Chapter 844: Chapter 844 Skeleton Mage

Whether for the Hunter Association or the monsters at Heavenly Pillar Peak, this round of the Red Moon came too suddenly.

However, those rockets and grenades have already been launched, and naturally can’t be recalled. The undead creatures, losing half of their strength, faced heavy casualties instantly.

What they could withstand earlier, they suddenly couldn’t; what they could dodge, they suddenly couldn’t; what they could self-recover, they simply perished.

To put it simply, the effect was extraordinary!

Sun Shanxing immediately realized that the superpower user who created this Red Moon was on their side, so he had no hesitation and ordered the artillery to fire two more rounds.

Seeing that the monsters outside were almost dead or wounded, Illiyat prepared to end the Red Moon, as this thing restricts not only the undead but also superpower users.

Next, he was going to infiltrate the cave to assassinate Wen Li. If it were ordinary buildings, the domineering light of the Red Moon could easily penetrate them, but the Federation’s highest peak, Heavenly Pillar Peak, was another matter.

Before ending the Red Moon, Illiyat directly released a blood-colored energy column that smashed the guarding Slime Monster into bits, and cleaned up the polluted entrance too—it was only then that he ended the Red Moon in the sky.

Illiyat had been displeased with this Slime Monster for a long time. Such a filthy creature shouldn’t exist in the world; merely seeing the Slime Monster made his skin crawl.

Afterward, Illiyat transformed into a swarm of blood-colored bats that chirped and rushed into the cave.

On the way, there were some Undead Guards and Undead Maids, but they all turned into mummies as Illiyat passed through.

Inside the cave, there were other high-level undead, but the only real threats to Illiyat were two: his target, Wen Li, and the ’Glutton’ Yan Can who always stuck by Wen Li!

As Illiyat passed by, Yan Can merely gave him a cold glance, then picked up a mummy, which instantly turned into a huge beef jerky, and Yan Can nibbled at it slowly.

Subsequently, Illiyat saw Wen Li sitting on the throne with a crooked crown.

Wen Li’s face bore conspicuous scars, rendering his signature small eyes less visible, and he displayed a hint of puzzlement upon seeing Illiyat.

Based on the intelligence he mastered, there shouldn’t be a True Sequence Blood Clan attacking him.

"I’m curious, what’s your reason for assassinating me."

Wen Li gently tapped the crown on his head, which was wholly made of gold and engraved with twisted undead patterns.

Illiyat did not respond, but directly launched a blood-colored energy column at him.

His mission did not include chatting with Wen Li; he had to eliminate Wen Li before the people from the Hunter Association arrived.

Wen Li snorted coldly, extended another hand, and crimson gas condensed on it, subsequently releasing an equally thick crimson energy from his hand.

Illiyat’s attack scattered upon contact, and his arm was also pulverized by the crimson energy column.

Wen Li stood up from the throne and stretched his muscles. Illiyat’s attack was an unexpected situation for him, but he could manage such surprises.

"It should be a few minutes before the people from the Hunter Association arrive; until then, let’s use you for some exercise."

Illiyat’s arm instantly regenerated, and a hint of madness appeared on his face; he crazily licked his lips.

He has already been affected by the Crimson Force.

...

After the cannon fire ceased, Sun Shanxing’s figure shot out like a cannonball.

Meanwhile, the other Demon Hunters split into three teams, advancing steadily.

If Wen Li opted to flee, he would inevitably encounter a team of Demon Hunters and eventually face encirclement.

If he chose not to flee, then these three teams would converge at one place, with the same end result.

Wen Wen and Wu Liugen charged at the forefront, and when they encountered a few monsters, they were slain by long-distance attacks from the superpower users behind them before Wen Wen and Wu Liugen could act.

Numerous superpower users followed behind them, including Gu Panxi and Fearful Butterfly.

However, they blended in with the group, not standing out much; the ones really close to Wen Wen, Wu Liugen, and the others were Chu Wei and two unnamed Dragon Set Demon Hunters.

Considering Chu Wei’s outstanding performance against Demonic Speech Meat Mountain was entirely in Wu Liugen’s eyes, Wen Wen saw no point in having Chu Wei stay in the first team.

As for the two Dragon Set Demon Hunters, it was simply because they ran relatively close.

After running for a short while, Wen Wen and the team encountered the only post they needed to breach in this mission.

Since there were only three paths to that cave, the undead naturally arranged heavy defenses on all three. Although only half of their forces remained, it was enough to cause Wen Wen and the team some trouble.

In fact, without Illiyat’s Red Moon, casualties wouldn’t have occurred at this post.

Here stood a Skeleton Mage with Upper Sequence strength, ranked among the top tier of Upper Sequence.

Normally, when the barrage came, the Skeleton Mage could erect a barrier to shield the entire post.

However, due to the Red Moon, the original bone plates turned into a bone mesh, and so the bombardment inflicted considerable casualties.

Unfortunately, the Red Moon’s gone, so the Skeleton Mage was brimming with confidence.

Though he couldn’t match two True Sequences, he could definitely hold them off.

This Skeleton Mage was not typically a standout undead. He appeared like a Dragon Set, and his bone barriers looked cheap; when placed among lower-level skeletons, distinguishing him was hard.

This was not a flaw but an advantage!

Unless someone recognized him, no one would regard him as an Upper Sequence undead.

Thus, Wen Wen, Wu Liugen, and the others naturally overlooked him, targeting those seemingly more dangerous undead first.

The Skeleton Mage sneered sinisterly, readying his staff to deliver a surprise to these cocky living beings.

At this moment, he saw two rather unremarkable, nondescript Demon Hunters charging toward him.

It wasn’t that Wen Wen and the others were ignoring the Skeleton Mage; they deemed him a lower-tier undead unworthy of their effort.

Thus, they left the task to other nearby superpower users; naturally, the nondescript Demon Hunters beside Wen Wen stepped up.

The Skeleton Mage raised his hand to eliminate these two Demon Hunters, planning to then ambush the two True Sequences.

Then...

His head fell to the ground!
