Chapter 526: Chapter 262 Attack! _2

For onlookers like Long Dangdang, the course of this battle seemed both lengthy and swift, as if only a brief moment had passed, yet also as if it had lasted a very long time. On the battlefield, everyone could keenly feel their own insignificance. But at the same time they could also feel the ferocity of the war, developing a newfound comprehension for wraith entities.

Even though the human powerhouses did not take action, just as if by an unspoken agreement, neither did the elite undead in the wraith legion.

Upon inquiry, they found out that this kind of confrontation had occurred several times already. Each time it lasted for about half a day. The damages on both sides were not too severe. Undeniably, both sides were testing each other. Today, the six-winged blazing seraph made its debut, and on the side of the wraith legion, the Fear Sovereign and the hefty wraith entity also made their first appearance.

The celestial forbidden spell, like the six-winged blazing seraph, certainly isn’t easy to perform, but strong entities like Fear Sovereign likely wouldn’t be too numerous within the wraith legion. At least so far, the Federation’s Legion did not gain any advantage. Most importantly, the real power level of the wraith legion has yet to be ascertained.

Returning to their station, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts. Ming Xi, Yue Li, and Ling Menglu even looked somewhat pale. Watching the knights from the Earth Thorny Dragon Knight brigade being torn apart and devoured, that scene was too horrific—it etched varying degrees of trauma into their hearts. But witnessing the battle also made them comprehend the kind of catastrophe the ferocious wraith legion would bring when entering human realms. Each life-form could potentially become food for them or be transformed into a wraith. If the Temple Federation failed to hold back, there were chances the entire Land of the Sacred and Demonic could be turned into a phantom realm! Therefore, no matter what, the wraith legion must be defeated to protect one’s homeland.

This was a confrontation between races. There are no other options but to fight desperately.

"Captain, when will we execute our mission?" Ming Xi suddenly raised her head, looking at Long Dangdang.

Long Dangdang looked at her, then at everyone else.

They’d been here for two days. There were hundreds of tents in the demon hunting team’s station, accommodating the demon hunters for rest, which meant hundreds of demon hunting teams were participating in this war. But there were less than a quarter of teams resting in the tents, meaning that a large number of demon hunters had in fact already gone into the battlefield. Although it was unknown where they were, without a doubt, they were all contributing their strengths to counter the wraith legion.

"How about tonight?" spoke Long Dangdang in a deep voice.

The moment they heard his words, everyone’s eyes focused on him. Having just witnessed such a war, their emotions were somewhat mixed. But when they heard Long Dangdang announcing that they were going to start the mission, all emotions turned to fervor. Yes, killing wraiths was not about gaining merit anymore; it was for the survival of mankind.

Long Dangdang looked at the companions beside him, "If no one has any objections, then we’ll start the operation tonight. But I want to stress that no one can take risks, everyone must follow orders. For us and the entire mankind, if we fall into the hands of a wraith entity, we might be transformed into undead, become part of the enemy, become terrifying beings that destroy our human homes. This is something none of us want to see. So, preserving ourselves is the priority, and then to kill the enemy."

Everyone nodded in agreement. The reason why the wraith legion had become so powerful was not because they appeared out of thin air. A significant portion of them were obtained by darkly excavating graves and seizing corpses.

The one thing formidable humans fear most is not perishing in battle, but rather, becoming a part of the enemy after their death. That is the sight they dread the most.

They rested and recuperated in the afternoon, continuing only when the sky began to darken and the curtain of the night came down. Only then did Long Dangdang report to the demon hunting team’s battle headquarters before departing quietly from the north gate of their base with his companions.

The decision to move in the night was fully considered. One reason was that the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace and Dazzling Starlight Spirit Furnace can only manifest their power in the night. Another was that the cover of darkness could help them conceal themselves. Of course, there were negatives: at night, wraith entities became more potent than in the day. However, for reasons unknown, wraith entities had never launched a war at night, at least until now.

Upon leaving the army camp, Long Dangdang still donned the robes of a mage. A faint white glow emitted from him and enveloped his teammates. The restraining abilities of the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace didn’t suppress everyone’s power, but it had a different application. It suppressed the aura leaking from them. After being tweaked by the inertial adjustment of the Gently Absorb Slowly Regurgitate Spirit Furnace, their auras significantly diminished, making them hard to detect. Even if some beings had sharp senses, they would only sense their auras some time after they had left.

"Big bro, without you being a knight, I am feeling pressure," complained Long Kongkong, who held the Rising Spiritual Power Shield. As Long Dangdang was no longer serving as a knight, he became the only knight in the team, and he was somewhat unaccustomed. In the past, he used to see Long Dangdang in front of him, but now that Long Dangdang had switched to mage robes, he naturally hung back. As a protector knight, he didn’t stand at the front. Instead, it was Wang Changxin, the warrior with the giant hammer, who stood in the front line, which made him feel awkward.

"Less nonsense. If we encounter wraith entities, don’t use the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace to devour without my order, understand?" Long Dangdang rebuked.

"I know," Long Kongkong chuckled, his energy growing. Could anything be even more exhilarating than rapidly increasing cultivation level?

Back in the Devil Realm, his cultivation level was skyrocketing like an express train, holding the position of a stagecoach if it hadn’t been constrained by the Blood Refining Golden Body. His recent times– over half a month– were spent under the tutelage of Magic Demigod Wu Di at the Magic Temple, while he was cultivating his Blood Refining Golden Body by absorbing the bloodline of dragon genus magical beasts as a mainstay. At the moment, his Blood Refining Golden Body helped him cultivate up to 4000 outer spiritual powers, reaching the bottleneck that required the further cultivation of inner spiritual powers.

With an excellent place like the Devil Realm and the Starlight Baptism to clear the traumas brought by the Cultivation Technique, what could possibly accelerate cultivation more than this? After all, both Long Kongkong and Long Dangdang needn’t bear any pain or discomfort during the cultivation of Blood Refining Golden Body through absorbing the bloodline of dragon genus magical beasts.

Long Kongkong had a dream to be a strong man since childhood. He got to understand this was merely an unrealistic dream after becoming a professionist and beginning his cultivation. Who would have expected that there really was such an opportunity right in front of him right now? For this, he could exclaim with joy.

In some sense, he was already a 6th Rank knight. One who only reached the 6th Rank in terms of outer spiritual powers. Upon hearing they were going to the frontline to resist the wraith entities, Long Kongkong believed his opportunity had come. As soon as he cultivated his inner spiritual powers to 4000, he would serve as a bona fide 6th Rank knight. Coupled with external spiritual power of 4000, he could be a standout amongst 6th Rank knights. After all, both brothers had yet to turn seventeen, and thus being at the 6th Rank at this age was synonymous with peerless prodigies.

Although his elder sister had the highest talent, when it came to cultivation speed, he would soon surpass everyone. If Long Dangdang was limited by the Clear Moon Vast Ocean Spirit Furnace, he didn’t have such a limitation. From being the strongest in the team, Long Kongkong was so excited that he could wake from his dreams with laughter.
