Chapter 528: Gate of the Past - Danacus’s Halls of the Dead (Two Chapters combined, 7000 words, only one update today)_2

Behind her, the knights’ contingent of a thousand men held firm against the pressure from both sides, continuously expanding the gap opened by Nellie. These heavily armored knights held a lance in one hand and waved a heavy sword in the other, causing great damage to the surrounding Undead and continuously advancing in step with Nellie. The illusionary square banners fluttered behind each knight, as long as the banners remained standing, the knights would never fall. This was the glory of the knights.

However, the enemy’s power was also formidable. With the advancement of the wedge formation, more and more banners were broken, and knights with severe injuries under the flag disappeared into specks of light. But every time this happened, knights from within the formation would always timely take the place of the fallen, taking over their tasks and pushing forward. The ghastly Undead, like a raging waterfall, kept rushing forward relentlessly but the knights pushed upstream and made significant headway against the tide. They managed to advance more than seven kilometers against the flow of the Undead.

Yet even the strongest warrior could fall. The increasingly dense enemy forces began to slow the knights’ charge, and the fluttering banners became fewer and fewer. Finally, the momentum of the knights’ charge ceased, and the last few dozen banners also vanished at once. The phantom knights summoned returned to nonexistence, leaving Nellie alone, standing still with her long lance held sideways, facing the surging Undead Tide by herself.

A crescent-shaped Vacuum Slash was launched from behind. Aggression gathered on the lightblade, and a timely and clever gap appeared that precisely avoided Nellie’s body. After closing again in front of her, it slashed into the Undead that were dangerously close to her. The Vacuum Slash is a common skill amongst Silver Rank or higher close-combat professionals, just a simple forward cut with the Aggression Blade. But using it in Kyle’s hands brought astounding results. The normally one or two-meter wide Aggression Blade, when used by Kyle, expanded a hundred times in width. The two-hundred-meter wide thin Aggression Blade was incredibly sharp and completely cleared the enemies about to encircle Nellie. Kyle’s attack advanced almost another hundred meters before halting and exploding amongst the enemy, causing secondary damage.

Using this opportunity, Dillie raced over to Nellie’s side. Kyle extended a hand, and Nellie elegantly used his arm to leap onto Dillie’s back. The pristine unicorn neighed long and after nodding at Nellie, his body became illusory and then he disappeared.

At the same time, Lady Mina, who had been sitting on Dillie’s back, suddenly gave her cloak a flick. Remaining seated, she floated up and exploded into a golden glow in mid-air. After the dazzling golden radiance dispersed, shadows engulfed the space above Dillie, and a golden Dragon with a length exceeding a hundred meters began flapping its giant wings, keeping pace with Dillie as they moved forward together. The golden Dragon possessed a streamlined, symmetrical physique, brimming with explosive power. Its glossy scales, bathed in moonlight, emitted a cold glow. After returning to her dragon form, Mina raises her slender neck, releasing a dragon roar into the night sky. The prolonged and clear roar carried an astonishing penetrating power, resonating far and wide.

"It is indeed the Guardian created by Lord Yarra. It is indeed the strongest combat Drake under the gods’s." Even deep within the Undead Tide, with enemies visible in all directions, Kyle could still calmly compliment Lady Mina: "This perfect combination of power and beauty is enough to make everyone who witnesses it become captivated."

"But I have a bad feeling". The scorpion-tailed lion Dillie muttered: "Really bad".

The Dragon glided in the sky with the group, and her large body made her the primary target for all the nearby Undead. Numerous bone arrows and magic were released from the skeleton archers, Skeleton Mages and Necromancers, attacking the Dragon Mina like rain. But Mina ignored these attacks completely. The dense offensive barely reached Mina before colliding with her robust shield, easily deflecting and dissolving them. The Dragon raised her head to the sky, took a deep breath, and forcefully opened her mouth to unleash a breath of fire towards the space in front of her. The high-temperature Flame Dragon Breath descended from the sky, and the hundred-meter-wide flame forcibly burned a path in front of them. Mina did not exhale ordinary Dragon Breath, but a special breath, highly compressed. All the Undead along the path turned to flying ash, including the demigod ones. This was the most terrifying part of a Dragon. Even demigod-level beings in the wise creatures could use Aggression to avoid being instantly killed, but the remnant power could still penetrate into their shields, causing substantial damage.

The Dragons’ breath not only incinerated the white bones but even melted the yellow sand on the ground. The ground solidified into a smooth surface, on which Dillie spread out his four limbs and ran at an even higher speed.

"I knew I was screwed." Dillie complained miserably as he ran: "I’m burning, I’m burning! You guys are too vicious, making me run barefoot on such high-temperature ground. Just wait for my revenge, bastards, ah ah ah I’m getting blisters on the soles of my feet."
