CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 21: MAJESTIC MILITARY PRESENCE_3

Skill: [Blade Light Slash: Swiftly swing your long blade, inflicting damage on the target 5 times. Successfully landing the last hit will apply the Soul Slash effect, reducing the target’s Soul Value Limit by 5, lasting 30 minutes. Cooldown 15 seconds, consumes 20 Spiritual Energy.]

[Swift Shadow Slash: Dash towards the enemy at lightning speed and slash. Hitting the enemy allows you to immediately initiate another slash from behind, causing the kneeling effect, doubling the damage. Cooldown 15 seconds, consumes 10 Spiritual Energy]

Equipment: [Fine-level Weapon (Blue) Crimson Blade]

Lin Rui’s eyes lit up; this Elite-level troop didn’t have any flashy attributes, but it was decisively powerful, unleashing high bursts of damage instantly.

More importantly, her Blade Light Slash could work with the sand sculpture girl’s ultimate move, Death God’s Finger. She temporarily reduced the opponent’s Soul Value Limit, and Audrey triggered the instant death effect. No wonder she was Audrey’s first Summoned Creature; she was the core of Audrey’s combat strength.

Lin Rui then opened the Attribute Panel of the Vampire Gentleman.

Audrey is indeed a naming genius; this vampire is actually called Playboy.

And this Vampire Spellcaster is as peculiar as his master, possessing the classic strong output of a Mage, but the skills can only be released in melee range. If it weren’t for a life-saving skill, with that 420 points of Life Value, he’d constantly feel what it means for death to be like the wind, always around me.

Indeed, every Playboy flirts crazily on the edge of death.

Fortunately, Audrey has a Rare Level Trait; this troop can be resurrected with Spiritual Energy when it dies. All five of her Summoned Creatures enjoy this privilege.

After inspecting his powerful army, Lin Rui waved his hand and ordered: "Enter the ruins."

Champion Knight Lundestadte led two knights forward, strenuously pushing open the heavy door with elaborate engravings, as a bloody wind rushed toward them.

Lin Rui frowned; how many creatures had to be killed inside to create such a dense smell of blood? This ruin seemed far from a good place.

Everyone followed the banner in single file, with the knights leading the way. A dense horde of zombies followed, then Lin Rui, accompanied by two Woodland Fairies as the strong Priest Corps, entered the ruins.

Audrey, as the leader of the Mage Corps, followed last with her Summoned Creatures and Skeleton Warriors.

This ruin seemed to use spatial technology; once through the ruins’ gate, the view expanded immediately, appearing to be at least a hundred times larger than the outside.

In sight was a vast marble plaza, with hundreds of steps extending down to the crowd from a platform.

On either side of the steps stood thick stone pillars at intervals, though some had been broken, with half-collapsed pillars leaving deep pits with fissures on the ground, surrounded by dark brown coagulated blood.

Even more terrifying were the densely packed corpses stretching from the platform’s top to below the stairs, with bodies lying haphazardly across the hundreds of steps.

The corpses mainly comprised two factions, one being deep red ferocious humanoid monsters. Some had sharp bone spurs and hideous bodies, while others wore crimson plate armor, wrapping their bodies like towers, with decayed shields and great axes scattered on the ground.

The other faction was human; however, these humans went to battle without wearing plate armor, but all wore white cleric robes. Unlike church clergy, these were unmistakably Muscle Bullies, with their loose robes failing to conceal their muscular bodies.

Compared to them, bodybuilders looked like mere chicks; each was tall and brawny, with muscles that could have horses run on them, and a punch that could crush a giant lizard’s head. The small stature of Skeleton Warriors would be easily dismantled into a pile of skeleton frames in front of them.

"Go up to the platform and take a look," Lin Rui ordered. Though the scene was incredibly horrifying, having reached this point, they couldn’t possibly retreat.
