(After brain testing, I found that the fight against the elite army could be a bit challenging, so I made some adjustments to the Radient Spirit from the previous chapter, downgrading its rank to ‘Rare Three-star’.)

The seventh level differed slightly from the previous six.

Unlike the preceding enemies who launched a staggering offensive immediately, these were forming their battle lines continuously. More than a thousand Radiant Spirits stood protectively on either side of the hero elderly like a pair of golden wings spreading out to both sides.

Radiating a gold light, their energy was as profound as an ocean.

From afar, Mu Yuan watched with a grave expression.

Having a commander made the battle quite different from one without!

These soldiers found in the Land of Challenge, displayed a certain level of strategic capability and tactical knowledge, significantly more advanced than mindless wild monsters. Nonetheless, they weren’t a united army. Therefore, the main enemies faced by the Undead Legion in actual combat were only less than half of these Radiant Spirits.

The Dead Bone General expertly led troops, outmaneuvering the enemies, slicing through their lines to establish advantages. At times, they even managed to outnumber their enemies, surrounding and swiftly annihilating dozens of Radiant Spirits.

With leadership and the assistance of Rakshasa and Hong Yi as leading attackers, the Undead Legion repeatedly chipped away at the enemy’s numbers, slowly establishing an advantage before securing victory.

It doesn’t mean that the Radiant Spirits were incompetent. Their battle Al was high.

It was just that the Dead Bone held an upper hand.

Nevertheless, now their opponents also had a Hero commanding them, and their teamwork would inevitably become more harmonious, forming a more tightly-knit whole.

Besides, having a Hero in place also meant that these Radiant Spirits… were benefiting from the aura of a hero.

Boost!

The soldiers of a Lord’s house held several advantages over these “wild soldiers” guarding the levels. First, they underwent special training and had consumed all sorts of treasures, which made them physically stronger and spiritually more energetic compared to their peers. Secondly, the Lord’s King’s Legion would surely wear superior or even luxurious equipment, while the “wild soldiers” wore only standard uniforms.

Referring to General Dead Bone, Apprentice-level combat shattered the armor of the Skeleton General, which demonstrated the inadequacy of standard equipment.

However, the main advantage of his Undead Legion in fighting and wreaking havoc among the elite soldiers was the aura of a hero.

Under the Dead Bone, the Skeleton General, Resentful Evil Spirits, and others, reveived two types of boosts.

One was the boost from a level 3 Hero’s Aura – level 3 attack, level 3 defense, +30% movement speed, and +30% energy for Undead system soldiers.

Secondly, it was the boost brought about by the unique ability ‘Undead Domination’ – medium-small power enhancement, medium-small energy capacity enhancement, and medium energy recovery speed enhancement.

With these two boosts, a rank 6 Skeleton War General of the first order had nearly equal basic qualities to an Ironclad Scorpion that just made it to the elite level. Moreover, the Skeleton Mortician could rival rare soldiers in the early and middle stages of the elite level.

Mu Yuan estimated that this Radiant Spirit Hero only possessed the most basic boost aura, but… it still provided more than a thousand Radiant Spirits with a tremendous boost.

Besides, the Radiant Spirits themselves were top-notch rare soldiers. The Huan Chao Spring Spirits next door were already considered rare gems among Rare Three-star soldiers; they were expensive yet powerful. Radiant Spirits were even pricier and more powerful.

A direct confrontation would be quite challenging.

However,

The enemy of this level had a weakness!

“The Hero!”

“The Hero!”

The Dead Bone gazed into the distance, murmuring in his heart. After quickly discussing strategies with Rakshasa and a few others, they immediately determined their battle tactics.

The Old Man guarding the gate didn’t charge forward but exhibited a seemingly friendly demeanor.

“Don’t rush, take your time. I will always give newcomers like you who have just arrived at this level some preferential treatment.”

“However, once you start to move, you need to be prepared… to face my thunderous onslaught.”

He existed in the form of a Radiant Spirit. Yet beneath his white whirling long hair and friendly smile was an overwhelmingly domineering aura.

Like a sword thrusting into the sky!

“Fight!”

To respond, the Dead Bone simply uttered that chilled word.

As soon as the word slipped out, the black fog around the Legion began to boil intensely.

The old Hero seemed not to have much martial virtues. While talking about preferential treatments, he swung his arm down the moment the Dead Bone finished speaking. The Radiant Sprits, standing in a wing-like arc array, stretched out their hands, overlapped them, and raised their palms outward, brewing a cluster of shining golden light.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh

Golden orange light beams, like an overwhelming wave of shooting stars, drowned the entire sky.

But the Dead Bone was well-prepared.

At this moment, the boiling black fog, mirroring galloping steeds or a vast cloud, broke out at a speed one-fourth of Rakshasa’s full speed with him leading the charge. The horses manifested by the black fog galloped, and in an instant, they sidestepped hundreds of gold beams.

The golden light engulfed the area where the Legion stood, instantly incinerating the tender grass. Then the earth collapsed and rumbled down into the depths beneath.

But the Undead Legion had already made it hundreds to thousands of miles away the moment the light beams shot out.

Even here, the golden light was like a net.

The elderly man guarding the gate predicted the Dead Bone’s move!

“Cut!”

Finally, the Dead Bone unsheathed Wailing Death.

With the overlapping of the ‘Under Domination’ talent and the seamless unity of the Legion, it conjured a sword light several dozen meters long in an instant. No, it wasn’t a sword light.

But a giant sword, formed from condensed black fog, with crimson lines visible on its blade.

The giant sword collided with two to three hundred beams of golden light.

It blocked most of the golden light.

The black giant sword crackled and shattered with a bang.
