The pain came from his arm, but Luo Xiu ignored it. He looked at where Old White was and prepared to cast a healing spell.
But the expected scene did not appear. Instead, a gray-white barrier appeared around Old White, and the fourth-order slime crashed into it.
Cracks appeared on the barrier, but it did not break.
However, one of the greyish-white crystals embedded in the hem of Old White's vulture robe broke off, seemingly having blocked the attack for him.
The fourth-tier slime flashed backward, gathering black energy in its mouth.
The next second, a destructive black beam shot towards Old White.
Click, click, click! !
Three of the greyish-white crystals along the edge of Old White's robe shattered in succession.
But he paid no attention to it, focusing intently on maintaining the huge gray-white magic circle beneath his feet.
He infused it with powerful streams of dead soul power.
This is the killing move he has been preparing for these beasts for many years!
After that land reclamation 25 years ago, he knew that one day, the land reclamation would come again.
He waited 25 years, preparing bit by bit from scratch, just to get to this day.
He was already prepared to die, just to bite those damned beasts and make up for the regret of that year.
Especially after he failed to advance to the fourth rank yesterday,
He had already given up hope of winning the war and only wanted these beasts to pay the price.
But a few hours earlier, he received a note.
The handwriting on the note was very familiar to him; it was the same handwriting he had seen when signing a simple slave contract.
He was initially skeptical of the note.
According to his original plan, the Knights should have retreated directly, leaving only the Vultures to use their deadly moves in a desperate fight.
But... just as the note said, the Knights did not retreat!
Moreover, that kid really did kill a third-tier slime like a war god.
The deaths of so many Tier 2 slimes and Tier 3 slimes resulted in an abundance of undead power on the field, enough for him to unleash 200% of the power of his prepared final killing move!
All of this incredible fact convinced old White that what was written on the note was true.
Finally, after the sixth crystal shattered beside Old White's robe, an incredibly terrifying power erupted from the magic circle on the ground.
With a roar from the abyss and an aura that seemed capable of suppressing everything, a gigantic soul-shaped bone claw emerged from the magic circle.
He slapped the ground.
Bang! ! !
The ground shook, and swathes of low-level slimes were instantly turned into a gooey mess.
It wasn't over yet. Immediately afterwards, another enormous soul-shaped bone claw emerged from the magic circle, repeating the same pattern.
The wails of the low-ranking slimes echoed across the entire slime plain.
Two bone claws pressed hard onto the ground, as if trying to drag the body hidden in the magic circle out with force.
Half of a terrifying-looking body burst out of the magic circle and appeared on the battlefield.
The half-body looked utterly mangled; even a spirit could see rotting flesh and holes on the body, and even faintly visible insects crawling within the holes.
And its head is exactly the same as the head on Old Huai's scepter!
A human head with a sharp beak.
This is the killer move that Old White has been preparing for all these years:
Sorenson's Call
Sorenson, the legendary leader of the Undead Knights in the Grand Continent, once led his Undead Knights to conquer all directions and destroy many nations, but ultimately died at the hands of a demigod.
Old White brandished his staff, pointing it directly at the group of third-tier slimes in front of him!
"kill."
Old White only uttered this one word.
But this word seems to be filled with endless anger!
Sensing Old White's intent, Sorenson immediately extended his enormous bone claw and reached for the group of third-tier slimes!
In front of Old White, the fourth-tier slime glanced solemnly at the half-giant body, but did not stop it. Instead, it continued to charge fiercely at Old White.
It had already realized that the person behind the gray barrier was the main caster of this skill.
Once he is dealt with, this skill will naturally crumble on its own.
Under Old White's mental command, the giant bone claws slashed fiercely at the group of third-tier slimes!
No matter how many slime projectiles rained down from the mouths of the third-tier slimes, they couldn't shake the bone claws in the slightest.
Swish! ! !
Sharp bone claws, like stacked blades, sliced through the towering, wall-like body, instantly slicing through the bodies of more than a dozen third-tier slimes.
The dozen or so Tier 3 slimes immediately fell into a near-death state.
This is also what Luo Xiu wrote on the note: do not completely kill the third-order slime.
With the contents of the note verified, old White naturally chose to continue believing in Roth.
Boom boom boom! ! !
Three more gray-white crystals along the hem of Old White's robe cracked, bringing the total to sixteen crystals, leaving only seven remaining.
Old White sighed.
This [Last Guardian of the Dead] is ultimately only a Tier 4 piece of equipment, so I can't unleash its full potential.
He controlled Sorenson to change the target of the attack to the fourth-tier slime in front of him, preventing [Last Protection of the Dead] from breaking directly.
At the same time, he looked at Luo Xiu, who was frantically exchanging blows with a fourth-tier slime beside him, and made a ready gesture.
After receiving Luo Xiu's hand gesture reply, Old White's mood sank, and he began to frantically absorb the remaining power of the dead souls on the field like a whirlwind.
He wants to break through to the fourth tier again! With his current power of the undead, it's definitely enough!
Chapter 59 Acting (Please Read Further) (3400-word Chapter)
Luo Xiu withdrew his gaze. With Sorenson's summons over to Old White, he would be fine for the time being.
According to what he said at the mobilization meeting, Sorenson's summons, with the support of more than a hundred vulture members, could last for at least an hour.
With sufficient undead power, its combat strength is absolutely comparable to that of a fourth-tier monster.
Luo Xiu's earliest rough plan did not include the appearance of vultures, nor did it include the appearance of a third fourth-tier slime.
That's how plans are; they can't stay unchanged forever.
He looked at the fourth-tier slime opposite him.
After several exchanges, he could feel the difference in strength between himself and his opponent, and his entire right arm was now in intense pain from the high-intensity collisions.
And his chest was also hit hard because of the initial speed difference.
That one blow made Luo Xiu feel as if his internal organs were churning.
A gentle white light shone, and the pain in my body was immediately relieved by about 80-90%.
The festering wound on the back of my hand healed instantly.
A look of surprise and doubt flashed in the black slime's crimson eyes. It had never seen a human possess such a powerful body and also have healing abilities.
And for some reason, it always felt that the human opposite it was getting faster and faster!
At first, this human couldn't keep up with my speed at all, but now he's only a little slower.
This is completely contrary to its understanding.
Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with scrutiny as he discerned the black slime's emotions and mental state:
[Emotional state: surprise, doubt, anger]
Mental state: Stable
Seeing the black slime's surprised and doubtful expression, Luo Xiu smiled.
Thanks to Ekraus and Leila who just killed another 15 Tier 2 Slimes, his speed attribute points have now reached 268.
Just one more step and we'll break through the fourth-tier barrier.
Although the black slime in front of him should be considered a speed-oriented type among fourth-tier creatures, Luo Xiu could accept it as long as it wasn't too far behind.
The black slime opposite him charged at Luo Xiu again. This time, Luo Xiu did not choose to fight back. Instead, he charged towards the dozen or so third-tier slimes that Sorenson had captured and left with only one breath left.
The black slime sensed that Luo Xiu was about to kill its own kind first, and let out an angry roar. It leaped from the ground and crashed into Luo Xiu's back like a black hurricane.
Luo Xiu had no intention of defending; he simply charged forward, letting the black slime smash into his back.
puff!
A mouthful of bright red blood spurted from his mouth.
Luo Xiu felt as if he had been hit from behind by a giant rock with immense force.
But his speed did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it accelerated a bit due to the impact, and he rushed to the third-tier slime lying on the ground.
Boom boom boom! ! !
The uninjured third-tier slime swarm, which had been firing slime projectiles at the distant knights, quickly turned around and aimed at Luo Xiu upon seeing this.
Eight or nine groups of slime-filled shells bombarded Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu still didn't dodge, casting a healing spell and directly taking all the damage.
All he could see now were those dozen or so Tier 3 slimes!
Those enormous bodies were just white dots in his eyes!
Swish swish!
