Chapter 86: Enter the Wilderness! The truth of the Apocalypse!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On their way to their destination, they encountered several waves of skeleton monsters and Undead Knights.

Without a need for Link and his people to help, the Temple of Light’s team of people easily killed these monsters.

A solemn expression appeared on both Xue Linglong’s and Luo Xingyao’s faces. Both of them came to a consensus: These people are very strong!

Whether it was their cooperation or their means, they were definitely not something the mob of Evolvers from yesterday could compare with!

Luo Xingyao rushed up a few steps and softly said to Link, “Lord, these people have probably gained insights on certain things through their inheritance. If not, it’s impossible for them to reach such a stage at the start of the apocalypse.”

Indeed, the depth of the Temple of Light’s knowledge and resources in this apocalyptic world was so unfathomable that it wasn’t normal. When it came to Stage Four combat power alone, this Temple of Light team already had two such existences!

Also, this was only what Link had seen so far. It definitely wasn’t the Temple of Light’s entire strength! At the very least, the Temple of Light’s leader still hadn’t appeared...

Link nodded lightly. Luo Xingyao’s words caused him to think about the World Society’s President—who he beheaded yesterday. That person was an ancient martial arts heir.

In Link’s previous life, people who were ancient martial art heirs either died halfway or became powerful beings. For example, the Spring and Autumn Sword Technique’s heir saved the five home cities from destruction.

Link couldn’t help but suspect that the inheritances from ancient times were linked to the apocalypse. After all, it seemed like these inheritances were all prepared for the apocalypse.

Combined with the rumor he heard from his previous life that the historical ruin the Temple of Light found was left behind by creatures from the previous era... Link vaguely felt that he seemed to have captured a corner of the truth...

This cruel apocalypse... Is it a game of the gods or the cycle of fate? Link desperately wanted to enter that place—which seemed to be a historical ruin from the previous era—and explore the truth!

...

The team marched into a forest in the wilderness.

“Stop.” The Temple of Light’s Elder Tian suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone.

Link’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his aura became slightly more dangerous. He could perceive that there were some cold auras faintly emanating from in front. Stage Three leader-level monsters were gathered there at the very least.

“The place in front is where the Necromancer is. This type of overlord-level monster has a strong sense of territory. As soon as we step into its territory, it means that the battle has begun. All of you get ready!” said Wu Hao in a deep voice. As light flowed in his hand, he tightly held on to a halberd—which was vibrating with brilliance.

All of the Temple of Light’s people became solemn and got ready for battle.

Even Ou Chen—who behaved improperly most of the time—also tightly pressed his lips together and held a staff. A faint light appeared all over his body!

“The light is eternal! Attack!”

Following this command, the Temple of Light’s people all strode out in large steps, their aura vast and majestic.

Link also held the [King’s Sword] and led Xue Linglong and others into that dangerous territory.

In the twinkling of an eye, everyone felt a strong breath of death blowing toward them. The surrounding temperature seemed to drop suddenly.

“Intruders, die!” A hoarse roar sounded.

Undead Knights—which were wandering around the periphery—were the first to spot them. The Undead Knights rode on their undead horses and charged toward them!

Crack!

An icy spear—shining with a green glow—tore through the air and pierced toward Wu Hao’s chest.

A look of disdain flashed in Wu Hao’s eyes, and the halberd in his hand pierced out like a dragon flying out of the water!

Wu Hao actually tossed the Undead Knight into the air along with its horse with just this strike!

A few arrows then flew through the air—bringing along a golden stream of light—and instantly pierced into the Undead Knight’s body, which was still in the air.

This Stage Two, Level 8 elite creature—which was close to reaching Stage Three—was instantly killed. It was unable to retaliate at all!

At the side, Elder Tian Mingyuan, Ou Chen, and the other mages’ chanting had also ended!

Suddenly, a huge golden ball of light fell from the sky like a meteorite crashing to the ground!

Rich golden light bloomed and burst out, killing dozens of Death Knights instantly.

There was also a person with the Priest profession that waved out streams of light to buff everyone with positive effects.

This was an elite team that cooperated with familiarity and had almost all aspects covered—powerful and efficient!

As for Link’s side, it was much simpler.

Holy Angel Yuna used [Holy Light Beam], leaving only a few Undead Knights still alive.

Then, these remaining Undead Knights’ skulls were quickly crushed by Xue Linglong’s [Spear of the Frosty Moon]!

These monsters were too weak for Link to take notice of. He was too lazy to hunt and kill them, so he let Xue Linglong and Luo Xingyao kill them to gain EXP.

Xue Linglong’s looks were already very outstanding in the first place, and she was called the iceberg beauty. Her aura became even colder following the continuous improvement of her profession’s—[Extreme Ice Combat Maiden]—abilities. She was like a snow lotus carved from ice and snow on the top of the mountain, transcending the world.

At this moment, even her appearance of holding a spear and fighting brazenly also looked extremely stunning!

Luo Xingyao held the [Bow of Elf], and her movements were also fairy-like. Each of her arrows hit their mark, making her look equally beautiful!

Many of the Temple of Light Evolvers glanced at them from time to time, almost dumbfounded by their beauty.

Stage Two monsters couldn’t stop them at all, and the group kept advancing.

Deep in the mountains, a roar full of resentment resounded! “What a disgusting scent. You people actually dare to disturb us? All of you will pay for this with your lives!”

A strong breath of death soon blew into their faces.

Five Dark Magi appeared in front of everyone, a terrifying power of death rippling from their staffs.

There were also many Death Knights surrounding the place, seemingly plunging the group of humans into a sea of Undead!

At this moment, even the Temple of Light’s Stage Four beings—Wu Hao and Tian Mingyuan—had slightly more solemn expressions on their faces. After all, there were many monsters here—as well as Stage Three leader-level bosses. If they were not careful, their team would suffer heavy losses!

This was why they formed an alliance with Link!

“Everyone, be careful!” reminded Tian Mingyuan and immediately started waving with his staff while chanting!

Link nodded slightly, his interest finally piqued.

The battle was about to start at any moment. The place was immediately enveloped by various magic lights and weapon shadows!

Boom!

The loud explosions never ceased!

Undead Knights continuously fell to the ground, disappearing with the wind.

A Stage Three [Dark Magus] was even brutally beheaded by Link’s sword!

[Ding! You successfully killed a Dark Magus. Gained 5,000 EXP!]

[Ding! You successfully killed an Undead Knight. Gained 100 EXP!]

...

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully leveling up to Stage Three, Level 2!]

Everyone was fighting steadily, and Link and two powerful Stage Four beings were also looking over them. Hence, there were no casualties so far. However, the Undead creatures’ continuous deaths seemed to have angered certain existences in the depths of the mountains.

An alarmingly angry roar sounded! “Humans, you shall die in fear and despair!”

At the same time, the densely packed team of Undead Knights suddenly separated in the middle as if to welcome a higher-ranking existence!

A sinister and cold aura pounced onto the humans’ faces, and a powerful pressure came with it!

The Temple of Light’s people looked at each other with nervous faces. They knew that their main enemy was about to appear!

But almost everyone’s hearts violently shrank the next moment!
