Hero Route 2

Ariana: "(;≧Д≦) aaaaaaaaaa——!!"

She moved! The beam of light swept across the undead army!

Wherever the beam passed, a large amount of black gas erupted, but any skeleton soldier that came into contact with the beam was instantly reduced to bones, and even the "leaders" were annihilated!

Skeleton Mage: 「aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!」

A small number of undead who reacted in time burrowed into the ground, but this single attack killed at least ten or more Class 3 monsters!

The Skeleton Knight stood in front of the Skeleton Mage with his shield raised, and the dark black greatshield unexpectedly began to emit black smoke, as if it were burning.

If the Skeleton Knight had a sense of touch, he would have probably thrown the burning shield away?

After the surviving Class 3 ghosts hid underground, the beam swept across the ground for about 5 seconds, plowing through the entire hall several times.

The originally dense army of skeletons was reduced to a few scattered ones who had just managed to hide behind pillars, and a small number who hadn't yet emerged from the hallways.

In a few short seconds, the army had been completely routed!

「Why?!」

The Skeleton Mage looked at the piles of bones, his anger rising.

Why didn't the humans attack the Executioner first?!

Shouldn't they attack the greatest threat first?!

With this beam attack, at least half of the twenty intangible Class 3 undead were killed.

The opponents seemed to have deliberately quickly wiped out a large number of intangible Class 3 undead, then slowly cleaned up the skeleton soldiers.

Humans actually have such methods?!

Based on its senses, there were still 8 intangible Class 3 undead remaining.

And on the field, the Executioner, Bull Demon, and Skeleton Knight had all withstood the

opponent's attack, and had suffered some injuries.

The Howling Succubus, with her high speed, had dodged the beam without suffering any damage.

Ah, there were still thirteen undead, including the Skeleton Mage, who could pose a threat!

"There are still thirteen Class 3 monsters or higher."

At this moment, a woman's voice echoed.

The Skeleton Mage was extremely shocked.

The opponent's understanding of undead was actually on par with his?!

Could it be that the opponent is a human who studies undead magic?!

Impossible!

Death is the beginning of undead magic, how could a living human possess comparable abilities to his?

If a living human's undead magic could surpass his, a dead mage…

Wouldn't that be pointless?!

He had embraced death to improve his undead magic!

Wait… is this the time to think about this?!

The Skeleton Mage issued the order telepathically:

「Executioner and Bull Demon, charge and draw the enemy's attention! Succubus, flank and kill the enemy mage! This attack will consume a large amount of her Prana, now is the best time to attack!」

"Moo…ooo…——!!"

"Thump! Thump! Thump!!"

A deafening moo echoed, along with the heavy footsteps of the Skeleton Executioner.

Finally, Ariana, who hadn't seen the full picture of the situation, caught sight of two monsters through the faint torchlight in the hall.

The Skeleton Executioner, as Miruku had mentioned, was over 3 meters tall, with a physique similar to a Goblin Centurion.

Its entire body was covered in thick, dark black armor, and in its hands, it wielded a massive black double-headed axe about a meter wide.

The Bull Demon was a minotaur-like creature, 2 meters tall, with a large frame.

It looked strong, but it wasn't muscular. Instead, its entire body was covered in a layer of bullhide, the bullhide tightly attached to the thick bones. A pale blue flame burned within the bull skull.

The two monsters charged towards the five!

Anyi looked at Layton: "Let's go."

"Okay!"

Layton shouted, raising his shield and charging towards the two monsters.

Anyi, wielding the Hero's Sword, followed closely behind, charging forward.

In the darkness, the Skeleton Mage sneered inwardly. 

「Fooled, humans!」 

As soon as the two moved a few dozen meters, a white figure dashed from the ground, quickly climbing along the wall to the ceiling— 

"Careful!" Karen spotted the opponent. 

"Swish——" 

A white-robed Succubus with sharp teeth and claws and long hair jumped down from the ceiling! 

Ariana immediately raised her staff to target the opponent. 

"A——!!!" 

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing shriek, like needles piercing their eardrums, entered their brains, a sharp pain sweeping through their heads! 

Ariana painfully covered her ears, and Karen, who had always relied on her hearing, was directly brought to her knees in pain! 

[Negative Status: Shriek 

Suffered a sonic attack, resulting in temporary stun and ear pain.] 

"Die——" The Howling Succubus sneered and swiped her claws at the two— 

If the Skeleton Mage had skin, he would definitely have a pleased expression. 

Those two men are gone, and these three women… 

Wait… 

There's another woman?! 

"Clang!" 

At this moment, the sound of metal colliding jolted the Skeleton Mage out of his thoughts. 

Between the Howling Succubus and the two women, a girl wielding twin daggers suddenly appeared! 

「When did she appear?!」 

The Skeleton Mage was shocked! 

Because it hadn't seen when the girl left, nor when she appeared! 

What exactly happened?! 

The claws and daggers made a clicking sound as they rubbed against each other. The girl clearly couldn't hold on, her trembling hands were getting heavier and heavier. 

"Ah!" 

The Howling Succubus, although she hadn't seen when the girl appeared, realized that the girl was far inferior to her in Strength. 

Therefore, she suddenly pressed her hands down and bit the girl's neck with her sharp teeth! 

"Creak!" 

At this moment, she felt weightless, her fangs suddenly bit into empty air. 

Disappeared?! 

Before she could react, she suddenly felt an attack on her back. 

She didn't feel any pain, but when she turned around, she found the girl she was about to kill squatting behind her, stabbing her neck several times. 

"Get lost!!" The Howling Succubus raised her claws and swiped back. 

But the girl simply jumped back slightly and easily dodged her attack. 

「What's going on?!」 

This thought appeared in the minds of both the Skeleton Mage and the Howling Succubus. 

This girl's speed… was faster than the Howling Succubus (me)?! 

At this moment, Miruku, standing on the side, felt a little relieved. 

Fortunately, the opponent didn't continue attacking Ariana and Karen, otherwise, it would have been troublesome. 

Because what Miruku needed to do now wasn't to quickly take the two away. 

But to draw the opponent's attention to herself first. 

The opponent's Agility was very high, 30. 

As long as she separated the two, even if she only took them to a safe place and then returned, the opponent would immediately go to assist the Skeleton Executioner and the Bull Demon. 

Moreover, the Skeleton Knight, Skeleton Mage, and other undead were watching from a nearby hidden location, she couldn't take the two to a place where she couldn't cooperate. 

Therefore… 

She needed to protect the two while restraining the opponent here! 

It would be best if she could kill it here! 

「Strength Points, +4.」
