Mystical Journey Chapter 1305

“Everyone, prepare for battle.”

Blue Void's was magnified through the Sound Amplification Spell, so that everyone could hear it.

The Warriors all put on their armor and helmets, picking up their weapons. The Wizards started giving them temporary Enchantments, the magic light from the many spells lighting up on their armor and weapons, temporarily increasing their power by one level.

With the Contractors standing in a ring at the center, they rapidly began to build a temporary fence around the campsite. The circles of white bone fencing were the masterpiece created by the Necromancer Wizards. Since there was so much negative energy here, it was very easy to unleash a spell like the White Bone Fence, and the sharp spikes on the fence were even tipped with poison. Even if regular Undead Zombies got pricked by these, their bodies would also rot away.

Spheres of illuminating light were released and made to float above the campsite.

Soon enough, a circular campsite with a hundred-meter radius constructed, taking up a large area on the plaza.

In the darkness, the wisps of black smoke and fog wafted over from the unseen shadows around them, and they could vaguely hear low roars coming faintly from within the dark fog.

The campsite was illuminated, making it an extremely obvious target in the dark plaza.

Blue Void and a few Great Wizards under his lead flew in the air, their expressions solemn, and they constantly held scrolls in their hands.

At times like these, it was best to use up the scrolls first, conserving their own spirit power lest they used up all their power and could not escape later.

As powerful nobles and royalty, it was only natural that they had a great many scrolls at their disposal.

Several scouts treaded lightly as they darted into the darkness nearby, and soon they heard the fine sounds of blades clashing, then the scouts rushed back out, hastily and hurriedly.

“The Undead!! So many Undead!!”

A scout cried out in panic.

Ever since they entered the ruins, he had gone out scouting many times, all over the place. But he had never been this panicked.

“There's an Advanced Undead as well!” reported the other scout loudly as well.

“Ready!” said Blue Void in a loud voice, telling the scouts to return to the squad.

The slightly over ten Warriors remaining stood at the very front of the team, followed by the team's Wizards who were starting to prepare their spells.

“Those who can use Holy Light Rays, please do use that. Those who can't, please use Light of Lunia.”

Holy Light Rays and Light of Lunia were both Level One spells, but both were spells that used pure positive energy, so they were extremely effective in suppressing the Undead. The difference was that Holy Light Rays had a key condition that needed to be fulfilled, otherwise the Wizard would not be able to use it. The condition was that they needed to abstain from sex for at least three months.

If you wanted to use the pure positive energy from the Heavenly Mountain, this key condition was mandatory.

That was why Blue Void told those who could not use it to use the Light of Lunia instead.

The Light of Lunia was a type of Grade One wandering energy from the God of Light and Fire's Divine Kingdom, the Heavenly Mountain. It had a special liveliness, so it could also suppress the Undead to a certain extent.

Brr…

A Wizard unleashed a ring of pale white forces. This was an Undead Detection Spell, and instantly, every place that the forces swept past began to glow with a dense concentration of many red dots.

Hiss…

When they saw how many red dots there were, the Wizards all began to take a sharp intake of breath.

“So many!!” Kevin had also seen the effect of the Undead Detection. This was a representation of the enemy proportional to the surrounding area, and the red dots indicated there were all the Undead surrounding the campsite.

At a glance, there were no fewer than several tens of thousands!

According to the two scouts just now, there seemed to be Advanced Undead among them as well. Now that would truly be troublesome.

Kevin stood with the team of Contractors. Although he was temporarily safe, his heart would still tremble whenever he thought about those countless red dots.

“Would all the Master Contractors please be prepared to summon your companions at any moment. If the situation turns dire, please summon the dragons as quickly as possible, in order to deal with the situation.” Blue Void's order came from the frontlines.

The dozen or so Contractors all stepped out and stood in a line, abreast, each of them preparing materials for their spells in their hands.

Kevin stood without moving. He was damned in moved, and damned if he did not.

“Let's get going, shall we? Master Kevin?” Gergenfor gave him a hard push from behind. Although he only pushed the Energy Field Rings on Kevin's Wizard, Kevin still felt a force that made him take several steps forward.

“Father… Are you okay?” Maria leaned on him, almost unable to hide the concern on her face. She was no fool, and as a rare genius Wizard, there was no way she would not have noticed how strange her father was acting. She merely chose not to mention it.

“What's with the push! I know that myself!” Kevin barked at Gergenfor in a deep voice. This bastard acted like he was watching a show, and he had always been looking at Maria so greedily throughout the whole journey.

“We're both Contractors, I'm just worried that you'll accidentally forget to summon your companion. The situation isn't looking very good right now, and if we don't have your very valuable contribution, that'll just be too bad,” said Gergenfor with a creepy smile.

Kevin saw two Contractor Wizards who stood further away whispering to each other, their taunting gazes glancing over at him occasionally as they spoke.

His heart grew calmer. Now that it had come to this, the more he panicked, the more he would reveal himself.

Right now, they were just suspicious, but they could not be certain. With so many preparations in place, perhaps this really might end before he had to summon his dragon, just like before.

Only the unknown could represent uncertainty and continue to instill a certain sense of fear in the other Contractors.

He held Maria's hand tightly, and Ice Orchid stood next to him as well. However, compared to the other female Wizards or Warriors who were following the other Contractors, she was regretting it deeply in her heart as well. She scolded herself for choosing such a Contractor to follow, but unfortunately, it had already been decided.

On the bright side, this Contractor did not ask her to pay with her body.

She had been prepared to do it, to use her body as a commodity. That was what she did to earn her right to learn in the past, it was what she did to obtain the tuition fees for the Arcane Art Academy and her research funding. Most impoverished female Wizards had such an experience or made such a decision. It was nothing special.

But to her surprise, Kevin never showed any such intention. That was her sole solace right now.

Boom!

All of a sudden, amidst a huge tide-like impact, the expressions of all the Wizards and Warriors, including Blue Void, changed.

From the darkness directly ahead of them, there were large hordes of Skeleton Soldiers surging into the plaza. Their numbers would not have been fewer than several thousands.

“They're coming!”

Blue Void tore open a scroll.

There was a soft tearing sound, and then a blinding ball of golden light blossomed in the air. The ball of light grew a pair of golden wings, and then it swung slightly, flying straight downward. It crashed into the area with the highest concentration of Skeletons.

Bam!!

Amidst the periodic explosions, the golden light scattered everywhere, and at least a hundred rays of golden light twisted and shot out like threads of silk. Every ray of golden light landed on a Skeleton Soldier and burned a huge hole through it.

This one attack wiped off many Skeleton Soldiers, at least a hundred at once.

The Wizards, who had been slightly shocked, received an instant psychological boost.

They all began to unleash the Holy Light Rays and Light of Lunia that they had been preparing. The Light of Lunia was like an ocean of pure silver, lighting up and shooting into the sky. It was accompanied with a few golden rays of the Light of Lunia, utilizing an energy element that was exactly the same as that golden ball of light that Blue Void just unleashed.

“A compound Level Five spell made from merging the Level Four Heavenly Kingdom Light with the Glittering Web, as expected of Master Blue Void. This scroll was surely the hard work and intricate masterpiece of a Level Seven Royal Great Wizard, wasn't it?” Two other Great Wizards levitating in the air sighed in sincere admiration.

Boom!

As soon as they spoke, the Skeleton Soldiers were completely obliterated by the sea of silver Holy Light, but they were followed by an even larger tide of pitch-black Zombies that rushed toward the campsite, staggering and tottering.

The area around these Zombies' bodies was filled with black smoke and the plague. If they were approached, it could lead to the spread of terrible diseases.

“Long-range wide-area attacks,” roared Blue Void loudly.

The second wave of silver light rose into the sky, and all the Wizards aside from the Contractors began to unleash the Light of Lunia once more. The wave of silver light was like a silver liquid being splashed out and falling over the Zombies' heads mercilessly.

There was the endless hiss of corrosion as the negative energy, the aura of death, and the plague constantly fought against the silver light. The two extreme types of energy canceled each other out and emitted a huge neutralized force. This began to disrupt the speed and strength of the Wizards' spellcasting.

A horde of black Zombies crashed to the ground, and only a few several dozens were left walking toward the campsite. By now, however, they were no longer a threat.

The battle was over without the Warriors even having to fight at close range. Everyone's hearts grew lighter, and they began to watch the Wizards as they easily cleaned up the remaining Undead.

“Just in case, would the Contractors please give the Warriors an Anti-Undead Energy Field?” Blue Void continued to lead. He was the only peak Level Six Warrior here, and he had just unleashed an advanced-level spell scroll, so it already took a great deal out of him. Right now, he seemed rather tired.

As soon as he spoke, another wave of deathly-pale Vampires dressed in grey clothes made of sackcloth actually appeared once more from the darkness before them. These all had deathly-pale skin and sharp fangs at the corners of their mouth. They leaped up, transforming into bats the size of human heads, and flew toward the campsite.

“The third round! There really are Advanced Undead!” said the Great Wizard beside Blue Void in a deep voice. “This is bad, Advanced Undead can constantly summon more cannon fodder from the Undead World, and wear us down endlessly!”

“We need to rush over there! I saw where these Undead are coming out from, it seems to be that one, the tallest statue in the plaza!” said another Great Wizard, panicked and hurried.

“Ae you sure, sir?” said Blue Void solemnly.

“Certain! For five consecutive tries, my Probing Spells have shown that that place is the core source of these Undead!” This Great Wizard waved his hand, unleashing golden rays that landed among the Vampires beneath him. The rays instantly hit two Vampires who were stacked on top of each other, and turned them into flying ash.

But almost a hundred Vampires flew and pounced at the campsite, even more and even faster.

Some Wizards hit them with the Light of Lunia, but it only made the skin of these large transformed bats rot, causing them to scream. It was not enough to kill them, so they continued to fly toward the campsite and high speeds.

Instantly, some of the Wizards started using the Fireball Spell.

The rumble of explosions and the firelight rushed into the sky. But they were rapidly extinguished by even more negative energy and could not sustain the combustion at all.

Broom!

Just then, the giant butcher statue in the middle of the plaza actually began to move slowly.

It gripped its giant broken-up cleaver, striding toward the campsite.

“Oh god! It's a Level Seven Advanced Undead!!” The old Wizard in the air was the first to notice what had happened, and he yelled out loudly in disbelief.

Before the crowd beneath him began to panic, Blue Void flew out, completely calm. The boots on his feet twinkled with Magical Flying Light, preventing him from falling.

“Leave it to me!”

He was as cool as a cucumber, raising the Level Six Demon Core in his hand high into the air.

“Andihilna!! Come! I need your assistance!!!” he yelled loudly, using the Ancient Draconic language. There were even a few words from the language of the Abyss mixed within.
