Chapter 415: The Art of Battle

Messiah blocked the entrance to hell, and the Undead Army automatically began to form into a military style.

Even without a heroic leader, it seemed to be an instinct, like a part of a rule.

Looking at it this way, Karoso and the others seemed like they were being surrounded.

Messiah had not expected that beneath her forest, there was a hidden entrance to the underground world.

She had done a thorough investigation back then; how could she have missed it?

"Oh no, I’m only at the seventh tier!" Tom pressed his hands to his temples, looking terrified. "What should we do now?"

"Teacher, Death Knight!" Karoso spoke decisively.

『』 and Karoso both threw out a card at the same time.

[Name: Grave Guardian]

[Category: Spell]

[Star Level: 4]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Occupational Restriction: Death Knight]

[Description: Uses four corpses to summon two zombies that can taunt and have the ability to revive.]

To revive means to come back to life after dying. Although their health is very low, and they can die with just one touch, when paired with the taunt ability, they become a valuable tool, at least buying some time against enemies.

Normally, finding corpses might be a bit troublesome, but here in the graveyard, there are plenty.

Buzz!

A wave of green energy spread in front of Karoso and the others, and four zombies, radiating a plague-like aura, blocked the way behind them.

Karoso and 『』 gave instructions to the zombies, which surrounded Karoso and the others, wrapping them in the scent of the plague.

Smelling the disgusting odor, 『』 almost threw up.

"This thing…" 『』 covered her nose.

"I’m used to it," Teresa pointed her large sword at Messiah.

"Hmph, is this all you’ve got? Four useless magical creations can’t protect you," Messiah sneered. "When my army arrives, it will be your end. Oh, maybe I won’t even need my army."

"Teresa, disperse the cards!" Karoso said firmly.

Although Teresa didn’t know why, Karoso clearly knew this dungeon better; even the large sword she had summoned with so much magic and one chance was easily dispelled by her.

Seeing that Teresa had dispersed her weapon card, Karoso threw out another card.

[Name: Concealment]

[Type: Spell]

[Star Level: 6]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Occupational Restriction: Thief]

[Description: Blurs your aura, up to five people]

Teresa and the others are not using Equipment Cards, nor are they casting spells; the six-star card is completely sufficient.

Buzz!

A cloud of black mist envelops Karoso and the others.

Messiah had not even waited for a response when she saw the spirits all looking at her.

Messiah was full of questions, wondering why they were looking at her when the living were closer to them. This hidden presence was not invisibility…

In an instant, Messiah’s expression changed; she knew the reason!

Damn it, these guys did not summon the zombies to fight. They used them to hide their life force and blend into the spirits!

Wait, how did these two use spells from so many different classes? Especially since many of the spells conflict, like a Death Knight and a Paladin coexisting, or a Rogue and a Warrior together. Have they never died from their training?

It could be said that Karoso and 『』’s fighting style completely overturned Messiah’s understanding of this era.

In Messiah’s mind, only an all-powerful god could do everything.

Humans and elves, if they want to go further, should focus more.

Theoretically, for people like Karoso to train in this way, the chance of survival is less than one in ten thousand; only gods like the Goddess of the Night make it to the end.

Now it was time for battle, and there was no time for Messiah to think carefully.

Snap, snap…

Many skeleton archers quickly formed a line and shot arrows at Messiah.

The skeleton archers were a lower level, not as powerful as the elf archers, and there were not many of them.

But they were very annoying.

Messiah waved her magic wand, and a green storm spread around her.

Ding, ding, ding…

The arrows from the skeleton archers were knocked down.

Skeletons, zombies, and ghosts all charged towards Messiah at the same time.

The ghost charged the fastest, wildly tearing at Messiah’s storm wall.

Messiah’s pretty face turned pale; if there were a few more of these, her magic might really be torn apart, which is the terrible thing about the sea of people tactic.

These monsters can concentrate their attacks on a single point, and it is not random where that point is; whoever hits it will focus there, unless they avoid all the monsters’ attacks.

Buzz!

Messiah used the Blade of Leaves!

Countless green leaves shot out from the storm.

"Arooo!"

Three or four fifth-tier ghosts howled, and each invisible creature was struck by the tangible leaves.

The highest-level monster here is only fifth-tier, and Messiah can easily deal with them.

But Karoso and the others are not helpless.

With the undead soldiers leading the way, Karoso summoned his own set of armor.

[Name: Broken Undead Battle Armor]

[Category: Equipment]

[Star Level: 1]

[Grade: Blue Rare]

[Occupational Restriction: Death Knight]

[Description: When five pieces of equipment are combined, they can unleash powerful strength.]

Well, this power means it can challenge a second-tier opponent as if it were first-tier…

This magic and attribute enhancement might not be as fast as Karoso’s meditation for a few minutes.

But at this moment, this thing is unexpectedly useful!

Suddenly, rusty iron armor, a helmet, pants, boots, and a cloak covered Karoso, completely hiding his presence.

Karoso quickly moved ahead, passing by the charging skeleton warriors, skeleton soldiers, and three types of zombies, right in front of Messiah.

Buzz!

A flash of red light appeared in Karoso’s eyes, as red lines appeared all over the magical wall that was torn by ghosts and shot by undead archers.

Karoso summoned his weapon: [Name: Ancient Dust Revolver].

Bang!

After one shot, Messiah felt that her magic was a bit slow to work.

Her face changed, and she could no longer maintain the magic.

Buzz…

The storm vanished into thin air.

Karoso discovered that after leaving the forest, Messiah’s magic lost much of its power!

Perhaps this is why these forces want to defeat their enemies but do not want to leave their territory to attack.

Messiah wanted to use spiritual magic to control Karoso, but the undead rushed towards her.

Moreover, when she used spiritual magic, it was hard to control other kinds of magic.

If she cast magic on the person in front of her, the others would likely attack her.

"Hmph, I’ll play with you next time," Messiah said before trying to return to the ground.

She turned her head and was completely stunned.

But she saw 『』 standing behind her, holding a stick and smiling faintly.
