On the spires of the castle not far away, a group of bats were already flapping their wings. From afar, they looked like a storm that charged into the sky.
It looked very awe-inspiring. It was as if the castle was a place that could not be stepped into.
As the bat storm rose, sharp sounds appeared in the surroundings.
Pierce and Vivier used their divine power to create a protective barrier.
As for the Undead Archangel, there was no need for this. After all, he did not feel any pain.
At this moment, Zenus, who had already become a vampire, slowly moved away from the two teammates filled with holy light. It was too difficult. If he got too close, he would be purified.
There was no way for Zenus to get close to Pierce.
Many contestants covered their ears in pain.
This sharp sound was too stimulating to their nerves, making many of the timid contestants’ legs turn weak from fear.
However, this did not weaken their will. After all, each person was an elite contestant selected from their team. Naturally, they had their own strengths.
After all, no one would give the future of their country to three idiots.
Pierce looked at the distant castle and was thinking about something when he suddenly heard a voice.
“A bunch of pretentious things. We’re all in the same boat now. If we want to obtain the rewards, we have to team up and do our best!”
“That’s right, that’s right. Agreed!”
“Damn, these sharp sounds are too ear-piercing!”
“I suggest that everyone charge into the castle first. As for the final boss, whoever is lucky will get it!”
“…”
As the first person spoke, the others also began to discuss spiritedly, expressing their opinions.
No one wanted to give up halfway and surrender, since they would not really die here.
Thinking of this characteristic, the fear in everyone’s eyes turned into a burning desire for power.
That’s right, they were immortal here. What was there to be afraid of?
Slowly, the crowd began to walk forward. Everyone consciously followed behind.
It was not a good thing to be in a stalemate here. They might as well advance. After all, they would not really die.
As the group advanced, Pierce slowly followed behind them.
The group got closer and closer to the castle. After stepping on a winding path, everyone finally saw the full appearance of the castle hidden in the mountains.
It was an ancient building that was over ten meters tall. The patterns and decorations were similar to that of the castles of the West.
As everyone slowly advanced, the bats in the sky seemed to have discovered them and charged down.
The bats brought with them a piercing sound and a storm that covered the sky.
Pierce wanted to see what kind of power these people had to fight off the bats.
He still did not make a move. After all, he wanted to see their current strength. After all, everyone here was an elite of their team.
As the bats charged, the contestants also took out their weapons.
Based on what Pierce had seen so far, there was a longsword, spear, or lances that had been enhanced by the elemental energy stones. There were also bows.
Pierce couldn’t help but frown. At this point, he understood the difference between him and these participants was huge.
The powerful vampire took charge of leading these people.
Zenus looked at the bats charging at him and slowly smiled.
These bats were at most level 2 creatures, not to mention that he had the vampire bloodline of bats.
Coincidentally, his bloodline was the leader of these bats. He could also control the actions of these bats through his bloodline.
However, when he slowly tried to connect to the bats, his eyes suddenly widened and turned pale.
Zenus had already tested the possibility of communicating with bats long ago, and it had been easily accomplished.
But this time, he did not expect that these bats would not be controlled by him. Instead, they dealt a heavy blow to his spirit.
“Is their leader also a vampire?”
This was the only guess Zenus could think of. Other than that, he had no idea at all.
The bats were getting closer and closer. The contestants waved their weapons at the bats.
The bats were unable to withstand a single blow from the elemental weapons. Soon, the corpses of the bats scattered on the black ground.
However, no matter how miserable their deaths were, the quantity of these huge bats was still not something these participants could resist.
Their number was far higher than all the participants here.
At this moment, a voice suddenly shouted from the crowd.
“Damn it, I wonder if Big Boss Pierce is here!”
“F*ck, if Big Boss Pierce were here, these bats would have long become corpses.”
“Don’t think about it, don’t think about it. Hurry up and fight back!”
Pierce, who was hiding in the crowd, heard the discussion and slowly smiled.
It seemed like his strength was clear to all, and had even become a legend.
Pierce had already witnessed the full strength of this group of people. Then, he asked the Undead Archangel to prepare to attack.
The Undead Archangel nodded at Pierce’s command.
The hooded Archangel slowly clenched his fist and a black spear emitting a thick death aura appeared beside him.
The aura emanating from the spear now was different from before. It had been holy and powerful, but now it was filled with a thick aura of death. Pierce was surprised at the density of the death aura.
