Chapter 384 Departure, Abyss of Fiends!!
Chapter 384 Departure, Abyss of Fiends!!
Who in this world is not afraid of death? Those who are willing to sacrifice themselves have simply overcome their fear of death.
Everyone has the right to live, but also the option to die. Whether choosing to die or choose to live, there is no clear distinction between greatness and insignificance; what matters is that they understand what they are protecting.
The operation began quickly, just as Han Ji and his team had planned. Tens of thousands of people gathered at a small gate on the east side of the North Gate.
The tightly closed small door slowly opened, and a super-rank mage dressed in a mage's uniform rushed out from the golden barrier. Purple lightning surged continuously on his body, and the violent lightning power instantly annihilated most of the undead outside the small door.
As soon as the high-level mage cleared a clear area, a legion of guard mages rushed out, stepping over the broken bones and rotting flesh of the undead, and continuously casting spells into the undead army to relieve the pressure on the high-level mage.
Multicolored magical light broke through the death aura of the undead, barely managing to shine through the black horde of corpses.
After the Guardian Mage Legion cleared enough space, a crowd of tens of thousands of people rushed out of the safety barrier and stood on the open ground that the Guardian Mage Legion had just cleared.
Before long, the living aura emanating from this group of people caused the nearby undead to completely boil over. A dark mass of undead could be seen surging toward the open space outside the small door, with some greedy undead even stepping on the heads of their companions to rush toward the small door.
At the foot of the city wall at the North Gate, Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and the others felt extremely heavy-hearted after witnessing this scene. The girls closed their eyes because they could not bear the bloody scene that followed, while Zhu Meng, Du Xiao, Shi Zheng, Li Yujian, and the others also looked rather grim.
"Once we successfully pass through this undead area, the guardian mages will cover their retreat through the small gate. Many will die, but it will be mostly mages. This time, the main purpose is to use the living aura emanating from them to lure away some of the undead," the mysterious gray-haired man said.
Just as the mysterious gray-white man said, as the crowd continued to pour out of the small gate, the thick undead army in front of the north gate did indeed disperse considerably. As long as they moved forward fast enough, they could quickly advance one kilometer.
"All members of the Sha Yuan team, prepare."
"Vanguard team, move out!!"
As Han Ji's voice echoed across the North Gate from the city wall, a large number of mages leaped down from the top. Four super-level mages flapped their magnificent wings, their bodies radiating dazzling magical starlight, and the undead fell one after another like wheat being harvested.
In an instant, the undead within a radius of four or five hundred meters were cleared out. The countless layers of rotting corpses, skeletons, and ghosts were destroyed by the super-level mage, with many leaving not even a trace of their remains.
Four high-level mages led the way, followed by a large number of guard mages.
Countless fire-elemental guardian mages unleashed magic that turned the entire night sky fiery red, and a torrential rain of flames fell, each flame the size of a fist, the scorching heat instantly evaporating the rain.
Layer upon layer of fiery rain fell, trapping many undead in the sea of fire, which they could not break through no matter how hard they tried.
"Go!" Zhu Meng shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, dozens of guard mages dressed in purple formed a square formation to protect Mo Fan, Fang Gu, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo and others. On the outer perimeter were super-level mages such as Du Xiao, Shi Zheng, and Li Yujian.
As for He Yu, Zhou Min, and the others, they followed Jiang Han at the forefront, responsible for clearing out the undead trying to break through the fire wall. Once they reached a place several miles outside the city wall, Zhou Min, He Yu, Mu Bai, and the others would be the first to retreat.
Many of the Guardian Mages have their constellations glowing brightly, and the interlocking magical constellations are constantly gathering elemental energy from the surrounding area.
The wind mage was the first to make a move. As the entire team was enveloped by the wind constellation, azure winds swirled around the team, fueling the fire and instantly forcing the approaching undead army back.
On the path parted by the fiery waves, the charred undead were torn to shreds and scattered across the sky after colliding with the blue hurricane.
Jiang Han and his group flew four or five hundred meters in the blink of an eye, leaving the inner city wall behind, as if riding a wind-blown boat.
However, at a distance of four or five hundred meters, the number of skeletons suddenly increased. The white skeletons were like powerful machines, charging towards the team while withstanding the wall of fire. At the same time, the speed at which Zhou Min, He Yu, Mu Bai, and the others cleared the undead was greatly reduced.
"Mu Bai, you take Zhou Min and the others and get out of here. I'll take care of the rest of the way," Jiang Han called out to Mu Bai beside him.
Mu Bai raised his hand and used the Ice Lock to deal with the skeleton soldiers rushing onto the road. Then he glanced at the bone general in the skeleton army. He knew that staying here would only hold Jiang Han and the others back, so he agreed to Jiang Han's suggestion and led Zhou Min, He Yu and the others to retreat first.
Mu Bai and his companions could handle the ordinary skeleton soldiers, but the deeper they went, the stronger the skeletons became, especially those bone generals whose bones had been tempered with yin energy for many years. Their bones were as hard as iron and radiated a cold, chilling light!
"Giggle giggle!!"
Just as Jiang Han was speaking, several more skeletons broke through the fire wall. The leader was a bone general wielding a long bone sword. Jiang Han didn't want to waste time on these guys, so he directly summoned the Bone Lizard Demon, the Undead Giant Lizard, and the Undead Lizard Skull Giant from the dimensional space.
