The wind and snow howled ever more violently, the cold wind mixed with ice grains like a maddened wild beast rampaging and roaring across the wasteland, lashing so hard people couldn’t even open their eyes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The Spiritual Energy radiance of over a hundred Mages suddenly burst forth in the wind and snow like sparks breaking through the darkness, in an instant lighting up the sky that had been shrouded by snow bats.

Thick Purple lightning tore through the clouds, carrying a sizzling electric crackle as it precisely cleaved into the dense snow bat swarm, instantly roasting a swathe of them to char; scorched flesh and blood pattered down.

Countless cyan Wind Blades condensed into form, like spinning blades, densely interweaving into a great net that slashed toward the sky. The snow bats’ wings were easily cut open; losing balance, they let out sharp screams, dropping like kites with their strings cut and crashing into the frozen ground with dull thuds.

Other Mages condensed sharp ice lances; the ice blades shot out like a torrential storm, piercing through the bodies of the snow bats and nailing them into the snow and ice.

The roar of Spiritual Ability Magic, the wails of the snow bats, and the howling of the wind and snow wove together. The black bat-cloud that had blotted out the sky was instantly torn open with gap after gap, great numbers of snow bats plummeting like dumplings into a pot, their previously ferocious diving charge forcibly suppressed.

On the ground, a dense layer of snow bat corpses quickly formed; some still twitched faintly, soon to be buried under the falling snow.

Just as the Mage squad locked down the snow bats in the air, the ground assault horn had already sounded!

Xiong gripped his blood-colored giant axe with both hands, Spiritual Energy surging around him; he was like a berserk primordial Giant Beast, taking the lead with heavy strides, each step making the frozen earth violently tremble.

As the giant axe swept, it stirred a howling gust; before he even closed in, several Frostmen charging at the very front were blown staggering in all directions.

Terreda followed close behind, the Zhanshou saber in his hand gleaming with a cold light, a dense Qi and Blood halo swirling around him.

He and Xiong, one left and one right, were like two sharpest arrowheads, ramming straight into the beast tide.

Three thousand soldiers followed close behind the two, forming a sharp wedge formation.

The Barbarian Race shield-bearers held the front, spearmen followed closely behind, saber-and-axe wielders split to either side, and the other Warriors were within the formation, howling and roaring, morale soaring to the heavens.

On both flanks were the soldiers of First Battalion and Second Battalion; they gripped their Weapons tight, Spiritual Energy protecting their bodies, eyes burning with blazing battle intent.

From high above, this unit looked like a steel cone whose entire body shimmered with cold light, driving forward with unstoppable momentum, thrusting straight into the sky-covering Snow Beast tide!

"Kill—!"

The earth-shaking roar tore through the wind and snow, completely igniting the Warriors’ fighting spirit.

The impact of the wedge formation was terrifying; the shield-bearers at the foremost slammed hard into a towering Frostman, the massive impact sending it staggering back. The spearmen right behind seized the opening, several spears stabbing out in a chain like venomous snakes, in an instant perforating the Frostman like a sieve; the torrential Qi Blood Power shattered its ice core, and that massive body collapsed with a crash.

Xiong’s giant axe was unstoppable; with one chop he cleaved a Tier Six snow lion clean in half, hot blood splashing onto the snow and instantly melting small pits into it.

Terreda’s Zhanshou saber was peerlessly sharp; every swing precisely struck a Snow Beast’s vital point. The ice lizards’ Ice Armor under his Great Saber was like thin paper, easily split open.

The Snow Beast tide was caught completely off guard by this sudden charge, but their numbers were overwhelming after all; they quickly reacted, hurling themselves madly at the wedge formation.

The Frostmen swung massive fists down onto the shields, the ice lizards spewed ice lances at the soldiers, and the snow lions circled around to flank, trying to tear open the formation’s sides.

The wind and snow grew ever more violent, the Snow Beast encirclement tightening like an iron hoop, binding the wedge formation fast.

The Frostmen’s heavy fists kept pounding against the shields with dull booms, numbing the shield-bearers’ tiger mouths in the front rank; the ice lizards’ ice lances lashed down like a torrential storm. Many soldiers failed to dodge in time, their armor pierced by the lances, forcing them back several steps, Qi and Blood surging; the snow lions gnawed and tore crazily at the formation’s flanks, trying to rip open a breach.

The regiment’s charging momentum visibly slowed, their advance growing ever more sluggish; every step forward came at a considerable price. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

At this critical moment, two figures in the sky suddenly moved!

Karsas hovered in midair, his slender, jointed fingers gently opening the ancient Soul Scripture; as the pages turned, a bone-chilling deathly aura instantly spread out.

"Arise!"

With his hoarse low shout, eerie green light flared on the pages of the Soul Scripture; countless Ghost Souls glowing green surged out from between the leaves like Evil Ghosts breaking free of a cage, letting out shrill screams.

These Ghost Souls were all Soul Bodies and Soul fragments Karsas had harvested in battle after battle. After years of nurturing within the Soul Scripture, they had long since become Death Soul Soldiers of absolute obedience.

Their numbers were vast as they swarmed toward the Snow Beast horde. Some pounced on the Snow Beasts like starving wolves, using phantom claws to madly tear at their bodies; others hovered in midair, spewing eerie green Soul Shock from their mouths. Wherever the invisible waves swept, the Snow Beasts howled in agony, their movements turning sluggish and dull, their eyes growing vacant.

The previously tight encirclement assault was instantly thrown into chaos by this sudden tide of Soul Army.

The Snow Beasts were forced to divert a large portion of their attention to deal with the Ghost Souls around them, and the pressure on the wedge formation dropped sharply.

Almost at the same time Karsas moved, Kazik moved as well!
