Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 565 - 504: Death and Death

Bathed in the golden light emitted by the Sky Golden Bridge.

On the ground, a group of undead creatures resembling skeletons, engulfed in a black aura, are pursuing a troop ahead of them.

The golden holy light shines on these undead creatures with black aura, having no effect at all, and even providing them with enhancement.

Holiness and evil intertwined.

A scene of colluding evil.

But such a nauseating scene in this dungeon has long become routine for people.

And among the troop being pursued ahead,

a group of light cavalry on warhorses is at the rear. Their equipment is somewhat worn and varied, and their weapons somewhat damaged.

Yet they still cover the rear for the entire troop.

Because ahead of them are not soldiers or people with combat skills, but a group of women and children.

These people are unarmed civilians, not only humans but also various non-human alien races, or one might say sub-humans.

They are rushing forward, heads down.

"Mom, I can't keep running!" a little girl with long ears said.

The woman pulling her along heard her daughter's words behind her, immediately picked her up and continued to run frantically; however, this inevitably slowed her down.

Gradually, she came to the end of the troop.

A soldier shouted at her, "What are you doing? Run quickly, those skeletons in the back are catching up."

Although the soldier shouted like this, he also slowed down, guarding behind the woman.

And the woman just ran frantically, gasping desperately, her entire face turning bright red.

It seemed she was reaching her limit.

Yet those catching-up skeletons in the back showed no mercy, raising their weapons engulfed in black aura to slash down.

"Damn it, let's fight!"

The soldier slowing his steps behind the mother and daughter gritted his teeth, wielding his nicked longsword to slash at the skeletons catching up behind.

Two comrades nearest to him saw him stop and also turned around to follow.

The remaining soldiers continued to escort the civilians to escape.

"Hold on a little bit longer, everyone, we're almost there."

A soldier, seemingly a captain, shouted loudly to boost the morale of his subordinates and the civilians around him.

"Get over here, you rotten bones!"

The soldier who stayed behind beheaded a skeleton using his shortsword, then punched another skeleton charging from the side.

However, more skeletons with black flames surrounded them from the rear.

A bone sword burning with black fire slashed his shoulder.

"Ah! Damn it."

He clenched his teeth. By now, he was fighting desperately, knowing he wouldn't survive, using his other arm to fiercely strike the skull of the skeleton in front of him.

The fire on the ancient sword slashing his shoulder quickly spread across his body, turning him into a figure engulfed in black flames.

Yet even so, he continued to fight.

The two comrades who had stayed with him also fell into the flames.

Meanwhile, the woman whom they saved, holding her daughter, finally collapsed on the ground, exhausted.

She forcefully pushed her daughter from her embrace: "Run! Little Radish, run!"

"Mom! Mom, I'm scared!" Her daughter was too scared to move, standing there crying.

It seemed impossible for her to run away alone.

And a skeleton already caught up, raising its weapon high, black flames burning, ready to consume life.

Slashing down forcefully towards her.

She could only protect her daughter under her, closing her eyes tightly, waiting for death to come.

The expected pain didn't come.

The woman, a bit panicked, opened her eyes, her daughter in her arms hadn't closed them either, speaking.

"Mom, look, it's a really amazing big sister!"

Just then, the skeleton that wanted to attack them was pierced through and nailed to the ground by a long spear.

The black-and-white flames on the long spear furiously assaulted the black flames.

The black flames were crazily devoured, without any resistance, as if meeting a natural predator.

And the skeleton horde chasing after them was scattered entirely by a group of half-human, half-horse cavalry.

These knights, donned in heavy armor, wielding giant lances, were engulfed in black-and-white flames all over, like ghostly apparitions of flame.

They wore thick helmets, only the eye area aflame with emerald fire.

Among them, the most striking was a long-haired girl wearing a crown.

Her horse's hooves stomped the ground forcefully, causing the earth to crack rapidly, and black-and-white flames erupted from the crevices, engulfing all the skeletons.

She wielded a giant war axe, sweeping it around with force.

The surrounding skeletons shattered like brittle bones, their black flames extinguished by the sheer power.

The mother and daughter, struck with awe, suddenly saw an arm extend towards them.

She looked up.

A revolutionary army soldier, dressed like those who had protected them, removed the mask covering his mouth.

"Are you alright? You're safe now."

Then the soldier looked at the mother and daughter, shifting his gaze to the ravaging cavalry among the skeletons, and the dazzling female warrior.

"Very impressive, right? Just like a Valkyrie," the soldier also looked over and said.

Her words made the mother and daughter nod.

Kreya used the long-handled battleaxe in her hand to shatter the last skeleton burning with black flames.

The battleaxe in her hand disappeared without a trace, and her entire body retreated from the ghost form burning with black and white flames, returning to a normal state.

The 30 ghost cavalry that had been fighting around her also vanished.

Looking at the scattered bones around, they did not dissipate like in other dungeons, but remained scattered on the ground.

Then she reached out and pulled the chain around her neck, drawing out the magic stone from her chest.

At this moment, the blank magic stone was completely filled with silver energy.

Seeing this, Kreya smiled and then carefully placed the silver magic stone into her space equipment.

Then she took out a transparent one and placed it there again.

Putting the magic stone back into her bosom, she walked towards the large troop not far away.

There, many resistance forces were checking on the refugees, treating those who were injured.

Seeing Kreya coming over, the outer resistance members immediately stood up straight and saluted.

"Lady Kreya!"

At this moment, a revolutionary army soldier riding a warhorse rushed over quickly from a distance.

Stopping beside Kreya, he said, "Lady Kreya, more of the Black Flame Legion is surrounding us."

Upon hearing this, Kreya immediately shouted loudly, "Prepare to organize these civilians to continue retreating, follow me, we're going to lure them away!"

Upon hearing Kreya's words, the revolutionary soldiers on horseback around her immediately nodded, "Yes!"

They immediately organized their formation and ran in the direction the enemy was encircling, following Kreya.

Not far from their run, Kreya stopped, looking into the distance.

From afar, a large army was rushing towards them, with the lead being those skeletons burning with black flames.

The rest included pure black knights clad in black heavy armor with black mist seeping through the gaps.

And there were giant beasts made up of various bones.

Beside Kreya, the 30 ghost knights reappeared.

But this time, these ghost knights were dressed in light armor, holding throwing spears in their hands.

The revolutionary army soldiers behind them also held similar throwing spears.

"Attack!"

The command was issued.

Then Kreya and the surrounding ghost knights simultaneously launched the spears in their hands.

The revolutionary army soldiers followed immediately.

The spears whistled through the air, piercing into the enemy ranks.

A figure resembling a general immediately noticed the direction of the attack and then spotted Kreya.

"It's that four-legged alien woman! Everyone, attack, take her down quickly!"

Following his orders, the entire unit started turning and charging towards Kreya's direction.

And Kreya and her men's objective was achieved, leading these soldiers in a chase.

After who knows how long, Kreya and her men emerged from a patch of withered woods.

Just emerging, Kreya felt a vibration coming from her ruby lapel pin.

Recognizing the person sending the message, Kreya smiled, then turned to the revolutionary army soldiers behind her and said.

"You can go back first, I'll wander around here."

The soldiers didn't question it, immediately nodding.

"Yes!"

"Then Lady Kreya, we'll leave first, stay safe!"

After saying this, the group of revolutionary army soldiers ran towards the resistance camp not far away.

Once they disappeared from Kreya's sight, she finally connected to Kane's transmission.

"Hello? Can you hear me, Kreya?"

Hearing Kane's voice, Kreya had a sweet smile on her face.

"I can hear you, Kane, is there something up?"

At this time, Kane had just emerged from the guild hall, having sent Mo Yi out and the person delivering the intel that knocked at his door off.

He was lying on Cotton Candy, smiling and saying, "I just heard from Adoma in the guild hall that you haven't entered the guild hall these past few days, wanted to ask if something happened?" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Because entering the guild hall required absolute safety, and not entering it for days suggested that Kreya might have encountered something.

So after coming out, Kane immediately messaged Kreya to check on her situation.

From the ruby lapel pin came Kreya's voice.

"I have been battling with the Black Monarch's forces recently, so I haven't been in a safe region."

"Can you handle it? Do you need help?"

"No, the situation is still under control, don't worry."

Hearing Kreya's words, Kane was relieved and replied, "Alright then, be safe. If you reach a safe area and can enter the guild hall, remember to let me know first, I miss you."

"Mm."

Hearing Kreya's soft hum, Kane had a bright smile on his face, "Alright, then. Hanging up."

On the other side, Kreya's ears were slightly red.

What's with this? Why am I still getting shy? Kane's last words just hit the spot.

Kreya thought.
