Chapter 788: Chapter 158 Luring the Snake out of Its Hole

The ship carrying the synthetic humans brought the people of The Azure Longsword to the vicinity of the Gibraltar Fortress.

The fortress was situated on a protruding long island, which lies to the south of the Iberian Peninsula, very close to the strait connecting the diterranean with the Atlantis Ocean.

At the sa ti, the strait itself also served as the key hub connecting the South Continent and the Iberian Peninsula, with a never-ending stream of ships crisscrossing north to south to transport supplies. Should a ship attempt to cross from east to west through the strait, it was highly likely to be imdiately detected by the ghost fleets patrolling nearby.

Therefore, it was imperative to destroy the Gibraltar Fortress and sever this supply route.

For the people from The Azure Longsword, it ant that the gateway to the Atlantis Ocean was wide open, offering unobstructed passage. For the Church Court, it undoubtedly ant severing the Iberian Peninsula’s undead army from their holand, thus completely turning the tides of war in their favor.

In a certain sense, the Gibraltar Fortress was the “Normandy” of this war, the “beachhead” that the human faction had to seize.

From a distance, the group could see endless plus of black smoke billowing up from above the Gibraltar Fortress, rging into the overcast clouds shrouding the sky.

The anchor point of the Dark Sky.

Under normal circumstances, Aske would likely have sent Peggy or Minerva to infiltrate and gather intelligence about the city first.

However, tis had changed. Boasting the solid foundation of two demigods, the luxurious configuration of super supre laws of death war, in addition to a consciousness and thodology of professional combat far surpassing the standards of this world, if two of them couldn’t survive the onslaught of six demigods, they might as well find a nearby body of water and drown themselves.

The space-based missile had been launched about an hour ago, and there were nearly 3 minutes remaining before it reached the ground… to be precise, 3 minutes and 27 seconds.

Aske stood alone outside, checked the ti once more, then looked towards the Gibraltar Fortress in silence, and deactivated his “Ambush” skill.

He was now exposed to the undead.

The entire Gibraltar Fortress was imdiately alerted, and countless undead sward out like a torrent rushing in his direction.

The main force was the Black Knights wearing rotten power armor, mostly Centurions of Solomon from the Third and Fourth Epochs whose running trembled the very ground.

Nurous mbers of the Blood Clan weaved through the Knight surge, flitting unpredictably like phantoms; banshees whirled and shrieked overhead, while even higher flew corpse-eating vultures, from which Corpse Witches wielded magic wands firing down spears of virulent poison.

Aske: ……

Fleeing in my first battle as a demigod, actually, I didn’t want this, but the enemy is simply too nurous!

He had even detected those sneaky beings hiding within the undead army—one, two, three… a total of three demigods, pretending to be re mbers of the Blood Clan, Black Knights, and Corpse Witches as they accelerated towards him.

Too cunning!

Without hesitation, Aske turned and activated his conceptual weapon, pulling out a rocket projectile that was in mid-flight from the skies.

Rocket Flight thod!

Cradling the rocket in his left hand, he surged forward. With his right hand, he drew out his longsword and struck mightily behind him.

The Banshee Demigod suddenly materialized less than two ters behind him, her law domain erupting violently, about to devour Aske within it.

At the sa ti, the longsword took advantage of the brief mont before the domain closed and swiftly passed through the gap, stabbing into the shoulder of the Banshee Demigod.

Star Nine Forms. Break Law!

As the Seventh Style that could only be utilized at the demigod rank, Break Law was far stronger than the Fifth Style, Soul Shattering. The latter would render the enemy’s extraordinary abilities ineffective, whereas the forr was…

Silence Sealing!

The banshee demigod’s sharp hands were still thrusting towards him, suddenly her figure began to fall downwards. Star Nine Forms. Break Law sealed her banshee bloodline, making her lose all the sequential abilities of her banshee bloodline for a period of ti, including invisibility and flight!

She crashed heavily to the ground, her translucent face contorting in agony, screaming:

“Sealing! My bloodline ability has been sealed!”

The Corpse Witch Demigod, perched on a vulture, had already leapt from the air. His tattered cloak fluttered behind his withered fra like a parachute, cleverly manipulating the air flow around him to dive straight towards Aske, while extending his magic wand mid-air to create a gigantic bone shield.

“Watch out for his sword!” The banshee demigod, rising from the ground, shouted again.

Before her words had faded, Aske’s left hand had already reached out towards the bone shield, and in an instant, it contorted and flipped back, transforming into a set of bone shackles, binding the Corpse Witch Demigod’s neck and hands.

Corpse Witch Demigod: ???

Wait, my law skills, why have they suddenly gone out of control?

He quickly unfolded his own domain, and in an instant, it enveloped him. Under the erosion of his domain, the uncontrollable bone shackles again broke apart into countless fragnts then recoiled towards Aske, turning into sharp, thin bone spurs in the air!

Aske canceled the summoning of the missile, his figure plumting sharply, then conjured a new rocket. This rise and fall allowed him to perfectly dodge the dense barrage of bone spurs, while he aid his longsword at the Corpse Witch above and forcefully hurled it.

Although the Corpse Witch Demigod was in the air, unable to leverage himself, he suddenly conceptualized his body, turning into a pale stream of light, then reappeared several ters away, neatly dodging the throw of the longsword.

Then, as the thrown longsword passed through the opened domain of the Corpse Witch Demigod, a shattering noise erupted from that spot, as if a glass window had been punctured by a bullet in an instant, with web-like cracks swiftly spreading, until finally the entire domain burst apart violently, and the Corpse Witch Demigod, incredulously, began to plumt downward.

My domain… has been shattered?

Such an absurd thought flashed through his mind, and the Corpse Witch Demigod felt a pain as if his spiritual body was being torn, rushing from the depths of his heart.

The tearing of his own domain had inflicted great damage on his sanity.

Seeing that both the banshee demigod and the Corpse Witch Demigod had been severely injured one after another, the demigod among the Black Knights also felt so fear, and couldn’t help but slow down his charge.

“Keep going!” The Corpse Witch Demigod, enduring a headache, shouted, “Such moves also take a toll on his spirituality! He can’t use them many tis!”

This statent wasn’t wrong. After using the last three forms of the Star Nine Forms consecutively twice, Aske had nearly depleted two-thirds of his spirituality. Now, he could only silently keep summoning missiles, relying on relay flight to widen the distance between him and the three Demigod Undead Spirits.

Seeing that the other side was not unleashing more powerful attacks, the Black Knight Demigod proceeded cautiously, while directing a large number of Black Knights to cover his charge towards the target.

The originally injured Corpse Witch Demigod and banshee demigod quickly began body conceptualization.

In a conceptualized state, their bodily injuries and negative statuses would be translated into conceptual deficiencies, and as long as they were within their extended domain, the concepts that ford their bodies could receive continuous replenishnt from the laws.

In other words, no matter how severe the injury a demigod sustained, as long as they activated both body conceptualization and domain extension, they could replenish it by consuming spirituality. In a sense, demigods’ spirituality and life force had rged into one, what is referred to as the “integration of energy and health.”

On another level, if they continued to release powerful moves, the excessive consumption of spirituality also ant that their life points beca extrely scarce. Therefore, what demigods feared the most was being collectively attacked by peers of the sa rank. It was like using one’s own spirituality to contend against the combined spirituality of several demigods, creating a considerably high risk of falling.

Therefore, after quickly consuming spirituality to stabilize their condition, the Corpse Witch and banshee demigods exchanged glances and suddenly ca to a mutual decision.

As long as they could catch up, relying on the cooperative power of three demigods, there was a high probability of killing that human demigod!
