Chapter 51 Xia Fa, you call this a fireball?
As early as when the eerie skeletons that covered almost the entire wasteland began their extremely insidious offensive, Archbishop Glenn abandoned his rearguard duties and moved to the front of the column.
In fact, there was no need for any rearguard action; their rear was completely empty, and all the undead seemed to only want to block their advance.
At this moment, seeing that another warp-and-plunder ritual was about to take place, the terrifying fluctuations in the void once again permeated the crowd. Glenn suddenly drew his twin swords from his waist, which no longer bore the lion's roar family crest.
"Ethan hasn't recovered his strength yet, I'll go."
He left those words behind calmly, and then charged straight into the horde of skeletons!
Seeing Glenn taking such a risk, Xia Fa's gaze suddenly sharpened, ready to make a move at any moment.
To be honest, although Glenn's uncle had a haughty and arrogant attitude, he was still his uncle, not him. Xia Fa didn't dislike Glenn.
What's more, they've now become teammates fighting side by side.
But immediately, Xia Fa, who had been highly focused, relaxed and a very strange expression appeared on his face.
In an instant, Glenn burst forth with astonishing speed, traversing the ten-meter-wide open area and charging straight towards the ten giant jawed beasts that were huddled together, shaking their massive skeletal heads.
It seems that even this "warp-plunder" has a maximum distance limit, and only the group of undead closest to them will attempt to activate it.
Upon Glenn's arrival, the ten giant jawed beast skeletons continued their warp-and-plunder ritual with unwavering resolve.
However, in the empty eye sockets of the other giant jaw beast skeletons around them, a bloodthirsty and ferocious black light suddenly flashed.
Immediately, they all rushed towards Glenn!
But Glenn was not afraid at all and still charged towards the skeletons of the ten giant jawed beasts.
At that moment, the skeleton of a giant jawed beast behind Glenn suddenly swung its head and slammed it into his waist.
Unexpectedly, Glenn neither dodged nor avoided the collision, letting the man crash into him.
With a bang, Glenn was struck in the waist, but instead of showing any signs of injury, his speed exploded once more!
His figure almost became a blur as he charged directly toward the skeleton of a giant jawed beast not far ahead, with a blue gale surging around him.
Upon seeing the human prey arrive, the giant jawed beast skeleton opened its massive, nail-studded mouth without hesitation and lunged at Glenn.
Glenn used it as a springboard, instantly leaping onto its back at a speed too fast to see clearly. Then, he stomped his feet down!
Amidst the thunderous sound of the collapsing skeleton, Glenn's speed exploded for the third time, several times faster than the previous two times!
With this burst of speed, his figure rushed directly towards the ten giant jawed beast skeletons that were shaking their heads and performing a ritual!
call--!
A violent gust of wind quickly gathered around him as he charged forward, soon enveloping him in a hazy blue hue.
In the blink of an eye, Glenn had rushed to the center of the ceremony. He held the longsword in his left hand and in his right hand, twisting his waist sharply.
Spinning Slash!
This was a common move that every knight in the era of cold weapons knew, but in Glenn's hands, it unleashed incredible power.
Because, with this strike, the whirlwind that had been gathered from his three charges suddenly erupted and began to spin!
A massive tornado formed around him, with a diameter of over ten meters, instantly lifting the ten giant jaw beast skeletons along with the human-headed crocodile in the center into the sky!
The undead quickly disintegrated in the hurricane, their bones colliding and shattering. Glenn then took another step and, with incredible speed, burst out before the dense mass of giant jaw beast skeletons could surround him.
He traversed the ten-meter-wide open space in just a few steps and stopped in front of everyone.
Apart from Archbishop Chestnut, who was also a wolf-level superhuman, everyone else in the team was astonished by Glenn's move.
Decisive, skillful, and elegant, especially the final tornado, which possesses a kind of aristocratic and gorgeous beauty.
Only Xia Fa felt a strange, absurd feeling welling up inside him.
The forward stride, the hurricane that blew away the undead when he tested the spinning slash, and Glenn's fighting style that was both effortless and unrestrained...
Wait, what about that dense wall of wind he casually created when he blocked the blood and flesh splattered onto everyone as Braal exploded...?
All of this reminded Xia Fa of a character from a game in his past life...
"The first secret contract I signed was called the Weapon Emperor, which I purchased from our Church of Nature. The second secret contract was the Swordsman's Secret Contract, which enhanced my level as a swordsman, allowing me to easily rival world-class swordsmanship masters from the era of cold weapons. Of course, that's the kind without a signed secret contract."
Glenn suppressed the smugness on his face, looked at Xia Fa, and continued:
"As for my third and fourth contracts, they are the Speed Contract and the Wind Contract, respectively. I combined them to develop my unique fighting style. How about it, not bad?"
Xia Fa chuckled inwardly, but outwardly nodded in agreement:
"Yes, that's fantastic!"
Glenn laughed:
"You'll be safe fighting alongside me from now on, so why not consider joining our Natural Church?"
Xiafa: ...
Chestnut:……
So all that talk was just to poach someone else's partner, huh?
"Cough cough."
Within the floating eyeball, Tyrene coughed twice and said:
"Axel, shouldn't you do something about your nephew? Poaching my men right in front of me, what's going on?"
Axo?
Xia Fa felt even more puzzled. Glenn's demigod uncle was actually named Axo?
To be honest, his uncle should have swapped names with Glenn...
The vine-woven human head sighed helplessly:
"Glenn, you heard that too, can't you tone it down a bit? And why are you so obsessed with recruiting them—"
Before he could speak, the ground suddenly trembled not far ahead.
The tremor was far more intense than when the skeletons of the giant jawed beasts had crawled out before. Then, not far in front of them, the wasteland suddenly bulged up, as if some extremely large creature had awakened and was struggling to crawl to the ground.
"We...we've all been misled! These damned undead, their purpose isn't to conduct warp-in raids at all, but to cover up the awakening of the Jaw King!"
Lieutenant General Bedivet's furious voice came from the military telegraph machine. It was clear that this hot-tempered demigod was extremely angry and wished he could personally rush into this high-risk, elephant-level ghost domain.
Or perhaps he was reminded of the embarrassing experience of being lured away and trapped by a snow demon that had gone out of control twice.
The Giant Jaw Beast was merely an Insect-level monster. In fact, in this cave, which should have been an Eagle-level exploratory monster domain, Eagle-level monsters were rare; most were Insect-level monsters, including the human-beast crocodile.
However, the king of the giant jaw beasts... is a whale-level monster!
Putting everything else aside, this one whale-level monster alone could easily hunt down all the superhumans present!
There was no need for the demigods to give any further instructions; everyone used their own methods to attack the bulging ground that resembled a small hill.
Ethan waved his hands, and fireballs the size of watermelons flew out and slammed into the ground.
Glenn then waved his hand, and many of the scattered skeletons on the ground were swept up by the gale and plunged into the hill.
But it was no use. That was the king of whale-level giant jaw beasts. This attack was nothing more than a tickle to it!
Following Chestnut's eye signal, Finsney once again made an "O" shape with her hands and aimed them at her.
Chestnut stepped forward from the crowd, her pretty face full of determination and resolve, as if she was about to make a move.
A sigh came from Tyrene's eyes, as if he had foreseen something.
But he didn't stop her, because if his granddaughter didn't risk her life to do it herself, everyone present would die.
Taking action actually offers a glimmer of hope.
Just then, Xia Fa suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Ban Li.
Chestnut paused slightly, her face full of surprise:
"Xia Fa, you..."
Xia's tone was calm, yet it was filled with an undeniable authority:
"This is a whale-level anomaly; you can't handle it. I'll try using a fireball."
Fireball?
How do you kill a whale-level monster with a fireball spell?
Everyone was stunned, and for a moment they didn't even realize the meaning behind Xia Fa's words.
But immediately, Xia Fa spread his palm out and lifted it into the air.
An extremely dazzling light emerged from the sky above the giant jaw beast king that was about to break through the ground.
The light was so intense and dazzling that it made people think they had arrived on the ground.
Everyone was stunned. Even the eyeballs above their heads, the military telegraph machine, and the human head entwined with vines froze for a moment.
All eyes, including those of the demigods who gained their vision through these three treasures, were fixed on the sky above the King of the Giant Jaw Beasts.
Glenn's eyes were glazed over, and his voice, filled with disbelief, was forced out from between shouts:
"Shafa, you...you call this a fireball?"
