Chapter 843 363: Three-Way Operation
Dark swamp.
Even the blazing sun hanging in the sky could not dispel the darkness here.
Roaring along with the sound of bones twisting and cracking, closing in on them.
Alka and the others clustered together.
Unbeknownst to them, they were surrounded by the undead from the Life and Death Boundary.
Alka gazed at the undead creatures before him; each and every one of them was covered with moss and green leaves.
Fortunately, the strongest among these monsters was just a mossy creature akin to a gorilla at Fourth Stage.
A half-rotting face with exposed bones displayed before the group, with a nameless wildflower sprouting from the eye socket, the other half covered in weeds and moss.
The Silent Saintess did not intend to act, instead raising her hands to cast a thin layer of Holy Light Shield over the three of them.
The trio wasted no time; they charged at the surrounding monsters directly.
Jilenna drew her blade, infused with magic power, thorns tightly entwined around it.
A swing in the surroundings caused the plants on the monsters to grow rapidly, instead binding these undead in place, unable to move.
How did the Land of Spirits manage to ward off these plant undead from the Life and Death Boundary, despite the vast disparity in number and quality?
It was all thanks to their collective control over plants.
Although these undead were intertwined with life-giving plants, forming a contradictory amalgam.
Yet precisely because of this, they could be trapped by the plants that strengthened them.
With just a simple swing, a large portion of the undead monsters was restricted in movement by the growing plants on them.
Branches pierced through the gaps in their bones, wedging in between. Their movement became extremely difficult.
Some plant roots even burrowed through bone crevices, causing the already fragile skeletons to struggle to withstand, pulled down by the plants on them, reduced to their nourishment.
A beam of light constantly refracted among the undead mob.
Every point of refraction resulted in a monster being hit by an invisible force and scattering.
Facing that sole Fourth Stage.
A blue comet crashed down from mid-air.
Even though Alka did not employ great power, the gorilla was instantly reduced to a twisted pile of weeds.
Clearly, it lost the ability to move.
The trio continued their assault, not needing to consider whether the surrounding undead monsters could harm them.
Because the Holy Light Shield on them completely blocked those damages, and if the undead accidentally touched the shield, they would be scorched instead.
The overall operation was very relaxed and leisurely.
The first wave of crises encountered in the Life and Death Boundary was effortlessly resolved.
Watching the trio finish cleaning up, the Silent Saintess nodded slightly at them, signaling to quickly follow and leave.
Shortly after leaving the area, Alka sensed an angry roar from behind.
Along with a faint feeling of danger transmitted from afar.
The aura was like the cold wind piercing their bodies.
Luckily, they quickly departed after cleaning up.
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Julia joined the team.
Led by the merfolk Chana Liss, while another Fifth Stage merfolk paused at the boundary.
Part of the team waiting to assist them.
At this moment, they were not moving in the water; the team was carefully selected.
Besides the captain and Julia, both being merfolk, the remaining two Fourth Stage members were from the Holy Machine Church.
They were beneath the vine layer, advancing in the seawater towards their destination.
Chana Liss waved her emerald fish tail, releasing magic power.
Whether due to her special spell or her treasure's ability.
In the dim and turbid sea bottom, they were in an elliptical capsule-like blue seawater area.
This water even glimmered like glass, clear and transparent.
And the four of them were within it.
The two Holy Machine Church members used certain mechanical constructs on their faces to breathe underwater.
The Life and Death Boundary, even underwater in this death zone, was already corrupted by murky undead power.
While above the vine layer, due to the chaotic interaction created by vines and life power.
The underwater was almost entirely dominated and influenced by the power of the dead.
Julia flicked her fish tail, paused in the capsule, and gazed outside through the clear and transparent seawater.
The outside was not pitch black, nor was it filled with vibrant scenes.
It was merely countless deep-sea undead with decayed bodies, dry carcasses, and even skeletal, swimming around the blue capsule.
They were eager to break in and devour the living within.
However, their actions were evidently futile.
"Don't be afraid, these weak undead cannot come in, have a good rest here.
Though we are advancing underwater, our actions are somewhat blatant. Once we exit, we'll surely attract many enemies, and there will be a tough battle awaiting."
Chana Liss accelerated with the capsule formed by the blue water, proceeding forward, preparing everyone mentally.
