Gu Xi hadn’t even finished grumbling in his heart when the sound of wings flapping came from the sky.

Gu Xi looked up and saw a large number of oddly-shaped stone gargoyles swooping down from the sky.

These stone gargoyles were also simplified versions.

When they spread their wings, they were only the size of an A4 paper, and the wings were thin enough to be used as kites.

Although their bodies were made of stone, they resembled skeletons more than monkeys.

The stone gargoyles had been reduced to the bare minimum; only the head was somewhat intact, the hands were nothing but claws, the legs were completely gone, leaving just a tail for the lower half.

However, when they flew, they didn’t wobble at all, but instead, they would lock onto their target and dash directly at the enemy because they didn’t have enough energy.

Gu Xi was their locked target.

In the eyes of these stone gargoyles, Gu Xi stood so prominently on the Soul Summoning Tower, who else would they attack if not him?

But they hadn’t thought that when Gu Xi saw them flying over, the expression on his face was one of sheer joy.

He even suppressed the urge to rush out with the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon, raising his Cold Wind Staff, pointing at the sky.

Magic Divine Arrow!

For three months, Gu Xi had been practicing various spells diligently.

Magic Divine Arrow, Bone Spike, Secondary Bone Shield, and the like had been improved to quite high levels.

But Gu Xi still felt there was little time, as he hadn’t practiced these spells to perfection.

Faced with such a great opportunity now, Gu Xi certainly wouldn’t let it pass.

With a raise of his hand, he cast Magic Divine Arrow.

At a level 7 Magic Divine Arrow, he could release 21 missiles in one go.

Under the effect of the Cold Wind Staff, all the magic missiles appeared to be long swords made of ice, with flames hidden inside.

After flying out, the Magic Divine Arrow automatically locked onto a stone gargoyle and hit it precisely.

After killing the stone gargoyle, the Magic Divine Arrow didn’t stop.

Having leveled it up several times, the Magic Divine Arrow not only increased the number of missiles but also their penetration ability.

Now, each missile that Gu Xi released could penetrate three enemies before disappearing.

During practice before, Gu Xi hadn’t noticed much.

Now the situation was different.

After the flying sword pierced one stone gargoyle, it continued forward, and only after killing three stone gargoyles did it explode.

The explosion wasn’t powerful, but it was deadly for these stone gargoyles.

Several stone gargoyles were blown up in the explosion.

The stone gargoyles that weren’t killed were also affected, with the cold qi clinging to them, causing some to crash to the ground and shatter into pieces.

It could be said that each of Gu Xi’s Magic Divine Arrows killed at least ten stone gargoyles.

With 21 Magic Divine Arrows, quite a few stone gargoyles in the sky were cleared.

Seeing this, Gu Xi immediately switched tactics.

"Bone Spike!"

Unlike the Magic Divine Arrow, the leveled-up Bone Spike didn’t increase much in quantity but became thicker and larger.

Seven Bone Spikes shot out with a sharp whistling, flying in a formation of three at the front and four at the back, sweeping everything nearby like a tornado.

This single move wiped out at least another sixty stone gargoyles in the sky.

Only then did the stone gargoyles realize that although Gu Xi was standing alone on the Soul Summoning Tower, he wasn’t a weakling but a powerful demon.

However, as golem-type beings, the stone gargoyles were unaffected by morale.

At least in this world, they weren’t affected by morale.

Even after realizing that Gu Xi was a formidable opponent, they still charged at him, disregarding life and death.

"Such good soldiers, why would they appear in such a troublesome world?"

Seeing the stone gargoyles rushing towards him, Gu Xi couldn’t help but sigh.

At the same time, his hands continued to cast various spells into the sky without pause.

The Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon, shrouded in black mist, circled in front of the Soul Summoning Tower, as if wanting to join the fray but not wanting to spoil Gu Xi’s enjoyment.

As more stone gargoyles perished, the horde in the sky became thinner and thinner.

No longer could Gu Xi easily decimate a hundred or two hundred stone gargoyles with a single spell.

Losing interest, Gu Xi raised his hand and let the Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon step forward to deal with the remaining enemies.

He then took the opportunity to start summoning souls.

This time, the Book of the Box of Fate and Blood Feast Book did not move at all.

Clearly, they were not required for this task.

While Gu Xi wasn’t solely using the corpses to create an undead-type insect swarm, after glancing at several transformation options, he pointed to a page in the Book of Deceit.

[Soul Summoning successful, you received 937 White Paper Soldiers, gained 937 experience for the Soul Summoning Skill, and gained 937 experience for the Book of Deceit.]

[White Paper Soldiers (Level 8, Summoned Creatures): Experience (0/1000), Attack 13, Defense 6, Life 35, Skills: Evasion Mastery, Cutting Enhancement, Ritual Basics]

As this information popped up, the nearby stone gargoyles seemed to be stripped of their skin, layer by layer turning into sheets of white paper.

Then the white paper automatically folded in front of Gu Xi, forming a group of tall and thin white paper people.

These paper people had no facial features, and their bodies were as thin as sheets of paper, appearing quite eerie as they stood there.

As if a gust of wind could blow them away.

But Gu Xi could sense that the edges of the White Paper Soldiers were as sharp as blades, and if they moved sideways, they might slice through large logs.

However, Gu Xi noticed that the combat power of these White Paper Soldiers wasn’t the main point.

The key was that they could be the foundation for various bizarre rituals.

After all, many strange rituals required paper people guardians.

As for why Gu Xi knew about certain strange rituals?

Did they really think his Ritual Magic was learned in vain? His Ritual Magic level was already at level 7.

He could design some simple Ritual Magic himself, so knowing some strange rituals was natural.

Thus, when Gu Xi chose to transform the stone gargoyles, he opted for White Paper Soldiers.

After all, they could both fight and serve as ritual materials, serving multiple purposes.

Once the White Paper Soldiers were summoned, the battle with the Mechanical Centipede in the distance seemed to be over.

Taking advantage of the Soul Summoning Tower’s influence, Gu Xi cast his gaze on that battlefield.
