After sighing, George deliberately explained when he saw that the Vengeful Wraith were not in a hurry to attack, “It’s only one kind of Vengeful Wraith that breed on corpses. There’s also another saying that Vengeful Wraith can reproduce and have the nature of a race. Their bodies are agile, and their Endowed Supernatural Ability is poison. The person that they catch will likely be infected with an unknown disease. The poison will corrode all their organs. They are extremely dangerous monsters. An adult Vengeful Wraith has the strength of a Supernal Rank., There will be at least one Vengeful Wraith’s leader in a race who has stepped into the Earth Rank.”
He paused for a moment, and then said helplessly, “The weakness is still unknown.”
He was only at the peak of Supernal Rank. The monster had an Earth Rank Vengeful Wraith’s leader even if he knew their weakness. Such a gap could not be surpassed.
The monster could use the earth’s aura to fuse with its soul once it was an Earth Rank monster. It would have an endless stream of power as long as it stepped on the earth, and it would not be tired even if it fought continuously. Furthermore, an Earth Rank could fuse its Endowed Supernatural Ability with its body in the battle.
For example, Mr. George could fuse the Ice Field Snow Wolf into his body and obtain a strange power once he stepped into the Earth Rank. He could still use the Ice Field Snow Wolf to perform Ice Category attacks even if it was not an elemental Endowed Supernatural Ability.
His strength would undergo an earth-shaking change once he stepped into the Earth Rank. It was not something that a Supernal Rank could imagine.
Killing a Supernal Rank would be as easy as killing a chicken.
However, it was extremely difficult to reach the Earth Rank. Even the Human Alliance would give the one that had become an Earth Rank expert preferential treatments. Some large organizations would spend a lot of money to hire them, but such a threshold had stopped many people.
Mr. George had already reached the peak of Supernal Rank five years ago, but he was still unable to fuse the aura of the earth with his soul.
“Woo!”
The howls of the Ice Field snow Wolf rang out.
The Vengeful Wraith shrunk the encirclement, getting closer and closer to William and George.
The Ice Field Snow Wolf’s left forelimb had been scratched by the Vengeful Wraith, and it had been dragging on without treatment. Its limb had already turned black, and it could not exert any strength on it. The wolf could only use its other three legs to support itself and leaving its left forelimb hanging.
George also noticed this situation and raised his hand to pat the Ice Field Snow Wolf’s neck.
“Old friend, you’ve worked hard. If you can survive this time, I’ll find you a beautiful female wolf.”
The Snow Wolf rolled its eyes at him and exhaled heavily from its nose. A stream of cold air gushed out, and its right hind leg forcefully dug into the ground.
Following that, the huge Ice Field Snow Wolf charged forward into the group of Vengeful Wraith. It raised its forelimb and fiercely swung it, sending one of the Vengeful Wraith flying away.
Then, it opened its mouth, and a cold aura gushed out. The stones on the ground were covered with a layer of frost and snow, causing the movements of the Vengeful Wraith to slow down.
“Follow me closely!”
George quickly instructed William before charging towards the Ice Field Snow Wolf. He clenched his fists, and white spiritual energy flickered between his fists. Then, he punched the Vengeful Wraiths each with a punch.
One of the Vengeful Wraith ambushed from the side. George stabbed it with both of his hands and pierced through the belly of the Vengeful Wraith. Then, he tore it apart ruthlessly and tore the Vengeful Wraith into halves before throwing it out.
“Ah!”
The Vengeful Wraiths let out ear-piercing sounds. The enraged Vengeful Wraith charged at George and the Ice Field Snow Wolf all at once. It was difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. Soon, the bodies of both the man and the wolf were covered with Vengeful Wraith. They opened their mouths, their fangs which were laced with poison, and bit hard on George’s shoulders and arms.
The hundreds and thousands of Vengeful Wraith did not let go of William either.
William did not circulate his spiritual energy while facing these Vengeful Wraiths that pounced on him. Instead, he relied on the powerful strength and flexibility of his body to dodge the attacks. Then, he swung his fists and legs, and the Vengeful Wraiths that were hit instantly exploded.
Gradually, the Vengeful Wraith also realized the difficulty of dealing with William. They gave up on George and the Ice Field Snow Wolf and pounced on William.
George was not clear about what happened after that. He just saw that the Vengeful Wraith had left him. He felt dizzy just as he was about to see what these Vengeful Wraith were doing. That was the result of the poison seeping into him.
The Ice Field Snow Wolf had already fainted on the ground, with its eyes rolled and its body twitching.
George’s body went limp bit by bit, and he endured the discomfort. He looked back and saw countless Vengeful Wraith pouncing on William, covering him up before he fell to the ground. The next second, George fainted.
William let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that scene.
He had been hesitating whether he should expose his ability in front of Mr. George.
That was his greatest secret, and also his greatest trump card. Mr. George knew about his Endowed Supernatural Ability, the Lizard Bloodline. How would it be possible for it to become so powerful in an instant?
Now that Mr. George had fainted, it was just the right time to try out the ability brought about by his Ancient Dragon God Bloodline.
Countless Vengeful Wraith pounced on William’s body, opening their mouths to bite him. However, their sharp teeth met with obstruction this time, and they couldn’t pierce into William’s body no matter how hard they tried.
William only felt that these Vengeful Wraiths’ teeth and claws were like tickling tickles.
“It’s my turn!”
The moment he finished speaking, the Fire Elements gathered in his mouth like a huge fire burning in the mountain forest had been endlessly suppressed to the limit of the size of a thumb, and within it was a sparkling and translucent flame light.
“Dragon Breath!”
The flame gushed out. The Vengeful Wraith would even cry out and turn into ashes wherever the flames passed. The flame dispersed the darkness, making it incomparably dazzling.
Sparks flew, reflecting the tall figure that was like a god of war. William’s expression was indifferent, and his eyes were as imposing as hell, comparable to the gods.

The Vengeful Wraith retreated quickly. However, the range of the Dragon Breath was extremely wide. The Dragon Breath caught up with them before they could escape far, and they were instantly turned into ashes.
William roughly estimated that the Dragon Breath was the most powerful within thirty meters. It began to gradually weaken after thirty-five meters distance. The Vengeful Wraiths that were infected by the Dragon Breath fifty meters away were only seriously injured.
He deliberately controlled it so that the Dragon Breath would not spread to Mr. George’s side.
Suddenly, a sense of danger came from behind.
William felt an intense pain on the back of his neck before he could react.
“Crack!”
William gulped and stopped his Dragon Breath instantly. His body leaned forward uncontrollably. William rolled forward and pulled away from the monster that suddenly attacked him from behind with the help of that force.
A monster that looked like a human but was green all over, and its pupils were emitting green light was observing William.
That Vengeful Wraith was calmer than the other Vengeful Wraith. Its eyes were observing William, but it was not in a hurry to make a move.
William observed the monster too. That Vengeful Wraith gave him the feeling that it had a high rank. Perhaps it was an Earth Rank Vengeful Wraith’s leader.
Fortunately, the other Vengeful Wraith had seen William’s strength and did not dare to approach him that moment.
William took some time to look back. George was lying on the ground. There were many claw marks on his body. Blood was seeping out from his wound along with some green blood. That was poison.
The situation was not good. There was no time to waste.
