Chapter 2696 Escape
The attacks of the Holy Paladins were ineffective, and they were forced to stay in place, constantly being stuck by a large number of Lickers and struggling to shake them off.
Fang Heng controlled the Bone Dragon, perched high in the sky, observing the battle. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After the dimensional energy was enhanced, all attributes of the Licker group greatly increased.
Even facing the Holy Realm Knights, they were enough to give them a run for their money!
Then, let's continue!
Fang Heng drew all the pursuers from the Holy Realm over in one wave!
More and more Lickers emerged from the magic array, surrounding the Holy Court team from all directions.
Under Fang Heng's control, the Lickers became even harder to deal with, and they began to bypass and head towards the Holy Realm priest team and the local Holy Court team from the Black Rain World behind the Holy Court team.
They picked on the weak!
"Block them!"
The Holy Court camp grew increasingly alarmed.
With the rapid increase in the number of Lickers, the entire Holy Court team began to feel a sense of helplessness.
There were too many!
The Holy Realm arbitrator team continued to unleash explosive skills, blasting large groups of Lickers away.
The number of Lickers was slowly being depleted, but the consumption rate was far slower than their reproduction.
The battle lasted no more than five minutes, and soon the Licker group had broken through the Holy Paladins guarding the outer layer of the Holy Realm team from the right flank and had fully penetrated into the regional archbishop's team.
Compared to the Holy Realm team, the strength of the archbishop's subordinates was much weaker.
They quickly fell under the attack of the Lickers.
Fang Heng's mind stirred, and he looked up toward the sky not far away.
It's here!
The Divine Descent!
The dark clouds were torn open, and a massive gap appeared, with dark golden light piercing through the darkness!
Under the direct illumination of the light, large numbers of Lickers erupted in black fog, instantly losing their ability to attack, writhing, and struggling on the ground.
Fang Heng watched from afar.
It wasn't Orkney.
But his strength was no less than Orkney's!
He also could weaken the Lickers.
Goodbye.
I'll leave first!
Taking advantage of the incomplete Divine Descent, Fang Heng quickly controlled the Bone Dragon to escape into the distance.
Below, the regional archbishop saw Fang Heng riding the Bone Dragon fleeing, but at this point, it was too late to catch up.
As the light continued to shine, Holy Realm Holy Light instructor Gustav, accompanied by five large teams, descended.
"Welcome, Holy Light Instructor."
Upon seeing this, the Holy Court group immediately knelt on one knee in the direction of the Holy Light.
The Holy Realm took Fang Heng's actions very seriously, worried that he had set up something in Dark City. For safety's sake, they sent a large number of reinforcements, even with a Holy Light instructor personally leading the team.
"Rise."
Gustav looked around, slowly spreading his arms and clasping his hands together in front of him.
Divine Holy Seal!
Buzz!
The Holy Light once again radiated rapidly from Gustav, expanding in all directions!
Large groups of Lickers around were trapped in place, unable to move under the influence of the divine holy light.
Any Lickers that continued to surge forward and entered the range of the divine holy seal immediately fell into the divine binding state.
The Holy Court team accompanying Gustav immediately concentrated their fire and began clearing the bound Lickers.
It seemed that the remaining Lickers, who were unaffected by the binding, quickly fled the battlefield.
"No need to chase."
Gustav waved his hand.
"Teacher, we just saw Fang Heng appear on the battlefield, but he had already left before your descent."
"Mm, I can't sense his aura. He must have escaped," Gustav replied, turning his gaze toward Dark City. "I sense the aura of death there."
Regional Bishop Everett respectfully bowed and reported, "That is Dark City. We suspect that the undead have set up something there. We've tried to enter and investigate several times, but each time we've been blocked by the undead. Thankfully, you were able to come to help."
"Mm, let's go take a look."
The Holy Court team quickly cleared the skeletal creatures outside Dark City and moved deeper into the city.
At that moment, the entire Dark Clan had already retreated to the death realm through the teleportation passage.
The players, led by the instructors, had also retreated from Dark City ahead of time, hiding in a nearby corner to secretly observe.
As the Holy Court team cleared the remaining dark forces trying to resist along the way, they entered the black market area of Dark City.
Gustav stopped at the entrance to the black market, sensing the aura leaking from within.
"It's the aura of the death realm."
"The concentration of the aura has dissipated significantly compared to before."
Archbishop Everett glanced at the cave below the black market and said, "It seems the undead have already evacuated."
As he spoke, two Templar Knights escorted a middle-aged man before the group.
"Teacher, we found this man while cleaning the city. Someone reported that he is the deputy City Lord of Dark City."
Gustav turned his cold gaze toward the gaunt man and said, "Tell us everything you know."
The deputy City Lord's legs gave way, and he immediately knelt, begging for mercy and kowtowing profusely.
"I don't know! Around noon, someone said strange people appeared here. Then, the necromancers took over. When I arrived, I saw that the necromancers had forcibly taken control. Their power was too strong, and the City Lord didn't dare offend them. After that..."
"Afterward, I heard that the undead aura came from the ghost market. I thought it was the undead causing trouble there. Before I could investigate further, you all arrived..."
Gustav continued, "Has there ever been something like this in the ghost market before?"
"The ghost market has existed since Dark City was established. There was never any undead aura before. The undead were rarely seen in Dark City. I inquired, and those two undead experts arrived this morning."
"Did you see them? Did you notice what they did in the ghost market?"
"I heard about it and secretly watched from outside. They set up a magic array inside, which had a very strong undead aura. We didn't dare get too close, so we couldn't see clearly."
Gustav condensed a mark in front of him.
Gentle holy power emerged, quickly dispersing the mist inside the ghost market cave.
"Lead the way. Show us where the undead aura is leaking."
The deputy City Lord, with a stiffened resolve, led the group into the ghost market cave.
The interior of the cave was spacious but not very deep.
Soon, the deputy City Lord led them to the farthest edge of the cave.
Three black stone pillars stood oddly there.
"This is the place. They set up the magic array here."
"Nothing else?"
The deputy City Lord shook his head repeatedly, "No, that's all! I swear, I swear on the Holy Light!"
The group exchanged looks.
Strange.
Was this what the undead had been desperately guarding all along?
