Dozens of figures shrouded in black mist surged from the abyss, with Stefan surprisingly leading the pack.
He was seen stepping onto a bone-white warship, trailed by four coffins that radiated a terrifying aura.
“Emperor Lantz, you’re quite crafty… However…” Stefan’s flashed a sinister smile. “You’ve fallen into a trap!”
Stefan had never paid much attention to Jared. He always felt that the biggest threat came from Corrado.
The ruler of Twilight Imperial City, the third most powerful force in Ethereal Realm, was obviously a threat. Corrado’s strength was considerable, which made Stefan somewhat wary.
At that moment, however, after enduring two major battles, Corrado was already a spent force.
“You despicable fellow! Compared to your father, apart from showing off, you really fall short of him!” Corrado glared at Stefan, his face seething with anger.
“Whatever you say now, it’s already too late…” Stefan wore a cold smirk on his face.
He then swung his bone cane, and the four coffins burst open with a thunderous sound.
The overwhelming marked aura surged toward the heavens as four armored corpses slowly rose. Their hollow eye sockets flickered with a ghostly green magmas.
“Lethal Zombies?” Corrado’s pupils contracted. “How dare Four Hell Palace summon ancient Lethal Zombies?”
“Hahaha! Emperor Lantz, you’ve got quite the eye.” Stefan pointed his scepter at Jared. “Today, not only will Twilight Imperial City be annihilated, but Jared, this young fellow, is going to die as well! I‘m going to teach a lesson. I’m the only one allowed to show off in Ethereal Realm!”
Suddenly, four Lethal Zombies shot out, their passage through the void leaving a trail of frost in their wake.
Corrado’s aura flared around like a blazing sun, yet, the moment it came into contact with the Lethal Zombies, It was suppressed by a third.
What was even more terrifying was that each Lethal Zombie was sealed with hundreds of vengeful spirits. The piercing shrieks caused everyone in the midst of the fight to wince in pain instantly.
Jared struggled to his feet, Divine Bow in his hands humming incessantly. However, when tried to draw the bowstring, a sudden intense pain surged through his chest.
Jared kneeled on one knee, his face as pale as a sheet, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
The consequences of recklessly using Divine Bow had surfaced. If such a divine weapon was not wielded properly, it could backfire.
At that moment, though Jared had his Divine Bow in hand, struggled to unleash its power due to the turmoil of spiritual energy within him.
He gritted his teeth, attempting to forcefully channel his spiritual energy. However, this only resulted in a tumultuous sensation in his chest, almost causing to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Upon seeing the situation, Corrado felt a knot in his stomach, and his attention was involuntarily drawn toward Jared.
Right then, a Lethal Zombie seized the opportunity. It swung its withered arm, emanating a ghostly green glow, and fiercely struck at Corrado.
Corrado swiftly sidestepped, but was still grazed by the chilling force. His clothes instantly frosted over, and his skin started to show a hint of purple and blue.
“Hmph! Emperor Lantz, today marks your end!” Stefan stood atop the skeletal warship, his victorious laughter piercing the air.
The bone cane in his hand waved with increasing urgency, directing the four fiends of the underworld and dozens of skeletal warriors, enveloping Corrado and Jared in an impenetrable circle.
Corrado drew a deep breath, and his aura, powered by Twilight Rainbow Technique, surged once more. He was attempting to break through the layers of entrapment surrounding him.
He swiftly formed seals with both hands. Behind him, the radiant glow of nine golden sun illusory shadows intensified.
Each golden sun released a resounding cry. Their fiery aura was akin to the surging waves of the sea, relentlessly crashing against the surrounding marked aura, wave after wave.
“Twilight Rotation! Cosmos Tremor!” With a thunderous roar, Corrado unleashed a surge of boundless masculine energy.
A golden beam of light shot into the sky, instantly enveloping a Lethal Zombie with its radiance.
The Lethal Zombie let out a painful roar amidst the scorching heat, and its armor began to melt away. The vengeful spirits sealed within it also started to break free from their shackles, dissolving into nothingness under the fierce sunlight.
However, as Corrado was momentarily weakened, having exhausted his old strength and his new strength yet to emerge, the other three Lethal Zombies seized the opportunity to launch an attack all at once.
In their hands, they wielded black spears, bone blades, and iron chains, each carrying a frosty energy. From every direction, they lunged toward Corrado.
Corrado’s gaze hardened, his figure flickering like a phantom, skillfully dodging attacks amidst the perilous situation.
While Corrado was distracting the majority of the enemies, Jared, despite the intense pain coursing through his body, sat cross-legged, focusing on his quick recovery.
He channeled all his energy into his Focus Technique, fervently absorbing the surrounding marked aura. That not only aided his own recovery but also helped alleviate some of Corrado’s pressure.
