Chapter 705 - 690: Skeleton Sea
The cheers echoed through the sky of the city; this was a festival belonging to the Demons, with almost the entire city’s Demons participating in the event.
This led to the city falling into an unprecedented lull, with only a meager force left to guard the city, posing no real threat.
However, considering from another angle, countless Demons were gathered in the city, with an unknown number of Gold-tier powerhouses among them. The participants had different factions backing them, making this festival an indisputable opportunity for those so-called big shots to amass wealth. Thus, even if there were some friction among several factions before, no one would make the rash move today.
This mindset focused everyone’s attention on the arena.
Yet...
There are always unexpected events in this world.
While the Demons were still immersed in the fervor of battle, in the distance, several dense white silhouettes began to advance toward them.
Those white silhouettes were like an endless ocean, making it impossible for anyone or any creature to count how terrifyingly abundant it was!
It’s bone!
These figures were all Skeleton Warriors!
The city was near the Bone Plain. However, those Undead powerhouses were slumberers; as long as they were not provoked, the Undead usually conducted their research within their territory and would not lay claim to the surrounding lands. Because of this, the city did not maintain a strong defense against them.
But today, everything clearly exceeded all of the Demons’ understandings.
The staggering number of Skeleton Warriors gathered, making it look like a white sea from afar, making the Demons feel like mere pebbles in the ocean, so insignificant!
The Demon Warriors stationed on both sides of the city sensed something peculiar and quickly conveyed what they saw. Instantly, the city resounded with the horn of an enemy attack.
The Demon Guards looked upon the scene in front of them with little anxiety in their eyes, for the city was now teeming with countless Demons. As long as the rescue was timely, the fragile skeletons would be unable to break through the city!
Before the Demons could finish their thoughts, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. Following this, a Death Knight riding a giant nightmare beast charged out of the Skeleton Sea!
The nightmare beneath the Death Knight surged forward with explosive power from its four limbs, and the chaotic will on its body burst forth instantly, swiftly reaching the Demons’ defense. It leaped, grabbing a Timid Demon’s mouth with irresistible force, instantly tearing the divided mouth organs and bursting out blood!
"Roar!"
Once covered in blood, the Death Knight became even more savage and brutal. With a roar, a visible ripple seemed to tear through the space, causing the low-tier Demons nearby to explode one after another!
Golden Tier!
This was a Death Knight with Gold-level strength, and its power was so vigorous that it seemed it might soon advance to legendary status!
In a blink of an eye, a visible red blood mist enveloped the vicinity, with Demons roaring, howling, and writhing, issuing shrill cries, while the Death Knight bore an imperial demeanor, roaring endlessly, echoing to the skies. Even the spectators at the venue vaguely heard some of it, so that they all looked around with peculiar expressions.

"All warriors!"
Vlad focused energy in his throat, amplifying his voice several dozen times, roaring across the battlefield: "We have not failed; as long as we kill these corpses and pitiful skeletons, victory will be ours!"
"Look at those warriors fighting bravely in blood; if we’re truly grateful for their sacrifices, we should unleash our courage!"
"These disgusting skeletons have brought such dire loss to the city; we must make them pay, they are our enemies, and these guys dare to invade our homeland, will we agree to this? No! We absolutely won’t agree!"
Vlad’s voice, like a wave formed from thunder, quickly spread across the battlefield.
All the Demons went mad, their blood boiling completely, each one slaughtering with full force, clashing fiercely against the overwhelming Skeleton Sea!
Everything happened too suddenly!
Vlad was just hosting an unprecedented Death Arena, and this time, the gains were enough to make him a true legend. Therefore, he paid unprecedented attention to this event!
Yet, who could have imagined, just when eight Gold-level powerhouses were down to three, the alarm suddenly sounded above the city!
Initially, Vlad thought he was hearing things wrong, but after listening carefully, he had to admit it was indeed the alarm, signifying that his city was under attack?!
"How is this possible?"
Vlad felt as though he was dreaming, unable to comprehend what kind of people would invade the city. As he was full of doubts and checked outside, a more terrifying scene appeared.
The city had actually been overtaken!
And the invaders turned out to be a group of Skeleton Warriors with soul-shimmering eyes, stacked one upon another. Even though their strength wasn’t as great as the city’s Demon Guards, their overwhelming numbers were their advantage. Often dozens, even hundreds, attacked a single Demon Guard, and under such horrible entanglement, the city fell, with countless Skeleton Warriors flooding into the city.
"Who is it?"
"Who on earth?"
Vlad felt like the veins on his forehead were about to burst; he simply couldn’t imagine that a group of skeletons slumbering underground had breached his city!
Skeleton Warriors have no self-awareness, which means a mysterious shadow must lie behind this invasion!
"No one can destroy my city!"
Vlad’s eyes were bloodshot as he watched it all unfold. At this crucial moment, he made an important decision: to use the city’s resources as motivation for the Demons!
Vlad was a smart Kobold; he knew that compared to wealth, life and the city were the most important. Even if he lost the resources to advance this time, he could accumulate enough wealth over time to gain advancement!
As long as the city stands, as long as the Death Arena stands, Vlad has the hope of rising again!
Thus, for this faithless Kobold, who had treacherously caused his former leader’s demise, he wagered everything, with the sole purpose of winning this battle!
