Chapter 315: Powerful Reinforcements

At the border, in an unknown location on the Dragonspine Snow Mountain.

Nightingale panted as she shook the bloodstains from her platinum-tier dagger. Sweat dripped down her lovely neck, dampening her attire.

Thousands of Silver-moon Demonic Wolves’ corpses fell beside her, as well as the bones of several Moon-eating Sky Wolves. There seemed to be an endless supply of those magical beasts. Every time she killed one, more magical beasts would appear, including the Moon-eating Sky Wolf; it was as if she had to face the fear in her heart repeatedly.

“Miss Nightingale, are you alright?”

The three people behind her did not look too good either. They were only at the peak of the gold tier. Even though they had a lot of Watson’s knowledge in their mind, which made them peak gold-tier elites, they still could not withstand the never-ending run-in with the magical beasts. Plus, their clones were watching the battle from the sidelines.

“I’m fine.”

Nightingale wiped the sweat off her forehead and pretended to be calm.

She was not fine. The clones had not made a move, but the wolves led by the Moon-eating Sky Wolf had made her very miserable. She could not fight against the Moon-eating Sky Wolf at gold-tier, but she had advanced to platinum-tier. She was also part of the angel race and had mastered Watson’s magic. Her strength had increased by a hundred times, but the enemies she faced were also a hundred times stronger.

She was no longer afraid of the Moon-eating Sky Wolf. She was only a little tired and worried about Watson.

‘The enemies here are already so terrifying. I wonder how Young Master Watson is doing?’

If it were possible, Nightingale desired to eliminate all foes in front of her to hurry to Watson’s aid.

“It is unsurprising that for hundreds of years, only the sword saint had passed the challenge on the 100th floor. It is difficult for an ordinary individual to stand up against such a terrible army of magical beasts.”

Clyde could not stop himself from sighing, a tinge of regret visible on his features. If they had understood how difficult the trial would be, they would not have gone with Nightingale. They were quite likely to perish there.

“If only Young Master Watson’s trial could end quickly. He is not with us, and we don’t know where he is now. However, with his ability, it should not be difficult to pass that trial. If he passes the trial, I hope he can come here to help us—these magical beasts are nothing to him.”

Annie immediately followed suit, waving her magic staff and casting the gold-tier Firewall spell to repel the few silver-moon demonic wolves that attacked them.

She had a lot of faith in Watson. His accomplishments during the last few days instilled in her a sense of power.

“Young Master Watson will come. We need to hold on until then.” Nightingale comforted everyone. As she spoke, their clones suddenly moved.

It was the Curse of Delay.

First, Leon’s clone cast a layer of curse on each of them to slow them down. Then, Leon cast the God’s Blessing spell on the other clones. “A blessing of courage! The command of speed! A blessing of strength...”

A series of lights flashed. Nightingale’s doppelganger led the clones as they rushed forward. The dagger in the clone’s hand drew a beautiful arc, cutting through the air. At the same time, a chaos-elemental Law of Domain appeared beneath her feet. The power corroded the ground into a trench dozens of meters long.

Nightingale defended her three companions behind her from that attack. Additionally, she extended her hand and waved the dagger. Two majestic waves of strength crashed on the ground to form a massive pit. There was no sound, yet that combat was more deadly than a brawl.

Nightingale collided with her clone numerous times while surrounded by a chaos-elemental combat aura. The clone’s body swung slightly. On the other hand, the Nightingale was launched more than ten meters into the air. There were numerous holes in her platinum-tier armor, revealing her bloodied skin. A smear of blood dripped from the corner of her mouth.

Although her clone looked identical to her, she could feel it as soon as she moved. The clone’s fighting techniques appeared to encompass a wide variety of combat techniques. The clone was clearly significantly stronger than her.

“Miss Nightingale, those clones are too powerful. We are no match for them at all. Let’s stop fighting and leave.” Clyde had been forced to retreat by his own doppelganger; there were more than ten sword wounds on his body.

“D*mn it! The most difficult thing about those clones is not their strength, but that they can copy our weapons and armor.” Arthur had also retreated. The man held the Sky Hunting Bow in his hand as he confronted his clone. His clone was not injured. Instead, there were two arrows condensed from combat aura stuck in his shoulders.

They would only exhaust their physical strength in that battle. It was better to escape.

“Go! Remember, run toward Mount Creation. I’ll stay behind to cover you.” Nightingale decided with gritted teeth.

Arthur immediately gave up resisting. A layer of dragon scales appeared on his body. He spread the Phoenix wings on his back and flew rapidly toward Mount Creation. It was a partial beast transformation with his Druid secret skill. He had borrowed his powers from the Diamond Stardust Dragon and Frost Phoenix that Watson had given him.

“That coward!”

Annie was cursed. Instead of walking away, she stepped toward Nightingale. “Miss Nightingale, if you want to leave, we’ll go together.”

Clyde and Leon did not speak as they fought against their clones. However, their expressions revealed that they had the same thought.

“You won’t be of any use if you stay here with me. You might as well go to Mount Creation to get reinforcements. If I can’t survive this, then so be it.” Nightingale gave Annie a push and used the dagger in her other hand to block the clone’s swift attack. She took two steps backward and spat out a mouthful of blood.

“I—”

Annie hesitated. Nightingale’s words made sense. Leaving one person behind would significantly increase their chances of survival, but Nightingale’s chances of dying would also rise. Furthermore, with such powerful enemies, she doubted whether the people from Mount Creation could help them.

Just as she could not make up her mind, Arthur suddenly reappeared—Annie felt relieved. “Miss Nightingale, I should not leave. Even the timid Arthur is back. I can’t lose to him.”

“You think I don’t want to leave? D*mn it, those clones fly much faster than me and escape faster than me.”

Arthur, who had just returned, deactivated his dragonification. Three more arrows appeared on his shoulders; he grimaced in pain. “Those guys look like us, and they have the same equipment. They are our clones; why are they so much stronger than us?”

The dragon scales and phoenix wings had also appeared on Arthur’s clone. However, the dragon scales on his clone were not only from the Diamond Stardust Dragons, but there were also three pairs of Phoenix wings on the clone’s backs. The sheer magnitude of the clones crushed them.

Everyone frowned when they heard Arthur’s mocking voice, even in times of crisis. They thought that Arthur had a change of mind and rushed back to die with them. As expected, they were moved for nothing.

While it was funny, everyone also felt despair in their hearts. They thought they could hold on for a little longer if they could escape, but it seemed like they would not be able to hold on for even another minute.

Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh!

Silver-moon demonic wolves emerged from the snow one after another. Those magical beasts were only silver-tier, but they were also in large numbers. There were tens of thousands of them—even platinum-tier elites would be intimidated by the sheer numbers. Furthermore, they still had to deal with their clones and the Moon-eating Sky Wolves.

It seemed that death had become their inevitable outcome.

Roar!

Even Nightingale subconsciously dropped the dagger in her hand and gave up resisting. Suddenly, a terrifying dragon’s roar came from the sky.

A vast shadow blocked the sunlight and cast a shadow on the ground. Then, a huge flaming meteor fell from the sky and landed in front of Nightingale and the others. The meteor was hundreds of meters long. Before the terrifying power of the meteor fell, the magical beasts crouched on the ground in terror.

Then, the meteor landed on the ground and created a bottomless pit in the ground. The earth had melted, and water surged in all directions like a tide. The silver-moon demonic wolves were blasted into a sieve by the drifting sand, not to mention the center of the meteor. The magical beasts hit were immediately vaporized.

Roar!

Immediately after the dragon’s roar, the cry of a Phoenix echoed from the sky. Suddenly, white sparks bloomed on the ground. The clones had turned into ice sculptures, and the solid ice had spread to the ground.

“What’s going on?”

Annie raised her head in disbelief when she saw a scene that she would never forget for the rest of her life. She saw a giant dragon and a phoenix soaring in the clouds in the sky with tens of thousands of holy beings behind them. Those beings had halos on their heads and wings on their backs.
