Chapter 498: The Reappearance of the Contract spirit Legion
Before their eyes.
Nearly half the battlefield plains were covered in a sea of dark Ghost Slaves.
They swarmed like locusts, relentlessly charging at the allied forces from various nations.
Colorful bursts of magical light constantly lit up the battlefield.
Explosions and booming noises filled the air without pause.
Each burst of magical brilliance and explosion signaled the death of hundreds, if not thousands, of Ghost Slaves, shattered into pieces.
They seemed like mindless creatures, incapable of thought, knowing only how to charge forward without any fear.
Meanwhile, the national and adventurer forces advanced and retreated in a well-organized manner, with every soldier carefully preserving their lives, their tactics cautious and steady.
But even so.
The allied and adventurer forces suffered significant casualties due to the sheer number of Ghost Slaves.
Thankfully, the healer forces stationed at the rear were continuously casting healing and resurrection spells, greatly alleviating the pressure on the frontline troops.
"Damn it…"
"Why are there so many Ghost Slaves? We've been killing them day after day!"
One of the members of Dragon Kingdom's 9th Squad couldn't help but complain while onboard the magic airship.
Their decapitation mission had been completed, and the defensive system of Liuli City had been thoroughly destroyed.
They had also handed over the city to other squads, meaning the 9th Squad no longer needed to defend it and could return to the Hundred Ghost Fortress.
However, with Ling Zhan's orders, there was no way they would return just yet.
Besides…
They also wanted to join the ground battle and enjoy a satisfying enemy kill!
"These Ghost Slaves from the Takamagahara Forbidden Zone seem like some kind of mass-produced robots…"
"It's going to take a massive effort just to clear them out."
Zhou Xue'er remarked softly.
Even under the bombardment of numerous third-turn spellcasters, the Ghost Slaves' assault showed no signs of faltering.
Their numbers were simply terrifying!
"All members prepare for airdrop!"
At that moment.
The pilot of the magic airship made the announcement—the drop point had been chosen by Ling Zhan, positioned right behind the Ghost Slave Army!
"There won't be an exact drop zone. Vice-Captain Zhou, you'll lead everyone."
"Your task is simple—protect yourselves and kill as many enemies as you can."
Ling Zhan's calm voice rang out.
"Captain Ling, what about you?"
Someone asked.
"Don't worry about me. Just take care of yourselves."
Ling Zhan responded coolly.
The group was taken aback.
Damn!
They thought Ling Zhan was joking.
But it seemed like he really intended to charge into the Ghost Slave ranks alone!
There wasn't time to process their surprise.
The airship had already reached the coordinates and come to a halt.
The hatch opened wide!
A violent windstorm instantly filled the airship!
Without hesitation, Ling Zhan leaped out, diving toward the ground at breakneck speed!!
What shocked the squad members even more…
As soon as they jumped out of the airship and looked down, they saw that Ling Zhan had already put a distance of nearly a thousand meters between himself and the rest of them!
Damn!
This guy was falling toward the ground at a speed of one thousand meters per second!!
That was insane!
And yet.
The most shocking part was yet to come!!
Suddenly, mystical ripples began to emanate from Ling Zhan's body.
And then, in the next moment…
Buzz!!
In the astonished gazes of the squad members, they saw countless magical rings forming around Ling Zhan's body!
"Is that…"
"A Contract spirit Magic Formation!"
"He's summoning Contract spirits!"
The squad members couldn't help but cry out in surprise!
Even in the midst of such a tense and exhilarating airdrop, the falling team members couldn't help but focus their eyes on Ling Zhan, mesmerized by his spectacular display!
Ling Zhan had surprised them too many times!
And now he was showing off with a Contract spirit Summoning!
The senior members of the third-year students, who had witnessed Ling Zhan's A+ Contract spirit Legion before, were already brimming with excitement, realizing what Ling Zhan was about to do!
These fourth-year members were still too naive!!
Boom!!
In the next instant.
As Ling Zhan approached the ground, massive Contract spirits, each towering over a hundred meters, materialized from the Pact Summoning Formation, crashing down on the earth!!
"What the hell!?"
"Those are… primary Contract spirits!?"
The descending fourth-year members were left utterly dumbfounded!
They recognized these familiar Contract spirits, ones they hadn't seen in a long time.
Minotaurs.
Goblin Bombers.
Flame Birds.
Winged Tigers.
Lost Butterflies.
Cat Demons.
Octopi.
...…
As these colossal Contract spirits landed, each as large as a skyscraper.
They immediately drew the attention of every Ghost Slave and even the allied forces from various nations!
"What! What's going on?"
The members of the Owl Legion, responsible for monitoring battlefield movements, widened their eyes in disbelief!
Even the soldiers on the battlefield had to halt their combat as the ground trembled. They quickly backed off, casting puzzled and shocked gazes at the towering creatures at the rear of the Ghost Slave Army!
What was this!?
Could it be that the Takamagahara Heaven Ghost Generals were intervening again?
"No, look closely!"
"That figure standing on the Thorn Blossom Spirit's shoulder—that's a soldier wearing Dragon Kingdom's special squad uniform!"
When the Dragon Kingdom soldiers pointed this out through their communication devices.
The message was quickly transmitted to every soldier on the battlefield!
Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward the rear. Some with sharp vision actually managed to see the cold and aloof figure!
He was really standing on the Thorn Blossom Spirit's shoulder!!
"Who is that? I've never heard of anyone like that from Dragon Kingdom!"
"Damn! Nearly ten thousand Contract spirit monsters! And these Contract spirits look familiar, like primary-level ones!"
"But their ferocious aura is nothing like primary Contract spirits! They're more like A+ Contract spirits summoned by high-level Summoners!"
"Oh my god! A Contract spirit Legion of nearly ten thousand A+ level creatures! How did he do it?"
"…"
The battlefield, once a fiery chaos.
Now saw everyone retreating to a safe distance, watching in utter disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
At this moment.
The charging Ghost Slaves finally noticed the commotion from behind.
And when they turned to look…
They realized they were now engulfed in the shadow of darkness!
"Roar!!"
The Ghost Slaves let out frenzied roars.
But…
Boom!!
A massive Minotaur foot came crashing down on the Ghost Slave Army!!
