The terrifying skeleton instantly grew, covering Xue Dili and blocking the hand reached out by the Female Pope, as well as the obstruction from the Holy Knights.
The massive Skeleton Demon spread its bone wings one last time in the sunset, recklessly showcasing its might to the setting sun!
"No!!! Why!" The old undead didn't know what expression to use to face Xue Dili at this moment: shame, regret, anger, heartache...
He cried, the undead shed tears, watching his finest student and grandson-in-law walk into destruction for a world he had nothing to do with, a world like a cesspit.
In his own world, he had just started his life, just got into college, just became an adult, just at the age where feelings began to awaken...
"Why? Answer me!" The old undead's angry roar echoed in his soul.
Xue Dili smiled, under the sunset, he pointed towards the distant Witch Demon King: "Didn't I say? Because I, have once become the Light!"
The sunset shone on the pure white skeleton of the Skeleton Demon, and for some reason, it exuded an aura of holiness in the eyes of this group of Holy Profession members at this moment.
"Everyone, charge with me!" Xue Dili pointed towards the Witch Demon King, seemingly determined to ensure that old mummy would not return.
Now was the worst situation, the undead had not completely avoided the volcanic ash as originally planned.
But this was also the best situation, as there were no longer millions of the Undead Army, only the Witch Demon King and a few High Tier undead.
Therefore, just decapitate the Witch Demon King to achieve victory in one battle!
The bone wings flapped, and he immediately charged towards the distant Witch Demon King.
Afterwards, the Holy Profession members on the city wall also erupted in earth-shaking battle cries.
"Everyone willing to fight, mount up with me!" The Female Pope immediately donned an over eighty-pound Heavy Armor, picking up an eighty-pound Two-Handed Warhammer.
Numerous Holy Knights and priests mounted their unicorns.
Rows of unicorns leapt down from the nearly ten-meter-high city wall, hundreds of Holy Knights following closely behind the Skeleton Demon's charge, towards the giant undead beast like a windmill!
This time, there were no deserters, no mention of retreating.
This was the Witch Demon King's plan to exterminate humanity, and also the deadly counterattack by humans when the Witch Demon King was isolated!
Fight! Charge!
The Skeleton Demon directly went for the Witch Demon King on the Bone Dragon, ignoring the surrounding undead giant beasts. This was a battle between kings, a slaughter among monsters!
The nearly ten-meter Skeleton Demon Sword unleashed a terrifying Sword Qi, slicing through the Bone Dragon's body, forcing the Witch Demon King off his throne.
As other undead giant beasts intended to join the battle, the charging Holy Knights raised their Two-Handed Warhammers, using the momentum from their warhorses, fiercely smashing onto the ankles and calves of the undead giant beasts!
"Roar!" A few undead giant beasts had their ankles or knees shattered, losing balance, unable to help the still-fighting Witch Demon King, even forcing the Witch Demon King to divide attention to control them, nearly getting bisected by Xue Dili's incessantly swung Demon Sword.
Similarly, the Witch Demon King was also enraged.
After all, on paper, the Witch Demon King was at least twice as powerful as Undead Barak, but now, it was being suppressed by Xue Dili transformed into the Skeleton Demon.
Moreover, recalling the previous experience with General Barak, the Witch Demon King unleashed waves of terrifying Necromancy, pitting Xue Dili's skeletal body full of potholes.
"Holy Judgment!"
The Female Pope's crisp voice shouted angrily, the launched Holy Light Spear penetrating the Witch Demon King's shoulder, and not only that, other freed up Holy Knights also began chanting, volleys of Holy Light Spears like a rain of arrows attacking the Witch Demon King.
Xue Dili turned to see, some Holy Knights were even able to free their hands to assist him while pinning down the undead giant beasts.
"Insects!"
The Witch Demon King seemed furious, freeing a hand to command the undead giant beasts, but the instant it got distracted, the Dragon Ascending Sword with world-crashing momentum descended from above, chopping onto its shoulder, slamming it into the ground like a tennis ball.
The erupted volcanic ash blotted out the sky.
"My Dragon Ascension won't miss again!"
The Witch Demon King suffered a setback, boosting their side's morale explosively, with the Holy Knights stalling the undead giant beasts' advance, and Xue Dili's Skeleton Demon temporarily suppressing the Witch Demon King.
"You are seeking death on your own!" The Witch Demon King's roar sounded out.
The next moment, a torrential sonic boom cloud dispersed the dust and smoke, and as Xue Dili sidestepped, it felt as if being hit by a cannonball on the shoulder, shattering the entire left scapula and the surrounding Bone Armor utterly, with the massive skeleton arm crashing to the ground.
"Supersonic... Bone Spear!" Xue Dili immediately realized the previous attack.
The situation reversed instantaneously.
"Kid, dogfight in close quarters! Don't give that old mummy time to chant magic!" The old undead's voice sounded.
Xue Dili immediately engaged in melee, with the severed left hand continually growing under the old undead's power, regrowing the severed skeletal arm within ten breaths.
Meanwhile, the Witch Demon King's mummified body that was cleaved open by the Demon Sword gradually restored.
"Kid, it's immortal! If you don't crush its Soul Fire, any wounds you inflict will heal in an extremely short time. Even if you destroy its Soul Fire, the Witch Demon King can still slowly resurrect over the coming years."
"It's no longer a 'creature' in the traditional sense. It's a cataclysm, a disaster that can't be resolved."
"The only thing that could possibly seal it is Legendary Level Divine Art, but with the former Pope's death, that is impossible."
"Perhaps you still have a chance to be saved. I can send you and Alola away. I'll stay back to distract the Witch Demon King. As an undead myself, I can hold it off for decades, even centuries!"
Even now, the old undead hadn't given up trying to persuade Xue Dili to escape with his granddaughter.
But Xue Dili paid no heed.
Because his body had already begun an irreversible Undead Transformation.
In the future, perhaps it might be an alternative storyline where Undead Xue Dili adventures in the Otherworld, possibly establishing a Great Tomb to become the Bone King.
But at this moment, in Xue Dili's eyes, there was only this unwitting old mummy!
"Boom!" Amidst the bombardment from distant giant beasts, several Holy Knights accidentally got knocked away dozens of meters, their fates uncertain.
And on the other side, the monster-versus-monster slaughter felt as if it would never reach any conclusion or result.
"Xue, go! Why are you obstinately confronting an invincible ultimate monster?" Old Barak's roar nearly pierced Xue Dili's eardrum.
Yet Xue Dili laughed.
The Skeleton Demon's greatsword held the Witch Demon King firmly, allowing no opportunity for it to chant its magic.
In the Consciousness Space, Xue Dili sat smiling in front of the old undead, saying: "Old Deng, just like Da Gu, I also want to say something cool like 'Invincible? I don't understand'..."
"But before that, I vaguely think I've found the way to certain victory!"
The Skeleton Demon looked towards the direction of the volcano, and in the Consciousness Space, both Xue Dili and the old undead saw the active volcano.
"What do you intend to do?" The old undead asked in horror.
"Isn't there a volcano?" Xue Dili's mouth curved upward madly.
"Since it's an immortal ultimate monster, I'll make it stop thinking!"
