Before long, the Stellaron hunters in outer space saw black mist pouring out from the Eye of the Demon. The more this black mist gathered, the more it spread, and soon it dyed the Yellow Star into a Dark Star.
Silver Wolf turned on the projection device, projecting the footage that the robot left behind had filmed. At once, the scene was filled with the sound of sharp intakes of breath.
It turned out those weren't black mist at all, but densely packed black skeleton soldiers enough to make one's scalp go numb.
After pouring out from the giant rift, they arranged themselves neatly into square formations, then all lay prone on the ground, as if welcoming some important figure.
"Roar roar roar!"
The dragon roar finally revealed its true face, it turned out to be shadow black dragons, each at least a hundred meters long. On their backs stood skeleton knights clad in full-body jet-black heavy armor, holding giant axes.
After stepping out of the rift, the shadow black dragons and skeleton knights did not show off their might.
They too, like the black skeleton soldiers, lay prone on the ground, muttering in low voices some unknown language.
Finally, from the rift appeared a creature Silver Wolf recognized, the Wild Skeleton.
The Wild Skeleton was thirty meters tall, its whole body pure white like jade, wearing badly damaged bright red armor.
It carefully held in both hands a beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes, and slowly walked out of the rift.
"Wild Skeleton, project their images!" Vera stretched out her hand, pointing at the robot spying on her.
The Wild Skeleton respectfully nodded, slightly moved its finger, and black flames rose up on the robot, lifting it slowly into midair.
At the same time, flames also rose up on the robot in front of Silver Wolf, and the camera spun around, recording everyone's image.
Silver Wolf sensed something bad, and wanted to quickly cut off the connection. Unfortunately it was already too late.
She could only watch helplessly as her and the others' images were projected into the sky, for all the monsters to see.
"Dare to hurt Lord Emiya, don't think you'll die easy!"
After Vera squeezed these words out through her teeth, the scene erupted with deafening roars. The Wild Skeleton took the lead, carrying Vera into outer space.
The dragon riders followed closely behind, and then black flames also rose up from the skeleton soldiers, slowly lifting them into the sky.
"This is f***ing cheating, is that kind of ability even something that could exist in this universe!" Kafka couldn't help but burst out cursing.
"Sorry, I was too arrogant, I shouldn't have doubted Silver Wolf's words." Meiya pulled down the brim of her witch's hat, covering her red swollen eyes from crying.
"If we survive this, you can beat me however you want to vent your anger."
"It's not just your fault. For today to end like this, none of us can wash our hands of it." Hano rubbed his big bald head, his eyes full of bitterness.
Regret.
Endless regret filled everyone's hearts. Clearly they had countless chances to kill this father and daughter, but for various reasons, they ended up bringing about their own destruction.
"Stop sighing there, get ready to fight, we can't run away at our speed!" Silver Wolf switched the robots into combat mode while quietly comforting everyone.
"Just hold on ten minutes, that's enough. We have two warships outside the star system, they found Blade. He's still alive, and he'll arrive at the battlefield very soon."
"I'm also doing my best to analyze the situation, trying to quickly overcome Vera's interference and teleport everyone to a safe place."
"That's right, we absolutely can't let these monsters covered in evil aura have the chance to slaughter the living!" Stellaron hunter Kemp swung his dragon-wrenching gun, charging first at the skeleton army.
"Brothers and sisters, fight shoulder to shoulder with me!"
Kemp had once been the prince of a planet, but the arrival of the antimatter legion wiped out all life.
Luckily, Kemp, like Blade, received the blessing of the Abundance Envoy, gaining an undying body. From then on he roamed across planets, saving people from water and fire.
Those who could join the Stellaron hunters were all the elites of their star systems. With Kemp charging ahead fearlessly, the others quickly steadied their nerves, checked their bodies and abilities, then all raised their weapons and fought the skeleton army to the death.
The battle was countless times more brutal than expected. The black skeleton soldiers had terrifying combat power. Though their bodies were fragile, they didn't seem to die. Even if shattered, they rapidly recovered.
The skeleton dragon riders were even fiercer. Any one of them had power equal to a Stellaron hunter. And since they never tired, if truly fighting one on one, it might really be the dragon riders who won in the end.
At this time, the strength of Kafka's word spirit arts showed its value. She kept roaming the battlefield edges, turning skeleton soldiers one by one into her own. Very soon she had formed her own army, clashing against Vera's summoned skeletons.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Kafka and Kemp together ambushed and killed a dragon rider.
Without the dragon rider's control, the shadow black dragon that had been so mighty before became stupid and dazed, not giving other knights the chance to mount it. Kafka and Kemp leapt onto it together, steering it straight toward Vera.
The skeleton army seemed to have gone completely mad, and almost no one blocked Kafka. She very smoothly approached within a hundred meters of Vera.
"You focus on releasing your ability, I'll handle this skeleton frame!" Kemp, holding the dragon-wrenching gun, stood firmly at Kafka's side, trying to block the attacks of the Wild Skeleton, which seemed to hold very high status among the skeleton army.
But Kemp had thought too much. The Wild Skeleton just stood there blankly without moving. Even when Kafka once again used her word spirit arts at full power to hypnotize Vera, the Wild Skeleton still didn't attack.
As Vera fell into sleep, the skeleton army, skeleton knights, and shadow black dragons instantly lost their power, turning back into dead things, falling toward the Yellow Star.
"Quick, kill her!"
Kafka shouted loudly. Kemp immediately understood and charged at Vera, while the other Stellaron hunters quickly shifted their attacks toward her as well.
BOOM!
Suddenly, black cold flames burst up simultaneously from Vera and the shadow black dragon. The power of the word spirit arts was erased in an instant.
Vera raised her hand, summoned the Godslayer Spear, and pierced Kemp clean through the heart. The shadow black dragon immediately swung its claws, attacking Kafka.
'What's going on, how could the word spirit whisper fail again!'
Kafka stumbled back in panic, while trying to cast word spirit arts again to control the shadow black dragon. But this time it was like an impenetrable copper wall and iron fortress, with not a single gap to exploit.
On the other side, with Vera waking up, the skeleton army erupted with even more terrifying power than before, once again slaughtering the battered Stellaron hunters.
"Analysis… complete. It is… word… spirit… whisper." The Wild Skeleton spat out clumsy, hard-to-understand words, giving Vera an explanation.
"Interesting. Can this ability be kept?" Vera stirred her snowy white hair, looking at Kafka with deep meaning.
"For now, it cannot."
"In that case, no need to keep her." Vera raised her index finger and pointed at Kafka. The Godslayer Spear instantly erupted with unstoppable power, charging at Kafka at full speed.
