Bam!!

The Demon Core in his hand exploded instantly, turning into a storm of powder that scattered in the air.

In the Void directly underneath Blue Void, several transparent rings of forces appeared, and from the middle of the forces, a large Dual-Headed Black Dragon, the size of an elephant, flew out.

One of the Dual-Headed Black Dragon’s two mouths glowed with black-red firelight, and while the other had a blue-black chill emanating from the corners of its mouth.

Roar!!!

The gigantic Dual-Headed Black Dragon pounced straight at the statue of the butcher beneath it.

“Haha! An Advanced Undead, you sure know how to get me opponents, Blue Void!!” it responded loudly, pouncing fearlessly.

Bam!!! There was an enormous tremor produced from the clash between the two giants.

Black-red flames shot out of the Black Dragon’s mouth, burning the Butcher’s body mercilessly, but they did not leave a single trace. Similarly, the blue-black chill from the other side was completely ineffective as well.

“Damnit! It’s the type I hate the most, a Reinforced Undead that’s immune to both ice and fire! I demand more compensation this time, Blue Void!!”

“No problem!” Blue Void replied loudly, standing on the Dual-Headed Black Dragon’s back.

“I like a generous employer, haha!!” The Dual-Headed Black Dragon instantly laughed, satisfied.

The Butcher waved his cleaver, slashing down hard at the Black Dragon’s scales and leaving a tiny mark. The Black Dragon immediately lost it. Since both of the elements he was good at would not work, he decided to simply go head-to-head against the Butcher, fighting power with brute power, without using any fancy tricks whatsoever.

While these two giants were having a fierce go at each other on one hand, on the other side, the many Corpses and Vampires had also pounced out of hiding. The Corpses were an evolution of the Zombies, and they had the ghosts’ ability to dematerialize as well as travel through shadows. When they materialized, they also had the powerful defensive ability of Advanced Zombies.

There was a potent poison on their claws, one that was extremely destructive. With it, a serious injury would lead straight to death, and most Corpses were also partly immune to material attacks. Only weapons equipped with spells and effects that contained positive energy could deal them great damage.

The Warriors rushed at them, roaring loudly, and fought against the Vampires and Corpses that had flown into the campsite. The brutal beasts summoned by the Wizards also pounced on them, fighting against the horde of the Undead.

Skeleton Wizards and Zombie Wizards began to appear in the Undead Army opposite them. They unleashed negative energy spells and began to neutralize the human Wizards’ positive energy spells. The only silver lining was that the White Bone Fence could temporarily halt the advance of the Skeletons and Zombies. They tried their best to break the White Bone Fence, but could not fly in for now. Hence, the Warriors only needed to battle against a few Vampires and Corpses.

“Things’re looking bad! All Contractors, get ready!” The old Wizard in mid-air temporarily assumed command.

The Contractors at the core noticed something amiss as well. The Wizards at the outer ring had already given themselves many layers of defense, such as Wizard Armor, Shield Spells, Elemental Resistance Increase, Poison Barrier, Stoneskin Spells, and Lignified Skin. They just put spell after defensive spell, both high-level and low-level, over their bodies.

Boom!

A Contractor could not resist it and summoned his dragon first. The Green Dragon was the size of a horse, and it flew up, lowering its head and spraying out a mouthful of corrosive Dragon’s Breath. It half-melted away the heads of two Vampires, and then it reached out wildly with its Dragon Claws. Grabbing two Corpses, it threw its head back and tossed them straight into its mouth, swallowing them whole.

Green Dragons were known for liking poison and negative energy, but to think his Green Dragon would even devour corpses, now that was a dragon with a rare, extreme taste…

The appearance of the Colossal Dragon directly prevented the situation from falling apart.

The Wizards divided themselves into small teams and split up, destroying the Corpses and Vampires that were surging in. Thankfully, they had the protection of all those defensive spells, so only a very few Wizards sustained injuries. The rest retreated from the attacks of the Undead, completely unharmed.

But just then, more Undead appeared in the distance once more. Those were Advanced Undead, armed with all sorts of equipment and weapons. The Advanced Zombies, who clearly had a certain level of intelligence, all rushed toward the campsite, and they actually displayed well-rehearsed martial arts and combat techniques. These were that close to becoming Dark Knights!!

“Advanced Undead!! This is bad!”

A female Contractor Wizard gasped in terror.

The Demon Core in her hand disappeared instantly, and a Red Dragon appeared by her side soundlessly.

Like her, most of the Contractors began to silently summon their dragon companions.

More than ten Colossal Dragons all appeared within the camp, and their enormous Draconic Aura wove together. Rather than resisting each other, they gathered together and shot toward the outside as one.

The Draconic Aura directly suppressed all the Undead nearby, forcing them to slow down by two beats, their power dropping by at least one level. As for the weaker ones, the Soul Flames in their eyes actually began to jump intensely, and they began to sway even as they walked.

“Let’s destroy these filthy things!” The largest Black Dragon pounced out and caught an Advanced Zombie wildly with his claws, tearing it directly with his hands.

And then there were the remaining Green Dragons, Blue Dragons, White Dragons, and Red Dragons. There was even a rare Purple Dragon.

All of the summoned dragons joined the battle.

“Why aren’t you fighting? As a Contractor, you’re one of our most precious fighting forces. You should know that if you and your dragon companion fight for us, you might be able to save a few Warriors’ lives!!” Gergenfor’s voice instantly attracted the gazes of all the Contractors.

When they saw that there was still a Contractor who had not summoned his Colossal Dragon, the Contractors were all slightly unhappy with him.

“Are you still trying to conserve your energy at a crucial moment like this? There really are all sorts of selfish types!” said a Wizard icily.

“Conserving energy?” Gergenfor laughed coldly. “Kevin, didn’t you say that your companion was too strong, and that’s why you’re reluctant to summon it?”

Kevin acted calm, gripping his daughter’s hand.

“I did say that. I’m poor, so I can only summon my companion once. I’m not as rich as you are, that’s why I have to leave it until the most important moment.”

“Poor? Haha. This isn’t the time to be stingy with your expenses, every bit of fighting power will save lives. Here, I’ll give you this Level Six Demon Core, is that enough to summon your ‘powerful companion’?” Just then, one of the Wizards in mid-air descended from the sky and tossed Kevin a Demon Core impatiently. He truly believed that Kevin did not summon his companion because he lacked summoning materials. He would never have thought that there was another secret behind the scenes.

Kevin accepted it hurriedly.

“This is the summoning resource Master Blue Void gave me. My companion has already gone on ahead, so I’ll give you this Demon Core, hurry up and summon yours. For all we know, one more pair of fighting hands may be able to turn the tides,” said the old Wizard sincerely.

Kevin’s face turned slightly pale as he gripped the Demon Core. This was the first Level Six Demon Core he had ever seen, an Advanced Demon Core. The treasure he had always dreamed of was now in his hands, but he felt as though the Demon Core was scalding his skin, so much so that he could barely hold it.

“What are you waiting for?!” the old Wizard said, hurrying him. On the other side, the Advanced Undead were already approaching. If they arrived and the situation fell apart completely, then it would truly be over.

“I…” Kevin clenched his teeth. All the Contractors had summoned their companions.

Looking at the taunting gazes around him, Kevin finally decided to activate the Summoning Matrix. He tossed out his summoning materials, the powdered Demon Core’s tiny particles floating in the air.

Some transparent distorted waves appeared in mid-air.

Under these circumstances, where all the Contractors were required to fight, he no longer had any excuse to conserve his true power. Along the way here, others had sacrificed far too much to protect them, so if he still did not contribute at a time like this, the first ones to be dealt with and removed would be them. As all the Wizards around him watched glaringly, no matter how reluctant Kevin was, he had no choice but to summon his companion together with the other Contractors. He gripped that Level Six Demon Core tightly in his hand. The sharp edges nearly sliced his palm open.

Whoosh!

A petite White Dragon Whelp appeared before him, in stark contrast with the large, stout, horse-sized Young Blue and Red Dragons summoned by the other Contracts around them.

Among all the dragons, this little White Dragon was the smallest in size and had the weakest aura. It was even looking around curiously, as though it still was not very sure what was happening.

“A White Dragon? Haha, it’s a little White Dragon? How fascinating, so this is that oh-too-powerful Contract Dragon? Doth my eyes deceive me?” Gergenfor immediately started roaring with creepy laughter.

“And this is what you call a powerful dragon that can only be summoned with a Level Six Demon Core? Haha, that’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard in my life.” Extreme displeasure twinkled in the eyes of one of the old Wizards.

“The Warriors and scouts who sacrificed themselves along the way have practically died for nothing. They died to protect a false Wizard who only knows how to lie, to protect a regular White Dragon that’s merely Level Four, and a trash Level Four Wizard. Both are only Level Four, and yet they enjoyed such high-class treatment for so long. What a combination.”

“Liar! You’re a disgrace to the noble character of the Wizards!”

“Chase him out, get him out of here! Make him fight at the frontlines with those Warriors!”

Several different voices rang out around them. Most of the Wizards just watched coldly, but their icy gazes showed just how ticked off they were.

As for the old Wizard who gave him the Demon Core, the disappointment that flashed through his eyes was even more indescribable. Shaking his head, he glanced at Kevin, then he turned around and walked away.

Kevin looked at the dazed little White Dragon and closed his eyes in despair.

He knew that everything was over. The furious Wizards would never let a liar and pretender like him go without punishment, and Blue Void would never pass up on a way to vent the frustration he had pent up along the way. This was a crucial moment right now, too. Once the battle ended, he and his daughter Maria would surely be dealt the harshest punishment!

Above them, the battle between the Dual-Headed Hell Black Dragon and the Undead Butcher was heating up. Blue Void stood on the Dual-Headed Hell Black Dragon’s back, loudly reciting a long and mysterious chant. In his hand, he actually held a shortsword that twinkled with golden light. But it was not golden light, because a close look would reveal that they were actually countless golden glyphs, flowing across the blade. And the chant seemed to be the musical notes activating the shortsword.

Roar!!

The many dragons roared and flapped their wings, taking to the air and pouncing toward the Undead Army behind the Undead Butcher. They began to tear each other apart brutally, the light of the spells from the Zombie, Skeleton, and human Wizards sparkling across the battlefield, lighting up here and extinguishing there.

Fireballs, Acid, the platinum silver light of positive energy– all of them constantly blinked and twinkled. Some of them were immediately extinguished as soon as they appeared, neutralized by the dark fog of negative energy. Many Arcane Art Projectiles leaped into the air in dense waves, there were no fewer than a hundred Projectiles in the storm of them, and they all pounced downward at the same time. Evidently, someone had activated an Advanced Scroll.
