"Crystal Scatter."
The crystal projectiles hit the area where Iguva was located.
"Ghost Fire Blaze."
Blue flames sprayed from Iguva's hand, directly incinerating the crystals shot by Evileye.
"Magic-enhanced Crystal Spear."
A crystal spear broke through the blue flames and pierced through Iguva's body.
"How is this possible!"
Iguva took several steps back.
"Perhaps if you keep attacking me, you will kill me, but your companions won't last much longer."
In the air, Evileye looked toward the positions of Gagaran and Tina. Their bodies were covered in wounds, and only a dozen or so skeletons had been killed, leaving several hundred still standing.
On the other side, the attacks from the Death Knight were overwhelming Lakyus, who was panting heavily. Meanwhile, Tia was lying on the ground, motionless, possibly dead.
"Bastard!"
"Most Enhanced Magic! Crystal Explosion!"
Three magic circles appeared around Evileye, and three differently colored crystals emerged. The three crystals simultaneously hit Iguva, creating a violent explosion.
Evileye immediately flew toward Lakyus.
"As long as I can save Lakyus, there's still hope."
Lucas also noticed Evileye flying toward him at high speed. He took out a bow and shot a transparent arrow.
Due to the mist, Evileye couldn't clearly see what Lucas had done.
The arrow pierced directly through Evileye's heart.
Evileye fell near Gagaran and the others, and a skeleton soldier picked up a spear and directly thrust it into her body.
Unlike Gagaran, Evileye wasn't wearing armor. The spear pierced her through, sending a cold sensation straight through her.
"Evileye!" Two voices rang out simultaneously—it was Gagaran and Tina.
They had witnessed Evileye fall and be pierced by the spear.
"Is it like before?"
Evileye recalled the time when she encountered Peroroncino and Shalltear, when she was completely powerless, watching as they did as they pleased with her.
"Evileye, you can't lose! You are the strongest!"
Evileye remembered the words of her companion who traveled with her a century ago.
"I can't lose. I haven't uncovered the truth behind the destruction of my country. I can't lose."
"Damage Transfer"
A light emitted from Evileye's body, healing all the damage she had taken, leaving only shallow wounds.
"Maximum Strength Flame Pillar"
Evileye clasped her hands together, and a red magic circle appeared on the ground. Pillars of flames erupted from the ground, incinerating all the skeleton soldiers around her.
"Gagaran, Tina, hurry up!"
Evileye carved a bloody path for Gagaran and Tina.
"Maximum Strength Crystal Barrier"
A wall made of two crystals formed a path for Gagaran and Tina, stopping the other skeleton soldiers from surrounding them.
"Let's go!"
Gagaran and Tina followed Evileye's lead, charging toward the side of the death knight.
"This sword is nice, but you will never be able to unleash its true power. After you die, I will take good care of it."
Lucas's blade descended, and the powerful force made Lakyus lose her grip on the magic sword, sending it flying. Meanwhile, Tia had already collapsed, lifeless.
"It's over!" Lucas's large sword swung down.
"Crystal Barrier!"
At the critical moment, a crystal wall appeared in front of the death knight.
"How boring!"
Crash!
Lucas's large sword struck the crystal wall, and the wall collapsed instantly.
Behind the wall, the figures of the others from Blue Roses appeared.
"Everyone!" Lakyus said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"We can definitely escape together."
"Escape? What a fantasy!"
Iguva walked out from the group of skeleton soldiers.
"You're still alive!"
"I am the great Death Lich, serving the mighty God of Death, Iguva. How could I die here?"
"Well, you, a vampire mingling with humans, should have little power left by now!"
"You must have noticed that those arrows are draining your strength."
"Even so, killing you will still be more than enough."
"Most Enhanced Magic! Crystal Dagger!"
A crystal dagger flew toward Iguva. He stepped back a few paces, and a large number of skeleton soldiers blocked him, with the crystal dagger killing only three skeleton soldiers.
"How many more times can you cast such an attack? While I have countless undead like this."
"Be good and surrender, I will grant you a painless death."
"Tch! To be underestimated by an undead!" Gagaran, severely wounded, sneered.
"You think we're going to surrender? It's far too early for that."
Lakyus was also encouraged by Gagaran's words.
"We are the Adamantite-tier adventurers, Blue Roses."
"Adamantite-tier adventurers? That's a joke."
"Is it?" A slightly magnetic male voice that stood out from the crowd suddenly spoke.
"Do the members of Blue Roses need help?"
Chino and Yulia suddenly appeared at the scene.
They had completely appeared within the undead's encirclement.
Seeing Peroroncino, Even Evileye thought she was hallucinating.
"How did you end up here?" Lakyus immediately asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We used teleportation magic."
"I heard you traveled all the way from the royal capital just to take care of the work we were supposed to handle!"
"Fortunately, we arrived just in time." This was completely a lie from Peroroncino.
Peroroncino had been watching all of Blue Roses's actions through long-distance observation. He had been waiting for the right moment to make his entrance.
"Group Healing" Peroroncino casually snapped his fingers. All the injuries on Blue Roses's members were healed.
Peroroncino's appearance left Iguva unsure of what to do, and he immediately ordered all of his subordinates to stop attacking.
The undead ceased their attacks, giving Blue Roses a chance to breathe.
They had not had the opportunity to check on the fallen Tia, but now, they finally had the chance.
"Tia! Tia is dead... Lakyus, quickly cast Resurrection on Tia," Tina said.
"I can't... Tia was resurrected not long ago, and now I can't bring her back again."
"I... Tia!" Tina, usually emotionless, couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"It seems you need some careful assistance!"
Peroroncino waved his hand.
"Seventh-tier Faith Magic! Rebirth."
A white magic circle appeared beneath the deceased Tia. The magic circle transformed into a column of white light, and Tia floated up as white butterflies entered her body.
The undead instinctively took a step back. Holy magic had a great deterrent effect on them.
Watching this scene, the center of Evileye's attention gradually shifted, and another person slowly appeared in the place of Momon. (Evileye was gradually developing a favorable impression of Chino.)
