Free Web NovelChapter 169: Chapter 85: Advent of the Red Dragon! Mandatory Entry [Soul Tremble]
Immediately after, the Undead Skeleton Knight spurred its Ghost Warhorse into a swift charge toward Su Xuan, intending to slay him in a single strike.
"I’ll hold it off, but to defeat it for good, we have to figure out a way to deal with its bizarre ability!"
Hong Lian hoisted her blazing Flame Giant Sword and charged fearlessly toward the Undead Skeleton Knight.
The moment they clashed, the Undead Skeleton Knight instantly became incorporeal, attempting to bypass Hong Lian’s blockade.
But how could Hong Lian let it escape so easily?
She let out a thunderous roar, "Get back here!"
The moment she spoke, she plunged her Flame Giant Sword into the ground. The surrounding air was instantly engulfed in crimson flames, forming a massive ring of fire that sealed off the entire battlefield.
The Undead Skeleton Knight tried to break through the ring of fire, but discovered to its horror that these crimson flames could burn its very soul. Left with no alternative, it turned back to attack Hong Lian.
The battle began in earnest. Rosaline unfurled her Soul Light Wings and flew into the ring of fire to fight alongside Hong Lian.
Through the raging inferno, Su Xuan could faintly make out the scene on the battlefield. Although Hong Lian and Rosaline’s combined efforts could hold the Undead Skeleton Knight at bay for now, the soul-burning flames would eventually be exhausted.
"Lucia, can you still sense its presence?" Su Xuan asked.
Lucia closed her eyes, sensing the soul fluctuations in the area. After a moment, she spoke slowly, "It’s nearby, but not in a physical form. It can be forced to reveal itself if it sustains large-scale Soul Magic damage."
"It doesn’t have a physical form?" Su Xuan’s expression turned grave. ’Could it be a Ghost?’
Moreover, Lucia had mentioned that forcing it to appear with wide-area Soul Magic damage wouldn’t be difficult.
"Rosaline, absorb Hong Lian’s flames and unleash the Soul Light Killing Cannon!" Su Xuan commanded decisively. As for the name "Soul Light Killing Cannon," it was just something he had casually made up for Rosaline’s move.
By absorbing Elemental Damage, the Soul Light Wings could unleash a massive Soul Magic attack that would leave the target with nowhere to hide.
"Yes."
Rosaline nodded in acknowledgment. The Soul Light Wings on her back slowly spread, beginning to absorb the surrounding flames created by Hong Lian.
’What is this Power?’
A look of surprise crossed the face of Hong Lian, who was in the thick of the fight. She never expected Rosaline to have the ability to absorb the flames she had unleashed!
Soon, Rosaline’s Soul Light Wings began to gather energy, emitting a dazzling radiance like twinkling stars in the night sky.
"Soul... Light Killing Cannon?"
Rosaline earnestly repeated the name Su Xuan had given her attack.
In that instant!
The Power of the Soul unleashed from Rosaline’s Soul Light Wings spread out in all directions with astonishing force, like a tidal wave instantly sweeping over the entire battlefield!
Thanks to her increased Level, the area of effect for Rosaline’s Soul Magic was far greater than ever before!
With her at its epicenter, an area ten kilometers in diameter was completely enveloped by this immense Soul Power.
The Players fighting the Skeletons that had crawled up from the ground were instantly struck by this force.
Since this Power of the Soul wasn’t targeting them directly, they weren’t significantly affected. But when they snapped out of the fight, they were shocked to find that the Skeletons they had been fighting were now just piles of bones scattered across the ground.
This scene left all the Players on the field stunned.
After a moment of silence, a wave of angry curses erupted.
"Dammit! Which asshole used an AOE skill to wipe the whole field? Can’t you let anyone else get a damn kill?!"
"That’s outrageous! Almost a hundred Contribution Points! Poof! All gone!"
"My Skeleton Knight! What happened to you! Wake up! Waaah~"
"I’m so pissed! I was *this* close to defeating a Skeleton Commander, and someone stole my kill! They better hope I don’t find out who did it!" freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"..."
The Players all cursed, but unfortunately for them, Su Xuan couldn’t hear a single word.
As Rosaline’s Power of the Soul burst forth, the flames on the battlefield were instantly extinguished.
Meanwhile, a blue thread of Soul Energy appeared on the Undead Skeleton Knight, connecting it like a string to the starry Void above.
"Alice!"
"At your command!"
Alice immediately carried out Su Xuan’s order, maneuvering the Soul Cutter to sever the blue thread of Soul Energy.
The moment the Soul Energy was severed, the Undead Skeleton Knight instantly lost its [Void] ability.
"Nice one!"
Seeing her chance, Hong Lian swiftly swung her sword, hacking fiercely at the Undead Skeleton Knight. At the same time, Ivsha’s Divine Magic Power condensed into a Holy Light Giant Sword that descended from the heavens, plunging straight into the Undead Skeleton Knight’s chest.
With a deafening BOOM, the Undead Skeleton Knight dissolved into a burst of Dark Green Soul Flame and vanished. At the same time, a series of notifications appeared in Su Xuan’s vision.
[Killed Undead Skeleton Knight. Contribution Points +70! Experience +10,000!]
[Killed Skeleton. Contribution Points +1!]
[Killed Skeleton. Contribution Points +1!]
[...]
?
Su Xuan paused, a little surprised. ’Why so much extra experience? Could it be that Rosaline’s attack just wiped out all the Skeletons within the range of her Soul Magic?’
’Sweet!’
However, more than the rapid increase in his Contribution Points, Su Xuan was focused on the figure that had fallen from the starry Void above when the Soul Energy was severed.
"Aah!"
A pristine white figure drifted down from the sky, landing in front of Su Xuan. Since it existed only as a soul, it fell right through the ground.
But it quickly popped back out of the earth, reappearing before them.
It was only then that Su Xuan got a clear look at it... ’Wait a minute.’
Su Xuan frowned slightly. Before him was a female Ghost. The Ghost’s upper body was tightly wrapped in white cloth, while her lower half exposed two pale, slender thighs—a memorable sight.
Almost at the same moment, information about her popped up in his vision.

"Miss Zhen Bai?"
Puzzled, Su Xuan carefully sized up the ghost before him, whose most prominent feature was her two legs. They were, indeed, very white...
’Even though her stat screen is full of question marks, Lucia said she’s very weak in a fight. This is the perfect job for Alice, who’s an expert at dealing with souls.’
"Alice, make your move."
"Yes, Master!"
Alice raised her Big Scissors, ready to snip Miss Zhen Bai to pieces.
"I’m warning you! Stay away from me! I have a boss!" Miss Ghost warned Alice, her legs trembling in fear.
"A boss?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Su Xuan’s face as he heard Miss Zhen Bai’s words.
The words had barely left her mouth when a violent gale erupted, with a Hurricane sweeping in from all directions. Then, a massive dark shadow spiraled down from the starry Void, rapidly approaching their location.
"What is that...?!"
When Su Xuan got a clear look at the dark shadow’s true form, his face filled with shock!
A Bone Dragon!
It was a Bone Dragon, nearly a hundred meters long!
"Young one, that’s the aura of my child!" the Red Dragon Mother’s excited voice echoed in Su Xuan’s mind.
Su Xuan raised an eyebrow. ’That Bone Dragon is the Little Red Dragon the Red Dragon Mother has been longing for?’
’Wait!’
He suddenly noticed a flicker of red light in the Bone Dragon’s abdomen.
’Is that a... red Dragon Egg?’

"A Level 70 Bone Dragon?!"
Su Xuan’s brows furrowed. A Level 70 Bone Dragon was far beyond what they could handle right now!
’This is bad!’
"Boss! Boss! Save me!"
Miss Ghost waved excitedly, crying out to the Bone Dragon for help.
However, the Bone Dragon showed no interest in them, flying right over their heads and heading for the exit of the Demon Cave.
This awkward scene made the atmosphere instantly freeze. It became dead silent, as if time itself had stopped. Miss Ghost, in particular, stiffened on the spot, turning into a stone statue...
