Chapter 1018: Just a Single Person!

Dark flowers of sword strokes rapidly approached Mo Fan, forcing him to back away. He tried to use the boulders on the hill as cover, but to his surprise, the boulders were shattered into pieces as soon as the attacks came into contact with them!

One of the sword flowers passed by Mo Fan’s shoulder and left a deep cut on it. Dark energy penetrated into the cut, even the blood flowing out of it turned black.

Mo Fan knew it was fairly difficult to treat injuries inflicted by the dark energy. He had already suffered six similar cuts. Luckily, he possessed the Shadow Element, which was able to stop the dark energy from spreading further into his body. Otherwise, the deadly energy would have destroyed his organs in no time!

The rapid slashes formed a sword pattern with a strong presence of death. Mo Fan was forced to keep retreating, and eventually reached the edge of the hill.

Mo Fan was in pain from the injuries all across his body. His movements were no longer as agile as before. At this rate, even his casting speed would be affected, which would greatly weaken his fighting capacity.

Seeing the Brutal Sword Death Servants approaching him, Mo Fan was unwilling to give up just like that, as he would be earning a handsome profit if he could eliminate all of them. Unfortunately, he could barely defend himself from their attacks. He could only kill a few more Brutal Sword Death Servants at most, and anything more than that was basically impossible.

“It’s time for me to make my run. Otherwise, I might actually die here,” Mo Fan realized he could no longer take on the undead. He was still moving backward.

When he reached the edge, he believed it was time to make his move. He came to a stop and stared right at the Brutal Sword Death Servants.

The Brutal Sword Death Servants were fairly intelligent. When they saw the human coming to a stop, they were utterly confused, as the cunning human did not seem like a person that would go down without a fight!

“Charge!”

“Attack, press forward!”

“We’re almost at the top, we’re going to make it, soldiers, it’s only the final bunch of enemies left!”

Mo Fan heard voices coming from the slope behind him.

——

Soon, the voices were deafening, and were accompanied by strong blasts of spells.

The voices had always been around, as the battle between the humans and the undead was still ongoing. However, the Brutal Sword Death Servants were so occupied with Mo Fan that they had simply ignored the shouts of the humans that gradually approached them. The human army had already reached the foothill without them knowing it!

The army charged up the hill. Most of them were wearing the uniforms of the Battlemage of the Egyptian Army. The frontal squad arrived like a tide driven by a powerful wind. There were around two hundred of them, all arriving at the top of the hill at the same time!

“Listen up, it’s only our second destination. If General Fenna already has to be involved, the second half of the journey to the pyramid is going to be even tougher. Remember that your loved ones are right behind you. Retreating simply means pushing them into the mouths of these filthy undead. Charge with me, we must clear a path through these Brutal Sword Death Servants!” Captain Lowar led a team of fearless Mages and headed for the top.

They knew there was a bunch of cold-blooded Brutal Sword Death Servants tougher than the Poisonous Golden Mummies at the top of the hill. These undead were able to kill without alerting their target, yet if they backed away now, they would be a disgrace to their troop!

Not only were they trying to protect the city, they wanted to accomplish their missions too, to let all the Egyptians know that their troop led by Captain Lower was the bravest, most fearless squad. They were honored to be a part of the troop, a troop that many young women cheered for!

With outstanding morale, the soldiers marched forward!

Mo Fan stood at the top of the hill with a wide grin. His dark brown eyes gave the Brutal Sword Death Servants a challenging look and said, “You aren’t the only one with friends! My backup has arrived!”

It was obvious that Mo Fan no longer needed to run away, as the army had arrived.

“Captain Lowar, there’s someone on the hill…”

“Someone? Strange, did a powerful Mage go ahead and clear the path for us?”

“Captain, he seems to be a member of the Chinese national team. He was fighting against the Brutal Sword Death Servants alone, and has already killed seven of them. I believe you can contact General Fenna and let her bring the rest of the army here. He has already cleared a way through the Brutal Sword Death Servants,” a Mage that went to scout the situation ahead reported.

Scout Mages usually had both the Shadow and Wind Elements. They moved further ahead than the main army, and would probe the terrain, situation, and the position of the demon creatures before the main army arrived.

The scout Mage had been at the top of the hill for quite some time. He had been watching Mo Fan taking on the Brutal Sword Death Servants right from the start.

If the scout Mage was set up against a single Brutal Sword Death Servant, he would be sliced into pieces in mere seconds, let alone be able to take on a whole group of Brutal Sword Death Servants alone!

“What did you just say? He already killed seven of them?” Captain Lowar asked in shock.

The Brutal Sword Death Servants were undead from inside the pyramid. Every undead from inside a pyramid was incredibly strong!

If a pyramid was seen as a palace, the Brutal Sword Death Servants would be the guards patrolling the palace. They were nothing that the undead roaming in the wild could compare to.

Normally, in order to clear a path through the Brutal Sword Death Servants, it was necessary to sacrifice half of a squadron. As such, the troop Captain Lowar was leading was basically a suicide squad!

But now, a single Mage from China had managed to clear a path through the undead, even though they normally needed a whole troop to achieve the same goal!

“General, General Fenna, the path is clear!” Lowar proceeded to report the situation even though he was greatly astounded.

——

On the other hand, General Fenna was shocked too.

Didn’t the troop only leave the main army not long ago? How did they clear the path already?

“Well… didn’t you send the Chinese national team to take care of the Poisonous Golden Mummies? It seems like one of their members got lost. He went up the hill and fought the Brutal Sword Death Servants instead, and has already killed seven of them,” Lowar explained honestly.

Even so, Lowar felt like his words sounded absolutely ridiculous, but he was actually telling the truth. Lowar had just asked Mo Fan why he was there, and the student said he had lost his way…

Lowar clearly sensed the other end falling silent after he finished his sentence. The heavy breathing was implying that General Fenna too was trying her best to digest the news.

A moment later, General Fenna finally said, “Mmm, got it.”

However, Lowar could tell that General Fenna was not being herself. She must be having complicated feelings, too.

Why did the Chinese team have such an undisciplined member, with such ridiculous strength?
