Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The knights behind them spoke in unison! Their voices were deafening, like the approaching dawn!

"Pay close attention to guarding both flanks."

Shek's voice rang out steadily.

The towering thorny walls began to slowly close in, filling the gaps and causing the old thorns to fall off naturally.

The benefit of this was that the thorny high wall was revitalized, but the shortened section could no longer stop the advance of those low-level demon bats. Countless demon bats swept past from both sides and flew towards Kanriel behind them.

However, they couldn't fly very far before the knights' attack from behind came like a storm, blocking the low-level demon bats.

Sheke raised his head and met the gaze of the leader of the seven figures in the air, a demon bat. The sharpness and calmness in his eyes angered the demon bat.

It never expected that its massive army would be halted and unable to conquer a mere human.

Its heart was bleeding as it watched more and more of its kind die.

Having been restrained for thousands of years, the demon bats had gradually lost their spirit. As they watched more and more of their kind die, the thought that "this time we might fail" began to cross their minds.

It roared involuntarily, trying to dispel the cowardice in its heart in this way.

"%…………&&#(Fourth-order, above!!)"

It roared, "Shek can only take care of the seven fifth-tier enemies right now. Once dozens of fourth-tier kin rush in from both sides to the rear, the Knights will be absolutely unable to withstand them."

But it only responded with a few calls.

In its astonishment, it turned around and was utterly shocked to find that most of its four-winged kin had inexplicably disappeared.

A blond man stood on the back of a third-tier demon bat in the distance, his gaze meeting the bat's.

Luo Xiu was surprised that the leading fifth-tier demonic bat would turn around and look at him. He quickly let go of the fourth-tier demonic bat's corpse and threw it to the ground. He put his hands behind his back and gave an embarrassed smile.

Chapter 204 Decisive Battle 4

Luo Xiu's smug smile pierced through the dense swarm of demonic bats, landing in the crimson eyes of the leader bat, where it appeared particularly glaring.

It looked furiously behind Luo Xiu and was shocked to find that all the fourth-tier members of its kind on the path behind Luo Xiu had disappeared.

This damned human actually slaughtered dozens of their fourth-tier kin?!

What happened to the two fifth-tier members of their race that I sent out?!

"%￥￥#@& (What are you two idiots doing?!)"

"%%……%￥# (Haven't you killed him yet after all this time?)"

It roared furiously at the two fifth-tier demonic bats behind Luo Xiu.

"?@|# (He's too fast!!!)"

The two demonic bats behind Luo Xiu hurriedly chirped in response.

They were extremely anxious watching Luo Xiu slaughter his own kind, but for some reason Luo Xiu's speed was getting faster and faster, until they couldn't keep up with him at all and could only keep following him around in circles.

Before they could continue reporting the situation to the leader of the demon bats, Luo Xiu had already moved again.

He was moving as fast as a gust of wind, leaving an afterimage in his wake, and in the next instant he was next to a fourth-tier demonic bat.

He reached out, slapped the ground, withdrew his hand, flicked away the blood, and let the headless fourth-tier demonic bat's corpse fall to the ground. All the movements were fluid and natural.

This was the thirty-first Tier 4 Demon Bat he had killed. Compared to the previous fifteen Tier 4 Demon Bats, he gained another 1600 points to add.

He added 1200 points to speed, and distributed the remaining 400 points evenly among the other attributes.

His main focus was acceleration, which was his improved skill point allocation method, and also the reason why the two fifth-tier demon bats couldn't catch up with him.

When 1200 points were added to speed, his speed reached 3100 points. However, a fifth-tier demon bat weakened by the Weakening Spell could never reach a speed of 3100 points.

Therefore, all the fourth-tier demonic bats in the sky at this moment have become points that Luo Xiu can easily pick, just waiting for him to harvest them.

The next second, he moved again.

The leading fifth-tier demonic bat was furious and secretly alarmed as it watched Luo Xiu kill another fourth-tier member of its kind in an instant.

It could tell that Luo Xiu's speed wasn't actually fast, but after they were weakened by that inexplicable power, they were indeed unable to catch up. This meant that this human alone could kill all the remaining members of their race.

"%#!!!"

It uttered the dirtiest curse word in their language.

"；：；/（All fourth-order retracements!）"

It began to command its fourth-tier kin to retreat. With Luo Xiu present, these fourth-tier kin were no longer able to play a role, so it was better to preserve their fighting strength as much as possible.

But to his surprise, when the fourth-tier demonic bats began to retreat, Luo Xiu actually followed them! And his speed far exceeded the retreating speed of the fourth-tier demonic bats!

What does this mean? Are they trying to wipe out all of our fourth-tier allies?!

Enraged, it summoned the fourth-tier demon bats back once more.

Then, Luo Xiu followed!

During this process, Luo Xiu killed two more fourth-tier demon bats.

"Damn it, you despicable, lowly human! Do you have any dignity left as a fifth-order being?!"

The lead bat panicked and started speaking the language of the Gran Continent. Its roar echoed through the sky, mixed with the sharp screech of the bats, causing many low-ranking knights hiding behind the Thorn Wall to turn pale and feel dizzy.

But Luo Xiu ignored everything and just kept attacking the fourth-tier demon bats. The two fifth-tier demon bats behind him had no chance against him and failed to catch him even after several attempts to attack from both sides.

If we want to block Luo Xiu's path, the only option now is to send more fifth-tier demon bats to surround him.

In an instant, only two paths remained before the leader of the demonic bats.

Either let Luo Xiu kill the fourth-tier demon bats, gather the power of all the fifth-tier demon bats to kill the exhausted Sheke first, and then find a way to deal with Luo Xiu.

Alternatively, send more demon bats to surround Luo Xiu first, leaving Xie Ke aside and letting him burn his last bit of magic power.

Both methods seemed feasible. After much deliberation, the leading demon bat waved its hand and decided to proceed with the first method.

He had a premonition that their inexplicable weakness was probably the work of this damned blond human.

In an instant, four more demonic bats joined the pursuit of Luo Xiu. Unless Luo Xiu quickly moved away from the battlefield in a straight line, he would be completely blocked by the six demonic bats.

Meanwhile, the three demon bats, including the lead demon bat, continued to deal with the bombardment of thorns summoned by Shek.

They are no longer in a hurry to break through.

The losses in this battle have far exceeded their expectations.

If their initial goal was to break through Kanriel as quickly as possible, their thoughts have now shifted to how to win this battle.

If Luo Xiu is allowed to continue to slaughter their fourth-tier kin, the very possibility of winning this battle will be in question!

If they lose to a force of ten thousand against two, the consequences will be no less severe than the slaughter of their entire clan.

At that time, the tragedy of the mushroom monster from a thousand years ago may be repeated.

With this in mind, the lead demon bat became even more cautious, observing Shek's every move as closely as possible and patiently waiting for Shek's magic power to run out.

Sheke watched all this unfold, and his fingers began to tap faster, causing the thorns to surge forth even more violently. Combined with the surging elemental tide, he tried to break through the three demonic bats' obstruction to save Luo Xiu.

The leader of the demon bats grinned. Shek's actions proved that he had made the right choice; that blond young man definitely had a secret.

If they can take him down, they will definitely win this battle.

Faced with Shek's surging offensive, it remained calm and led the other two demon bats to block it with all their might. These two of its kind, like it, belonged to the strongest group of fifth-tier demon bats in the cave. At this moment, the three of them took turns rotating their sky-covering fleshy wings, and endless black light burst out, forming a semi-circular barrier that blocked Shek's attack.

In their weakened state, the seven demon bats could gradually destroy the thorn wall summoned by Shek, so Shek naturally couldn't easily break through their defenses.

For a moment, the situation was at a stalemate.

Shek sighed inwardly, but there was nothing else he could do.

At this point, he was nearing the end of his life, and even if he unleashed his full power, he might not be able to break through. Moreover, the drawback of the thorn wall was obvious: it was immobile, which also limited his attack.

Seeing Luo Xiu being rapidly approached by six demonic bats in the sky, Xie Ke only hoped that Luo Xiu could escape quickly.

At Luo Xiu's current speed, escaping the encirclement is not difficult.

The number of demon bats has decreased significantly since the beginning. If Luo Xiu can run to Tata and help them win, he might still have a chance to secure victory.

As for himself, he had already prepared to sacrifice himself from the very beginning.

"Knights, heed my command!"

He spoke slowly, his voice as steady as ever.

"exist!!!"

The crowd behind him responded in unison.

"Begin a slow retreat."

Shek's voice was like a stone thrown into a still lake; before anyone could be surprised, he continued:

"When I unleash my final power, I fear it may harm you. Listen carefully to my commands and be ready to defend Kanriel at any time."

"..."

"..."

The knights remained silent.

It wasn't that they didn't trust Lord Kanriel, who sat atop the high wall, but rather that anyone above the third rank could sense how bad Shek's condition was.

When Shek said he still had "last strength," it was inevitable that everyone would think the worst.

"Are you deaf?! Didn't you hear what Lord Shek said?!"

Baal then spoke, his voice extremely serious as he looked at the knights behind him.

Everyone looked up at Baal, who was sitting on a bone horse. Behind him, the gates of the underworld continued to pour out an army of underworld soldiers. To be honest, not many people in the Knights liked this chief vice-commander. Baal's personality was really not very likable.

But when this battle came, everyone had to admit that Baal was a qualified chief deputy commander.

A few seconds later, the voices of the Knights resounded through the sky.

"Yes!!!"

The group began to retreat slowly, but some stayed behind.

Milair walked a distance along the wall of thorns and stopped, looking out at the distant sky through the gaps in the thorns.

There was no reason for her to leave her master on the battlefield while she retreated alone, and she believed that Luo Xiu would not lose.
