However, since the Death Avatar had already been released, Gu Xi couldn't say anything and could only let the Death Avatar plow the enemy's side again.

Then Gu Xi turned around and issued a new order.

"After three waves of attacks from the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage, Arroyo strikes!"

Under Gu Xi's command, the Undead Army behind him launched an attack.

Among the newly summoned undead, there are no Skeleton Archer or Skeleton Mage, so these two unit types remain unchanged.

Their attack followed the Death Avatar, giving the spot where the Weird Spearman had been standing one last thorough cleaning.

Arroyo then led his Spearmen unit forward.

Also charging out were the Undead Army that had just been summoned.

Apart from a portion of the undead that were quickly incorporated into the army due to their suitability for the troop type, the rest of the undead were simply left to Gu Xi freely.

They were immediately released and charged towards the completely bewildered enemy.

At this moment, where the Death Avatar had passed, the molten metal turned Blazing Red again as it was rekindled, and the Death Avatar's Spark Nightmare Shadow began to absorb the heat from the metal.

But something unexpected happened to Gu Xi.

Because the heat was absorbed, these metals cooled down rapidly.

Contrary to Gu Xi's expectations, they were not completely sucked into the black mist that Death Avatar.

This situation surprised Gu Xi somewhat.

But if it wasn't sucked away, then it wasn't sucked away. It's already merged into a large area, so it must be completely dead.

Looking at the metal slick scattered all over the ground, Gu Xi felt somewhat worried.

However, seeing his Undead Army charging through the metal to the rear and fighting the Black Robe Cultist without causing any problems, Gu Xi naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Black Robe Cultist behind them weren't much different, except there were more of them.

However, their levels are roughly between 3 and 5.

Their vitality wasn't extremely strong either; they were only led by a chieftain and didn't even have a Hero.

As they charged behind the Weird Spearman, the red dragon plowed through them right at the tail flames of its breath.

This didn't burn them to death.

But the Death Avatar that followed rekindled the flames that were about to go out on their bodies.

The Black Robe Cultist was about to be burned to death, was burned again, and the Death Avatar took the opportunity to engulf the burning Black Robe Cultist into the black mist.

Only then did the Spark Nightmare Shadow, the Death Avatar, become normal.

Slowly, a bright red ghostly figure appeared in the dark clouds.

They hovered around the embodiment of Death Avatar like satellites, and each time they flew to the edge of the dark cloud, they seemed to want to break free, but they could not, and could only scream and wail there.

This situation is even more terrifying than the previous black mist, and even more so than the black mist amplified by the Crystal Dust Storm.

However, for Gu Xi, this was what a true Spark Nightmare Shadow should be like. If it couldn't even do this, then what kind of Nightmare would it be?

After the Death Avatar charged past, the Undead Army behind it attacked.

Arroyo's troops moved very quickly, and by the time they reached this area, the number of Black Robe Cultist was already quite small.

Without a second thought, the Spearmen thrust their Long Spear forward. The Black Robe Cultist, who had just survived the attack of flames, had no chance to resist when surrounded by a Spear Forest.

These Black Robe Cultist were stabbed to the ground before they could even raise their knives, and then several more shots took their lives.

The last undead to arrive on their own only had time to clean up the battlefield; they didn't even have a chance to finish off the remaining enemies.

For them, this trip was almost entirely in vain.

After fighting their way to the City Gate Aryadovi Tower, Gu Xi finally received a new notification.

[Ding! Temporary Task: The Core of Change has changed. Two waves of enemies have been defeated. The Third Wave will appear in 15 minutes. Please prepare for battle.]

Hearing this voice, Gu Xi nodded in satisfaction.

"Clean up the battlefield, then retreat quickly to prepare for the next battle."

Although the fight went quite smoothly this time, Gu Xi down.

Such a large strategic Fortress couldn't possibly have only this many troops; the most difficult battle is probably going to be fought in the Third Wave.

In fact, Gu Xi had no idea that there was a reason why his two waves of attacks went so smoothly.

The initial force of over three thousand troops was merely a prelude; each wave actually contained a boss.

If they focus all their efforts on dealing with the strange creatures during the first wave and fail to notice the sacrifice of the Black Robe Cultist, then a powerful Strange Creature will eventually be unleashed.

If it weren't for the Death Avatar's attack in the second wave, the molten metal would have reassembled into a powerful metal creature.

That's what makes these two waves of attacks so terrifying.

As a result, Gu Xi was completely unaware of anything and was directly defeated.

That's why they wondered why the enemy was so weak, and even thought that all their strength was concentrated in the last wave of attack.

So after the notification sound appeared, Gu Xi did not waste any more mana to summon souls, except to arrange for his men to clean up the battlefield. Instead, he looked up at the sky and wondered which Aryadovi Tower would fall next.

Looking up for a moment, Gu Xi was puzzled because none of the five Aryadovi mirror images above reacted.

He looked around, puzzled, and suddenly noticed that in one of the towers of Aryadovi Tower, at the highest window, two dead-fish-eyed noble boys were holding hands and looking at him.

Even though he was a necromancer with level 6 Undead Knowledge, Gu Xi was still getting creeped out by their stares.

But Gu Xi didn't have time to pay attention to those things right now. He still needed to keep an eye on the other Aryadovi Tower in the sky. At the very least, he needed to know where the enemy came from and how to position himself.

This time, we gained a huge advantage by positioning ourselves well. If things go smoothly again next time, this Temporary Task will be considered complete.

Just then, all the Aryadovi Tower Mirror Image in the sky flashed, and then a large number of crows flew out of Aryadovi Tower.

These crows rushed towards them at a considerable speed. Upon seeing this, Gu Xi quickly ordered, "Everyone, prepare for battle! Corpse Poison Fly, Gargoyle, and Red Dragons, take flight! Death Avatar, block all the crows in the sky!"

When Gu Xi gave the order, the first batch of crows had already rushed to this floor. Only then did Gu Xi realize that they were similar to the crows in the Victoria Tower, all the size of Golden Eagle.

As it charged downwards, its sharp beak pointed directly at the crowd on the ground, seemingly intending to wipe out Gu Xi's men as soon as possible.
