Better Death Than a Dishonorable Life

Support capabilities are the skills that the Defender awaken in the Fourth Stage.

This skill is designed to save your companions from dangerous situations.

Linsey and the others were pulled to a very high position by this force. After they regained their balance, they felt a violent fluctuation of Essence coming from below! Snap! Linsey and his group stopped in the middle of the tunnel.

Ethan's strength was insufficient to completely remove them from this dangerous area, but it had already created some distance between them and the combat zone below.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Damn it!

The fastest and most intense reaction came from Red.

The girl slammed the Wood Poison Javelin in her hand into the ground, her ruby-like eyes flashing with endless fury.

"Linsey, let's go back!"

"How could we let him face the battle alone!"

Linsey readily drew her weapon.

The enemy is indeed very strong, and it would be absolutely unwise to turn back and start fighting now.

But the Essence will that was surging strongly within him was also telling Linsey that he absolutely did not want his companions to sacrifice themselves and then run away!

The two, one after the other, were about to rush back to support Ethan.

But at that moment, it was Bo Gong who rushed over. Unable to hold back Red, who was furthest away, the mediator stood in front of Linsey:

"Mr. Linsey, we can't waste the opportunity that A Hui fought for!"

Linsey's footsteps never stop:

"Isn't his name Ethan?"

"Ethan is his surname, and Hui is his first name!" Bo Gong quickly replied, his expression becoming even more urgent. "Mr. Linsey, we must remain calm now!"

"That guy just now was clearly a Sixth Stage expert."

"How could we possibly defeat such an enemy?"

Linsey shook her head:

"Staying here and hiding like an ostrich—does that mean you'll see the future?"

Bo Gong continued to dissuade him, "But..."

Just then, the mediator stopped trying to persuade him.

Linsey and Red, who were rushing through the tunnel, also stopped at this moment.

Because right there in the tunnel, a shadow suddenly emerged from the wall. Dark Abyss, who had just been dragged below by Ethan, calmly strode out, his dark eyes serenely surveying the group:

"The weak cannot escape."

"Hmph—it's not certain who'll run away!"

The next second, Hong's voice rang out in the tunnel.

With her intimidation, a powerful Withering Power immediately locked onto Dark Abyss, while the spear that the girl had conjured in her hand was simultaneously launched.

"Owner!"

Dark Abyss's expression changed instantly.

Just now, whether it was Linsey or Ethan, he dared to reach out and directly touch their weapons, and then use his own skills to wear down their strength.

But what about the Extinction Crown...?

Dark Abyss was so familiar with his opponent that he dared not be careless under these circumstances.

At the same time the spear was thrown.

Dark Abyss's figure vanished into the darkness in an instant, disappearing from the spot, only to reappear in another dark shadow in the tunnel in the blink of an eye, his eyes filled with admiration and wonder:

"A puppet born from a corpse can actually master such skills."

"As expected of my lord's body... Hmm!"

Suddenly, Dark Abyss's body paused.

A sharp pain shot through his chest; the power of death was eroding his body!

Dark Abyss turned his head and looked into the distance. The spot where he had just been standing had been blasted into a dent and crack by the spear that Red had thrown.

He completely avoided this attack.

But contrary to common sense, the grayish-white Withering Power was also entwining his chest, eroding his body!

Even though they have already conceptually abandoned the mortal body.

But this power still poses a threat to Dark Abyss and continues to erode his body!

"This is... Death Sentence?!"

Dark Abyss recalled the loud shout that Hong had made before launching her attack.

He immediately realized that this was a technique once used by the Extinction Crown — Guaranteed Hit hit attack that altered cause and effect! "How is this possible?"

"Even this skill, so deeply rooted in the soul, can be reproduced... Ah!"

Another arrow shot out from behind the Dark Abyss.

Linsey and Red's tacit understanding meant they didn't need to communicate at all during battle.

As the Dark Abyss shifted to the other side through the shadows, revealing a look of astonishment, Linsey nocked her bow again and launched an attack on the enemy.

As expected, Dark Abyss, in a state of shock and sudden change of environment, was unable to cope as calmly as before.

Linsey's arrow finally broke through the opponent's defenses, piercing his heart directly in his back.

"Humans!"

It was hit by two attacks in a row.

As the power eroded, excruciating pain immediately appeared on Dark Abyss's body.

He immediately activated his technique, using the pure power of the Chaos Domain to devour all the Essence that was eroding him. "Since you are so stubborn..."

"Then I'll show you what the true power of a strong person is!"

Hong let out a sneer.

Without hesitation, she concentrated her Essence, her graceful figure curving into an arc, and all her power condensed into a brand-new javelin projection.

Click—

The ground beneath their feet was even cracked by the red power, and the fully concentrated projection was now shrouded in a grayish-white Withering Power, with red and black lightning faintly flashing on its surface! On the other side, Linsey remained silent.

He drew his bow again, quietly changed the items in his Equipment Slot, and aimed the arrow, which gleamed with a black light, at the enemy in front of him.

"Go to hell and tell your master these things!"

A gun and an arrow shot towards the Dark Abyss in an instant, their powerful Essence even causing the air to roar!

As enemies.

This awakened being from the ancient Abyss Faction was completely unafraid.

Darkness flashed in the Dark Abyss's eyes, and the power of Linsey and Red's attacks began to weaken in mid-air.

at the same time.

Endless black mist began to emerge from the Dark Abyss, immediately rampaging and spreading throughout the tunnel.

You don't even need to touch it.

Negative and pessimistic emotions gradually accumulate in the air.

The negative energy of the Chaos Dominator was about to engulf Linsey and the others in the pitch-black despair in the blink of an eye!

boom--

A powerful hurricane suddenly appeared.

Both sides were on high alert during the battle, but neither expected that a storm would suddenly appear in the enclosed underground! This force was so powerful that it was irresistible.

Everyone's bodies were immediately lifted up by the strong wind, flying erratically in the air, and even controlling their position was a luxury.

"..."

Linsey happened to be somewhat familiar with this power.

Because it is neither the Dark Abyss before our eyes, nor the power of the Revivalist.

Rather, it's a powerful force belonging to Dragon Beast, evolved from the airflow manipulation talent of the Lizard Dragon Clan! "Dragon Beast?"

Linsey looked stunned and immediately prepared to lay stones around her to stabilize her position.

But he had only just taken the materials out of his bag.

The Dark Abyss's furious voice rang out amidst the strong, chaotic wind:

"Crawler, you won't succeed!"

brush--

The next second, a second unparalleled Essence power began to erupt.

Darkness instantly enveloped the entire space.

Everyone lost their bearings, and the surrounding soil, rocks, and tunnels all disappeared.

They seemed to have entered a realm separate from the Real World! Aside from darting around aimlessly in the still-violent air currents, there was almost nothing else they could do!
