The surrounding withered trees were eerie and menacing, and the graves had long since collapsed, their broken tombstones mottled and blurred, the inscriptions illegible.

Kayle unleashed a blazing light, but its reach was very limited, and the radiance of the Life Rune was somewhat affected. There was no doubt that there were Death Rune.

"Watch out, he's getting close!" Nasus warned.

"You defeated wretch! I've come back for you!" Renekton roared.

Before the words were even finished, a series of ghostly figures rushed over. We immediately scattered to make it easier for the big fight to begin!

The number of ghosts increased, and several Ascended activated their ascension forms. Varus hovered low in the sky, working with Djis to gather intelligence on the battlefield.

Renekton and Oken kept charging forward, eager to find Yorick and tear him to pieces!

Nasus and I received intelligence while observing the situation, and occasionally provided cover for the two of us in battle. Our overall coordination was very smooth!

As for Kayle and Morgana, although they possess great power, they have never participated in battle and have only been releasing it randomly. However, they can still protect themselves against ghosts and imps, so we don't need to worry about them.

I believe that after a few more battles, they will be able to help!

As we delve deeper, the undead become increasingly powerful and intelligent, and the same attacks can eliminate fewer and fewer of them.

Renekton and Oken's advance slowed down, at which point I joined the battle, leaving Nasus to coordinate and command.

It's been a long time since I've had a satisfying battle since defeating Jhin and Yerlanriel. In fact, that last battle wasn't very exciting either, since that duo were both agile and evasive. In the end, it was Ryze who took care of them.

The Shadow Isles originally very peaceful, and this graveyard was even more gloomy and silent, but my Wind Element Strength brought it to life.

The battlefield is now a convergence of five powerful elemental forces: light, darkness, death, life, and wind. Four of these forces originate from the World Rune, making their power immense!

My arrival accelerated the advance once again. Utilizing the agility of the Wind Sword, I constantly darted among the undead, unleashing powerful area-of-effect attacks. Weaker enemies were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Even the powerful undead have Renekton and Oken to deal with them; their Golden Light scimitars and Warhammer are incredibly powerful, and few enemies can withstand a single slash or hammer blow.

Because of the power of the Life Rune, the undead cannot be resurrected after we kill them. Gradually, the number of undead decreased, and our enemies turned into monsters with physical forms.

Although they are called monsters, they are still humanoid, except that they all walk on all fours, their eyes are two black holes, and their tongues are extremely long. If you are licked, a black mark will be left on your body, and your muscles will ache slightly.

At that moment, Nasus sent a message: "This is the smell of decay, very similar to some kind of magic I possess. Being exposed to it will damage muscles, and prolonged exposure will lead to muscle necrosis. Minimize contact as much as possible."

After hearing this, Renekton and Oken shrunk in size, otherwise even with their superb martial arts skills, they would inevitably be licked. I don't care, but I'm much more careful after being attacked once.

This further limited our speed of movement, and Djis joined the battle, thrusting his spear into the enemy ranks, charging left and right with agility and unpredictability.

After the licking monsters were cleared away, the surroundings became much quieter. At this time, Varus sent a message saying that our rear road was blocked by many undead, but Camille's second team had arrived, so there was no immediate worry about our rear.

As we reached the depths of the cemetery, a sudden gust of evil wind swept in, and the surrounding black Black Mist shifted, giving rise to several more blind, long-tongued monsters. Unlike the previous monsters, they did not rush up to lick people, but instead spewed black poisonous mist from their mouths.

The poisonous fog was a darker color than the surrounding Black Mist, barely distinguishable. I used the Wind Force to shield it, providing cover for the group to rush forward.

Just as Renekton and his group rushed towards the long-tongued monster, a wall suddenly rose up, separating us and cutting off my Wind Force protection.

The long-tongued monster spewed out more poisonous mist, pouring it into the wall and forming a lid at the exit above, like pickling vegetables in a jar.

Nasus and I tried to rush over to help, but Yorick stopped us. He emerged from underground like a wall, with scars on his head from when Nasus slashed him.

Varus told us to focus on dealing with Yorick, and to leave the task of destroying the walls and the poisonous fog barrier to him; in fact, we've already begun.

Yorick is a warrior-type mage who, in addition to summoning undead and manipulating the surrounding terrain to create protective walls, is also quite capable in melee combat.

A shovel flew up and down, stirring up a whooshing sound of death in the surroundings. The sturdy body was covered in tattered clothes, and its defensive capabilities were on a completely different level than before.

Nasus and I stopped our reckless attacks. He focused on dealing with Yorick's death magic, while I rushed forward to unleash my Wind Blade.

Yorick was almost twice my height, with thick, powerful limbs, but very poor agility.

I kept cutting into his skin, slowly penetrating deep into his muscle. The Wind Force, carrying the breath of life, rushed in, causing him great pain.

At that moment, Yorick leaped into the air and onto the wall, using his shovel to block Varus's powerful arrow, rolling over in the process.

Even while fighting us, this guy didn't forget to observe Varus's movements. Since he was doing everything he could to protect the wall, it means the wall is very important to him.

In other words, Renekton and his group inside the walls might be affected by the poisonous fog and fall under Yorick's control!

Nasus realized as well. "This is probably an ancient secret technique; we need to destroy the walls first!"

"You hold him off, Varus and I will break down the wall together!"

I ascended to a low altitude, unable to fly too high due to the Black Mist, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see what was below.

Varus was gathering his strength for his second shot, and I was in a similar situation, using the Wind Form to condense a powerful Wind Spear in preparation for a thrust.

We quickly charged up. "Launch together, he can't defend against it!"

"Okay!" Varus agreed.

Powerful beams of light Wind Spear, imbued with the Life Force, pierced down. Yorick, tightly entangled by Nasus, could only summon imps to block them, but to no avail!

The Life Force gradually neutralized the death barrier on the wall, the wind carried away the stubborn poisonous fog, and the undefendable light arrows shot directly into the wall, cracking it open!

Renekton and his companions struggled to break free of their restraints, sending fragments of the wall flying like a vase exploding.

"They actually broke my Lost Incense Burner, but that's enough!"

After fighting for so long, this is the first time I've heard Yorick speak.
