What's the difference between the abilities of [ Divine Wings ] and ordinary light?
In the eyes of Grand Duke York, the biggest difference was "unevenness".
Countless ice crystals, large and small, floated above the entire battlefield. The light emitted by the Divine Wings was constantly refracted and reflected, eventually covering every corner of the battlefield.
Even if York exhausted his brain, he could not predict the trajectory of every ray of light at this magnitude.
Compared to when [ Divine Wings ] glow normally, the light across the entire battlefield now looks like glue that was originally evenly applied to every spot has been splashed on without any discernible pattern.
In some locations, the light was indeed slightly dimmer than at the beginning, but even more intense beams of light were also randomly cast down.
In York's eyes, these seemingly harmless beams of light were clearly similar to the red lasers in spy movies; anyone who came into contact with them would be instantly cut in half, resulting in the loss of many lives.
Almost overclocking its escape trajectory, York let out a low growl from the shadows:
"If you don't come out now, I'm going to die!"
He wasn't lying; at most, he exaggerated a little.
After a period of fleeing, York realized something else very terrible—
He couldn't calculate the dispersion and convergence of these lights, but [ the Divine Wings ] could.
Perhaps even the skeleton man couldn't do that, but he could at least guide the ice crystals and beams of light to some extent, causing them to gradually surround his location.
With another skeleton constantly locking onto him and disrupting the connection between his Shadow and other Shadow, the combined attack of these two was putting him at a real disadvantage.
Fortunately, I crippled that murloc with my first strike, otherwise I would have died very quickly fighting three opponents alone.
If I had known there were so many enemies, I wouldn't have agreed to Rosalind's request.
They even said they'd found a way to leave the Demon Realm...
"They've arrived."
At that moment, a hoarse female voice echoed from the void.
The next moment, a worm several times smaller than before burst out of the ground, right in front of York.
"Good timing!"
York cheered inwardly, transforming into a shadowy arrow that shot straight at the Shadow beneath Rosalind, like a drenched chicken finding temporary shelter at a bus stop in the pouring rain.
The newly resurrected Rosalind no longer had the tough scales and sharp teeth that she had before; all that could be seen were mouths brimming with hunger.
At this moment, she was in her weakest state in almost a century, but a long-lost anger and competitive spirit rose in her heart.
Her long period of depravity had not completely stripped her of her humanity; it had merely hidden it away.
Having experienced Incarnation a rain of blood and twice being brought to the brink of death by a single blow from a [ Whale Tail ] in a short period of time, Rosalind's long-dormant bestial nature erupted like never before.
The worm looked at [ Divine Wings ] and Sailesi in the sky with its scarlet eyes, its pair of sharp pincers opened like iron pincers, and a provocative battle roar came from its blood-red maw.
The next moment, Rosalind disappeared underground again like an earthworm.
This isn't some kind of cowardice, but rather a tactical consideration.
Since [ Divine Wings ] and Sailesi had already taken over the sky, Rosalind chose to move the battlefield closer to the ground.
My own army of Blood Corpse has arrived! Today's battle will be filled with an unlimited supply of delicious blood food!
Rosalind Incarnation an earth dragon, churning and surging beneath the ground.
The entire battlefield was once again engulfed in earth-shattering tremors.
Each time she peeks her head out from under the ground, she can instantly devour hundreds of Blood Corpse.
Just like in the pixel game Snake, the Blood Corpse of her own lineage transformed into countless Blood Worm the moment they entered her mouth, then filled every corner of her body as nourishment, becoming a part of Rosalind's body.
Her insect body gradually thickened and lengthened, transforming her back to her peak state at the start of the battle.
If she can return to her peak form, then today's battle will be a sure thing.
After all, with her essentially unharmed, the skeletons had already revealed all their trump cards, and even the fishtail was severely injured, making it impossible for it to participate in the subsequent high-intensity battle.
With that in mind, Rosalind began her hearty meal.
As for York, the Shadow Duke was now lurking in the shadow of Rosalind's massive body.
Although he was just beaten and ran away with his tail between his legs, he was actually not seriously injured.
Now that Rosalind has arrived, the two can work together, one openly and one covertly, to achieve an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
As for Rosalind, she completely ignored York's presence. The moment she revived, the main offensive position had already fallen back to her. As for York... he was just there to assist her.
Of the seven progenitor siblings that Rosalind obtained from the gold coins dropped by the True Ancestor of Vampires, the one that made her least hungry was York, who could blend into the shadows.
This creature has been adept at hiding since its birth, and it can conceal its presence to the lowest possible level once it enters the shadows.
While it's not impossible to eat, if the other siblings are delicious food, then York is like hard-to-swallow wheat porridge.
This was actually one of the prerequisites for Rosalind to reach an agreement with York.
After all, no one can work with a fragrant New Orleans chicken leg without looking smug, unless the chicken leg has gone bad or is just a plastic model.
Above ground.
After York disappeared, [ Divine Wings ] also detached from the "Egg of Light" form, unfolded its six wings again, and waved its hand, directly eliminating all the ice fragments floating in the air.
The ice sculpture containing a large number of Rosalind Blood Worm was completely obliterated, and the blood rain and water curtain in the sky had disappeared. Time on the battlefield seemed to have been turned back to just over ten minutes ago when the battle had just begun.
This time, however, the skeletal councilor who was on high alert was no longer just Sailesi, but him and [ Divine Wings ].
However, their mindsets are quite different from what they were at the beginning:
Not to mention that Sailesi was always ready to submit his resignation or betray his company, [ Divine Wings ] alone has already lost his initial composure.
There are only three reasons for this. First, Grand Duchess Rosalind, who is incredibly stupid by any measure, actually knows how to form alliances!
After [ Nether Crossing ] massacred the dukes under Rosalind's command, given her personality, she should have rushed here without regard for anything, and that was indeed her initial behavior.
But who would have thought that Rosalind had secretly enlisted York as an accomplice?
Secondly, there is the anxiety caused by [ Divine Wings ]'s high position within the Alliance.
Although the Skeleton Alliance is governed by five councilors, it's clear from their codenames that [ Divine Wings ] and [ Crown ] are ranked higher.
