Chapter 288: Seeing the Rock Magic Beast Again, Mountain Behemoth!

Chapter 288: Reencountering the Rock Demon Beast, The Mountain Peak Behemoth!

When the elder recognized the Minotaur's identity, he was utterly shocked, filled with disbelief.

In his impression, the Minotaur undead ought to have been suppressed beneath the Elemental Tower.

How did it emerge?

He suddenly recalled the explosion sound transmitted from the direction of the Elemental Tower earlier.

Could that have been the noise of the Minotaur undead escaping confinement?

He felt a wisp of fear.

If this Minotaur undead wished to unleash slaughter, no one present could currently withstand it.

The opponent was acclaimed as the strongest sixth-rank undead.

It was the legendary Lich's proudest creation.

Also known as the Mage Slayer!

Fortunately, after withstanding the Magic Light Cannon, the Minotaur undead took no further action.

The crowd could only watch helplessly as the bone bridge they had so hard won to destroy restored itself.

Li Wei's gaze hardened, and he strode purposefully toward the bone bridge.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Anthony shouted loudly.

Li Wei replied loudly, "We cannot allow the bone bridge to recover; we must destroy the bone bridge!"

"But we have already exerted our utmost; there is no solution."

"No, there remains one final method."

Li Wei raised the Glory Magic Cannon in his hand.

"Contained within is the Sun Core, possessing an overwhelmingly suppressive effect against undead."

"Detonating the Sun Core can shatter the bone bridge!"

The Glory Stone originally housed in the prototype machine had been dismantled to craft other Glory Magic Cannons.

The original Sun Core was reinstalled within the prototype machine.

This was also the crucial factor allowing Li Wei, wielding the Glory Magic Cannon, to easily sever the bone bridge.

The Glory Magic Cannon equipped with the Sun Core wielded significantly greater power.

Upon hearing this, Anthony shouted loudly, "Cover Li Wei!"

The Minotaur Arno could not fly; after blocking the Magic Light Cannon, he descended to the ground.

His wounded arm was gradually regenerating.

He spotted Li Wei running toward him.

"What shall we do?"

He asked Savinia.

Savinia standing beside him resembled a small doll, barely taller than his knees.

Her figure was swallowed by the countless skeleton monsters, rendering her invisible.

Savinia hesitated briefly before saying, "We should flee; I sense something ominous."

She felt a tremendous crisis drawing near.

Hearing this, Arno turned and strode away.

Savinia hurriedly pursued him, "Wait for me."

Boom!

The undead obstructing Li Wei were swept clean by magic, leaving the path unimpeded.

The man in black robes hovering in mid-air glanced down at Li Wei, disregarding his actions.

The man in black robes was wholly focused on controlling the bone bridge, lacking time to attend to Li Wei.

He observed Li Wei hurl the large black rod in his hand toward the bone bridge, feeling somewhat puzzled.

What was he attempting?

Suddenly, he perceived a shock striking directly at the soul.

The man in black robes fixed his gaze tightly on the Glory Magic Cannon Li Wei had cast forth.

From it, he sensed an exceedingly terrifying power.

That power was rapidly expanding, erupting.

Boom! Bang!

The Sun Core within the Glory Magic Cannon was detonated by Li Wei.

Instantly, a white-golden scorching sun manifested at the edge of the floating city, burning fiercely, incinerating all things.

Under the illumination of the white-golden sun, the soul flames of clusters of undead extinguished, and they collapsed powerless.

The man in black robes in mid-air cried out in agony, lost his strength, plummeted from a hundred meters high, black smoke billowing from his body.

Arno leaped down from the edge of the floating city, seized the man in black robes who was grievously wounded after close-range exposure to the Sun Core, and fell toward the ground.

Boom!

The bone bridge collapsed entirely.

Once the radiance of the Sun Core dissipated, Li Wei observed a semi-circular smooth aperture appearing in the bone bridge.

The portion enveloped by the Sun Core had been completely vaporized, reduced to flying ash.

The power of the Sun Core was even more horrifying than the Glory.

Merely the diffused brilliance carried an intensely potent purification effect, capable of easily snuffing out the soul flames of skeleton monsters; unprotected soul flames could scarcely withstand the radiance of the Sun Core.

Even Li Wei, at the instant the Sun Core erupted, felt the light pierce into his heart, as though intending to penetrate the soul.

Li Wei gazed downward.

Numerous skeleton monsters within the bone bridge endured the Sun Core irradiation, their soul flames extinguished, losing strength.

Countless skeletons scattered from within the bone bridge like sand grains, falling from a hundred meters high.

The colossal bone bridge scattered like toy blocks.

Li Wei turned his head to view Arno who had jumped from the floating city.

Savinia clutched his horns, screaming in terror amidst the air.

Arno gripped a soft, slime-like mass in his left hand, and the man in black robes scooped from mid-air in his right hand.

Descending to the ground from a hundred meters high at an astonishing velocity.

Thud!

It smashed a massive crater into the ground, shattering the surrounding swarm of skeleton monsters.

Arno ignored the heavy casualties among the low-level skeletons, slamming the strange object in his left hand forcefully into the earth.

The moment Morpheus touched the ground, it burrowed deep into the earth.

Rumble!

The earth trembled, gradually arching upward as if a giant beast were rolling over beneath the soil.

Li Wei stood upon the floating city, unable to see the commotion unfolding below.

He only knew that Savinia and the others had escaped the floating city.

Seeing the final bone bridge finally destroyed, everyone let out a great sigh of relief.

"Great, it's finally over!"

The crowd cheered.

Clearing the remaining skeleton monsters on the floating city.

Deprived of endless reinforcements, the remaining skeletons were quickly dealt with.

Yet the elder in charge of defense showed no smile, his expression growing even more grave.

A vague worry lingered in his heart regarding one matter.

The Minotaur Undead had been released.

Then, had the other monster also been set free?

That monster was far more difficult to deal with than the Minotaur Undead.

Although the Minotaur Undead was hailed as the strongest undead of the sixth tier.

But ultimately, it was merely individual strength.

That creature called Morpheus might not match the Minotaur Undead in power, but its threat level far exceeded it.

Even legendary-tier mages found it incredibly troublesome.

Back then, to capture Morpheus, the Elemental Tower expended great effort, spending several years to extract it from within the mountain range.

Morpheus belonged to the race of Rock Demon Beasts.

It held immense utility for the Mage Tower.

Therefore, the Mage Tower chose not to kill it.

Never did they expect it would be released one day.

Knowing this now, it would have been better to kill it back then.

What concerned the Mage Tower even more was how the Legendary Lich turned the Rock Demon Beast into an undead?

Seeing the bone bridge collapse and the undead below fall silent, Li Wei relaxed.

He turned and walked toward the group.

After just two steps, Li Wei saw a vast shadow appear overhead.

Looking up, he saw the people in the distance all displaying terror, staring blankly at the sky behind him.

Li Wei instinctively turned his head.

A mountain peak rose slowly, higher and higher, towering even above the floating city.

The upper region of the peak shook incessantly, rocks tumbling down.

Eyes slowly opened upon the steep cliff face.

The gigantic eyes were fixed directly on Li Wei.

Morpheus stared at Li Wei.

Li Wei froze where he stood.

"What the hell is this damn thing?"

Only when several figures emerged from the mountain peak did Li Wei realize these were enemies before him.

Savinia, Arno, and the man in black stood on the platform at the summit of the peak.

Standing atop the head of the mountain beast.
