Chapter 65: Mystic Realm Gate

Jichen stood on a boulder, closely monitoring the battle.

At times, he commanded the Sea Pixies to focus their attacks on the tougher black skeletons and skeleton hounds, easing the pressure on rhe Naga Warriors and pirates.

Several skeletal eagles swooped down, flapping their bone wings, attempting aerial assaults.

However, they were frightened away by the tridents of the Murloc warriors and could only hover from a distance.

Un this narrow stretch of land, only slightly over fifty meters wide, the two sides engaged in intense combat.

Une side had fewer numbers but stood resolute like a towering mountain.

The other side swarmed like ants, in staggering numbers, attempting to break through the mountain s defenses.

At this moment, Jichen and his comrades were like the three hundred Spartan warriors defending the Thermopylae Pass, repelling the relentless tide of skeletons.

The corpses of fallen skeletons gradually piled up, forming a bone hill that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Jichen focused his attention on the battle, furrowing his brow suddenly.

He sensed that something was amiss.

Why were the reinforcements consisting mostly of low-level white skeletons? Where were the higher-ranking skeletons that were initially mixed in, such as the black skeletons and skeleton hounds?

The overwhelming sea of skeletons that had emerged before was now mostly a pale mass.

Not only that, the skeletal eagles that had been menacingly circling in the sky had landed on treetops, silently observing without any intention of attacking.

Something was off.

Very off 1

These skeletons were being commanded by someone!

They’re trying to exhaust our troops* stamina and mana by utilizing the weakest and largest number of white skeletons!

lichen’s heart sank. Could it be a player?

Quickly, he made up his mind,

Although he didn’t know what the opponent’s intentions were, if they wanted to drag the battle, he wouldn’t play along.

The best defense is a strong offense!

With this thought in mind, he shouted loudly, “Advance’1‘

The Sea Pixies used water arrows to blast through the mountains of white bones.

The Naga Warriors acted like bulldozers, steadily pushing back the sea of skeletons.

With a methodical approach, they advanced several hundred meters, slaying a large number of white skeletons.

Suddenly, every skeleton’s body trembled slightly, their soul fires flickering in their eye sockets.

Simultaneously, they turned around and rushed towards the second island, racing past the Naga Warriors despite their pursuit. They quickly disappeared into the ruins and forests.

’’They’re retreating, sir,” Alice said softly.

lichen’s expression grew serious. He halted the troops and nodded, saying, “It seems they realized their plan was exposed, so they chose to concentrate their forces.”

“All units remain in place and rest, replenishing stamina and mana. We ll launch the final battle when the time comes!”

He knew that the upcoming battle would be even more challenging.

Apart from the still abundant white skeletons, the numbers of black skeletons and Netherfire Skeleton Hound are expected to far exceed the previous encounters.

What worried him even more was the absence of a certain type of skeleton monster, wielding bone staves, that clearly belonged to the spellcasting category.

While the Naga Warriors were skilled at withstanding physical attacks, their performance might not be as impressive when facing magical assaults.

It wasn’t the frontal confrontation with these spellcasters that concerned him the most, but rather their ability to hide in the shadows and launch unexpected attacks.

That would be a headache indeed.

The Omniscience map could only display rhe enemy’s positions but not their specific types.

Jichen had to rely on the density and locations of the red dots to deduce the most likely spots where these spellcasters might be hiding.

As they advanced, regardless of whether those spots actually held enemies, he decided to bombard those areas.

Adapt with tactics when resources are limited, and annihilate if given the chance.

With the upgraded Sea Pixies, he had rhe confidence to do so.

“Sir, should I assist immediately afterward?” Alice asked softly by his side.

Jichen pondered for a moment and shook his head, saying, “Your mana can only sustain for about ten minutes against such a large number of skeletons. Save it for crucial moments and act according to my command.”

“I understand.”

Once all units had rested and recovered, with a single command, they boldly advanced towards the direction of the second island, marching in formation.

When they were only about 150 meters away, Jichen raised his arm, signaling the troops to halt.

He commanded the Sea Pixies to fire a round of water arrows at a few suspicious places.

The dense forest and ruins were soon destroyed.

Branches and leaves flew everywhere, and rocks shattered.

“Ding ~ You have killed a group of Skeleton Archers (Tier 2, 7-Star).”

Well, it seemed that the desired spellcasting skeleton monsters hadn’t appeared, but by chance, they stumbled upon a group of skeleton archers.

It was still a satisfactory outcome.

The second-tier 7-star skeleton archers might not be able to harm the Naga Warriors and shallow water murlocs but the elite pirates and murloc ranger might not come out unscathed.

With this in mind, Jichen waved his hand, signaling the Sea Pixies to unleash three rounds of arrow rain, completely covering those areas.

Only when there were no more system prompts did he wave his hand again, indicating the army to continue moving forward.

following the map’s instructions, they cleared scattered white skeletons that charged at them while making their way towards the densely populated central area of the island, marked by the dense clusters of red dots.

Passing through the outskirts of the woods and the ruins, Jichen soon penetrated deeper into the island and came across a large group of waiting skeletons gathered in a clearing.

There was also a red vortex floating on the ground.

The vortex had a diameter of about ten meters, spinning continuously towards the center with flickering red lightning on its surface, exuding an unsettling aura.

Could this thing be the source of these skeleton monsters’ appearances?

He squinted his eyes and read the description:

[Mystic Realm Gate)

I Scale): Small

[Type]: ‘Two-way teleportation gate

| Description):

The current portal is unstable and cannot be accessed by creatures of Tier 3, 6 stars or above. The number of units passing through is limited to 110001 per solar day.

It will stabilize and no longer restrict the entry and exit of creatures based on their tier and quantity after 121 solar days.

Interrupting the energy supply will I close! the Mystic Realm Gate, and permanently destroying the energy core will [permanently close] the Mystic Realm Gate,

It turned out to be a Mystic Realm Gate?

Jichen’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

The Mystic Realm Gate was a special teleportation gate in this world, or rather, in the game “Lord of Glory”,

It connected to the Mystic Realms.

In simple terms, if we considered the main world as a large sphere, the Mystic Realms would be like small spheres surrounding the main world in astronomical numbers.

Due to certain reasons, a connection was formed between the main world and the Mystic Realms.

At this point, the Mystic Realm Gate served as the channel linking the two.

Each Mystic Realm had its own stable ecosystem, with its own rules, resembling a miniature world.

Some were grasslands with abundant flowers and plants, while others were barren and harsh volcanic realms. There were also ocean realms with azure seas and blue skies.

The variety was vast.

However, one common point was that they all held coveted and thrilling opportunities.

Some Mystic Realms produced rare resources not commonly found in the main world, while others yielded recruitment cores for high-tier units. There were also realms that produced naturally formed treasures.

Obtaining a Mystic Realm was akin to gaining access to a treasure trove waiting to be developed.

Of course, opportunities and dangers coexisted.

The Mystic Realms were inhabited by various creatures and races.

Some of the native inhabitants were friendly, and trade and resource acquisition was possible.

But there were those who viewed intruders as invaders and held hostility towards them.

Furthermore, there were both one-way and two-way Mystic Realm Gates connecting to the Mystic Realms.

The vortex emitting an ominous aura before them was evidently a two-way Mystic Realm Gate.

And its inhabitants, the group of skeletal monsters, clearly belonged to the extremely unfriendly type.

They had already begun invading the main world in the opposite direction.

Jichen couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had discovered the situation in time. Otherwise, if he had delayed for another two days, this Mystic Realm Gate would have completely stabilized. Countless skeletons would have surged out, engulfing the entire archipelago.

It was fortunate that he could mend the sheep pen even though the sheep had already scattered.

As long as he dealt with these skeletal monsters today, everything would still be salvageable!
