Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 1015 - 881: Raid on the Camp

"Everyone, prepare... go!"

With Kane’s command issued, numerous jets emerged from the tails and backs of the external Power Armors.

Violent energy surged from the jets, carrying powerful thrust, transforming them into shooting stars as they charged towards the enemy’s forward camp.

Leading the charge was Kane’s Morphing Mecha, which he continued to use even when upgraded to multi-color, perfecting it further.

At this moment, the outer armor of the Morphing Mecha was colored black and fiery orange-red, clearly simulating Divine Power from the God of Lava.

The hands of the Morphing Mecha stretched forward, fingers spread, densely packed Magic Runes gathered in his hands, pressed into the air as he advanced.

A sound akin to shattering glass was heard.

A distinct breach appeared in the air, visibly different from the surrounding color.

Kane’s destruction caused a noticeable gap in the enemy’s forward camp’s defense.

The protective shield of the enemy’s forward camp was something they always knew existed, but never dared to probe.

Following Kane’s action, Guild members poured through the gap.

Meanwhile, the two individuals standing atop the church noticed the commotion here.

"Amazing, brother, you guessed it all."

"It’s not guessing, it’s wisdom."

As they spoke, they transformed into silvery light, charging directly at Kane.

Kane was notably famous among the followers of the Deep Light.

Because the Deep Light resented him.

Thus, he earned the title God-Hater.

The Bishops and all the followers still stationed within the camp rushed out, as the destruction of the protective membrane indicated that the enemy was beginning an invasion of the forward camp, unlike Longbei’s previous external ravaging.

Once the camp was breached, even if they survived or repelled the enemy, they would face severe consequences.

Awaiting them were 30 members of the Lantern Guild, wearing a variety of Power Armors, greatly enhanced in strength.

Two silvery beams in the sky collided with the hexagon module in front of Kane.

"God-Hater, are you in such haste to use your soul to repent to the gods?"

A silver-haired man emerged from the light, raised his blade, and shattered the hexagon module before him.

Beside him, his brother, the gray-haired Archbishop, also emerged from the light, flinging a robust silvery energy tentacle.

The Morphing Mecha’s arm opened wide, crushing the incoming tentacle, followed by Kane’s voice.

"Repentance? No, I simply find this camp too bothersome, it needs destruction."

Suddenly, immense magic power erupted from the Morphing Mecha.

The bursting magic power noticeably manifested, pushing away all surrounding air and energy like blue mist.

The mist rapidly engulfed the entire camp in an instant.

However, the magic covering the camp was unstable, repelled by the pervasive Divine Power of the Deep Light.

A large protective shield formed by hexagon modules enveloped them completely.

The ground remained hidden by Mist, while stone pillars emerged from it, where standing was once possible.

Pillars of various sizes rose, differing in height.

In an instant, the entire camp transformed into a steel forest, with everyone hiding within it.

These massive steel pillars are like towering skyscrapers, with hollow spaces inside allowing movement.

Each steel pillar was faintly shrouded in white Mist, effectively weakening enemy perception.

Even within their own forward camp, protected by their deity’s statue, it remained unchanged.

"It’s this annoying terrain manipulation again, brother."

"Be careful, he’s stronger than last time we saw him."

The two of them leaned back-to-back, floating amidst the steel forest.

They remained vigilant against Kane’s sudden attacks.

At this moment, the 30 guild members clad in Power Armors moved effortlessly through the steel forest.

Almost all guild members were required to proficiently fight in the terrain controlled by Kane during training.

In almost every major war, Kane altered the terrain to favor them, granting an advantage in battle.

This steel forest is the prime choice for Kane’s guild to fight outnumbered, where all Guild Explorers trained in such terrain.

The Power Armors worn now enabled them to navigate better in this steel forest.

Diverse mechanical devices were scanning their surroundings even, feeding information to all Power Armors.

The emerging columns were not mere steel supports, they contained mechanical structures.

Constantly probing the surroundings and transmitting intelligence into their Power Armor.

A three-person Bishop squad leaned against a steel pillar, cautiously advancing around them.

Above the Mist, enclosed by steel pillars, a dragon-shaped Power Armor clung atop.

Its eye’s blood-red glow held them in its sights.

The figure swiftly dove downwards.

The red glow from its eye stretched into a long red line.

Five flashes of blades were seen.

The Bishop was sliced entirely, while three guarding followers beside were struck by a massive dragon tail, violently slamming into the adjacent steel pillar.

Unbeknownst to them, sharp spikes suddenly appeared on the smooth walls, pinning them fiercely against it.

Countless bloody holes emerged on their bodies, with blood from within being drawn out by the spikes.

A Bishop squad was eliminated effortlessly like this.

Horhos leapt away, vanishing into the shadows of steel.

This situation manifested everywhere here.

...

Longbei unleashed his lightning recklessly, attacking the enemies before him.

He could already see the steel pillars towering in the enemy camp.

This indicated that Kane and his group had stormed into the enemy camp and were wreaking havoc inside.

Thinking of this, he looked down at a multicolored Archbishop below.

The unfamiliar face and the insufficient strength of the attack suggested a minor character sent for reinforcement.

"Little thing, I’m not in the mood to play with you, get lost."

As he finished speaking, hammer after hammer of lightning crashed down from the skies, each strike accompanied by a storm of lightning bolts.

The Archbishop in front dodged around, but the followers and Bishops who couldn’t react in time met a tragic fate.

They were paralyzed or severely injured.

Out of nowhere, a couple of attacks emerged, intending to claim their lives.

Occasionally, a few tricolor fairy tale elements rushed out from within the mist.

At this moment, a few heavy armored centaur knights, engulfed in black flames, charged from the mist, wielding sharp blades that easily cleaved away unprepared Bishops.

A concentrated black fireball shot forth behind them, landing in the enemy center, and the black flames spread viciously outwards.

Longbei continued to gather thunder hammers, playing a game of whack-a-mole.

Though having no shortcomings at the multicolored level, his potent lightning attacks couldn’t necessarily rank as swift.

Sometimes enemies easily dodged them, but Longbei always prevailed through overwhelming quantity, ensuring enemies couldn’t escape the relentless barrage of lightning.

Clearly today, the Archbishop he encountered had considerable speed and agility.

Just as the Archbishop dodged to the side, evading another falling thunder hammer, a blade burning with black flames slashed across his neck.

He clutched his neck incredulously, eyes wide, looking to the side.

Only to see a head of deep red hair, followed by being enveloped in black flames spewing from his neck, reduced to ashes.

"Kreya, you’re here, have you finished there?" Longbei, seeing his enemy dead, knew Kreya had arrived.

Kreya nodded. "I wreaked havoc around their camp, thought you might need help here, so I came over."

As she spoke, she looked forward at the sky-high steel pillars filling the camp.

"Has Kane already gone inside?"

Longbei nodded.

Then pondered and asked, "Should we go in?"

Upon hearing this, Kreya turned to look at the distant Guild members battling the enemies.

After some thought, she said, "You stay here on defense in case others come to reinforce, I’ll go in alone."

Hearing Kreya’s intention, Longbei nodded.

The battle fluctuations here were remarkably apparent; numerous patrolling enemies outside could probably navigate through the chaotic spaces and return.

Among them could be multicolored ones, although often of lesser quality, still reasonably strong.

Especially since Kane broke the defensive surroundings of the enemy forward camp.

Whether this would guide all enemies, they didn’t know, so caution was advised.

Kreya turned into a streak of fire, flying towards the forest of steel pillars.

At that moment, Kane was intensely battling the Shadow Twins before him.

"You’re alone, and we are two; even if you’re stronger, you can’t do much to the two of us.

Explain, why did you attack the camp this time?"

The silver-haired male evaded a beam shot by Kane, then turned and slashed away sudden spikes as he spoke.

At this moment, the Shapeshifter wrapped his cloak shield with his left hand, blocking several spiraling silver bullets.

Above them, a silver-gray sun had emerged, with six twisted tentacles flowing around it.

Though it was only a phantom, it heavily impacted Kane.

The silver radiance from the massive phantom disrupted Kane’s magic power flow.

It also greatly bolstered the enemies.

Dealing with this phantom was tricky currently, as it was something emitted by a statue.

The statue was surely inside the enemy’s church now.

Without taking down these two, he couldn’t enter to destroy the grandest statue.

Suddenly, the Shapeshifter punched.

A gigantic steel fist swung from behind the silver-haired male, while Kane’s Iron Fist came from the front.

As he was about to dodge to the side.

"Now the numbers are balanced, how about that?"

Kane’s voice suddenly rang out.
