Chapter 371: Chapter 336: The Oriole Behind

In the crowd, an adventurer with twin blades at his waist was the first to lose his patience. He swept his gaze over a few familiar teams nearby and lowered his voice. "There’s only one of that monster. With so many of us charging together, are we really afraid we can’t take it down?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone sneered.

"That monster is clearly at the Golden Tier. Even if all of us go at it together, we’d just be serving ourselves up as its next meal."

"So what do you suggest?"

"If I knew what to do, would I be standing here staring blankly?"

"You..."

The surrounding adventurers fell silent again. Their eyes darted back and forth between the armored Undead monster and the Spiritual Weapons scattered across the ground.

Some repeatedly rubbed their sword hilts, while others licked their chapped lips, but no one actually dared to take the first step. They were complete strangers to one another. No one could guarantee that the person next to them wouldn’t retreat during a chaotic melee, much less bet against someone stabbing them in the back during the confusion. Under these circumstances, hoping to join forces was an absolute pipe dream.

Right then, seven figures suddenly stepped out from the Silver Moon Race’s team. With steady footsteps, they closed in on the Undead monster.

The adventurers froze, their gazes unanimously turning toward the seven silhouettes.

"What are the people from the Silver Moon Race trying to do?"

"Are they going to deal with that monster? Why not attack all at once?"

"Could there be a Golden Tier powerhouse among them?"

Ignoring the whispers and stares, Ivy and her six disciples silently fanned out as they advanced, taking up their respective positions. In the silence, their seven auras gradually linked together. As if bound by an invisible thread, their footsteps and breathing faintly synchronized.

The Undead monster seemed to sense something. Its previously motionless skeletal frame slowly turned in their direction. It pulled the broadsword in its grasp from a pile of bones, the heavy blade dragging a shallow trench through the dirt.

A solemn aura emanated from the seven of them, enveloping the Undead monster like an invisible net.

In the next instant, Ivy made the first move. Instead of charging head-on, she cut in from the flank along a circular arc, moving so fast she barely left a blur.

The other disciples acted at the exact same time. The seven figures rotated and crossed paths in a well-ordered pattern, trapping the Undead monster in the center of a Big Dipper formation.

Instinctively sensing the threat, the Undead monster immediately swung its broadsword. The blade swept horizontally toward one of the disciples, carrying a muffled gust of wind.

The disciple shifted sideways to deflect the force. The blade scraped right past his robes, tearing a low whimper through the air.

Just as the Undead monster failed to retract its momentum in time, an attack from the other side rained down. Falling simultaneously was Ivy’s Taiyin Blade Light. It swept out from a blind spot, leaving a clear crack on the Undead monster’s rib armor.

The Undead monster immediately redirected its blade to retaliate, but the moment it turned, the attacking disciple had already retreated out of range, while another closed in from a different angle.

The seven’s footwork resembled a spinning roulette wheel, interlocking seamlessly. Their transitions between offense and defense had almost no gaps.

The Seven Stars Falling Fate Array was a type of Battle Array.

The Array used the Spiritual Power trajectory of the Big Dipper as its network, linking the auras of the seven Array Formers into one. On the offensive, their seven forces combined, striking with the momentum of a piercing rainbow. On the defensive, their Spiritual Light flowed, allowing them to take turns bearing damage.

It was perfectly suited for the weak to strike the strong, and for the many to besiege the few.

The seven figures constantly shifted positions, keeping the formation in endless rotation. Whenever a disciple ran low on stamina, the companion beside them would immediately take over the defense, giving them a chance to catch their breath. Relying on the Seven Stars Falling Fate Array, Ivy and the others were actually trading blows evenly with the Undead monster for the time being.

The crowd of watching adventurers had long since been left dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.

"What kind of fighting style is this?"

"These elves are only at the Silver Tier, yet they can actually suppress a Golden Tier Undead?"

"Are the disciples of the Silver Moon Race all this formidable?"

At the edge of the mountain peak, Una and the others were also watching intently.

Judging from the battle, the Undead monster before them possessed at least mid-level Gold strength... Thankfully, it hadn’t reached peak Gold, otherwise they could just turn around and leave right now.

But even at mid-level Gold, it was no easy foe to deal with.

Every one of the Undead monster’s attacks forced Ivy and her group to respond with all their might. Conversely, even with the Array’s enhancement, their strikes could only inflict minor injuries on the creature. They were forced to blindly chip away at its combat strength bit by bit.

Whenever a disciple grew overly exhausted or suffered an injury, another would immediately step up to replace them, maintaining the Array’s operation at all times. In just half an hour, apart from Ivy, the other disciples had essentially gone through a full rotation.

Fortunately, their efforts were not without reward.

The armor on the Undead monster’s body was mostly shattered. Several of its left ribs were broken, and the movements of its left arm had significantly slowed, making every counterattack half a beat slower than before.

Just as everyone thought victory was in sight, the monster suddenly let out a low roar. Its broadsword slashed horizontally, carrying a visible ring of grayish-white ripples that swept out in all directions.

A shockwave rolled outward, wrapping up shattered bone fragments and dust, sending six disciples flying simultaneously. Only Ivy, reacting quickly to the danger, managed to dodge the strike.

Two disciples had already been injured and withdrawn from the battlefield earlier. With six more added to the toll, there were no longer enough disciples left to form the Seven Stars Falling Fate Array.
