"Click, click, click, ......"

Seeing that his attack missed, the undead's jawbone opened and closed, and once again emitted all kinds of strange and ugly sounds. It seemed to be trying to say something, but alas, Miles and the mages certainly didn't understand.

——The language barrier dooms them to have no possibility of communication.

And at this moment, the mages were even busy extinguishing the few fires that the undead had released at the beginning, so how could they bother to study the other party's reaction?

They tried water magic and dark magic, but no matter what means they used, the gray flames burned brighter and brighter, like a fire doused with gasoline, and the mages' faces turned pale.

"This fire...... Fire is nothing like magic. No, get rid of that barrier, or the flames will swallow you all!"

Suddenly, a shout came from not far away. The mages turned their heads in unison, only to see Lyra fly out of the dense forest, shouting at the mages.

The mages were stunned for half a second, and then immediately came back to their senses. They hurriedly shifted their position, then dismantled the spell, allowing the elemental barrier to revert to a freely discrete elemental. But what made them even more puzzled was that under the influence of the gray flames, even the process of dissipating magic seemed to become completely different.

Because...... The elements didn't really dissipate, but were swallowed up by the gray flames, incinerated into nothingness.

- The flame completely destroyed the elementals.

This fact shocked the mages. They were eager to find a chance to figure out how it worked, but ...... Now is not the time for them to do research.

"Master Leila, why are you here? You're not ......"

"I've sensed a fluctuation in mana, and you're clearly in trouble. Leila paused and whispered, "Don't worry, the nearby undead have not been alarmed, and there will be no more enemies coming for the time being." ”

When the mages heard this, the pressure in their hearts eased slightly. But...... None of them showed the slightest lightheartedness.

The methods of this intelligent undead have far exceeded their imagination, not only dodging from their sneak attack in an instant, but the gray flames can even destroy the elements, which has shaken their worldview to a great extent.

Element...... Shouldn't it be indestructible?

The male mage froze in place, and the confidence he had at the beginning had long since disappeared without a trace.

“...... It's a bit of a hassle. ”

While the mages were freeing themselves from the flames, Miles didn't stop fighting because he lost his weapon. He picked up a rib from the ground, like a long stick, and continued to pick up the bone and continue to slash over the undead. In just half a minute, the undead's rotting body was almost knocked hundreds of times by Miles, and the bones in Miles' hands were replaced several times.

It's just that the undead still looks unscathed.

It resisted Miles' attacks as it cast spells, summoning corrupt vines from the ground and sweeping towards Miles. Miles also noticed that the vines were not made of elements.

Therefore, he is not immune to them.

He had to be careful to dodge all attacks, dodging and countering at the same time. Fortunately, the undead's attack was not violent, and Miles was fast enough to not suffer much in this coming-and-going.

However, the two fires in the eyes of the undead were still locked on him.

Mercy, contempt, contempt...... He could feel the emotions coming from the flames. It's as if this undead has completely seen through his life, and then scrutinizes his every move with a condescending attitude. Miles felt more aggrieved than ever.

For some reason, he inexplicably remembered the scene of the abyss trial. A familiar, unspeakable emotion that he didn't know how to describe came flooding back into his heart.

He felt bad.

Judging from the current situation, the undead can't help him, even if he can't really hurt the undead, it won't be too dangerous, but ...... He just felt bad.

"We're here to help you!"

Miles had just dodged the attack of a corrupt vine when suddenly, the voices of the mages came from a short distance behind him, calling him back from that inexplicable emotion.

Is there finally support......

Miles came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he would not be able to kill the undead in his lifetime on his own—ordinary weapon attacks would have little effect on it, and perhaps the mages would be a little more effective.

In this way, with a surge of dark elements, huge black claws appeared above the jungle and slowly aimed at the undead.

The undead turned a blind eye, and their eyes still fell on Miles. One after another, corrupt vines burst out of the ground, and the only target was the flickering figure.

As a result, the black claws landed on the unsuspecting undead.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang, and the ground on which it was standing was slapped into a small depression. However, the male mage who performed the magic was stunned. He looked at the undead who were overwhelmed by the dark elementals, his eyes uncertain, as if he had seen a picture that could refresh his view of magic once again.

And several mages on the side also showed stunned expressions after observing for a while.

I saw that the claw had just touched the undead, and I didn't know what was happening, and the magic structure inside the claw instantly began to collapse. Like the gray flame, the claws disintegrate into dark elements, which are absorbed by the body of the undead, and then lose all senses, and may well have turned into nothingness.

As a result, even if the aftermath of the magic slapped the ground into a hollow, the Shadow Claw could not hurt the undead in the slightest.

"This ...... Isn't this the magic immunity of the Miles mercenaries!"

Someone was stunned for a moment and let out such an exclamation.

Leila was silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "No...... Its immunity is a little more advanced. It doesn't just repel all the elements, it leads them to death, and then turns that dead air into its own power. ”

When the mages heard this, they carefully observed the undead a few more times, and found that the undead aura emanating from the body seemed to be really a little thicker than before.

And the corrupt vines it could summon at one time suddenly changed from four to five.

This fact made everyone despair.

“...... Let's withdraw. Miles dodged the vines as he turned back and said, "The skin of this thing is too hard for me to move, and your magic is useless, so I have to withdraw." ”

To be honest, from the moment he actually faced this undead, the thought of retreat was born in his heart.

It doesn't matter whether the situation is good or bad, and it doesn't matter about this mission, it's just a very intuitive instinctive reaction that has accumulated over many years of wandering the tip of the knife, and maybe it has something to do with the memories of the abyss trials that have resurfaced...... In short, he didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

"Follow me!"

Leila nodded her head in agreement. She immediately turned around and waved her hand, shouting, motioning for the crowd to rush towards the trap that had been set.

While it is not known if the trap is useful for the wise undead, it ...... After all, there is no better than talking.

The other mages didn't object, and hurriedly took off, flying after Lyra in that direction. And on the other side, Miles is the same. He threw one of his ribs into his hand, pinned the nearest vine to the tree, and turned to run.

Soon, the mages fled from the vicinity of the House of Bones of the Undead and returned to the place where they had set the trap in the first place

"How, how...... Didn't you chase after you?"

The male mage glanced back and asked with some panic. Fortunately, the jungle was empty, and he didn't see any special movements, and the eerie undead aura had faded a lot here.

Seeing this, several other mages also breathed a sigh of relief.

However......

"Not good, what about Miles?" Lyra said, looking around, "Which of you saw him?"
