Despite this, when the corpses were struck by their moves, they did not seem to be badly harmed. They were not even superficially injured. They stood up and continued to fight everyone.
Their bodies were indeed as strong as the rumors had said. No one dared to let their guards down at all. They had no choice but to fight with all their might.
The physical body of a Mage was originally stronger than that of an ordinary person. And, all of them had even cultivated to the innate realm and had almost reached the supernatural state. Some ordinary magical weapons simply could not fight against them. They were simply courting death.
Facing these corpses, Romo suddenly thought of a kind of people group. It was said that there were people with a special cultivation. Once the cultivation of these people reached a certain realm, they could rely solely on their physical bodies to fight against magical weapons. Everyone called them the anomalous kind, and most of these people would appear in the desolate lands north of the Xuanli Continent.
They had once been regarded as invincible Battle Gods, but Romo had later heard from an elder that notwithstanding this, they would still feel tired or be injured when faced with powerful magical weapons.
However, the corpses in front of Romo seemed to have advanced another level on the foundation of the invincible Battle Gods of the desolate lands. They did not seem to have any senses, nor could they feel fatigue or pain. Even though their skin and flesh had been lacerated by the magical weapons, or their limbs broken, they did not react at all, as if their bodies were not their own.
The corpses with their limbs broken still stood up without any hesitation and continued to fight Romo and the others, wave after wave, as if there was no end.
“When will we ever be done with fighting? What a group of zombies.” As they fought, Romo felt that there was no hope and complained aloud.
“Don’t be discouraged. At least, they are not thinking. Look at their fighting style. They don’t have any rules. Just don’t let your guards down,” said Leonard.
At least for the time being, these corpses, which had no rules when fighting, did not pose too much of a threat to Romo and the rest. However, they could not kill them, and this was annoying.
One of Leonard’s attacks had been instantly broken by a corpse with strong magical power. The corpse seemed to have been in a spell and had instantly rushed in front of Leonard. It stretched out its five fingers at Leonard’s neck. If Leonard had not reacted swiftly, he might have become the sacrifice in this battle.
A hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the wrist of the corpse, and swung violently in the opposite direction. The corpse flew up in the air. In the blink of an eye, the other hand slapped on the corpse’s head. To everyone’s surprise, the head instantly exploded like a watermelon that had smashed onto the ground.
The head of the corpse exploded and sent several corpses behind it flying.
Leonard had thus witnessed everything. While he was still in a state of shock, he realized that the person who had helped him earlier was Romo. “Thank you, Mage Romo. If it weren’t for you just now…”
Before he could finish speaking, more zombies were continuing to charge at them.
“We won’t be able to finish fighting no matter what if this continues. We have to think of a way.” Mike was already exhausted from the fighting, yet he had no choice but to block the zombies one after another.
“Fellow Magi, I’ve decided to take a risk. Everyone, please cover me. I’ll set up a defensive formation.” Seeing that the corpses would not be cleared no matter how they fought, Edward decided to take a risk.
Upon hearing Edward’s words, everyone instantly had a target. They quickly adjusted their formations to protect Edward from the battle for the time being. Edward took out a bronze Contract Formation from his clothes and cast a spell on it. Instantly, many moving runes appeared in the air.
“Everyone, lend me some more magical power. The formation is about to be completed.” Edward realized that his magical power was insufficient to support the formation, so he threw that Contract Formation into the air.
In an instant, the entire sky was filled with golden light, and it continued to spread in all directions. In a short while, it had formed a barrier with a radius just enough for a group of people to rest.
Initially, Romo was still worried that the formation would soon be broken by the corpses. However, he saw a corpse colliding with the barrier and being immediately repelled. The few of them finally had a temporary place to rest.
Edward looked at the corpses that were being bounced off outside and said with a solemn expression, “This formation won’t last long. The corpses might break through soon. We have to think of a solution quickly.”
“Senior, do you have a solution?” Mike was baffled by the situation, so he placed his hopes on Harris.
Harris was lost in thought.
Leonard said, “I have just discovered that although the bodies of these corpses are very powerful, their heads are very weak. I think we can kill them if we break their heads or hearts.”
Harris suddenly said, “Mage Romo, have you discovered anything?”
Upon hearing Harris’ question, Romo seemed to have gotten confirmation. He looked to the right and said, “Could it be that you have also discovered it? I was worried that it was my imagination.”
The conversation between the two was like an encrypted conversation, confusing everyone. “What are you both talking about? Why am I not able to understand?”
“I have discovered a while ago that there was a special aura on the right, but I don’t know if it is related to these corpses,” Romo explained and pointed to the right.
“It might be the controller of these corpses.” Edward became hopeful, upon hearing Romo’s words.
Harris said, “It’s useless to speculate here. Let’s go take a look.”
Edward injected his magical power into the formation above them, and the semi-circular barrier began to move with everyone’s footsteps. The corpses kept crashing onto the barrier which would flicker with each impact. Everyone was very worried.
“We have to find a solution quickly. This barrier won’t last long,” Edward said with difficulty.
After advancing about a hundred meters, the group of corpses suddenly stopped in their tracks. They were no longer following them, as if they had seen something and were afraid.
“They have actually stopped. It looks like our line of thought is right,” Leonard said excitedly.
“Look, there’s someone ahead.” Mike suddenly discovered a person in front, the special aura Romo had mentioned. However, everyone still dared not let their guard down, afraid that they would fall into a trap.
As all of them continued to walk forward, everyone was surprised to find that the color of the black fog in front of them was becoming fainter and fainter. The closer it got to the special aura, the more thoroughly the black fog dissipated, and the clearer everyone’s vision became.
Finally, a person sitting cross-legged appeared in everyone’s line of sight. When everyone looked again, they saw that this person was sitting on a huge stone coffin which was ten meters long.
Everyone was very curious about this person. They were both surprised and curious to see him.. However, no one noticed that Romo’s eyes had a hint of shock when he saw this person.
