Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 236: City Break


A gigantic white pillar of light pierced straight through a colossal beast.

This attack was unleashed by Saintess Finaris, and executing it left her slightly out of breath.

However, there were still three colossal beasts with no one to stop them, charging toward the fortress.

Before Kane was a massive cannon launcher, which he had specially prepared for those demons.

It seemed that now he had to use it to eliminate these beasts first.

Following Kane's command, the pitch-black cannon barrel aimed at one of the beasts.

Whoosh!

A slender, sharp shell flew out.

Boom!

The beast fell to the ground on cue, a massive bloody hole blown open in its waist.

Subsequently, he adjusted the cannon and fired two more shots.

The other two summoned siege beasts were also blasted to the ground.

The monsters, just summoned not long ago, were eradicated in the blink of an eye.

Even without seeing the demons' expressions, one could feel their anger.

With the enemy leader's command, those demons finally began to move.

They attacked the fortress like beasts released from a cage, their various roars and growls filling their ears.

This made Kane feel a bit regretful.

He initially thought those demons would stick together until they were within his firing range.

But they dispersed at such a great distance.

With the surge of magic power, the large barrel began reconstructing, soon forming a smaller caliber, but long and slender launcher.

Kane knelt halfway and raised the launcher, his eyes turning from golden dragon pupils to eagle eyes.

Shot after shot.

The sound of bullets breaking through the air frequently echoed in front of him.

A winged demon flying swiftly toward the fortress suddenly plummeted in mid-air, with the object on its neck vanished.

The demons rushing toward the fortress, following the faint gunfire, fell one after another.

The fallen demons without exceptions turned to ashes, their heads visibly shattered in an instant.

While furiously sniping at the demons, Kane suddenly vanished in a flash.

The place where Kane had just crouched was now impaled by a bloodstained long spear, its long tip fully embedded into the black stone wall.

The attack was launched by the Demon Commander on a floating platform in the distance.

He stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Kane's position.

But Kane had used the flash to appear on another side of the wall, still in a half-kneeling posture, continuing to snipe at the approaching demons.

However, no matter how strong or fast his attacks were.

He still only managed to eliminate 10 demons on the way.

Over a hundred demons had surged forward.

Some agile demons, or those with the ability to fly, directly climbed the walls.

An elite squad of soldiers, waiting for a while, responded, surrounding and then killing the weaker demons on the spot.

But there were more powerful demons, whose attacks pushed the soldiers back repeatedly, forcing them to defend and contain, not daring to attack.

Seeing the situation outside the wall, Kane realized that this fortress couldn't hold much longer.

Not just them, the fortresses where Kreya and Longbei were also on the verge of being overtaken.

But before that, they had to first eliminate the demons on the path to the fortress to prevent them from delaying the retreat.

Holding the crystal long spear, Kane began to charge at the demons.

In a few leaps, he reached the back of a demon, and the spear in his hand transformed into a massive crystal axe.

With the elite squads' hindrance, the demons were defenseless against Kane's attack.

Once Kane got close to them.

They couldn't escape their fate of death.

Bloodlust and a desire for battle made them oblivious to their surroundings, still fiercely fighting the soldiers before them.

Each demon Kane reached from behind, he decapitated with a single swing of his crystal giant axe.

The number of demons able to break into the fortress was not many.

It didn't take Kane long to eliminate them all.

With the support of these elite soldiers, he barely needed to expend much energy or time; a few strikes sufficed to take their lives.

Just as this side was cleared, the demons at the gate were nearly breaking it down.

On the wall, skin-stripping monsters occasionally climbed up, though they were immediately skewered by other soldiers.

But it was still evident that their defense was struggling.

Swiftly moving to Sakrem's side.

At this time, Sakrem's face was stained with blood, wielding a longsword, slashing at the skin-stripping monsters that charged at him.

The priestess was no longer there, seemingly assisting soldiers in the rear.

With one slash, Sakrem sent a skin-stripping monster flying, then wiped the blood from his face.

"We can hardly hold any longer; it's time to retreat. How are the other directions faring?"

Listening to Sakrem's question, Kane replied, "They're about to start retreating too."

Hearing Kane's response, Sakrem nodded, then raised his right hand.

"All units, prepare to retreat."

His order quickly echoed in every soldier's ears.

The priests treating soldiers were rapidly moving seriously injured soldiers out through the back gate.

Some lightly injured soldiers followed suit, exiting.

Physically fit soldiers climbed the walls, replacing those who had been in battle for a long time.

The relieved soldiers swiftly formed up, retreating toward the rear.

Finally, the soldiers on the wall covered the retreat.

When the time was right.

Sakrem lowered his arm.

"Retreat!"

With his command, all soldiers on the wall moved back quickly.

Every soldier remaining in the fortress began to run toward the back door as swiftly as possible.

Kane and Shaq were among them.

As these soldiers retreated, the skin-stripping monsters quickly scaled the walls.

However, with a loud bang, all the monsters on the gate were engulfed in explosive flames.

On the wall, the explosive potions Meizike had planted earlier went off.

That was to buy more time for the retreating soldiers.

Allowing them more time to organize their ranks after leaving the fortress, retreating while fighting.

The explosions caused a section of the wall to collapse, hindering the creatures' swift pursuit.

The retreating soldiers had gathered at the backside of the fortress.

They started swiftly leaving along the planned route.

"Are you sure you want to wait here a little longer?"

Hearing Sakrem's question, Kane smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Seeing his resolved demeanor, Sakrim didn't press further and quickly caught up with the retreating troop.
