Another World: The Failed Magician

Under Yunxi's leadership, the group handled even hundreds of abominations with ease.

Their bloated bodies collapsed one by one.

However, the mixed-race group only paid the price of a few dozen lives.

The last abomination soon fell to the hands of the group.

The ground was littered with stench-filled pieces of corpse.

But the group paid no attention and continued to push towards the black gate.

Without the abomination, the even smaller number of liches could not stop the group at all.

They were all wiped out in just a few seconds.

A sense of joy began to spread through the group.

The closer they got to the gate, the louder the roaring became.

Even with their view slightly obstructed, everyone could still see the entire black gate.

The door, which was previously half-open, is now fully open.

Everyone looked toward the gate, but could see nothing but endless darkness.

Looking at the endless darkness, the group ahead couldn't help but waver.

Just as everyone stopped, the other three guardians on the high platform finally appeared at the front of the group.

They immediately released their divine senses to try to see what was going on inside the gate.

As a result, all detection methods were like falling into a bottomless ocean, yielding no feedback whatsoever.

With no feedback from the probe, we had no choice but to take action. We were already this far, and there was no turning back.

With a wave of his hand, a silver-white longbow appeared in one of the guardians' hands.

With his other hand, he reached out and grabbed at the air, and an arrow made entirely of battle qi was nocked onto the longbow.

He drew his longbow to its full extent.

Accompanied by a silvery-white light.

An arrow was shot towards the black gate.

Seeing that someone had made the first move.

The hundreds of people in front were not to be outdone, and they all attacked the gate with their own attacks.

The arrow, originally aimed at the door frame, suddenly changed direction just before it touched the door, rushing towards the boundless darkness.

After the arrows fell into the darkness, there was no further movement.

The same applies to attacks from others.

A brief silence fell over the crowd.

Just as everyone was thinking about how to destroy the gate.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed from the darkness.

Everyone stood tense, ready for battle.

"Hahaha!"

A piercing laugh, accompanied by the clatter of warhorses' hooves, reached everyone's ears from within the black gate.

A knight clad in armor appeared before the crowd.

Unlike a normal knight, it does not have a head.

The Headless Horseman!

This was the first thought in everyone's mind.

A spirit that exists only in stories.

"Be careful, this guy might have the strength of a peak Martial King!"

One of the guardians spoke up to remind him.

These words caused the martial artists in front to involuntarily take a step back.

This is someone on par with a Dharma Protector. Although the Grand Elder's reward is very tempting, one must be alive to enjoy it.

As soon as the protector finished speaking, he gripped a silver-white spear with both hands and charged directly at the headless knight.

"Hahaha!"

Amidst deafening laughter, a pale blue glow appeared on the headless knight's armor.

Blue flames appeared on the warhorse's legs.

Just then, the silver-white spear pierced directly into the headless knight's chest.

Behind it, two martial kings of mixed blood appeared at some unknown time.

Just when the group thought victory was assured.

The attack landed.

The headless knight in mid-air turned into a blur.

"not good!"

The guardian, wielding his spear, roared the moment his attack missed.

At that moment, Yunxi, who was standing in the middle of the group, suddenly felt the sound of horses' hooves echoing in her ears.

As soon as she turned around, she saw the headless horseman holding a sharp longsword, aiming straight for her head.

She quickly raised the magic orb in her hand and held it in front of her.

A screen of light appeared in front of her.

The moment the long sword touched the light barrier, the barrier emitted a hissing sound.

It's as if it's been eroded by something.

It resisted for only a short while before shattering like a mirror.

But this short time is enough.

The other two guardians reacted quickly.

They attacked the headless horseman from two different directions.

"Hahaha!"

The familiar laughter rang in everyone's ears again.

After the laughter subsided, their attacks predictably missed.

The headless horseman from before has turned into a phantom again.

After their attack missed, the two guardians quickly landed beside Longxi.

"Are you okay?"

Longxi shook his head.

Compared to the attack she had just witnessed, she was more concerned about the headless horseman's abilities.

The laughter will disappear once it's over.

This ability is a bit too tricky.

There were no casualties in the team.

However, upon seeing the four guardians, they found they were completely unable to subdue the headless knight.

This instilled a sense of fear in the remaining thousands of people.

After all, nobody knows who the Headless Horseman's next target will be.

If it were me, could I really survive its blade?

This brought the team, which had already advanced to the black gate, to a standstill once again.

"Hahaha!"

The headless horseman won't give anyone time to think.

It was that familiar laughter again.

A flash of light appeared.

A head, along with blood, splattered into the air.

The weakest of the mixed-blood martial kings lost his life just like that.

The spear sliced ​​through the sky and appeared out of thin air behind the headless knight at incredible speed.

"what…"

Just when everyone thought the familiar laughter was about to reappear.

A loud crash echoed through the air.

The headless knight barely managed to block the spear with his long sword.

Although it blocked the attack, the three guardians had already surrounded it.

"Hmph! I thought you were so strong. As long as I can stop you from laughing, that's enough. You like to laugh, don't you? Then laugh!"

The three attacked very quickly.

Whenever the headless horseman made even the slightest sound, it would be interrupted by an attack.

After being unable to activate special abilities.

The three of them easily subdued the headless knight.

The three guardians surrounded the headless knight.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But a conspicuous headless corpse still lay at the front of the line.

This sent a chill down everyone's spine.

"What are you all standing there for? Go and destroy the gate! Have you all forgotten the Elder's reward?"

One of the guardians spoke as he attacked the headless knight.

Suddenly, a mixed-race martial artist took a step forward.

"Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind?!"

The man didn't pay attention to his companion calling after him.

"Give it a try!"

With that, he rushed toward the black gate.

After the first person took action, the others followed suit.

The stalled team finally began to move forward again.
