"Lulumon!" Bexia shouted, and the flying core suddenly stopped in midair and then disappeared.

"Who?!" Omo was shocked. He swung his long sword towards the front, only to be confronted with a black magic circle and a skeleton warrior emerging from it.

"It's that death summoner!" Omo immediately recognized it was Lulumon. He hadn't noticed before, but now he realized she wasn't among the group of people, and the fact that he couldn't sense her presence furrowed his brow.

"Ouch!" A painful cry surprised everyone. Lulumon stumbled on the corner of her long invisible cloak and fell to the ground, revealing her figure. The core gem in her hand flew out, drawing a splendid arc in midair.

"Mine!" Omo stomped his foot and rushed towards the core gem. He had already been on the verge of giving up, but he didn't expect such a reversal of fortune. It was as if even the heavens were favoring him!

"Do you think I'll let you have it?" Bexia appeared instantly from the midst of the others' surround. Although there was still some distance, it was enough to launch an attack.

Bexiawarblade swung a crescent slash, knocking the core gem away before Omo, while her warblade mercilessly slashed towards Omo.

"You brat, don't push it too far. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Omo roared. He faced Bexia head-on with his long sword. He used to be an expert of Extreme, although he had been severely injured, resulting in a decline in his strength. But just now, with the help of the Staff of Life Source, he had repaired many dark injuries in his body, and his strength had recovered to the level of the initial stage of Extreme. This level of strength was considered high no matter where it was.

However, Omo completely underestimated Bexia. As soon as they made contact, his expression changed. The immense force caused numbness in his hand, and he couldn't help but think, "Why is this kid so strong?"

"Blood Rage!" Omo used a power-enhancing skill. This was a kind of application of magic power that everyone had when they promoted to Extreme. The form of expression was similar for everyone, and the aspect of enhancement depended on the power of various magic powers. As for the name, Omo made it up himself. After all, the unified name for this skill was "Magic Surge".

Omo's strength increased greatly, and he swung his long sword fiercely at Bexia. However, to his astonishment, even in this state, his strength still did not have an absolute advantage. It could even be said that the two were evenly matched, and they clashed dozens of times in a row.

"Die!" Omo's heart trembled, and a large amount of blood-colored magic power condensed on his long sword.

"Bloodwolf Kill!"

The wolf shadow roared, and a strong explosion occurred immediately after contacting Bexia. Omo thought it should be over now! Although he had withstood his attacks before, it should have been some kind of special one-time defense item. But this time, it was his full-strength blow. With Bexia's strength, she would be severely injured even if she didn't die.

But the next moment, his face changed. A glint of coldness magnified in his sight, and Omo hastily raised his long sword to block it.

"Clang!" The sound of metal colliding made Omo's arm numb. He looked at his long sword, which had been sliced into quarters, and just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief that he had blocked this attack, his hand felt another vibration.

"Clang clang clang!"

Warblade made three consecutive short-range slashes. Under the astonished gaze of Aomo, his long knife suddenly broke. If he hadn't dodged in time, his life would have been in danger.

But dodging also came at a price - there was now a bloody mark on his face.

"Who are you?" Aomo asked, covering his bleeding face with a deep voice.

"What does it matter who I am? You're going to die anyway!" Bexia stomped his foot and swiftly shot towards Aomo, with warblade swooping in with a whistling wind.

"Think it's that easy for me to die? I didn't want to use this in the first place!" Aomo's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Without hesitation, he threw out a red crystal that appeared in his hand, in response to Bexia's advance.

"Be careful, Bexia! That's an advanced Fireblast Crystal!" Lulumon reminded, it was a one-time special item made with explosive magic, divided into levels based on the colors of the edges. Silver represented a high level, and it had tremendous power. Even an inattentive person would be blown to death.

Bexia naturally recognized it as a Fireblast Crystal, but with the Thousand-Change Robe he was wearing, he could completely ignore such an attack. However, the moment Bexia collided with the Fireblast Crystal, everyone was dumbfounded. The crystal, which everyone thought would cause a violent explosion, instead erupted into a black mist with a loud bang, causing a paralyzing sensation in anyone who inhaled it.

"Haha! You're still too green." Aomo, at this moment, had already rushed towards the core gemstone. Amidst the unfavorable gazes of everyone, he picked it up once again, gaining the power of the gemstone. The wounds on Aomo's face began to heal rapidly.

"......" However, soon Aomo's eyes changed. After losing the staff, he could only use the gemstone for offensive capabilities. Apart from its powerful life force, it was practically useless for him at the moment.

Aomo's thoughts raced quickly. He glanced at Bexia, who was about to regain his ability to move, and after several incidents just now, he had discovered that Bexia was equipped with strong protective gear. It was probably impossible to kill him now, but the staff was behind Bexia.

Should I go and get it?

Aomo immediately dismissed this idea. Who knew if Bexia would suddenly rise up? Ever since the beginning, this guy has been doing many unexpected things.

Escape?

But where could he run in this underground space?

No, there was still a way.

"You, grab one each and use them as hostages!" Aomo shouted loudly to his underlings.

"Yes, boss!"

"Also, this little one should be important to him, right?" Aomo's gaze shifted towards Lulumon, who was hiding among the skeleton warriors. If the others had little to do with Bexia and posed little threat, it was obvious that Lulumon and his relationship were there for all to see. If he managed to capture her, it would make Bexia hesitate.

Aomo's mind stirred, and his body immediately went into action. He took out a heavy sword from his spatial item, although it wasn't as handy as his long knife, it was better than having no weapon at all, right?

"Courting death!" Bexia saw Aomo's movements, and after regaining his ability to move, he immediately rushed forward with light blade flashes.

"Dang!" Omo turned around to block the attack, but he was kicked and sent flying. Lulumon's crisis was instantly resolved.

"Kid, let's have a talk, shall we?" Omo got up from the ground, put on a smile, and gestured to his subordinates to hold their weapons against the necks of the others.
