Growls of the undead filled the air along with the resonant sounds of Lightning constantly crackling. Within the darkness of the hallway, flashed of Lightning bolts danced around and in each time it swept past an undead. Its head would explode and its body would fall to the ground.
Despite killing dozens of undead in a sngle swipe of his hand. Dan knew that with the overwhelming numbes that the enemies had. They would eventually run out of fuel and when that time came. It would be their deaths.
Opening his palm, Dan hurled a concentrated beam of Lightning which latched on the nearest undead and burnt it into cinders. After killing that undead, it transformed into a beam once again and latched on another undead. It kept on dancing and dancing amidst the battlefield. Only when it killed at least fifty undeads did it disappear from the scene.
Ashes from the burnt bodies of the undead crumbled onto the ground. But Dan wasn't satisfied, shooting another Chain Lightning. He continued his massacre. And since these figures weren't human anymore, he felt no remorse and continued his killings.
At Natalie and Grace's side, both women unleashed their killing techniques without hesitation. Their movements looked graceful and filled with incomparable flair that not only accentuated their beauty but also maximized efficiency.
Wherever their arms passed, heads would roll and bodies would crumble, each of their attacks never held back and contained lethality that could send shiver down the spines of anyone.
"Damn there's no end to this horde of monsters! We have to find a way to escape their encirclement or else we'll die of exhaustion!" Grace shouted out as she stabbed an undead with her dagger. Pulling her weapon out, pieces of flesh and sticky pus from the undead's body splashed on her robes, almost making her vomit.
"Yeah, goddamned it... Stay back, you bastards!" Natalie twisted her body in mid-air and kicked an approaching undead. The undead staggered backward and those behind him were also forced back from the momentum of Natalie's kick, giving her momentary respite as she replied.
"Yeah, that will definitely happen unless we find a way to escape from this place...." All three of them were located at the second highest floor of the entire school building. Though jumping was possible, the same would still happen for there were at least several thousands of undeads littered at the school yard, surrounding the entire school building.
At the opposite direction of the two stood Dan whose complexion filled with beaded sweats that slowly dripped down his chin. Sweeping his gaze at the commotion before him. Dan realized that their life and death depended on whether they could escape and recover the Spiritual Energy that they lost.
Turning to his left, a window that revealed the murky and somber atmoshere of the outside world could be seen. Shooting at the window, the ear-splitting sound of glass shattering rang out as Dan hurriedly commanded at the two behind him.
"Grace, Natalie! The two of you, come over here... Let's escape through that window!" He beckoned for them and they turned towards his direction without hesitation. Both wanted to get out of this place more than anything. With a speed faster than normal, they arrived at his side and Dan lightly smiled.
"We won't be going down, we'll be going towards the roof, once your standing on the window, jump to the skies and propel yourself to the rooftop once in the air, got it?"
Grace and Natalie furiously nodded their heads like chicken pecking rice. They wanted nothing but to escape this place as fast as they could to the extent that they would do anything no matter how dangerous it was for that slim chance of escaping.
Leaping at the window, Dan bent his knees and propelled himself upward. Lightning crackled and exploded beneath his feet as his body horizontally flew towards the rooftop just three meters above their initial position.
Seeing their husband's success. Natalie and Grace felt somewhat relieved and stared at each other for a moment before nodding. Natalie went outside the window and Grace kept the approaching undead at bay with her Lightning.
Bending her knees, Natalie calmed her nervousness and leaped vertically. Following Dan's example, Lightning surged under her feet and pushed her horizontally towards the rooftop where she rolled and anxiously awaited Grace's arrival.
A flash of Lightning followed by the sound of muffled thunder energized her complexion as she saw Grace's figure soaring through the skies towards her location. Embracing her tight, Natalie worriedly glanced at Grace's body as the latter shyly said.
"Sis Natalie, you don't have to do these kind of things... You know that we're in a virtual world, right? Injuries here won't actually mean that we're also injured in reality..."
Grace turned to look at Dan in embarrassment and the latter merely turned his gaze away. His cheeks somewhat reddened for a certain idea popped out of his mind when he saw them locked in an embrace. Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down and called for a discussion.
"Now that we're at the rooftop, we're probably somewhat safe from everything that's going on underneath. However, to get out of this place. We have to find a way to kill those undead bastards without wasting too much Spiritual Energy..."
Dan lightly smiled as he said, his eyes darted around Natalie and Grace who stared at him in confusion. Before Natalie could say anything. Grace opened her mouth and spoke.
"Why are you saying that we shouldn't waste too much Spiritual Energy? Wouldn't killing those bastards mean the end of the Array and that we could finally escape?"
Dan shook his head towards her inquiry. Crossing his arms together. His expression turned solemn and serious. Staring at his two wives, he took a deep breath and explained.
"Everything's not so simple... Natalie, Grace... If the Array could really perfectly potray the dream world within my heart, then that undead army shouldn't be the end of everything... If I am right, there's still the final boss that we need to defeat..."
At the end of his sentence, a bitter and apologetic smile lifted on his lips before sighing as Natalie and Grace stared at him in shock. Just how crazy of a world he has in his heart? And why would he dream of such a presposterous world that contains all sorts of dangers and mysterious things?
Of course, they didn't voice out their concerns. Instead, they kept it to themselves before asking.
"In that case, just when and how can we defeat that so-called final boss that you're saying? Is there some kind of a special requirement necessary for it to appear?" Grace asked with knitted eyebrows and Dan clapped his hands together and replied with a smile of admiration on his face.
"That's right, that's indeed the case, Grace... There's a special requirement that needs to be met before that final boss of this world appears..." Taking a deep breath, he continued, "No matter where and when, I'm really amazed of your observational skills. To think that you would draw such a conclusion just from observing the world around you..."
Grace felt her cheeks burn hot from Dan's intense and incessant praising of her observational skills. Natalie who stood at the side puffed her cheeks and glared at Dan's direction. Of course, the latter picked her signal up and he approached both of his wives and patted their heads.
Without saying anything, both understood what Dan wanted to say and his feelings so they felt gratified and appreciated in their hearts. Sweetly smiling, the two stared at Dan and the latter retracted his hand before saying.
"I have surefire way that could let us kill each and everyone of those bastards underneath us without wasting too much Spiritual Energy..." Dan told them with a smile lingering on his face.
The two women's curiosity peaked and they practically looked like two little puppies eager for some treats from their master. Towards their expressions, Dan couldn't help but chuckle as he continued his explanation.
"I have some explosives with me that we could use to detonate some spots within the school building so that it'll collapse and crush those bastards underneath."
Dan's use of a new term confused the two women who asked.
"Explosives? Something that will explode like those green balls that you always throw at the enemy?"
Dan nodded his head in confirmation and the two women also nodded their heads in understanding. Reaching a tacit agreement, all three of them prepared for the commencement of the plan.
"Just how reliable is your plan, dear? Are you really sure that we won't be caught off guard and injured by the flying debris from the demolition?" Natalie asked with concern visible on her face and Dan shook his head.
"Natalie, you do remember that we're all cultivators here, right? We could just activate our Spiritual Energy and cover our bodies with it so that we won't get injured. Unfortunately, we can't break the void here or else we could escape from the rooftop and not have to use this dangerous plan..."
Grace nodded her head at Dan's explanation and Natalie conceded. Holding dozens of Grenades on their hands, all three of them burst forth from the rooftop and ran towards the location that Dan indicated earlier at his explanation.
Planting several Grenades on a foundation pillar and columns. All three of them worked together and tried their best avoiding the slow undeads without using little to no Spiritual Energy. In the end, they regrouped at the rooftop without sustaining any injuries. Apart from exhaustion that they suffered from running to and fro, all three safely returned.
"Excellent work, before we start destroying everything. Let's change clothes first, these robes are starting to get really stinky..." Dan applauded and praised the two women and proposed. His words made them smile for they felt the same way.
Women were creatures that liked beauty and cleanliness, so wearing such sticky and stinky robes felt like a punishment for the two. Taking off their robes, they didn't bother to hide from Dan's side as they slowly undressed everything including their underwear.
Dan merely smiled at their actions and never said anything. Of course, to protect his wives valuable bodies from the eyes of outsiders, he propped a Sound and Light Isolating Formation around the two as insurance before taking off his clothes and displaying his naked body to the outside world while smiling.
"If there are any lechers there then you bastards will make do on watching my buttocks..." He smirked and dressed himself up. HIs act of changing his clothes didn't even take a minute but his wives took at least several minutes before they emerged from the formation.
"Could the two of you at least dress up faster? We're not in a particular occasion so there's no reason to dress so flashilly, you could've make do with a simple tunic..." Dan berated and Natalie glared at his direction.
"You obviously don't understand anything about women's fashion, my dear... Without sufficient knowledge, one should just shut up and stop complaining..."
Dan who didn't expect Natalie's fierce retaliation almost choked in his own saliva while Grace reeled at his misfortune for forgetting Natalie's bottom line. You could take away anything that you want from Natalie with the exception of her daughter and her valuable clothes. Taking them away meant courting death.
Shrugging, Dan could care less and closed his eyes. Floating up in the air, his Divine Sense covered the entire school building and he marked the planted Grenades before simultaneously detonating them all with a thought.
BOOM!
A sound akin to muffled thunder reverberated out, every pillar and column that supported the school building promptly collapsed. Burying several thousands of undeads beneath as the smell of iron and rotten corpses filled the air and formed into a toxic cloud.
