The Death Incarnation released for the second time instantly regained its strength.

At the same time, the black mist around it had already changed to another set of equipment, employing the Extreme Cold Snow Layer specifically to counteract flames.

Additionally, Gu Xi noticed that below the sternum of the Death Incarnation, a set of black lungs had begun to form.

It was clear that the effect of the Dragon Breath was enhanced this time.

However, Gu Xi noticed that within the black lung, there seemed to be some hidden snow-white objects.

No matter what, when the Death Incarnation launched a strike again, everything was aimed directly at the enemy.

The Phoenix had just blocked the Death Incarnation’s Death Dragon Breath.

This time, the situation was clearly different.

With an upward charge, the Death Incarnation first collided with the Phoenix, then with a tail whip, the bronze backbone reverted, and it hit the Skeleton Soldier on the Phoenix’s back.

The Skeleton Soldier was almost knocked off the Phoenix, but luckily it flipped over to stabilize everything.

But at this moment, the Death Incarnation opened its mouth and released the Dragon Breath.

The Phoenix thought the Death Incarnation was attempting the same move as before.

The green Death Dragon Breath would harm, but not seriously affect, the azure Phoenix in front of it.

After all, the most troublesome Death Power within the Death Dragon Breath was exactly restrained by the Phoenix.

Another attempt shouldn’t be a problem.

Thus, the Phoenix moved upward, blocking in front of the Death Incarnation.

However, this time, what the Death Incarnation released was no longer the green Death Dragon Breath.

Since acquiring the new lungs, the Death Incarnation’s Death Dragon Breath finally had customization options.

Although still limited to one use per summoning for the Death Dragon Breath.

The emphasis of the Death Dragon Breath had completely shifted.

The usual green Death Dragon Breath, a standard form made of countless souls and grudges.

This time, however, it sprayed a blue-white Death Dragon Breath, much like a blizzard, enveloping the entire Phoenix.

The Phoenix truly hadn’t expected that the Death Incarnation could change components.

Ice was genuinely this Phoenix’s greatest weakness.

A single icy Death Dragon Breath left the Phoenix and the skeleton on its back covered in white frost.

Taking this opportunity, the Death Incarnation struck. Before the Phoenix could block, it took a bite, clamping the Skeleton Soldier with its jaws.

Even this Skeleton Soldier hadn’t expected the Death Incarnation to act without martial virtue, ambushing him, a knight.

Typically, shouldn’t one fight with the mount?

An ambush like this is outrageous.

Yet, the Death Incarnation ignored these thoughts, biting the Skeleton Soldier, turning again, and with a tail hit the already-frozen Phoenix, sending it flying.

After shaking off the Phoenix, the Death Incarnation flew upward, biting harder until with a crunch, the Skeleton Soldier was crushed on the spot.

Without the Skeleton Soldier, the flames on the Phoenix began to gradually fade.

Seeing this, the Death Incarnation wasted no time, pouncing with its mouth open to inhale.

The azure flames were entirely absorbed into the Death Incarnation’s belly.

[Death Incarnation (Spell Product) killed Netherworld Phoenix Cavalry (Level 13), you gained 8214 experience points (overflow stored 8214 points).]

After the Netherworld Phoenix Cavalry died and its flame was absorbed, only a head-sized purple sphere was left on the scene.

Death Incarnation glanced at Gu Xi, its eye sockets flaring with excitement.

"Alright, you can take it."

As soon as Gu Xi spoke, the Death Incarnation instantly took the purple sphere, turned, and disappeared in front of Gu Xi.

After everything was over, Gu Xi turned to observe the battlefield.

Just that moment earlier, half of Gu Xi’s troops were obliterated by an explosion.

Over thirty swarms of Corpse Poison Flies and Bone Locust were decimated and needed to retreat for reinforcement.

The Skeleton Soldiers guarding Gu Xi fared even worse, with three Skeleton Squads annihilated and three Skeleton Bosses killed on the field.

From this, one could see the destructive power of that sudden strike from above.

"My lord, are you alright?"

At this moment, Shaya appeared beside Gu Xi.

It was evident that the earlier incident had caused significant damage to Shaya as well.

"I’m fine. How about you?"

"Not bad. Almost died earlier, but I didn’t let it slide. My lord, look what I got?"

Shaya proudly showed an item.

Initially, Gu Xi wanted to speak, but upon turning his head, a trace of confusion flickered in his eyes.

"Where did this come from?"

It turned out Shaya had acquired a sturdy white bone shield, with three skulls embedded along its edge.

The three skulls were bound together with something akin to leather straps.

But what caught Gu Xi’s attention wasn’t that; it was a deep sword mark on the shield, rendering it as if split into two pieces by someone from above.

"Where did it come from? Of course, I chopped it. Originally, I intended to chop the javelin flying down, but ended up only hitting its shield."

Recalling, Gu Xi indeed noticed something odd about the Netherworld Phoenix Cavalry earlier; when he looked over, this cavalry was only holding a spear with one hand, the other hand was always empty.

Now it seemed he should have been wielding a shield, but the shield had been chopped off.

Fortunately, Shaya intervened. Otherwise, combining the foe’s attack and defense, the Death Incarnation might have struggled to defeat him.

Lost in thought, Gu Xi took the shield.

Upon holding the shield, Gu Xi involuntarily quipped.

[You obtained Shield of the Three-Headed Dragon (Gray, Broken)]

[Shield of the Three-Headed Dragon (Gray, Broken): A uniquely crafted shield originally intended as a three-headed dog prototype, designed to create three enhanced resistance magic shields.

However, due to the creator’s abundance of resources, it ended up as an absurdly exceptional shield, reaching the pinnacle of Purple Quality.

Given its level, naming it after a three-headed dog seemed inadequate, hence its new name: Shield of the Three-Headed Dragon.

However, after the user turned skeleton, the shield shifted to an Undead Attribute, downgrading to a standard Purple Quality.

Further damage from having been sliced in two caused it to lose most of its Power, dropping it to Gray Quality.

If you find a Master Blacksmith specializing in shield crafting, it may be restored to Blue Peak Quality.

Whether it can ever return to Purple Quality depends on luck.]

Browsing through the details of the Shield of the Three-Headed Dragon, Gu Xi realized its origin.

He returned the Shield of the Three-Headed Dragon to Shaya.

"Shaya, investigate who previously owned this item, see who is plotting against us and attacking from the shadows."
