In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

They formed a shield formation, advancing while also providing extremely high defensive capabilities.

As Tsukikawa approached, they all thrust out their long spears.

However, these attacks were easily deflected by Tsukikawa Shu's sword, and all the spears were sent flying.

"cut!"

Tsukikawa Shuu once again moved closer, using her swordsmanship to strangely bypass the skeleton soldiers who tried to block her way.

The sword flashed sharply, forming a winding silver trail around the necks of the skeleton soldiers.

Tsukikawa Hiiragi slipped behind the shield bearers.

Subsequently, these elite shield bearers all began to crumble, breaking off from their necks and then their bodies were pulverized by the powerful sword energy.

"Roar!!!"

At this moment, the Saint Zombie entered berserk mode and roared as it charged towards Tsukikawa Hiiragi.

The saintly zombie, wielding a long spear, instantly unleashed countless chilling glints, thrusting directly at Tsukikawa Hibiki.

"Sword Technique - Mountain Split!"

However, Tsukikawa Shu didn't have many moves; he simply gathered sword energy on his katana and slashed at the incoming spear.

It was still the first move of that legendary sword technique, but even with just this one move, the Saint Zombie couldn't withstand it.

The swordsman made contact with the long spear, and the spear immediately shattered into dust.

The Saint Zombie was knocked away again, and this time the injuries were even more severe.

From that withered, exposed black body, you could see that many of the ribs had been destroyed, and the jagged white bones pierced through the dry, black skin.

"Truly worthy of being called the Tomb of Saints, it actually withstood two legendary-level sword techniques without dying."

Tsukikawa Shuu was quite impressed.

Not only were they impressed, but they also thoroughly enjoyed it.

Any monster she encountered before, regardless of its level, was instantly killed by Tsukikawa Shuu. Among the creatures she could find, none were her match.

This also meant that Tsukikawa Shuu was unable to test the accuracy of his legendary-level damage, which was quite frustrating.

Tsukikawa Shuu was in charge of dealing with the Saint Zombie, while the others were dealing with the attacks of the elite skeleton soldiers.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others soon went from dealing with the monsters' attacks to surrounding and killing them.

These skeleton soldiers were retreating steadily. Although they were elite monsters, to Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others, they were just monsters with slightly more health.

With each punch Hiratsuka Shizuka threw, swarms of skeleton soldiers fell to the ground.

Originally, these skeleton soldiers wanted to form a formation to eliminate Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others, but in the face of absolute power, all their fancy tricks were in vain.

The experience bar was rising rapidly.

These elite monsters were originally invincible to ordinary players at this stage. They had high attack power and high defense, and they could also form a formation, making them quite difficult to deal with.

But for Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others, this was not a problem at all; on the contrary, they were highly sought after.

The experience points and materials dropped by the elite skeleton monsters here are much higher than outside, and the dropped materials are also more valuable.

Chapter 233 (Two in One)

Gradually, Hiratsuka Shizuka's role shifted from clearing out the mobs for the team to chasing and killing these skeleton soldiers. Each punch pulverized more than ten, even twenty, skeletons, and her experience points increased rapidly.

Not to be outdone, Ijichi Nijika waved her magic wand continuously, skillfully summoning wind blades, fireballs, lightning, and various other skills to attack the skeleton soldiers.

Her profession allows her to increase the health of all teammates by damaging opponents.

However, since the start of the battle, all the teams on this side have remained unscathed, and the current situation is roughly as follows:

Ijichi Nijika: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Hiratsuka Shizuka: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Yuigahama Yui: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Fujiwara Chika: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Goto Ichiri: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Tsukikawa Shuu: Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000, Full HP +1000...

Does this heal work? Yes, it does! And the amount of health restored is quite significant.

But it's completely useless now.

Originally, Ijichi Nijika used lightning, a skill that targets single targets and can penetrate armor, dealing extremely high damage.

It wasn't until she discovered that all the skeletons struck by lightning had turned into piles of coal dust that she realized these monsters weren't worth using her high-damage single-target skill on.

Then they all changed them into wide-area damage skills.

"Wind Blade!"

"Fireball!"

"Shadow Bind!"

"burst!"

After all her skills were converted into area-of-effect damage skills, Ichiji Nijika's experience points continued to rise, and she quickly broke through her level and reached level 61.

bang bang bang bang bang...

Fujiwara Chika kept pulling the trigger, and without even using enhanced bullets, she could take them down one by one with each shot.

When the bullets ran out, she quickly replaced them with new ones and kept firing. She managed to make the sniper rifle feel like a submachine gun. It was just a pity that the sniper rifle was not suitable for sweeping and that there were too few bullets. Otherwise, Fujiwara Chika really wanted to have a good time.

"Really."

Seeing the destructive power of the others, she became somewhat anxious.

Everyone else has area-of-effect attack skills, but she only has single-target attacks. When dealing with these massive numbers of skeletons, her damage output is actually the lowest.

Then look back.

Even though Goto Ichiri is a support character who excels at control, she has already dealt a significant amount of damage at this point.

The purple smoke she emits can not only bind enemies like ropes, but also unleash a strangulation skill, killing all the bound monsters.

With this, Goto Ichiri's output was also quite considerable.

To be precise, all classes and skills with area-of-effect attacks were quite effective.

"Why do I feel like my damage output is the weakest? When fighting bosses, my damage output is second only to my darling's." She sighed, a little dejected, as she hugged her sniper rifle.

"Haha... Don't be too discouraged." Yui Yuigahama walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

“My output is the lowest,” Yui Yuigahama laughed.

"How can you compare them!" Fujiwara Chika said helplessly, "You're a pure support character."

“Yes, I’m the only one who’s purely support.” Yui Yuigahama smiled.

He's a support character who provides a shield, though the shield is often unnecessary since Tsukikawa Shuu and the others rely on instant kills to overcome obstacles.

"I don't want to be compared to a support player," Fujiwara Chika said.

"Haha, Chika, don't be discouraged. Your profession isn't meant for dealing with groups," Yui Yuigahama comforted her.

"Thank you for your comforting words." Fujiwara Chika squeezed her hand. "However, I still need to kill a few more."

She then abandoned the sniper rifle and instead used two pistols to continue the hunt.

Holding two guns and firing continuously is indeed much more efficient than using a sniper rifle.

……

……

Moving a little further back in time, on the other side, to the left of the fork in the road, the Blue Wolf Gang was still advancing.

There were quite a few people following behind him. They were all fans of Lowell, or people who still thought Lowell was quite capable and wanted to follow him around and get some benefits.

And so, the group of people continued their journey in a grand procession.

The further you go, the lower the terrain becomes, and there are even stone steps leading down.

There were some wandering skeletons along the way, but they were all swarmed and eliminated by the group.

"This ruin doesn't seem too difficult to kill. The skeletons we've encountered along the way haven't been much stronger than when we first met them outside," someone remarked.

"I think the real difficulty lies ahead; the rest of the troops are just some weak soldiers."

Another person laughed.

"That would be great." The former laughed as well.

"Don't be careless. Although we may not encounter any powerful monsters here right now, those powerful monsters may be hiding in the main tomb chamber. This is just the calm before the storm."

Lowell said this in a very composed and experienced tone.

"As expected of Lord Lowell, he always has such foresight."

"Yes, Lord Lowell is right. We should be vigilant, but we must not let our guard down and get ambushed."
