Whoosh!
Whitey quickly climbed up the tower as if it were walking on land. Its claws were able to grab hold of the cracks within the walls, pouncing up with the two of them on its back. It brought the skeleton cats to fight off the skeleton troops in the back. Each and every one of them was ferocious, fighting while hissing and shrieking loudly.
Alex held onto Whitey’s armor with one hand while looking towards the city gates. He noticed Jade, who had turned into a golden giant, swinging her large Martello Celia about, killing every Undead in her way. She had become the strongest unit on their team, leading the others in the battle.
Their eyes met with each other despite the far distance, as if their hearts were linked as one. Jade nodded at him gently, then continued killing off the enemies.
The Undead in this city were indeed strong, mainly because the scepter was placed at the tallest tower, affecting the entire area. As long as the Undead were within this area, their attack power would increase tremendously, and they would become harder to kill. Even if they managed to kill them, they would revive again. Hence, the humans were having an extremely difficult time in this battle, along with increasing numbers of deaths.
Alex saw Dorothy, Esmeralda, and Daya in the crowd, giving their all.
“Whitey, faster, faster!”
“Meow..!”
Whitey was already quite fast yet continued to speed up.
The tower was thousands of meters tall, so it would be very hard for humans to climb up with their bare hands, especially in this environment. If Whitey hadn’t shown up, Alex didn’t know how long it would’ve taken to get up there.
‘It’s close. It’s so close!’
Finally, they were just ten meters away from the top.
Whoosh!
The humans immediately rushed over, killing off as many Undeads as possible. However, it didn’t seem enough to stop them.
Watching as more Undeads head up, the people noticed that they had reached half of the tower. In another two minutes, they would be able to get the platform they were on.
Phoenix was starting to panic, rushing over to urge Alex.
Alex knew how urgent it was, of course. Hence, he immediately tried contacting the Divine Monarch White Bone, who was still in the Pantheon Tomb at the time, with special methods. Yet he needed to rely on the monarch himself to control the White Bone Scepter. Fortunately, he reached the monarch very quickly, hence transferring energy to handle the scepter.

At the same time, the Earth was facing an extremely dark sky.
