I have a Synthesizer

As Andrei ascended in the elevator, he casually pressed the alarm buttons for each floor. Just as he reached the 12th floor, a sense of impending doom suddenly arose from above.

"Hiss!"

A streak of black light tore through the elevator's ceiling, slashing towards Andrei. He immediately drew his dark sword to parry Lilith's attack, shattering the black scythe's strike into two.

However, even after being severed, the massive strike retained immense destructive power, the violent energy severing the elevator's entire structure and shattering it.

Without support, the elevator began to plummet rapidly, Andrei falling along with it.

But how could Andrei allow himself to fall with the elevator? He abruptly grabbed the wall, stood on it, and with a burst of strength, leaped upwards.

Yet, as he broke through the 12th floor's ceiling once more, a surge of scorching power came hurtling towards him.

At this distance and within this range, an uncompressed Fireball Spell nearly filled the space where the elevator had been, leaving no room to evade, not even for a fifth-tier expert.

"What the hell is this energy intensity?"

"Boom!"

The Fireball Spell detonated in front of Andrei, the intense shockwave shattering his Shadow Shield. The violent explosion injured Andrei, a Shadow Swordsman, on the spot, and the force sent him hurtling back to the Skull Society's 19th floor.

"Bang!"

As Andrei crashed heavily onto the ground, Klein's assault did not cease. A sense of danger returned once more.

"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"

Six enormous, misshapen bone spears, like solid cannonballs, impaled the ground around him. One of the ghouls Andrei had summoned earlier was instantly crushed to death by Klein's massive bone spears.

Simultaneously, these deformed bone spears began to shatter erratically, followed by a violent explosion of Shadowflame.

"Boom!"

Andrei sacrificed another ghoul, ordering it to release all of its magical power at once, forming an egg-shaped magical shield around him.

Although an egg-shaped magical shield offered the weakest defense, he had no choice but to use this method to defend against the opponent's all-encompassing, inescapable attack.

Watching the fierce explosion below and the Shadowflame spreading in all directions, Lilith said to Klein from the elevator entrance:

"Is that it? Is he finished?"

Klein shook his head with a smile.

"It's not that easy. The opponent is a fifth-tier expert, and the first one we've faced independently. Even if we give it our all, we might not be able to defeat him decisively. We only caught him off guard just now."

"Then should we pursue him now? There's a certain risk in going down there rashly like this. Or should we wait for him to come up?"

Klein shook his head again: "Waiting for him to come up is giving him time to prepare. The opponent is fifth-tier, and because I don't know what kind of abilities he'll bring out in a short time, I don't want to give him time to prepare.

So let's go down. I'll go first, you follow behind me, and attack directly."

"Okay!"

In battle, Klein usually commands, and Lilith obeys. Although Lilith is a Death Knight with astonishing defense, she wouldn't question Klein's decision to go first like some brain-dead individuals might. Perhaps that's trust.

Klein leaped down the elevator shaft, heading straight for the Skull Society's 19th floor. Lilith gripped her great scythe tightly and followed.

… …

Meanwhile, Seth, who had been fighting Gwen on the 19th floor, retreated rapidly. Using various bone magic spells and the interception of skeleton sprites, he finally managed to hold Gwen back.

The skeleton sprites battling Gwen were quickly torn into segments of shattered bone.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, Seth finally reached the emergency teleportation array on the 19th floor specifically used for escape, and directly chose to flee to the outskirts. Fighting a fighter in a place like the base was truly unwise.

Fighters don't have armor, they don't have weapons, they extend all their strengthening direction to their own bodies.

Therefore, fighters like Gwen have a close combat ability that is more domineering and outrageous than warriors and knights. They push the fusion of their muscles and fighting spirit to the extreme, unleashing their maximum attack with every strike.

Moreover, a large number of Fear Knights began to appear around Gwen.

Not to mention the overwhelming number of third-tier summons that appeared. In a wilderness environment like this, Seth displayed the power of a necromancer to the fullest.

"Alright, young lady, let's continue!"

… …

Lying on the ground, Andrei slowly got up. The Shadowflame had burned off all of his hair and eyebrows, and large areas of his skin were in a state of decay.

Many of his bones were broken, and many places where the muscles facing the explosion had been torn. It was hard to imagine that such a violent attack had been caused by a third-tier professional.

Even few fourth-tier experts could achieve such an attack effect, and Andrei already sensed that two people above were rapidly approaching.

"They dare to chase down so directly, a perfect opportunity to take care of one of them."

Andrei gripped his dark sword tightly and thrust it towards Klein, who was flying straight down. Klein also drew the Light of Hui Yue at the same time, meeting his gaze.

Having been ambushed and injured continuously, Andrei thrust his sword at Klein with all his anger.

"Die!"

The dark sword stabbed upwards, while Klein's Hui Yue simultaneously descended. The two swords crossed paths parallel to each other, without colliding.

Just as the dark sword was about to touch Klein, Klein's face began to turn into mist, and the dark sword passed right through his misty form.

Andrei was momentarily stunned, subconsciously reaching out to grab Klein's Light of Hui Yue. But Klein's body, having passed through the dark sword, actually solidified again, and he smiled at Andrei, holding Hui Yue:

"The last person who held this sword is already dead, and her name was Faki Si. I don't know if you know her."

Hearing that Faki Si had died under this sword, Andrei hesitated subconsciously, because Faki Si's strength was definitely above his.

Without thinking too much, Andrei finally gave up the idea of grabbing the Light of Hui Yue. This sword was too strange, there was no need to take risks, so he used the power of darkness to shake Klein's Hui Yue away.

However, this action of his was exactly what Klein wanted. The Light of Hui Yue suddenly lengthened, and a large number of threads wrapped around Andrei.

Klein infused each thread with a large amount of magical power. His purpose was simple: to deplete Andrei's current magical power.

In desperation, Andrei had no choice but to use the power of darkness again to dispel Klein's threads.

Klein, having succeeded in his strategy, landed on the ground, and Andrei kicked at him, but before making contact with Klein, Klein's body turned into black mist again, and Andrei's attack missed again.

Lilith's scythe blade had already slashed down, the black line of Dark Harvest slashing towards Andrei. Andrei pointed a finger at the tip of Dark Harvest, using a large amount of dark power again to block Lilith's attack.

After blocking Lilith's attack this time, Andrei also began to pant slightly. Although he also had a lot of magic power, the total amount was far less than Faki Si's, not to mention that Faki Si had various methods of restoring mana.

"Bone Lock Chains!"

The surrounding floating broken bones began to connect into strands of silver thread, but Andrei was, after all, a member of the Skull Society. As a Shadow Magus Swordsman, he also had the ability to summon ghouls.

After realizing the danger of the Bone Lock Chains, he immediately used Shadow Transfer to replace himself with a ghoul, while he retreated to the center of the 19th floor.

After taking a few deep breaths, Andrei gradually calmed down. Klein's abilities were very strange, and Lilith's attacks were also very powerful, but none of this could defeat him.

Klein and Lilith also came out of the elevator shaft. After they looked at each other, Klein slowly said:

"He's calmed down. It's a bit of a pity that the continuous surprise attacks didn't succeed. The next battle might be a bit dangerous."

Although Andrei had an adventure, his fifth tier was not achieved by slacking off, but was actually promoted by himself. He first looked at Klein and said slowly:

"The ability to mist and immunize attacks, long-range fireball attacks, as well as special bone spear attacks, shadow power, close combat ability, and a powerful weapon, truly amazing combat power.

You are Klein Alex, right? I've heard of you, but I won't give you another chance."

After analyzing Klein, Andrei turned his attention to Lilith on the side.

"Fast and direct attack methods, powerful attacks, very pure close combat ability. Compared to him, I prefer to have a straightforward battle with someone like you.

Okay, I roughly know your abilities. Now, let's have the second round of battle. After all, I am a fifth tier, if I lose like this, it would be too embarrassing."

"If the rank can determine everything, then everyone doesn't need to fight in the future. Just compare who has the higher rank, and the lower one directly surrenders. Is that what you mean?"

Klein began to walk towards the right, under the wide military uniform of the Dark Crusaders, the bones in Klein's body began to slowly squirm on his back, always in a state of eruption.
