Chapter 756 - Utterly Defeated
The surging torrent swarmed across the land. If the magic cannons and Magic Fleet were like a crazy storm after a devastating typhoon, this rule torrent that Orchid Heart cast would be a huge wave to break the dam. The Undead Army that was still struggling to survive was instantly caught in the tide.
Damn it!
Duran cursed. He was no longer as high-spirited as when he arrived at the city wall. Instead, he looked unusually miserable. Celestina was almost on par with him in terms of strength. However, the lethal negative flames were so terrifying that they forced him back. Initially, he counted on the surface Undead Army to swarm forward and coordinate with him in battle. In the end, he gave up on this hope after the Battle Angel Army and Magic Fleet emerged. Vampires were unlike the Death Knights who had to finish what they started. He immediately fled at the sight of the unfavorable situation, but Celestina kept dragging him back. Now that the main forces of the Undead Army were completely annihilated, he was so frightened that he didn’t have the faith to battle anymore. He dodged Celestina’s chain sword and extended both arms—his pitch-black cape expanded and two mysterious shadows darted toward her with their razor-sharp fangs. Then, he erupted a cloud of black fog from his body that shrouded him entirely before leaping to the night sky.
However, he struck an invisible barrier as soon as he flew. He widened his eyes in astonishment and realized that it was a holy defensive barrier. Lize panted as she stood behind the barrier with a pale expression. Even though she seemed exhausted, she gritted her teeth and raised her right arm.
“… You!”
The fragile barrier lasted for only a few seconds before vanishing into nothingness which was also Lize’s limit. However, she had successfully stopped Duran from escaping and the latter pounced on her furiously.
At this moment, a dark lightning bolt struck and penetrated his heart from behind. Then, dark flames burned from inside-out. Duran let out a blood-curdling screech, staggered, and collapsed to the ground. The dark flames blazed and turned his body into a pile of ashes that drifted into the night sky.
Lize fell to the ground weakly. If any Undead Creature were to attack her now, perhaps she couldn’t even move a finger to defend herself. She gazed forward blankly. Not only did the flashes and growls from above the city walls weaken, but the magic cannons also gradually stopped firing. But this didn’t mean that they weren’t operating anymore. Instead, it was because the enemies were getting fewer. Lize held onto the ice-cold wall for support and looked up at the night sky. At this moment, she only had one thought.
It’s over.
Rhode, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum came to a halt while Erin also stopped launching her attacks. They kept a distance apart and did the same action—they turned to the battlefield before the fortress. There were no signs of the Undead Army anymore. Under the bombardment of the magic cannons, Magic Fleet, and holy spears, the battlefield had been completely scorched. Moreover, the aftermath of the battle between the four legendary beings in the sky was enough to devastate the battlefield. At this moment, the battlefield no longer looked the same—the smooth slope and flat land was replaced by a 10-meters-wide and 100-meters-deep gully. The mountains collapsed and boulders rolled along the slopes. The remains of some Undead Creatures could be clearly seen at the bottom.
There were many times when the threat rankings of BOSSes were gravely different between players and natives. The players didn’t care about how powerful the BOSSes were. Instead, the BOSSes with outstanding combat skills and awareness were their biggest enemies. The Dark Dragon might be powerful, but he was overly-stubborn. Once the battle developed into a stage where both sides had to meet force with force, this was when Rhode and his team felt as though they were fish back in the water. Players weren’t afraid of meeting force with force. Instead, a BOSS like Erin who they couldn’t fathom, often made unpredictable moves, and was as cunning as players gave them the most headaches.
Before interacting with Erin, Rhode didn’t understand too much about her. However, after this battle, he instantly placed her in the top three of the most dangerous enemies that he would face. Initially, he, Canary, and Mini Bubble Gum thought that Erin was only dangerous with her rule power. But they didn’t expect her to be this skillful. Although she didn’t enjoy battles, this was obviously different from not being an expert in battles!
Rhode also nodded in agreement. He turned around and saw Beni leading the Battle Angels toward them. Under the moonlight, the majestic fortress seemed so ever clear as though announcing that this wasn’t a dream.
“No matter what it has finally ended.”
