Chapter 280: 280, Final Battle in Orleans City (3): Su Yu Breaks Down the Mage’s Army_1
Bang!
With an earthshaking roar, [King Kong]’s fist, as large as a small car, fiercely smashed into the [Lightning Barrier].
Yet, the [Lightning Barrier] remained undamaged, not even a ripple stirred on it, showing no sign of breaking.
On the contrary, sparks generated by the barrier reacted and clung onto Kong’s fist, scorching it and giving off an appetizing grilled meat aroma.
“Woo” Kong whimpered, hopping to the side and tried to act cute and pitiful towards Su Yu.
“What… What’s going on? Just Tier 4?” The mages from the Mage Corps were in shock.
Initially, they felt a little fear when they saw this thirty-meter-tall colossal creature.
But when they discovered that this big guy was only Tier 4, their shock turned into disdain, replacing all previous fear.
Although the [Lightning Barrier] was characterized by its high magic resistance and weak physical resistance, the idea that a Tier 4 creature could break the [Lightning Barrier] was wishful thinking!
With the physical attack power Kong just demonstrated, even if they stood still and let it pound for ten minutes, it wouldn’t be able to shatter the [Lightning Barrier].
Did Nemesis summon this big thing just for fun?
So, the Mage Corps ignored Kong and continued to use the [Ice Coffin] to lock down Su Yu.
Su Yu of course understood that Kong was unable to break the [Lightning Barrier] because the Tier 4 gear he was wearing could only summon a Tier 4 creature.
After the Mage Corps gathered a huge amount of magical power, their collective strength was already equivalent to a Tier 6 Sanctuary Mage!
A [Lightning Barrier] cast by a Tier 6 Sanctuary Mage certainly could not be broken by a Tier 4 Kong.
Yet Su Yu didn’t mind, he commanded Kong to continue attacking the [Lightning Barrier].
Roar!!!
Kong let out an enraged roar, its charred fists slamming down once again on the [Lightning Barrier].
Bang!
The fists struck the [Lightning Barrier] again, but the [Lightning Barrier] remained unscathed.
In the Mage Corps, a Tier 2 Mage gaped at Kong’s towering form, worriedly saying: “Chief, should we take down this big guy first?”
A Tier 3 Mage standing next to him scoffed: “No need! If it could break through the [Lightning Barrier], I’ll call it daddy… wait, what the hell!”
As the Tier 3 Mage spoke, Kong, ignoring the pain, firmly landed a third punch onto the [Lightning Barrier].
Unlike the previous two punches, the third punch caused the lightning surrounding the [Lightning Barrier] to violently shake.
Almost instantly, the barrier cracked into several chunks, electrical charges dissolved into the air, and the [Lightning Barrier] was suddenly shattered!
The scoff of the Tier 3 Mage was abruptly caught in his throat, his face turning crimson.
Actually, the shattering of the [Lightning Barrier] was not due to Kong’s merit, or because his third punch carried a shield-shattering attribute.
It happened when Kong had just finished the second punch, and the Mage Corps became slightly complacent, Su Yu flashed behind Kong and activated the skill attached to his artifact, the [Moon God Clan Badge]— [Moon God Descends].
([Moon God Descends]: Summons a phantom of the Moon God to attack the enemy. The power of the Moon God’s phantom depends on the summoner’s strength, with a cooldown time of 24 hours.)
The level of the Moon God’s phantom usually ranges from 0-2 levels higher than the summoner. (If the summoner is on the verge of leveling up, such as at level 59 or 69, the level of the Moon God’s phantom is the same as the summoner’s.)
Like Tina, Su Yu is at level 75, and the level of the summoned Moon God’s phantom is 77.
The purpose of Su Yu summoning [King Kong] just now was to use its massive body to obscure the action of summoning the Moon God’s phantom.
As expected, the Mage Army was caught completely off guard. The Moon God Phantom was summoned, and its lance, enveloped in a greyish light, swiftly stabbed the [Lightning Barrier], shattering it instantly.
But just as the Moon God Phantom broke the [Lightning Barrier], the chief mage of the Mage Army waved his wand, and the fifth-level spell, [Ice Coffin], was released.
Noticing the oncoming [Ice Coffin], Su Yu quickly used the [Ice Barrier] skill, allowing him to enter an [immune] state, free from any form of damage or control.
The [Ice Coffin] fell on Su Yu, who had already activated [Ice Barrier], and the word “immune” popped up above his head.
Then he deactivated [Ice Barrier], and used the [Flash Skill], which had just cooled down, to instantly appear in the midst of the rebel Mage crowd.
The group of Mages was completely defenseless against Su Yu. He certainly wouldn’t be polite with them, and directly released the fourth-tier spell – [Dragon Breath].
A giant flaming dragon head formed above Su Yu’s head, and after a brief charging period, it spat out scorching Dragon Breath. The area within a 60-degree cone with a radius of 40 meters in front of him was covered by the breath.
How could these second and third-rank Mages possibly withstand such damage?
Roar!
With the roar of the dragon, the fiery Dragon Breath swept the entire area, vaporizing all the Mages inside and burning them to ash.
Su Yu’s game log also started to flood:
“Ding, you have successfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (second rank)] and earned 100 military merits;”
“Ding, you have successfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (third rank)] and earned 1000 military merits;”
“Ding, you have successfully killed [Kalet Army Mage (second rank)] and earned 100 military merits;”
“Ding, you have successfully killed…”
Just one use of Dragon Breath earned him 20,600 military merits! This means that in one strike, he killed at least dozens of rebel Mages.
Furthermore, Su Yu did not stop there. He immediately activated the second skill of the [Moon God Clan Badge] – [Falling Stars].
A black rift instantly tore open in the sky above the Mage Army, and a large number of miniature meteors began falling towards the ground.
Upon seeing the meteors, the Chief Mage hurriedly cast a fifth-tier group defense spell – [Earth Barrier] in an attempt to block the [Falling Stars].
But under Su Yu’s command, the Moon God Avatar rushed straight towards him, and one [Moon God Charge], took its pointed lance dangerously close to his ear.
In this life-and-death moment, the Chief Mage instantly converted the group defense spell [Earth Barrier] into a single-target defense spell [Earth God Shield], and applied it to himself.
Clang!
The lance struck the [Earth God Shield], and due to the high physical resistance of the [Earth God Shield], it failed to pierce through at once.
But Su Yu’s goal had been achieved.
When the Chief Mage converted the group defense spell into a single-target spell, he essentially sacrificed the lives of all the other Mages to save his own.
The massive wave of meteors crashed into the Mage Army unhindered. Virtually no Mage within the 80-meter radius could withstand it, and a large number of them perished.
