Barazeth plummeted like a meteor, his colossal body, carrying a destructive shockwave, slammed into the center of the Adventurer camp.
Boom!
An invisible surge of energy exploded in a ring, carrying fragments of crushed Dark Creaturess and Dark Energy, instantly flinging hundreds of the closest Adventurers into the air.
Adventurers who had transformed into Tank Zombies, Minotaur Behemoths, and Stone Giants bore the brunt, attempting to shield their fellow Adventurers from the impact.
However, under such immense force, their hardened rock-like skin cracked inch by inch, and they vanished into white light with wails of agony.
Other Adventurers behind the behemoths, having lost their front-line defense, were swept away by the shockwave like leaves caught in a storm.
The entire center of the Adventurer formation was violently gouged out, creating a massive crater where countless Dark Creaturess and Adventurers were annihilated.
With this single strike,
at least several hundred Adventurers died instantly, and another two to three thousand suffered varying degrees of injury.
"Hold the line!"
Chen Jiu's roar echoed through the communication channel, mixed with static from the energy impact, "Wu Yue, Shu Ai, use area-of-effect healing and shields! Everyone else, immediately establish a front-line defense, adjust your positions, and prepare to counterattack!"
Wu Yue's eyes were bloodshot, and black threads began to seep from the depths of his pupils, signaling the activation of the T-Virus: Gigantification state.
Wu Yue's body rapidly grew, increasing in size by 50% in a blink of an eye.
After using Gigantification, his physique would also strengthen.
The enhancement reached its maximum limit of 300%, greatly boosting both his Health and Defense.
And for the Paladin class, its skill attributes are linked to physique, so after using the T-Virus, the effects of Wu Yue's various skills were greatly enhanced at all times.
He slammed the cross in his hand heavily onto the ground:
"Wind of Holy Healing!"
"Slow Healing!"
Two consecutive area-of-effect healing skills were cast.
A gentle golden aura radiated from him, forcefully stabilizing the vitality of his surrounding comrades.
At the same time, the golden mark of "Guardian Emblem" appeared on all Adventurers within the nearby range, providing them with a layer of tough protection.
Finally, under the blessing of "Honorary Blessing,"
Adventurers within a certain range around him felt their strength greatly amplified.
Shu Ai's zither music also began to play.
The melodious zither music of "Night and Dream" healed the Health of those around her.
Under the blessings of these two healers, Adventurers who had suffered many injuries found their wounds completely healed, and two layers of shields were applied to them.
Barazeth probably never dreamed that the opponent would possess such powerful healing abilities.
Under Chen Jiu's command, the formation was quickly re-arranged.
The front line moved forward.
The squishy damage dealers retreated to the back, to prevent being instantly killed by AoE attacks later.
While everyone was adjusting.
Barazeth, having landed a successful strike, gave them no time to catch their breath; his colossal palm, like a mountain, slammed down, imbued with powerful Dark Energy, targeting Wu Yue and Shu Ai, who were providing healing and attribute boosts.
Shadows enveloped them, and the oppressive sensation of death was suffocating.
"You wish!" Segelhardt, Lord of Light's figure instantly appeared beneath the giant palm, his entire body glowing with unprecedented intensity.
Like a burning star.
"Shield of Light: Bulwark!" A colossal, diamond-shaped shield, composed of pure light energy, appeared out of thin air, forcefully propping up the sky-obscuring dark giant palm. This shield almost condensed all the light power within his body.
Rumble!
The light shield vibrated violently, cracks spreading, and Segelhardt's figure was also pushed downwards.
The energy gap was immense.
Segelhardt, Lord of Light, despite his utmost efforts, could only barely hold out.
"We can't wait any longer, Brother Jiu..."
Li Shenyu's eyes gleamed sharply, and Red Hare, sensing his master's fighting spirit, neighed like thunder.
Unrivaled power once again filled his entire body.
Golden battle aura shot into the sky, like a pillar of light.
"Now, focus fire!"
Chen Jiu's voice rang out in the communication channel; he also knew they couldn't drag it out any longer.
Barazeth's power was immense; continuing to delay would only result in more casualties, and by then, they might not even be able to land a focused attack.
Since they had already decided to give these underground fellows a welcoming gift,
then...
they would definitely deliver their strongest blow while at full strength. Even if it didn't kill this guy, it would teach him a lesson and make them understand that from now on, the offensive and defensive roles had reversed!
"Are we finally going to focus fire? That's great, my darlings have been itching to go!"
Zhang Shiyu was the first to shout excitedly.
The moment T-Virus: Ten Directions Psionics activated, the hundreds of G-14 grenades, G-18C freezing grenades, G-35L electro-shock grenades, C4 missiles, napalm bombs, etc., loaded in her magazine… all the ammunition, under her psionic control, flew up at the same time and slammed towards Barazeth's goat-like forehead.
In this void of darkness, the effectiveness of firearms was not as great as in the Dark World.
The reason they were so powerful in the Dark World was entirely due to the skewed combat power index.
However, in this void of darkness, the firearms that Adventurers transformed into were no different from the firearms in the hands of ordinary firearm monsters.
Therefore, the tactics from the Dark World were not effective here.
However...
Even if the Dark World tactics were unusable, Zhang Shiyu had another set of tactics.
That was to make the magazine capacity larger, pre-load all grenades and special rounds, and then use psionic control.
This allowed for instant burst damage.
When dealing with powerful Dark Creaturess like Barazeth, they didn't have much time to deal damage; Segelhardt, Lord of Light could only hold out for a fleeting moment.
This time was only enough to unleash a big move, therefore...
Zhang Shiyu's instant burst still carried significant weight. As for herself, she had already unleashed her awakened skill.
"EMP Magnetic Storm!"
A giant, somewhat grenade-like mobile device descended from the sky, landing on Barazeth's forehead.
Instantly.
Magnetic storm energy erupted from this mobile device, instantly enveloping the entire goat head.
At the same time,
other Contract Adventurer also used their awakened skills, seizing this fleeting opportunity.
They unleashed their strongest killing moves.
