“Idiots!” Bonnie cursed as she vanished in a blur, charging straight toward the demon race army, positioning herself in front of them.
“Get out of my way!” The leader, a tier-seven demon emperor, roared as he rushed toward Bonnie.
Boom!
A deafening explosion erupted as a terrifying wave of dark energy surged. The demon emperor had no chance to resist and was obliterated by a single palm strike from Bonnie.
Her overwhelming power instantly struck fear into the demon race army, freezing them in place, too scared to advance.
“Tanya, get out here!” Bonnie glared coldly at Tanya, who was hidden among the demon army.
“Y-You… Lady Bonnie?!” Tanya stood frozen, dumbfounded for a long moment before finally rushing out from the demon race ranks, dropping to her knees before Bonnie with a sob, “Lady Bonnie, you’re alive! It’s such a relief…”
“Lady Bonnie!” The dark elves behind her also quickly reacted, kneeling in reverence.
Bonnie was about to lash out in anger, but seeing Tanya’s pitiful expression, her heart softened.
She could imagine the pressure Tanya had faced all these years, leading the dark elves through hardship and struggle.
“Stand up and speak. All of you, get up.” Bonnie stepped forward and personally helped Tanya to her feet, her tone gentle, “You’ve suffered enough over the years.”
Tanya wiped away her tears, a bright smile spreading across her face. “It’s nothing, really. By the way, Lady Bonnie, the Faction System has opened. If we take down this Saint Martial Sect and establish our own faction, the dark elves will surely return to their former glory.”
Bonnie’s expression turned cold in an instant, and she barked, “Saint Martial Sect is Godslayer’s faction.”
“Godslayer?” Tanya looked both surprised and confused. “You know that guy, too? He owes me a wager, but now that you’re back, that doesn’t matter anymore. He also has the scroll to the Secret Area in the Sea of Death. I’ll kill him and take it back!”
Her eyes gleamed as she locked onto John, who was fighting fiercely on the battlefield, ready to make her move.
“Stop!” Bonnie blocked her path, her voice icy, “That man is my savior.”
“What?” Tanya froze, her gaze darting between John and Bonnie, bewildered, “So, what do we do?”
Bonnie didn’t explain further. With a wave of her hand, countless dark arrows shot forward, tearing through the demon race army.
Cries of anguish echoed as the demon race soldiers stood no chance against a tier-eight powerhouse.
“Charge!” Tanya quickly understood the situation, letting out a battle cry as she joined the fray, attacking the demon race forces.
The dark elves had officially switched sides.
The sound of battle echoed across the field.
The Beast Clan, elves, and Undying Legion became the primary force in the fight. The Flame Legion and Saint Martial Sect disciples fell back, supporting from a distance with ranged attacks.
“Sini, join the party!” John called out, slaughtering the various forces with ease. The strongest among them were only tier-seven, which posed no threat to him.
This was a perfect opportunity to help Sini level up.
“Boss, don’t forget me!”
“Brother-in-law, I want in, too!”
Ritchie and Armstrong quickly reacted, both sending party requests.
John didn’t hesitate and pulled everyone into the party.
The armies of the various races were vast and powerful, but they stood no chance against Sara and the other tier-eight legendary powerhouses.
Especially Behemoth, who charged into the heart of the army, swinging his massive arm. His enormous palm blotted out the sky, and with each strike, he crushed countless enemies beneath him.
It was almost effortless. In just half an hour, the armies of the various races had suffered more than half their numbers in casualties.
In the distance, the players were left stunned, their jaws practically hitting the ground in shock.
“These guys are terrifying. Thank God they’re not our enemies.”
“Totally agree.”
“I think Behemoth is the strongest. He’s like Tyson bullying a bunch of kids.”
“Godslayer is the strongest, hands down! No debate!”
“Agreed!”
“Agreed +1!”
“Stop standing around, it’s time to pick off the stragglers!”
…
One player’s reminder got everyone moving as they began lurking at the edges of the battlefield, looking for weakened enemies to finish off.
Everyone quickly followed suit.
At this point, those in ranged classes had the easiest time, their arrows and magic raining down endlessly, without a care for their own safety.
The situation had shifted dramatically. The armies of the various races were rapidly dwindling in number, no longer posing any significant threat.
“Attack!” Suddenly, more battle cries echoed from the forest as another wave of enemies
charged forth.
This time, it was the Orcs!
And they were all elite Orcs, tier six and above. Leading the charge were two terrifying figures, both of them tier-eight legendary warriors.
“Hmm?” John frowned, a faint wisp of a remnant soul appeared in his hand, flickering weakly.
This was the remnant soul Ben had given him, which could sense the presence of the Jade
Heart Lotus.
And now, the remnant soul was reacting!
John’s eyes gleamed as he locked onto one of the tier-eight Orc leaders.
The remnant soul’s reaction was coming from that Orc. However, the Jade Heart Lotus wasn’t
on him-he had only used its power for his cultivation.
It seemed the Jade Heart Lotus was in the hands of the Orcs!
“These two are mine!” Sara declared as lightning crackled around her, charging toward the
two tier-eight Orc leaders.
“One for each of us!” Bonnie added as she dashed toward one of the Orc leaders.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a powerful spatial ripple tore through the air, and the sky above was forcefully
ripped open.
“Attack!” Another wave of battle cries rang out-it was the Dark Humans, pouring out from the spatial rift. Leading them were two more tier-eight legendary figures. Among them were seven angels, though they were only tier-seven Two-Winged Angels.
Even so, John felt a slight pressure. He quickly asked, “Shall we summon the two elders for
help?”
He was referring to Tony and Ben, the two tier-nine powerhouses.
“No need, we can handle it!” Behemoth, filled with battle intent, roared and charged straight
at the two tier-eight Dark Human leaders.
However, with the loss of his arm, his strength had been weakened, and he couldn’t
overpower the two of them.
“Lord Behemoth, I’ll help you!” Black Turtle suddenly rushed in to join the fight.
Though Black Turtle was only at the early stage of tier-eight and no match for the two Dark Human leaders, he could at least relieve some of the pressure on Behemoth.
They just needed to hold out until Sara and Bonnie finished off the two other tier-eight enemies, and then they could come to assist.
Meanwhile, John wasn’t idle either. He locked his sights on the tier-seven enemies scattered
across the battlefield.
Luckily, he had brought several tier-seven experts back from the Abyss, and they were barely able to fend off the incoming attacks.
“Let’s take out this human first!” came a shout, and two Two-Winged Angels charged directly
at John.
“Hmph!” John snorted coldly, and a surge of powerful battle energy erupted around him. He wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the two angels’ onslaught.
Buzz!
The Infinite Sword Array activated, with countless sword blades flashing through the air, blanketing the enemies below. Those below tier-seven were instantly slain.
Next, a flash of sword light followed, accompanied by a howling Dark Orb. John’s Unrivaled Sword Dance and the dark magic Annihilation simultaneously struck, each targeting one of the
Two-Winged Angels.
Boom! Boom!
Two explosions rang out, and the angels nearly fell from the sky, glaring at John in shock and
disbelief.
“True damage! Human, have you comprehended the Power of Laws?” they asked, exchanging glances, now showing no hint of underestimation as they attacked John again.
The air buzzed with sword intent, and magic whistled through the battlefield. John faced the two Two-Winged Angels head-on, and not only did he hold his ground, but he
also forced the angels into a precarious position, suppressing them with ease. “Damn it, this human is too strange. The two of us aren’t enough to handle him,” they muttered, retreating once more, completely shaken by the realization.
“Yuna, Susan, help us take down this human!” they called out, summoning two more Two-
Winged Angels to join the fight. All four teamed up to attack John.
Buzz!
Holy Light flickered, and four pillars of radiant energy came crashing down, sealing off all of
John’s escape routes.
Boom!
With a massive explosion, John was obliterated on the spot.
[You have been slain by the Two-Winged Angels. The Blessed Ring skill has activated, and you
are resurrected at full health.]
The notification flashed.
The four Two-Winged Angels were just about to check for loot when they saw John standing
before them, fully healed. They froze, utterly dumbfounded.
“You didn’t die?” one of the Two-Winged Angels asked in shock.
“Hmph, how shameless,” John spat angrily. Dark energy surged from him, instantly
enveloping the four Two-Winged Angels.
Dark magic skill-Dark Descent!
The four angels were affected by the dark power, their attributes reduced by 12%.
Without hesitation, John unleashed a combination of Annihilation, Dark Storm, and Flying
Sword Strike, focusing his assault on one of the Two-Winged Angels.
To his advantage, he triggered two magic combos.
“No…” The targeted Two-Winged Angel, already low on health, was obliterated on the spot.
[You have slain a tier-seven Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.04 million experience points.] [Plunder talent activated: Luck +1, Skill Points +20.]
The system notification flashed as the angel’s form vanished. She, like the others, was only connected to the world of Gods through special means and didn’t suffer true death. “Now it’s your turn,” John said, raising his hand and unleashing three more spells. This time, however, they weren’t dark magic, so the damage was significantly lower. Even with the skill combos triggered, the target wasn’t killed.
Nevertheless, the Two-Winged Angel’s health dropped below one million. With a look of terror, she turned to flee without hesitation.
“You won’t escape,” John scoffed. Activating Sword Mastery, he launched the Three-Foot Black
Dragon Sword, which split into three and pursued the weakened Two-Winged Angel, tearing her apart.
[You have slain a tier-seven Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.04 million experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated: Divinity +1.]
John gained another point of Divinity.
The remaining two Two-Winged Angels finally realized the gravity of the situation. Without
a second thought, they fled in opposite directions.
John, his skills off cooldown, summoned his dark power once more. With a swift gesture, he
unleashed another round of magical attacks.
Dark Storm, Annihilation, and Inferno Dance.
The combo triggered again, and the fleeing angel had no chance to resist, falling instantly.
[You have slain a tier-seven Two-Winged Angel, gaining 1.04 million experience points.] [Plunder talent activated: Spirit +300, Skill Points +20.]
…
[You have accumulated 1 million Kill Score. Plunder talent effect strengthened. New effect
unlocked: Bloodline Plunder.]
The notification flashed, and John’s face lit up with excitement. His Kill Score had finally reached one million, and his Plunder talent had been further strengthened.
Curious, he checked the new effect.
