Chapter 423: Elemental Wave, Violet Orchid’s Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the northern gate of Moonrise City.

Death Jesus charged the Demonic Wings at his back to fly up about thirty meters in the air just outside the city. He hovered at ten meters above the city wall and his eyes scanned quickly across the moving crowd to look for the targets mentioned by Savior.

Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart.

The former was a Tier 5 Radiant Priest while the latter was a newly advanced Tier 5 Titanwraith Berserker. Both of them stood out rather conspicuously among the common crowd. Death Jesus spent only a little time to locate them and a sinister smile was seen under the shadow of his Chromatic dark cloak when he found them.

“Till when do you two plan to hide? Not going to greet me even after I presented myself so openly?” Death Jesus addressed the warrior who now looked at him with a pair of resentful eyes. He was in no rush to finish off his nemesis. The Demon Faction Champion just leisurely put his hands behind his back and made no further movement in midair.

Those Angel Faction players near the north gate could noticeably feel the invincible pressure upon Death Jesus’s arrival. He was, after all, a senior Supreme Champion, who also happened to be the first player in H&G that had fused with Divinity.

Although he was once killed rather embarrassingly by Homme Fatale, nobody remembered him as the fallen demon in the forum’s video. All people could recall now was his bullish confidence and otherworldly strength shown when he fought few Supreme Champions and more than ten Field Commanders all by himself.

Not a single person on top of the city wall dared to engage this man head-on.

Except, of course, Slayer’s Heart, who jumped to the edge of the wall valiantly. Maximized Tier 4 Berserk Blood combined with Tier 5 Berserk Shell instantly covered his body in blood red. Not intimidated by Death Jesus, Slayer’s Heart stood imposingly against him.

“Hmph.” Death Jesus examined the Dark Gold equipment on Slayer’s Heart coldly. He looked away disdainfully and said, “You have not changed after all this time. Still having a hard time eh?”

Slayer’s Heart ignored the sarcasm in Death Jesus tone and replied impassively, “Cut the bullshit. Let’s fight.”

“You? Fight me?” Death Jesus pretended to be shocked and then said grimly, “Are you even worthy?”

“Worthy? Why did you rush here if he’s not? We all heard that you had your sights on Slayer’s Heart earlier. Who are you trying to kid?” Little Apple jumped to the front and stood by Slayer’s Heart side. Although her appearance was not as imposing, her sharp tongue got the applause from players around them.

“Haha! Rightly so! I’ve got your back, Sister Apple!”

“So you are the infamous dead Jesus. Why the lifeless name? No wonder you act and speak like a dead corpse. What’s with the stare? So what if I am talking about you? I am your Brother Da. Come fight me if you dare!”

“Don’t be ill-mannered. He had already said Brother Slayer at Tier 5 is not worthy, what’s more us Tier 4? That guy will never fight weaklings like us.”

“Hard to say, sis. As pretentious as he is, maybe he used to pick on Tier 4 like us and dare not fight Tier 5 Champions.”

Brother Da and Little Apple’s banter immediately offended the previously calm and carefree Death Jesus. Killing intent was written all over his face and he wished to go forth and kill both of them immediately. But he opted not to do so after being called a bully.

“Hmph!” Death Jesus sneered. “No wonder you haven’t changed a bit. I guess you’ve put all the effort in honing your boastfulness after mixing with this bunch of rookies. I am not here for quarrel but to kill. Prepare to die!”

“Who the hell is this? What a foul mouth!” A strange voice was suddenly heard among the crowd. Slayer’s Heart and Violet Orchid were heartened by the new voice. It was none other than Black Rock!

Before the noise settled, a glaring pair of Angelic Wings burst out from the crowd. An Elementalist covered in Barrier abruptly shot up from the city wall into the air.

Death Jesus squinted because of the glaring light and retreated subconsciously in no time.

“What a coward.”

Black Rock had expected that Death Jesus would not dare to remain suspended in midair alongside him. He laughingly mocked the enemy and this effectively removed the pressure imposed on the Angel Faction by Death Jesus.

“You are the guy who fused with Earth-type Divinity at the Trading Hall, am I right?” Ignoring the mocking, Death Jesus asked coldly. He did not expect an unwelcomed guest to show up.

Death Jesus was, in fact, afraid to fight the opponent above the city wall. While in the air, his enemy could easily bring him down by casting a Tier 5 AoE offensive spell. For someone who had experienced something similar in the past, that incident had left a permanent scar on him.

He did not want the same tragedy to happen before the public again. Never!

As for Black Rock, he was not entirely fearless either.

His opponent was no doubt a more experienced player than him with long-established fame. The Legendary set on Death Jesus and the apparent gap in their fighting experience did terrify him.

If they fight for real, he did not actually have the confidence...

To him, being able to delay Death Jesus for a little while more would be considered a huge victory. He only needed to buy time until Qin Ruo arrived. ‘We will outnumber him then.’

Black Rock shifted his gaze and answered Death Jesus, who had just landed carefully on the War Behemoth’s back, “How did you know?”

“Not many players still wear Dark Gold equipment after fusing with Divinity aside from the few of you...” Death Jesus insulted Black Rock. He had identified the opponent’s true identity the moment he got a clear view of his Dark Gold equipment. He was relieved and said, “But finally someone who is worthy to be killed by me.”

Death Jesus flapped his Demonic Wings and accelerated toward the city wall right after he finished his sentence. He had neglected Black Rock pitiful attempt to hold him back with words.

“F*ck! You son of a bitch!”

Death Jesus’s lightning quick strike caught Black Rock by surprise. He never wanted to fight a seasoned Tier 5 Champion alone. ‘For god sake, this is beyond my league!’

All of a sudden, a golden light ball was shot out from behind Black Rock and Slayer’s Heart.

‘Violet Orchid?’

Players around them were surprised to see the Radiant Priest that usually stayed behind as a supportive role, take the initiative. ‘What a bold move by the Radiant Priest!’

Slayer’s Heart and Little Apple, on the other hand, were used to Violet Orchid active attacks. Ever since Violet Orchid claimed the Mutated Violet Fox, her overall attacking ability had been enhanced dramatically. After she reached Tier 5, Violet Orchid even transformed from pure support to a more balanced battle class that encompasses both support and attacking duties. Her current battle capability was almost on par to that of Slayer’s Heart.

She summoned the Mutated Violet Fox and sat steadily on its back. After the golden ball was released, Slayer’s Heart tacitly moved up to the back of the War Behemoth behind the spell and charged in like a war god.

At the same time, more than ten Tier 5 Champions from the Angel Faction also charged out simultaneously following Slayer’s Heart.

Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart took over the commanding duty from Black God when he left the battlefield earlier. They temporarily had the final say over the members of more than ten clans stationed at the northern gate.

Before Black God surfaced, Violet Orchid and Slayer’s Heart had already drafted the plan to counter against Death Jesus.

Black Rock happened to become the fuse that initiated the retaliation. He was also the main reason his comrades no longer hesitated to fight against the foe first deemed overly powerful. As long as someone could hold Death Jesus in check in the air, Death Jesus threat would be minimized.

Pop!

The golden ball suddenly exploded when it was close to Death Jesus.

In the midst of the crisp sound, a blinding glow emanated out from the light ball like physical waves right above the War Behemoth.

Znnnng!

Bright light immediately spread across the entire battle zone.

Death Jesus instantly regretted his underestimation over the attack launched by Violet Orchid.

“This is... Shit! Retreat! Fall back everyone!”

A tremendous Elemental Wave boiled over. His Elemental Perception was instantaneously blocked. Death Jesus’s expression changed drastically as he halted his rush and began to fly backward with all his might. At the same time, he tried to warn the more than ten Tier 5 Champions that had climbed above the War Behemoth.

But his warning came too late.

Although the Tier 5 Priest spell Elemental Wave did not possess any apparent offensive attribute, its most unique feat was its light speed and the ability to dissolve all kinds of altered elemental energy within range.

It was just like an enhanced, unavoidable version of Purify.

Within the spell range, all Element beings controlled by players returned to their original state.

Immediately, more than ten Tier 5 Champions’ Elemental Perception including Death Jesus’s were forcefully interrupted. The feeling of having everything under control taken away from them was tough to swallow. This was like their all-seeing eyes were being taken away from them. Unusual and sudden grief filled the hearts of those affected Elementalists. Not only that, their actual eyes were also affected by the bright glare released by the spell and everything became blurry to them.

It was torturing!

Extremely torturing!

At that moment, the intense feeling of void and sadness caused the Demon Faction players on the back of the War Behemoth to become disorderly.

After Violet Orchid cast her ultimate, more than ten Tier 5 Champions on top of the city wall jumped off at the same time. They had turned from gutless sheep into a pack of ferocious tigers. Protected by the heavy firepower supplied by the Elementalists on the city wall, the Angel Faction Champions abruptly jumped into the enemies’ attacking range.

One after another AoE spell that could disrupt vision began to fall onto the Demon Faction players. The number of battle notifications of their defense stat diminishing was increasing exponentially.

“Damn!”

“...”

The few Tier 5 Champions at the fore from the Demon Faction were unable to withstand the combined attacks by more than ten rival players and exclaimed helplessly. They were instantly killed by the concentrated AoE spell.

Slayer’s Heart, meanwhile, sneaked in under the cover of these AoE spells. He had turned into a flash of blood red radiance and rushed speedily toward the retreating Death Jesus.

Two months ago, the disgrace of being defeated by Death Jesus on the Mythical Battlefield was still fresh in his mind.

“Argh! Where do you think you’re going?!” With a loud growl, Slayer’s Heart summoned Ironpot out. He charged at full force to once again catch up to Death Jesus.

Death Jesus snorted coldly. “You think you can stop me? Dream on!”

Despite being interrupted by Violet Orchid’s spell, Death Jesus still managed to lift himself off the War Behemoth’s back on time thanks to his instincts and superb reflexes.

“Purify!”

Violet Orchid who sat on the Mutated Violet Fox back dashed out from the city wall to the broad back of the War Behemoth. She yelled in Death Jesus’s direction who had just flown up from there and a seemingly “melting” light pillar fell directly on Death Jesus’s body in response.

The moment Death Jesus touched the pillar, his dual defenses collapsed instantly.

At the same time, Black Rock who had blasted upward more than thirty meters high finally released his Earth-elemental Tier 5 AoE spell. “Gravity Dimension!”

Death Jesus, who had received a shocking notification just a moment ago, could clearly feel the horrifying aura that was quickly closing in from above.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the Demonic Wings at Death Jesus’s back was bluntly broken and folded back into his body.
