Chapter 427: Reunion, Checkmate

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The intention of the Demon Faction was clear when Savior set the holding formation on top of the northern wall. They would preserve their newly conquered position until the system notified that they had successfully breached Moonrise City after the one-hour mark.

Although their objective was made known to the enemy, it was not that simple to dissolve the Demon Faction’s resilient guarding.

The Demon Faction had deployed more than fifty Tier 5 Champions and about ten thousand Tier 4 Elite to claim the northern wall.

Although both factions on the other three directions of the city did not go all out on each other, the three great leagues of Angel Faction had already spared thirty-five Tier 5 Champions to halt the progression of the Demon Faction on the northern gate. Hence, it was no longer possible for them to supply more reinforcements to the northern side since they had to be careful not to expose other weak points to the enemy as well. Or else, Moonrise City would be doomed and all hope would be lost.

Right now, Majestic Hero and the other Supreme Champions could only place their hope upon Violet Orchid, Slayer’s Heart, and other Tier 5 Champions over there to reclaim the northern wall.

Besides that, they were also placing their bet on Apocalypse and Daisywave who had just emerged from the crossfire zone to stop Savior from advancing further into the city through the northern gate.

***

One black and two white figures emerged at the top of the northern wall.

The former was Savior from Demon Faction while the two white figures were Apocalypse and Daisywave, who had narrowly failed to ambush their enemy.

The latter two were a little ashamed of themselves. They were currently hovering side by side and observed each of Savior’s move who was opposite to them vigilantly. Despite the two versus one fight, both of them did not dare to let their guard down.

‘He is indeed a Tier 5 Supreme Champion...’

‘No wonder he is known as the strongest man in Demon Faction. He definitely lives up to that name!’

Just a moment ago, Apocalypse had launched a Tier 5 AoE spell alongside Daisywave’s rapid penetrating attack. Somehow Savior, who had lost his perception ability, managed to escape the dangerous assault. He also almost took Daisywave’s life.

‘What a scary player!’

“Your Barrier is going to crack soon, let’s retreat first.” Seeing that Savior was not making any moves, Daisywave voice messaged Apocalypse secretly and suggested him to retreat from the danger zone first.

Apocalypse shook his head quietly and replied, “No. If we leave now, those comrades below us will not stand a chance.” He peeked the crowd below him and continued to say, “Let’s stall him a little longer. Black Rock is coming over with help. Even if we have to use our lives for this... At least it’s something worth dying for!”

To be frank, Apocalypse clearly understood the power difference between Savior and the two of them. Even if they challenged Savior together, the odds of them winning the battle was close to zero. However, under such circumstances, he cannot allow the Demon Faction players from further spreading their influence. They would need to spend more effort and lives to reclaim the lost ground if the Demon Faction was not stopped, right here and now!

***

As Apocalypse and Daisywave waited in desperation, Savior switched off his voice channel and skillfully condensed a Shadow Barrier and Soul Shield around him. He raised his eyebrow and took a glance on the man and the lady spreading out their Angelic Wings opposite to him. A faint sneer with sinister intent appeared on Savior’s lips.

‘You two overconfident imps... What else do you two get after losing the element of surprise? Why linger on?’

“That’s good though, saves me the trouble...”

“I was almost killed by the two of you... Now it’s my turn!” Savior murmured to himself after he made the necessary arrangement through the voice channel. Without further hesitation, a pure light ball emanating a bright radiance arose on his palm.

Round, ordinary, with no powerful magical trace like that of a Tier 5 spell on it whatsoever. The man and lady opposite him were a little relaxed. As long as the spell was not some high damage magic, they would be fine. After all, their ultimate aim was to buy time, not to win the fight.

Savior had apparently seen through their naïve thinking. He grinned coldly and ignored Apocalypse and Daisywave’s solemn expression in casting their respective defensive skills. He directed the Legendary ring on his finger over and the light ball immediately shot to the top of the three of them.

“!!!”

The next second, beams from the light ball shone like a mini sun and immediately lit up the entire city wall of the north!

All players within a hundred-meter radius of Savior’s spell were indiscriminately affected—their eyes blinded by the strong light.

‘What spell is this?’

Daisywave drew a sharp breath and she subconsciously activated her Angelic Wings to retreat backward. She did not feel any harmful damage coming from the spell despite its very prominent glare. She was not entirely worried since Apocalypse beside her possessed Elemental Perception.

But as she was slightly reassured by that thought, Apocalypse’s panicked voice suddenly rang in her ears. “Run Daisy!! I can’t sense him... Urgh!”

Right after Apocalypse relayed the dying warning to her, a horrendous shriek broke through the night sky. Soon after, Daisywave received the notification that her teammate had just been killed.

Panicking, Daisy flapped her wings harder to hasten her retreat.

“Hmph, you think you can get away?” Savior sneer rang in Daisy’s ears who could not see a thing.

***

Savior’s action was direct, simple, rhythmic, and too fast to be true.

When his body fused with the strong glare, Savior immediately activated Elemental Camouflage and turned himself into the Light Element to avoid being detected by Apocalypse. He finished off Apocalypse in one go.

After he took care of Apocalypse, Savior then activated Blink to instantly reach Daisywave’s side.

Although a Light Swordmaster has a better resistance against Light-type Spells, Savior’s Magic Attack stat was definitely among the few highest in H&G. In the face of absolute power, such little resistance was negligible...

Despite Daisywave’s successful block of Savior’s killing move with her Tier 5 Radiant Shell, the barrier was destroyed instantly by the attack.

Under the circumstance where she could not target the enemy, Daisywave had lost any chance of fighting back. She gave up and waited hopelessly for Savior’s second round of attack to take her life.

It turned out that what she felt was not Savior’s deadly blow but a frightening coldness.

The Angelic Wings behind her was disrupted and instantly shrank behind her.

***

“Bastard!”

The stream of chilling aura flowed in from afar directly forced the Demonic Wings back into Savior’s body. This had not only disrupted the Solarmancer’s balance forcing him to give up his attack on Daisywave, but it had also put him in an extremely perilous situation.

Savior had to be innovative to save himself with the sudden disappearance of his Demonic Wings.

But before that, he reflexively took out a Magic Scroll and yelled, “Sword of Kesri: Judgment!”

Tier 5 Light-Type AoE offensive spell...

Regardless of how the opponent managed to sneak into his zone without being noticed, Savior was certain that that person must still be within the attacking range of his Tier 5 AoE Spell.

“Since you are crazy, let’s be insane together! Go down with me!” As the Magic Scroll was unrolled, majestic Light-elemental magical power burst out from within.

However, a fearsome idea suddenly crossed Savior’s mind. He suddenly regretted his reckless decision on using the Magic Scroll...

‘Tier 5 AoE Spell Frozen Realm... The Aquamancer who released this spell must be the Winter Demon Qin Ruo! It must be him! Who else could fly in without alerting me apart from this annoying pest?’

‘Darn it! He just exchanged blows with Death Jesus and disappeared mysteriously afterward. How did he enter this region in such a short time? How is this even possible?’

Savior was flustered for the first time. Since the Winter Demon could survive the clash with Death Jesus, his spell might not be able to harm Qin Ruo after all.

“This is bad!”

***

Watched by a million eyes, Qin Ruo’s stealth was exposed by Sword of Kesri’s effect. He was forced out from the Aquamorph status and blasted high into the air by the shockwave.

In the next second...

Whoosh!

The holy Angelic Wings spread out behind Qin Ruo.

The timing was just right.

After the Aquamorph was neutralized by the Tier 5 Spell, the Angelic Wings was instantly activated after Qin Ruo was thrown back for about a hundred meters. The occurrence of the wings stabilized the tumbling Aquamancer’s body.

“Frostbarrier!”

The Barrier was activated in less than two seconds.

Qin Ruo dove toward the city wall fearlessly. His target was no other than the fast falling Savior.

At the same time, a gentle shout was heard from the top of the city wall, “Elemental Wave!”

***

Savior was considered unlucky. He was unaware that Qin Ruo had already informed Violet Orchid, Slayer’s Heart, and other Tier 5 Champions before he intruded to save Daisywave. Those on the city wall had come over in advance to aid in Qin Ruo’s rescue mission.

Coincidentally, they reached exactly at the moment Savior was brought down. Violet Orchid tacitly cast her Tier 5 ultimate as soon as they were in position. Her target was not Savior, but the other Demon Faction players still exchanging spells with their Angel Faction counterparts.

Being warned beforehand by Violet Orchid, almost everyone from their side had closed their eyes a few seconds before the glare appeared and continued to fight based on their senses.

While for the Demon Faction players, it was disastrous.

Their output was instantaneously interrupted after the bright flash.

“F*ck! I can’t see!”

“What kind of spell is this?!”

Aside from the interrupted Elemental Perception, those Demon Faction players could not even open their eye after being “pierced” by the golden radiance. They had completely lost track of their direction, crying out in despair.

Their scream served as a signal for the Angel Faction players to open their eyes simultaneously.

Taking the opportunity that bombardment from the Demon Faction had ceased, more than ten players propelled forward quickly. One after another AoE spells were poured out relentlessly, which resulted in some massive casualties on the enemy troop.

***

Though he was not the primary target, Savior was also blinded by Elemental Wave. The moment his perception was interrupted, notifications about the misfortune that fell upon his comrades were delivered to him non-stop. Savior’s heart sank non-stop.

Then, he promptly felt a few figures with extreme killing intents approaching him rapidly.

***

Black Rock blended within the player crowd abruptly activated his Angelic Wings and together with Slayer’s Heart, they leaped out side by side to meet the falling Savior.

Besides the two of them, Subjugator and Judge who had just reached the scene also dashed toward Savior like a bolt of lightning. Besides that, Dinosaucerer’s Explosive Spiders had also gathered and swirled right below the falling Solarmancer.

***

Above Savior, Qin Ruo continued his pursuit on him and dove like a freezing comet.

Schhwaff!

A bolt of golden lightning split the night sky apart!
