“What a massive attack.”
Several Demon Faction League Leaders were stunned as they faced the enormous army flooding over Sin City…
Berserker Lord looked at the waves of enemy forces on the ground and the flocking “Angels” from the skies trying to overwhelm the city entirely, and sighed, “This… couldn’t be Majestic Hero’s idea. This Winter Demon… Qin Ruo… he’s really a tough cookie. How arrogant! How prideful this man is!”
After gasping at Qin Ruo in awe, he looked at another champion who was fifty meters away—Majestic Hero. This “Elemental Annihilator”, leader of the Hall of Heroes, had a long reputation even amongst the most experienced Demon Faction veterans. If this man was working hand in hand with the Winter Demon, Berserker Lord could not just stand there and watch…
Everything happened too fast, and he was unsure of the purpose and objective of his foes advancing their troops in this aggressive manner—there were tens of thousands of Tier 5 players and two hundred Winged Champions in front of him. There were also four hundred Winged Champions raining down from the skies, something he was more threatened by compared to the troops Majestic Hero was leading on the ground.
As the west gate was becoming more overwhelmed by Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero’s army, Berserker Lord finally acted!
“Go!”
Hearing the loud command, numerous Demonic Wings spread out and flocked to the sky. In just two seconds, the Winged Champions from Berserker’s League had now joined the other Demon Faction’s Winged Champions, increasing their numbers to over four hundred…
Thanks to Berserker Lord, the Demon Faction players were able to regain their composure after the raging tempest from the enemy forces were balanced out by the newly added Winged Champions!
However…
Majestic Hero had now reached the gates, a mere forty meters away!
Wrooooom!!!
Brilliant forks of violet lightning struck down from the sky…!!!
Massive tides of Mana rumbled into powerful bolts of lightning and blinded the entire area, with Majestic Hero standing dead at its center! In an instant, the lightning struck over hundreds of diameters and razed all four hundred Demon Faction Winged Champions above Sin City.
Screams and howls of panic and horror could be heard all over the west side of the city…
“Shit!”
“Dark Gold, you fool!”
Berserker Lord barked as he realized he missed this one important aspect—Tier 5 AoE Magic Attacks were wings’ biggest weakness, and allowed Dark Gold Emperor to push them to a corner like this. He was so shaken that he hid behind a cover, even forgetting that the AoE Magic attack’s shockwave wouldn’t yield much damage. Even before they could clash and fight, Majestic Hero had now gained an upper-hand with a pre-emptive strike.
“Damn!”
***
After seeing the Demon Faction players’ morale plunge, Majestic Hero stopped immediately and hovered thirty meters away from the west gate… thereby allowing the two War Behemoths to run pass him and stop next to the walls!
Whoosh!
Qin Ruo glided down from the Behemoth he was riding and hovered next to Majestic Hero. Then, he raised his right arm again…
“Do it.”
Booom!!!!
The towering War Behemoths finally plunged their heads deep into the walls! The platforms on the walls and gates shook furiously as soon as the first strike landed! Then, their sharp powerful horns penetrated the walls carving out a huge hole.
Boom!!
Then, the Behemoths gigantic tails slapped the ground and formed a huge path into the city. Completing their attacks, they sat in place quietly with their powerful indestructible bodies. The two gigantic War Behemoths were now sitting on two sides of the city’s west walls, thirty meters from one another.
However… this wasn’t enough. Qin Ruo wanted something more.
Swoosh! Swoosh!! Swoosh!!
The huge flock of Angelic Wings above had now glided towards the walls accompanied by the massive army dashing along on the ground like a gigantic pair of scissors inching towards the city walls, as the Demon Faction players watched in horror
***
It was then that Berserker Lord, Dark Gold Emperor and the other League Leaders had the shock of their lives as they saw this mind-blowing moment…
It was not hundreds but at least a thousand “Angels” that were here!
These maniacs!
Could it be that the Angel Faction had deployed all their Winged Champions in this one spot?!
“God damn it!”
“Just what the hell were they thinking!!”
***
On the other hand, the thousand Winged Champions were not letting up. It was a golden opportunity to strike, considering there was nothing but chaos at the walls and the gates, with Demon Faction players stunned and overwhelmed by their opponent’s mighty army. After activating their barriers and shields, Spiral Drill, Berserker Shell, and Elemental Armor all spread out their wings and flapped towards Sin City at full speed.
Of course, the ones who had acted first were Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero! This insane siege was their idea after all, and they wanted to help lower the casualties of the Winged Champions of the Five Leagues even though there were already many Radiant Priests behind the frontlines.
After receiving buffs from the priests and priestesses, Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero dived into the enemies. Qin Ruo was quick and diligent. In a flash, two Frost Ramparts were forced in front of him and then a quick push… the Frost Ramparts and the enemies around them all burst into a million pieces of snowflakes…
Majestic Hero was not letting up too. After seeing the Frost Ramparts, he too had activated teleport magic together with Qin Ruo…
Liquid Form!
Blink Strike!
Due to the AoE magic attack that Majestic Hero inflicted on the Demon Faction players earlier, no one was able to lock on the both of them using their Elemental Perception. Thus, after they had vanished, the League Leaders immediately spread out in panic, trying to determine their physical locations with their eyes. However, the thousands of Winged Champions were attacking from all sides too, forcing them back to their original positions.
It was in this small window of time, that Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero were able to further crack open the Demon Faction players’ defenses!
***
Booom!!!
A surge of freezing air rose above the west side of Sin City!
A dozen Frost Ramparts formed on the walls, huffing out frost flakes and bone-chilling currents… in an instant, every player within the diameter of a hundred meters were engulfed in this chilling wind. Archers, Summoners, Radiant Priests… everyone was affected!
After gulping down his Darkfrost Potion, Qin Ruo’s Twelve Frost Ramparts were frighteningly powerful! Not many players could escape it without the use of defensive measures. Even some Tier 5 Berserkers and Swordmasters were badly wounded when they still had their buffs activated.
However, this freezing air was just the beginning. As they were still trying to hold off the freezing chills that the ramparts sent to their spines, the twelve Frost Ramparts suddenly exploded, bringing the players around them down with it…
Qin Ruo didn’t know just how many enemies could be defeated by this. Perhaps a dozen or a few hundred? After shutting down the battle report system, he could not really tell—knowing the details of every single enemy was too much to go through on a battlefield this huge anyway.
As Qin Ruo burst the Frost Ramparts, Majestic Hero had ascended to the sky and hovered above the Demon Faction players… the chaotic scene on the ground was the perfect cover for him to prepare his attack in the sky.
With a slight pinch, Majestic Hero’s hands swirled with powerful, cackling balls of lightning! And no one on the ground knew…
The Frost Ramparts had sent the Demon Faction players into a chaotic frenzy, as they tried to get a foothold of the ground. Even the Tier 5 Winged Champions were not faring any better having endured Qin Ruo’s attacks.
Having all their defenses broken through, Demon Faction’s morale had now reached its lowest point.
“Berserkers! Swordmasters! Get your swords and march forward!”
“Elementalists! Provide cover fire!”
After seeing that Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero had successfully broken through the enemies defenses, the Angel Faction Field Commanders ordered their Winged Champions to stop diving towards the enemies as the army on the ground still continued to march and stomp into the city.
Hundreds upon hundreds of Angel Faction Warriors and Elementalists flooded into Sin City. Some rose to the skies above the city providing cover for their brethren, while some headed towards the city gates. Some of them marched straight into the depths of the city…
In less than five minutes, a huge alarm had been sounded!
“Angel Faction players have landed on Sin City!”
“In one hour, if the Angel Faction players are not entirely rid of the city, the city’s defenses would be automatically considered as failed. Every Demon Faction player’s Honor Points will be wiped clean. The countdown starts.. now!”
