Chapter 797: A God-slaying Strike (II)
As a result, after discussing with the Eternal Heroes, Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo decided to not take part in the decision-making. They would only fight.
As a result, despite the eighteen Eternal Heroes here, the one truly in charge was still Long Haochen.
“In order to minimise our losses, in order to succeed in a single attack, we need all of our powerhouses of the ninth step to launch attacks first. We have to deal a heavy blow to the enemies, kill the demon god and throw them into disorder. Afterwards, we will mobilise our enemy and engage in a full scale attack. We have to kill as much of the main force of demons as possible and make them suffer heavy losses.”
Before absolute strength, the method of battle was not complicated. Everyone nodded. The Bright Glimmer of Hope’s trust in Long Haochen was evident, so nothing would go wrong with his command.
Lin Xin had already began rubbing his hands. He was the only mage in the squad, so he would obviously hold the biggest advantage in a mission of massacre.
“Little Long, why don’t you leave the demon god to me to handle? Of course, the Demon God Pillar will still be for you to deal with. I don’t have the ability to destroy the Demon God Pillar,” said Shu Yongxiao.
Long Haochen nodded, “I would have to trouble you then, senior.”
A gleam of light flashed through Shu Yongxiao’s blood-red eyes, “Kid, are you still unwilling to call me sister Shu?”
Long Haochen smiled awkwardly, “I can’t just ignore courtesy, senior.”
Shu Yongxiao snorted and said to Cai’er, “Look at your man. He’s a traditional little boy. Let’s go. Let’s go first. Watch how your sister Shu deals with that demon god later on. When we assassins enter the battlefield, we always behead our opponents.”
Long Haochen said to Zhang Fangfang, “Brother Zhang, I’ll leave you here to command in my place. Wait for my signal. Once the Demon God Pillar is destroyed, you can mobilise your side.”
Zhang Fangfang said, “You don’t have to worry.”
Long Haochen raised his head to look at the sky. It was dark. Although the wind was not strong that night, it was still extremely cold. It was very dark, as the moon had been completely obscured by the clouds.
“Let’s go,” Long Haochen said seriously. He lead the Bright Glimmer of Hope and the Eternal Heroes together, approaching the demon base in the distance. They were so close, so there was obviously no need to hide the army, because the flames of war would be lit among the demons very soon.
Over twenty figures covered five kilometers in just around twenty seconds. The eager Lin Xin was the first to launch an attack.
The Eternal Dragon’s Fire appeared in his hand with dazzling light and the sky immediately gained a smear of red. Even the coldness seemed to fade away before the red colour.
The redness quickly turned to blue. As Lin Xin changed, his Sacred Sun Curse was immediately released and the Domain of the Sacred Sun was unleashed as well.
There were finally patrolling guards who noticed the disturbances around the base. Such an obvious phenomenon had happened to the sky. Immediately, a sound of warning pierced through the cold night.
A blue sun had appeared in the dark sky, as a dense, fiery aura descended from the sky. The entire demon base lit up with a dense colour of blue under the dazzling sunlight, rippling about with the dancing blue flames.
However, the blue sun did not bring them warmth, but destruction.
In the next moment, balls of blue fire began to descend from the sky, directly towards the camps of the demons below.
Lin Xin chanted extremely quickly and the Sacred Sun Curse shone bright and brighter. Terrifying heat radiated from the sky. Super Bursting Fireballs descended from the sky, gradually gathering into a Heart of Fire version of Rain of Flaming Meteors. It enveloped a wide range of the camps below.
The base that held two hundred thousand soldiers was extremely large, spanning over five kilometers away. In order to repel the cold, these camps were all gathered together, which only made Lin Xin’s Rain of Flaming Meteors even more effective.
Parts of the base caught on fire as the demons howled out miserably. Lin Xin’s attack targeted the centre of the base. All he needed was a slight breeze and all the camps in the surroundings would catch on fire as well. Moreover, the fireballs that struck the ground would all explode immediately.
Lin Xin was obviously not the only person taking part in this operation. Everyone else threw themselves into battle immediately.
There were three warriors among the Eternal Heroes, which remained there. They were tasked with protecting the mages. Apart from Lin Xin, there were two other mages among the Eternal Heroes. One was of the wind element, while the other was of the water element.
The two mages demonstrated their great abilities soon as they began their attacks. They fought by supporting Lin Xin. With their support, the lethality of Lin Xin’s magic increased by at least three times.
The two mages did not take action immediately. Only when Lin Xin’s Rain of Flaming Meteors had completely unfolded, lighting large areas of the camps on first, did they erupt with their own magic.
The wind mage only used a very simple spell, Whirlwind.
The spell was not particularly dangerous. It could only create a relatively powerful whirlwind within a certain range. It was a wind spell of the third step. However, the wind mage had chosen Lin Xin has his successor. Despite the differences in their elements, he still chose Lin Xin.
Whirlwinds landed among the demon camp. Lin Xin was originally rather confused by it, but when the might of the wind was unleashed, he was surprised and became filled with admiration towards this wind element Eternal Hero.
The whirlwinds seemed like they were alive, landing across the base evenly. Every single whirlwind would basically only land after a Flaming Meteor had exploded.
The explosive power of the meters was shocking, exploding loudly with light. The whirlwinds just happened to land in the centre of the explosions.
Swathes of blue sparks were sucked up and delivered into the distance, but not extinguished. His mastery of the usage of spiritual energy could be described as having reached the limit.
The flames from the Heart of Fire were so hot that even if a tiny spark landed on a camp, it would immediately set the whole thing on first. With the help of these whirlwinds, the danger of Rain of Flaming Meteors increased significantly, multiplying its destructiveness by several times.
The water mage was even more skilled. He purposefully unleashed his spells where the fire burnt the brightest. However, he also used low level spell, Water Pillar.
This was only a spell of the second step and its lethality was not even as great as Whirlwind. Usually, it could only knock enemies around, to prevent them from getting close. That was as simple as it was.
Currently, the Water Pillars seemed to act against Lin Xin. They purposefully targeted where the flames were burning the strongest.
However, something shocking happened. When the Water Pillars landed in the flames, they did not directly expand. They did not even smash into the flames. Instead, they paused above the flames, before slowly dispersing.
As a result, not only did the Water Pillars avoid weakening the flames, they instead became its most terrifying fuel. With their support, the flames below grew at least twice as bright. Looking from above, it was quite the sight.
The wind mage hovered beside Lin Xin and said, “Magic is unbelievably profound. The higher the step doesn’t necessarily make it stronger. Only the most suitable magic is the most powerful.”
Even a single sentence to the clever would be enough. There was no need for him to go into too much detail, but Lin Xin had naturally developed an understanding.
Aside from the three mages and the three warriors that protected them, the others had already entered the battlefield.
All of the assassins had vanished. Long Haochen sat in the sky with his holy unicorn, Star King, below him. Translucent, white light rushed into the sky as soon as the battle had begun, illuminating the entire night sky. The huge Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared in the air boldly. The terrifying pressure of a supra divine tool immediately descended, suppressing the demon armies below.
Would the pressure be lethal? Of course.
When Long Haochen had first gained the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the progenitor divine hall’s initial appearance had managed to shake up the demon army from several dozen kilometers away, which was why the demons had set up base fifty kilometers away from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and not the regular fifteen to twenty-five kilometers.
However, this time, the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had directly appeared in the sky above the demon base. Obviously, the pressure would be much more powerful.
Long Haochen’s mental force had already merged with the pressure, making it erupt as hard as he could. Basically the entire demon army was influenced to different degrees. The ones most evidently affected were the demons within five hundred meters of its range. All the demons below the sixth step were immobilised on the ground, while demons around the fourth step with weaker bodies even suffered huge casualties.
Obviously, it did not matter if they were just immobilised. However, there was also fire raining down from the sky!
The rings of dazzling light radiated outwards from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Even from the distant Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, the powerhouses of the Knight Hall could see it clearly.
As the commander, Long Haochen did not completely devote himself to the battle, because he needed to control the situation and not lead a blind attack.
As he powered the pressure from the divine hall, his gaze also locked onto the very centre of the demon base. It was also when he looked over that a dark pillar suddenly began to shine with dazzling light.
