Chapter 3851 - Chapter 925 - Plot 095
Dark purple flames suddenly burst from the void, forming a gigantic sword 10,000 yards long that struck at Angelâs Retributionâs members.
When the sword of flames appeared, all players within a 10,000-yard radius of Phoenix Rain felt their souls tremble with fear. This scene even caught the attention of the various powersâ experts all over Everlasting City.
âIs thatâŚa large-scale Destruction Spell?â
âHow can a large-scale Destruction Spell have such a huge range?â
Everyone partic.i.p.ating in Everlasting Cityâs compet.i.tion had seen large-scale Destruction Spells before, but never had they seen one with a range of 10,000 yards. Moreover, even at first glance, it was obvious the power of the dark purple flames exceeded the Tier 6 Limit standard.
The sword of flames fell on Angelâs Retributionâs members before they could react, effortlessly burning through them and the land they stood on. When the flames dissipated, a bottomless rift appeared on the island that Everlasting City stood on.
âTheyâre all gone?â
The spectating experts were dumbfounded when they failed to see any Angelâs Retribution members in the aftermath.
âCommander! What rank of Spell is that?!â Drifting Bean goggled at the scene below in disbelief.
As the Blood Wing adventurer team operated in the Angel Sanctuary, it had plenty of intelligence on Angelâs Retribution, the Angel Sanctuaryâs number one power. It also had information on Blacksteel, Angelâs Retributionâs main force commander. The stalwart man was single-handedly responsible for eliminating many of the Angel Sanctuaryâs powers, and even Endless Scars wouldnât dare to say she could defeat him with 100% certainty.
Yet, Blacksteel had just been one-shotted by a SpellâŚ
âThis Spell should have already exceeded the Tier 6 Limit standard,â Endless Scars stated, gaping in shock behind her veil as she stared at the missing section of the island.
As the owner of the Origin Mage cla.s.s, a Peak Hidden Cla.s.s, Endless Scars knew that not even large-scale Destruction Spells that reached the Tier 6 Limit standard could injure Blacksteel. This was because he was one of the few experts in the Greater G.o.dâs Domain to have developed his Concentration to the Tier 6 Limit standard, which allowed him to exhibit 100% of the potential of Divine Artifacts. In a situation where he was fully equipped with Divine Artifacts, his opponents would have to be able to exhibit 100% of a Divine Artifactâs strength to threaten him.
On the other side, Dragonâs Crownâs members were similarly shocked by Phoenix Rainâs attack.
âThis Spell is probably comparable to the attack Guild Leader Black Flame used before,â Kowloon Demon said, staring at the bottomless rift ahead in astonishment. âI hadnât expected Zero Wing to have another monster like Guild Leader Black Flame.â
Purgatory Jade hadnât expected Zero Wing to have such a trump card, either, and couldnât help casting a long look at s.h.i.+ Feng.
However, compared to everyone else, the ones most surprised by Phoenix Rainâs attacks would have to be Zero Wingâs executives.
âGuild Leader, what Spell did you let Rain learn? Isnât it a little too powerful?â Hidden Soul asked s.h.i.+ Feng quietly.
Hidden Soul knew Phoenix Rainâs strength better than anyone else. Normally, Phoenix Rain would be fortunate if she could defeat even one of the 100 experts who had charged them, let alone wipe out Angelâs Retributionâs 2,000 experts in one move.
If Hidden Soul had to guess who could have helped Phoenix Rain increase her firepower by so much in such a short time, it would have to be s.h.i.+ Feng. After all, s.h.i.+ Feng had previously called Phoenix Rain and Gentle Snow aside. He must have given them something during that private discussion.
âItâs a secret for now,â s.h.i.+ Feng said, chuckling. âYou can also learn something like it if the opportunity arises.â
The existence of the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells was a secret that Zero Wing could not afford to expose at present. It wasnât that he did not trust Hidden Soul and the others. It was just that Zero Wing still couldnât afford to ignore the threat of the human raceâs various apex powers and the alien racesâ powers. Thus, the fewer the people who knew about the Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells, the better.
Besides, obscuring the existence of the Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells could increase their effectiveness in critical moments. Unless Phoenix Rainâs opponents had the strength to counter these Spells, even sixth-floor experts would face certain death. Moreover, unlike the Profound Skills of weapons and equipment, the two Pseudo-Tier 7 Spells had short cooldowns of only three to five hours. In the current G.o.dâs Domain, they were weapons of absolute destruction.
âAm I hallucinating? Werenât they supposed to be Angelâs Retributionâs forces?â
When Shuoyun and Lunar Riverâs other private guards returned to the bottom of Everlasting City and saw that Angelâs Retributionâs members were no more, they all gaped in shock. They also didnât know how they should proceed in this situation.
They had already steeled themselves for heavy losses. After all, they would be going up against a legion organized by the Angel Sanctuaryâs number one power. The legion was even led by the famous Blacksteel.
Yet, before they saw any action, Blacksteel and the rest of Angelâs Retributionâs legion were annihilated without the slightest bit of resistanceâŚ
âIs this why Zero Wing refuses to partner with us?â Shuoyun had a complicated expression as she stared at s.h.i.+ Fengâs figure in the distance.
Not even Kingâs Paradise could annihilate Angelâs Retributionâs 2,000-man legion in one move. With such strength, Zero Wing was more than qualified to turn down Kingâs Paradiseâs partners.h.i.+p offer.
Besides the various apex and royal powers, the other powers in Everlasting City quickly exploded in an uproar after a moment of silence.
âZero Wing? How come this is the first time I have heard about this Guild? Could it be a hidden power?â
âWe have to be careful of Zero Wing moving forward.â
âSomeone keep an eye on Zero Wing! Once Zero Wingâs members make a move, I want to be informed immediately! We must not give Zero Wing any chances!â
There was no way the various powers present would not fear a Spell that could wipe out a 2,000-man legion in one move. They dared not take their chances with it, even if they knew such a Spell would have a long Cooldown and cast time.
Of course, the various powers didnât get too hung up over the Spell. They simply had a few members watch Zero Wingâs movements before they resumed battling one another. After all, even if Phoenix Rainâs Spell could be reused multiple times in this compet.i.tion, it would see limited uses, as the compet.i.tion had a 12-hour time limit. The effect one player could have on a compet.i.tion of such scale was also extremely limited. This was because each power had to occupy four plots of land to receive an Eternal World Magic Array. In other words, the outcome of the compet.i.tion still depended on the overall strength of the various powers.
Moreover, once a power was given sufficient time, it could construct barriers in their respective plots of land to enhance their forces. Since Zero Wing preferred to spectate rather than compete for an early advantage, the various powers naturally wouldnât mind letting it do so. They simply needed to be careful not to let Zero Wing s.n.a.t.c.h the fruit of their efforts.
âHow cautious of these powers. Theyâre not giving us any chances.â When s.h.i.+ Feng saw the numerous Observation Skills being used on his team, he knew it would only be a waste of time to continue waiting here. âIt seems weâll have to act in advance.â
Realistically speaking, trying to occupy four plots of land in Everlasting City with just a little over 600 players was absurd. With so few players, Zero Wing would not only have difficulty defending its land, but it would also have trouble collecting city tokens.
The compet.i.tionâs rules stated that the power holding the most tokens on a particular plot of land at the last second would become its occupant. In other words, so long as another power snuck more tokens into Zero Wingâs land at the last second, this team could s.n.a.t.c.h Zero Wingâs land from right under its nose.
Simply put, the compet.i.tion was about who could collect the most Everlasting City Tokens. Even if a power managed to occupy many plots of land with overwhelming force, its efforts would be futile if it couldnât collect enough tokens. Thus, the compet.i.tion was very disadvantageous to powers with few members like Zero Wing.
Now, Zero Wingâs only hope of succeeding was to compete in lands with the most players. However, timing was key. If Zero Wing acted too early or too late, it would cause an outflow of tokens to other plots of land, which, in turn, would reduce the number of tokens Zero Wing could collect. Before taking action, Zero Wing needed to collect enough intelligence and select lands with the most tokens. It also needed to ensure it could secure these tokens in one fell swoop.
âGuild Leader, according to our investigation, the three plots of land with the most players all have apex powers competing over them,â Hidden Soul said, frowning as she watched the fierce battles across Everlasting City. âPlot 034 has nearly 30,000 players, a human apex power, and a Crystallian royal power competing over it, Plot 068 has over 30,000 players and two Holy Race apex powers competing over it, and Plot 095 has nearly 40,000 players, a Crystallian apex power, and a Holy Race royal power competing over it.â
âLetâs go with Plot 095, then,â s.h.i.+ Feng said without hesitation.
