[Ding~ You have slaughtered a lord and obtained 5,000 points. The current number of kills: 10, ranked first.]
The elven longsword in Renee’s hand cut through the last mechanical puppet.
A familiar system notification rang in Richard’s ears.
Although the entire troop died, the three top-tier battle forces in his hands swept through the whole sky arena in an overbearing manner.
After he kept the dark valkyrie in the ancient god statue, none of the players he encountered next could withstand the power of the Twilight City.
The viewers in the live broadcasting room turned numb as they watched players get defeated one after another.
They thought the Qingqiu troop could not last much longer after their deaths.
But who would have thought that this was only the beginning?
He only had three heroes left. But he still beat everyone up until they couldn’t even resist.
Exceptional! It was enormously bizarre!
Richard continued to move west along the floating square after he knocked down a fortress player.
He had finally arrived at the central plaza where the boss was.
Its diameter was several times larger than an ordinary square.
The most striking spot was the four-winged angel statue that held a long sword in both hands.
The statue’s face was not kind and benevolent. It had four sharp fangs instead, and the veins on its face bulged. It was like countless earthworms wriggled on them.
Its ferocious face immediately gave people a strong sense of disharmony.
While Richard examined the statue, seven or eight floating squares arrived at the central square.
Some floating squares had only one player that came down, while some had two or three.
Each led their troops and occupied a direction of the square. No one moved rashly.
He looked around warily.
The two players who came down from the floating square next to Richard saw that only a few of his men remained, and eagerness filled their eyes.
They seemed to want to eat this fatty meat in his stomach.
However, when they considered how the surrounding players stared at them and seemed tigers watching their prey, they held back and did not move.
The audience was disappointed to see the two cowards in the live broadcasting room.
[I didn’t expect these two soldiers would hold back…]
[Hehe, when we make our move and they find out their target is Qingqiu, I wonder what expression they would have?]
Expectations rose…
After the other players called for them not to give points to Qingqiu, Richard’s live stream viewership dropped from a peak of six billion to around five hundred million.
It wasn’t as good as at its peak, but it was still grandly lively.
At first, the audience still looked forward to the other players to overpower and cheered for them.
However, after a few rounds of Richard’s wolf in sheep’s clothing, they saw the players flipped over and bewildered.
He liked this feeling again.
It’s always so comfortable to see other people in trouble.
On the forums, many posts began to speculate on the strength of hero Xina because of Richard’s terrifying battle record.
After multiple verifications and deductions, the players on the forum finally recognized a fact… Richard’s heroes were at least A-rank!
And this news caused a huge uproar.
It was a massive blow to many players with one or two C or D-rank heroes in their territories.
It was just like when he earned 3,000 yuan a month and suddenly found out that the fellow graduated at the same time with 300 million yuan a year.
He didn’t feel good.
There were three A-rank heroes. They would be four if to include the dead dragon hero!
How exaggerated was this?
Countless people were shocked and puzzled when they saw this news.
It was not like they had never encountered a high-level hero before, but the difficulty of the recovery mission for a B-rank hero was ridiculous.
Often, it would take more than a month to complete.
They wondered how Qingqiu could complete the mission of recapturing four A-rank heroes so quickly…
Envy, jealousy, and hatred feelings of most people were difficult to express.
‘Boom! Boom!’
Richard frowned at the angel statue. Loud noise jolted it awake.
He turned around and saw the floating square connected to the central square had collapsed entirely.
They fell into the clouds below.
All the players had lost their way out.
After the floating square collapsed…
‘Crack!’
A crisp sound of an explosion rang in everyone’s ears.
The hearts of the remaining 20 or more players in the square skipped a beat.
He suddenly looked towards the central area…
The outer shell of the ferocious-looking four-winged angel statue cracked and fell off.
An indescribable dark aura surged out.
The world seemed to have lost its color.
And for every inch of the statue’s outer shell that crumbled, the dark aura it emitted would increase by a notch.
It was as if a giant abyssal beast was out of its shell.
The terrifying pressure was soul-stirring.
No one dared to move for fear that the terrifying existence would choose them as a target.
When the statue’s hard shell completely faded away, a terrifying four-winged monster with black wings on its back and a ferocious face appeared in front of them.
It was three meters tall, and its dark eyes seemed could devour souls.
With just a glance, it gave people an inexpressible fear.
Its four long and narrow wings flapped gently, and its body floated in the air. It was like a demon was born.
All the players on the floating square felt a heavy pressure on their hearts.
Even breathing was difficult.
[Corrupted Angel]
[Boss Unit]
[Level 15]
[Potential B-rank]
[Description: No one was willing to face the blade of an evil angel with great power.]
The boss of the sky arena had appeared.
At this moment, all the players in the square felt uneasy… Scorching hot.
“Brothers, listen to me. This boss’s level is too high. None of us can deal with it alone!
“And the floating square already collapsed. No one can escape.
“We only have one enemy now, and that’s the boss in front of us!
“The only thing we need to do now is to team up and take down this boss!
“There’s no need for internal friction!”
At this moment, a steady voice resounded through the sky.
However, the central square was too big, so no one knew who spoke.
However, these words stabilized the situation somehow. At least, most players agreed with this insinuation.
“Anyway, we can still revive after we die. At most, we’ll just leave the arena. We won’t suffer any losses.”
“But if we can defeat this boss, then we’ll be making a profit!”
“Besides, there’s a live broadcast outside. Fighting the boss will be more attractive than us killing each other.”
“If more people can watch it, everyone could get points from the system…”
“And if we don’t do anything and let the boss kill us one by one, we’ll all be in trouble.”
“Brothers, let’s attack together!”
As the compelling voice fell, five players from the north had come together and began to command the troop to press forward.
When the other players saw, they had various thoughts in their minds and took action.
They had already accepted most of this explanation in their hearts.
Killing a player would only earn one 5000 points at most. If one could kill a boss, the rewards would not be small!
And fighting bosses was so interesting…
They immediately looked at the corrupted angel after the players activated their DNA.
All had the mentality of getting a big hit, and they commanded their troops to approach the central area and aim for the corrupted angels.
Richard saw this and stopped his attack.
It was the first time he had seen so many players work together. It was interesting.
He glanced at the time.
There were less than 20 minutes left before the system would do a headcount. It would promote everyone if the people were fewer than ten.
However, to defeat a level 15 boss in just over ten minutes…
‘Could these players do it?’
The moment this thought appeared in his mind, the scattered troop of players began to attack.
“Fire!”
With an angry roar, the battlefield instantly became hot.
There were elves, dwarves, humans, orcs, and demons. There were players from five different races.
Some had lost a portion of their troops, while others retained their strength.
When they gathered together, they looked like a black mass and did have some momentum.
“Kill!” The corrupted angel shouted after it entered the attack range.
All the long-range soldiers attacked at the same time.
Arrows, pellets, flying axes, throwing spears… All sorts of weapons flew across the sky.
Something seemed to awaken the corrupted angel after they hit it. And its dark eyes regained focus.
However, it was too late for it to dodge.
With more than a large group of long-range soldiers that attacked simultaneously, even a giant dragon would lose half its life.
The corrupted angel wore armor and appeared to be as thin as a cicada’s wings. It had blocked the concentrated attack.
Although there were many scars, they were only superficial wounds and did not cause any substantial impact. Its battle power was still the same.
However, these attacks had angered the corrupted angel that had just woken up.
The boss flapped its wings and disappeared.
The next moment, it appeared in the player troop closest to him.
The black longsword in its hand danced wildly.
The surrounding troops were like lambs. Several fell.
No one could block its edge.
This sudden scene instantly disturbed the hearts of the players. The players who did not have a unified command were at a loss.
Some immediately changed directions and attacked the player.
The other group hesitated. They didn’t know whether to advance or retreat.
The so ambitious players who aimed to take down the boss became a pile of loose sand.
Everyone was aware of the disadvantage, but unfortunately, the situation changed too quickly, and there was no time to choose a commander …
One could only rely on its strength to fight.
And the result was a one-sided slaughter.
In the live broadcasting room, the viewers were speechless when they saw the boss slaughter the players in a frenzy while the others were at a loss.
[I thought they were spectacular. It turns out they’re just a motley crew.]
[It’s too difficult to kill a powerful boss without a commander.]
[What about Qingqiu? Why aren’t you making a move?]
Inuendos continued…
The players in the central square did not know of Qingqiu’s existence, but they did.
At this moment, the guy who only had two or three subordinates and no one cared about him was the giant crocodile in this fish pond.
He looked at the chaotic situation.
Richard’s expression was a little strange. He’d wanted to see what the other players would do when they faced the boss.
However, he didn’t expect such a scene to happen. More than 20 players from more than three large teams of soldiers.
It shattered with a single touch in battle. There wasn’t even any decent resistance.
Of course, this was partly due to a disoriented command. But the root cause was the quality of the troop.
If they didn’t even have a solid force to block the enemy, what could the damage attackers at the back use?
He watched as the furious corrupted angels crushed the large swaths of the troop.
A sense of achievement rose in his heart. Only with comparison could he feel the gap.
At this moment, the collapsing situation exposed the gap in strength.
The distance between Twilight City and the ordinary players widened.
His efforts to strengthen Twilight City during this period were not in vain!
He turned his head to look at Xina. She had already recovered to her peak state. And Renee, who carried a body somewhat illusory.
“Go all out and kill that corrupted angel.”
“We only have ten minutes.”
“I’ve given you a chance, but you’re useless. I’ll let Twilight City take care of it.”
The voice fell.
The two top-notch combat forces beside him immediately surged with battle intent.
The players who were lucky enough to survive but were still in chaos suddenly saw the boss, who they thought was invincible, forcibly restrained.
The first to arrive was Renee, the ultimate existence at level 14.
The divine spell of Space Control gave it unparalleled flexibility.
After it crossed the void, it appeared directly in front of the corrupted angel. The angel slaughtered in all directions.
Its right hand grabbed Renee’s neck.
Perhaps, nothing was more embarrassing than this.
The corrupted angel’s eyes were red, and the anger in its heart could melt steel!
The long sword that could cut through the void swung up.
It could even cut down even the city walls!
However, Renee didn’t mind the other party’s attack.
It exerted force with its fingers.
“Explode!”
A cold snort resounded through the sky.
‘Bang!’
Endless black flames burst out, the corrupted Angel as the center.
It was like a massive wave a hundred thousand feet tall, violently swept in all directions.
It didn’t distinguish between friend and foe.
It also devoured the surrounding troops.
The moment the black flames surged over, the soldiers felt as if the enemy threw their souls into a furnace that melted steel.
It covered its head with its hands and fell to the ground. Its body twitched uncontrollably.
Then, in extreme pain, it stopped breathing.
Divine spell, Soul Flame.
The burning corrupted angel’s body trembled, and the pain from its soul almost drove it mad.
Its already twisted face became even more ferocious.
“Ah!!!”
It roared.
The longsword moved even faster and ruthlessly cut into Renee’s body.
But unexpectedly, the corrupted angel’s attack directly passed through the other party’s body.
Although it left behind an exaggerated scar, it caused scant damage.
The divine body reduces 70% of physical and magic damage received.
The corrupted angel’s attack had not stopped.
“Slash!”
A bright sword light tore through the sky.
At this moment, Renee’s figure suddenly disappeared.
The corrupted angel’s heart skipped a beat. It could smell the scent of death.
‘Threat!’
“Ah!!!”
It used all of its strength and turned sideways.
‘Puchi!’
In the nick of time, it had avoided its vital parts.
However, the terrifying sword’s radiance still managed to slice through its waist.
It directly penetrated the sturdy armor, and an exaggerated scar appeared on the abdomen.
Blood splattered everywhere like a broken faucet.
Furious slash of the heavens.
After the terrifying killing move.
The elven sword reappeared in Renee’s hand after its disappearance. The sharp sword tore through the sky and slashed at the corrupted angel in the most violent manner.
This level 15 boss almost could not block the series of consecutive attacks.
With an unwilling roar, its figure instantly appeared in the middle of another player’s troop a hundred meters away.
The player had not yet recovered from the sudden change in the situation and felt its scalp numb.
[F*ck! What grudge do you convey to come here?]
But it didn’t have time to react.
An illusory elf appeared in its line of sight.
In Renee’s eyes, the space movement of the corrupted angel was like child’s play.
Its palm grabbed the opponent’s neck again.
Under that extremely humiliated and angry gaze…
A dark light burst out from its body and engulfed a radius of a hundred meters, it as the center.
The soldiers within the range of the dark light suddenly felt like someone threw their souls into a meat grinder, and endless pain came.
In an instant, it destroyed the souls of all the soldiers enveloped by the dark light.
Without exception.
[Divine Spell, Soul Attack.]
[Releases a powerful wave of soul energy, destroying the souls of all enemies within a 100-meter radius. Every cast costs five divine power.]
‘Roar!’
The corrupted angel hysterically roared when it fought the divine spell again.
The pain from its soul was on the verge of collapse.
The battle sword in its hand was like the counterattack of a dying beast, and it began to attack crazily.
At the same time, gray energy gushed out of its body and swept violently in all directions.
The ground exploded under the pressure of the energy.
However, no matter how violent the power was, it would be weakened by more than half when it hit Renee.
To this ultimate battle force that could resurrect and trade injuries for injuries was like a joke.
When the aftermath of the soul attack dissipated …
Reyne withstood the frenzy attacks of the corrupted angel. Its right hand clenched into a fist, raised it high, and then waved it at the angel’s forehead.
At that moment.
It formed a dark arrow in its hand.
At that moment, an inexpressible fear rose in the heart of the corrupted angel.
The death stared at it.
But it… It could not avoid it!
‘Puchi!’
The arrow pierced through his head.
No blood flowed out, but the other party’s life force at this moment.
At the same time.
A figure leaped up from the ground.
It streaked across the sky like lightning.
The cross-shaped longsword in its hand slashed down.
‘Puchi!’
A colossal head rose high.
The fresh blood bloomed into the most resplendent flower of death.
The corrupted angel suddenly stopped its flapping wings, and under everyone’s gaze, it fell from the sky.
‘Bang!’
The head that flew high followed closely behind and smashed into the ground with a dull sound.
The scene fell into a deathly silence.
The players still alive looked at the illusory elf that floated in the air and Xina landed on the ground and stood with her sword.
Their hearts felt like they had been hit by a magnitude 18 earthquake.
Dumbfounded.
No words could describe their shock at this moment.
A level 15 boss was a terrifying existence that could kill them like dogs.
Under their watchful eyes, one or two heroes killed it… Yes, there were only two people on the other side!
That was! Level 15 boss, a boss! It was not some random nobody!
And they quickly nailed it, so cleanly, so shocking!
Without any delay!
Several dazed players suddenly realized something after they regained their senses.
From the moment the two heroes made their move to the end of the battle, it took less than a minute…
With that in mind, all the remaining players turned to look at Richard.
The face covered by the sand seemed to be filled with endless mystery.
That pair of deep eyes made them hold their breath.
A question that was so strong that they couldn’t wait to know immediately appeared in their mind.
‘Who was he? Why did he have such powerful subordinates? Why?’
In the broadcast room.
The moment it chopped the corrupted angel’s head.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on the bullet screen, and the screen went blank for a long time.
