With the activation of the Sky Fusion Tower the entire sky turned black as if Night had arrived.
Seeing this confused everybody. There still should be around four more hours until night time, what's going on?
With the arrival of the night sky came a blanket of vibrant stars. Each star was of a different color and the onlookers could feel an immense power from each one.
Without giving any a chance to admire the beautiful scenery the stars started to combine creating large chunks of stars. After the fusion was done the next thing to happen frightened everyone on the battlefield.
Tornadoes of fire, earth, darkness, light and more appeared on the battlefield destroying the land and ravaging the Mythology army. Each tornado easily had upper rank tier 5 power and killed anyone they scratched. Only the tier 4 players lasted a little longer.
Lost Soul was stunned for a second but regained his calm. A few tornadoes weren't enough to stop them, he could easily send some of the demonic beasts to tank them. As he was about to give the order a meteor shower bombarded the army.
Each meteor had varying degrees of tier 5 power and caused heavy damage to even the legendary creatures.
Next thing, a giant lightning storm occurred above them. Yellow lightning repeatedly strikes the ground wiping out groups of players and monsters with ease.
The crazy weather phenomenon had halted what was believed to be an invincible army. The defenders couldn't believe their eyes.
Shi Feng was astonished at the power of the tower as well. The Sky Fusion Tower has three skills. In exchange for 5 units of seven luminaries crystals it will activate the skill Sky Paradise.
Sky Paradise will alter the weather creating storms that will attack the enemy and the storms only affect the enemy. The move was perfect for large scale combat.
Unfortunately Shi Feng had spent more seven luminaries crystals then he presumed so he wanted to be conservative with them and not activate the tower's other skills.
With that in mind Shi Feng brought out four summon guards scrolls. After a blinding light out came four NPCs. Each one wearing dazzling equipment and releasing a suffocating aura.
This was Anna, Kite, Versailles, and Laura.
Shi Feng pointed to the army and told his guards, "you see that army over there, they're trying to bully us. Go wipe them out!"
"Yes our lord!"
All four them without hesitation jumped into the scene of armageddon and started a massacre.
Kite easily weave through and slaughter the players. Each swing of his sword took the lives of at least a dozen people.
Versailles was even worse. His world creation made Mythology members feel helpless. They died as if they were ants for a child to play with. Each spell he did cleared an area of players and monsters.
Anna was easily causing the most damage. Her summons fought head on with the mythic monsters. Her tier 5 yin yang guardian fought the Mountain Tiger to a stand still. Leaving Anna a chance to go and slaughter more players and monsters.
Laura didn't do as much damage because she is an oracle and focused on healing. But she was crucial as well, she alone managed to keep Kite, Versallies, Anna, and her summons alive. As if she was an one man army of healers her allies HP never went below 90%
"How are they so powerful?!"
"No dark gold guards can do something like this. Are they epic guards?!"
The people from Netherworld Empire and Violet Sword were flabbergasted. Zero Wing was known for the powerful NPCs they had but this was just ridiculous. Normally sending a NPC into such battles meant sending them to their deaths.
But it felt like Kite and the rest were taking a stroll through the park.
Shi Feng was a little shocked at their performance. He had his guards train in the extraordinary tower for sometime. All of them had reached the ascension realm, Anna and Laura had reached the true ascension realm and were on the third floor like him.
He never expected the realms of truth to increase NPCS power by such a degree.
Lost Soul couldn't keep watching this one sided slaughter and sent the tier 5 demons into the battle.
Hearing his orders the tier 5 demons gave Lost Soul a dissatisfied look. They were great demon kings, nobles in the Underworld, now some puny human is giving them orders. They still went to fulfill his wishes.
Atlock had told them to listen to the human until they had killed Shi Feng and brought him to the Underworld. Not one of them can disobey Atlock.
Seeing the tier 5 demons about to join the battle Shi Feng only gave them a sneer. He brought out the Bible of darkness
When he did every demon felt their soul shuttered as their attributes were decreased.
Shi Feng opened the book and focused on a specific name as he activated the demon summon skill. As he did a giant gate made of bones and green fire appeared above him. This was easily the biggest demon gate shi feng had ever seen, it even surpassed the one Thunder Emperor Kaiser had created.
When the gate opened out came a giant 4 horned demon with two pairs of flaming wings and two blood red eyes. In his hands was white greatsword with black flames flowing along its edges.
[Erlick] level??? (superior great demon king)
?????????/????????
"That human possesses the bible of darkness!" One demon yelled out
"How did a tiny human get his hands on such a thing?"
The tier 5 demons were shocked. Even Atlock was stunned knowing shi feng actually possessed the bible of darkness. Now his plans for revenge on him will become even more difficult to achieve.
Who dares to summon the all powerful Erlick! The demon yelled out. Clearly he wasn't under the full control of shi feng.
After experimenting, shi feng discovered that the current bible of darkness will allow him to fully control the weaker tier 5 demons. Against demons with powerful bloodlines and rank higher on the tier 5 scale, the bible only allows him to summon them. He will have to convince them to help him or take away their will.
Against Erlick who is a superior great demon king and only a step away from being a demon god, the current bible of darkness had no chance of granting him full control.
Shi Feng suspected that he will have full control over all tier 5 demons when he upgrades the bible of darkness to legendary. And if the book is really a divine artifact or godly relic, it should grant him full control over all tier 6 demons when it reaches those ranks.
Erlick's terrifying aura made Aqua Rose and the rest freeze. The amount of divine might they sensed from him was ridiculous.
Shi Feng activated Gale Domain, flew up to the demon and said, "Great Demon Erlick, I have summoned you. You probably guessed that I have the Bible of Darkness. I won't use it to take your will away as long as you help me with a little issue."
Erlick looked at Shi Feng then like an erupting volcano the black fire on his sword engulfed him. Space itself was burned by the flames and visible cracks could be seen in the air.
"Human! So what if you have the Bible of Darkness, as long as it's incomplete you can't do a thing to me!"
Shi Feng gave the enraged demon a smile. He opened the book as he said, "you want to test if that's true or not?" Shi Feng wasn't worried that the Bible of Darkness couldn't control Erlick. As long as it was not a tier 6 demon the book controls all demonic creatures.
But he still didn't want to take away his will as that will decrease his combat power.
As Erlick looked at Shi Feng's carefree smile, the violent flames calmed down. He already knew he couldn't resist the Bible of Darkness and had been bluffing. How could he allow a human to take control of him.
"Him what is it that you want me to do?" Erlick said
Shi Feng directed him towards the other demon kings and said, "Kill them for me."
Erlick looked over and was a little surprised, "human, you actually had the balls to offend Atlock! Hahahaha you are interesting. Atlock holds a lot of power in the Underworld and angering him can be annoying. So what's in it for me?"
Shi Feng figured that Erlick would ask for some compensation. Demons normally reside in the Underworld or endless abyss. Unlike the chaotic endless abyss where it's every man for themselves, the Underworld has a clear structure and strict hierarchy amongst the demons. A superior great demon king and demon god like Erlick and Atlock would probably be the equivalent of dukes and have their own territories that they manage.
Shi Feng then brought out the eternal darkness ingot he had made when making preparations for the city. He showed it to Erlick, "don't you want to become a demon god. Do what I ask and this is yours." He said as he waved the ingot in front of Erlick
The demon stared at Shi Feng as if he were a treasure, "human you sure know how to tempt my fragile heart. Are you sure you are not a demon yourself? We have a deal." Erlick didn't really want to fight with Atlock because he had a higher position than him in the Underworld but now Shi Feng gave him a chance to become a demon god, how can he refuse?
Erlick made his way towards the other tier 5 demons. As if he were a ghost he disappeared and reappeared in front of them in an instant. Erlick then raised his great sword high and slammed it down.
Platinum combat technique- Lightning Sovereignty
Over 50 images of his sword appeared as they faded in and out of existence, each sword transforming into a lightning arc filled with unrivaled power. The enemy demons wanted to defend them selves but the attack was just to fast. As if they were in the center of a storm the lightning arcs devoured the great demon kings and slammed them to the floor.
Each demon lost over 20% or 40% with a critical hit. The strength of each side was clear for all to see.
Seeing this Atlock became enraged, his phantom yelled out, "Erlick how dare you listen to some human! Where's your pride as a Duke of the Underworld!"
Erlick only laughed at the projection, "Atlock, this is a chance for me to become a god, what's the harm in listening to a human. When I ascend I'll treat you to some of my immortal blood wine to celebrate! Hahahahaha!"
Erlick then stopped his swords at the fallen demons.
Mana Technique- Sinful Incineration
The black fire on the edges of his sword was accompanied by bright blue flames. The blue fire then extended, creating a beam of fire and leaving scorch marks on the opposing demon kings as the flames kept them grounded.
Shi Feng flew back down to the city walls. He wasn't surprised to see Erlick suppress 4 tier 5 demons. Erlick is a superior great demon king; a being only an inch away from being a god. Those four are just regular tier 5 demons, they don't even have that pure of a bloodline, the outcome was obvious.
He was surprised to learn that Erlick and Atlock knew each other. Even though the two spoke in the demon language, the Bible of Darkness automatically translated for him.
As Shi Feng watched the army of players get slaughtered by the Sky Fusion Tower and his personal guards, while Erlick toy with the demons he had a bright idea.
This is the perfect chance to upgrade the tyrant title! His tyrant title had been stuck at the basic rank for almost a year now and required 100,000 immortal souls to upgrade.
Shi Feng was not heartless, and he wouldn't destroy the souls of players who didn't really do anything wrong. While Infinite Sky was annoying they never attacked Zero Wing in the real world. Wars between guilds was natural and apart of the fun of God's Domain, that's why he hadn't use the soul fire on Vendor Wind and the others, there was no point to.
On the other hand, Mythology is a completely different story. They had constantly harassed his guild both in the game and real world. Any sense of empathy he had towards the guild was long gone.
He had even tasked Phoenix Rain with eradicating them, this will just speed up the process.
Shi Feng quickly unsheathed Crown Sword and activated the soul fire. He swung the blade and out came a Slash of blue and white energy that was engulfed in silver flames.
Imperial Slash
The slash of energy left a black line in its wake as every player hit by it died immediately. Their tortured souls screamed out as it was burned by a silver fire.
Easily over a hundred players empowered by the Hell Fire contract suffered a torturous death.
Shi Feng then raised the Abyssal Blade high, the contrast between the jet black blade and serene silver flames made the weapon look ghostly and a product forged from Hell.
The sword then released streak after streak of electricity forming a massive blue river of lightning and silver fire.
Lightning Edge
Lightning Edge is a tier 4 sure kill skill and devoured the lives of nearly 800 players. As these players died their souls left their bodies screaming and flew into Shi Feng or more exactly the Ancient God Literature fragment that he activated.
The requirement for upgrading the tyrant title was to absorb 100,000 immortal souls. The method of how that was done was not specified.
He had also absorbed plenty of souls when he wiped out War Blood so he should be close.
When Lightning Edge's duration finished Shi Feng jumped from the city walls into the scorched battlefield. When he reached the army he then started a slaughter.
Void Slash
Shadow Blade
Purgatory Pentalash
Lightning Flash
Sword Orbit
Shi Feng unleashed all his skills and techniques taking the lives and souls of thousands of players. Like a God of Death every time Shi Feng swung his sword a life would end.
Being accompanied by raging tornadoes, massive lightning storms, raining fire, a giant demon causing devastation and four personal guards creating even more destruction, to the onlookers Shi Feng looked like an incarnation of the God of War.
His valiant figure left people speechless. The Sword King had never looked so heroic.
Up on the city walls, everyone from Zero Wing to Violet Sword were silent as their mouths hung wide open.
They had thought this was the end. Who can possibly go against such a demonic army.
Who had the strength to defy so many high tiered demons.
Who had the ability resist this level of power.
What they thought to be impossible was broken by Shi Feng. Zero Wing members especially had pride rise in their heart.
It was their guild leader that defied the Heavens! Their guild leader that made such a terrifying army look like sheep for the slaughter.
Their bloods started to boil, they heard their hearts beat violently in their ears, as they tightened their fist almost to the point their skin would break! Until!
"Aaahhhhhh! Leave some for me, guild leader!"
It was Shadow Sword. The man couldn't take it no more as he unsheathed his greatsword and jumped off the city walls to join his guild leader in slaughter.
The other members of Zero Wing followed his lead.
"Let's show them Zero Wing's might!"
"Death to all those who defy our guild!"
"Follow the Guild Leader!"
Like a raging tide Zero Wing members jumped off the walls like mad men. Even Aqua and Phoenix Rain; two people who always kept their calm and elegance, lost their composure and did the same as everyone else.
In this moment all that matter was filling the urge of their boiling blood through a massacre.
The Netherworld Empire and Violet Sword members only watched as Zero Wing executed a bloodbath. Hell Rush suddenly grapped his sword and shield, he turned to the Hell legion and Netherworld Empire behind and yelled.
"Come on you punks, are we going to let Zero Wing have all the glory!"
"Hell No!"
"Then let's create a river of blood and show them Netherworld Empire's power!"
Hell Rush, Carbon Cat and the rest of Netherworld Empire soon joined the fight. The Violet Sword representatives couldn't keep their bloodlust contained as well. The two joined the battle.
In the midst of all this Lost Soul couldn't believe it. He had created the most powerful army in the entire game. No one should have been able to defy him, but now all that was ruined because of one person.
He turned to the giant projection of Atlock, "Lord Atlock, we need your help at this rate; we will never capture the man who stole from you!" He pleaded.
Atlock sucked his teeth, "worthless humans!" What's the point of granting people power if he ends up having to do everything himself. As a Godly being his physical body couldn't enter the main continent but for some reason the power keeping all Godly beings away from the mortal world is weakening.
Now his phantom can exert more of his power than it did before. As he stepped forward Atlock raised the sword in his hand and started to gather mana.
Shi Feng who saw this recalled the mana technique Atlock used last time. The technique was almost as powerful as Holy Devour and if he lets him use it here it could cause devastating consequences.
"No you don't!" Shi Feng sacrificed 7000 magic crystals to the Ring of Gospel activating its skills, he then took out the ancient weather book.
[Ancient Weather Book] (Fragmented legendary Rank Item)
The Ancient Weather Book allows its wielder to control the weather of an area. However, due to damage during the war between Gods, it can only exert a fraction of its original power.
Additional Active Skill 1-
Weather Control: Changes the weather in a 5,000-yard radius for two hours.
Cooldown: 10 hours
Additional Active Skill 2-
Reshape Nature: Concentrates the Mana within a 500-yard radius, increasing the Mana density within a 40-yard radius by 250%. Can be used even if the Ancient Weather Book is stored in a bag space. No Cooldown.
The Ancient Book has sustained significant damage. Second restoration will require 100,000 Mana stones. (Current absorbed number: 10,721)
Shi Feng then activated its second skill and placed the book back in his bag space. Thanks to the Ring of Brilliance and Reshape Nature, the mana around him was extremely dense.
Shi Feng then tightened his grip on the Abyssal Blade as a dark fog encompassed him and extended to almost the size of a soccer stadium.
Ember who had been asleep for a while knew her dad was doing and wanted to join in on the fun. She then came out of her familiar dimension and entered the black fog. A blinding golden light could be seen clearly in the never ending darkness. The surrounding mana being raised to a frightening degree.
Even Atlock was astounded by the mana he was sensing. It started to interfere with his mana technique.
As he looked into the fog two giant black claws that were engulfed in raging flames shot out the fog.
Mana Technique- Holy Devour
The two claws then slammed the off guard projection of Atlock to the ground. When Atlock recovered from his gaze he saw a being that even the demon god emperor fears.
[Black Dragon King] level 143 (Mythic)
???????/??????
It was the Black Dragon King! A legit Dragon King!
Shi Feng was surprised that his life rating actually reached the dragon king standard. He never expected Ember to have an ability to raise the ambient mana to such a degree. With her help he actually barely achieved the dragon king level.
Not worrying about that Shi Feng tightened his claws and he lifted the dazed Atlock above his head. Shi Feng then opened his mouth as terrifying amounts of mana gathered in his maw.
Dragon Breath
A black fire was shot into the sky eviscerating everything. Like fireworks the black flames exploded into the air taking the Atlock projection with it.
As a onesided. bloodbath occurred on the ground, black flames filled up the sky.
