Chapter 172 Lin Tian Makes a Move
Arjun Mishra followed not far behind him, his expression remaining calm and composed.
He did not participate in the direct killings, but instead clasped his hands together and chanted ancient scriptures in a low voice.
A ring of pale golden Buddhist light spread out from him. Any spirit enveloped by the light would become sluggish, and the necromantic energy within it would be slowly purified and weakened.
"Raji. Watch your left, elite units are approaching." He calmly reminded his bloodthirsty comrade.
"I know! Stop nagging!"
Without turning his head, Raji cleaved a Plague Spreader that was trying to ambush him on the left in two with a single axe stroke. Filthy green liquid splattered all over him, but he didn't care at all; instead, he became even more excited.
......
The first wave of attacks from the Scourge was like a touchstone, testing the mettle of every major city and every player.
Fear, courage, chaos, order, rage, calm...
The brilliance and darkness of humanity are laid bare before the tide of the dead.
And this catastrophe that has swept across the continent has only just begun.
Even more powerful undead await their chance to appear deep within the shadows of death.
After standing atop the city wall and looking down for a moment, Lin Tian lost his patience.
His gaze passed over the fierce tug-of-war ahead and landed deep within the seemingly endless tide of the dead.
There, the necromantic energy was so dense it was almost tangible, and one could vaguely see larger, more dangerous figures writhing and directing.
The space around him rippled slightly as [Blink] was activated!
Swish!
His figure vanished from the city wall in an instant, appearing like a ghost a thousand meters away, above the tide of the undead!
Beneath their feet lay a dense, howling sea of undead, the intense aura of death almost tangible, enough to make an ordinary player lose their mind.
Lin Tian merely frowned slightly, taking a moment to adjust to the uncomfortable environment.
"Well then... let's begin."
He hovered in the air, like a god descending to earth, looking down at the undead calamity below.
The robes moved without wind.
[Shadow Clone]!
Another "Lin Tian" appeared beside him, also holding his staff high.
The next moment, the prelude to destruction was played by one (or two) people!
[Starstorm]! x2
Boom! Boom!
Two massive astral rifts were violently torn open above the most densely populated area of the Sea of the Dead!
The raging fragments of stars and destructive energy poured down like a celestial river, instantly turning the area below, with a diameter of over thirty meters, into a no-man's land!
The massive damage numbers, fluctuating every second, poured out like a waterfall, turning low-level skeletons and zombies within the area into ashes in droves, like snowflakes thrown into a furnace!
【Universal Celestial Pull】! Maximum Cost! x2
Two superimposed, terrifying gravitational vortexes formed in another area, like two invisible giant hands, forcibly pulling and squeezing thousands of undead together. The sound of bones shattering rang out densely like popping beans, before being completely crushed by gravity!
Arcane Explosion! x2
Both the main body and the clone simultaneously unleash a surge of violent arcane energy centered on themselves!
The sudden burst of air blasted away all the nearby undead and plunged them into the "Arcane Disorder" state, causing them to spin around aimlessly like headless flies, and even begin to attack their own kind.
Lin Tian was like a tireless source of destruction, traversing freely behind the Sea of the Dead. Wherever he passed, it was as if an invisible eraser had wiped away the debris, leaving large blank areas behind!
He specifically targeted areas where the dead were most concentrated or where elite leaders were in command, and his efficiency was outrageous.
[Spatial Imprint] Locked onto a level 30 elite [Bone Summoner] who was roaring behind and constantly summoning small skeletons. The next moment, Lin Tian's main body directly [Pursued] and teleported to its face!
[Law Imprisonment] instantly locked him down, followed by [Star Ray] for a precise kill!
The entire process took less than three seconds, and this elite monster, which could have caused great trouble for the front line, collapsed in frustration.
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 25 'Enhancement Points'!]
[Dominator Power +50]
The pleasant notification sounds kept ringing out, and the experience bar and resource reserves were increasing at a visible rate.
......
Meanwhile, at the forefront of the defenses of Luoxia City.
"Hold on! Backline firepower! Healer!!"
A heavily armored warrior roared, his shield riddled with cracks, his health fluctuating wildly like a rollercoaster as the priests desperately tried to heal him.
He had just painstakingly cleaved a skeletal warrior in two when three more rotting zombies pounced on him, their sharp bone claws scraping against his heavy plate armor with a grating sound.
"Damn it! This is never going to end!"
He spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and felt a wave of despair.
My teammates have changed several times, and the white light of death flashes intermittently.
The number of undead doesn't seem to be decreasing at all, and the pressure is mounting.
"President! The third squad is about to collapse! Requesting backup!"
"The left flank has been breached! Quickly plug the gap!"
"My mana is almost depleted! Potion cooldown!"
Zhang Tianya's heart sank to the bottom as he listened to the constant calls for help in the guild channel.
He wielded his giant axe, cleaving apart a vengeful spirit that tried to cross the barricade, leaving himself breathless with exhaustion.
At this rate of attrition, it's only a matter of time before the defenses are completely breached.
The situation on Li Weiwei's side was equally dire; the mage group's mana reserves were rapidly dwindling, and the archers' arrows were being consumed at an alarming rate.
Although they killed a large number of undead, it was nothing compared to the seemingly endless sea of undead.
"This can't go on..." A hint of worry flashed in Li Weiwei's beautiful eyes. She had already begun to consider a plan to retreat to the second line of defense.
However, just as the defense line was crumbling and everyone felt hopeless and numb, some observant players suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Hey? Don't you guys feel... like the pressure has lessened a bit?"
An assassin player who had just respawned and returned skillfully cut down a lone skeleton soldier, then looked ahead with some confusion.
"It seems so... the skeletons rushing towards us aren't as densely packed anymore?" His companion noticed as well.
At first, the change was only felt in a few specific areas, but soon it became noticeable.
"Holy crap! Look over there!" a marksman standing on high ground suddenly exclaimed, pointing behind the horde of undead.
"What's that? Why are there flashing lights behind us? And what about that huge explosion?!"
Following his gaze, everyone saw different colored lights flashing alternately in the depths of the Sea of the Dead at the edge of their vision—sometimes a brilliant blue light of star destruction, sometimes a purple vortex of arcane eruption, and sometimes a bizarre scene of large numbers of undead being pulled and crushed by an invisible force!
