Volume 3: The Land of Mist Chapter 64: One, Two, Three...
As the sounds of many "disasters" echoed, the entire battlefield once again fell into a deathly silence.
A disaster that the Moon Realm Legion present is confident that they can defeat through their numerical advantage.
What about nearly a hundred?
Who has the real numerical advantage?
More importantly, why are there nearly a hundred Moon Realm disasters appearing here?
Is this some kind of sleight of hand? Some kind of illusion? Or some other trick to bluff...
But all the Moon Realm monsters present earlier witnessed with their own eyes that the demon general "Massacre", who was famous for his strength, made a full-strength attack, but was easily blocked by the "Disaster" in black armor that suddenly appeared - this was definitely not something that could be achieved by a bluffing illusion.
For a moment, including the "massacre" that had charged forward earlier, no Moon Realm monster dared to act rashly.
In this dead silence, William, who was in the center of the crowd, maintained the same confident smile on his face - at the same time, he silently felt the information coming from the Holy Spirit Disc on his back.
Ninety-one, ninety-two, ninety-three... It's almost the limit...
Feeling the signs of mental fatigue, William immediately stopped teleporting his prepared mirror clone to the battlefield.
Although summoning itself reduces one's burden by dividing it into batches, if one has to perform operations simultaneously - even if it is just giving simple commands such as "go there", "attack at will", "dodge", and performing simple micro-manipulations with real-time feedback of battlefield information, it is enough to push one's spirit to the limit.
William had previously returned to the Treasure Hall to prepare more than two hundred mirror clones equipped with equipment, but in the end, he could only roughly control these ninety-three. In fact, if he really wanted to achieve perfect control, it would probably be the most appropriate choice to keep the number within twenty.
Uh… Although using words like “only” or “nothing more” doesn’t seem quite right, after all, ninety-three mirror clones are already shocking enough. If it weren’t for his sky-high willpower and intelligence, any ordinary magic caster would control so many clones at the same time, and his brain would probably be overloaded into boiling steam in just one or two minutes.
"Come on, keep going."
William first glanced at the "Massacre" who was on guard not far from him, then looked up at the Moon Realm monsters that were lingering in the distance, and shouted provocatively.
"Continue your previous attack! Didn't you just brazenly say that you wanted me to die here?"
"Eclipse, what on earth is going on?"
Ignoring the provocation of the disaster, the swollen lady raised her fan to cover the lower half of her face in front of the legion's formation and asked in a low voice.
"Is the other party playing some kind of trick?"
The only demon general present who had come into contact with the current disasters was Shijie, who silently observed the disasters that suddenly emerged.
Its eyes were fixed on the silver pendants on the chest of each disaster.
It still remembers that thing.
On April Fool's Day, it was holding a weapon specially made for assassinating Disaster, but was suppressed and suffocated by a little girl who was wearing the same silver pendant and was only at the apprentice level.
After being exiled back to the "Lake of Entropy" in the Moon Realm, Eclipse learned from Lady Hungry that it was the power of the Disaster itself that manifested itself on the girl through the pendant. This saved it from the shame of being defeated by an apprentice-level human.
“Those strange pendants…”
Thinking of this, Shi Jin said:
"The other party used the pendant to reproduce his own power in those clones."
"What's the meaning?"
The demon general "Bloodthirsty", whose arms were entangled with rusty iron thorns and blood kept flowing down his arms, asked in a voice like nails scratching on a table.
"What it means is that Disaster is just bluffing."
Eclipse said quickly.
"He used some special methods to project his power onto those clones, creating the illusion of dozens or even hundreds of himself existing at the same time. In fact, we still only need to face Disaster. No... not only that, because he has to maintain such a large number of clones, Disaster's combat power may even be weaker than usual. And he just provoked us just to scare us off!"
Shi Jin spoke louder and louder, and in the end he was almost shouting.
This is not only to expose the seemingly powerful illusion of the disaster in front of it, but also to use it to boost the morale of the legion behind it.
Although there is no such thing as the "empty city plan" in this world, there are indeed stories in history of using fraud to scare off enemies who are much stronger than themselves. The most legendary one is Demuge, the most arrogant fraudster in history. He ordered people to light 10,000 firewoods to make the Lord of Dark Tide mistakenly believe that dawn has arrived, thus forcing her back to her own dark realm and losing the bet. In the end, she was forced to create a weapon called "The Hour of Dawn", and the eternally burning two-handed sword was later obtained by the Moon Realm Disaster and renamed "Judgment Ten".
The same is true of today's disasters, which intend to drive them back with false deception.
However, despite Eclipse's speech, faced with so many disasters appearing before their eyes, no one from the Moon Realm Legion behind him dared to step forward directly.
Perhaps the scene before me was too shocking.
But they didn't know that even more shocking things were yet to come.
William chuckled at this, and then said:
"Well, since you are unwilling to attack first, I will not be polite on my side."
You're welcome? How can he be so rude?
Several demon generals present thought to themselves.
You have to know that the magic power required to maintain more than 90 clones is an astronomical figure. Even if the opponent is in the Moon Realm at this moment, it is much easier to guide magic power from the astral realm than in the real world. However, due to the limitations of human mental power, there should not be much magic power that can be used at this moment.
After all, no human etheric domain can withstand the magic flow of so many spells at the same time.
But out of caution, they did not dare to act rashly.
"Well, first of all, a..."
William held up a finger.
Not far from him, an incarnation wearing a fiery red robe, holding a charred black magic medium in his hand and wearing a twisted flame mask on his face took a step forward.
An exaggeratedly large red magic circle began to be constructed beneath his feet, and the magic medium in his hand was instantly covered with fiery cracks.
Feeling the extremely intense fire magic power starting to burn from there, all the demon generals present, including Eclipse, and other high-level Moon Realm monsters showed extremely terrified expressions on their faces.
Especially the Moon Realm monsters under the command of Ms. Hungry and Corrupted, because the core principle of the spell they are casting is obtained by analyzing Ms. 's own domain.
The pinnacle fire spell, [Everything is reduced to ashes and dust].
As the magic medium in the hand of the disaster disintegrated bit by bit, a sickly-colored sun appeared in the sky.
But it didn't fall yet.
"Then, two..."
William said as he extended his second finger.
A clone beside him, wearing a silver-gray robe and holding nothing in his hands, waved his hands and took out a sapphire ring from the space crack - the [Blue Shining Ring] that can greatly enhance lightning resistance. He put it on first, and then continued to take out a spell medium composed of pure lightning from the space crack.
[The initial sky fragment] is said to be the original lightning that fell when the Holy Spirit "Father" swung his scepter, shattered the sky and created the world. As long as you hold this artifact, your body will irreversibly change towards the direction of breaking, because creation itself is a process of breaking - and this is reflected in the game by holding this weapon, you will always be in a paralyzed state where you cannot move, and holding it for too long will permanently deduct the player's upper limit of health.
This weapon is also the spell medium with the highest power of lightning spells in the entire game, and it is completely different from the graduation artifacts of other spells . Basically, this weapon is a must-have equipment for speedrunners to quickly kill bosses.
At the same time, a spell of the same scale as the previous [Everything Remains Only Ashes and Dust] began to unfold under the feet of William's clone. A corner of the sky was shattered by countless roaring thunders. For a moment, the light emitted by the thunder and lightning even covered up the light of the sick sun.
The pinnacle spell of lightning, [This is the thunder that shatters the sky].
This is the second pinnacle spell that has been chanted.
"Then, three..."
Ignoring the cracking sound of something behind him, William stretched out his third finger.
Then he looked at the spell medium [Withering Cold] in his hand, with an apologetic expression on his face.
"Ah, I should be the one to release this."
As he spoke, he knocked the magic medium in his hand to the ground, and everyone around him, to be more precise, all his friends were stained with a layer of faint white.
And that was all - compared to the two previous powerful spells, the visual effect of the spell released by William was very simple.
The pinnacle frost spell [Anti-Entropy].
"Everyone charge forward, don't give him the chance to continue chanting spells!"
Seeing that Disaster was about to extend its fourth finger, Eclipse immediately transformed into a black mist composed of corrupt residue and rushed forward.
Being able to release three... and even planning to release a fourth pinnacle spell in one breath, the opponent was definitely not bluffing. If they continued to stand by and watch with a fluke mentality, all of them would die here.
Since the opponent is a magic caster, the strategy they should choose is to rush forward and drag the opponent into hand-to-hand combat, not giving him the opportunity to continue chanting large spells.
"Close the distance, this is our only chance to kill him!"
At the same time, several other demon generals also shouted in unison. Together with the mighty Moon Realm Army, they charged towards that... no, those Moon Realm disasters.
At the same time, the shattered sky and the sick sun fell down...
