Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 100: Finally Advancing (2)
At first glance, the "Blood Mist" has the same effect of confusing the opponent as the "Blinding Fog", but it is more flexible and practical than the "Blinding Fog". Not only can it freely control the range of the blood mist, but the blood bat I transformed into can also move freely in the blood mist without being disturbed. Of course, facing the Phantom Knight possessed by the Light Angel, under the effect of the "Body Protection Holy Light", the blood mist spewed by my strength cannot last for long, but the "Blood Mist" is different from the "Blood Evil" of the blood bat. It only consumes mental power and can be used uninterruptedly, one small group after another, always circling around the Phantom Knight, making him unable to get rid of it wherever he flies. My real body is hidden in the blood mist that has not yet dissipated. In a panic, even with the power of the Phantom Knight, it is difficult to find where I launched such a weird attack method, which restrained his actions and made him unable to effectively intercept Long Xingtianxia and their attacks on the angel statue.
The time for the general attack has come. Except for a few players who are blocking the enemy's counterattack, most of the players are engaged in the attack on the angel statue. This is our last chance. Once the Phantom Knight gets rid of the blood mist, coupled with the continuous arrival of enemy reinforcements, it is likely that we will no longer be able to resist the enemy's counterattack. Xiaobai sent out the "Banshee Howl" with all his strength to concentrate on interfering with the actions of the level 7 NPCs near the angel statue. Had cooperated with Wu Ma to deal with those priests of light. Once Wu Ma got close to them, they would be too easy to be dealt with. By the way, they dealt with the seriously injured knights of light and tried their best to earn seniority points for me - killing them would have extra rewards. My seniority points are almost full, and such an opportunity is really not to be missed. Although participating in the attack on the twelve-winged golden angel statue can earn a lot of merit points, the fight over there is too fierce. It is the most dangerous area in the entire hall. From time to time, players or NPCs will fall down. Wu Ma is delicate and cannot be sacrificed. There is no need to get involved in such a dangerous occasion. It is safer to look for opportunities to plot secretly in the periphery.
Under our desperate attacks, the strongest Phantom Knight was unable to effectively block the attack due to the interference of the blood mist. The twelve-winged golden angel statue, the core and symbol of the church, was finally completely destroyed. With a deafening explosion, the dim angel statue was blown to pieces and turned into a ball of gold powder. Then the church shook violently, and pieces of building materials began to peel off from the roof and walls. In just a few minutes, the magnificent Oriental Cathedral collapsed and became history, leaving only a large ruin at the scene.
The goal has been achieved. We have successfully completed the task of "pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth" and eradicated the power base of the Church of Light in Beijing. However, the more than 30 survivors of ours have no way to retreat. The NPCs led by the Phantom Knight did not evacuate or stop fighting with the demise of the Eastern Cathedral. Instead, they intensified their attacks. We were too concentrated on the angel statue before, and there was no barrier between the main hall and the side hall. We were immediately surrounded by the enemy with superior numbers. No matter what others think, even if someone is arranged to support, seeing the NPCs' faces full of humiliation and murderous looks like they are ready to fight to the death, I am afraid that Xiaobai, Wuma and Had will encounter unexpected events in such a chaotic situation. They are in a state of combat and there is no way to send them back to the "Dead Soul Space" immediately. Now is not the time to show off. They showed their true colors early in the morning and directly provoked the Phantom Knight, giving him the opportunity to kill them, forcing Xiaobai and the others to leave the battlefield with me, their master.
Although the strength of the Angel of Light was somewhat beyond our expectations, we had anticipated this possibility and had formulated countermeasures. After careful planning and arrangement, the "pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth" operations of the three continents were ultimately successful. The Desert Eagle of the Southern Continent, like us, adopted a strong attack method, relying on its overall strength and several powerful auxiliary props to entangle the Phantom Knight and the Angel of Light, and concentrated its strength to destroy the twelve-winged golden angel statue in the church. As for the Light Dance Flying of the Northern Continent, because of its weaker overall strength, it relied more on strategy and mobilized more manpower to make a feint attack, causing the enemy to make a wrong judgment and mobilize manpower for rescue. Taking advantage of the empty manpower of the target church, it launched a fierce attack with its main force, and also used powerful props to contain the Phantom Knight and the Angel of Light, taking the opportunity to destroy the angel statue.
In terms of the strength of the enemy and us, our action this time can be said to be quite risky. We used all our elites and methods, but we still couldn't do anything to the Angel of Light. With the help of reasonable tactical arrangements, we barely destroyed the angel statue. Now that we have consumed almost all of our powerful props, we lack the means to contain the Angel of Light. We are unable to expand our victory in a short period of time. Moreover, the most urgent task is to pay attention to the possible retaliatory actions of the Church of Light, and at the same time, we must prevent them from obtaining the "holy disk" and the twelve-winged golden angel statue from the Temple of Light in the Holy City and the gods of light, and secretly transporting them back to Beijing and other three cities to rebuild the destroyed churches. We paid such a high price to remove the three "venomous teeth" and have the opportunity to establish an open "base" for the "Resistance Alliance". We can't let the Church of Light take it back easily. Once we find any unusual movements, we must do our best to intercept them and never let them succeed.
Not only did I smash the "holy disk", I also entangled the phantom knight at a critical moment, accumulating a lot of merit points, which I believe will be of great help in unlocking the artifact "Dead Scepter", and I killed the boss-level silver-robed bishop who was able to summon the light angel. In addition, I picked up a lot of bargains in the melee, killing a total of five level 7 NPCs and more than a dozen level 6 NPCs. Back in the "Dead Space", I worked hard for two days, and launched a "Dead War" in the middle, killing thousands of corpse wizards. I finally earned enough qualifications and could be promoted to the seventh-level professional Undead Mage.
I left the base and rode Taotao in the air a few meters above the ground, preparing to go through the "Gate of Space and Time" to the "Castle of the Dead" in the western continent to advance. Not long after flying, I suddenly noticed a flash of light behind a bush not far to the left front. In an instant, a huge golden cross suddenly appeared in the air, and then a golden beam of light shot straight at me...
