Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 225: All-out Fight
For the Light Priest profession, which has the strongest auxiliary combat capability in Tianxia, the auxiliary "Great Prophecy" can definitely play a role in combat that is superior to the offensive "Doomsday Judgment". Having personally experienced it, I have deeply felt the tremendous power of the "Great Prophecy". Whether it is with my pets, summoned angels or other companions, it means a great disaster for their enemies, and it is easy to be in danger and cause death. Poor Shaman, who is known for his agility, was killed by the enemy in bat form, and could not find a chance to escape. This is probably the most shameful battle in its history. Even the intermediate Destruction Knight was unable to resist without a horse and was almost killed. It seems that Pirlo should have studied the "Great Prophecy" carefully, which is his most proficient skill. Otherwise, he is a "blank" and has no attribute bonus effects of any equipment props. He has such power when he casually performs it. How can other professional players fight against those level 10 cardinals? Fortunately, the "Great Prophecy" should also have a limitation on the casting distance, and can only be cast when approaching a certain range. Otherwise, it would act directly on me. No matter if I "repent and turn back" or "heavy the boat", I am afraid it would be difficult for me to escape the pursuit of the holy angel.
Since the beginning of the battle, Pirlo has been taking the initiative, suppressing me and not finding any effective counterattack opportunities, which made me very worried. I didn't expect that he was even more impatient, and seemed not satisfied with the stalemate with me. After only a few moments of fighting, he couldn't hold back and couldn't wait to join the attack, attacking vigorously, intending to defeat me as soon as possible. It seems that "Scavenger" should be a kind of iron-blooded and ruthless NPC. He only cares about the result and uses any means. He showed his powerful knife and went all out to kill me, an opponent who is obviously like a chicken. He doesn't know the principle of hiding his shortcomings and preserving his strength.
Unless I am willing to give up this most difficult promotion task and accept the outcome of failure, I must not let Pirlo continue to show off his power. I will use the "Great Prophecy" a few more times, and wait until the two white-bone dragons are killed. Even if Wu Ma can survive by chance, it alone, facing the stronger pet white tiger, will not be able to do anything, and the situation will become worse. The opportunity is fleeting, and I can't afford to hesitate too much. In order to win more promotion rewards, maintain my own strength advantage, and gain more benefits. I will never give up. Now I must use the pseudo-artifact to go all out. I hope that with the help of the pseudo-artifact, I can turn the situation around and kill Pirlo in one fell swoop.
I have two pseudo-artifacts that can be used in a fierce battle against a strong enemy like Pirlo. One is the "Yellow Spring Gate" and the other is the "Spirit Sealing Plate". After several months of hard work, the "Yellow Spring Gate" was originally cultivated to a very high level by me when I was besieging Almati. It can allow the upper-level undead subordinates of level nine to pass through. For the sake of caution, in order to more fully cope with the most difficult task of upgrading to the ninth-level profession, I spent some of the remaining merits from the battle of besieging Almati, plus the new merits earned from frequent trips to the Western Continent in the next ten days, and upgraded the "Yellow Spring Gate" to a level that can be passed by the lower-level undead subordinates of level ten. Anyway, it is better to be prepared. Even if it is not used in this promotion task, as I successfully promoted to the ninth-level profession, the level of the "Yellow Spring Gate" still needs to be further improved. As for the "Soul Sealing Plate", thanks to Elmaidi, I was lucky enough to successfully seal the tenth-level upper-level Eight Extreme Yin Demon Black Mountain Old Demon. If I release it, I won't suffer any loss whether I face the Holy Angel or the pet white tiger, or even the master and servant teaming up. No matter which of the pseudo-artifacts I use, it will be enough to affect the battle situation and change my disadvantage.
Unfortunately, the pseudo-artifacts can only be used one by one, not two or more at the same time. The "Yellow Spring Gate" that has been upgraded to the lower level of level 10 and the "Spirit Sealing Card" that seals the Black Mountain Old Demon are both very precious and cannot be wasted easily. It is best to use only one of them to end the battle successfully. Otherwise, if both are used, the price paid is too high, which is what I don't want to see. After quickly weighing the pros and cons, I decided to use the "Yellow Spring Gate" to fight with all my strength. On the one hand, I got another pseudo-artifact reward of "Yellow Spring Gate" through the battle of besieging Elmaidi. It only takes some time to cultivate it to a higher level. The Black Mountain Old Demon sealed in the "Spirit Sealing Card" is unique. I also hope to sign a "Soul Contract" to subdue it. While having a powerful subordinate, I can also learn more about the eighth-level Yin Demon Clan, which is convenient for me to further expand my power. Once I use it this time, whether I die in battle or escape, it means that I have completely lost control of it. It will not be easy to encounter another Eight Extreme Demon, or one with such strong power. It will not only take time to search, but also depend on luck. In comparison, it should be more precious than the "Yellow Spring Gate", so I am reluctant to use it. On the other hand, considering the specific function, if you want to kill Pirlo, you must attack with all your strength. In terms of the real body, the Black Mountain Old Demon is definitely much stronger than the dozen or so undead minions of the lower tenth level and the upper nineth level that came out of the "Yellow Spring Gate", but my target is Pirlo himself, and there is no need to engage in unnecessary entanglement with the holy angel and the pet white tiger. Humans are alive and will definitely find ways to avoid danger. The Black Mountain Old Demon focuses on attacking and defending on the spot. Pursuit and guerrilla warfare are not his forte. The pseudo-artifact has a time limit. Once Pirlo deliberately dodges, he may not be killed within fifteen minutes. Instead, the "Gate of Yellow Springs" can summon various undead minions with different functions. With the absolute advantage in numbers, it will be more effective to launch targeted attacks on Pirlo. Just in case, I have already arranged the tenth-level lower-level and nine-level upper-level undead minions that might come in handy next to the "Gate of Yellow Springs" in the "Dead Space", so that they can be summoned and dispatched to fight at will.
I asked the two white-bone dragons and Wu Ma to quickly retreat, a little further away from Pirlo, to avoid being attacked by the "Great Prophecy" or the pet white tiger, and at the same time, I occupied one side. I wandered around, pretending to attack at an opportunity, and restrained the pet white tiger from a distance, so that it dared not relax its vigilance. Stay away from Pirlo. I fled all the way, leading the holy angel who was chasing me to the other side about four or five hundred meters away, and used the "outside incarnation" to find an opportunity, and opened a little distance between me and the holy angel. I quickly changed back to my original body, used the "Yellow Spring Gate", and appeared in a place opposite to where I was, about two hundred meters away from Pirlo, and then turned into a bat again, and continued to fly backwards to dodge, trying to open up a greater distance between me and Pirlo and the "Yellow Spring Gate".
The strongest of his subordinates, Ibola, has reached the middle level of level 10. It is impossible to go through the "Yellow Spring Gate" to fight. The first to appear is the lower level 10 Immortal Ghost Phoenix Wuji, followed by another upper level 9 Immortal Ghost Phoenix that he subdued. The two of them did not rush to Pirlo to directly challenge the pet white tiger and the "Great Prophecy", but watched the holy angel from a distance, ready to fight. This is the task assigned to them. The pet white tiger has to protect Pirlo, and it is impossible to rush over to destroy it quickly. The holy angel is the most suitable and only candidate. It may give up chasing me and directly harass and contain the subordinates near the "Yellow Spring Gate". In order to better attack Pirlo, it must be effectively stopped.
The third one to rush out of the "Gate of the Underworld" was the tenth-level lower-order Hell Dragon Letediwa. I also transferred it from the "Hell Volcano" to the Lost Continent's teleportation gate and prepared it for battle. Facing the Holy Angel and the pet white tiger, it can at least resist for a few rounds. Next came Khufu, who surpassed the ninth-level upper-order. With the special equipment "Pyramid", it has a strong defense ability. With the strong cooperation of other companions, it will not be so easy to be killed. After doing a good job of protection, the main force attacking Pirlo came out later - the ninth-level upper-order six-armed giant magician. With the "Torch Stone Bomb" magic with a super long attack distance, a few more came out to form a large-scale attack firepower. With the protection of the pet white tiger and Pirlo's own defense ability alone, it can be said that it is difficult to resist. In addition, Wu Ma lurked on the side ready to launch a surprise attack at any time, which is not easy to guard against. I may also get the opportunity to replenish my mental power and cast "Summoning the Dead" twice. Pirlo may be in danger this time, and he will be in trouble.
When Wuji, Letediwa and the others emerged from the "Yellow Spring Gate", Pirlo just remained highly alert. His pet white tiger no longer took the initiative to attack, but stayed close to him to strengthen his own protection. The actions of the Holy Angel chasing me also became more cautious, always paying attention to the "Yellow Spring Gate". However, I did not instruct Wuji and the others to take the initiative to attack. Instead, I took a defensive stance and did not pose a direct threat to Pirlo for the time being, so he did not know what type of undead would appear next, and he had no way to make targeted preparations in advance. The armless giant magician appeared and cast the "Torch Bomb" magic at Pirlo. My intention was already very clear. I used ultra-long-range attacks to avoid the direct threat of the pet white tiger and the "Great Prophecy". However, due to the limitations of his own physique and speed, Pirlo could not quickly get rid of the attack of the ultra-long-range "Torch Bomb" and could only passively take the beating. Wu Ma and the two white bone dragons were standing by and watching covetously, so that the pet white tiger did not dare to stay away. I used my absolute advantage in numbers to effectively suppress him in turn to see if the former cardinal with poor defense could withstand more than ten minutes and dozens of crazy bombardments of "Torch Bomb".
After being attacked by the Torch Stone Bomb, and seeing the second six-armed giant magician coming out of the Yellow Spring Gate, Pirlo probably realized that the situation was not good. The distance was too far, and he could only walk and move slowly, so he was helpless. Facing the threat of Wu Ma and the two white-bone dragons, and his pet white tiger did not dare to stay away, he made a prompt decision and immediately asked the Holy Angel to give up chasing me and fly to the Yellow Spring Gate instead, probably to stop the six-armed giant magician from attacking him. Presumably, he should also know the Yellow Spring Gate. As long as he can survive the 15-minute usage limit, he will still have the advantage in strength.
I clearly know the strengths and weaknesses of my subordinates and the tactics they use. I am naturally prepared for the Holy Angel to withdraw and attack. Wuji and another level nine upper-level Undead Ghost Phoenix are waiting for it. I took the initiative to face it, with Wuji as the main force and the other Undead Ghost Phoenix helping from the side, forming a pincer attack. The Holy Angel is stronger than them. Naturally, I don't take them seriously. I am eager to harass the six-armed giant magician's attack, and I don't want to take a detour to avoid it. I directly choose to force a breakthrough. But I am still cautious. I avoid the stronger Wuji and rush to the side defended by the other Undead Ghost Phoenix.
Confronting the Holy Angel head-on, the two Wujis could not stop him, and had to use other means to contain him. Seeing that there was only a few dozen meters between them and the Holy Angel, Wuji and another Undead Ghost Phoenix cried out at the same time, and the black flames on the surface of their bodies swelled violently and exploded, and they used the skill of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix". A dark mass of dark energy in the shape of various birds spread in front and blocked the Holy Angel's way. Because the purpose was to intercept, not to attack and damage, the energy birds transformed by the two Undead Ghost Phoenixes consciously strengthened their abilities in this regard. They used various methods to slow down the speed of the Holy Angel and contain it. In addition, with their unique "Phoenix Cry" that could block the opponent's actions, they had to block the Holy Angel's way at all costs and prevent it from breaking through and interfering with the six-armed giant magician's attack on Pirlo. Anyway, they had the "immortality ability" as the last means of saving their lives. He was not afraid of being killed easily by the Holy Angel, and Letediwa and Hufu would also provide support from the side, and they were both capable of fighting with the Holy Angel for several rounds. He should be able to successfully block the Holy Angel's attack.
At the beginning, the Holy Angel didn't care about the various black birds with strange shapes blocking in front of it. It forced its way in, raised its hands and legs, and easily killed them. However, it was followed by various attacks of undead magic. After being attacked dozens of times in a row, its movements were inevitably affected, and it began to dodge. It dared not to force its way in again. Wuji and another undead ghost phoenix moved accordingly to ensure that they were in front of the Holy Angel. In addition to commanding the transformed black bird to do its best to intercept, they also did not dodge. Once the Holy Angel approached, they used the "Phoenix Crying" skill to try their best to block its movement and prevent it from breaking through smoothly. There was also the Hell Dragon Let'diva next to it, and Khufu below, assisting in the battle and vowing not to retreat. The four of them joined forces to block the Holy Angel halfway, and they could not get close to the six-armed giant magician for a while, effectively preventing them from attacking Pirlo.
As soon as the Holy Angel left me, I immediately changed back to my original form and began to activate the "Touch of Death" to entangle the White Bone Dragon, absorbing its spiritual power with all my strength, so that I could cast the "Summoning of the Dead" again. At such a critical moment of life and death, having one more ninth-level subordinate to fight means a better chance of winning, so I must not relax. Anyway, with the more threatening "Gate of the Underworld" to contain him, Pirlo would not give up the important and let the Holy Angel come back to trouble me - I actually hope that he would do that, so that the six-armed giant magicians who kept pouring out could attack more easily and try to kill him in one fell swoop.
Facing the constant attacks of the "Torch Stone Bombs", and the threats from the two white-bone dragons and the horseless beasts hovering nearby, Pirlo could only passively defend himself. His pet white tiger was not only responsible for the alert, but also used its body to take the attacks on behalf of Pirlo. Unfortunately, as more and more six-armed giant magicians came out to participate in the attack, each of them had several "Torch Stone Bombs" shooting from different directions. The pet white tiger alone was unable to block them. Pirlo was inevitably attacked. After several "Torch Stone Bombs" exploded, the "Holy Light Barrier" would be broken, causing direct damage to his body. The effective attack range of the six-armed giant magician was too far for Pirlo and his pet white tiger to reach him, so the only hope was placed on the Holy Angel, who was also very strong. He first tried to bypass the attack of the Undead Phoenix, not wanting to waste time on it. With the help of Letd'Ivoire and Khufu, he failed. Then, perhaps he received an order from Pirlo, and regardless of himself, he forced his way towards the Undead Phoenix under the attack. Only by repelling them first, without the threat of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" and "Phoenix Singing", could he successfully break through the blockade and rush towards the six-armed giant magician.
Wuji was the first to block in front. "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" had already consumed nearly half of it. Only by intercepting it head-on could he stop the Holy Angel from breaking through. He also disregarded himself and frantically engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Holy Angel. With the help of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix", he effectively blocked the Holy Angel for a moment, but was eventually killed because of his lack of strength. However, while Wuji was fighting for his life, the other Undead Ghost Phoenix, Letediwa, and Hufu had regrouped and were ready to intercept the Holy Angel. In the end, they still had to fight the Undead Ghost Phoenix to death before they had a chance to break through as soon as possible. At the moment of being killed, Wuji activated the ability of "Rebirth after Disaster", resurrected, and regained his combat effectiveness. However, he was downgraded by one level after death, and currently only had the ninth level upper level. However, the skill of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" could continue to be used, and there was no need to be subject to the one-hour time limit. Wuji immediately used "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" again, flew over to assist in defense, and tried his best to prevent the Holy Angel from breaking through smoothly.
