Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 290 Triumph
Seeing that the fifteen-minute time limit of Hua Mantian's entrapment was about to expire, enemy players who were absorbed into the "Demon God Realm" gradually escaped, or were absorbed into the "Demon God Realm" one or two minutes earlier, or killed our companions who were users in advance - the "Demon God Realm" cultivated to a higher level by top players had basically been consumed in the two previous battles against the Cathedral of Light. The "Demon God Realm" used this time was not of a very high level, and the opponent was the top player including the artifact holder. Not to mention taking the opportunity to kill the enemy, even if they wanted to trap them for fifteen minutes, once they used a powerful pseudo-artifact, it would probably not be easy to do. In fact, no matter what happened, there would only be one result, that is, other enemy players who were absorbed into the "Demon God Realm" would definitely appear in the meeting hall before Hua Mantian. All of this was arranged by Afeng and Xue Wuxia, who planned and specifically hosted this raid, and it was proceeding smoothly as they expected. In order to increase the success rate of killing Hua Mantian as soon as possible, the two of them took great pains to carefully design every step of the attack and kill process and determine the most suitable candidates. Hua Mantian, Yamato Spirit, Lost World and others launched a counterattack at the same time, without being too arrogant. Their positions were very close to each other, which was convenient for mutual support. The timing of our several magic knights using the "Demon God Domain" was different. They first dealt with other enemies such as Yamato Spirit and Lost World, leaving the main target Hua Mantian for the last. Even if he acted cautiously and did not move too far away from his companions, the time difference of one or two minutes was enough for us to make corresponding arrangements and isolate him as much as possible. The "Demon God Domain" used against him was specially selected to trap him, and it had a strong effect. Even if he used the pseudo-artifact to help, it was difficult to kill the user and escape in advance. Moreover, the use of several "Demon God Fields" is ostensibly mainly to temporarily trap these main enemy forces to facilitate our attack. At the same time, it can also paralyze Hua Mantian so that he will not suspect that we are intentionally targeting him.
Under normal circumstances, it is definitely not an easy task to kill a Paladin of Light, especially a top-level warrior who has a Level 10 Upper Light Dragon Mount with the ability to fly and fight in the air, and can summon a Level 10 Upper Eight-winged Holy Angel. Especially since Hua Mantian also holds the defensive artifact "Battle Angel Helmet", and summons a Battle Angel that is even stronger than a Level 10 Upper Holy Angel. Although he only holds an extra light shield in his left hand, and only increases his defensive ability a little, it is enough to break the original balance and overwhelm other Demon Gods or Holy Angels of the same Level 10 Upper. Moreover, in the meeting hall, the attack and defense agility of both sides has been increased by 30%, so it is doubly difficult to kill him. Even if we concentrate our masters to besiege him, Hua Mantian, who has the ability to fly and fight in the air and has strong mobility, has no hope of winning, but he is still quite sure of escaping with his life. Not only Hua Mantian himself would have such an understanding, but his companions must also think so. We will not be too cautious about our actions. As long as we seize an opportunity and buy a little time, we can launch a threatening attack on Hua Mantian and try our best to kill him in one fell swoop. Killing the leader of Huadu first will not only hit the enemy's morale, but also make the coordination between players of different factions chaotic without the coordination and command of the master, which will give us more opportunities. This is also the main reason why Long Xingtianxia fully supports this action and does not hesitate to use several "Demon God Realms" as a means of cover to create opportunities for us to design a plan to kill Hua Mantian first.
The Yamato Spirit and Lost World that appeared earlier fell into our control range. There were enemies everywhere around us, so we naturally didn't dare to fight and rushed towards our own camp with all our strength, intending to break out as soon as possible. Some enemies, or their direct troops, also cooperated to launch a full-scale counterattack and supported them from the outside. We arranged special people to pay attention to them to prevent them from suddenly appearing in our camp and causing chaos to our actions. At the same time, we launched a fierce attack, not to kill them - although compared with Hua Mantian, who is a Paladin of Light, the Yamato Spirit and Lost World, who can only fight on foot, are easier to deal with, but they also require considerable investment and effort. At least three or more top masters of the same level are needed to do it. In this situation, the enemy still has the strength to fight back, and we don't have enough strength to eat them in one fell swoop, so we just have to force them back and drive them out of our control range, as far away from Hua Mantian as possible, so that he can't get strong rescue in time when we launch a siege and attack. At the same time, it can also further paralyze the opponent, indicating that we have no intention of taking advantage of the situation to surround and kill them, so that they can't expect that we would choose to kill the most difficult Hua Mantian instead of the easy one.
Without encountering too strong resistance, Yamato Spirit, Lost World and the others easily broke out of the siege with the help of their companions. After joining the main force, they continued to fight back against us. It seemed that no one was too worried about Hua Mantian's situation and took some targeted support actions in advance. Everything was going smoothly according to the predetermined plan. It was estimated that Hua Mantian should also appear. In addition to Afeng, Xue Wuxia and some of my undead men who were responsible for the main raid and killing operations and were ready to launch a fierce attack, several of our main forces such as Long Xing Tianxia and Desert Eagle also brought some companions to appropriately adjust their positions and shrink their formations a little to more effectively block the counterattack of the enemy's support personnel, and also play a role in blocking Hua Mantian's breakout. In addition, a group of fresh troops were transferred in from outside the meeting hall in a timely manner, and the follow-up personnel were also ready to attack in order to deal with various situations that might occur.
A faint black light flashed, and Hua Mantian finally escaped from the "Demon God Realm" and appeared. He was still riding the Holy Dragon of Light, possessed by a war angel, and a little angel about a foot long was flying on his head. He drew his bow and arrow, and obviously used the pseudo-artifact "Cupid's Arrow". His body would stagnate for a short time after appearing, and stopped in mid-air. There were no injuries on the surface of his body, and it seemed that he did not encounter too much trouble in the "Demon God Realm". However, his face was not very good, and he seemed a little exasperated, as if he was quite dissatisfied that he could not kill our companions and escape early.
The opportunity finally came, and we naturally would not miss it. Without the slightest hesitation, we launched a fierce attack before Hua Mantian had time to observe the surrounding situation clearly. Xue Wuxia, who was on high alert, was quick-witted and activated the "Thunder Chisel" to strike out a lightning bolt. In order to be able to attack more accurately and grab a little more time, she was less than 50 meters away from Hua Mantian, and struck him in time before he could recover his ability to move and dodge. She also used a pseudo-artifact "Lightning Element Core" in advance to further enhance the power of lightning magic, giving Hua Mantian a head start and causing him some damage. This dimmed the brightness of his "Body Protection Holy Light" at the level of the tenth-level incomplete battle angel.
Following closely behind was the "self-explosion" of the Explosive Bone Snakes that rushed over, one after another, continuously attacking Hua Mantian. The paralysis effect of a thunderbolt delayed his movements for a while, allowing the Explosive Bone Snakes scattered around to buy some time to adjust, and to be deployed in time, rushing to his body before he could recover his normal reaction. Every "self-explosion" could affect his movements, and he could not adjust to the best combat state. He was forced to be exhausted and had no time to take care of other things. The strength of the "body protection holy light" around him was also constantly weakened. Xue Wuxia did not hesitate to use the "Thunder God Chisel" to launch lightning bombardments continuously, and cooperated with the "self-explosion" of the Explosive Bone Snakes. He always caught him when he was the most embarrassed and it was difficult for him to dodge effectively before launching, and he never missed. Even if he did not hit him directly, he would at least touch the edge, constantly increasing his damage. Unfortunately, the "self-destruction" of the Fiery Bone Snake is indiscriminate, and it has a damaging effect on everyone except me. Afeng and other melee undead minions can't help for the time being. In order to avoid accidentally hurting our own people who are relatively close, the Giant Mage Dragon Knight is not suitable for precise attacks. He can only send out a few shooters to snipe Hua Mantian from the back when the opportunity arises, causing as much damage to him as possible.
After being caught off guard by our fierce attack and suffering a little loss, Hua Mantian is after all a top-level expert with rich practical experience and skills, and equipped with the defensive artifact "War Angel Helmet". In the meeting hall, he quickly stabilized his position and became methodical in dodging. Even if long-range attacks alone can still cause him damage, they cannot effectively prevent him from escaping. Therefore, I temporarily suspended the "self-destruction" attack of the Explosive Bone Snake, and Afeng rushed forward in time to start a close combat with Hua Mantian, trying his best to entangle him and prevent him from escaping. Of course, Afeng, who might have been evenly matched, would definitely not be Hua Mantian's opponent in the meeting hall of Huadu, but he had already used the pseudo-artifact "Wind Blows to the North" to contain Hua Mantian's movement, and had the support of several shooters, especially Xue Wuxia's "Thunder God Chisel", plus the desperate assault of several undead under my command, Hua Mantian could not concentrate all his efforts to deal with him, but he would not be taken advantage of for a while.
Perhaps they were aware of the difficulties Hua Mantian was in and could not leave our control area in time like Yamato Spirit and Lost World. The enemy sent some people to launch a counterattack, trying to help Hua Mantian break through, but they were stubbornly blocked by us who were well prepared. Led by Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle, they fought desperately, and the follow-up support troops continued to pour in, replacing the seriously injured, always maintaining the strongest attack power, and at the same time sending people to harass the enemy's rear, directly threatening the safety of those archers and magicians, and restraining their counterattack strength. They could not devote too many troops to help Hua Mantian, temporarily curbing the enemy's offensive, forming a stalemate, and trying their best to buy us more time.
The previous successive attacks had already caused Hua Mantian, who was caught off guard, to suffer heavy damage, and the strength of the "holy light of protection" was weakened a lot. Facing Afeng's close-range attack, he was determined to break through and tried his best to meet up with his companions. He was not interested in fighting, but Afeng, who had transformed into a "three-headed and six-armed" man, seized the opportunity and stabbed him several times. The swift- moving Yibo La and Gu Ben would naturally not easily miss the opportunity to attack, and also caused him some damage, forcing him to temporarily calm down and patiently deal with Afeng. He dared not rush to break out of the siege and wanted to rely on his own powerful strength to find better opportunities in the battle. It was a pity that Hua Mantian's strength in the meeting hall was much stronger than Afeng, and we could say that no one could match him in a single fight, but the location of the battle took place within our control, which could provide more powerful support to Afeng. Most of the limited long-range sniper attacks launched by the enemy against Afeng were blocked by the bodies of the undead men I arranged, and did not cause much harassment to Afeng. Hua Mantian was isolated and helpless, and could only deal with the siege of Afeng, Yibola and others, as well as the long-range firepower raids of Xue Wuxia and several shooters. He encountered great trouble and was unable to break through our interception and escape.
Hua Mantian was a little anxious. His "Cupid's Arrow" had already expired, but he had been blocked by the pseudo-artifact "Wind Blows North" used by Afeng. His actions were greatly disturbed and he could not break through the siege and meet up with his companions under the siege of many external forces. He did not want to delay any longer, so he finally used another pseudo-artifact "Holy Light Armor" - adding a layer of light armor protection to the body surface, which could support fifteen minutes, or regenerate three times after being shattered by the enemy, intending to break through by force with further enhanced protection capabilities. Seeing that Hua Mantian used this kind of pseudo-artifact, we finally breathed a sigh of relief. This is also a key to the raid. We have been worried that he would use the pseudo-artifact "God's Domain". As a top light player, Hua Mantian must have a "God's Domain". He has not experienced too large-scale battles and may have been cultivated to a very high level. Once he decides to use it, it will definitely be dangerous to take Afeng into the "God's Domain". Even if he survived, the delay of fifteen minutes would allow Hua Mantian to replace an intact angel and recover his damaged combat power. In addition, since the enemy was already prepared, it would be even more difficult to successfully kill Hua Mantian. In any case, it would add unpredictable variables, which would have a serious impact on Afeng and Xue Wuxia's revenge plan, and it would probably not achieve a satisfactory result. It’s just that Hua Mantian didn’t know about the personal grudge between us, and he underestimated the situation that we were trying to kill him in one fell swoop. He probably thought that with his own strength, even if he encountered some troubles, his life would not be in danger, and he still had the confidence to break out. He was reluctant to use the powerful pseudo-artifact "God's Domain" in the conference hall, which was an environment favorable to him. Instead, he chose the defensive pseudo-artifact "Holy Light Armor", which seemed cautious but was actually too conservative, and fell into our calculations. It would be impossible to use another pseudo-artifact within at least fifteen minutes (even after the light armor was shattered three times, it was still subject to a fifteen-minute time limit). The inability to use the "God's Domain" to get out of the predicament increased our chances of winning.
Hua Mantian, who used the pseudo-artifact "Holy Light Armor", launched a counterattack, trying to forcefully break through our interception, but he also happened to be met with our full-force attack. There was no need to worry that if we put too much pressure on him, he would use the "God's Domain" and hold back. Afeng entangled Hua Mantian closely, and resisted Hua Mantian's attack head-on without giving an inch. In the case of obvious disadvantage in strength, this would cause relatively large damage to him, but Afeng was the most suitable for such a tangle, with a strong ability to fight for a long time. His artifact "Blood-sucking Spear" has the function of absorbing the opponent's health to replenish his own consumption. Although Hua Mantian is possessed by an angel, he cannot cause direct damage to him before it is removed, and his health cannot be absorbed, but his mount, the Holy Dragon of Light, only has an extra layer of holy light protection, which can reduce some of the damage, but it will be absorbed by Afeng. Afeng transformed into a "three-headed, six-armed" being. Almost all of his attacks were directed at the Holy Dragon of Light under Hua Mantian's crotch. Not only could he block his actions, but he could also constantly replenish his health points, so that he would not be killed too easily by Hua Mantian's fierce attacks. Moreover, Afeng's mount, the Fire Phoenix, had the special ability of "Phoenix Nirvana". Even if he was killed, he could choose not to quit the battle, and could be resurrected immediately. He could continue to fight after reducing his level by two levels, so that Afeng could still maintain a relatively strong combat effectiveness, which could effectively extend Afeng's combat time and give him the capital to fight Hua Mantian head-on, so that he would not be defeated by him too quickly. In addition to Xue Wuxia's "Thunder Chisel" and Yun Wuying and other shooters, the task of attacking Hua Mantian's body was mainly given to Yibo La and Gu Ben. Their swift speed always allowed them to seize the opportunity to sneak attack. Although their attack power was weak and the damage they caused was not great, they won because of their high frequency, which made Hua Mantian unable to resist and distracted him a lot. Taotao's "Flame Dragon Warrior" was also quite useful. He launched a full-strength charge, trying his best to increase the damage to Hua Mantian.
Hua Mantian, desperate and desperate, certainly would not let us manipulate him. He was willing to be in danger and fought against Afeng. He was willing to suffer a little more damage and forcibly knocked Afeng back, trying to escape. However, I had already dispatched several level 10 middle-level and lower-level undead ghost phoenixes to prevent him from breaking through. In addition to them rushing forward and fighting desperately, I also kept instructing the Explosive Bone Snake to rush forward and "self-destruct". Being desperately entangled by the undead ghost phoenix, Hua Mantian had no way to get rid of it smoothly and had to bear the most damage. Although the undead ghost phoenix would also be affected, they have the ability to "rebirth after a disaster" and can revive and fight again. Being able to entangle for a longer time is not only conducive to Xue Wuxia and Yun Wuying's long-range attacks, but Afeng can also take advantage of the situation to make timely adjustments and continue to chase and entangle Hua Mantian, leaving him no way to escape.
Several water magicians were constantly replenishing Xue Wuxia's spiritual power, allowing her to activate the "Thunder Chisel" to launch attacks one after another. The distance was quite close, and Afeng and my undead subordinates tried their best to entangle Hua Mantian and restrict his movements. The hit rate was quite high, causing him the greatest damage. Even with the defensive artifacts and pseudo artifacts as protection, and in the meeting hall, more than a dozen consecutive "Thunder Chisels" made it difficult for Hua Mantian to bear. What's more, there were also the enhanced magic arrow attacks of several sniper shooters such as Yun Wuying, as well as the damage caused by Afeng and my undead, which finally made Hua Mantian unable to bear it. Not only did the three-layer light armor protection function of the pseudo artifact "Holy Light Armor" quickly fail, but even the angel who possessed it was killed, and he didn't even have a chance to take it back. Without the "Holy Light Body Protection", he could only rely on the defense of his body to resist. Under our crazy attack, it was naturally more difficult to resist, and he was weak in resistance and had no way to escape. He was suppressed and had no power to fight back. Unfortunately, the effect of the "Holy Light Armor" has not yet been eliminated. Even if he wants to use the "Domain of God" to get a chance to breathe, he can't get it. His desperate resistance is just to prolong his life and delay the time of defeat. It is impossible to break out of the siege with his own strength. Yamato and his companions are also extremely anxious. They desperately launch a counterattack and want to rush over to help him break through. However, they encountered the stubborn resistance of our elites such as Long Xing Tian Xia and Desert Eagle who were well prepared. In addition, the timely reinforcement of the follow-up troops made them withstand their attack. Even the assault team deep behind the enemy took the opportunity to harass their archers and magician clusters, and also made some gains, forcing them not to fully devote themselves to the counterattack, indirectly dispersing the pressure on the front line. It is impossible to break through our interception and rescue Hua Mantian from the predicament for a while.
Without giving Hua Mantian a chance to use the "God's Domain" to catch his breath, we joined forces to besiege him, cooperated closely, and used almost all the most effective means of attack. Finally, within fifteen minutes, we succeeded in killing him - the fatal blow came from Xue Wuxia's "Thunder God Chisel", which split him into a piece of black charcoal while riding on the back of the Holy Dragon of Light. He died before his ambitions were fulfilled, but I don't know if he, who has always been arrogant, will shed tears in the "Resurrection Corridor" after being defeated by Afeng, Xue Wuxia and me again. Of course, we also paid a huge price for this. In order to kill him alone, not only did two top players with offensive main artifacts join forces to directly attack him, in addition to several "Demon God Domains" and several shooters and water magicians to cooperate or assist in the battle, Afeng, Xue Wuxia, and Yun Wuying also each used a pseudo-artifact, and I also made a lot of sacrifices. More than 30 Explosive Bone Snakes "self-exploded", and several Undead Ghost Phoenixes that were hit and bombed at least "reborn" once. Even Guben was severely damaged. If I didn't have the ability to "return in wartime", coupled with proper command, and being in our control range, we could get timely rescue, at least several of the tenth-level undeads would have died in the battle. This is not to mention the losses suffered by the Giant Mage Dragon Knight in order to intercept the Yamato Spirit and others who were trying to meet Hua Mantian's reinforcements. After the battle, at least ten days and a half of the month's hard work was wasted. In order to race against time and try to kill Hua Mantian as soon as possible, it can be said that a huge price was paid.
But it was all worth it. Not only did it fulfill the wishes of Afeng and Xue Wuxia, but it also achieved another goal of ours, which was to make the enemies in the meeting hall leaderless. Without their leader, whether it was the seemingly neutral forces, the Yamato Spirit, the Lost World, or Olympia and Alice from the Church of Light, they did not belong to the same system, and the command and coordination would definitely not be as smooth as Hua Mantian. Once there was even a little flaw in the coordination, it could be used by us to find more opportunities. Moreover, Hua Mantian's premature death was also a heavy blow to the morale of the Huadu side, and would unconsciously shake their confidence in persisting until victory. Our side was more motivated, and it seemed that we had seen the dawn of victory. Everyone was fighting hard, hoping to earn more merit rewards through heroic performance.
Even so, the resistance of Huadu was still quite tenacious. Driven by Yamato Spirit, Olympia and others, even though they were separated and fighting on their own, they still caused us a lot of trouble. They insisted on fighting to the last breath, and even did not hesitate to use pseudo-artifacts to delay the time of defeat, trying to survive the twelve-hour group battle time limit. The enemies in the garrison outside the conference hall also gathered and desperately launched a counterattack, trying to break through our defense line and reinforce the enemies in the conference hall. Several times, they threatened the main team deployed in the area near the gate of the conference hall. The situation can be said to be quite critical. However, our resistance alliance elites are all out, and the leaders are all there. The command and coordination capabilities are far superior to Huadu. In the face of danger, they responded in time, mobilized manpower to carry out necessary reinforcements, and quickly stabilized the situation. They did not succeed in their plot, making the battle situation develop step by step in a direction that is favorable to us.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, we launched attacks in turns, leaving the enemies in the meeting hall with no chance to catch their breath, and unable to seize the opportunity to kill the severely injured opponents in time. After a hard fight, they were ultimately annihilated and all died in battle. The fall of the meeting hall also meant that Huadu suffered the fate of being destroyed again, announcing that this group battle ended with our triumph.
