Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 353: Using one's strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses
After personally witnessing the battle between "Death's Dinner" and "Possession of the Miracle of Light", I have a more accurate understanding. No wonder the dead old man and Lucifer, the fallen king, were suppressed by the angel Michael for so long and have not been able to turn over for tens of millions of years. There is indeed a big gap in the strength of the two sides. One-on-one, the dead old man's clone is no direct enemy of Hanover, the Knight of Light who was possessed by Michael's clone. He was forced to retreat again and again to dodge Hanover's attacks. He did not have the invincible and wanton killing scene of the previous battle against those level nine light NPCs stationed in the Cathedral of Light. He even looked quite embarrassed and could only use undead magic for medium-range harassment and play a role in some diversionary actions. He did not have enough strength to intercept Hanover's attack from the front. Of course, if Hanover wanted to defeat or even kill the clone of the dead old man I summoned through the "Death God's Dinner", he couldn't do it in a short time by himself. After all, it was the clone of the main god who carried all the spiritual consciousness. Although his attack was weak, he would be at most forced to a disadvantage with his rich practical experience and many unique abilities, but he would not be in danger of defeat for a while. Hanover seemed to know this clearly, so after forcing the clone of the dead old man to retreat and making it difficult for him to pose a greater threat, his main target of attack was still on me, the "first person to chant", and he tried his best to chase me and kill me, and he kept closing the distance between me and me. It was obvious that he wanted to capture the king first and kill me.
I don't want to be approached by Hanover approached by Hanover. He is possessed by the clone of the Angel of God Michael, and now has the ability to activate the "Domain of God". Without the restraint of another clone of the super powerful Fallen King Lucifer who is beyond the Saint level, he can completely absorb me into the "Domain of God". Concentrating on dealing with me can also prevent the undead subordinates I summoned from looking for trouble with other level nine bright NPCs stationed in the church, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. This is the message that the clone of the dead old man summoned through the "Death God's Dinner" actively conveyed to me. It should be his previous experience in fighting with Michael's clone, which is a trick used by Michael's clone. It is indeed worthy of being the ultimate undead summoning magic. The clone that carries all the spiritual consciousness and combat experience of the dead old man actually has the function of "active warning", reminding me that I must do my best to avoid this situation. Of course, I dare not ignore the warning of the dead old man, and immediately dispatched Ibola to support. Taking advantage of the speed, especially the strange attack method, I mainly attacked the Light Holy Dragon mount under Hanover's crotch, trying my best to contain his pursuit of me, and at the same time, I bought more time for the dead old man's clone, so that he could prepare more fully and have the opportunity to use more powerful undead magic, bringing more trouble to Hanover. Under the close cooperation of the two, Hanover had to pay more attention to repel their attacks, and the speed of approaching me was inevitably affected. I kept wandering around, trying to keep the distance between me and Hanover. After all, it was the "God's Domain" ability launched by Michael's clone in Hanover's body, and without any props, the effective attack distance was not as good as the Light Pseudo-Artifact with the same function. Depending on the strength of the possessed person, at most, the target within a range of 20 to 30 meters could be captured into the "God's Domain", precisely because the effective attack range was not very wide. I was able to distance myself from Hanover without any mental power and without being able to use any skills or abilities. To this end, in addition to summoning the physical clone and the Vampire Fang Emperor, Heinrich and Haishar stayed nearby to protect me and act with me, trying to ensure that I would not be attacked or harassed by other level nine NPCs of light, so that I could focus more on retreating. At the same time, Taotao, who was given to the physical clone to ride, was summoned back and I rode on him again. I tried to avoid being approached by Hanover within 20 to 30 meters and forcibly taken into the "God's Domain".
The only two who directly faced Hanover's attack were the old man's clone and Ibola. One relied on strength, and the other relied on speed and strange attack methods. They were able to compete with Hanover, who was possessed by Michael's clone. The other undead subordinates, including myself and the materialized clone, were defeated when they encountered Hanover's attack head-on. They were simply unable to resist. If they rushed forward rashly, they would not only be of no help, but also fail to intercept and pursue. They would also die in vain and unnecessarily reduce my strength. Fortunately, I had an additional holy beast level, the ultimate knight of destruction with wind attributes that was good at speed to help me, and Taotao, a mount that could be ridden on both land and air, so I was able to effectively contain Hanover's pursuit and did not pose too much direct threat to me who was temporarily unable to perform any skills. Of course, as long as Michael's clone is still possessed by Hanover, I dare not be careless in the slightest. Every time I retreat, I am extremely cautious. After all, even the slightest mistake may cause me to be directly entangled by Hanover and fall into danger and find it difficult to escape.
Like the undead men I summoned, the other companions of the resistance alliance received warnings in advance and did not dare to attack Hanover directly, to avoid being useless and bringing disaster upon themselves. However, the level nine light NPCs stationed in the church had no such scruples. As long as there was an opportunity, they would use various methods and means of attack to block my movement, intending to help Hanover "execute" me earlier. Occupying the advantage of home court and the advantage in numbers, it can be said that it is hard to defend. No matter where I retreated, I often had to bear the direct attacks of light magic or even light NPCs. Fortunately, the physical clones I created with the "Illusion and Reality" magic and the Vampire Fang Emperor who was combined with the magic of the "Illusion and Reality" were not weak. On the one hand, the physical clones used the "Advanced Puppetry" to contain and harass, and even the elite level nine light NPCs would be affected to some extent. At least their summoned angels and pets were not enough to completely offset the effect of the "Advanced Puppetry", weakening the threat they brought to me. On the other hand, The "blood bull" combined blood-sucking Fang Emperor also devoted himself to defense, launched a counterattack without hesitation, and even took my place to bear the damage that I could not dodge in time. At the same time, I also received direct or indirect help from other companions, who tried their best to cover my actions, so there were not too many opportunities for those bright NPCs. It effectively protected my safety, allowing me to continue to deal with Hanover, although I could not do anything to him and was forced to a disadvantage. The situation did not look optimistic , but it was not a disaster for him. More importantly, the main combat force was intact, and there was a chance to launch a counterattack.
I was trying my best to deal with Hanover, waiting for the moment when his "Possession of the Miracle of Light" exceeded the summoning time limit. I am a genius player whose basic mental power attribute value has reached the third level of Super Gold. Even compared with the current tenth-level Undead Holy Spirit Magister NPCs such as Clay and others, I am ranked first. Hanover is not ranked in the top few among the Knights of the God of Light, and I also have the dark artifact "Dead Scepter" that increases the summoning time. I don't believe that Hanover can hold on for longer. As long as he removes the state of possession of the avatar of the Angel of God Michael in advance, the initiative will return to my hands. Although I used all my skills and tried my best to retreat and avoid being approached by Hanover, the strength of Michael's avatar is still much stronger than that of the dead old man, and he is also extremely experienced in combat. The location is very reasonable, which brings me a lot of pressure. It is very hard to dodge every time. Among the undead subordinates and dozens of companions, only Ibola can help a little. Under the tenacious resistance, it only delays some time. Finally, Hanover found an opportunity and approached me to a distance of about 20 meters. He activated the "God's Domain" and forcibly sucked me and all the summoned undead subordinates into it. However, I still could not completely avoid being sucked into the "God's Domain". Fortunately, I had already made full preparations for the difficulties that might be encountered. It would be the best result to avoid being sucked into the "God's Domain". Even if I could not successfully hold on to the end, I had already delayed a lot of time. I believe that Hanover's state of being possessed by Michael's clone should not last long. As long as he can survive these most difficult few minutes, Hanover will be in trouble.
In the "God's Domain", Hanover's combat power has been further enhanced, making it even more difficult to deal with. The old man's clone and Ebola alone can no longer effectively contain him. I, who lack the ability to dodge, will have to face Hanover's attacks directly. But now I don't have to go to great lengths to distance myself from Hanover. I can't fight back, but I can call back the old man's clone and Ebola to protect me closely. The old man's clone has performed a magic similar to "sacrifice", sharing most of the damage I suffered. At the same time, he and Ebola rely on their relatively fast movement speed to insert themselves between Hanover and me at critical moments, and use their bodies to take the attack on my behalf. Anyway, Ibola is a pet and has the ability to "resurrect after a disaster". The dead old man's clone will not be easily killed by Hanover. I also have Taotao as a mount, and my ability to dodge attacks is far superior to other undead wizards who cannot use skills. Therefore, although the situation is extremely passive, I was forced by Hanover to have no ability to fight back. For a while, I was in danger and my body was injured one after another. It seemed that I might encounter an accident at any time, but I still persisted tenaciously and survived the crisis again and again. I did not become a victim of Hanover.
Probably because he consumed a lot of mental energy in the attack, Hanover's "Possession of the Miracle of Light" did not last for fifteen minutes. When Michael's clone left his body, "God's Domain" collapsed in an instant, sending Hanover and me and a group of undead subordinates back to the Cathedral of Light. This was the good opportunity for the counterattack I had been waiting for for a long time, and I naturally could not miss it. I immediately commanded Ebola to rush forward and entangle Hanover to death. However, the dead old man's clone did not rush over to attack Hanover, but rushed directly to a group of level nine light NPCs led by an elite-level cardinal near the twelve-winged golden angel statue guarding the deepest part of the church. They formed a formation and used the function of the twelve-winged golden angel statue to cast spells quickly. Not only could they launch the light magic circle in the church to attack from a super long distance, but they could also quickly replenish Hanover's exhausted mental energy in a very short time, allowing him to cast "Possession of the Miracle of Light" again, which would turn into a tangled battle again. As the main attacker, our resistance alliance is extremely disadvantageous because we don't have much time. With the help of the terrain, even if the old man's clone and Ibola join forces, I am not sure that I can kill Hanover in the remaining three to five minutes. As long as he is still alive, he can quickly recover with the help of the light magic. It is not the best tactic to suppress him alone. The main purpose of our operation is to successfully destroy this Cathedral of Light, not to kill Hanover who came to help. Therefore, I just arranged Ibola to entangle Hanover who has no mental power. However, the strongest combat power, the old man's clone, was transferred to attack the group of cardinals in front of the twelve-winged golden angel statue. As long as they are suppressed, there is no way to quickly replenish Hanover's mental power, or even strive to break through their formation and destroy their overall defense. Not only can it effectively curb Hanover's counterattack, but it can also help other companions better control the situation in the church and gain a greater advantage. Win the final victory earlier and complete the mission of destroying the Cathedral of Light.
With the help of scattered cardinals' spiritual power replenished by the magic array of light, Hanover has recovered a certain attack ability, but the main supply source has been cut off by the crazy attack of the old man's clone. It is temporarily impossible to use the "Possession of the Miracle of Light" again. He can only summon one of the four holy angels to resist the attack of Ibola, but he was attacked by the three of the blood-sucking Fang Emperor, Heinrich and Haishar, and he has been unable to get rid of their entanglement. It directly threatens me. The old man's clone showed his divine power and attacked the group of cardinals who formed a formation, forcing them to deal with it with all their strength. They had no time and ability to replenish Hanover's spiritual power. If it were not for the formation, especially the twelve-winged golden angel statue, which greatly enhanced their attack and defense capabilities. I am afraid that they would have been broken and dispersed by the old man's clone. Even so, there were occasional flaws in the attack, and some level nine light NPCs who broke away from the protection of the formation suffered from the dead old man's clones. Especially without the support of these cardinals, other companions of the resistance alliance took advantage of the situation and launched a more fierce attack. The originally stalemate situation immediately began to tilt towards the main attack of the resistance alliance, and they soon took the initiative. The situation was developing in a direction that was increasingly favorable to us.
The dead old man's clone attacked wildly for four or five minutes. Although it caused considerable trouble to those level nine light NPCs, it was ultimately unable to completely destroy the formation set up with the help of the twelve-winged golden angel statue before the summoning time limit expired. Without his harassment, the elite cardinal who presided over the formation immediately began to cast a spell to replenish Hanover, who was being entangled by Ibola and the others, with his mental power. He wanted to help him cast the "Possession of the Miracle of Light" once again as soon as possible. Unfortunately, under the destruction of the dead old man's clone, the formation had been disrupted. Judging from the intensity of the white light shot at Hanover's body, it was obviously dimmer than in its heyday. The efficiency of mental power replenishment should not be very good. It would be difficult to replenish Hanover's mental power within at least three to five times. Although this result did not fully meet my expectations, it was still pretty good. There was still a chance to suppress Hanover. On the one hand, I ordered Ibola, the combined Vampire Fang Emperor and several other capable subordinates to increase the intensity of attacks on Hanover who was possessed by one of the four holy angels. I was willing to fight to the death and force him to constantly move and change positions, making it impossible for the cardinal who launched the ultra-long-distance replenishment magic to lock on his exact position in the shortest time, further reducing the efficiency of replenishing mental power. At the same time, while I was not under too much threat, I hurriedly activated the "Touch of Death" to start replenishing mental power, striving to replenish mental power before Hanover, and perform the "Dinner of Death" to suppress the counterattack of the light NPCs.
After another two minutes of stalemate, Hanover was hit by several white lights. I estimated that Hanover was about to replenish his mental power. I didn't dare to wait any longer. I stopped activating the "Touch of Death" and absorbed 40% of the mental power stored in the two "Magic Storage Rings". I took the initiative and performed the "Death's Dinner" in front of Hanover, summoning the dead old man's clone, and continued to attack the group of level nine light NPCs in formation, helping other companions maintain their advantages and further expand the results of the battle in order to end the battle as soon as possible. Hanover finally replenished his mental power and re-activated the "Possession of the Miracle of Light", but because of the restrictions that he could not take the initiative to attack the players participating in the battle on our side, he was controlled by me with the same tactics and could not directly threaten me in a short time and stop my killing of other light NPCs. Although he himself was not in danger of death, the entire battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to the Church of Light, and the fate of being completely destroyed was foreseeable.
