San Tian Liang Jue
Chapter 1440 Gaining Courage, Moving Forward Steadfastly
But everyone had to accept this arrangement, after all... "killing Dou Mo (Fighting Demon)" was something no one else could do.
Moreover, now that the battle had begun, the warriors had no time to dwell on these matters; they were already prepared to fight to the death.
Facing the first, most dense, and most impactful wave of Yong Bing (redundant soldiers), the Royal Army took a breath and prepared to meet the enemy's charge.
However, the collision... did not happen as they expected.
Because a burst of demonic energy rose from the ground, meeting the Yong Bing (redundant soldiers) head-on. After a few seconds of stalemate, the demonic energy actually gained the upper hand and counterattacked.
"Is this all you've got..." the head of the demons muttered as he rose into the air.
In an instant, he opened his arms and inhaled deeply, causing the upper end of the "demonic energy pillar" to expand again, attacking more enemies.
As the strongest in one-on-one combat among the former Four Pillar Gods, the head of the demons lived up to expectations, easily blocking the accumulated impact of the Yong Bing (redundant soldiers) legion with his own strength.
However... this didn't prove anything. Mr. Hanky had done the same thing many times in the past few hours, but it didn't help them win.
The key to this battle was never whether they could withstand the enemy, but how long they could withstand the enemy...
Chi Chi Chi...
Just as the head of the demons was rising, accompanied by a series of energy bursts, two distinct and continuous beams of light shot towards the sky like a torrential rain.
The source of the light was Xiao Ling, wielding [Shi Yue (Moon Slayer)] and [Yun Xing (Meteor Fall)].
Her pair of psionic weapons had unlimited ammo, required no reloading, and could maintain a constant temperature, making them practically like the guns in Contra. At this moment, with enemies everywhere, Xiao Ling didn't even need to aim; she could shoot one down with every shot.
Seeing her actions, many warriors of the Royal Army also reacted. Those monsters with ranged attacks followed suit, firing wildly at the sky, knowing that any shot would be effective.
"Xue Shi Shen (Blood Corpse God)," Ruo Yu suddenly said to the Blood Corpse God, "You should be able to locate those scourges hidden in the cloud of soldiers, right?"
"Are you talking about those tasty-looking guys?" The Blood Corpse God looked up at the sky, his eyes fixed, and said, "Ah... I know the location of each one very well."
"Good, then... you're responsible for the left side of the line, and I'm responsible for the right side," Ruo Yu immediately added.
"Hey, hey..." The Blood Corpse God heard this, looked down at Ruo Yu, "First of all, why should I listen to your orders?" He paused. "Secondly, what line are you talking about? I don't see any..."
Chi Ying—
The sound of the Xuan Yuan Sword being drawn interrupted the Blood Corpse God's words.
Ruo Yu had already made her move the moment she drew her sword, using the [Feng Mo Yi Tian Duan (Demonic Wind Severing the Sky)], pointing her sword at the sky, tearing through the air.
The slash rapidly elongated and extended as it ascended, cutting everything it touched... It cut through the Yong Bing (redundant soldiers), cut through the scourges, and even tore open the dark sky, allowing a ray of sunlight to shine down from the gap it created, forming a white line that divided the sky.
"This is the line," Ruo Yu answered the Blood Corpse God's question as she retracted her move.
"Hmm..." The Blood Corpse God hesitated awkwardly for two seconds, "Okay..."
With that, he stomped his foot and flew into the air, rushing towards the "left side" he was supposed to be responsible for.
Ruo Yu also used the [Goliath's Wings] from her inventory, temporarily gaining the ability to fly, and soared into the air, setting her sights on the scourges on the right side of the white line.
"Mmm, as expected of my people from the Undead Kingdom, all so outstanding," Seeing this, Fu Ling also expressed her feelings with a smug look of "My children are so excellent," muttering to herself.
"Spirit King," Hua Jian came to her side and reminded her, "It's time for us to start too."
"Oh... okay," Fu Ling nodded, thinking to herself, "This child is also very capable."
As she thought this, she placed her hand on Hua Jian's shoulder, and Hua Jian, feeling the surge of Fu Ling's energy, activated her skill...
[Name: Guang Yao Zhi Tang - Gai (Hall of Radiance - Modified)]
[Skill Card Attribute: Active Skill, Permanently Learned]
[Skill Category: Healing]
[Effect: Creates a ground-based magic circle that continuously generates healing energy (cooldown time of forty minutes, requires channeling)]
[Consumption: Loses spirit power proportionally every five seconds, based on the actual range and effect at the time of activation]
[Learning Condition: Healing Specialization A]
[Note: Originally a priest's exclusive spell in the "ragnarok" world, it can heal allies and damage "undead" and "demon" creatures. The modified Hall of Radiance can be driven by any energy, no longer limited to the original divine energy, so it can heal friendly units of any race, and its range and effect can be changed according to the caster's energy intensity. However, the consumption generated by a Hall of Radiance with a large range and strong effect will also increase exponentially.]
As early as when this batch of reinforcements dominated by the Undead Kingdom and the Monster Kingdom's troops had just joined forces, Hua Jian had been preparing for this skill; with the help of Talium, the "sorcerer", this matter was naturally not too difficult.
At this moment, Hua Jian, the Death Knight, and Fu Ling... that is, the Spirit King, had established a temporary magical link, so that Fu Ling could help Hua Jian share the consumption of [Guang Yao Zhi Tang - Gai (Hall of Radiance - Modified)].
Thus, a giant Hall of Radiance large enough to encompass all the Monster Legion's troops was successfully activated at this moment.
Soon, the warriors in the formation clearly felt it—a vast, star-like energy was healing their injuries and restoring their strength every five seconds.
Of course, Dou Mo (Fighting Demon) would not enjoy the effects of this skill... because he was not Hua Jian's "friendly unit"; the system would determine this based on the caster's "perception", so there would be no mistakes.
"Heh... heh heh heh..." Freddy, feeling the power surging within him, couldn't help but laugh, "We can win... we can win! At this rate, I feel like I can fight for another day and night!"
"Howdy~ho!" Mr. Hanky also regained his fighting spirit, and immediately took on the air of a king, shouting loudly, "Everyone feels it, right! Let's charge together while we can!"
As he gave the order, the initial offensive of the Yong Bing (redundant soldiers) legion had almost ceased; the Royal Army's ranged ability users also stopped suppressing and rested briefly, while the other warriors who had recovered most of their health and stamina took the opportunity to follow up and charged towards the battle line that had already moved to the sky.
