Chapter 428: Light: Devour... A Polished Pearl, Angel Faction’s Last Hope

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A series of unfortunate events led to a desperate situation for Savior. The so-called strongest player of the Demon Faction was inevitably cornered by several rival Champions.

As compared to the previous ambush set up by Apocalypse and Daisywave, the current assault on Savior was far more lethal since it involved Qin Ruo, Violet Orchid, Black Rock, and more than other ten Tier 5 Champions.

Within only a short instance, the part of city walls initially conquered by the Demon Faction had been “mowed” back by Tier 5 Champions from Angel Faction. Those from the Demon Faction were routed by the rejuvenated Angel Faction players as a result of losing the pillar—Without their spiritual leader Savior, the group of Tier 4 Radiant Priest and Champions were no match for the aggressive Tier 5 Champions from the Angel Faction.

The split-second blunder of the invaders thus granted Qin Ruo, Black Rock, Violet Orchid, Judge, and Subjugator a direct path to reach Savior’s landing spot quicker, along with the horde of Explosive Spiders streaming down the city wall.

The golden-colored Poochie acted like a flash and smashed Savior’s Shadow Barrier from way high up the air.

Six claw marks were immediately formed.

Shadow Razors!

The Shadowmancer Shadow Barrier and Ghost Shield shattered at the same time...

The golden body hung in the air for a while, then it split into four clones and positioned around the falling Savior.

“Ha!”

Black Rock had reached within thirty meters to Savior.

He waved his hand while maintaining his forward thrust. “Dragon Spear Burst!”

Roar!

Roar!

Two giant dragons made entirely of the Earth Element roared in fury as they shot out from Black Rock’s hand. Regardless of whether Poochie could finish off Savior in time, Black Rock did not dare to take chance and decided to prey on the ill-fated Savior. Once Savior was eliminated, the danger suppressing the northern wall would also be halved.

At the same time, Qin Ruo who dove down rapidly from above had also just entered the range of thirty meters from Savior. Three Compressed Frost Bullets were released from his palm simultaneously.

The outrageous scene was stuck in the minds of many for a brief moment.

The horde of Explosive Spiders all over the city wall; the more than ten Tier 5 Champions gathered under Savior; the Dragon Spears shot toward the Solarmancer; Poochie which launched Clone Shadow Strike against Savior after shattering his dual defense; as well as Qin Ruo who had closed in to the Demon Faction Champion with three Compressed Frost Bullets.

That scene then turned into an eternity.

To take out the Supreme Champion from the Demon Faction, the Angel Faction used three Divinity-fused Champions, a Tier 5 Priest, and numerous Tier 5 players.

Still, such an endgame set-up that could even destroy a Demigod was nullified!

***

“Die!!!” Savior who had remained silent and motionless on his way down suddenly bellowed furiously!

A whirlpool darker than the night sky promptly appeared before Savior.

It was more eye-catching than Violet Orchid’s Elemental Wave; sharper than Sword of Kesri: Judgment; and unexpectedly chiller than Qin Ruo’s Frozen Realm.

In that instance, the black whirlpool appeared in front of Savior was like an endless nightmare that spread out infinitely.

The three clones just separated from Poochie immediately disappeared as soon as it came in contact with the mysterious whirlpool.

The same fate befell Black Rock’s Dragon Spears. After those spells were absorbed by the dark whirlpool, it distorted irregularly and immediately disintegrated into the simplest form of an element to be devoured by the whirlpool, leaving no trace behind.

Qin Ruo reacted the fastest.

His expression changed as he instantly deflected the direction of the Compressed Frost Bullets. The bullets made a 180-degree U-turn while he raised his altitude flying backward to escape the mysterious pull.

However, he was still a tad too slow.

Compressed Frost Bullets were all caught by the whirlpool and dissipated. Qin Ruo, too, was unable to stop his downward inertia despite flapping his wings hard.

Not very long later, he, together with Black Rock, Slayer’s Heart, and others nearby was engulfed by the dark whirlpool...

***

Poof! Poof!

Soft explosions were heard all around the northern wall.

On top of the city wall, numerous Explosive Spiders under Dinosaurcerer’s control simultaneously flipped over and burst into pieces. Gross remains of carcasses and liquid spilled all over the bricks of the northern wall.

But nobody was paying attention to the disgusting little spiders anymore.

After the dark whirlpool emerged and began to expand, every player from the Angel Faction side shook in fear as they witnessed the horrendous black hole engulf their mighty warriors.

Elements were dispelled wherever the dark whirlpool touched. Not only that, but the whirlpool also seemed to behave like scorching erosive lava. Slayer’s Heart, Subjugator, Judge, as well as Daisywave and Apocalypse who had just been resurrected by Radiant Priest, all had their Elemental and Berserk Shell destroyed as soon as the expanding whirlpool caught up to them. Everyone dragged into the mysterious spell was groaning in agony.

Apocalypse and Daisywave were killed under a second. They were followed by Subjugator, Judge, and Slayer’s Heart.

The dark whirlpool seemed to ignore the player’s defense as their HP dropped insanely quick after impact.

The three warriors fell to their death shortly and each dropped a Dark Gold equipment.

Qin Ruo and Black Rock who were within the spell range could not escape their fates too.

Barrier, then Defensive Shield collapsed consecutively.

The dark whirlpool expanded and deactivated the Angelic Wings.

Black Rock fell!

***

Soon afterward, more than ten Tier 5 Elementalists who were gunning to push back their foes were dealt a heavy blow too. Despite not being within the whirlpool range, their Barriers and Shields were instantly collapsed by the powerful gravitational force.

Once a highly favorable situation for the Angel Faction had now been completely overturned by Savior singlehandedly. The defenders of the city fell from heaven to hell in just a short span of time. Tier 4 Elementalists from the Demon Faction grabbed this golden opportunity and went for the final push.

Distracted, several Tier 5 Champions were bombarded mercilessly by the heavy fire of spells.

***

Equipment, Defensive Skills, and Spells on Angel Faction players were wiped clean wherever the black whirlpool reached.

“How did this happened?” Violet Orchid’s pair of beautiful eyes were now filled only by trauma and disbelief. She found it hard to accept and was rendered speechless seeing the increasing number of Tier 5 Champions lying dead on top of the city wall. ‘What kind of sorcery is this? Dark? Light? A Solarmancer is using a Dark-type Tier 5 AoE Spell? Or is there any other reason? What kind of magic so powerful that could allow Savior, who was on the brink of death, reverse the whole momentum of the fight all by himself?’

Still haunted, those Angel Faction could only see Savior, who was hovering at thirty meters high in the midair looking down coldly at the pile of corpses on the city wall.

‘Devil! A truly wicked devil!’

The dark whirlpool lasted for as long as two seconds.

But that mere two seconds were more than enough to evaporate the advantage just regained by the Angel Faction and push them further to the edge of total defeat.

Without the protection of Defensive Magic, the strength of Tier 5 Champions was brought down close to that of players at the pinnacle of Tier 4. They depended solely on their superior Magic Attack to determinedly block the Demon Faction’s push for the time being.

Being affected by the whirlpool, they had lost their Perception ability as well. So they could not grasp how bad the fight at their back had gone. What they knew was that there was no place to hide, and they certainly could not hide now!

If they backed off now, the entire northern wall would lose the morale to vanquish the Demon Faction for good. The opponent would also have the chance to resurrect the Tier 5 Champions they had struggled to put down just a while ago. Moonrise City would be demolished if that happened!

The only thing they could yearn for now was that some Radiant Priests would rush to their rescue. Even Tier 4 players were desperately needed. They only had to withstand this round of attack and buy themselves some time to recover, then all would be fine.

Or so they thought. What they did not know was that only one man was left standing behind them after the gruesome battle—Savior.

Not a single player from Angel Faction was not frightened by Savior’s devastating ultimate.

‘A group of top Tier 5 Champions was killed instantly, just like that.’

The faces of those from Angel Faction who witnessed the process paled and they stopped their movements altogether. Only despair was left in their shocked minds.

‘That’s the end of it...’

This was when someone on top of the city wall saw a glimmer of light.

***

Under the starless night sky, darkness was the only entity remained after the black whirlpool ravaged across the battlefield. However, out in the vast darkness, a light which was not supposed to be present shone brightly. It was like a polished pearl and glared especially bright near the northern wall.

‘What?’

Violet Orchid, like many others, raised her pale face and looked obsessively at the pair of distant, yet crystal clear and glaring Angelic Wings.

***

“How is that possible?”

Leon happened to watch the entire process of Savior releasing the powerful spell—Light: Devour. As one of the few fortunate enough to have ever come across this spell in the past, Lyon knew very well how horrifying hopeless this ability was to the opponent.

Within two seconds in effect, the spell was capable of breaking down elements, while producing extremely high Burn and Devouring Damage to the opponent player by neglecting all sort of defense.

This spell was as powerful as a quadruple attack!

Forget about a group of ordinary Tier 5 Champions. Even those as strong as Death Jesus would choose to evade rather than confront this over-powerful attack head-on. To be more precise, not a single soul would dare to do that and could come out alive at the end of it.

This is because two defense-ignoring Devouring Damage would instantly chew away more than 2000 HP from a player—This is even without taking the Burn Damage into consideration. Thus, it was unimaginable how an Elementalist could compensate for the deficit in health points without any defensive magic.

That’s why this has been Savior’s hidden trump card all this while.

The need to use it after being surrounded in a near-death scenario by a group of ordinary Tier 5 players had already surprised Leon. This spell was initially planned to be used against the like of Scarlet, Netherclaw, or Majestic Hero.

‘But that guy survived the devastation!’

Leon almost collapsed. He could believe someone had actually cheated death after being hit by the spell. What was more impressive was that he managed to stay alive even though this was the first time he encountered the sure-kill (maybe not so after this) spell.

***

Numerous players inside and outside the city noticed Qin Ruo almost at the same time as Leon.

The eyes of Demon Faction players were all filled with doubts and questions. “How?”

“Why is he not affected? Isn’t that a Tier 5 AoE spell? Why were his Angelic Wings not affected??!!” Demon Faction players bemoaned the obscurity of the situation.

***

Angel Faction players reacted the exact opposite. They could care less about how odd this turn of events was. Most importantly, their hope—the hope of retaining the northern wall—was reignited by the miraculous player!

***

The Angelic Wings were retained outside his body when the Elemental Barrier activated passively. That caught Qin Ruo himself by surprise and he went blank for half a second long. Nevertheless, he was quickly brought back to his senses by the loud noise around him. He regrouped and once again dove toward the city wall. He had only one aim, which was the completely defenseless Savior.

Watching the sinking white light, all players, Angel and Demon Faction alike, held their breaths in great anticipation!
