[Dark Night Spirit City, Shrouded In Black Mist]
Soul Manipulator · Zade rode through the clouds and mist, chasing straight after Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
Obviously, even Wang Junjie noticed, "Fuck! This Ghost King is after Brother Mo!"
Upon realizing this, Wang Junjie, who had been frantically running away, suddenly slammed on the brakes.
He shouted at the Chaotic World Guild players around him, "Brothers, stop running! Kill!"
"Protect Brother Mo and Sister-in-law!"
Normally, in a situation like this, unless there was a bounty like "one hundred thousand yuan in compensation for each death," who would be willing to risk their lives for Wang Junjie?
But this time, the moment Wang Junjie shouted, all the Chaotic World Guild players around them stopped without hesitation and turned around.
"Brother Jie, leave this to us. You and the strategist retreat first!"
"Brothers, protect Brother Jie!"
"Kill!"
The Chaotic World players all turned around and charged toward the Ghost King, Soul Manipulator · Zade, without hesitation.
Wang Junjie also did not retreat a single step. He drew his sword with a "shing" and raised it, "Fuck! I'll die with my brothers!"
The Chaotic World Strategist Zhuge could not help saying, "That's not necessary."
"Brother Jie, 'live and die together' would be more accurate."
"Who gives a fuck! Doesn't it mean the same thing?", Wang Junjie looked at Chaotic World Zhuge, "Strategist! You're dying with us too!"
Chaotic World Zhuge: "Brother Jie, do we really have to die?"
"Can't we not die?"
Within the black mist that had gradually risen to their waists, the high-level archers and mages of the Chaotic World Guild quickly took their positions.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! whoosh!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
They locked onto Soul Manipulator · Zade, floating at low altitude, and unleashed a concentrated barrage of attacks.
In an instant, countless arrows burning with flames or covered in frost, along with magic orbs radiating powerful magical energy, rained down toward Soul Manipulator · Zade.
The barrage was fierce.
But without a doubt, every attack that landed on Soul Manipulator · Zade brought up a series of identical numbers.
-1!
-1!
-1!
A group of players who were barely even Level 70.
They already found it difficult to deal with Level 75 monsters.
How could they possibly hurt a Level 100 Ghost King, a member of Oracle's Supreme Race, the Ghost Race?
Instead, the attacks from the Chaotic World Guild players stirred up the resentment that Soul Manipulator · Zade had accumulated over the twenty years he had been trapped.
"Damn humans!"
"I have been imprisoned in the Forbidden Divine Land. For all the humiliation I have suffered over these twenty years, you will pay for it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Soul Manipulator · Zade raised the Staff of the Dead.
In an instant...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless black wraiths drifted out from the tip of the staff and swept toward the crowd on the ground.
Screams rose one after another.
The Chaotic World players were completely unable to withstand the Ghost King's damage and were wiped out one after another.
After easily eliminating these obstacles from the Chaotic World Guild, Soul Manipulator · Zade continued chasing Lin Mo and Ning Xi.
The Ghost King was extremely fast.
And no one could stop it wherever it went.
Seeing that they were about to be caught, realizing that the other party was after him, Lin Mo let go of Ning Xi's hand, "Run! Don't look back!"
After saying that, Lin Mo turned around, took out Phantom World · Wrath of Thunder, locked onto Soul Manipulator · Zade, and launched an attack.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As Divine Descent Seraph · Siya exerted her power, waves of golden halos continued to surround the area, dispelling the black mist while rapidly stacking buffs onto Lin Mo.
With all four buffs fully stacked, he only had to wait for Soul Manipulator · Zade to enter his attack range.
Whoosh! Whoosh! whoosh!
Frost and Snow · Grasp of Extreme Cold!
Tear · Arrow That Breaks the Air!
Judgment · Soul-Eating Arrow!
Three SSS-rank skills bombarded the Ghost King.
Yet they only produced barely noticeable damage above its head...
-13698!
-20112!
-15123!
Although compared with the "-1" forced damage that all the other players present could only deal, Lin Mo being able to deal five-digit damage was already far beyond the norm.
But for a Level 100 Ghost King, this kind of damage was completely insignificant.
Even though Lin Mo had mentally prepared himself for this, seeing the damage still left him deeply disappointed, "It's so damn tanky!"
One had to know: this damage was dealt under the 300% attack power boost from the SSS-rank magic scroll Frenzied Assault · War Stomp.
Without the magic scroll's boost, with Lin Mo's base attack power, he probably could only deal 1 point of forced damage to the Ghost King Soul Manipulator · Zade, failing to penetrate its defenses.
Just then...
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
While Soul Manipulator · Zade was feeling smug in the face of Lin Mo's ineffective attacks, seemingly even mocking him, another series of powerful spells struck its body.
-53698!
-55469!
-54449!
Lin Mo looked back and discovered that the attacker was Ning Xi.
Whether it was defense or resistance, the Ghost King, whose stats were almost equivalent to those of a Level 100 tier-8 BOSS, was clearly not something that the current Level 79 Lin Mo and Level 80 Ning Xi could deal with.
Even Ning Xi, who had a full set of six-tier all-gold Yama equipment and the SSS-rank talent Tenfold Damage Amplification, could only scratch Soul Manipulator · Zade.
But that was not what Lin Mo was thinking about right now.
"Xiao Xi? Why didn't you leave? Go!"
"Do you want me to leave you behind and escape by myself?", Ning Xi said, "Big Brother Lin Mo, I can't do that."
"Kekekekek...."
Soul Manipulator · Zade let out a chilling laugh, "What a touching pair of lovers."
"In that case, this king will grant your wish and let you die together!"
As he spoke, Soul Manipulator · Zade raised the Staff of the Dead high into the air.
At the same time, he began chanting some strange incantation.
The next moment, dark clouds pressed down over Dark Night Spirit City, and thunder rolled.
The immense pressure made every player currently inside Dark Night Spirit City feel an intense threat.
Once the spell was completed, "Humans, all of you can go die!"
With a roar from Soul Manipulator · Zade, the instant he swung his staff...
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless bolts of heavenly lightning struck down from the floating black clouds, covering a large area around Soul Manipulator · Zade.
The enormous damage of five to six hundred thousand instantly killed all the players from the five major guilds within the attack range, without a single survivor.
-246535!
-244444!
-243698!
Even Black Gold · Zhu Ganglie, who had 60% final damage reduction, could not withstand such damage.
He was the first to sacrifice himself to protect his master.
The Heavenly Bewitchment Fox Race Empress · Ah Li and Divine Descent Seraph · Siya were also killed one after another.
Faced with Soul Manipulator · Zade's wide-area AOE attack that was impossible to evade, Lin Mo's first reaction was to pull Ning Xi into his arms and use his own body to shield her from the heavenly lightning.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Until bolt after bolt of heavenly lightning pierced through both their bodies at the same time.
The extremely high damage could not be resisted.
Their HP bars were rapidly emptied.
Divine Descent Seraph · Siya's ressurection mark activated.
Lin Mo and Ning Xi were instantly killed.
They turned into white lights.
Not far away, seeing this scene, Ji Ningshuang could not contain her delight, "This Level 100 Ghost King really is strong enough! Even Rulebound and Liuli can't deal with it."
"They've been killed. Next, the Death Seal effect will trigger and revive them on the spot, and they'll continue to be killed."
"Until they're completely killed back to Level 0."
"Rulebound, you killed me back to Level 0 and ruined me. Now, it's finally your turn to experience what it feels like to be ruined!"
As she spoke, just as Ji Ningshuang waited expectantly for Lin Mo and Ning Xi to revive on the spot, she suddenly discovered... after the white lights from their deaths flew away, they did not fly back.
The smile on Ji Ningshuang's face abruptly froze, and she asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
"Where are Rulebound and Liuli?"
"Why didn't they trigger resurrection on the spot?"
