Chapter 988: Archery
The battle was simply a pleasure for Garl. Not only did he not have to exert any effort, he could also constantly increase his strength by devouring the infantry troops. After devouring more than 10 of them, Garl even smacked his lips revoltingly and hiccuped ungracefully.
“Disgusting, you disgusting bastard, do those tin cans even taste like anything!?” Angelano mocked rudely when he saw Garl stealing the limelight during the battle.
Faced with Angelano’s mocking, Garl naturally did not tolerate it. While controlling the magic spells cast by the enemies by devouring them, he retorted in a dull and low voice, “Shut up, you stinky dwarf. Even if you jump into my mouth yourself, I won’t devour you, because you’re disgusting.”
“Oh please, if you have what it takes, let’s have a contest. Let’s see if you’re going to devour me or I’m going to beat you up, you ugly fellow!” Although Angelano possessed an excellent suit of armor to protect him, he was still carefully hiding in the team of the Tower of Dusk and stomping his feet while cursing at Garl.
Among the members of the entire expedition, only Angelano and Garl had the time to argue with each other. The others were all frowning and feeling troubled because the enemies that they were facing at this moment were not just those human troops, but also others like the heavily armored cavalry, infantry troops, and mages. The enemies of various professions who were in different forms were also emerging from those floating specks of light.
With a loud dragon roar, a group of Dragon Knights quickly expanded and emerged from the specks of light. The wyrms that they were mounting were obviously hybrids, but they still gave the people a great shock when they flew up into the sky around the expedition in a formation. The knights on the wyrms were also wearing heavy armor and raising their dragon spears that were each nearly 10 meters long. They were all emitting strong waves of power.
The Dragon Knights first spat some flaming dragon breath attacks at the expedition before extending their long spears and charging towards them. The Alchemy Colossuses that were standing around the expedition naturally became the priority target of the Dragon Knights. The two parties soon collided violently.
Legend had it that the Alchemy Colossuses were the best weapons for killing dragons. Unfortunately, that was not referring to the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom. Although the Rotterdam Kingdom had researched, developed, and improved Alchemy Colossuses for thousands of years, their Alchemy Colossuses were far inferior to the Titan-level Alchemy Colossuses like Angelano’s. They did not have to think at all. Being able to make their Alchemy Colossuses reach the Legendary-level was already very hard to come by.
Clearly, those who could become Dragon Knights were also the powerhouses of that world. Their nearly 10-meter-long spears were engulfed in a layer of combat energy, and with just one dive, several Alchemy Colossuses that were attempting to dodge were stabbed in their chests. They managed to stab directly at the spots where the metallurgists were, though it was unclear if it was because the Dragon Knights understood the Alchemy Colossuses well or simply thought of them as some sort of creatures.
Before the expedition could retaliate, the wyrms flapped their fleshy wings and spat dragon breath in unison at close range towards the expedition. By the time the expedition resisted the dragon breath, and was about to launch a counterattack against the Dragon Knights, the latter had already flown into the sky again, and began flying in circles, searching for a new target once again.
“Hurry up and help, or we’ll all be finished!” Seeing that the Alchemy Colossuses were damaged again, Donald yelled at the expedition again in anger. The Alchemy Colossuses were the greatest reliance of the Rotterdam Kingdom’s team, but now they were completely destroyed in one go. Hence, it was a huge blow to the Rotterdam Kingdom’s team. However, there was nothing they could do, since the characteristics of the Alchemy Colossuses had already decided that they had to remain in the periphery of the team and sustain the attacks. They couldn’t possibly hide among the expedition team.
Of course, the people of the expedition also knew that regardless of how useless the Alchemy Colossuses were, such a battle was inevitable. At least, that would prevent the mages from fighting the enemies head-on.
At this moment, Connoris of the Tower of Dusk’s team had already begun to show his prowess. He swung his Eternal Frost Blade that was shining with silver light at the Dragon Knights in the sky. A large Space Blade appeared out of nowhere in front of a Dragon Knight. Before the Dragon Knight could react, his back was instantly cut in half before falling like a meteor into the formation of the heavily armored infantry.
With his perfect body, Connoris would be able to remain undefeated even in a fight with ordinary Sanctuary powerhouses. Although his power was not enough for him to join the battle between Lin Li and the Immortal King’s incarnation, he was still strong enough to deal with the enemies that were attacking the expedition.
Connoris’ attack seemed to have caused the Dragon Knights to be wary of him, and thus they reduced their dive attacks. Instead, they remained in the sky and shrouded the team in dragon breath. However, that was nothing to Connoris. The power of the Eternal Frost Blade could almost make the range of the attack negligible. Rays of Space Blade light managed to slash the wyrms and Dragon Knights.
Of course, it was certainly unlikely for them to change the dynamics of the battlefield with Connoris’ power alone. The other Legendary powerhouses of the expedition had also joined the battle.
Ujfalusi summoned the Tide of Death, and a large number of Undead creatures poured out to attack the enemies by outnumbering them. Although the Undead creatures were not capable enough, they could still form a strong force when a large number of them united. Most importantly, Ujfalusi’s power improved again in the Undead World, and with the support of the massive mana that was at the peak Legendary-level, endless Undead creatures surged out from the Tide of Death.
On the other hand, the Vampire Norfeller snuck out of the expedition team, and entered the enemy’s ranks where he began to set out to kill the enemy commanders. A Legendary-level Assassin was an absolute nightmare for the enemy, and even those of other professions at the same level were rarely able to escape his assassination.
Unfortunately, the enemies were not an ordinary army. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago due to the assassination of their commanders. However, their current enemies were almost indifferent to the death of their officers. They even began to take advantage of this by trying to lay traps to hold Norfeller back.
The Crimson Humerus Wyrm, the Lord of Nightmares, and the Demon Gordon had also already gone on a killing spree against the enemy. The Crimson Humerus Wyrm’s dragon breath formed a trench of flame through the enemy’s camp. The Lord of Nightmares’ Mind Control attacks had finally come in handy again. He was constantly controlling the enemies to decapitate their comrades.
Such a battle was truly meant for Demon Gordon, whose body was made up of rare magical metals. The attacks launched by the enemy Warriors could not break through Gordon’s defenses at all. Gordon transformed his arms into giant scythes, and killed numerous enemies at once.
Compared to the Tower of Dusk’s team that was launching numerous attacks from all sides, the situation that the teams from the Brilliance Shrine and the Rotterdam Kingdom were facing was less ideal. Almost all the Alchemy Colossuses had been defeated by the Dragon Knights. If not for Connoris, they would probably have all been destroyed by the Dragon Knights after a few waves of attacks.
As for the Holy Light Knights of the Brilliance Shrine’s team, they were still having difficulties holding out against the enemy’s heavily armored knights despite having the enhancement of the Holy Light Battle Song and the support of the Holy Light Priests. Although the Holy Light Knights’ power had been strengthened by the Power of Light, they were still facing a large number of heavily armored cavalry from the opposing side.
A large colony of ants would be enough to bite an elephant to death. No matter how incompetent the enemy’s heavily armored cavalry troops were, they were definitely stronger than ants, and the Holy Light Knights were not strong enough to be considered an elephant, either. Although the Holy Light Knights’ battle damage ratio was more than a dozen to one, the Holy Light Knights lost their advantage because they were outnumbered.
Moreover, the enemies were not just enjoying the numerical advantage, but they were also not inferior to the expedition in terms of quality. Soon, many Legendary powerhouses appeared and began to focus on suppressing the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition. There were Legendary-mages, Legendary Sword Sages, archers, orcs, and Shamans. Although the Legendary powerhouses were not from Anril, their power was definitely not inferior to the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition at all.
Facing such a powerful enemy, none of the Legendary powerhouses of the expedition could slack off. Besides, even if they were just being attacked by the other party, Archbishop Martin and the others had no time to pay attention to the battle in the sky, and could only pray in their hearts that Lin Li would be able to destroy the opponent as soon as possible.
It was fortunate the members of the expedition had no time to pay attention to the battle in the sky, otherwise they would probably have lost the confidence to continue fighting. Lin Li, whom they had pinned their hopes on, was now being suppressed by the Immortal King’s incarnation, and he could no longer be described as just disheveled. After all, there was a difference of three levels between them.
At this moment, the Domain World that Lin Li had formed using the debris of the stars already seemed to have been shattered under the brutal collision with the Immortal King’s incarnation. It looked like it would collapse at any moment. Lin Li’s robe was soaked in blood, and if it were not for his strong willpower, he would have long died under the incarnation’s arrow.
The opponents he had killed in the Endless World in the beginning probably felt the same as he did at this moment! Lin Li never thought that there would be a day when he would be reduced to such a pathetic and disheveled state. However, his enemies could respawn after their deaths in the Endless World—unlike him now. He could not be revived if he died this time.
The incarnation of that Immortal King not only possessed a powerful World Domain, he also had excellent archery skills that were surprisingly the same as the game archery system of the Endless World. Besides, each technique was also thousands of times stronger than that of the Endless World in addition to having the same features.
