......

    Six top-notch Godlike Players and Maverick Gods surrounded Shin and Cloe. They had a Tier 3 Blade Demon, a Tier 3 Guardian Knight, a Tier 3 Beastman Warlord, a Tier 3 Executioner, a Tier 3 Shadow Blade, and a Tier 3 Moonlight Sword.

    Each of these godly experts was famed for their respective styles and impossible achievements. It was clear that this was going to be a hard battle even for Shin and Cloe, who were at the monstrous level of their own.

    "There is only a bit of time before the duration of his domain skills ends. We can just hold out until then, and we will have a much easier time," said Arlo as he lazily put one of his swords on his shoulder.

    "Tsk! There is no need to wait. That is for cowards! Let''s take them down now and get this over with," said Tyrone as he slammed his sword and shield against each other.

    "I like what you just said for the first time! Let''s fight them head-on!" nodded Bloodflame as his burning fighting spirit blazed even more.

    Mamba shook his head as he refuted. "Idiot! Is getting humiliated once not enough? Get your head together. If beating you up is not enough, then you can go ahead and let him beat you a bit more."

    Oblivion, on the other hand, impatiently rolled his eyes at them as he asked. "Are we going to fight or just argue with each other? I''m leaving if it is the latter."

    Drex nodded his head, agreeing with what Oblivion had said. "Shall we go? This is getting pointless away."

    While the group surrounding them were arguing with one another, Shin and Cloe were already preparing their next course of action.

    Cloe waved her holy staff and cast a series of buffs to Shin, further enhancing his already broken stats.

    Boom!

    The pressure that he was passively emitting just got even stronger, making the six turn their gaze at him at the same time. They looked at him with wariness, fully understanding that this was not going to be an easy battle.

    Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

    Seeing that Cloe had quickly kneeled on the ground and started praying to prepare for a large-scale holy spell, the three assassins quickly made their moves, planning to stop her.

    They could instantly tell that it was a powerful spell that could threaten the six of them, so they had to stop her from activating that spell.

    The other trio understood their thoughts as well, so they coordinated with them, planning to attack Shin from a different angle so that he could not help Cloe.

    Surrounded, Shin knew that it was going to be a little tricky to stop all six of them alone. After all, each of these guys was a powerful expert, so ordinary means would most likely be ineffective against them.

    "Talking about numbers, huh? I have that as well!" he mumbled as he made his move.

    ''Equipment Skill (Headgear: Nephilim''s Gemini Mask): Spirit Release + Spirit Fusion''

    ''Phantom Swordsman Skill: Phantom Apparition''

    But despite having the advantage, Shin did not press further as he knew his current priority. He had to focus on protecting Cloe rather than pushing himself to take all these guys at once.

    Due to him only taking on a defensive stance, the six guys were having a hard time advancing even with the help of their respective tricks.

    Shin poured everything he had into defense, which made it hard for them to find a way to stop Cloe from finishing her holy spell.

    Due to that, the six shifted their focus away from her to Shin and his clones. They grouped themselves into two while fighting Shin and his clones.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    This gave Shin some pressure as he could tell that the six wanted to eliminate him rather than Cloe this time. The six were even focusing on targeting him rather than his clones as they understood that these overpowered clones would just disappear once the original body was killed.

    But it was easier to say than done as Shin was utilizing almost everything he had when fighting them.

    Moreover, Shin also knew that he only had to hold them for a while as Cloe would finish casting her holy spell soon enough.

    Zong~! Long~ Long~!

    Not long after, Cloe finished casting the spell. She raised her head toward the sky and a brilliant pillar of light suddenly descended, landing on the exact spot where she was praying.

    Boom!

    There was no explosion or a powerful impact upon the descent, but a holy aura immediately swept through the entire battlefield.

    The formation that sealed all the entrances and exists from this place was further enhanced by her holy spell. Everyone marked as enemies suffered a huge drop in their respective stats while those recognized as allies gained a massive increase in strength and power instead.

    Shin swiftly changed from a defensive stance to an offensive one right after gaining a huge boost in stats and started the counterattack.

    At the same time, Cloe coordinated well as she started casting one spell after another to assist Shin.

    Their teamwork was flawless and did not require any verbal signal as they understood each other''s intention by seeing their respective actions.

    They were communicating with just their actions, which then produced a series of specialized combinations that overwhelmed their opponents.

    Shin''s fearless assault and relentless attacks were complimented by Cloe''s timely assistance and perfect healing.

    The pair worked with perfect teamwork, which resembled a dance in the eyes of those watching the battle from a distance or through the live feed provided by some scouts.

    The perfection of their teamwork did not just look stunning but mesmerizing as well.

    Cloe looked like a conductor, waving her staff and hand to dictate the pace of the battle, while Shin and his clone''s actions resembled those of a great performer, dancing in front of millions of spectators.
