CHAPTER 66: CHAPTER 66: THE CALM BEFORE THE SUDDEN STORM

In a repressive environment, a towering palace stood, seeming both abrupt and incredible.

On a high platform inside the palace, one of the ten Demon Kings of the Demon Race, Samael, was sitting.

One hand supported his head, as if he was in deep thought, or perhaps puzzled?

Samael suddenly spoke,

"Keromu, has Father God opened a time-space passage?"

In the originally empty great hall, a ball of black air swirled, revealing a gaunt elder,

"Yes, Your Highness, but it is only a low-level one-way passage. I’ve already sent some low-level demons through it."

Samael suddenly stood up, his wings extending from his back, a powerful aura emanating from him,

"But why do I sense a trace of the Werewolf Race’s presence from it? Weren’t they exterminated by me hundreds of years ago?"

The elder hesitated: "This~"

"You may leave."

"Yes!"

Samael looked up towards the top of the palace, his gaze filled with gloom.

Though hundreds of years had passed, Samael’s impression of the battle with the Werewolf Race remained incredibly vivid.

Samael could never forget that a mere human had managed to kill a Demon Race Priest right before him.

"Rafam Continent, hmph~"

.........

Meanwhile, in the Proud Sanctuary’s stronghold

As the shouts of battle echoed around, everyone inside the stronghold was stunned by the sudden appearance of the massive creature.

At this moment, Lin Yi’s eyes showed an introduction about the creature:

Earth Dragon

Life Value: 2800/2800

Mana: 800/800

Life Link: Transfers all damage the master receives to the Earth Dragon. Damage ratio: 100%, until the summoned creature dies (effective when mounted).

Looking at the massive, grotesque creature with its exposed fangs, Shuai Diao Zha gulped hard,

"This damn thing is excessively cool, isn’t it?"

Everyone looked at Lin Yi, seemingly waiting for an explanation.

Lin Yi contentedly patted the Earth Dragon’s rough and thick muscles,

"This is my summoned creature."

He then mounted it,

System: Life Link activated.

"And my mount!"

"Holy crap!"

Everyone around was shocked.

"Does this game even have mounts?"

"I thought this game didn’t have mounts."

"Oh my god, I can’t help but start imagining riding a flashy mount and galloping across the map, what should I do?"

Seeing the people gathered around him, Lin Yi couldn’t help but say:

"Have you all forgotten there’s a siege battle going on?"

Shuai Diao Zha was startled and turned to run towards the city wall.

"I’m going."

Proud Lord shouted to the players with eyes shining brightly:

"Everyone get back to your positions, we’ll talk after we hold the stronghold!"

The crowd dispersed chaotically.

Proud Lord gave Lin Yi a meaningful look and followed, climbing the city wall.

Now, only Lin Yi was left sitting atop the Earth Dragon, familiarizing himself with operating his mount.

When Lin Yi mounted the Earth Dragon, he could feel a heroic spirit radiating from his body.

To be honest, even Lin Yi, the Reincarnator, was stunned by this amazing creature.

Not to mention its overwhelmingly cool and flashy appearance; just having 2800 Life Value at level 18 was already terrifying.

Now, even the Shield Warriors’ maximum Life Value is probably just barely breaking a thousand.

Seeing the over 300 attack and over 400 defense, Lin Yi could only sigh: Truly worthy of having a trace of Dragon Race blood.

These abnormal attributes are only possessed by those creatures associated with the Dragon Race.

As for the attribute ’Life Link’, there were always rumors before the reincarnation that some special mounts had this attribute;

Though surprised, he wasn’t particularly shocked, even though this was the first time Lin Yi encountered a mount with ’Life Link’.

Aifula, summoned by Lin Yi, traversed time and space to appear before him.

Clearly, Aifula was also shocked by the Earth Dragon beneath Lin Yi, her little mouth gaping wide.

Seeing that Aifula wasn’t affected at all, Lin Yi finally felt relieved.

Indeed, through special means, this Spirit Summoning Technique might become a BUG in his hands.

Listening to the chaotic battle cries outside the stronghold, Lin Yi couldn’t help but think:

Since heaven has gifted me such a grand gift, wouldn’t it be a waste not to use it to entertain the ’guests’?

Lin Yi held the reins, sitting on its back, his gaze straight at the thousands of troops outside the gates; the Earth Dragon took heavy steps, each one seeming to weigh on everyone’s hearts, creating a profound sense of shock.

When something that only existed in myth was brought into ’reality’, the kind of visual impact it had was unimaginable for the average person.

Just as Lin Yi was about to approach the gates, over a hundred warriors guarding the gates instinctively made way.

At this moment, not a single person spoke a word, and apart from respect for the legendary figure Feng Hua, their eyes held nothing but the determination of the slogan ’fight until death, retreat no step’.

Seeing the gate’s Life Value had fallen to a tenth, yet only over 15 minutes had passed in the siege.

The enemy’s level of madness was far beyond anything they had imagined.

At this moment, two extremes formed within the stronghold.

On the city wall:

Mages continuously cast magic downwards, the sound of explosions echoing non-stop.

Under the backdrop of magic, every person’s face was filled with madness.

Because below them, densely packed, were those prepared to destroy the hopes of their Invaders.

Only the opponent’s death could quell this deeply unjust war from its onset.

And below the city wall:

As Lin Yi stood at the gate while riding the Earth Dragon;

Rows of warriors surrounded the gate like an iron wall, their faces full of resolve.

Their silence was because they knew, this moment was just a brief quiet before a storm.

What follows is a contest concerning guild honor, life, and death.

The determination for victory in this battle is evident between the movements and stillness of the crowd.

.........

"Want to kill me? It’s not that easy!"

Luoshen Liunian looked contemptuously at the Thief who was knocked out of stealth by Drunken Ghost,

"Kill him for me!"

The Thief, with the Proud Gaze prefix above his head, was instantly beaten to death by the nearby players after being knocked out of stealth by Drunken Ghost.

Luoshen Liunian looked at the city gate, which had little Life Value left, his face ferocious as he said:

"No one can stop our progress today, whoever comes!"

Suddenly, Luoshen Liunian made a clumsy roll.

"Drunken Ghost!"

A Thief appeared at the spot where Luoshen Liunian had been standing, and Shengshi Drunken Ghost leaped forward:

"Charge!"

"Bang!"

"-84"

The Thief was instantly knocked flying, but Shengshi Drunken Ghost did not pursue to finish him off, instead retreating to Luoshen Liunian’s side.

With previous experiences, everyone roughly understood the opponent’s abilities, and there would naturally be someone to finish off the Thief who got knocked away.

Shengshi Drunken Ghost’s task was to ensure Luoshen Liunian’s safety.

Despite being reluctant, the two had common interests at the moment.

Given Luoshen Liunian’s abilities, Shengshi Drunken Ghost felt it necessary to make some sacrifices.

There had been no less than five attempts at assassination like this, but each one was ’easily’ thwarted.

Seeing the Thief trapped in the crowd and instantly killed, Drunken Ghost sneered:

"A group of sneaky thieves, overestimating themselves."

"Oh~ really?"

A disdainful voice sounded in Shengshi Drunken Ghost’s ear, shocking him:

"Get out here!"

"Shield Strike!"

"Bang!"

"-59"

Seeing the Thief knocked out, Shengshi Drunken Ghost glared angrily:

"Tianshi!"

If memory serves, Wei Xiao from Shengshi was killed by this person.

Luoshen Liunian quickly stopped Drunken Ghost, who was about to go berserk,

"Be careful, don’t fall into their trap, focus on the siege!"

Unlike other Thieves, Tianshi was not instantly killed by the upcoming attacks; relying on his bizarre dodge skills, he successfully entered Stealth again.

At that moment, Luoshen Liunian suddenly had a sense of foreboding,

"Watch out!"

Before everyone could react, a dagger appeared from the void, stabbing fiercely towards...

Shengshi Drunken Ghost!

No one expected that the Thief’s target would be Shengshi Drunken Ghost, one step away from Luoshen Liunian.

Several Warriors preparing to support Luoshen Liunian immediately changed direction to assist.

"Shadow Blade Dance"

"-75"

Stun triggered for one second

"+211"

Due to Shengshi Drunken Ghost’s Charge and Shield Strike skills being on cool-down and not expecting to be the target despite being a tank, he was forced to take the hit head-on.

However, with timely support from a Priest in the rear, his lost Life Value was quickly restored.

After the successful hit, the opponent swiftly blended into the crowd.

Everyone was focused on attacking the city gate, and by the time someone realized they needed to stop the opponent, they had already reentered Stealth through skillful positioning.

Seeing this godly maneuver, everyone was stunned!

Once Shengshi Drunken Ghost’s dizziness wore off, he recalled the fleeting glimpse of the Thief.

"That was~"

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Shengshi Drunken Ghost’s heart.

Before everyone could comprehend the series of changes, a glint of cold light reappeared in their sight,

"Watch out!"

Seeing the dagger aiming at the side of Shengshi Drunken Ghost, the two Shengshi Dynasty Warriors guarding Luoshen Liunian were stunned.

"Shadow Assault"

"-76"

"Backstab"

"-98" Critical Strike~

"Throat Cutting"

"112" Critical Strike~

The two Warriors exchanged glances and instantly decided to support the President!

Noticing the situation, Luoshen Liunian cursed silently, "Idiots,"

"Don’t go, protect me!"

Shengshi Drunken Ghost also realized the problem, roaring in rage:

"Don’t worry about me, he can’t finish me off!"

After a moment of hesitation, the two Warriors turned back immediately.

Just as Luoshen Liunian anticipated that someone would try to take advantage of the gap left by the two Warriors leaving his side,

He never expected a figure to burst out from a group of Mages from the Luoshen Guild, directly displacing another two Warriors who were caught off guard.

By the time Luoshen Liunian realized what was happening, he only felt a chill on his back: It’s over.

"Bone Carving"

"-134" Critical Strike~

Trigger Tearing effect

"Kidney Strike"

"-210" Critical Strike~

"-15"

"Shadow Blade Dance"

"-158" Critical Strike~

"-15"

Instant kill!

From a distance, Shengshi Drunken Ghost saw this scene and let out an enraged roar:

"No!"

At the same time, a loud boom came from the side, and someone exclaimed excitedly:

"The city gate is broken, charge!"

Here’s the last Chapter of today.
