In the Forest of Molten Flames, scorching hot air occasionally erupted from some cave deep underground, then dissipated into the atmosphere.
The temperature here was much higher than in other places, as if one had arrived at the mouth of a volcano. Ordinary trees could not grow here. Only gigantic Cycads with dense foliage blocked out the sky.
It was said that magma frequently flowed beneath the Forest of Molten Flames, ready to erupt at any time.
The monsters that spawned here were lava elementals, level twenty creatures with high defense and massive health pools. They also dealt fire damage during melee attacks. However, due to their slow movement speed and lack of ranged attacks, combined with their generous experience rewards, they made this place a paradise for spellcasters leveling up.
Lava elementals were constructed entirely of stone, standing two yards tall, moving like tanks.
There were over twenty lava elementals spawning here simultaneously, with over a hundred players from the Heaven’s Might scattered around. Warriors formed a human wall while the mages behind them hurled spells in brilliant arcs, landing on the lava elementals with explosive effects.
A barrage of magic instantly killed over a dozen lava elementals.
After a while, another wave of spells came in, swiftly obliterating the remaining lava elementals.
Mages who had exhausted their mana sat in small groups to recover, while those with minimal mana depletion prepared to continue casting.
After a short while, about five or six seconds later, another group of over twenty lava elementals spawned in the center of the clearing.
The respawn rate of lava elementals here was truly astonishing!
Heaven’s Might certainly had its share of insightful individuals who could identify such a prime spot for leveling and farming monsters.
Five mana-depleted mages sat together chatting, positioned at the very back of the group, far from the battlefield.
“Boss Birdman, some of our Heaven’s Might brothers from the Bullman Tribe asked us to join them. Should we go?” asked a thin, somewhat sleazy-looking arcane mage, turning to the holy mage beside him.
The holy mage known as Birdman shook his head and replied, “Go to the Bullman Tribe? Are you looking to die? Haven’t you seen how Lord Heizhuo has allied with the Empire of Triumph against the Bullman Tribe? Our Heaven’s Might isn’t strong enough, but do you really think the Empire of Triumph is easy prey? The Bullman Tribe is just courting death! Shoutskin, this is something we can only discuss amongst ourselves. Never say such things in front of other guild members.”
The arcane mage called Shoutskin chuckled and said, “I’m not that stupid. Let’s just rest a bit more. We’re getting experience just sitting here anyway.”
They lounged around leisurely, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Nie Yan and Sun quietly approached them, their daggers gleaming coldly in the shadows.
The group of Heaven’s Might players in the distance continued killing monsters at a relaxed pace.
Wufeng, Heibai, Badman, and others had already reached their designated positions according to the plan.
Seeing that all team members were in place, Nie Yan issued a command in the party chat: “Kill!”
The ten of them sprang into action.
Nie Yan lunged at Birdman, the holy mage, his dagger aimed straight at the back of Birdman’s head like a meteor streaking across the sky, executing a stealth strike.
Moving at peak speed, the dagger sliced through the air.
Birdman suddenly sensed something, a thought flashing through his mind: enemy attack!
But before he could even stand up, it was already too late. He took a direct hit to the back of his head, and Nie Yan’s dagger slashed across his throat.
-432! -201!
Birdman fell to the ground!
Several mages panicked and tried to stand up.
Nie Yan turned and attacked another mage, his right dagger delivering a critical strike across one mage’s neck.
-538!
A critical hit! Instant kill!
Another mage fell. Nie Yan’s dagger struck a vital point, piercing the third mage’s chest, followed by a cleave attack. The mage opened his mouth in shock, two damage numbers floated above his head, and he collapsed.
Meanwhile, Sun was no slower. He lunged forward, flipping one mage over, then pounced on another trying to flee, delivering a stealth strike followed by a dagger stab. His blade pierced through the mage’s armor, dropping him to the ground.
From the moment they appeared to the moment they eliminated five mages, Nie Yan and Sun took less than ten seconds. The kills were executed in a flash, swift and decisive.
After completing their task, they quickly vanished into stealth and moved toward other spellcasters, especially the priests!
At the same time, from various directions, Heibai, Wufeng, Bilvsha, and Cui Can Dao Guang charged down from the hilltop, clad in heavy metal armor like massive tanks rolling down.
“Righteous Strike!” Wufeng roared fiercely, his sword sending a mage flying. He followed with a Blazing Strike, his flaming greatsword turning a priest into a flash of light. His sword wielded like an invincible divine weapon, instantly slaying six enemies. No one would have guessed that this usually quiet individual could unleash such terrifying killing intent in combat!
The others were no weaker, cutting down enemies in their path, unstoppable and dominant.
Streams of magical fire erupted against their armor, exploding violently, yet they remained fearless, their momentum unstoppable.
Bilvsha pulled out a mid-tier mana potion from her backpack, drank it, and her mana instantly refilled. She cast a Holy Strike, her greatsword glowing brilliantly, tearing apart a priest. She then cast a Minor Heal and tossed it to Heibai.
Behind them, Daobang Dage Qizi’s healing never ceased, streams of white light landing on their group. Combined with the healing potions they carried, they continued charging forward despite the intense magical bombardment.
Within moments, over twenty enemies had fallen.
Seeing these killing machines, the remaining enemy mages were terrified, fleeing for their lives.
“Enemy attack!”
“It’s the Niu Ren Tribe!”
The Heaven’s Might players shouted, and the warriors who had been surrounding the lava elementals rushed back to protect the mages behind them, charging from the center of the clearing outward.
Charge! Charge!
With the lava elementals no longer blocked, they surged forward, creating chaos. Several lava elementals swung their massive arms, knocking down several mages.
In the center of the clearing, crowds of players scrambled to escape. Mages tried to flee while warriors attempted to break through, with dozens of lava elementals attacking anyone in sight.
On a nearby hilltop, Wudong Qiji cast a Holy Seal followed by a Holy Strike, instantly killing a mage who had run toward them. He turned to Badman beside him and said, “Are you done yet? How come you’ve been charging for so long and still haven’t unleashed it!”
A terrifying surge of flame magic gathered around Badman, causing everyone to pale in fear.
Several mages ran in their direction, but it was unclear whether they were trying to stop Badman or simply fleeing in panic.
Xiachong Yu Bing cast an Arcane Blast, a fireball spell that shot straight toward one of the mages. With a loud explosion, the mage was blown away, instantly killed!
A few Heaven’s Might mages nearby froze in shock, their morale shattered, and they turned and fled, wishing they had two more legs.
Where did these killing machines come from!
Badman was preparing a devastating AoE spell, but at this moment, no one could stop him. The Heaven’s Might players were in complete disarray, unable to focus on Badman on the hilltop. A few alert paladins rushed forward, trying to eliminate Badman, but they were blasted away by spells from Xiachong Yu Bing and Wudong Qiji.
Nie Yan and Sun also eliminated a few players who dared to approach.
“Wufeng, Heibai, quickly retreat!”
“Dao Guang, Bilvsha, quickly retreat!”
Upon receiving the warning, Wufeng, Heibai, and Dao Guang activated Charge and sprinted outward, while Bilvsha activated Unyielding Presence, her speed not lagging behind the three warriors. The four quickly evacuated the battlefield.
At this moment, Badman completed two sets of gestures and incantations. In the sky above the clearing, storm clouds of flame gathered, forming a massive fireball that descended like a giant meteor. With a thunderous boom, it engulfed dozens of Heaven’s Might warriors in the center of the clearing. After the meteor exploded, it shattered into countless fragments, densely covering the surrounding Heaven’s Might players.
As magnificent as a grand fireworks display.
Like flower petals scattering, the fireballs instantly killed over sixty Heaven’s Might players, leaving the battlefield completely cleared.
The raging infernal flames consumed every living being within their reach.
When the flames subsided, only over a dozen Heaven’s Might players remained, stunned as they looked at the center of the clearing.
Nothing remained but a massive crater where the hellfire had struck, the surrounding area scorched black. Over sixty players were gone in an instant, even the two dozen lava elementals reduced to nothingness without a trace.
What a terrifying spell!
If such a spell were used on a battlefield, a single fireball could easily kill six or seven hundred enemies.
Badman’s name turned crimson red, like blood, shocking to behold.
Murder Count: 67!
“Damn, bro, you’re famous now. One fireball made you the talk of the town!” Xiachong Yu Bing laughed.
“What a powerful spell,” Wudong Qiji muttered in amazement. He had never seen the true power of an advanced-level spell before.
The remaining Heaven’s Might players tried to flee, but Nie Yan and his team pursued them relentlessly. Screams echoed as many were killed while attempting to escape. Their speed was no match for Nie Yan and his team at all.
Within two or three minutes, over a hundred Heaven’s Might players were wiped out.
A massacre! Except for Daobang Dage Qizi, everyone else was now red-named!
“How many escaped?” Nie Yan asked.
“Two people!”
“Did you record the video?” Nie Yan turned to Xiachong Yu Bing, asking. Their position offered the best view of the entire battle.
“It’s recorded,” Xiachong Yu Bing nodded.
“Then let’s send a reply to Heaven’s Might and Triumph Empire on the official forums,” Nie Yan said with a cold smile. This would be the most powerful counterattack against Heaven’s Might and Triumph Empire.
Just over a hundred players. This was only the beginning!
