The aura in the air could only resist aerial attacks but was powerless against ground troops. Ang Yi Tian Shi (Ang Yi) looked ahead and saw Nie Yan charging in alone, riding on the Shadow Werewolf.
“Damn it, Kuang Zei Nie Yan (Nie Yan) dares to come alone? Does he think our Angel Empire has no one?” Seeing this scene, Ang Yi was overwhelmed with rage. He had been oppressed by Nie Yan for too long, repeatedly. Today, he finally couldn’t take it anymore. “All Baiyuan, attack!”
Thirty Baiyuan charged toward Nie Yan. These massive creatures moved swiftly like tanks. Ang Yi drew back his longbow, placing five golden arrows on the string, and shot them toward Nie Yan.
The five arrows zipped through the air, covering a distance of five hundred yards in a flash.
Nie Yan sneered coldly. Do you think such petty tricks can deal with me? That’s an underestimation.
The Shadow Werewolf leaped, knocking down one of the charging Baiyuan. With one swipe of its claws, blood splattered as the Baiyuan let out a piercing, chilling scream.
Nie Yan glanced at the incoming arrows. Tracking arrows again? They might work on others, but not on me. Tracking arrows were notoriously hard to evade because of their homing capabilities.
He issued a command to Guardian Angel Karenna, who waved her staff and cast a shield spell on Nie Yan.
Ding ding ding—the five arrows struck simultaneously, each causing over a hundred points of damage. Yet, they barely scratched him.
Although the Shadow Werewolf was powerful, it was too slow in eliminating enemies. Nie Yan moved his right hand and summoned the Golden Earth Dragon, the Paladin Lai Fusi, and three Doomsday Guardians. Guardian Angel Karenna waved her staff again, casting blessing spells on the Golden Earth Dragon and Paladin Lai Fusi. Their attributes surged, making them extremely powerful as they began to wreak havoc.
The Golden Earth Dragon charged into the crowd, spewing dragon breath and summoning a blazing meteor that crashed down with a thunderous explosion, igniting the battlefield in flames.
Paladin Lai Fusi activated his Inspire ability, charging forward and instantly felling enemies in his path.
A large group of players fell like harvested wheat. However, those who died quickly rose again as skeletons.
Seeing that his arrows had no effect on Nie Yan while Nie Yan’s summoned creatures turned his players into skeletons, Ang Yi was alarmed and shouted, “Use AoE spells!”
A barrage of magic rained down on Nie Yan’s side, turning the newly risen skeletons into ashes.
Despite Nie Yan’s numerous pets, under the concentrated assault from Angel Empire’s massive player base, they couldn’t last. These weren’t the low-level players he could easily slaughter before; most were now over level 120, with formidable combat power. At the cost of losing five to six hundred players, they managed to take down the Doomsday Guardians, Golden Earth Dragon, and Paladin Lai Fusi. However, they struggled against the Shadow Werewolf. Its health drained slowly, and its unpredictable movements made it hard to target effectively. Each swipe of its claws claimed several lives. The Baiyuans charged back and forth but couldn’t surround it.
Meanwhile, Nie Yan, who had been riding the Shadow Werewolf, had mysteriously vanished. Yet every time he reappeared, several people fell dead. If not for Ang Yi hiding among the crowd with many players as cover, he might have already been lying dead.
Since his rebirth, Nie Yan had continuously sought powerful gear to enhance his strength. With his current equipment, he could easily dominate the world, let alone someone like Ang Yi.
In his previous life, players like Ang Yi, Tian Xie, and Lie Yan were heroes among players, top-tier experts. But in this life, compared to Nie Yan, they were like fireflies against the moonlight, unable to even reach his feet. If they fought, they probably couldn’t withstand a single move. This was a real gap in strength.
Nie Yan’s victories rapidly expanded. Shui Se Yantou’s Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon also charged in. Soon, Angel Empire and Century Syndicate players witnessed the terrifying might of this level 200 mutated lord. Their attacks were mere tickles to the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon. It charged at the remaining Ironclad Catapults of Angel Empire, smashing one with a single swipe, sending wooden splinters flying as the entire catapult disintegrated.
One after another, the Ironclad Catapults fell. Angel Empire and Century Syndicate players tried to intercept the Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon, only to realize how naive their attempt was. The Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon completely ignored their attacks. Warriors blocking its path were simply swatted away.
Nie Yan and Shui Se Yantou’s victories expanded rapidly. Behind them, the players of Niu Ren Tribe charged forward. Despite heavy losses from the Stone Giants’ self-destructs, the Niu Ren Tribe players remained spirited. Angel Empire and Century Syndicate players were in chaos, unable to mount effective resistance, retreating in disarray. Especially the Ironclad Catapults, quickly overwhelmed by the relentless assault from Niu Ren Tribe.
Ang Yi hadn’t expected his forces to collapse so quickly. Mainly due to Nie Yan’s Shadow Werewolf and Shui Se Yantou’s Purple-Eyed Earth Dragon charging too fiercely, shattering their formations. Although he still had over a thousand Stone Giants, using them carelessly would only cause self-damage if they exploded among their own ranks. Unlike the self-destructing Wind Drakes, which were more agile flyers, Stone Giants required careful control. That’s why Ang Yi ordered them to charge at the beginning. Once the battle turned chaotic, the Stone Giants became useless.
Given the current situation, Angel Empire and Century Syndicate couldn’t withstand Niu Ren Tribe’s offensive. Complete defeat seemed inevitable within minutes.
Over fifty thousand troops had been reduced to seven or eight thousand in moments. Ang Yi’s heart sank. He realized he had to use his last resort.
“Li Yan, have them summon their necromancer creatures!” Ang Yi said grimly. This was his final gamble! Continuing the fight would wipe out Angel Empire and Century Syndicate’s elite.
“Understood!” Li Yan nodded and immediately issued the command.
Noticing that Angel Empire and Century Syndicate’s resistance wasn’t as fierce as expected, Niu Ren Tribe players gained momentum, pushing forward aggressively and leaving a trail of corpses. Seeing the favorable situation, Nie Yan decided to seize the opportunity and wipe out Angel Empire and Century Syndicate completely.
“Brothers, push forward and kill them all!” Nie Yan commanded in the party chat.
The aura defense Angel Empire had painstakingly erected in the sky was now crumbling. Suddenly, a massive flying creature descended from the sky—the Dark Winged Dragon, Nie Yan’s mount, followed closely by his Ghost Dragon. The two flying mounts charged into the Angel Empire and Century Syndicate players, causing waves of panic and cries.
“Dao Guang, Lei Su, cover me!” Nie Yan said in the party chat. He surveyed the battlefield, littered with corpses—an excellent opportunity. He remembered a scroll of Apocalyptic Cataclysm in his inventory, which could resurrect all corpses within a 3000-yard radius under his control, their stats at 120% of their former selves. The incantation required 60 seconds—perfect for the situation.
Even with his immense strength, his killing potential was limited. But if he summoned a massive horde of skeletons, the outcome would be different.
Nie Yan unfurled the Apocalyptic Cataclysm scroll. A chilling aura immediately emanated from it, sending a bone-deep chill through everyone nearby.
Begin! Apocalyptic Cataclysm!
Nie Yan started chanting the spell. The Shadow Werewolf patrolled around him, immediately eliminating any enemy players approaching. Cui Can Dao Guang, Lei Su, Leng Ao Ying, and three others rushed to Nie Yan’s side to protect him. With these five, Angel Empire and Century Syndicate players couldn’t get near.
From his position in the distant crowd, Ang Yi, using his archer’s long-range vision, saw Nie Yan unfurling a scroll. Seeing players surrounding Nie Yan to protect him, he immediately sensed danger. With Cui Can Dao Guang and others guarding, there was no way their players could interrupt Nie Yan.
“Use small AoE curses on them! Hurry! If you don’t have small AoE curses, use large AoE curses!” Ang Yi ordered. His calmness was gone. Small AoE curses required only about ten seconds of preparation time—perhaps enough to disrupt Nie Yan’s spell. For mages without small AoE curses, Ang Yi wanted them to use large AoE curses, even if it meant mutual destruction.
“Boss Angel, there are many of our people up front!” a nearby mage protested.
“Never mind that! Use the curses!” Ang Yi commanded grimly.
Five top-tier class mages heard Ang Yi’s words, gritted their teeth, quickly scattered, and hid among the crowd to begin chanting their curse spells. They had all heard Ang Yi’s order—even if it meant mutual destruction.
Just as their curse spells began to form, blood splattered. They looked ahead in disbelief, unable to comprehend how they had been instantly killed the moment they started casting.
Before their eyes flashed figures—Sun, Ying Sha, Wang Zhe Tian Xia, Xiao Rong Bu Shi Wei Wo, Yi Chui Ding Qing—each one among Niu Ren Tribe’s top thieves.
Sun and others had been watching these magisters for a long time, but they remained undetected until they prepared to cast their curses. At that moment, Sun and others struck. The magisters, mid-casting, were completely unguarded. Their protectors, also unaware, were instantly killed by Sun and others in one strike.
