Chapter 986: Absolute Force

Nie Yan returned to Aukland City and found it in chaos. Countless players were rushing toward the city walls as chaos erupted within the city, where some Void creatures had appeared. These creatures floated in the air like enormous ghosts, with sharp claws and teeth, and their attacks were incredibly powerful. They were wreaking havoc, and the players of the Bull Tribe were continuously mobilizing large groups to fight against these Void creatures.

A Void Walker moved through the city, resisting the heavy magical bombardment, crashing into and collapsing building after building.

Although the players below were in disarray, they still managed to organize a relatively effective resistance.

“Wizards, move to the left and use the houses for cover while maintaining your damage output! Warriors, quickly block off the left side!” a priest from the Bull Tribe shouted loudly. Under his command, the players below managed a decent resistance.

Wave after wave of warriors charged toward the Void Walker, while dense magical attacks landed on it, exploding with loud booming sounds.

A level 200 demonized lord-class creature was indeed a formidable opponent for ordinary players, but with so many players present, they could still overwhelm it through sheer numbers.

The Void Walker roared continuously, destroying building after building.

Seeing the Void Walker rampantly destroying the city, Nie Yan’s expression darkened. Aukland City was a place he had built with immense effort and expenditure.

Nie Yan suddenly vanished, reappearing dozens of yards away moments later. With Zennarde’s Sword in hand, he slashed downward, and damage numbers floated above the Void Walker’s head. Within just three minutes, the Void Walker collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

Glancing at his experience bar, he saw only a slight increase. Without bothering to look at the loot on the ground, Nie Yan swiftly moved on to other parts of Aukland City.

The attacking players stood in stunned silence. They had been attacking for a long time, barely reducing the Void Walker’s health to around 70%, yet in a short moment, a single figure appeared, flashing rapidly, and the Void Walker was defeated.

“That person is… Boss Nie Yan!” the priest who was commanding the battle exclaimed in delight as he watched Nie Yan’s retreating figure, “It’s definitely Boss Nie Yan!”

The Bull Tribe players were all extremely excited.

Players from other guilds stared in awe at the direction Nie Yan had disappeared to. Was that the infamous rogue Nie Yan? How powerful! This was their first time witnessing Nie Yan in action. A level 200 demonized lord-class monster was utterly crushed under Zennarde’s Sword.

Nie Yan rushed around Aukland City, helping put out fires. During this time, he met up with Cui Can Dao Guang and others, who were also working hard to eliminate the Void creatures within the city.

“Nie Yan, the east gate needs reinforcements. I’ll go west with Shuise,” Cui Can Dao Guang urgently said in the party chat.

“Alright,” Nie Yan replied and swiftly dashed away.

At the east gate of Aukland City, hundreds of thousands of Bull Tribe players were counterattacking the Void creatures outside the city walls, with arrow towers and catapults firing at full capacity.

Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan was in charge of commanding this area. Looking outward, he saw an endless sea of Void creatures, including numerous high-level demonized lords. Their mages had already unleashed over sixty high-level spells, killing some of the creatures, but countless more kept coming. Especially the demonized lords, which were particularly resilient, their numbers continuously increasing. They relentlessly attacked the city walls, which were already on the verge of collapse.

“Boss Huai Dan, we can’t hold on any longer!” some players shouted anxiously.

“Send three archmages who haven’t used their ultimate spells yet. We’ll continue with three more rounds of ultimate spells!” Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan ordered solemnly.

A level 220 demonized lord-class Void Hunter swung its massive hand, causing a thunderous explosion on the city wall. Dozens of Bull Tribe players were sent flying.

Many players had already died multiple times, but upon resurrection, they immediately returned to continue defending the walls. Due to the extensive damage, the walls were now visibly unstable.

The Bull Tribe players were anxious. If they could no longer hold the walls, they would have to retreat into Aukland City for defense, which would inevitably lead to significant destruction.

Just then, seven earth dragon creatures suddenly appeared behind the city wall.

The Bull Tribe players were momentarily stunned before suddenly realizing something, their eyes lighting up.

A figure swiftly dashed forward, confronting the Void Hunter.

“Huaidan, whichever boss I attack, have everyone focus their firepower on it!” Nie Yan commanded in the party chat.

“Nie Yan Boss!” Seeing Nie Yan, Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan’s frustration vanished instantly. He shouted in the group chat, “Nie Yan Boss is here! Everyone, follow my orders!”

“It’s Nie Yan Boss!”

Everyone’s morale soared. Nie Yan’s arrival greatly inspired the Bull Tribe players.

“Follow Boss Huai Dan’s orders!”

“Follow my damage output!” Sha Bu Si De Huai Dan said solemnly in the party chat.

Nie Yan landed a legendary Backstab skill on the Void Hunter. With a loud explosion, the freezing burst effect slowed the Void Hunter’s movements. Immediately afterward, seven earth dragons unleashed their ultimate spells, followed by countless other magical attacks from the rear, all landing on the Void Hunter.

Tens of thousands of magical attacks!

They continued for a full minute before the Void Hunter let out a mournful roar and collapsed heavily to the ground.

Nie Yan glanced at the Void Hunter’s corpse and noticed something gleaming beneath it—Void Metal!

Nie Yan scooped it up and saw that it was a Void Silver Ore. The loot was impressive, as each piece of Void ore was a treasure.

After defeating the Void Hunter, Nie Yan immediately targeted the next one, rushing forward with a legendary Nightmare Slash.

The Bull Tribe guild’s vault contained only two legendary rogue skill books: Nightmare Slash and Legendary Shadow Vanish, both of which Nie Yan had learned.

Although Nightmare Slash had a smaller attack range compared to Annihilation Slash, its damage was even more devastating, with a shorter cooldown time, making it the best for single-target attacks!

With a loud thud, the Void Hunter took a heavy blow and staggered backward a few steps.

As the Void Hunter prepared to strike Nie Yan with its palm, a swarm of magical attacks, like locusts, came rushing in, instantly engulfing it. The Void Hunter hesitated slightly, and Nie Yan circled behind it, launching another Rend skill.

With another loud explosion, the freezing burst effect activated again!

Under the intense barrage, within about a minute, another Void Hunter fell to the ground.

Besides the Void Hunters targeted by Nie Yan, several level 180 Void Wolves nearby succumbed to the frigid cold emanating from him and fell lifelessly.

Nie Yan had Guardian Angel Kalenna cast Kalenna’s Protection on himself. Although many demonized lords attacked him, they only dealt negligible damage.

The Bull Tribe players were stunned. Despite their best efforts, they hadn’t been able to defeat a single Void Hunter until Nie Yan arrived. Within just two minutes, they had already taken down two Void Hunters. At that moment, Nie Yan seemed like an invincible god in their eyes.

Watching Nie Yan’s unpredictable movements, they couldn’t help but feel awe. When would they ever reach Nie Yan’s level?

They could only maintain their attacks while hiding behind the city walls for cover, while Nie Yan moved freely amidst such terrifying creatures. What incredible strength he possessed!

“Look at our attributes!” a wizard exclaimed in astonishment.

“Thirty-six buffs! What powerful effects! No wonder our damage against the Void Hunter was only in the tens of points before. With Nie Yan Boss here, we’re now dealing thousands of damage!”

Nie Yan’s arrival caused a massive surge in the players’ strength thanks to Guardian Angel Kalenna!

Unfortunately, this Void Hunter didn’t drop any Void Silver. Nie Yan casually picked up an item—a level 200 legendary Void Armor with decent stats—and tossed it into his backpack.

Under Nie Yan’s leadership, the Bull Tribe players launched a full-scale counterattack. One after another, demonized lord-class Void creatures fell to the ground. The ordinary Void Wolves were eliminated by the AoE magic of the Light and Darkness Holy Dragons.

Several consecutive Light and Darkness ultimate spells reduced countless Void creatures to dust.

A crisp system notification chimed, and Nie Yan checked his level—it had risen to 203.

Such rapid leveling!

Not only Nie Yan, but other players also gained a lot of experience. Over 80% of the players leveled up once, with some even gaining two or three levels.

After nearly an hour, only a few Void creatures remained at the east gate of the city walls. Nie Yan immediately rushed to other locations.

The path was littered with corpses, and Nie Yan couldn’t help but feel exhilarated. Killing was so satisfying. With the Void event underway, leveling up had become much easier.

At one hour and fifty minutes, Nie Yan’s level surged again. Suddenly, he received a message.

System Notification: You have killed 36,000 Void creatures and have been awarded the rank of Commander of the Human and Orcish Allied Army.

System Notification: You have obtained a piece of Void Silver.

Seeing this notification, Nie Yan couldn’t help but feel puzzled. What exactly was this Allied Army Commander rank, and what use did a military rank have?

Regardless, the Void Silver in his pocket was a tangible benefit. Additionally, during the monster-killing spree, he had collected five Void Silver Ore, which was a decent haul.

Nie Yan wondered if he could further enhance the Abak Set using Void Silver. However, since the Abak Set was already extremely powerful, if he didn’t need it, he could give the Void Silver to Dao Guang and others to strengthen their abilities.

With the Bull Tribe players’ efforts, the number of Void creatures near Aukland City had significantly decreased. However, there were still many in the wild, which would eventually surround the city. Therefore, for the upcoming period, they would have to remain in a defensive state.

Checking the time, it was almost two hours. He still needed to attend the coronation ceremony at the Sacred Hall, reportedly presided over by the Archangel Tyrode. He wondered what a grand spectacle it would be!
