Chapter 990: Ten-Star Legendary Dark Winged Dragon!

After the reinforcements led by the Divine King arrived, only 30-some of the over 100 Gold Wing players remained, the rest having been killed.

Nie Yan and his several earth drakes fought like terrifying killing machines, their astonishing efficiency in combat sending chills down people’s spines.

Once another group of over 200 Gold Wing players appeared, the legendary Holy Word Mage, Ka’ers, finally took action.

Waving his staff, Ka’ers caused violent fluctuations in the magical elements across a radius of several thousand yards. Bowing his head, he uttered several obscure syllables in a deep, powerful voice, as if capable of piercing through time and space itself.

“What’s happening?”

“I don’t know!”

The Gold Wing players instinctively sensed danger, halting in their tracks, filled with shock and uncertainty. This was an irresistible force!

“Look over there, Ka’ers is casting a spell!”

“Quick, everyone retreat!”

The Gold Wing players scattered in panic. Could they interrupt Ka’ers? With Nie Yan’s numerous pets guarding him, how could they possibly get close? Moreover, they could feel the wild magical energies releasing terrifying power—the danger was imminent, leaving them no time to interrupt Ka’ers.

A few players with teleportation rings immediately fled using them.

The remaining players ran in all directions. At that moment, Ka’ers uttered the final syllable, unleashing dazzling white light from his body, as radiant as the sun, forcing everyone to avert their eyes.

Within a radius of thousands of yards, everything turned into a white world. Sacred songs echoed in the sky, and images of holy temples seemed to appear.

Instantly, the Gold Wing players screamed in agony as the white light struck them, as though melting them away.

Being players of the Dark Faction, they radiated dark energy, and now faced with such overwhelming holy light, they were like darkness meeting light—vanishing into nothingness.

Puff after puff, all over 200 Gold Wing players were vaporized in the white light, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.

This eerie scene made everyone shudder. Over 200 Gold Wing players had failed to withstand even a single spell.

Seeing the Gold Wing players completely disappear, Nie Yan gaped in disbelief at Ka’ers. Was this the power of a legendary mage? It was terrifying. Though Nie Yan himself was also a legendary player, he was a player, while Ka’ers was an NPC—clearly in a different league.

The only advantage Nie Yan had over Ka’ers was his ability to resurrect infinitely, while Ka’ers could not. Ka’ers’ strength was practically godlike. Nie Yan estimated that even if he died a hundred times, he might still be unable to defeat Ka’ers.

Nie Yan had merely asked Ka’ers to eliminate those Gold Wing players, but he never expected Ka’ers to unleash such a shocking move. Two hundred Gold Wings wiped out in an instant. With such terrifying power, it was likely that no one would dare challenge Nie Yan again!

Players watching the live stream on the forum were stunned, their mouths agape. They struggled to find words to express their shock. The legendary Holy Word Mage was truly terrifying! With such a powerful servant, wasn’t challenging Nie Yan tantamount to suicide?

“He wouldn’t dare to attack the Dark Faction without confidence. The Crazy Thief Nie Yan clearly had absolute certainty to pull this off. Poor Duo Duo—facing such a legendary NPC, he’s bound to lose.”

“Nie Yan might not even deploy Ka’ers, since it’s a personal duel between him and Duo Duo. Still, even without Ka’ers, Duo Duo probably has no chance of winning.”

Players on the forum shared their opinions, but on the side of Duo Duo and Angel’s Descent, there was only silence—Duo Duo made no response on the forum.

Everyone was speculating on how Duo Duo would face Nie Yan. Rumors said that preparations were underway at the Necropolis. Yet, no matter what tactics Duo Duo might employ, they would likely be ineffective against absolute power.

After the white light faded, the surroundings gradually dimmed. Nie Yan felt as if he had experienced another world, then slowly returned to reality.

There were no bodies left, everything was unusually clean, though many pieces of equipment lay scattered on the ground. Nie Yan collected them and put them into his bag. Glancing into the distance, he noticed several rogues hiding in the shadows since earlier. Ka’ers’ divine purification spell had not killed them, likely because they were from the Light Faction—his spell only affected Dark Faction players. Since they were not enemies, Nie Yan ignored them. The reason the video of Nie Yan appeared on the forum was probably related to those people.

Nie Yan walked forward. After Ka’ers’ attack, no Dark Faction player dared to challenge Nie Yan again. Along the way, he smoothly defeated many high-level Void creatures. He saw five of Angel’s Descent’s fortresses, now reduced to ruins. During the Void creatures’ attacks, Angel’s Descent had suffered significant losses, evident from these destroyed fortresses.

Destruction, reconstruction, destruction again, and rebuilding again—this seemed to be the rhythm of Faith. Players always managed to create new worlds from the ruins.

Approximately five hours later, a crisp system notification sounded. Nie Yan checked his level, now at level 211, matching Duo Duo.

Nie Yan smiled slightly. At least he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage in terms of level. Looking into the distance, a magnificent fortress appeared in his sight.

A high-level fortress!

Over three years, both Cowhead Tribe and Angel’s Descent had acquired several high-level fortresses, along with numerous mid-level ones. The walls of a high-level fortress were extremely thick, comparable to those of a regular mid-tier city, with tighter defenses, usually equipped with numerous war machines, making it a crucial strategic point.

On the walls of the fortress ahead stood many players, using them as a base to defend against the Void creatures’ assault. Most of the Void creatures outside had been cleared, leaving only twenty or thirty high-tier demonized lords furiously attacking the walls.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The walls trembled under the assault. From behind the walls, dense arrows and cannonballs flew out, striking the Void creatures, causing roars of pain. Hundreds of flying mounts circled above, occasionally diving to attack the Void creatures.

The battle was intense.

Witnessing this scene, Nie Yan suddenly had an idea. Angel’s Descent only had three high-level fortresses in total. Losing one would surely hurt them financially, even if they were rich.

Darkwing Drake!

Nie Yan summoned the Darkwing Drake. A sharp screech echoed as the massive Darkwing Drake appeared in his view.

With a wingspan exceeding a hundred yards, the Darkwing Drake resembled an ancient beast. Ordinary flying mounts were merely a tenth of its size.

As soon as the Darkwing Drake appeared, a powerful aura spread.

The only level-10 legendary flying mount!

Alongside the Darkwing Drake, Nie Yan also summoned the Ghost Dragon. Though large among flying mounts, the Ghost Dragon appeared tiny compared to the Darkwing Drake, as if a single flap of the latter’s wings could send it flying.

Nie Yan leapt onto the Darkwing Drake’s back. After a moment’s thought, he brought his several earth drakes and Ka’ers aboard. The Darkwing Drake’s back was spacious enough to accommodate many people.

With a flap of its wings, the Darkwing Drake took off, creating a fierce whirlwind that pushed the Ghost Dragon back several steps before it shakily flew up as well.

The massive Darkwing Drake immediately drew the attention of all Angel’s Descent players.

“Look over there, what is that!” Players on the walls stared at the approaching colossal figure in the sky.

“It looks like a flying mount!”

“It’s a dragon! Nie Yan’s Darkwing Drake! Goodness, how could it be so huge!”

They had never seen a flying mount of such size before.

“Nie Yan’s level-10 legendary Darkwing Drake!” Some Angel’s Descent players riding flying mounts shouted in fear, as only they truly understood the power of flying mounts.

A one-level difference in flying mounts meant a world of difference in strength.

What did a level-10 legendary flying mount mean? It meant invincibility. Any other flying mount was insignificant compared to a level-10 legendary one. Angel’s Descent only had over 300 level-9 flying mounts, serving as their ultimate aerial force. In aerial combat, level-9 mounts could dominate those one or two levels lower. Yet a level-10 legendary mount was a mythical existence—the only one in all of Faith, belonging solely to Nie Yan.

Like a gust of wind, the Darkwing Drake charged toward Angel’s Descent’s flying mounts. Instantly, hundreds of flying mounts scattered in panic, not even daring to fight.

Angel’s Descent players desperately tried to control their mounts, but the mounts refused to obey, paralyzed by fear of the level-10 legendary creature. They had completely lost their combat effectiveness, ignoring their riders’ commands.

Puff! Puff! Three level-9 flying mounts attempted to attack the Darkwing Drake, only to be torn apart instantly.

Nie Yan’s earth drakes and Ka’ers continuously unleashed spells, raining down individual forbidden spells. One by one, flying mounts were struck and fell from the sky.

It was a one-sided massacre!

Nie Yan let out a long roar. Hearing Nie Yan, the Darkwing Drake raised its head and roared, its dragon cry echoing across the battlefield—a sound of an invincible king.

All Angel’s Descent players on the battlefield turned pale with fear.
