Chapter 222: Fleeing Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind
Chapter 222: Fleeing Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind
After the Dragonkind class users landed, Lin Moyu had no intention of letting them escape.
He lifted his hand, and an overwhelming number of Skeletal Warriors appeared and surrounded the two Dragonkind Warriors who had just charged out from behind the shield, some swinging their blades while others holding the opponent.
Under Lin Moyu's orders, escape was out of the question.
The Skeletal Warriors unleashed their skills, and their blades landed on the Dragonkind Warriors, severing wings, filling the air with agonizing screams.
At the same time, 100 Skeletal Mages appeared, and a large number of magic spells slammed into the Dragonkind Knight's shield and smashed it apart.
In the next moment, a red light flashed, and the Damage Curse was replaced with the Slow Curse.
Even though the curse's effect was greatly reduced, it would still be able to slow down the enemy significantly, buying time for the Skeletal Warriors.
Not being able to fly was a remaining weakness of the Skeleton Warriors. Therefore, the best way to deal with these flying enemies was to prevent them from taking off.
"Crap!"
The skeletons appearing, the shield shattering, and the curse descending, these three things happened almost at the same time. It all took less than a second.By the time the Dragonkind Knight realized what was going on, it was already too late.
The skeletons rushed over and jumped up one after another, not giving the Dragonkind class user any chances to escape.
The Dragonkind class users never expected so many skeletons to appear.
When they first saw Lin Moyu, there were clearly only two skeletons by his side. Had they known this beforehand, they wouldn't have descended.
"Charge out with me!" The Dragonkind Knight wanted to break out of the encirclement, or else it would die here.
Skill: Dominant Impact!
The Dragonkind Knight unleashed a fierce roar and activated its skill!
At the same time, a flame flashed in Lin Moyu's palm.
The Dragonkind Knight's roar instantly turned into a miserable scream, and its skill was interrupted. It almost dropped its sword and fell to its knees, trembling.
Skill: Soul Blaze!
The base power of Soul Blaze was determined by Lin Moyu's spirit force.
After reaching level 30 and equipping the complete hell outpost set, his spirit force was raised by a great margin.
Additionally, after reaching level 30, the power of the 30 Soul Blaze skill itself had also increased.
Lastly, his talent's amplification changed from 30 times to 40 times.
As a result, the power of Soul Blaze had reached an astonishing degree.
When it was used now, it perfectly interrupted the Dragonkind Knight's skill, shattering their last hope.
Lin Moyu showed no mercy. Unlike during the class user competition, there was no room for leniency. He used the extremely painful Soul Blaze skill without hesitation. After all, when confronting an enemy, no method was too extreme.
The Skeletal Warriors overwhelmed them completely.
The Dragonkind Mages cast Magic Shields and attempted to fly away. But the Magic Shields were quickly swarmed by Skeletal Warriors.
At the same time, the Skeletal Mages' skills rained down, smashing the Magic Shields, and then the Skeletal Warriors swiftly severed their wings.
When a Dragonkind Mage was killed, the curse switched, changing from the Slow Curse to the Damage Curse.
Then came a loud rumble, and the entire Dragonkind party was wiped out.
[Killed level 48 Dragonkind Knight, EXP +1,920,000, military merit +1,000]
[Killed level 48 Dragonkind Mage, EXP +1,920,000, military merit +1,000]
...
Lin Moyu was taken aback. He didn't expect that, in addition to killing Abyssal Demons, killing Dragonkind would earn him military merit. It seemed that Dragonkind were also enemies of the human race.
But why didn't the Dragonkind monsters in the Dragonkind Frontline Outpost dungeon give military merit? Lin Moyu couldn't figure it out for the time being.
This time he earned 6,000 military merit, pushing his military merit to 44,000 and adding another star to his military badge. Lin Moyu was promoted to a four-star lieutenant.
A level 30 four-star lieutenant, this was unprecedented in the history of the human race.
Many level 30 class users had never even set foot on the Dimensional Battlefield, let alone ventured into the more dangerous Immemorial Battlefield.
Lin Moyu retrieved his skeletons, keeping only two Skeletal Warriors by his side, to create a false impression.
Upon seeing that he was only level 30, enemies would undoubtedly rush over. However, if a bunch of Skeletal Warriors had been released instead, both Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind would likely flee at first sight. Chasing after them would be a pain.
"If only they could fly." Lin Moyu sighed.
The issue of Skeletal Warriors being susceptible to control had been resolved, yet the issue of them being unable to fly still remained.
The enemies could fly, but he couldn’t, which was quite troublesome.
Aside from some special classes, most human class users could only gain the ability to fly after reaching level 70 and completing the third class awakening.
Lin Moyu wondered if the Skeletal Warriors would be able to fly after reaching level 70.
He thought about the scene he saw in the Third Battlefield's dungeon, where a human Mage cast Restricted Airspace, and the enemies immediately lost their ability to fly.
This was especially advantageous for low- to high-level human class users.
Everything had its pluses and minuses. Lin Moyu knew he couldn't ask for too much, given that his class was already quite overpowered.
The spatial channel in the sky had already disappeared. Lin Moyu had the skeletons gather the equipment of the Dragonkind party, tossing them into his storage space.
Their equipment was pretty good, all platinum rank, though he wasn't sure if it was suitable for humans to use.
Even if it was given to a blacksmith as raw materials, it would still be of use.
…
In the Dragonkind World, a thunderous roar rose and dispersed the clouds.
"Who was it!"
"Who killed my party!"
"If I find who you are, I'll skin you alive."
Inside an enormous castle, roars rumbled through the air, and the massive castle trembled and shook.
The castle's owner had just sent a party to the Immemorial Battlefield, yet it was wiped out within two minutes.
It had expended a great cost to open the channel to the Immemorial Battlefield. Now it all had gone wasted.
Regrettably, no one answered its question. It could only roar in anger.
...
Lin Moyu recalled the words of the Dragonkind Knight he had just fought: he bears the scent of Dragonkind.
Based on the Dragonkind Knight's words, it seemed like Lin Moyu had killed Dragonkind before.
The only possibility was the frontline outpost dungeon, where he had killed many Dragonkind-type monsters.
That might be where he picked up the scent. However, in that dungeon, there were only monsters, yet no military merit.
"Strange!" Lin Moyu didn't continue to dwell on it.
If this scent was that noticeable, then other Dragonkind might come looking for him.
For those level 40 or level 50 parties, no matter how many come, Lin Moyu could wipe them all out, earning him EXP, military merit, and equipment.
In this regard, Dragonkind had better performance than Abyssal Demons.
At this time, Lin Moyu stepped into a stretch of rolling hills. The hills weren't high, only 20 to 30 meters tall, extending as far as the eye could see. Among the hills, a rather narrow passage had formed, less than 10 meters wide.
In the Immemorial Battlefield, there were countless hills, stretching endlessly along the way.
When Lin Moyu first saw this area, he didn't think anything of it. But when he stepped inside, he sensed something was off. It was too quiet, terrifyingly quiet.
In the Immemorial Battlefield, there was always whispering, as if calls from souls. It had been there since he first stepped into the Immemorial Battlefield, and had never disappeared since.
But now that whispering was gone. When a sound that had always been present suddenly disappeared, it created a strange feeling and a sense of extreme discomfort.
Amid the unexpected quietness, Lin Moyu looked ahead, igniting Soul Blaze in his palm. Yet there was no crackling sound from burning souls. In other words, there were no soul fragments around.
In the Immemorial Battlefield, the absence of soul fragments was highly unusual.
Suddenly, the ground began to quake. In Lin Moyu's line of sight, a dozen-plus dark figures appeared, running toward him.
"Abyssal Demons!" Lin Moyu was startled, immediately recognizing that the dark figures running toward him were Abyssal Demons.
"Why aren't they flying?"
These Abyssal Demons had wings, yet they weren't flying, instead sprinting on the ground. This was rather strange.
Then he noticed it wasn't just Abyssal Demons. There was also a party of Dragonkind class users running alongside the Abyssal Demons.
Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users were mortal enemies. Whenever they met, they would fight to the death. How come they were running side by side? Were they really getting along so well?
And the Dragonkind class users weren't flying either.
Lin Moyu's pupils constricted slightly. He looked more closely, and finally saw a large black mass chasing them from above and behind.
Both the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users had their eyes filled with panic. Clearly, the mass chasing them was quite terrifying.
The mass was pitch black, as if it could absorb the light of the Immemorial Battlefield. All that could be seen was blackness.
"A delicious human!"
"The human has killed our kind!"
The Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users spotted Lin Moyu at the same time.
The Abyssal Demons revealed excited, bloodthirsty expressions—this was their instinct. Human flesh was the ultimate delicacy to them.
The Dragonkind class users, on the other hand, showed looks of resentment. Lin Moyu carried the scent of Dragonkind, and it was fresh. This indicated that he had recently killed Dragonkind class users.
Both groups wanted to kill him. However, they were currently fleeing for their lives.
Boom! Boom!
Hills on both sides exploded, and swarms of black objects burst out and joined the pursuit.
The group of nine Abyssal Demons and six Dragonkind class users was being chased doggedly by these black objects. What on earth were those things?!
Lin Moyu cast Detection.
[Soul Devour Insect]
[Level:40]
[Strength: 5,000]
[Agility: 20,000]
[Spirit: 5,000]
[Physique: 5,000]
[Skill: Soul Devour]
[Traits: Ignore Defense, Ignore Physical Immunity, Bite Everything]
Lin Moyu was startled.
The attributes didn't seem particularly powerful—strength, spirit, and physique were merely 5,000 each. Only agility was relatively high, giving them considerable speed.
Their sole skill was Soul Devour, which explained the absence of soul fragments in this area. The soul fragments were all consumed by them.
But this alone wasn't enough to make the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users cut such sorry figures.
The key lied with the Soul Devour Insects' traits—Ignore Defense, Ignore Physical Immunity, Bite Everything. That was quite scary.
If there were only a few dozen to 100 Soul Devour Insects, they wouldn't pose a problem. But looking at them now, densely packed together, there were thousands upon thousands.
No wonder the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users were fleeing for dear life.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a hill burst apart, and a massive number of Soul Devour Insects emerged, blocking the path of the Abyssal Demons and Dragonkind class users.
The Abyssal Demons radiated formidable auras, and terrifying flames shot ahead, burning open a path in an instant.
A Dragonkind Knight activated its Smash skill. At the same time, the Dragonkind Mages behind it cast a barrage of magic spells, pushing back the surrounding Soul Devour Insects and carving out a path.
They saw the end of the hills behind Lin Moyu. If they could escape this area, they would be saved.
However...
Lin Moyu's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had no intention of letting them escape.
Soul Blaze was already raging fiercely!
