Free Web NovelChapter 277: Chapter 158: Long-Range Kills, Reaping War Merits
On the Star Realm battlefield.
RUMBLE...
A brutal struggle was constantly unfolding.
Zorn’s Star Trace·Holy Armor and the Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament he wore were already covered in cracks.
Even Zorn’s own body bore seven or eight wounds that had pierced through and corrupted him.
At this moment, Zorn was relying solely on the defensive barrier created by the Ancient God Curse, Rift: Ancient God’s Curtain Robe, to defend himself.
The Rift: Ancient God’s Curtain Robe skill could significantly enhance Zorn’s offensive power while also granting him extremely strong defensive capabilities.
Although Rift: Ancient God’s Curtain Robe had no direct combat applications,
as a support- and enhancement-type Ancient God Curse, its effects were astounding.
It was currently withstanding the bombardment of his opponent’s multiple Ancient God Curses.
This Rift: Ancient God’s Curtain Robe played a crucial role.
If it weren’t for this defensive Ancient God Curse, Zorn likely wouldn’t still be standing.
Every move the Ancient God Messenger made could unleash horrifying destructive power on the level of an Ancient God Curse.
The two had been locked in a deadly battle for over a dozen hourglasses of time.
While Zorn’s injuries were extremely severe,
the Ancient God Messenger was in a much more tragic state.
His Sequence was clearly showing signs of abnormal mutation. This high-intensity battle was pushing his Sequence—already forcibly enhanced by the Evil God’s power—ever closer to the brink of collapse.
But neither Zorn nor the Ancient God Messenger from the Evil God World
had any intention of retreating.
In this battle, both sides had used every trick up their sleeves, completely intent on killing the other.
As the third round of Space-Time Disaster Thunder Echo was brewing,
Zorn’s expression was grim as he quickly pushed forward the attack from his strongest Ancient God Curse.
Meanwhile, the Ancient God Messenger also channeled the power from the shadowy Tree of the Evil God’s Magic Ring to continuously strengthen himself.
For Zorn, even if he died in a battle like this, his core source wouldn’t be harmed.
But for the Ancient God Messenger, once a battle like this ended,
his Sequence would inevitably suffer heavy damage.
He might even be directly devoured by that terrifying Evil God.
Zorn could sense the "deliciousness" within such a mutated, corrupted body.
Not to mention his fellow Evil Gods.
RUMBLE...
As the thunder from an ancient space-time continued to surge,
BOOM—
a bolt of black lightning so shocking that even Zorn was startled suddenly pierced through the distant space-time, striking the Ancient God Messenger heavily.
The Disaster Thunder intertwined with the phantom of the Evil God’s Tree of the Magic Ring.
CRACK... CRACK... CRACK...
The phantom of the Tree of the Magic Ring continuously cracked, the fissures visibly widening.
At the same time, the Disaster Thunder was also being rapidly depleted.
Finally!
Before the phantom of the Tree of the Evil God’s Magic Ring could collapse, Zorn’s Disaster Thunder was exhausted first.
Having exhausted himself to withstand this round of attacks, the Ancient God Messenger could no longer clearly see the figure of that damned Evil Spirit Wizard due to the worsening corruption.
But that didn’t matter.
It was his turn to counterattack.
’Even if I can only target a general area, I’m confident I can finish him off.’
’That guy has been fighting for several rounds. He can’t take it anymore.’
Just as the Ancient God Messenger was about to release the Ancient Curse’s power, which he had channeled from the great Lord Evil God’s Tree of the Magic Ring,
a thread of power that made his very soul tremble suddenly poured into him.
It was another voice, the voice of another master that drove him to madness and despair.
"Urrggh..."
The Ancient God Messenger frantically clutched his head, letting out a miserable, wailing scream.
The next moment!
With a dull THUD!
his head exploded, and his soul and Sequence will shattered at the same instant.
The Ancient God Messenger, who had just been about to gain the upper hand,
was defeated and killed in the blink of an eye.
Many of the spectating Upper Rank Transcendents had thought the Evil Spirit Wizard was on the verge of defeat.
They never expected the Ancient God Messenger’s Sequence to suddenly collapse, causing him to die on the spot.
’Is this... just incredibly good luck? Did he win just like that?’
Few of the Upper Rank Transcendents could see the inner workings of what had happened.
But the powerful Holy Crown experts certainly recognized the formidable technique at play.
"Haha... Truly worthy of being an Evil Spirit Wizard, with a Sequence that coexists with Evil Gods. This bewitchment of the mind and will is truly powerful."
A burly Holy Crown Mage, a full seven meters tall with an aura as deep as the ocean, laughed heartily.
"That Ancient God Messenger’s Sequence was already battered to the edge of a mutant, out-of-control state."
"Lured by an Evil Spirit using the Evil Spirit Wizard’s Authority power, he died on the spot."
"Since he relied on the power of an Evil God, it was inevitable he would suffer a loss in this regard."
At this point, the Level 20 Holy Crown Mage looked toward Holy Crown Female Blade Master Reya.
"The Divine Kingdom really sent a super genius over this time!"
A faint smile also appeared on Holy Crown Female Blade Master Reya’s face.
After all, this Evil Spirit Wizard was only Level 14, yet he was already slightly stronger than a top expert who had cultivated for over a hundred years and borrowed power from the Tree of the Evil God’s Magic Ring.
If he continued to cultivate and improve, with time, he might well become a terrifying existence capable of slaying numerous Holy Crown experts while still at the Upper Rank.
A guy like this would be enough to leave a significant mark, even in the history of the Divine Kingdom.
After killing the Ancient God Messenger, Zorn could already feel several astonishingly hateful gazes from the Evil God World.
He immediately returned using a projection transit.
Being able to kill the Ancient God Messenger was already taking advantage of a considerable "Sequence advantage."
’I’m seriously injured right now. If I keep fighting, I’ll have to reveal my powerful trump cards.’
’Besides, if I continue this bloody battle, the hidden Holy Crown experts will definitely launch a Surprise Attack on me.’
’Those guys from the Evil God World don’t play by the rules.’
Within the crowd of Holy Crown experts,
Dark Knight Karem’s gaze fell upon Zorn.
He had originally wanted to use this genius’s reputation from the Divine Kingdom to catalyze his own darkness-aligned skills through a scheme.
But not only did his scheme fail, he ended up testing the boy’s own cunning methods.
To reach this level at Level 14... looking at the current batch of geniuses from the Divine Kingdom, very few could achieve such a feat.
His brow relaxed, and he smiled.
"Not bad, not bad at all. I originally planned to use you to catalyze my skills."
"I didn’t expect you to possess such astonishing strength."
"Although my scheme didn’t succeed in its catalysis, I will still give you the batch of resources I promised. Consider it a sponsorship to help one of our Divine Kingdom’s geniuses."
Hearing this, Zorn quickly bowed and expressed his thanks.
"Thank you, Lord Karem!"
"Hehe... It’s a small matter."
Karem waved his hand, speaking nonchalantly.
With Zorn having killed several people and successfully escaped,
this naturally enraged the experts from the Evil God World’s side.
Soon, an ordinary-looking Demon Tree Swordsman stepped forward to issue a challenge.
This Demon Tree Swordsman, who didn’t look very strong, was in fact astonishingly powerful.
In the following three consecutive battles,
he cut down three people in a row and even used a technique involving roots to devour, absorb, and digest an expert from the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom on the spot.
Sequences leaning toward the Evil God faction often have this kind of "instant refinement" ability.
Zorn’s Life Absorption and Evil Witch Spirituality were both examples of this.
It’s just that Zorn rarely did such things in front of others.
’As a potential Evil God, it’s better to be restrained.’
’Acting too crazed makes it easy to get ganged up on and hunted down.’
As he was watching the Demon Tree Swordsman fight to a standstill with the fourth expert from the Divine Kingdom,
Female Blade Master Reya’s voice quietly sounded in Zorn’s ear.
"Zorn, after that last battle, quite a few experts from the Evil God World have their eyes on you."
"The big fight is about to start. Don’t stay here. Sneak to the back and just hide far away while casting your magic."
"Yes!"
Zorn’s heart stirred. After bowing to Female Blade Master Reya, he began to project himself far behind the crowd.
Within the battlefield,
the expert from the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom had already gained the upper hand.
Just as he was about to achieve victory,
BZZZT!
a black spear of light pierced through in an instant.
The shameless Evil God World side had launched a Surprise Attack.
But the Calamity Court Divine Kingdom’s side had long been prepared.
A Holy Crown Titan Knight, with the help of a Cosmic Wanderer, instantly arrived at the front of the battlefield.
A thick Battle Shield, as solid as that of an ancient Titan god, was abruptly raised, freezing the entire Spatial Layer Realm.
BOOM! A loud explosion rang out.
The black spear of light exploded.
The Titan Knight holding the shield swung his Battle Shield, flinging away the black, corrupting power.
"Kill!"
"Wipe them out!"
"Kill..."
Both sides, long prepared for a great war, clashed in an instant.
Star Realm Vessels of all sizes, along with ranged Casters, all unleashed powerful, long-range Magic, bombarding the enemy’s position.
Across the entire Star Realm Void, the curtain rose on a vast war.
The moment the battle began, Zorn felt a Magic Spell descending upon him.
Zorn immediately used the Divine Kingdom Spirit Bridge to pass through and land in a distant Witch Shadow in the rear, dodging the attack.
While drinking a potion to recover from his injuries,
Zorn began to release the Calamity Black Mist.
The Rift: Ancient Curtain Divine Robe gradually draped over him, and the Angel Armament Feather Blades of his Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament unfurled.
Zorn’s entire body gradually merged with the Star Realm Void.
RUMBLE...
As the ancient Disaster Thunder began to echo behind Zorn,
the brilliantly glowing golden Ancient God’s Hand had already drawn the Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin.
But this time, the Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin was wreathed in arcs of black lightning.
After this period of continuous research,
he found that this "Thunder Arrow," a combination of multiple Ancient God Curse Forbidden Curse techniques, was not suitable for close-quarters combat.
However, it was perfect for long-range sniping.
Especially in a chaotic battlefield zone.
Combined with the long-range Insight from Divine Kingdom - Spirit Bridge and Witch Shadow Manifestation,
it was perfectly capable of striking from extreme distances.
This was a Divine Skill for reaping on the battlefield.
Although there was a very small chance that another expert could sneak up on him for an assassination,
for Zorn, with the double Defense of Divine Kingdom - Angel Armament and Rift: Ancient God’s Curtain Robe, it was truly difficult for an ordinary Upper Rank Transcendent to threaten him.
If a Holy Crown expert were to sneak over, Zorn wouldn’t be afraid either.
Resurrection was his key safety net for moments like this.
Therefore, from the rear, Zorn was completely at ease, boldly sniping from extreme range.
Under Zorn’s sniping, ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
a constant stream of Upper Rank Transcendents and small-to-medium enemy Star Realm Vessels were shot down or pierced through.
Of course, some powerful experts were able to block Zorn’s shots.
But most targets found it difficult to withstand his sniping. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
As Zorn sniped, the "Magic Ring Elves" on the Tree of the Magic Ring also noticed his kill efficiency, and some "Disaster Court·Magic Ring Elves" began to pay special attention to him.
Generally speaking, accumulating a high number of kills in a war would attract the attention of the "Disaster Court·Magic Ring Elves."
After this battle ended,
Zorn would receive special war Merit.
Otherwise, he would only receive a standardized reward.
And on the battlefield, one needed truly formidable killing techniques to gain the attention of the "Disaster Court·Magic Ring Elves."
And Zorn’s set of techniques was certainly not weak.
Through his continuous sniping, Zorn’s war Merit was growing rapidly.
A Star Realm war that only happened once every half-year, year, or even several years...
This was a golden opportunity to earn war Merit.
Once missed, it would be gone.
