My Misfortune Crushed Instances

Under the dual assault of Landry and Li Rui, the cursed priest couldn’t hold on, and his subordinates could only watch helplessly as the bishop was overwhelmed by the iron cavalry.

Landry had already prepared to face his death, but unexpectedly, the situation reversed suddenly, and it was the cursed priest who died.

"Could it be that my sacrifice to cover my companions’ retreat earned his respect, and he decided to help me?"

"Ah, is this the camaraderie shared among men?"

"Perhaps I still have a chance to return alive?"

Then he realized he overthought it.

The ghostly rider charged forward but had not yet turned around when Li Rui had already rushed towards him.

His principle was always to fight the strongest, and since everyone else from the Western Kingdom had fled leaving only one to cover the retreat, and there were still many on the Polar Alliance’s side, he changed his target.

After the cursed priest also died, he turned his attention to Landry.

Afterimage.

Great Fire Bell Spell.

The double flames made Landry pause for a moment, and once he determined which side was real, he hurriedly manipulated his skills to counter.

The intense explosion occurred between them, rendering the area within several hundred meters a death zone, beyond the capabilities of the remaining people to approach.

Landry was incredibly shocked; he hadn’t expected the Foggy Evil Ghost to possess such powerful flame attribute skills.

But what shocked him more was yet to come.

In the scorching wasteland formed by their exploding skills, Li Rui emerged unscathed.

He deliberately used the Fire Bell Spell to collide with the opponent’s fire magic, creating an intense explosion that obscured the interior, and then used the ring’s immunity to fire damage skill to unexpectedly charge out from the front.

Thunder Shocking Earth was ready, with a 30% charge bonus, and a 70% battle scar bonus.

Under normal circumstances, Landry could have used his movement skills to evade, but now he couldn’t. He had triggered overburn, making him unable to use any abilities other than fire attributes.

Flame Shield Barrier lv5.

Scorching Recovery lv5.

That’s all he could do.

With a howling, Thunder Shocking Earth smashed down, and with the skill bonus and the negative effects of overburn increasing damage by 50%, he couldn’t withstand it.

In a deafening roar, Landry turned to ashes, prematurely ending this Secret Realm battlefield.

Li Rui walked out of the flames, and even the remaining forces of the Polar Alliance dared not move for a time, watching helplessly as he caught up with the already distant ghostly rider.

This man-ghost combination suddenly appeared, and after several charges, two famed strongmen perished, then they calmly rode away, likely becoming a nightmare for these people for a long time.

.....

A group of people bypassed the Polar Alliance outpost, which could no longer hinder them, and continued heading north.

"Li, why not take care of the remaining people?" asked Rossi, the more talkative assassin.

"Once they discover us, someone will surely go elsewhere for assistance; some mediocre fighters are not worth the time, lest we get caught by incoming reinforcements."

Li Rui had killed a Blood Barber, a Flame Controller, and a cursed priest, along with the pre-determined Dylan Hegg, making it four high-risk targets killed along this journey, and broke through the enemy’s command hub besides.

Now, just making it back alive would be a significant achievement, unmatched in the Secret Realm battlefield.

Of course, he didn’t care about achievements; he merely wanted to return quickly.

Under Ju Ye’s guidance, the team chose a path less likely to be discovered by the enemy, heading north, and Li Rui felt secretly alarmed that the Polar Alliance had pushed this far.

A bit further ahead, and they would reach the camp where Kong Ji once was.

At this point, however, the front was already bustling with activity.

It started with the roaring sounds of spells.

Then came the angry roars and snarls of the Human Race or Demon Race, even the undead, followed by the clashing of weapons.

"We’ve arrived."

Li Rui shouted, "Charge with me, attack from the rear, break through the enemy’s formation."

The divine power ghostly rider now seemed like his subordinate, and upon hearing the order, immediately began charging from behind.

Engaged in combat at the front, naturally, were troops from Dragon Country and the Polar Alliance.

On one side was the mustachioed deputy commander, Cheng Mingyue, along with 0103 and 0106.

These four were the most powerful figures on the Secret Realm battlefield.

With them guarding this place, the defenses were impenetrable, not easily broken through.

Even so, the Polar Alliance continued to attack fiercely because their lineup was also strong.

Son of Uleir, Vons Munch Klem, a rising star of the Snowfield Cathedral, led four units, toppling fortresses, exploiting the early disarray in Dragon Country, and directly reached this place.

Their goal wasn’t further advance but to exert enough pressure to secure some key points from south to north, then they could retreat.

At this moment, both sides were still at an impasse.

Cheng Mingyue’s offensive capabilities weren’t the top, but her support and crowd control skills were top-notch, enough to buff three people and use spatial isolation to help her side’s forces withstand some critical damage.

But the pressure on her was immense, facing stronger enemies, her stance-switching requirements increased significantly; it wasn’t as effortless as when she assisted Li Rui in Ghost City. Beads of sweat had already started rolling down her fair cheeks.

Meanwhile, the Divine Son Vons was always looking for an opportunity to instantly kill this woman, having realized that as long as she lived, the three Dragon Country powerhouses could exert even greater combat strength.

As a Rain Summoner, he had advanced into a never-before-seen ice attribute profession, capable of using extremely cold ice storms to devastate enemies.

However, compared to regular Ice Mages, he was special.

His main uniqueness lay in his rapid freezing ability, along with his Rain Summoner’s mist flow control and rare talent, Water Moistening Mist.

This meant that while ordinary Ice Mages could only use the impact of ice storms and the ice cones and blades within to destroy others, his ice storm included these features and could freeze enemies with incredibly high humidity. Once caught in it, escape was difficult.

In the eyes of cathedral devotees, this represented the God of Ice and Snow’s authority; he wasn’t just using skills but truly commanding the weather.

When someone like that appeared on the battlefield, everyone from formidable individuals like the mustachioed man and Cheng Mingyue to others slightly weaker in individual strength had to be extremely cautious. Being caught by the ice storm could mean instant freezing or at least damaging the body’s tissues.

Crash!

An icy blast shattered Cheng Mingyue’s spatial barrier, she gasped, and immediately erected another one; any slower, a large group of allies behind her would fall into crisis.

But at this moment, a faint headache told her that her spiritual power was nearly exhausted, and her recovery skills were still on cooldown, unable to provide timely replenishment.

She looked at the opposite side, at that seemingly amiable, calm man.

Since the battle began, he’d only used one sustained attack skill yet managed to suppress the front lines firmly.

Cheng Mingyue was somewhat annoyed.

"Hmph! If Li Rui were here, would you still dare boast?"

Just as she thought this, she noticed chaos suddenly erupting in the enemy’s rear, and looking from afar, it seemed a fierce Evil Qi was rampaging through it.
