Chapter 269 - 177: Chairman Xu! I Want Your... Blood
"Holy shit! Why did two Magic Arrays appear?"
"The aura of this new Magic Array is terrifying! Are they planning to wipe out all the Demon Race in that area?"
"Give us a break! We worked so hard to kill monsters, and now these High-Level Guilds show up and just clear the whole field!"
"Damn it! Can’t you leave some for the rest of us?! I still want to make it into the top thirty on the contribution leaderboard!"
"Which Guild’s Adventurers are these? Why are so many B+ Level Guilds participating in this event? Are they trying to drive us out?!"
"..."
When the even larger Magic Array appeared in the sky, the crowd’s shock reached its peak. They couldn’t believe that besides Delorri, there was another Clergy member who was so powerful with Light Magic!
Hong Lian and the other members of the Immortal Consort Guild all turned to look at Lucia. Their eyes were filled with disbelief and profound astonishment.
Although they all knew Lucia was strong, the scene before them was beyond their imagination.
Lucia’s Level was clearly lower than Delorri’s, but her Light Magic Power far surpassed Delorri’s! How was that possible?
Delorri was already Level 59, and she was a Saintess of the Bright Church Court! Even though she was only ranked sixth among the seven Saintesses, she was still one of the top figures in the Church Court!
They just couldn’t figure out why Lucia’s Magic Power was so immense, even surpassing the higher-Level Delorri.
Lucia’s identity sparked wild speculation among the crowd.
’What exactly is her position in the Bright Church Court? Could she be one of the two most talented Saintesses?’
’Or is she someone of an even higher rank, like... the Pope?’
Just as everyone was lost in confusion, Delorri reminded them, "The Demon Race is charging! What are you all standing around for?"
Her words snapped Hong Lian and the others out of their daze. They raised their weapons to face the tide of the Demon Race rushing toward them.
This also allowed Delorri to breathe a sigh of relief. She turned her gaze to Lucia, who was chanting a spell right beside her.
’As expected of the Pope,’ she thought, inwardly shaken. ’Even a low-Level avatar of hers can unleash Light Magic Power several times stronger than mine! My training is still far from complete!’
Lucia paid no mind to Delorri’s stare. She simply looked straight ahead at the Demon Race charging them.
Having sensed the danger, a large number of the Demon Race were converging on their position, trying to kill the Mages who were chanting their spells.
Facing these ferocious members of the Demon Race, Hong Lian and the others took on the heavy responsibility of protecting everyone.
"Don’t worry!" Hong Lian shouldered her Giant Sword as scorching Flame instantly erupted around her, looking as if it would incinerate all evil.
She said firmly, "With us here, you won’t be in any danger! The Demon Race won’t even get close to you!"
With that, Hong Lian slammed the Giant Sword from her back into the ground. In an instant, raging flames spread wildly from the blade, forming an indestructible barrier of fire. This barrier, like a river of fire, stretched between them and the Demon Race, effectively blocking their ferocious assault.
At the same time, Kaelin quickly cast a spell, erecting a sturdy Magic Barrier to shield Lucia and Delorri, ensuring their safety.
Meanwhile, Rosaline and Azkman defended the left and right flanks, respectively, fighting off the Demon Race swarming in from all directions.
Under their protection, the Demon Race couldn’t get a single step closer to Lucia and the others.
Any of the Demon Race who tried to break through the defensive line were instantly shredded by Rosaline’s sharp Sword Qi or burned to ash by Hong Lian’s scorching Flame.
Just then, Lucia and Delorri completed their incantations.
In that instant, Golden beams of light, like judgment from the Gods, poured down from the sky, enveloping the Demon Race in a brilliant radiance.
"AHHH!"
Bathed in the beams of light, the Demon Race let out blood-curdling screams as they turned to ash and scattered into the air.
The terrifying and shocking scene made all the Adventurers present stare with wide eyes...
However, on another battlefield, the situation was somewhat different.
"Miss Reine, this wasn’t part of our plan..." Ivsha reminded her, a hint of worry in her voice.
"Plan? The plan is to annihilate all these lowly ants!" Mare Rhine cut her off dismissively. Clad in red Dragon Scale Armor, she ascended into the air with a simple flap of her wings and looked down coldly upon the battlefield below.
With a gentle beat of the Dragon Wings on her back, the crimson light in Mare Rhine’s eyes grew even more brilliant, as if burning with the flames of destruction.
If one could see her face beneath her armor at that moment, they would surely see the cold, ruthless sneer on her lips.
"Ants, meet your destruction!" Her words were cold and arrogant, filled with disdain and contempt for the Demon Race.
Before her voice faded, Mare Rhine raised a Dragon Claw. In an instant, a crimson sphere of light condensed in her palm, as if gathering all the rage and Power of Destruction in the world.
With a flick of her finger, the crimson sphere of light plummeted toward the center of the Demon Race army.
The moment the sphere touched the ground, an energy akin to a nuclear explosion erupted. Crimson flames surged like ocean waves, Devouring everything around them in a raging inferno.
Hundreds of the Demon Race were powerless against this terrifying force. They didn’t even have time to scream before being reduced to ash in the crimson flames, dissipating into the air.
"Wh-wh-what..."
"What in the world is this Power?"
"What just happened? We haven’t even made a move, and hundreds of the Demon Race have already been wiped out?"
"This... This is absolutely ridiculous!!"
"Hurry up and join the fight! Or there’ll be nothing left!"
"..."
The Adventurers on the battlefield were all stunned by Mare Rhine’s astonishing move.
They hadn’t even acted yet, but hundreds of the Demon Race had already been turned to ash. It was beyond their imagination.
"Should we still stick to the plan?" Petico asked Xu Feiyan.
Xu Feiyan, sitting in the Guild hall, witnessed all of this and a meaningful smile touched her lips.
According to the original plan, Mare Rhine was supposed to lead her team, guard the frontline sector, and steadily advance onto the battlefield.
But now, Mare Rhine had gone rogue, launching a solo attack on the Demon Race.
However~
Since their side was primarily composed of Warriors—Petico, the two Cat Ear Race sisters, Ivsha, and Lanlan were all capable of close combat—they didn’t need Warriors to protect Mages like on the other battlefield.
Xu Feiyan quickly adjusted her strategy and said to Alice, "Alice, can you stick close to Ivsha and Lanlan and protect them?"
"Of course! Leave it to me!" Alice immediately summoned her Big Scissors and stood guard beside Ivsha and Lanlan.
Xu Feiyan turned to the two Cat Ear Race twins and said, "Mengmeng, Mengmeng, hide in the shadows and support everyone."
"Yes, President!" the two Cat Ear Race girls replied in unison. They then quickly melted into the darkness, becoming as elusive as Ghosts.
Finally, Xu Feiyan said to Petico, "Petico, go ahead and do as you please. This is your stage."
"Mm."
Petico nodded slightly. Then, a blood-red longsword materialized in her hand, and she stepped onto the battlefield.
"They’re really an outstanding group of kids~"
Xu Feiyan gazed at the several light screens in front of her, a satisfied smile gracing her lips.
This Demon Cave event was going even more smoothly than she had anticipated. Her and Su Xuan’s team of Adventurers displayed overwhelming dominance on the battlefield, leaving the other two factions far behind in the dust.
’Looks like this event will go smoothly!’
When Xu Feiyan’s gaze shifted to Su Xuan, she saw him sitting quietly on the sofa with his head bowed.
"Su Xuan, you..."
Xu Feiyan felt a flicker of confusion seeing Su Xuan’s Status.
Just then, a faint, low voice reached her ears:
"Give me blood... Give me blood..."
"Give me your blood!"
