Chapter 74: I will be the one winning in the end!
When the Serpent Fire spell detonated, a huge eruption of emerald-tinted flame exploded outward from Bertram’s position, racing like wildfire across the battlefield.
It surged toward the well and everything around it, completely engulfing the protective red barrier and washing over any unlucky players too slow to retreat.
One serpent after another emerged from this sea of flames and started attacking the barrier repeatedly. Every time they struck, the serpents did a significant damage on the barrier. If it continued like this then the barrier was going to collapse in no time.
However, Damon had no plans of something like that happening. He directly placed his hand on the barrier and started erecting multiple divine shields one after the other.
Bertram’s jaw dropped to the ground when he saw what was happening. How can divine shields be popping up around the barrier soaking in the damage of the flame serpents? Was someone from their guild betraying them? But one person shouldn’t be able to erect so many barriers. What was going on?
Unfortunately for him, the serpents continued to crash and burn against the divine shields, not even touching the actual barrier. The integrity of the barrier remained well above 70%.
Bertram went livid. He had thrown a million dollars at this siege already and it still was not enough? How was he going to explain that million dollars to his father? He started shouting at the NPC, filled with panic and anxiety. "Do something, damn it! He’s killing everyone!"
Completely oblivious to his plight, Sir Elias remained umoved.
Bertram did not know what to do anymore. The flame serpent died out just like that barely making a dent in the barrier. More and more players continued to fall.
