A shadow army composed of more than 4,000 peak ninth-level soldiers.
This force can control a region even in higher planes such as the divine world and the underworld.
And these are only part of Annuo's strength.
The real summoning legion is still behind.
"First, use the shadow troops to test the waters."
Annuo observed the battlefield and began to analyze other people's intelligence.
Annuo has never really paid attention to the current strength of the Twelve Kings.
During this three-month plane expedition, everyone has made rapid progress.
Now is the first time that everyone has shown their strength in front of Annuo after entering the ninth level.
As soon as the battle began, the situation favored the Shadow Force.
The advantage in numbers is too great.
And it also has an advantage in terms of level.
However, even though the shadow troops attacked wave after wave, they were unable to disrupt the camp of the Twelve Kings.
As a protector, he is not afraid even when facing a peak ninth-order enemy.
"We need large-scale killing magic!"
Lu Yan pierced the shadow in front of him with his gun and shouted to the people around him: "Find a way to get to An Nuo's side!"
Facing a summoner, there is no point in fighting with the shadow troops in front of you.
Even if he killed these shadows, Anno would not be harmed at all.
Instead, their magic power will be wasted.
After hearing this, the people around immediately took action.
"【Secret Art·Curse】!"
Makaros first used [Totem] to add a debuff to the shadow troops, instantly reducing all attributes of the shadow troops by 10%.
Then Geng Qingxue began to demonstrate the characteristics of the magic machine gun.
During this period, when Geng Qingxue used [Fire Phoenix Spreading Across the Prairie], she triggered the triple casting effect of [Magic Amplification].
Three fire phoenixes emitting terrifying waves circled Geng Qingxue and then pounced towards the shadows around them.
Bang bang bang~!
After being caught up by the Fire Phoenix, countless shadows were burned by flames and turned into black shadows and disappeared with screams.
The eightfold increase in [Magic Amplification] makes [Phoenix Fire Spreading Across the Prairie] powerful enough to easily kill a ninth-order peak powerhouse.
“Ouch~”
Sasir transformed into a giant beast a hundred meters tall. After slapping a group of shadows away, he opened his bloody mouth and sprayed a beam of blood-red light forward.
On the other side, two identical six-winged angels gathered behind Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen respectively.
As the dazzling white light gathered, two six-winged angels raised their giant swords and slashed forward at the same time.
“Huh~!”
Wang Zixuan, who was wearing light armor, drew his bow and aimed. The magic pattern on his arm shone with light, and he whispered softly, "【Meteoric Sun】!"
Zheng~!
The arrow was fired, and arrived a thousand meters away in an instant, aiming directly at Anno behind the shadow troops.
Boom!
When Anno raised his sword to block, the arrow exploded violently, and the rolling fireworks enveloped Anno.
"【Summon the Wind Elemental King】!"
As Annuo summoned the Wind Elemental King, the flames around him were instantly blown away.
But Xiao Huihui's biological magic crystal cannon had already fired a shot at Anno.
“Roar~!”
Among the summoned creatures standing behind Anno, several ninth-level dragon scorpions roared and fired [Tail Sting Cannon] at the same time to intercept the magic crystal shells.
Boom!
The magic crystal shells and tail stinger cannons exploded in the center of the two sides, and the shock wave forced the shadows around them to disperse.
“Roar~!”
A ferocious blood tiger took the opportunity to rush out from the smoke and dust and approached An Nuo.
Adelaide, Lu Zhishang and others were trying to stop the incoming shadow troops to buy time for Xue Feibai.
"Although we can have an advantage in quantity, we cannot compare in quality. And when there are only a dozen targets, the advantage in quantity cannot be expanded into an advantage in the battle situation."
An Nuo understood from the battle situation that the shadow troops were no match for Xue Feibai and others on their own, so he raised his hand and clenched his fist towards the summoned creatures behind him.
The summoning legion immediately understood what Annuo meant.
The shadows who were fighting in the front suddenly began to charge fearlessly.
"Oh no, it's the [Power of the King]!"
Seeing this, Sasier and Adelaide immediately understood what these shadows were planning to do.
The shadow has only one-third of the maximum magic power of the summoned creature, and the power of [Power of the King] when used may only be the power of the eighth level.
But self-destruct skills are different from ordinary skills.
Normal skills can be dodged.
The self-preservation skill is to rush in front of you and explode.
You can't hide from them unless you shoot them from a distance.
Geng Qingxue immediately flew to Xue Feibai with the three fire phoenixes, circling around him continuously to form a protective shield.
Golden light emanated from Lu Zhishang, and a golden dragon emerged from his body.
The people around immediately ran to Lu Zhishang.
Then the dragon formed a giant bell.
The demon pig Xiao Huihui also realized the danger, opened the shell on his back, and let Ragiel, Trollope and Makaros jump in. Then the shell closed again, ignoring the shadow troops rushing over from all around, and continued to charge towards Anno.
The rest of the people also showed their special abilities, preparing to resist the self-destruction of thousands of shadow troops.
Boom~!
The dazzling white balls gathered into a huge white ball.
The originally bright sky suddenly darkened, and it seemed as if the world was about to end.
Dense cracks appeared on the compacted ground, and countless stones that were shaken into the air were swept by the strong wind and then turned into ashes in the collision of energy.
"this……"
The demon Buck behind Anno immediately stood in front of Anno to block the shock wave.
But when Buck saw the bright ball of light in front of him that he couldn't look directly at, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
The master's subordinates...can they survive such an attack?
Swoosh!
An Nuo suddenly turned around and drew his sword to block the hidden stab from behind.
Meng Xin's attack failed, and she panicked and quickly retreated.
But it was too late.
A group of assassination summons behind An Nuo suddenly jumped up and intercepted Meng Xin who was retreating.
"Meng Xin, I have seen all your covert actions. Assassination is meaningless."
As soon as An Nuo finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.
"Yeah?"
Meng Xin's voice came to his ears, and the cold light of the dagger pointed directly at An Nuo's exposed eyes. Just a stab hard would end An Nuo's life.
Meng Xin, who was being hunted by other summoned creatures, was just a shadow clone.
"I know you were able to see through my Divine Protection [Shadow] before, but you didn't care about me enough to know about the subsequent growth of my Divine Protection."
Meng Xin leaned over and stepped on An Nuo's back and said faintly, "In fact, I have already tried to use the protection [Shadow] in front of you. Since I was promoted to the seventh level, you have been unable to detect me."
