Chapter 154 Attack the Chaos Gate!
Luo Yan discovered the secret of this world a long time ago.
Although all the gods in this world were born with different intentions, they all play the same role without exception -
That is to act as an anchor to calm people's chaotic spirits.
After all, this world is different from Earth.
There is indeed a substance on this planet that can respond to spiritual power, and this substance directly or indirectly gives people the power to make their wishes come true.
This power is both a gift and a curse.
With this power, people in this world not only created the concept of magic, but also created many extraordinary powers that are not inferior to magic.
These extraordinary powers can help people realize their wishes that may not be realized even in industrial society at a very small cost, allowing all races living on this planet to stand on the shoulders of the Creator.
At the same time, these extraordinary powers can easily wipe people off the planet - if most people make the wrong wishes.
The fate of the planet Chao is a typical example.
Unlike the other races living on the continent of Os, the rational part of the Kao people's spiritual world lost to the chaotic part, and allowed the chaos from the universe to dominate their spirits in turn.
Normal people kept dying or being assimilated by the other side in the killing.
Ultimately, the legacy of civilization continued to disappear in death again and again, replaced by flames that destroyed everything and scorched earth burned by the flames.
Perhaps there are more profound reasons and details, but in the final analysis these reasons can be summarized as they cannot control the power they possess.
This is the case for most of the people targeted by Kalmandes.
They are often fanatical warriors, ruthless warlords and arsonists. They go to the battlefield for profit or honor, but eventually lose themselves in the repeated killings, forget their original intentions, and become what they call "destroyers."
Due to the peculiarities in Kalmandus' divinity, the possibility of being targeted by him is much greater than that of being targeted by the other three Chaos Gods.
It is for this reason that the corrosion of Kalmandes is often the easiest to occur and spread, and it is almost impossible to prevent in this world with a relatively backward level of civilization.
There is only one way to resist His corruption——
That is to defeat faith with faith, rather than obeying the instinct to kill!
The fifth level of the maze.
Holding a battle axe, Xino Dragun put on the Hades Armor given to him by Luo Yan and once again stepped onto the familiar battlefield.
The difference from before was that this time he was no longer trying to win or lose against anyone, nor was he trying to prove himself to anyone or to please anyone.
He stood here with his weapon in hand, just for the faith in his heart! "Your Majesty the Demon God..."
He took a deep breath, clenched the battle axe in his hand, put aside all distracting thoughts, and completely entered a state of selflessness.
Maybe it’s because my head is relatively empty.
The process was easier than he had imagined.
As he gradually emptied his spiritual world, retaining only the purest part of his faith, the chaotic fire burning in his sea of consciousness suddenly lost its shape, like a candlelight swaying in the wind!
A hint of understanding appeared on Shino Dragun's face, and then that expression of understanding turned into an unprecedented piety.
Luo Yan had told him this before he left.
If you feel that the demon god is too far away, then temporarily treat me as your lord and offer me your soul that has nowhere to go.
This is better than selling your soul to Chaos and letting Chaos blind your eyes! Facing the dark army of Kao people, Xino raised the battle axe in his hand and let out a deafening roar.
"For the Necropolis—"
"For the Demon King!!!"
The deep and rumbling roar even drowned out the war drums of the Blood Blade Clan!
As he swung the axe, all that was left in his heart was devotion to the devil and the demon king, and he rushed towards the mighty army alone!
It was this action of his that completely ignited the fuse between the two opposing armies, causing the flames of war to boil! Standing in the flames, the Black Knight silently raised his sword, and the khal warriors following behind him roared bloodthirsty roars as if they had received an order.
"Kao!!!"
The roar was like the howling of thousands of evil spirits. As the burning sword was swung down, it instantly rushed towards Xino like a flood! The battle was about to begin! Looking at the back of the man who was fighting against thousands of troops alone, countless onlookers were infected by his momentum and their expressions were slightly moved.
At this moment, a line of dark green pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of all the players——
[Limited time event: Final battle in the bloody arena! ]
[Explanation: Kasen Skullbreaker has surrendered to Chaos and is burning the flames of destruction towards us! Now is the time to fight back and bring death to them!]
[Goal: Kill all creatures from chaos! Defeat them completely! ]
For players, there is no need for pre-war mobilization at all. An announcement announcing the start of the event is worth a thousand words.
Especially when the rewards of the event were posted below the announcement, those ugly and hateful khals instantly became walking ghost money in their eyes! There is no need for His Majesty the Demon King to say more -
They are ready to offer their loyalty!
"Charge!!!" With a high-spirited shout, a lizardman player drew his weapon and took the lead in charging.
At the same time as he took a step forward, the skeleton soldiers standing behind him drew their weapons and rushed towards the Chaos position with creaking shouts!
Not just lizardmen, but also stonemen, little demons, zombies transformed from various creatures, eight-legged crypt spiders, and so on.
A variety of races gathered together, forming a jagged torrent in the wilderness. Although they looked like a mob from a distance, their indomitable momentum made them look like they had no sense of disobedience! They were more like chaos than chaos.
Closer to a natural disaster than a natural disaster!
Hearing the shouts and screams coming from behind him, Shino Dragun felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he felt a powerful force supporting him.
That was the power of faith! He could feel that the monsters following him were just as loyal and faithful to the Demon King as he was! That was why they would not be contaminated by Kalmandus! They were not here to kill—
But fight for the beliefs in your heart!
At the same time, on the Blood Blade Clan’s position, Zack, wearing armor, walked up to Grak and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Captain, the Demon King's army has begun to charge. Should we follow them?"
Grak did not hesitate, he simply raised the double-edged battle axe in his hand and roared at the Chaos army that was sweeping across the earth like a sandstorm.
"kill!!!"
Thousands of roars gathered behind him.
The orc soldiers struck their weapons on their breastplates, and let out murderous roars amid the clanging sound of metal.
"kill!!!"
As Grak pointed his battle axe forward, the mighty army began to advance, like a steel torrent rolling on the ground! Looking at the murderous orc army, the night elves standing on the edge of the battlefield felt their blood boiling in their chests and were infected by their momentum.
Especially Tyrael.
He had followed Reggie Dragun through life and death and had experienced countless battles, big and small, but he had never seen such cohesion in the Demon King's army! The maze of Thunder County had never been so united! In the past, they were more like a group of tribes fighting each other, but now there was an invisible rope that tied them all together! Including the Demon King himself.
A crazy idea even came to Tyrael's mind -
Now, even if they face the regular army of the Oss Empire, there is no reason for them to lose!
Of course, they had no reason to provoke the empire.
“Shoot!”
A loud shout resounded at the front of the battlefield. Shirley, who was riding a sika deer in the front, shot an arrow first, and the archers following closely behind her also released their bowstrings one after another.
Hundreds of sharp arrows formed black nets in the air, drawing beautiful parabolas and smashing down on the heads of the Chaos army!
Facing the rain of arrows, in just a few breaths, the charging Kao people fell down like wheat being cut! But unfortunately, their numbers were too large, and the casualties of just a few hundred people were of no concern to them at all!
Especially behind them, the Chaos Gate engraved on the earth like a raging flame is still sending reinforcements in a steady stream!
Even though the quality of Kalmandes' army was far inferior to that of the monsters in the Weird Mist.
But in terms of numbers, the servants of the Flame of Destruction are absolutely ahead!
In addition to the reinforcements from the planet Kao, the ogres corrupted by Chaos were also waving their clubs and rushing towards the night elves! Compared to those Kao people who set foot on a foreign land to fight, they knew better how to deal with these pointy ears and were better at dealing with them! Shirley threw the magic ball at her waist into the air, and with the energy stored in the magic ball, she poured out dozens of shadow arrows wrapped in green light towards the front.
The creatures shot by the shadow arrows reawakened as undead, attacking the living around them indiscriminately! This trick was very useful in small-scale battles, but in this kind of legion-level confrontation, these few undead seemed a bit stretched.
The corpses corroded by the Netherworld energy didn't even have time to crawl up from the ground before they were trampled into meat paste by the army that followed!
Seeing the ogre only a few dozen steps away, Shirley, riding on the back of a sika deer, did not dare to fight. She blew a whistle with her index finger and thumb, put away the magic ball and quickly retreated with her people.
The ogres, who were about to catch up, would not sit idly by and watch them escape. They raised their short axes and threw them at the night elf archers.
The densely packed hatchets were like locusts flying all over the sky, and the sudden burst of momentum was no less than the rain of arrows that poured down earlier! Helen, who was supporting from a distance, immediately raised the two-handed staffs in her hands with the spellcasters behind her and chanted a defensive spell.
The emerald green light sprinkled on the retreat route of Shirley and other archers. Countless vines, like tentacles rising from the ground, weaved into an impenetrable net in the air!
Thousands of axes hit the impenetrable vine net hard and were all intercepted, leaving only scars on the vine net.
Shirley cast a grateful look at her sister, then made a face at the ogres that were getting farther and farther away behind her, and completely distanced herself from them.
Just as she was about to lead her people to circle back to the flank of the Chaos Army and unleash another wave of arrows, suddenly, faint green light appeared above her head, accompanied by a piercing buzzing sound!
Before she could come to her senses, something had happened. The beams of light had already fallen from the sky like meteors, heavily hitting the chaotic position!
"boom--!"
The instantaneous exploding demonic light was like magma erupting from a volcano, raging on the chaotic battlefield!
The shock wave of the explosion instantly swept away the charging Kao people like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves! Broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and when the dust cleared, only a bloody mess remained! This bloody scene shocked everyone.
Whether it was the black knight holding his sword high, Grak leading the charge, or Xino Dragun who was alone in the deep, they were all shocked by the amazing firepower.
"What is this?!" Looking at the blooming magic light, Shirley widened her eyes in surprise and almost fell off the fawn's back.
Not only was she surprised, but Helen, who was standing in the group of mages, also had a stunned expression on her face, her mouth open, unable to speak.
However, unlike Shirley, her position on the battlefield was relatively close to the rear, so she could see clearly the source of the magic light.
It was a group of rock golems and goblins.
They appeared there at some unknown time, and they placed a row of twelve cannon barrels on the ground! The magic light that tore everything apart was emitted from the black cannon barrels.
However, looking at the group of screaming goblins, she could not imagine that these guys who could not use magic could burst out such terrifying power.
Are these guys really goblins?!
It doesn’t seem to be——
I saw a short guy shouting fanatically, urging his people to keep loading magic crystals into the barrels.
"Coward!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"The Demon King is watching us!"
“Hurry up!!!”
Negative? Helen had a puzzled look on her face, and she was even more confused.
What kind of thing is that? Just as Helen was at a loss, the Goblin artillerymen who had reloaded their weapons poured out another round of barrages! The energy released by these twelve rays of magic light, in terms of both lethality and energy density, far exceeded the chants of ordinary mage groups! As this round of barrages descended on the earth, the players wielding a variety of weapons finally collided with the army of Chaos!
"Brothers! Charge! Aoaoao!!!" Long Xing Wanli shouted excitedly, riding the No. 1 pig in the country under his crotch and violently ramming the Chaos Warrior blocking the way.
The harpoon in his hand thrust left and right, and after a few strikes, he had pierced a dozen Chaos warriors' bodies with bloody holes!
Or the kind that can't be healed! A group of Long Xing Tian Xia people with unified format IDs followed closely behind Long Xing Wan Li and quickly filled the gap in the Chaos Army's front line.
Long Xing Qianli, holding a sword and shield, commanded calmly, trying his best to prevent the boss from leaving the team and going too far alone.
Long Xing Baili, who was riding a spider, was holding a magic gun, constantly repeating the actions of firing and reloading. Each shot could steadily take away a Chaos Warrior! Looking at the rising experience, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Fuck, bro! This thing is much better than a bow and arrow!"
Wanli, who was in the middle of an intense fight, had no time to deal with this guy.
In just a few breaths, he had already gained more than a dozen scars on his body as he went deep into the enemy's territory alone! The confrontation between legions was different from team-based monster hunting. The role of individual bravery would be compressed to the extreme. Even if he had bronze-level strength, he would find it difficult to withstand the continuous onslaught of a group of people.
But even so, what does it matter? Isn't he playing this game just to experience the feeling of galloping on the battlefield?
Looking at the bloody scales, Long Xingwanli's face not only did not show a trace of fear, but instead revealed an unruly laugh.
"Hahahaha! Just in time!"
As he finished speaking, several more wounds appeared on his body.
Just when Long Xing Wanli was fighting more and more bravely, the brother from the national server who was being ridden under him could hardly hold on any longer, and his eight legs were chopped into six.
Looking at this fearless masochist, the Chinese server brother shouted in tears and laughter.
"Brother! My health bar is really running out! How about you go to the back and rest for a while, and then we can fight again when I come back with my corpse?"
Long Xing Wanli was suddenly startled and realized that his brother was only half dead.
"Shit! Why are you pulling like that?"
"..." Brother Guofu almost vomited blood, but considering the multiple copies given by the sponsor, he finally held it back.
Not far from the two of them, Yi Ye Zhi Qiu and Hu Wan, who had returned to the cemetery from the planet Kao, were moving forward steadily.
Unlike Long Xing Tian Xia and his men, they did not rush into the battlefield hastily, but tried their best to ensure that the enemy was only in one direction and killed as many of the enemy's manpower as possible.
This is the most efficient approach.
Whether from the perspective of the entire battle situation, or from the perspective of experience gain and obtaining as many mission rewards as possible.
After a period of practice, Yiye Zhiqiu has thoroughly mastered several basic lethal spells. His means of attack are no longer limited to releasing fireballs. He can also skillfully use buff and debuff magic to create windows for attack in battle!
The players showed off their skills on the battlefield, using various strange tactics and relying on their disorganized fighting style, they managed to beat the Chaos army into a daze for a while.
Although their tactics were not always reliable, the experience they had accumulated from the previous battles eventually played a role.
The two sides' lines soon became entangled with each other, with you in me and me in you, and the most brutal fighting stage began!
Xino felt his heart pounding as he charged through the army.
Just as he swung his battle axe left and right, a hoarse and cruel whisper suddenly sounded from the depths of his heart, tearing at his spirit!
'Kill them all!'
"Kill everyone—"
'Feed me with their souls, delight me, and I will give you more—'
"No——!" Xino's stubborn roar interrupted the whisper coming from the depths of his soul, and at the same time dispelled the ghost lingering in his heart.
After taking a breath, he raised the battle axe in his hand and swung it forward with all his might, splitting the surrounding Kao soldiers in two, and then shouted loudly.
"For the Demon King!!!"
The magical thing was that after he shouted like this, the ghost that was tearing his spirit apart really disappeared.
The hot blood was spilled on his body, but there was not the slightest hesitation in his heart.
Just as Luo Yan speculated, being targeted by Chaos was because he had lost the anchor for his spirit, in other words, he had lost his faith.
In that case, I can just help him install the anchor.
This happens to be the Demon King's territory.
As a person with complete godhood, he can indeed respond to his prayers better than the devil.
Just as the Demon King's army was fighting fiercely with Chaos, the orc army led by Grak also penetrated the chaotic battlefield from the front.
As the backbone of the old Demon King's army, this group of orc soldiers possessed outstanding endurance and resilience, and they were able to knock down large numbers of Kao warriors with just one contact.
"roar--!"
Grak roared and swung his axe to smash a dozen bodies, while his eyes were fixed on the black knight holding the sword.
The black knight also set his sights on this dangerous guy, and he drove his burning warhorse towards him, swinging his sword! The double-edged battle axe and the burning sword collided, and dazzling sparks burst out amid the sound of metal clashing!
In just a few seconds, the two sides had fought each other for more than a dozen rounds, and for a while they were evenly matched!
On the other side, the swarm of insects led by Valgur, who was spewing frost, followed the orc army and reached the edge of the battlefield.
The mountain-like frost beetle didn't say a word, but just charged forward with its head buried, dividing the entire battlefield like a rampaging dump truck!
Faced with the sudden war beast, countless Cao warriors were knocked away by its huge horns and fell heavily dozens of meters away!
At the same time, a swarm of insects followed his footsteps and rushed in, fighting with the Chaos army.
Looking at the giant insect that was as big as a mountain, the Cao warriors let out roars. Although they were not afraid of fighting, they were helpless against it.
However, the arrogant Valgur did not remain proud for long.
Just as he was charging forward, a group of pterosaur cavalry suddenly emerged from the cracks engraved on the ground!
The wingspan of those pterosaurs was five or six meters long, and their conical faces and slender necks looked like sickles flying in the sky from a distance!
The rider sitting astride the pterosaur's back quickly rushed to the top of Valgur's head and dropped burning fire pots from the sky like a bomber.
The fire cups hit Valgur's head and back accurately. The rapidly spreading flames covered half of his body in an instant, causing him to howl in pain.
The huge body twisted and knocked away the surrounding targets without distinguishing between friend and foe.
At the same time, frosty breath spurted out of Valgur's mouth, trying to extinguish the boiling flames.
However, at this moment, a thick iron chain suddenly shot out from the chaotic army formation and entangled the ivory-like horns on Valgur's head like a hook.
Valgur roared and tried to break free from the chains, but found that the chains were firmly nailed to the ground and did not move at all.
In a rage, he immediately looked in the direction of the chain, and saw a two-meter-tall ogre standing there, holding the chain in his hand.
There was a half-meter-long suture scar on the fat belly, which looked like a gaping bloody mouth from a distance.
The ogre was grinning at him, his eyes looking like he was looking at his prey.
Being looked at in such a way by this ugly but tiny thing, Valgur instantly became furious and charged at him with his head buried.
However, something happened that he did not expect. The ogre took advantage of the situation and pulled the chain in his hand and leaped forward, using the force to jump directly onto his head.
Valgur shook his head to try to throw him off, but he did not move at all while holding the chain. He even used his free hand to grab the rusty blade and stabbed it hard into his head.
"roar--!"
Valgur roared in pain, and the majesty of the platinum-level monster was gone! At the same time he roared, Xino Dragun suddenly saw the figure standing above him, and his eyes suddenly shone with surprise.
That guy is none other than——
It was Kasen Skullbreaker who was chopped in two by his axe! This guy is still alive?! He couldn't help but exclaimed.
"This is impossible!"
