Chapter 502: Taking Over the Battle
Aside from the spreading fireballs, stone balls, poisonous fog, and flame domains.
Swarms of terrifying A+ grade parasitic insects surged toward the ghost slaves like a tidal wave!
No one even knew when he had summoned these A+ grade parasitic insects!
Wherever they passed, all that remained were the ghost slaves' white bones.
Their flesh was devoured clean by the insects, a sight so shocking it seemed exaggerated!
After the insects swept through.
A fused elemental storm followed, once again unfolding before everyone's eyes!
A series of magical storms representing different elements swept across, shredding all the ghost slaves completely!
He's gone mad with killing!
Truly mad with killing!
Everyone was in utter shock, watching as Ling Zhan never stopped casting skills!
And it was clear that his basic skills required no casting time, and even those advanced skills that needed chanting were flawlessly performed.
You couldn't see even the slightest hesitation or sluggishness in his spellcasting!
At this moment, he was more of a mage than any mage could be!
The members of the Dragon Kingdom's Ninth Squad, who originally wanted to support their captain, could only watch in stunned silence as their captain went on a killing spree, gasping in disbelief!
Zhou Xue'er's pretty face had gone completely numb!
She suddenly recalled how she had once thought about giving this newly assigned captain a hard time!
Now, she realized how childish and ridiculous that idea had been!
If she had really gone through with her plan back then, perhaps, under his broad-mindedness, he wouldn't have held it against her.
But if she had angered him, Zhou Xue'er felt that her fate would have been truly miserable.
Saying he wouldn't hold grudges...
In reality, Zhou Xue'er had already figured out the captain's personality and temperament.
Cold!
He was someone who was extremely cold to others!
Perhaps only close friends or family who entered his heart could see his gentle side!
His attitude toward everyone wasn't just cold, it was indifferent!
Because in his eyes, it seemed like he truly didn't care about anyone!
He hadn't even bothered those senior members who had doubted him.
He just ignored them!
Complete and utter disregard!
Zhou Xue'er glanced at the figure still waving his staff, casting with perfect precision, and took a deep breath.
"What are you all standing around for?"
"The captain is on the frontlines killing enemies, and are we just going to stand here watching?"
"Get out there and fight!!"
Zhou Xue'er shouted loudly.
As her words fell.
She charged straight into the battlefield!
"Brothers! Get out there! Don't hide in the safe zone!"
"If we keep standing here, we'll lose all the merits!"
At this moment.
The adventurer legion's general also shouted angrily.
Commanding his men to rush into battle.
Adventurers came here to level up, get stronger, and make money.
Merits could be exchanged for many things.
And merits could only be earned by killing enemies or completing tasks issued by the Hundred Ghost Fortress' joint council of nations.
Now.
For many adventurers, this battle was an opportunity to rack up merits.
The most terrifying ghost slave generals had already been ruthlessly slain by the non-specialist.
And some had fled, cowardly and terrified.
Now...
All that remained were the ghost slaves, which could serve as experience fodder!
"Charge!!"
The adventurer corps members threw caution to the wind and charged madly at the ghost slave army!
And even the national legions couldn't sit still.
They urgently requested their captains to lead the charge because at Ling Zhan's current killing speed, soon enough, there would be nothing left!
The key was that every time one of his spirit beasts was overwhelmed and killed by ghost slaves, he instantly summoned several more!
To the point where it was clear that the number of spirit beasts in Ling Zhan's army kept increasing!
From a distance, it looked like an enormous bulldozer, plowing through the ghost slaves!
All across the horizon, there were only the towering figures of those massive spirit beasts!
"Brothers! Charge with me!"
Soon...
The national legion captains ordered their squads to charge!
What had originally been a cautious city siege battle.
Had now completely shifted after Ling Zhan led his squad to destroy Liuli City's defensive system and special portal.
The tide had turned entirely in their favor.
Especially...
After Ling Zhan appeared at the enemy's rear alone, wiped out countless ghost slaves, and precisely killed the ghost slave generals, the siege battle had transformed into a race to grab experience!
The once-cautious legion members now threw themselves into battle with full force!
Brilliant magic skills exploded amidst the ghost slave hordes.
Sword energy and arrows tore through the air, piercing through the ghost slaves!
Under the fierce onslaught of the national legions and adventurer corps.
Observing from the sky, the reconnaissance aircraft could see it clearly—like mowing grass, the national legion members were in front while Ling Zhan's army of spirit beasts was behind.
Together, they surrounded and attacked the tens of millions of ghost slaves!
And they cleared them out with incredible speed!
The ghost slaves had no ability to resist; they could only wait to be slaughtered!
By this point.
The battle was already coming to an end.
The routed ghost slave legion.
The brave and aggressive national legions.
When compared side by side.
The outcome was only a matter of time.
"Looking at it this way..."
"We should thank that damn Takamagahara! These ghost slaves are practically delivering experience to us!"
"Yeah! But we should also be grateful to that non-specialist from the Dragon Kingdom! Without him, this battle wouldn't have been so easy!"
"Right! It's terrifying! Can you believe this guy is only level-60?"
"..."
The various personnel couldn't help but reflect and discuss.
Especially those who had previously mocked the Dragon Kingdom for appointing a non-specialist as their new captain, now stood red-faced, heads lowered in shame.
It was a complete slap in the face.
And the worst part was, they had no way to refute it!
"If the top reserves from the various nations learned how fearsome this non-specialist is, there'd be another fierce competition for sure!"
"No need to wait. Once this battle ends, just take a look at the merit rankings!"
"Someone's definitely going to get overtaken by this guy!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Though they shared a common enemy in the forbidden zones.
The legions still had a strong sense of competition among themselves.
Now that this non-specialist had taken over the battle with an invincible stance, his merit count would be massive.
By then...
It would definitely be something worth watching!
