The attacker moves high above the nine heavens, while the defender hides deep beneath the nine earths.
Chico beside me exclaimed in surprise, "Earth Disappear! There really is earth Disappear!"
Lanx frowned and said, "During the public test, some people reported that the Taoist priest was too weak. The Heaven Extreme Company said that the Taoist priest had another elemental teleportation skill that players hadn't discovered yet. I never thought I would see it today."
Baxter said, "Perhaps this is just a part of a combined technique. If it's done by one person alone, I'm afraid that even that young man, at his current level, wouldn't be able to use the teleportation technique."
Our attention remained focused on the battlefield. We saw that the aura on the god of magic flickered, and what he had previously recited was actually "Fire Wheel Dance"!
The god of magic's feet were caught, and even if he wanted to use spatial transfer, he couldn't. So, Columbine's previous request that the god of magic not use spatial transfer was actually just a ruse. The purpose was to make the god of magic think that they had no way to deal with spatial transfer. It was truly cunning.
The god of magic didn't know if he was truly very trustworthy or if he had anticipated that the spatial transfer would fail and thus had begun reciting "Fire Wheel Dance" from the very beginning.
The Fire Wheel Dance was extremely damaging to close-range players, but judging from the might of the dragon shadow in the sky, before the Fire Wheel killed Columbine, the god of magic must have been instantly killed.
However, the tender hands on the ground couldn't withstand the burn of the Fire Wheel Dance. We saw a series of -280 and -260 numbers popping up, and within a second, the young man beneath the ground had lost over eight hundred HP!
The young man was clearly using a quick-acting blood medicine to sustain himself, and the Columbine father-son duo seemed to have been prepared for this.
The dragon shadow had descended upon the god of magic's head, and the Fire Wheel Dance melted the external qi of the dragon shadow, revealing Columbine inside. We saw that Columbine was completely covered in a layer of metallic luster, like the flickering of sword light, and a clear and sharp sword chant rang out in Baxter, thirsting for human blood!
Honey gasped, "It's a human-sword combination! That's a skill available only at level 60 for warriors. This old man has actually learned it!"
Baxter said, "He didn't know it himself. It's the power of the combined technique. When two people combine, they generate much stronger power than usual! Unfortunately, our brother's combined technique is not as powerful as theirs. It depends on the intimacy!"
The time for speaking passed in an instant, and the victory or defeat in the battle was decided.
The god of magic quickly turned his head to the side, avoiding the vital part of his head, and the long sword pierced through his shoulder. The precious equipment was cut open by the platinum long sword, as easily as tofu.
But in this instant, with a cry of surprise, the hands in the earth suddenly disappeared!
Columbine on the half-air suddenly trembled all over, the sword light dimmed on his body, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth!
A number floated from the god of magic's head, -600, but the sword had stopped.
The quick-acting blood medicine quickly replenished the god of magic's blood, and the Fire Wheel Dance turned Columbine into a white light in less than two seconds.
The battle situation changed so abruptly that we were all stunned.
Honey said blankly, "Well, did that kid in the earth die?"
I shook my head, "I didn't see the white light."
Columbine appeared from the resurrection point behind us, pale-faced, with his lips tightly closed, saying nothing.
The members of the mercenary group had retreated to the village. In a short while, the young man also flew back.
Columbine stared at the young man quietly, and the young man's face turned bright red: "Dad, my... my blood dropped too quickly. I was scared, so I let go..."
Among the members of the mercenary group, there was some commotion, and most people had unhappy expressions on their faces. After making so many sacrifices, all of them were ruined in the hands of the young man at that moment. No one could accept it easily. Columbine looked at the teenager: "The recovery speed of the quick-acting blood medicine might be slightly slower than Firewheel Dance, but if you take a handful of top-grade blood medicine beforehand and the priest adds a healing spell for you, you should be able to withstand it. It was my mistake."
The teenager's face turned even redder, and his head drooped even lower. Columbine continued: "Even if the speed doesn't keep up, you can still hold out for a little longer. Next time, remember this."
Columbine looked up at the sky and after a long while said: "Courage can't be developed in a day or two. I brought you here to train you, so I wanted to test your courage. I hope you can correct your timid nature here!"
Columbine looked at his team members again: "I have made a promise to the opponent. If we fail, we will give up the mission. Do you have any objections?"
The mercenaries shouted in unison: "Follow the leader's command!"
Columbine turned her head and saw my furrowed brow, then looked at the god of fate walking towards the village. She smiled slightly: "Lord, if we continue to form a formation to defend, I believe the god of fate won't dare to attack. Do you think so?"
I looked into his eyes and sighed: "What do you mean...?"
Columbine smiled: "Lord, you really understand my meaning. If you are willing to pay 500 gold coins, our mercenaries will stay in your village for half an hour longer. At that time, the players who were distracted and the Hai Tian team should have already returned back to the village."
I took a deep breath and half an hour, exchanging the risk of the god of fate not approaching the village, could basically preserve the village. 500 gold coins, it should be worth it.
Perhaps the buildings of the village don't add up to 500 gold coins, but I have invested too much in this place. Even if I ask for 5,000 gold coins, I might still agree.
But I finally refused Columbine. Somehow, now I strongly wanted to fight the god of fate!
I was almost certain that the god of fate was an intelligent program. I had seen some of its killing techniques. I used to be an expert player who played against computer intelligence. My village had three magic arrays that I had built myself, and I had loyal friends... With so many favorable conditions, if I didn't fight the god of fate in a real battle, I couldn't bear it!
So many players had been defeated in front of the god of fate, which also made me afraid. But it also aroused the blood in my heart. I was the strongest player!
Shake had left a shadow in my heart, which pushed me to the point of breathlessness and made me lose my former confidence and aggression. Today, I would seek it back in the god of fate!
I shook my head at Columbine. My expression was very calm, without showing the slightest tension. Columbine was stunned.
Suddenly, there was a glimmer in Columbine's eyes, and she murmured: "Seeing your current expression, I suddenly remembered a player I met when I first played the game twenty-two years ago... Ah, look at me, I'm being incoherent."
Columbine turned around and raised her hand: "All listen, leave the village and gather at Sunset City!"
I watched Columbine's back and perhaps, twenty years ago, he had seen me in a certain game? However, I was definitely unable to remember it. At that time, I had never put other players in my eyes, nor did I have any friends. All I had in my mind was level grinding and treasure hunting.
The god of fate walked slowly towards the village, only fifty meters away from the outer houses of the village. The dozens of players in the village began to panic and run home to gather the most valuable items, while the outsiders also retreated.
The special lookout who had come out of the temple shouted: "Brother, I'm here!"
I turned around and shouted: "Go back, take care of your temple, that's your job!"
The special lookout had never seen my so cold and decisive expression before. He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, Bai Yu emerged from a civilian house, with something being pulled by a rope behind him, like a vehicle. The sound of wheels could be heard on the ground, and a piece of canvas was covering the vehicle.
Bai Yu asked calmly, "War?"
I replied calmly, "Yes!"
At some point, I and Bai Yu became the same kind of person.
The god of fate was still forty paces away. Lankes let out a long cry and summoned his second horse: "Boy, no, you are some lord, right? Do you need my help?"
I smiled calmly: "As you wish."
Chico's body trembled excitedly: "I... I suddenly feel very nervous, big brother. Do you also want me to join the battle?"
I smiled again: "No!"
The Senorita let out a sigh, looking at us: "I am only level 20, a priest. Do you need me?"
I nodded at her: "Heal me."
At this moment, four players came to me one after another: "Let's go together. We are all villagers. We will not allow our homes to be destroyed like this!"
"I am 'Blood Wolf'!" "My name is 'Familir'." "My name is 'Cotcha'." "I am 'Black Sea Eagle'!"
Thirty paces away, the system's prompt suddenly came from the sky: "The 'War God Statue' has been completed. All players in this village will gain +1 strength, and the chances of explosion and lethality will slightly increase!"
The roar of the Tiger King rang out: "I finally carved out the statue of the god, I have reached the next level!"
The Tiger King walked over from behind us, laughing with a hint of exhaustion on his face: "It's still too late, I'm here!"
In the center of the village, a stone statue was erected, holding a sword and shield, with swords all over its body, looking solemn and having a divine aura. Power emanated from the statue.
Honey screamed: "Boss, I admire you so much!"
The Tiger King smiled: "It's just the lowest-level statue, the effect is mediocre, hehe."
Baxter looked sad: "Tiger King, you are abusing the authority given to you by the lord. That piece of land is a prime location. I'm planning to ask the lord to grant me permission to build a shop!"
The hundreds of players behind us watched as the god of fate got closer and closer. We were still chatting and laughing there, all of us staring in astonishment.
I smiled and looked at everyone, then pointed to some directions in the village with my finger, explaining my tactical plan to them. Everyone's face immediately showed confidence and excitement.
The god of fate was approaching to twenty paces away!
Lankes tightened his reins on the horse, the white horse stood up, and let out a long cry, gathering energy was already starting.
Suddenly, the figure of "Blood Wolf" disappeared among the houses, using the stealth of an assassin.
"Familir" was a magic warrior, he added various support spells to himself.
"Cotcha" was a knight, he took out the 38th-level assassin's weapon "Blowpipe" and aimed it.
"The Black Sea Eagle" flew up on the eagle, he was a knight, ready to charge from the sky at any time.
Chico held a wooden sword in one hand, no, an ashwood sword, copper level. The other hand held a piece of parchment, his body was still shaking nervously, but he still didn't forget to glance at Senorita from time to time.
Senorita was the one who least cared about the battle. She looked around and seemed to have no interest in the upcoming fierce battle.
Honey didn't have a knife in her hand, but was holding two bags of iron sand there and giggling stupidly.
The Tiger King closed his eyes, pointed at the ground with his sword, and Converged into a mountain-like solidified force, he didn't know if he had also comprehended "Heart Union Technique"?
Baxter brothers put aside their teasing expressions, their expressions were solemn, but they didn't take out weapons. Instead, their four hands were clasped together.
Bai Yu slowly pulled the canvas covering the vehicle behind him open, revealing the original appearance - a crossbow vehicle!
On the huge crossbow vehicle, there were thousands of powerful crossbows, all pointing at the god of fate, forming a fan shape, with an attack range of up to fifty paces and covering 240 degrees! Such a large project, it's no wonder that Bai Yu didn't show up for several hours.
The crossbow vehicle slowly moved to our front, but the expression on the god of fate's face didn't change at all. He got closer!
As the protective shield passed over the village, the god of magic's body shook slightly, but soon recovered. The shield was merely to prevent monsters from invading and did not have the function of harming any player.
There were still eighteen steps to the residential buildings, and another twenty-five steps from our current location.
If the god of magic acted now, he could already set fire to the two residential buildings at the outermost part of the village. One more step and he would be attacked by the magic pillars I had built. However, the god of magic stopped and frowned, carefully examining the three magic pillars in our village.
I had long stopped being surprised by all of the god of magic's actions, so it was not strange that he could calculate the attack range of the magic pillars. I extended my hand and signaled everyone not to move. Even if the god of magic burned those two residential buildings, we would not intervene. We needed him to come closer!
The god of magic did indeed start chanting. It seemed that he really wanted to set fire to those two residential buildings to lure us out of the protection range of the magic pillars.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded, it was the harp, and then, Senorita's voice: "It's too stuffy, I can't stand it. Can you sing for us?"
