Chapter 210: I Am Invincible With My Blade
On a cliff that was 80 meters tall, Humans, Elves, Half-Elves, Seraphkin, Dwarfs, and Tauren Warriors were gathering.
They were equipped with armor and battle swords.
In the current situation, even Fiu Roeser had no intention to retreat. Retreat meant death and the destruction of his race.
The war commenced.
The second wave of dark creatures was more powerful than the first. And even though half of the creatures perished at the base of the cliff and due to the traps on the cliff wall, thousands of dark creatures still managed to reach the top.
Fiu Roeser might not be the toughest warrior
But in his heart, there was a threshold.
He led 6,000 Tauren Warriors in defending a 3000-meter city wall. Tough and thick hide made the Tauren Warriors resilient. With the external armor protection, their defenses were incredibly high.
The Tauren Warriors wielded battleaxes and warhammers. They killed the dark creatures as though they were killing machines.
They were able to crush the skulls of the dark creatures easily.
Green fresh blood splattered on the clean white city walls.
The Tauren war cries filled the air.
Tauren Warriors were 2-meter tall creatures of brute force. They were able to hold off the dark creatures effectively.
In this war, Princess Annie, who was the princess of the Moonlight Elves, attracted the attention of the players.
The players initially thought that the princess only held the role of a commander.
But it went beyond their expectations, when...
Annie did not stand behind the guards. Instead, she held her longsword and stood at the frontline.
A Dark Lizard climbed onto the ramparts and spat out its tongue in a bid to grab an Elf.
Annie acted fast. She rushed forward and evaded the toxic tongue. Then she slashed the tongue with her Moonlight Longsword.
Swish!
Green fresh blood splattered in the air. The tongue and skull of the Dark Lizard were severed.
The heroic princess glanced at the dead Dark Lizard and kicked the carcass, which flew back tens of meters before crushing on a few dark creatures.
She did not stop even as more dark creatures scaled the walls. She finished them off with her Legendary longsword.
"Gosh, is the princess a Legendary Intermediate professional?"
"She has the beautiful battle energy that is inherited from the royal clan of the Moonlight Elves."
"It's a pity that the princess has no intention to use her deadly move."
"You're thinking too much..."
The players who had been resting discussed enthusiastically. The frontline was stretched very far, but there were too many players. So, not all of them had a spot at the frontline.
Hence, there were many players who watched the battles while they waited for their spots.
"Be careful, there's a winged devil!" Someone hollered.
Everyone lifted their heads to see a group of winged devils that looked like bats appearing in the sky.
They were not more than a meter tall, but they were fast, and they could fly. Their shrill cries contained a mental attack that generated agitation in the defenders.
But the City of Dawn was not unprepared.
Tens of thousands of orderly professionals readied their bows. Battle energy arrows shot into the sky and exploded.
Thousands of winged devils were shot, and they fell to the battlefield below.
The flaming rocks tossed by the catapults also hit many of the winged devils.
Regardless of this, many winged devils flew into the city to attack the commoners.
Chu Liuqiu shouted, "Grand Deity team, bring 3,000 men to kill the winged devils. Don't let the winged devils distract the regular army."
Lucky Dream slashed a dark creature with his sword before spitting on its corpse. He distanced himself from battle and said, "Yes, championship team leader. I dare not disobey your orders."
"Finish the winged devils quickly. You're very strong, so I have to assign a difficult task for you." Chu Liuqiu smiled.
"No problem-" Lucky Dream heartily laughed. He was fond of Chu Liuqiu. The rich players were not overly dependent on their equipment for their combat power. Their skills were much superior to many of the novice players.
The place where the battle was most intense was the cliff.
500 meters of the frontline was guarded by the professionals of the Sacred Palace.
When thousands of dark creatures climbed onto the ramparts,
Thousands of Temple Knights and clerics chanted in unison!
"Holy light!"
Their shields and broadswords emitted light rays that were a few hundred meters wide.
Most dark creatures were sent flying back while some were turned to ash.
This was a combo skill.
The brilliant light ray shocked many dark creatures into falling off the cliff.
The Seraphkin were extremely brave. They slashed with their longswords and killed countless dark creatures!
Elves...
Half-elves...
Humans...
Everyone at the frontline had to endure great pressure from the attacks.
The shield-bearers were in front while the bladesmen guarded the second line.
However, the Intermediate dark creatures were able to inflict damage on the defenders.
Time elapsed, and after five hours of brutal fighting, the City of Dawn had killed more than 80,000 dark creatures while it suffered 1,300 casualties.
But this was only the second day of the Darkness invasion...
Only the second day...
Nobody knew how the Darkness invasion battle played out in William's previous life.
None of the Dukedoms on the nine continents of 'Gods' managed to stop the Darkness invasion.
That was right.
None!
The most powerful Dukedom had held its capital for 25 days before it was overrun.
Subsequently, a year of retaliation had followed.
The dark creatures did not dare to venture into the territory of the Grand Duchies or the Kingdoms. In fact, the dark creatures did not venture deeply into certain places.
It was like the dark creatures had a contract.
As long as the creatures did not invade, the powerful Grand Duchies or the Kingdoms would not retaliate.
When those Dukedoms fell to the dark creatures, the homeless commoners, professionals, and players took refuge in the Grand Duchies. Then, they organized themselves for retaliation to reclaim their homeland.
The powerful forces on the large continent did not really disregard the Darkness invasion. They just did not want their lands to be occupied by the dark creatures.
A month after the Darkness invasion, the Temple of Light had sent out 800,000 Temple Knights, and they killed all the dark creatures. They helped the homeless people to rebuild their homeland.
That was to say, the Darkness invasion would last for a month.
As long as the defenders persisted, there would be daily casualties.
"A month is too long, and the City of Dawn will sustain massive casualties. We can only last for a week, and then the retaliation must begin." William was guarding the ramparts.
He did not venture deep into the dark army in case he again became surrounded by the devil commanders.
Besides, he had an ominous feeling.
Someone wanted to kill him. And it was not a simple trap, but it was a fatal conspiracy.
William had Saint Soul Magic, so he was sensitive to impending danger.
At this time, a devil who was hiding in the shadows noticed that William was distracted. He charged out and with his ten-meter sword, slashed at William!
But before the sword energy cut into William,
The ground cracked open.
The composed William squinted, and he gently pointed with his left finger!
Boom!
A violent lightning bolt shot out.
Many people witnessed a 100-meter long blue light penetrating numerous dark creatures. Subsequently, hundreds of lightning bolts emitted from the blue light, and they electrocuted the nearby dark creatures.
Meanwhile, the devil's head had been decapitated, and he collapsed to the ground.
The sword energy of the devil also dissipated.
William's single move had killed 500 dark creatures!
William crushed the skull of a darkness soldier once again. He frowned and said, "I have been waiting for the devils to come out. And the result is not bad. I've killed four Advanced devils within two days."
There were simply too many dark creatures, and they charged fearlessly at William.
William was numb to their attacks. He killed waves after waves of dark creatures.
He was resilient.
He continued fighting.
And his battle energy was being relentlessly released.
Lightning bolts shot out from him in endless streams!
There was only a word to describe his combat style.
Fast!
He did not have any superfluous movements.
Any flamboyant movements were meaningless to William.
Between life and death, only 0.01 seconds was required to determine the result.
In his previous life, he understood this. In this life, he believed in it.
Otherwise, he would not have survived and fought alone against the dark army.
At this time, William was free of all thoughts.
The only thing that occupied his mind was the slashing of his blades.
Slash!
More slashes!
His blade was filled with lightning. The reflections lit up his eyes and illuminated the vile dark creatures.
But William was not afraid. He only felt peace.
As peaceful as still water.
To him, killing the vile creatures was like having a meal.
William was a professional. Besides his skills, all fighting methods required lots of training.
As such, the players found it hard to fight one-to-one with an NPC unless they had a rich battle experience.
Otherwise, the players had to depend on large numbers or attributes to overwhelm the NPC.
William was already very powerful in his previous life...
In this life, after William became a native, the uplifting feeling of combat became more intense.
He had made his combat moves as efficient as possible.
But he knew he needed lots of improvement.
He could not figure out how he was going to improve.
It had nothing to do with battle energy, skills, or the body constitution.
It had to do with battle awareness.
It meant using the simplest method, the most energy-saving move, the most effective skill, and the fastest way to kill the strongest opponent!
That was battle awareness. Wastage of energy was a big mistake. For example, using his Finger of Thunder God at an Advanced Grandmaster devil was a waste of his energy.
Hence, he immersed himself in the joy of his swordsmanship and focused on his awareness.
Time elapsed.
The fighting had started at two in the afternoon.
And at six in the evening, it was still ongoing.
And it continued... till twelve midnight.
Even after fighting for more than ten hours, William did not stop killing.
Finally, one hour past midnight!
William slashed his sword, and blue electric arcs swept out in a radius of ten meters. It killed all the dark creatures within its range. Then he gazed at a group of dark creatures who were closing in and smiled coldly as he said, "What's there to see. Get lost if you don't wish to die!"
The dumb dark creatures created a path for William.
Even though the dark creatures were supposed to attack the City of Dawn...
They developed a fear of this NPC who had been massacring their comrades for over ten hours without rest.
William sat cross-legged on a pile of corpses as he recovered his battle energy. He had forgotten what he had done for the past ten hours.
Then he looked at the corpses of the dark creatures and his space ring. He had already consumed a lot of high-quality magic potions.
He knew he was in a particular state.
But he did not know how to describe this state.
William clenched his fists. He knew he had become stronger.
It had nothing to do with attributes or levels. His battle awareness had become stronger.
Because he had this feeling.
With his blade, he was invincible!
