Chapter 694: Chapter 689: High-End Power at a Bargain Price
"Kill!"
A general of the Garrison Defense Army, riding a horse and brandishing a sword, sliced a Red Sand Ghost into two, the latter dissipating into red mist.
Then, miles away, at the place where the True Crimson Mist was the densest, the Red Sand Ghost slowly resurrected, and after a few minutes of gestation, charged back into the battlefield.
However, the Garrison Defense Army general who killed numerous Red Sand Ghosts was also targeted.
Among the swirling mist, a tall giant appeared, moving slowly but with an unstoppable, determined force, blocking the path of the warhorse, and slapped down with one hand!
The general of the Garrison Defense Army raised his shield to block. However, in the next second, with a boom, a dark red hand smashed through the shield, knocking him and his horse flying, spitting blood in midair, and leaving him in a state of severe injury!
The tall giant was the "True Red Executor," formed from the True Red Power of the many fallen Red Sand Ghosts, existing on a level comparable to a Lord.
Unlike the conventional meaning of a Lord, the True Red Executor does not possess the comprehensive skill set of a Lord, nor does it have any understanding of Mystical Arts.
They are characterized by strong basic attributes, and with the addition of "True Red Power," their damage amplitude is significantly increased. The True Red Power has the feature of being indefensible and unblockable, guaranteed to hit.
With the emergence of this True Red Executor, the intensity of the war escalated, as one after another, True Red Executors walked out from the red mist.
The True Red Executor is formed by the concentrated True Red Power of numerous deceased Red Sand Ghosts, with the Red Sand Ghosts serving as its components.
"This is truly ’high quality at a low price’ in terms of advanced combat power. Every time I see this scene, I am genuinely amazed at the profound knowledge of the great Sarajael." In the core area of the True Crimson Mist, Napo Gang remarked.
Sarajael still did not reveal himself, only a cold voice came from within the True Crimson Mist:
"This is not without its cost. Once a True Red Executor is destroyed, the group of Red Sand Ghosts that comprise it will perish along with it, losing the chance of rebirth! More importantly... my power will also diminish slightly."
"The cost is already minimal. Besides, the True Red Executors you’ve assembled are not so easily destroyed... According to my estimation, a True Red Executor composed of dozens of Red Sand Ghosts can already reach the threshold of a Lord. And this time, each True Red Executor is formed with no fewer than a hundred Red Sand Ghost components!"
Napo Gang chuckled, "I believe they will bring significant trouble to the Garrison Academy."
Sarajael, single-handedly, was opposing the entire Garrison Academy and the entire Eastern Plains Alliance Army! The Demon God’s power is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Sarajael said coldly, "Of course, I can ensure that the mundane Lords of Garrison won’t have the opportunity to protect that Dior Fulri! I have fulfilled the agreed task, and now it’s up to you."
"Rest assured, great True Red Divine Envoy."
Napo Gang bowed slightly, golden light shining from his octopus eyes, "My team and I guarantee to bring you the head of Dior Fulri."
"What would I want with his head?" Sarajael snorted, "Bring me all the ancient relics on him! You must be quick, and it has to be done before the human reinforcements arrive!"
"Your will!"
Napo Gang smiled, and his figure slowly disappeared within the bubble.
...
The battle grew increasingly intense.
The appearance of numerous True Red Executors disrupted the lines of the human alliance army, and ordinary Warrior Level and Enhanced Warrior Level generals were utterly unable to withstand these deliberately strengthened monsters.
The students and teachers of the Garrison Academy intervened.
The first-year champion, Tom, chanted loudly, continuously casting the Harmony Wind Guardian and Wind’s Breath spells, his form leaving a long afterimage as he charged out. The Dark Gold Long Staff in his hand, enhanced by Wind Gathering Spin Fighting Qi, swung like the collapse of a heavenly pillar.
A True Red Executor was struck, staggering and retreating two steps, and the deadly hand that was reaching for a group of human soldiers was forced to retract.
Seizing the opportunity, Tom chanted "Wind-Rolling Thunder," and the cyan wind lifted a vortex of thunder and lightning, sweeping up the True Red Executor! The latter’s feet detached from the ground, suspended in the air, enduring six bouts of dual-attribute magic damage from Wind-Rolling Thunder every second.
However, in just one and a half seconds, the True Red Executor broke free of the lightning vortex’s gravity, its dark red feet rooting to the ground! Its thick arm suddenly reached out, grabbing Tom’s staff.
With a tug and a pull, Tom felt a surge of great force, leaving him with no power to resist as he flew forward, crashing straight towards the clenched dark red giant fist of the True Red Executor!
At the critical moment, a silver-white Mind Mark lit up behind Tom, and Oshana, not far away, activated the Life Spirit Magic "Mind Pull," dragging Tom back, avoiding the terrifying punch.
A six-pointed star pattern emitting holy radiance covered her, as Oshana chanted "Radiant Demon-Repelling Barrier," enveloping herself, Tom, and several surrounding Garrison Academy students.
"Let’s go together!"
Several outstanding students charged towards the True Red Executor in unison.
The same kind of battles were staged repeatedly in other areas of the vast battlefield.
Each True Red Executor was countered by several Garrison Academy students, and even teachers, working together.
In comparison, the advanced students from previous sessions at War God Peak were more formidable.
Tokesen, enveloped in Blood Corpse Poison Fighting Qi, continuously swung his Poison Fang Gloves, leaving layer upon layer of indented fist imprints on the surface of a True Red Executor, its life value slowly but decisively decreasing.
The True Red Executor grabbed and pulled backhandedly, almost condensing the air, trying to "tug" Tokesen to itself for a punch.
However, Tokesen transformed into a Blood Shadow, using the Mystical Art skill "Blood Shadow Clone" to evade, utilizing the Heart-Piercing Blood Finger to detonate the accumulated toxins of Blood Corpse Poison, inflicting massive damage.
Munis’ green "Creation" Fighting Qi spread over the ground, forming a large net, extending up to two kilometers around the battlefield. In these areas, as soon as someone on the human allied side was injured, the Creation Fighting Qi would enter their body, nourishing their meridians and repairing any damage.
"Everyone’s power has made significant progress..."
Watching from a distance, Bai Pu sighed with emotion.
Young Lords like Tokesen and Munis, being "War God Peak Academy students," had a greater growth potential compared to the old-line Native Lords.
For example, Munis, during Bai Pu’s last visit to the Professional Plane, could not perform remote healing yet and had to be close to deliver Creation Fighting Qi into Bai Pu’s body.
This time, she developed a new move with the Fighting Qi Net, taking responsibility for a battlefield support role over several kilometers. And as a Lord Level Martial Artist, she was different from the traditionally feeble healers, unafraid of a sudden crippling strike from the Demon God’s claws.
