Chapter 227: Chapter 114: Consecutively Slaying the World BOSS
A variety of attacks formed in the Spirit Realm rained down relentlessly on the Spirit Realm Fortress.
The attacks included Spiritual Arrows, heavy crossbow bolts, Spirit Realm Fireballs, and some melee strikes.
Despite the variety, the overall number of attacks was not large.
At most, only about a hundred units were attacking the Spirit Realm Fortress.
The reason for this, of course, was the special coordinate Zorn had chosen.
The Spirit Realm Fortress they had constructed was like a small foothold on the edge of a cliff.
In front of them was the barrier of the Battlefield Spirit Realm; behind them, the endless, shattered void.
The space was so small that the War Spirit Realm’s massive War Legions couldn’t spread out. They certainly couldn’t concentrate their firepower for a large-scale bombardment.
The individual War Undead were relatively weak. Their true strength only emerged when they fought as a massive legion.
In a small-scale battle like this, they were completely ineffective.
In contrast, the powerful Transcendents garrisoned inside the Spirit Realm Fortress could easily pick off these weak War Undead.
Soon after the order to attack was given...
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, quickly identified the problem.
’That location... it seems to be a rather effective chokepoint.’
His War Legions clearly couldn’t surround them from all sides. They couldn’t even manage a flanking maneuver from the rear.
This was because the small Spirit Realm Fortress was situated right on the edge of the Spirit Realm’s void.
If his War Undead creatures tried to cross, they would plummet into the void and be destroyed.
Consequently, his War Undead legion could only charge through the chokepoint head-on.
And they could only do so in small waves, which prevented them from posing any real threat to the Garrison.
Joe Moriff, a master of strategy and tactics, quickly perceived his opponents’ intentions.
’They want a war of attrition with me?’
His eyes narrowed, a sharp glint flickering within them as a cold sneer spread across his face.
’My war potential is infinite. You want to wear me down? I’ll just grind you all to death.’
As he thought, Joe Moriff glanced at the broken Angel Statues of various shapes and sizes within his Spirit Realm.
Many of the attacks from outside were based on the Angel Sequence.
These Angel Sequence attacks seemed to be resonating with the Angel remains inside his Spirit Realm.
The power of this resonance ultimately converged upon him.
He could already feel the destructive ripples of that resonance.
’As long as I withstand these resonant ripples, there’s nothing they can do to me.’
Joe Moriff calmed himself, already prepared for a grueling battle.
The two sides seemed to have reached a stalemate within this layer of the Spirit Realm.
Joe Moriff drove his War Undead through the barrier of his Spirit Realm, continuously deploying troops.
Meanwhile, Zorn’s group kept attacking the Spirit Realm’s barrier while defending their position.
「About two hours later.」
The assault seemed to reach a critical point.
VMMMM... VMMMM...
Across the entire War Spirit Realm, the resonant power from all the Angel Statues overlapped and intertwined.
Inside the Spirit Realm Fortress.
Zorn noticed this and looked toward Isaac, the God Hunter.
Isaac immediately channeled the resonance of the Angel Sequence, unleashed his slaying Divine Ability, and struck viciously at the Spirit Realm barrier before them.
...
「Inside the War Spirit Realm.」
As he withstood the increasingly overwhelming resonant ripples, Joe Moriff had a bad feeling.
’What’s happening to my War Spirit Realm?’
’The pressure from these resonant ripples is becoming immense.’
Just as Joe Moriff, buckling under the immense pressure, was trying to figure out how to resolve this massive problem...
...a terrifying power that made his heart pound suddenly struck.
SHIIINK!
The strange power ripped through his Sequence.
The blow was powerful, but not fatal.
However, it shattered the balance he was maintaining against the resonant ripples.
Immediately, the thundering resonant ripples flooded into his Sequence like a bursting dam.
"Damned bastards!"
An incandescent Joe Moriff roared.
The next moment!
BOOM—
Joe Moriff, wreathed in torrents of war flames, exploded on the spot.
FWOOSH...
The scattered flames rapidly converged.
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, was reborn from the flames of war.
Within this Spirit Realm, he was an undying, indestructible existence.
The moment he underwent Resurrection, Joe Moriff looked toward the ruined Angel Statues.
He realized that his recent Death had dissipated the built-up resonant ripples.
After his Resurrection, the pressure from the resonance was gone.
But the current situation made his expression darken.
’They cleverly built a war fortress in that specific location, defending the chokepoint to the death.’
’They used Angel resonance to make the power of this Spirit Realm turn against me.’
’And at the same time... they used some special technique to assassinate me.’
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, clenched his fist, a Crimson madness flaring in the depths of his eyes.
The fervor for war in his heart surged. The more difficult the battle, the more exhilarated he became.
"Good, very good... So this is how you plan to deal with me."
"Do you really think I’d be afraid of you?"
All kinds of war plans began to surface madly in the mind of the Lord of War, Joe Moriff.
’For them to attack me in such a premeditated manner, it’s clear they’ve been plotting this for a long time.’
’If this continues, I’ll likely be the one at a disadvantage.’
