Chapter 228: Chapter 114: Continuously Slaying the World BOSS (Part 2)
’Even if I scrape by with a win, my losses will be catastrophic.’
’To turn this around, I have to find another way.’
’I have to deploy special units and expand the battlefield so I can bring the full might of my war legions to bear.’
’Only then can I effectively root out that damned little fortress.’
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Joe Moriff, the Lord of War, had already formulated a decent plan.
Soon, from within the war fortress, War Knights with their powerful defenses began a fierce charge.
Faced with these relatively strong units,
everyone quickly organized to eliminate them efficiently.
Amidst the charge of these War Knights,
skull-sized Magma Worms also began to quickly climb out along the rock walls on both sides.
These Magma Worms rapidly chewed through the surrounding mountain, then used the debris to pave over the edge of the Spirit Realm’s void.
The cliff platform began to expand at a visible rate.
Inside the Spirit Realm Fortress,
Zorn quietly watched the Lord of War, Joe Moriff’s, counterattack, remaining unmoved.
If Joe Moriff had already established a large territory beforehand, it might have been a bit troublesome.
But for Zorn, this kind of temporary expansion was of little use.
However, Zorn was in no hurry to deal with this "potential trouble." Instead, he let the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, do as he pleased.
Did Zorn have a way to directly break through the Spirit Realm?
Of course he did.
But there was no point in doing so.
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, who was not skilled in close-quarters combat, would run faster than anyone the moment he saw his fortress breached.
Therefore, the Spirit Realm’s barrier could not be broken. At least, not yet.
The moment it was broken, the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, would escape.
He had to give his opponent the hope of winning, to make him continuously invest his resources, so that in the end, he would lose everything.
In this war orchestrated by Zorn,
the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, was doomed to lose from the very beginning.
His only way to avoid such a crushing defeat was to not fight at all—to flee immediately, covering his head, without daring to look back.
The longer he fought, the more devastating his losses would be.
"Lord Zorn, it seems they’re expanding the battle zone. And those strange Magma Worms have already chewed out numerous caves inside the rock walls on both sides."
Isaac, the God Hunter, whose main mission was assassination rather than combat, also noticed the change on the battlefield.
"Mm! I know. But don’t worry about it."
「Over an hour later.」
Feeling the time was right, Zorn had Isaac strike again.
Deep within the War Spirit Realm,
the flames of war erupted once more.
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, his expression cold, was resurrected from the flames again.
’The efficiency of the echoes from those Angel remnants has clearly sped up a lot.’
’And...’
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, lifted his hands, sensing carefully.
’That powerful killing technique seems to have seeped deep into my Sequence, causing some damage to my very source.’
’Fortunately, my source can slowly recover through the slaughter of war, so I’m not too worried about this special killing technique.’
’As long as I can win, that’s all that matters.’
’If I don’t crush these guys, they’ll surely attack again. I have to make them feel the pain, so they’ll learn that the great War Spirit Realm is not something they can dare to provoke.’
’But... I need to speed things up.’
’After all, their counterattacks do pose a certain threat to me.’
The grueling battle between the two sides began.
「Half a day later.」
The Lord of War, Joe Moriff, had finally managed to fill in and carve out a sizable battlefield.
Immediately after, the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, launched a large-scale offensive.
All sorts of war machines were also set up one after another.
A wave of ranged attacks also began to spread out.
As the new round of attacks began,
an assault, more than ten times stronger than before, rained down on the small Spirit Realm Fortress from all directions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All kinds of attacks slammed into the small Spirit Realm Fortress, thundering loudly.
For a moment, all the Transcendents inside the fortress were on high alert.
This wave of attacks was clearly much stronger.
Those supplying Energy to the fortress kept at it, those using Witchcraft launched their counterattacks, and those attacking the war fortress pressed the assault.
During the past half-day, everyone had been working in shifts, so there wasn’t much pressure.
But as the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, established his battle lines and expanded the scale of the war,
the intensity of the battle shot straight up.
Facing the enemy’s relentless assault, every member of the Garrison felt a certain pressure.
At this moment, Zorn, steadily holding the Spirit Realm Fortress, was silently calculating.
Over the past half-day,
they had already killed the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, thirteen times.
Judging by the fact that the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, was still expanding the scale of the war,
the spark of his War Sequence had already been fanned into a full-blown blaze.
Those of the War Sequence are especially prone to getting lost in war, unable to extricate themselves.
The more he continued to fight, the deeper he would sink into it.
And now,
facing the Lord of War, Joe Moriff’s, large-scale offensive,
the more resistance they showed, the more it would stimulate his desire for war.
’I absolutely cannot stop. I must keep fighting. Keep fighting, on and on. As long as I keep fighting, I can definitely kill them all. Once I’ve slaughtered them, everyone else will fear me, the one who commands war. No one will ever dare to test my War Spirit Realm again. Die, die, die... You dare attack my War Spirit Realm? You... will all die!’
Deeply aware of the psychological traits and Sequence characteristics of such warmongers,
Zorn chose this moment to increase the intensity of their attack.
As the thought crossed his mind, Zorn looked at Noctifanel, the Nightmare Angel.
"Increase the intensity of the attack. We need to enter a rapid-kill rhythm."
Then, Zorn looked at Isaac, the God Hunter.
"Get ready."
"Understood!"
Isaac nodded solemnly.
From these dozen or so consecutive kills, he had already reaped rich rewards; each kill had a stunning effect.
If he continued at this pace,
he felt that a single one of his killing Divine Abilities could now directly finish off other Transcendents of the same Level, even if their Extraordinary Sequences weren’t evil ones.
"Everyone else, start intensifying the counterattack..."
Zorn ordered in a deep voice.
At the same time, he himself began to release Destruction Magic Balls to kill the war units that were surging toward them like a tide.
Without Zorn needing to say another word,
facing an assault that had intensified tenfold, everyone began to counterattack with all their might.
War!
In an instant, the battle escalated to a white-hot intensity.
This scene completely catalyzed the fire of war in the heart of the Lord of War, Joe Moriff, making it burn ever more furiously.
His eyes glowed with a Crimson light, his face twisted into an expression of greedy fanaticism.
The severe damage to his Sequence, on the contrary, made him even more frenzied.
’Yes... just maintain this momentum, and keep expanding the battlefield.’
He sniffed the increasingly scorching scent of gunpowder, utterly fascinated by it.
’The larger the battlefield, the less they’ll be able to hold on.’
’In the end, they will be the ones to pay the price for this entire war.’
’And I... will be the final victor!’
