Chapter 238: Chapter 124: Demon’s Advent
[Star Trace Fighter]
Level: 8 (9%)
His Sequence Level had begun to stabilize.
Zorn’s eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze fell upon the extra 9% Experience gained past Level 8.
Vaguely, he realized he had just found the perfect path to fortune.
After advancing to Level 8, the Fighting Sequence didn’t grant him any new Skills.
Instead, the Fighting Master’s core Skill, [Gang Dragon Hand], had been enhanced, becoming [Golden Gang Dragon Hand].
Zorn was quite satisfied with this.
[Golden Gang Dragon Hand] was better suited for unleashing the Power of the Giant Dragon than [Gang Dragon Hand].
Meanwhile, his Evil Spirit Wizard class had gained a standard passive: [Source Energy Resonance].
This would increase the efficiency at which the Evil Spirit Wizard absorbed Source Energy to restore Evil Energy.
Zorn grew thoughtful as he looked at this very ordinary [Source Energy Resonance].
’As expected. Now that I’m not the darling of this era’s new wave, the Skills I’m awakening are a bit lackluster. I started out with a Forbidden Curse, and now I’m getting something as plain as can be.’
However, Zorn wasn’t too concerned about the Witchcraft he had naturally awakened.
Powerful Witchcraft was usually obtained by completing numerous secret quests.
In the future, he could just acquire powerful Witchcraft and replace these common ones.
After some thought, he turned his attention to the battlefield outside.
The clash of Magic Spells, the roar of various powerful techniques, and the interweaving of Spiritual Energy, Source Energy, and steam.
It had completely plunged Saint Nuoya’s Golden Island into the flames of war.
The two sides were locked in a ferocious battle.
Zorn frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on the Wizard Tower on Saint Nuoya’s Golden Island, where the Upper Rank powerhouse had been.
Although the Upper Rank powerhouse guarding Golden Island was already dead, everything there had been preserved after his body was possessed by a powerful Demon Lord.
This included the Wizard Tower Energy Barrier left behind by the Upper Rank powerhouse.
’Right now, I bet a host of powerful Demons are inside the Wizard Tower’s barrier, watching the battle, maybe even sneering at the conflict between the humans and the pioneers from the Exotic Realm.’
’If this slaughter continues, it’ll just let those powerful Demon Creatures pick up the scraps.’
’I need to turn this into a three-way brawl. That’s the only way I can properly fish in troubled waters and maybe even get directly into those mysterious Ancient Ruins.’
A moment later, Zorn had settled on a plan.
’I’ll try this first. If it doesn’t work, I’ll try something else.’
Taking a deep breath, Zorn immediately began to sacrifice himself.
’After the Demons got in, they must have plundered the Upper Rank powerhouse’s resources wantonly. The Energy of the Wizard Tower’s barrier is probably quite depleted. If I can shatter that depleted Wizard Tower Energy Barrier and expose all the Demons inside... then this battlefield will get a lot more interesting in a hurry. Two sides fighting to the death, only to find a pack of Demons watching from the sidelines. The drama would be off the charts.’
Even if he couldn’t shatter it, Zorn had other ways to pry open the Energy Barrier and expose the demonic presence.
It would be more troublesome, but the goal could still be achieved.
After all, Zorn had made many preparations for the resources here.
Before long, Zorn returned, resurrected amidst the surging Calamity Black Mist.
His Level 8 aura was as stable as a mountain, and his self-sacrificial Death had boosted his presence to the standard of a Level 9.
As the Calamity Black Mist billowed from his body, he swiftly used Spiritual Walking to appear in a street corner outside.
[Ancient God’s Hand], [Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin], [Power of the Golden Giant Dragon].
Numerous powers intertwined.
The golden, glazed Divine Kingdom Forbidden Curse Arrow was charged to its peak.
WHOOSH!
A streak of golden light shot toward the Wizard Tower’s barrier.
VMMMM—
A visible golden ripple spread out from the Wizard Tower’s barrier, expanding rapidly until it swept across the entire Wizard Tower Energy Barrier.
’It’s working!’
Zorn’s spirit stirred.
He immediately drew back for a second [Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin].
’If the Energy Barrier had easily deflected my Arrow or only produced a faint ripple, it clearly wouldn’t be something I could break right now. But the ripple was so immense it swept over the entire Energy Barrier. That means the Energy Barrier is just a thin layer, easily penetrated and affected by my power.’
With the second arrow, the ripples on the Wizard Tower’s Energy Barrier were even more pronounced, even oscillating back and forth a few times.
Faintly, Zorn seemed to hear a soft cracking sound.
After a moment of thought, Zorn converted and loaded a portion of the power from Shattering Spirit·Skull-Splitting Fist into his third arrow.
’Its might will be greatly reduced, but the Broken Spirit Attribute is specifically designed to break these kinds of Energy Barriers.’
As this third arrow slammed viciously into the Wizard Tower’s barrier,
K-KRAK-KRAK...
The sound of shattering instantly echoed throughout the entire World, ringing even louder in everyone’s hearts.
For a moment, whether they were the Transcendents engaged in battle or the Middle Rank Level Transcendents fighting for their lives, every one of them felt their hearts jump in shock.
What was going on?
The shock in their hearts caused their attacks to weaken as they paid more attention to the world around them.
"Everyone, look...!"
"It’s coming from the direction of the senior Upper Rank’s Wizard Tower."
"It looks like... the Energy Barrier is about to be opened?"
"Not opened, it looks like... it’s about to shatter."
"Don’t tell me... the Upper Rank powerhouse is coming out?"
"But didn’t they say the Upper Rank powerhouse was lost in the Star Realm?"
"Maybe the news about being lost in the Star Realm was fake."
