Chapter 261: Chapter 142: [Evil Spirit Calamity] Rampaging Across the Starry Sky (2)
...
"Evil Spirit Calamity?"
When he felt the chilling Catastrophe Power of the Evil Spirit Calamity, Frank, who was cultivating in seclusion at the top of the tower, saw his expression change drastically.
’That damned Evil Spirit actually managed to break into the Star Track Ceremony Tower?’
He had thought that damned Evil Spirit wouldn’t dare show its face again.
But he never expected the Evil Spirit Wizard to have secretly snuck into the Star Track Ceremony Tower built by their Divine Kingdom.
And it was audacious enough to unleash an Evil Spirit Calamity inside the tower.
"Any fool who dares to provoke the power of the Divine Kingdom will inevitably face the judgment of a Divine Spirit."
The Divine Mage Frank’s expression turned solemn and grave.
Feeling the Catastrophe Power of the Evil Spirit Calamity spreading upward from below, his deep, vast voice echoed throughout the entire Divine Kingdom.
"All Garrison members, proceed to the top floor immediately! Form a joint defense!"
The Transcendents on the lower floors had initially wanted to fight back against the surging Catastrophe Power of the Evil Spirit Calamity.
But when the Divine Mage Frank’s voice reached them, they immediately raced toward the upper floors of the Star Track Ceremony Tower.
As seven or eight Transcendents arrived on the 21st floor,
Zorn and his followers, who had long been lying in wait, attacked in an instant.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Haha... Die!"
HISS... HISS...
THUMP... THUMP...
"Kill! Kill!"
All sorts of ferocious attacks were unleashed at once.
Even though these people were on guard, five or six of them were hit instantly in the surprise attack.
At the same time, Zorn’s Ancient God Power erupted over a wide area, combined with the Calamity Black Mist.
One after another, calamitous Ancient God’s Hands, imbued with terrifying power, surged forth like a tide and seized all six of the wounded Transcendents.
Boosted by the Evil Spirit Calamity, Zorn’s strength had reached the Upper Rank Level.
He controlled the hands of Calamity Black Mist as if they were his own limbs.
Their immense power was easily unleashed.
It was far more than these Transcendents could withstand.
"Die!"
As the hands of Calamity erupted.
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
All six Transcendents were crushed into pulp by Zorn.
Then, their mangled remains and Wandering Souls were completely devoured and digested by the Calamity Black Mist.
The remaining Transcendents were horrified by this scene.
The experts on the top floor who witnessed this were also suddenly startled.
’This Evil Spirit Wizard’s strength has grown so much since the last time.’
’Even I would need to use a few tricks to kill those Transcendents, who are weaker than us. But this Evil Spirit Wizard simply suppressed and crushed them to death.’
’Granted, it was a surprise attack, but his strength absolutely cannot be underestimated.’
’Especially that Calamity Black Mist. Empowered by Domain Power and the Ancient God Curse, it’s practically a Domain of Death. If I touched it, even I might not be able to break free.’
’This... This is probably close to Upper Rank Level strength!’
Sensing the terrifying Evil Spirit Wizard and the unfathomable Calamity Black Mist, even they, the top experts of the Spirit Realm, were now extremely wary.
The Calamity Black Mist surged upward like a tide, carrying Zorn and his followers ever higher.
At the same time, the Golden Arm behind Zorn drew back the "Arrow of Concealed Sin."
Seeing the Arrow of Concealed Sin being drawn, everyone’s expression darkened.
They had all seen recordings of the Evil Spirit Wizard using this very move to kill a Divine Blood Berserker.
The power of that golden Arrow was astounding.
It could even pierce right through Divine Blood Armor.
"Watch out!"
Before the words even left his mouth,
SWOOSH—
a Level 10 Knight Sequence who was too slow to react fell from the sky.
Seeing this, the top experts—Frank, Betsey, Abbs, and the others—all attacked.
Divine Arts and Witchcraft rained down on Zorn and his group.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
For a moment, the Calamity Black Mist rippled and churned from the impacts, its upward surge halted.
The other Transcendents in the Star Track Ceremony Tower also attacked when they saw the opening.
With about thirty people attacking in concert, a mix of melee and ranged, it would have been somewhat dangerous even for Zorn to charge forward.
Unfortunately for them, Zorn was also a ranged fighter; there was no need for him to charge at all.
After quickly retreating with his eight Believers to dodge the first wave of attacks, Zorn swiftly moved into the depths of the Black Mist, relying on its cover and suppressive effects.
Although the enemy continued to attack, they no longer posed much of a threat to Zorn and his group.
Zorn glanced at the people around him and immediately gave an order.
"Work together and block any attacks they send after us."
"Yes, Master!"
The group replied in unison.
Zorn once again manipulated the Ancient God’s Hand to quickly draw the [Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin].
Immersed in the depths of the Evil Spirit Calamity’s Black Mist, Zorn’s power was amplified in every aspect.
A moment later!
VWOOM!
An Arrow of ultimate destructive power shot out violently.
As expected,
a Level 10 "Dark Night Scout" was shot and killed on the spot.
Even though he was hiding within the tower, the [Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin] directly targeted the enemy, possessing the ability to pass through conventional obstacles.
As long as Zorn aimed at his target, the tower—whether in its physical or ethereal state—could not block his Arrow.
The many Casters, however, keenly traced the trail of this attack, launching a dozen rapid-strike abilities in pursuit.
After these Skills and Witchcraft were suppressed by a wave of the Evil Spirit Calamity’s Calamity Black Mist, they were blocked by the combined efforts of Zorn’s followers.
"Keep going!"
Zorn gave a cold smile and continued to draw the powerful Holy Judgment: Arrow of Concealed Sin.
Today, Zorn was going to trap them all here and slaughter every last one of them.
VWOOM! VWOOM! VWOOM!
Arrow after arrow.
Transcendents were continuously shot down by Zorn.
Even when these Transcendents constantly used defensive Scrolls, cast powerful defensive abilities, or even concealed their figures, it was all useless.
Immersed in the Evil Spirit Calamity Zone, Zorn’s charged shots possessed the destructive and annihilating power of the Upper Rank.
Killing these Level 10 Transcendents was no great effort for him.
As Zorn continued his slaughter, one powerful Transcendent after another fell.
The faces of the Star Remnant Divine Kingdom members garrisoned in the Star Track Ceremony Tower were as grim as stagnant water.
He used an Evil Spirit ritual to drive everyone to the upper floors. Then, he immersed himself in the terrifying power of the Evil Spirit Calamity, using concealment to continuously pick them off.
’If this continues, all thirty-something of us will probably be wiped out by that Zorn.’
"Frank, if this goes on, I’m afraid none of us will escape,"
"While we still have some fighting strength, we should join forces and fight our way down. The Calamity Black Mist is terrifying, but this is our only chance to escape."
"If we stay here on defense, we can’t stop that guy’s near-Upper Rank attacks at all."
"Even if someone manages to block one or two arrows with a Scroll, they’ll still fall after taking a few more shots."
"We can’t just wait here any longer!"
Betsey, the [Ethereal Walker] whose strength was no less than Frank’s, spoke in a low voice, her eyes narrowed as she stared down at the terrifying, deadly Calamity Black Mist.
’Should we dig in and wait for reinforcements?’
’Or should we risk death by charging into that terrifying Calamity Black Mist to escape, completely abandoning the Star Track Ceremony Tower that the Divine Kingdom invested so many resources to build?’
For a moment, Frank couldn’t make up his mind.
If he chose wrong, all of them would likely be annihilated here today.
