Chapter 311 As the Dust Settles
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Aojo suddenly realized that the humans’ assault was slowing down.
Unaware that the Players could communicate with each other in real-time and merely feeling that the attacks throw at itself was becoming milder, the evil god naturally assumed that the battle had gone on for too long-that the toll had exceeded what the mortal believers could take and that they couldn’t maintain the same intensity of attack before.
The truth, however, was that Edward put together a plan which he described to his group, gaining their approval before sharing every step in the plan on the Player forums. With that, the other players all began to do as instructed, even guiding the believers from other churches to follow suit.
After all, their excellent performances in the Twin City Cup and how they held themselves against the Abomination in this very battle had more or less granted them a stature to command the other believers.
While the clerics of the Brilliant White Church did have things to say about the plan, they eventually conceded their pride as the top religion and decided to put their trust in their Players for once—which naturally didn’t involve sending them to their deaths.
Still, unlike the people of the Brilliant White Church, the Players always tend to shoulder the most dangerous part of the plan under such circumstances. While part of the reason for that was to maintain a noble character, the more important reason was that such dangerous tasks tend to be granted greater rewards, including a legendary item drop or something along those lines…
The believers from other churches were naturally unaware of that, which was why they were persuaded by the Players’ noble character as they kept braving the frontlines, which also greatly improved their impression in everyone else’s minds
Thanks to the simple bunkers that the Earth Sect made, Aojo was simply unaware of the fact that Edward’s plan was already in motion.
First off, Gou Dan would seize Aojo’s attention even as they weakened the firepower coming from other directions.
Locking the legendary weapon AWM (crossbow mode) on his wrist, Gou Dan leapt out of a bunker. When he confirmed that at least one pupil was looking at him thanks to the decreasing durability of his items, he raised his hand and assumed a flamboyant pose like an eight-grader. At the same time, both Eleena and Edward quickly buffed him with their skills from the bunker behind.
Wondrous white radiance (Eleena’s holy light) and dark malevolent flames (Edward’s black dragon) hence circled around Gou Dan, and spiraled as they converged onto Gou Dan’s crossbow.
Then, Gou Dan stealthily changed the form of the crossbow-with some clinging and clanging sounds out of a science fiction novel, it turned into a massive crossbow.
Meanwhile, the air raged as white light and black flames intertwined, and it appeared as if Gou Dan had worn an ethereal war robe that changed between light and dark colors.
Nonetheless, both elements continued to converge upon the heavy crossbow, and Aojo could feel as if he were charging a powerful technique.
Therefore, it began directing every other pupil towards Gou Dan as well, intent on vaporizing him before he could fully cast it!
Dozens of death rays overlapped, multiplying the sheer carnage it was wreaking to burn down Gou Dan. Most of his equipment were already melting like ice cream put into a microwave, just as his own HP bar was dropping rapidly. Even so, the durability of the AWM was above most items since it was legendary-tier (maintenance is naturally expensive as well), and it could still maintain its structure despite being bathed under the horrific Gaze.
In turn, when Aojo saw that the human was about to be baked while the weapon still remained fine, it knew that its hunch was right
– he must have been holding back a devastating strike!
Thus, its Gaze became even stronger.
***
At the same time, Edward confirmed with the other Players that most of Aojo’s pupils were now directed towards Gou Dan.
He nodded at Eleena, and she casted a supreme Flash like no other on Gou Dan.
As a skill, Flash was quite useful in affecting the vision of a target in a fight. However, the Players usually don’t have any use for it since they were usually pitted against sightless undead or fishmen which had poor vision, which was why Eleena never used it herself.
However, the minor skill which could already be learnt at Level 5 would clearly be more than that for Aojo, which was an eyeball through and through.
And in the instant that the blinding light shone, almost everyone could hear a deafening wail.
It was not a real, physical sound—but a mental attack similar to Psychic Scream!
Even though Aojo didn’t actually possess Psychic Scream as an ability, the super Flash that had blinded all its pupils at once clearly hurt it so viciously that its spirit unfurled externally in waves.
And like a porcupine, countless long sharp needles protruded out of Aojo’s body, and it seemed to expand up to four times! Be that as it may, its reaction to prevent the enemy from coming close to hurt it in the period of its blindness only made evident that it was vulnerable despite appearances! “Now! Attack!”
Once the Players who had closed their eyes and stuffed their ears even before Eleena casted Flash saw what had happened, all of them promptly urge everyone else to attack. Now, their attacks could deal certain amounts of damage, even though it clearly wouldn’t be very effective against the thick armor their enemy had. Still, these attacks were unleashed only as insurance. The purpose of it was to prevent Aojo from attacking in other ways, so that it wouldn’t be able to tell where its enemy was attacking from before it could regain its vision!
And with the cover from the Players and believers from the other churches, Jessica, who was already prepared rode forward on her deer while holding Sefarim, aiming her at the divine attribute core which Eleena pointed out beforehand.
“Seffie, seal eight. Release!”
“Understood. Seal eight release… This is a spear that stood where stars fall; her greatest radiance lingers amongst constellationsLuminous Lance, Stardust!”
Jessica’s EXP (divine power from Xi Wei) hence poured into Sefarim, setting her ablaze in stellar illumination that revolved around the girl and the sacred lance.
A belt of light appeared beneath the hooves of the deer as well, connecting it and its rider and guiding it towards the enemy as if it was a stairway to heaven.
The light was immeasurably determined and gallant as if it would kill any foe within reach, unshaken even in the face of an enemy which was dozens of times its own size!
In that moment, the sounds of the world seemed to become distant.
When the light eventually faded, the figure of the young girl had already gone passed the Abomination.
In the next instant, pungent black pus was spilling out of Aojo’s pierced body. Its body crumpled even as it screamed, and it eventually disintegrated into mincemeat mixed with the pus as the dust settled.
Sunlight returned to the dark skies then, and the major incident tied to the grand final of the Twin City Cup concluded with the peace after a battle.
