Chapter 1814 Conquering the Ancient Battleground

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

When Hope's Light started to dissipate, Jack and Jeanny were ready to control their dragons to change direction following the herald. The dragons from their rune technique and mega spell had their own targeting system. They would home in on the enemy even if they were not controlled. But by exerting control, Jack and Jeanny could add feints and redirect the dragons to where they predicted the Herald might move. Thus, increasing the chance for the dragons to catch the target.

Jack was also ready to use his Void Displacement Eye to hold or move the herald into the dragons' pathway.

Unexpectedly, when Hope's Light imploded and the Herald was seen again, the Herald just stood there with an expression of agony.

"Did he fail to use his chaos armor in time?" Grace asked.

"No, he had used it," Paytowin said. He was in Brave Techno Suit. The visor of that suit, added with the enhanced perception of his Brave Ancestry bloodline, allowed him to see faint purple embers around the Herald's body. That was the residue of the chaos armor.

"It seems we have gotten much stronger than expected," John said.

When Hope's Light was first used on the Demon Lord during the siege of Balgadur, the Demon Lord was stripped of all its defensive spells and incapacitated. The same thing happened here. During the previous time they fought the Herald of Greed, the Herald's chaos armor resisted Hope's Light's incapacitating effect. It was different this time because all five players who had Hope's Sanctification had improved their stats significantly, especially Jack. The power contained within their current Hope's Light couldn't be compared to the previous.

Aside from incapacitating the herald, the current Hope's Light also reduced the Herald's HP to almost half. The damage it inflicted was more than two times compared to the last time.

Without the ability to move, the Herald could only watch as the eight dragons came to him. Jeanny's golden dragon arrived first. It entered the Herald's body and transformed into energy spears that ravaged the Herald from within.

As multiple golden spears thrust in and out from the herald's body without end, the seven dragons from Jack's mega spell landed on the herald. Four dragons bit the herald's four limbs. The remaining three bit the herald's head, neck, and torso. They then turned into their elements and blanketed the herald's body. The herald was covered by blinding light, searing flame, freezing ice, solid rock, raging wind, intense lightning, and oppressive darkness.

All these elements were like chains locking the herald's body. Even if the effect of Hope's Light wore off, the herald would still be unable to move. All the while, the elements were eating at the Herald's HP. Damage numbers continued to pop up endlessly.

Damage and incapacitation were not the only effects of Jack's Wrath of the Ancient Dragons. The mega spell also brought the hit target incalculable mental torment. The torment was so unbearable that the herald let out an inhuman howl.

The turn of events was so unexpected that everyone stopped in their tracks and just watched the happening without moving. Here they were, expecting a tough fight like the last time. Only after John's yell woke them up did they start acting.

"What the hell are you people goofing around for? Hit him…!!"

Everyone sent their attacks. With the herald unable to move or fight back, they landed a hit without trouble. Everyone was sure to pass the 100,000 scores.

Since the herald was hit by the Wrath of the Ancient Dragons so soon after it was cast, he was incapacitated for almost the full duration of the mega spell. That was ten minutes. To be a free-punching bag for ten minutes long, even the large HP pool of an eternal-grade being wouldn't be enough.

Therras and Spark also joined in on the bullying, and so did Jet's pets. The place became so cramped that some were forced to only use ranged attacks. Everyone refrained from using AOE skills to not harm allies, but everyone tried their best to score as much damage as possible. They came with the mindset that it didn't matter who got the highest score as long as the Herald was defeated. Now, everyone was competing to land the most damage.

In less than five minutes, the Herald's HP reduced to twenty percent.

While they were dispensing punishment, Jack noticed Leavemealone's white tiger emperor's body burst into flames. The damage he inflicted increased then.

'Is that Fire God Suit? Shouldn't he already lose that divine skill?' Jack asked Peniel in his mind. Peniel was as clueless as him.

Since Peniel couldn't answer him, Jack asked the person directly, "Hey, Haon! What skill is that? Why does it look so much like the Fire God Suit?"

"It's not a skill," Leavemalone answered.

"Huh? Not a skill? What do you mean?" Jack asked.

"Boys, can we please focus on the task at hand?" Jeanny reproached. "You can chitchat later."

Leavemealone responded by using the Nine Yin Abyssal Finger. The dark cold energy from the ancient art was coated with blistering hot flames. The flame-enhanced ancient art pierced the Herald's shoulder and created a gaping hole. The Herald's HP dropped to below ten percent then.

"Everybody, move away! I'm going to finish this!!" Jack exclaimed. He transformed into supreme dragon form.

He also used Elevate Beast and Demonize Pet on Therras. The fight had been so easy that he didn't use them earlier.

Jack used his weapon's skill, God Annihilating Sword. He combined the attack with Soul Breath. Therras fired its earth core bomb, while Spark used its final mode and transformed into a homing bomb.

"F*ck!"

Everyone scattered when the four explosive attacks came. All four landed on the herald with perfect timing and caused combo multiplier damage.

When the explosion subsided, the Herald lay motionless on the ground. His HP was zero.

A voice notification sounded in everyone's mind, "Congratulations on conquering the ancient battleground."
