Chapter 459 - 210
Charging into the Green Skins’ formation, Lin Rui no longer conserved his Spiritual Energy Value; it was now the time to go all-in. If he couldn’t achieve victory, death was the only alternative.
So at the onset of the battle, Lin Rui immediately unleashed Tenfold Casting, and fifty mirror images wielding legendary longswords densely appeared across several kilometers of the battlefield, their blades dancing wildly, slaughtering all the nearby monsters mercilessly.
[Unique Skill · Instant Prison: Shadow Kill Array lv3: Instantly summon five mirror images to attack the target from five directions. During the Spirit Magic duration, the user can exchange positions with any mirror image. Mirror images take 200% extra damage and inherit 80% Attack Power, lasting for 120 seconds. Consumes 1450 points of Spiritual Energy, with a cooldown of 90 seconds.]
This skill’s upgrade speed was notably slower than that of Ice Blade Frost Splendor. When killing the Hydra in the Demon Cage under the Divine Hall of Dawn, Ice Blade Frost Splendor was already at lv5, and now it had advanced to lv7.
But the mirror image skill had only barely reached lv3, yet its effect was still very apparent. It not only could summon five mirror images directly, but each image inherited 80% of the Attack Power. Lin Rui’s 80% strength was something even Demigod-level beings would despair at.
Especially now that Lin Rui’s Spiritual Energy was exhausted, relying on blood to cast skills.
The Tenfold Destiny Card was fully revealed, and Wutong’s blessing was included.
The sword edge was so sharp it sent shivers down one’s spine; a mere touch would cleave through the waist.
The fifty mirror images charged back and forth within the army formation, bringing fifty sites of blood and carnage, with dismembered limbs scattered everywhere around each mirror image.
More crucially, the mirror image’s duration had already exceeded the cooldown time by half a minute!
Mirror images can exist for 120 seconds, while the cooldown is only 90 seconds.
This means that as long as he was willing to pay the price, even the mirror images alone could pull out a squad!
And soon, the Green Skins creatures discovered that this was indeed happening in reality.
Tenfold Casting merely consumed 14500 points of Life Value, something Lin Rui could fully afford.
Lin Rui, who had just leveled up to Tier Four, boasted a Life Value of 35170, with a Spiritual Energy Value reaching 38200.
Now, being at Tier Four level 25, both his Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value had already surpassed 40000.
The 14500 Life Value consumption only accounted for about one-third of his total Life Value.
Without sparing any cost, over a hundred mirror images spread over several leagues, wreaking havoc.
Even the hero-commanded Green-skinned Army couldn’t withstand his frenzied slaughter, collapsing in chaos with heavy casualties.
The Tier Nine Great Shaman, hesitating all along, finally decided to act, pointing his Magic Staff to the sky, bringing down dense, frosty thunderbolts.
The entire battlefield fell silent, instantly clearing out several kilometers of space, with all Green Skins within turning into pools of flesh and blood, while nearly one-third of the mirror images vanished.
Seeing this scene, everyone engaged in fierce combat was terrified to the core—what kind of horrifying output capability was this?
Is this the level of Martial strength?
Fortunately, Lin Rui managed to escape unscathed, watching the mirror images dissipate in the blink of an eye from afar; even he took a deep breath—the Green Skinned Great Shaman was really ruthless.
To kill him, he didn’t hesitate to clear out the Green Skins within several kilometers.
He cursed furiously, "They’re not your soldiers, so it’s easy to go all out, right? To kill me, did you indiscriminately kill thirty or forty thousand Green Skins?"
And clearly, to the Tier Nine Great Shaman, mere thirty or forty thousand Green Skins were insignificant. With his Tier Nine strength, he viewed these non-Super-Tier mortal armies just like Lin Rui viewed Fishmen of lower tiers. Moreover, with currently over a million Green Skins at his disposal, Lin Rui wouldn’t even care about the life or death of thirty or forty thousand Little Fishmen.
Hence, in another moment, dense thunderbolts descended again, clearing several leagues of space. The entire battlefield seemed to have been reaped by the Scythe of Death, with life nearly entirely extinguished over a breadth of several leagues and a length of nearly ten leagues, save for a few terrifying Supreme-Tier beings who could withstand such damage.
Lin Rui’s luck was indeed very good; only on the third occurrence did the bombardment reach his true location.
Annoyed, he shouted, "Yueqian, if you don’t trigger the [Historically Significant] trait now, you might really preserve your Holy Body forever!"
In the nick of time, the system’s pleasant voice finally rang out.
[Ding, Territorial Essence added successfully; civilization expanded through integration, acquiring the Historically Significant Trait. All territory buildings, resource points, and items receive a cyclical time reward.]
In the next moment, over a hundred mirror images reappeared in the Green Skins’ formation, and before the thunder descended, Lin Rui instantly shifted positions, emerging several leagues away.
"Ah! That sly human sprout!" The Tier Nine Goblin Great Shaman instantly roared in furious anger, "I’m going to smash you and turn your skull into a wine goblet."
Lin Rui let out a heavy sigh of relief, finally successfully escaping the ordeal.
However, the battlefield situation remained grim; although the Tier Nine Goblin Great Shaman had shattered tens of thousands of Green Skins, with the [Historically Significant] trait triggered, tens of thousands of Green Skins emerged again, showing no decline in scale.
The only consolation was that the status of all the soldiers in the territory had completely recovered to the optimum level.
In the next moment, the same bombardment descended upon the Green Skins’ army.
The territory army immediately unleashed full firepower, with dense Spirit Magic strikes and an overwhelming barrage obscuring the sky once more.
