Heroes' Prison

Chapter 336 - 329: The Last One

"Instakill, brother!" With that, the five hundred-man subgroup finally noticed Huang Yi and promptly greeted him with fervent enthusiasm.

"Brother Instakill, do you have any orders?" Ghost Cloud’s Words, the captain of this subgroup, immediately stepped forward and asked Huang Yi.

Huang Yi nodded at him and said, "Ghost Cloud’s Words, I just noticed that your electric current seems capable of continuously stealing the enemy’s attack power. Can this current keep stealing indefinitely?"

Ghost Cloud’s Words immediately nodded, "Yes! My Outlander Class is called Lightning Ghost, and I have both the Thunder Attributes’ output ability of a Lightning Mage and the Defense ability of a knight. The electric current you mentioned is my Rare Class Exclusive Skill called [Static Connection], which can steal an enemy target’s attack power for the use of one of our side’s targets."

"What are the exact details of that skill?" Huang Yi stroked his chin, continuing to inquire.

"This skill can steal 0.1% of an enemy’s attack power every second, but the stolen attack power cannot exceed 50% of the enemy’s attack power. However, oftentimes it doesn’t last that long because the distance between the two individuals can’t exceed 50 meters; otherwise, the current will break, and the attack power previously stolen will be returned to the enemy. If it’s a particularly agile BOSS, they might escape early, exceeding this distance."

Huang Yi pondered and asked, "Can your skill be used on others? For example, could it be cast on me, allowing me to steal a BOSS’s attack power?"

"Yes, it can!" Ghost Cloud’s Words immediately nodded.

Huang Yi suddenly smiled faintly and asked the final question, "If we were to steal a Holy Domain Warrior’s attack power, how long could you steal with your full 3000 Energy Points?"

After considering it for a moment, Ghost Cloud’s Words replied, "The Holy Domain Warrior’s level is more than double mine. With 3000 Energy Points, I estimate that you could steal for about five minutes, roughly getting you 30% of its attack power. Once my Energy Value is exhausted, the attack power you’ve stolen will be returned to the opponent."

"Great! Then later, you’ll join me in fighting the Half-beast Chieftain." Huang Yi patted Ghost Cloud’s Words on the shoulder and immediately took out a Grade-C Energy Stone, placing it in his hand, "Replenish your energy to full!"

With Ghost Cloud’s Words’ Exclusive Skill, Huang Yi would have a much easier time dealing with the Chieftain. If things went smoothly, with the help of Ghost Cloud’s Words, he could steal 30% of the Chieftain’s attack power. The Chieftain was a powerful Holy Domain Warrior, and 30% of its attack power would definitely skyrocket Huang Yi’s own Attack Power by a significant margin. Now, the Chieftain’s blood-red domain was unyielding, its Defense far too high—only by significantly increasing Attack Power would there be a possibility to break through it.

And once the Chieftain lost 30% of its Attack Power, its threat would greatly decrease. With this comparative advantage, the battle would become much easier.

"Understood!" Ghost Cloud’s Words nodded decisively, clutching the Energy Stone tightly.

After that, Huang Yi left this place and continued to patrol the battlefield.

He was highly mobile; he would descend wherever there were many Half-Beastmen, unleash a round of large-area abilities like "Scorched Earth," "End of the World," and "Plague," slaughtering away and easing the pressure on the members of the Hero Guild.

Now, the members of the Hero Guild had gained the absolute upper hand, killing increasingly fewer Half-Beastmen. From time to time, someone leveled up; the Experience Points from those high-level BOSSes on the battlefield were extremely rich, and their deaths signified a downpour of vast Experience Points.

"Five thousand Fire Mages, get ready; all cast Towering Sea of Fire!" At this moment, Huang Yi saw a five thousand-man Fire Mage Group ahead with the group captain’s voice issuing commands. This group consisted entirely of Fire Mages with extremely strong attack power.

Following the subdivision captain’s order, the five thousand Fire Mages immediately used a large-area damage skill [Towering Sea of Fire], throwing it down at a formation of tens of thousands of Half-Beastmen ahead.

In an instant, a towering inferno filled the entire view where the flames seemed to turn the world into a sea of fire!

The tens of thousands of Half-Beastmen, being the first to bear the brunt, were immediately engulfed by the sea of fire from the five thousand Fire Mages, all sustaining colossal damage. The screams of thousands echoed simultaneously, a staggering and magnificent sight!

"Three thousand hunters, prepare; all release Arrow Rain!" A command came from the captain of a group of Bow Hunters.

Subsequently, three thousand Bow Hunters mercilessly shot their bow and arrows into the Half-Beastmen within the sea of fire, their arrows blotting out the sky densely packed.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" The dense sounds of arrows piercing flesh rose, accompanied by the Half-Beastmen’s screams, sounding unusually gratifying.

"Two thousand warriors, initiate Charge!" A Warrior Group captain shouted, swinging his Great Sword forward and taking the lead in the charge.

Quickly after, two thousand warriors surged like a torrent towards the Half-Beastmen with depleted health in the sea of fire, stunning one after another. Their weapons slammed down crazily.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Gradually, one Half-Beastman after another fell to the ground!

After enduring several rounds of attacks, over ten thousand Half-Beastmen were virtually massacred to extinction.

This is what a large-scale war looks like, where an individual’s power is virtually negligible. A coordinated attack by several large groups could slaughter over ten thousand Half-Beastmen. If it were up to one person fighting solo, who knows how long it would take.

At this moment, such scenes were common throughout the battlefield. The Hero Guild’s detachments, large and small, were cooperating in an orderly fashion, while the group of Half-Beastmen, lacking any organization, were getting slaughtered without any strength to retaliate.

As time ticked by, second by second, the battlefield grew quieter with fewer and fewer screams of the Half-Beastmen. The ground was littered with their corpses, their blood dyeing the grass red.

Huang Yi flew overhead, looking out over the plain, which was now dominated by members of the Hero Guild. They held their Slaying Flags aloft; a night breeze came through, flickering the flames of torches and illuminating the ferocious character for "Kill" on the banners.

This tribe was essentially exterminated.

Next, Huang Yi’s focus shifted to his physical body.

His body was still leading the Chieftain around. The Chieftain, who had been severely injured during the fight with the Criminal Incarnation a few days earlier, had lost an arm and had a huge gaping wound in his left side, making walking extremely difficult. This Holy Domain Warrior moved even slower than a Raptor, never able to catch up.

"Instakill! You’ve brought such devastation upon our tribe, I will skin you alive!" the Half-Beast Chieftain bellowed frantically as he chased after Huang Yi.

Looking down, Huang Yi noticed the ground beneath his feet was still red: the Chieftain’s domain had not disappeared, likely a skill that could persist until death.

"Alright then! Let’s have ourselves a fight!" shouted Huang Yi, turning his Raptor around a corner and heading towards the plain where the battle had been.

With the Chieftain in tow, Huang Yi crashed through tree after tree, finally returning to the site of the plain’s battlefield.

Now, the fight here had completely subsided, with several hundred thousand Half-Beastmen slain. The players of the Hero Guild were picking up loot from the ground in an organized and disciplined manner. After the fight, the logistical units would perform a detailed inventory and collect all the spoils into the Guild Warehouse.

"My dear subjects! I will avenge you!" The Chieftain saw the scene before him, and his once fellow tribespeople, the Half-Beast Warriors with whom he had conquered countless small tribes, had completely vanished from his sight.

With the situation now beyond salvaging, he was the only one left in the tribe.

"All Rare Class Holders, come and stand by! Attack the Half-Beast Chieftain at any opportunity!" Huang Yi immediately used the legion mode, taking command of the fifty-thousand-strong army, and everyone heard his voice.

The next moment, all Rare Class Holders put down what they were doing and rushed over from every corner and sub-group toward Huang Yi, displaying absolute obedience.

At present, among this half-million-strong army, there were around twenty-five Rare Class Holders. Ordinary skills might not pose a threat to the Chieftain, but the unique Exclusive Skills of each Rare Class Holder could pose a huge threat. Perhaps they could even directly change the outcome of this battle—like the exclusive skill of Ghost Cloud’s Words.

Soon, all twenty-five Rare Class Holders had gathered near Huang Yi, confronting the Chieftain from afar, and a heavy atmosphere enveloped the field.

"Hmph! You ants, with the secret technique of the domain handed down by my Half-Beast ancestors, you will never kill me within this domain!" The Chieftain looked down upon the puny humans before him and said in a deep voice.

"Is that so? Well, I’ll have a go!" said Huang Yi, turning to glance back at the twenty-five Rare Class Holders behind him and giving Ghost Cloud’s Words a slight nod.

Then, Huang Yi, carrying two Broadaxes, charged at the Chieftain, who was several times larger than himself!

...

Meanwhile, deep within the Half-Beast Tribe’s altar, hundreds of thousands of Half-Beastmen still stood, each with solemn faces. The cries of women and children had not ceased.

The son of the Half-Beast Chieftain—Blood Night, Liu Ying, stood motionless at the very front of the line, gazing up at the distant sky. Earlier, that layer of sky had been burnt crimson, with the dense screams of the Half-Beastmen echoing through. But now, the glow had dimmed significantly, and the screams of the Half-Beastmen were no longer heard, as if signaling that all was lost.

Just then, a figure burst forth from the forest in front of them—it was a Half-Beast Scout.

The scout came directly before Liu Ying, knelt down with a "thud," and cried out, "Young Master Liu Ying, our tribe has been completely annihilated, with only the Chieftain still fighting. Judging by the current situation, our defeat is certain. Please, as the Chieftain instructed before, lead the last of our tribe’s people to use the Altar Teleportation and escape to the southern lands."
