Heroes' Prison

Chapter 440 - 430: Targeting Important Figures

The Kangaroo Legion’s charge was intense and imposing. Their knights rode one of the exclusive mounts of the Australian Continent, encompassing their nation’s characteristics, with Magic Kangaroos being the majority. These mounts had strong hind legs, quick speed, and could jump very high, unhindered by common obstacles.

However, facing the enemy’s charge, the Heroes’ Guild had a familiar set of tactics to counter it. Huang Yi adopted the strategy previously used against the Unbeatable Group, immediately issuing a command to the Head of the Mage Hall, the Light Demon, "Cast Dark Domain!"

The Light Demon nodded, swinging his black magic wand and raising it towards the sky to unleash his Class Exclusive Skill.

In an instant, a 100-meter radius area centered around the Light Demon turned into absolute darkness, as if the sky was stained with ink. The world beneath the sky was plunged into darkness so thick one couldn’t see their own hand in front of their face! Even the lightning from Huang Yi’s Storm of Thunder Clouds and the magma from Scorched Earth were swallowed by this darkness, struggling to shine through.

This move was the exclusive skill of the Light Demon, which turned the localized area into absolute darkness. Even players with Dark Vision were greatly affected by it.

This skill, when used against hundreds of people, consumed a lot of Energy Value. During the battle with the Unbeatable Group, the Light Demon could only sustain it for a minute or two. Fortunately, the Heroes’ Guild had an Energy Factory working at full throttle, continuously producing Energy Stones, which supported their consumption during the tournament. If it were an ordinary guild, they wouldn’t dare to use their exclusive skills so recklessly.

"Mage Dugu, cast Ice Wall!" Huang Yi commanded once again.

One of the Chief Mages from the Mage Hall, Mage Dugu, expertly waved his wand and released a towering Ice Wall towards the center of the Dark Domain, creating a barrier before the enemy.

All of this unfolded just as it had during their battle with the Unbeatable Group—simple yet highly effective.

By now, all of the Kangaroo Legion’s melee classes were enveloped within the Dark Domain, leaving only some ranged classes outside.

Seeing nothing but darkness ahead, the leader of the legion, Dennosk, was extremely frustrated. They were in Guard mode, a Major Skill that they had been saving until now. Every second was precious, and they could not afford to waste it, so they had to push through.

"Yekenbus, immediately launch refined illumination bombs! As soon as one goes out, fire the next—don’t stop!" Dennosk ordered right away!

A diminutive goblin player promptly pulled out a special gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky.

"Swoosh!" A streak of light shot up into the sky, like a meteor piercing the darkness!

"Boom!" When the meteor reached the apex, it suddenly exploded with a fierce light that illuminated the dark area like fireworks bursting in the darkness.

These illumination bombs were a refined ammunition from the goblin mechanics, with a light intensity far exceeding ordinary visible light. Not even the Dark Domain could extinguish it. But such ammunition was incredibly rare, a vestige of the Ancient Goblins, with no methods left to manufacture them. Every bomb used meant one less in their arsenal, a price that a regular scenario wouldn’t justify. But facing the Dark Domain, they had no choice but to spend the money.

"I declare, Yekenbus—you’re dead!" Just as the illumination bomb rose and burst in the sky, before it could even shed more light, Huang Yi’s Judgment voice rang out.

"Boom!" A massive bolt of lightning suddenly split the sky, bifurcating to pull Huang Yi and the goblin player named "Yekenbus" high up, isolating them from the world below.

Huang Yi’s approach was to target the enemy’s key figures. His Judgment Skill at such times was almost as if a Divine Skill. To pass Judgment on a person didn’t require a lot of Energy Value, but it could directly eliminate the opponent’s key player, significantly affecting their overall strength at an extremely high cost-effectiveness ratio!

However, the prerequisite for such a move was knowing the key figures of the opposition. Yekenbus’ very bright illumination bomb had inadvertently exposed himself, and Huang Yi spotted him instantly.

Suddenly attacked, Yekenbus was somewhat dazed as if unable to comprehend what had happened, but he didn’t have time to be confused because Huang Yi had already used Pursuit to rush over and slam down a Heavy Judgment.

"Bang!" The next moment, Yekenbus’ Health Points only decreased by a small margin and didn’t result in immediate death. His body had a peculiar "Guard" state, making him immune to most Attack Power.

This was one of the Kangaroo Legion’s trump card Major Skills. It wasn’t going to be broken so easily, otherwise Dennosk wouldn’t have tried so hard to push through the darkness to engage the Heroes’ Guild in close-quarters combat.

Seeing Yekenbus withstand so well, Huang Yi switched to attacking with his left hand. He had Thunder Left Hand, and attacking with his left was a significant improvement from his right.

Indeed, once Huang Yi slammed down with Heavy Judgment using his left hand, Yekenbus’ Health Points dropped significantly, and the damage was quite substantial.

In this manner, Huang Yi continued to pound down Heavy Judgments, turning Yekenbus into a human punching bag. He quickly reduced him to scattered pieces, ending the battle, and returning to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Dennosk was furious. A player with the ability to illuminate, who hadn’t even had the chance to shine, was wasted just like that.

"Thud, thud, thud!" As the light from the illumination bombs faded, the Kangaroo Legion’s melee fighters, blind as bats in the darkness, crashed blindly forward, soon slamming into the towering Ice Wall and descending into chaos.

"Not good, there’s an Ice Wall up ahead!" The team members shouted one after another.

Dennosk’s face was a steely blue as he continued to issue commands, "Nokasi, cast Scorching Hell, and quickly burn down that Ice Wall!"

Subsequently, a fire-attribute Rare Class Holder immediately swung his Magic Wand, and instantly released a potent fire-based skill, which engulfed the entire area, seeking to dissolve the Ice Wall.

But before this skill could be fully executed, the entire arena was once again filled with Huang Yi’s Judgment voice—

"I declare, Nokasi—dead!"

The next moment, thunder and lightning struck down, pulling both Huang Yi and Nokasi into the high skies.

After just five seconds, Nokasi fell in battle.

...

"I declare, Ancient Witch Spirit—dead!"

"I declare, Resterno—dead!"

"I declare, Fein—dead!"

In this manner, Huang Yi used his Judgment Skill to consecutively sentence key members of the Kangaroo Legion to death. However, he failed to notice some important figures, like the player who had activated Guard earlier. He couldn’t find them and didn’t know their identities.

In the audience, Chinese spectators’ screams hadn’t stopped for a moment, each time Huang Yi killed someone, their screams intensified, wave after wave, with the commentator’s voice growing more and more excited.

On the Australian side, it was a completely different scene, their faces filled with worry, and some impatient players even cursed softly.

Finally, after several tens of seconds, that powerful "Guard" status disappeared from the members of the Kangaroo Legion, but they still hadn’t charged to the Heroes’ Guild’s frontline, utterly wasting such a Major Skill.

"Alright, retract the Dark Domain, and just roll over them," Huang Yi commanded, as soon as he saw the situation.

The Light Demon immediately withdrew the Dark Domain, and the view suddenly became crystal clear. The Kangaroo Legion’s melee players were already in complete disarray, far from maintaining any formation.

Members of the Heroes’ Guild began their slow, methodical advance, covering the sky and pouring down blinding light, engulfing everyone.

Huang Yi also reactivated Scorched Earth and Storm of Thunder Clouds, charging straight towards the Kangaroo Legion, initiating Judgment, and the whirlwinds he produced dealt massive damage, causing members of the Kangaroo Legion to fall one after another!

The match suddenly displayed a one-sided trend, and by this point, it was basically declaring victory.

"I declare, Dennosk—dead!" Seeing the situation was settled, Huang Yi finally initiated Judgment against the opposing team leader.

Generally speaking, the team leader is the most formidable individual, so Huang Yi avoided sentencing them too early, as their strong opponent would slow him down, tying him up in the Void Battlefield and preventing him from supporting the battle below.

With a thunderous roar, lightning once again struck down, pulling both team leaders into the skies.

The battlefield below was essentially now occupied only by members of the Heroes’ Guild, as the Kangaroo Legion members were almost completely wiped out.

"The Heroes’ Guild is indeed formidable! Just like that, they defeated us with ease!" At that moment, Dennosk stood in the Void Battlefield, self-deprecatingly smiling at Huang Yi in Chinese.

Huang Yi didn’t attack him, but instead politely said, "You need not feel upset; your country has a sparse population and hence, fewer elites are born, making it seem somewhat powerless in such competitive tournaments. If you could produce a top-level player like Pharaoh, it would be different. This is a matter of probability, an external factor, and not due to your own lack of strength."

Dennosk shook his head, sighing, "No need to comfort us, a loss is a loss. In fact, I really wanted to fight you, but my general skills can’t defeat you, I would need to use my Ultimate Moves, but our team still has matches ahead, and for my country, I must save these skills for battles where we have a better chance of winning." After saying this, Dennosk chose to forfeit through the system, giving up on the match.

The next moment, a burst of the System Prompt echoed around—

"[System Prompt]: Heroes’ Guild has won this battle, Points +1, accumulating 1 point." (To be continued.
