Chapter 817 - 775: The Fall of a Master
The commander of the Sate Legion, Silver Wolf, and the commander of the North Africa Legion, Original Sin Spirit, are actually brothers from the Rose Prison! They are family with Huang Yi!
On the surface, they appeared to lead their respective legions to invade Hero’s Continent, but in reality, it was a contingency plan secretly arranged by Huang Yi.
At this moment, under the gaze of countless onlookers, Huang Yi slowly walked to the side of Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled: "Second Brother Who Studies Medicine, don’t worry, I told you I would protect your city. Look, it’s safe now, isn’t it?"
Second Brother Who Studies Medicine was on the verge of spitting blood. He would rather see this city destroyed than let it fall into Huang Yi’s hands!
But now, he could only forcibly suppress the fury in his heart and let out a forced laugh: "Heh, heh."
Heavenly Medicine City was finished. He could only hurry to deploy troops to defend the other sub-territory cities in an attempt to salvage some losses.
"Oh, by the way!" Just then, as if remembering something, Huang Yi kept looking at Second Brother Who Studies Medicine and continued, "I forgot to tell you. Didn’t I send Paraclete, Sunset, and Overlord to protect the other sub-territories of your guild? Well, those cities are now part of the Hero Empire’s lands. Rest assured, no one will dare touch those cities now."
Second Brother Who Studies Medicine’s body trembled. Any remaining glimmer of hope in his heart was utterly obliterated, leaving him standing there, dazed!
Huang Yi patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Alright, I need to go now. T.N.T and the others are about to attack the Hero Empire—I need to see how that plays out!"
Finishing his words, Huang Yi shot a deep glance at Second Brother Who Studies Medicine before promptly leaving the scene.
And right behind him, Second Brother Who Studies Medicine suddenly collapsed unconscious without warning!
He had lost everything!
His guild, his city, his territory—everything was gone!
All because he had offended Huang Yi!
One wrong decision, and he lost it all!
Thus, the plan to entrap Huang Yi fell into ruin!
He was never truly trapped in Heavenly Medicine City; instead, he captured it, along with all the sub-territory cities of the Heavenly Medicine Guild!
...
Meanwhile, T.N.T, Ganges, and Kid—the three Super-First Masters—had also just received the news of the Heavenly Medicine Guild’s destruction.
"What do we do now? Should we keep advancing? God of Slaughter has returned." Kid turned to T.N.T, asking as their forces were still marching forward, the plan to attack the Hero Empire yet to truly commence.
T.N.T frowned, gazing at the endless troops under the night sky, and said, "We need to be cautious with God of Slaughter. For now, let’s wait and see if Ganges succeeds. If he successfully uses the Frenzy Curse on the Harbinger of Doomsday, we’ll still have a chance. Let’s wait for his update!"
"Alright, we’ll wait here, then." Kid nodded, then issued an order to his Freedom Legion: "Everyone, halt the march!"
The troops, which were charging urgently toward the Hero Empire, all stopped in their tracks, too afraid to proceed.
This vast Super-First-Class Legion, stretching far beyond the horizon, was completely paralyzed by the mere presence of one man.
"Hmm? No good!" Just then, Kid suddenly exclaimed, "Our Freedom Legion’s base camp on Hero’s Continent has just been attacked by the Hero Legion! And it’s Gentleman personally leading the forces! We left too few men behind. I have to return immediately!"
Saying this, he quickly pulled out a Teleportation Scroll, trying to return as rapidly as possible.
"What’s going on?" T.N.T immediately furrowed his brow. "How does this look like we’re ambushing God of Slaughter when it seems more like he’s laying a trap for us? Not only wasn’t he ensnared, but now he’s attacking your Freedom Legion’s base! Did he already know?"
"We’re doomed!" Kid mumbled suddenly, clutching the scroll, "We already used a Legion Teleportation Scroll earlier to get here. It’s still on cooldown. If we want to go back and help, we’ll have to march on foot!"
At that moment, Kid felt a chill down his spine. By the time they covered such a vast distance, their base camp would already be destroyed!
"It’s a setup—it’s God of Slaughter’s scheme! He knew all about our plan! Retreat immediately! We can’t attack the Hero Empire anymore; he’s already set a trap targeting us." T.N.T finally realized this was yet another of Huang Yi’s intricate strategies. He wasted no time issuing a retreat order, decisively abandoning the plan to attack the Hero Empire!
He then sent a message to Ganges, who had ventured alone into the Hero Empire.
...
Elsewhere, Ganges was traversing a section of Hero Empire territory alone, gripping the Berserk Curse Potion tightly in his hand, his eyes nervously scanning the surroundings, fearing the Harbinger of Doomsday might ambush him at any time.
Upon encountering the Harbinger of Doomsday, the enemy would undoubtedly see him too. Ganges possessed a life-saving skill that lasted for twenty seconds, meaning he had to be ready to use the Berserk Curse Potion instantly and unleash the curse within that timeframe.
As long as he could enrage the Harbinger of Doomsday, the Hero Empire would face a massive crisis!
But just then, a new message arrived from T.N.T.
When he opened it, he saw only a single, brief sentence:
"Ganges, retreat immediately!"
The words were short but carried immense weight, striking his heart with urgency.
Unwilling to linger any longer, Ganges turned to leave right away.
"Ganges, since you’re here, why leave so soon?" Suddenly, Huang Yi’s voice rang out.
Ganges looked on in shock as a figure emerged from the sand dunes ahead—it was none other than Huang Yi. He stood quietly under the moonlight, blocking his path!
"God of Slaughter, you’re in Reincarnation, and this is just your Incarnation. What strength do you have to stop me?" Ganges sneered dismissively.
But internally, his guard was fully raised, his eyes darting constantly. With Huang Yi’s appearance, the Harbinger of Doomsday’s arrival now seemed highly likely. Instinctively, he tightened his grip on the Berserk Curse Potion in his hand.
Huang Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Strange. Second Brother Who Studies Medicine just said something similar earlier. Could it be the two of you are connected?"
Ganges paused for a moment, but then forced a laugh and replied, "You’re quite amusing, God of Slaughter. Now that you’re here, the Harbinger of Doomsday should be here too, right? There’s no need for you to waste time—your strength won’t be enough to kill me. Bring him out already!" He turned his head, scanning his surroundings in an attempt to provoke the Harbinger of Doomsday into appearing.
Because as soon as the Harbinger showed up, he would instantly use the Berserk Curse Potion to enrage him.
"There’s no need for him to act—I’ll be the one to send you off!" Huang Yi said, then uttered a single sentence: "Ganges—die."
In the next moment, before Ganges could react, everything went dark, and he received a death notification, sent to the Death Space.
Huang Yi had killed him with just one sentence!
At the same time, a profound, far-reaching announcement resounded across the land—
"[Continental Announcement]: [God of Slaughter] has killed [Ganges]."
The second Super-First-Class Master of this war had fallen!
Ganges, leader of the Indian players, had become the second Super-First-Class Master to perish at the hands of God of Slaughter, following Dante!
This continental announcement was public; every player on Hero’s Continent, regardless of whether they were from the invading army, local forces, or even the journalists live-streaming the event, could hear it. In fact, it could even be broadcast worldwide!
No one had witnessed the duel between Huang Yi and Ganges, but this only heightened the public’s fascination. While Huang Yi remained within Reincarnation, nothing more than an Incarnation—how had he managed to kill a Super-First-Class Master like Ganges?
Sometimes, simply knowing the outcome without seeing the process is even more captivating than observing the entire battle.
"Could it have been the instant-kill potion?" In the Death Space, surrounded by endless darkness, a vexed Ganges muttered his suspicion.
Huang Yi had previously taken down enemies with similar ease using only a single word, and the instant-kill potion offered just that kind of lethality! Naturally, Ganges inferred this was the cause.
He felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness. Huang Yi, even in his Reincarnation state, even as a mere Incarnation, seemed utterly invincible.
Last time, Ganges had lost his fleet to Huang Yi!
This time, he was personally killed by Huang Yi, losing a level in the process!
In both of their engagements during this national war, he had suffered complete defeat.
Sighing deeply, Ganges resurrected himself and finally left Hero Empire territory.
Huang Yi stood silently at the site of Ganges’ death.
There, under the bright moonlight, lay a potion reflecting its radiance, dazzling in its brightness.
Though Ganges had a non-drop equipment attribute upon death, it didn’t extend to all items! Holding the Berserk Curse Potion in hand moments before death and failing to store it within his storage ring meant the potion was dropped!
Huang Yi smiled faintly and walked over to pick up the potion, inspecting it—
[Berserk Curse Potion] (S-grade, Magic Item - Potion)
Upon use, casts a Berserk Curse on an NPC, reducing the target’s defense by 90%, doubling their attack power, rendering them devoid of any intelligence and causing them to attack all living things in sight. Duration: 2 hours. After the effect wears off, the target will fall into a coma lasting 24 hours. Ineffective against demigods.
Finally, he had secured this potion!
The reason he had rushed to kill Ganges was solely to obtain this potion!
S-grade potions came in a myriad of types—even the world’s greatest pharmacist, Miyamoto Musashi, could only craft a small portion of them, with many remaining beyond his ability to reproduce.
Huang Yi had no stable source of S-grade potions either. His Medicine Bottle randomly bred potions, and ever since it had produced two drops of instant-kill potion, it hadn’t yielded any other top-level potions.
Now, this Berserk Curse Potion wasn’t merely a high-grade potion for him.
It offered a perfect solution to one of his biggest current problems.
