Heroes' Prison

Chapter 921 - 870: Light of Vengeance

At this moment, players all over the world looked up at the sky, staring at Yang Yuheng, who had returned from death.

With a calm expression, his elegant priest’s robe fluttered in the wind, and atop his head was the Crown of the Draenei Race, radiating dazzling golden light. He looked like the perfect blend of a scholarly Confucian and a supreme emperor.

"Death may cause fear, but it can also bring strength!" Yang Yuheng’s deep voice resonated through the heights as he reached up to touch the crown on his head, turning it slightly.

In the next moment, the Crown of Draenei atop his head suddenly burst forth with a blinding golden light!

This golden light rose like a sun slowly emerging, casting billions of rays to illuminate the earth, shining on every face below, every ripple on the waves, and every blade of grass on the island!

The skies, previously shrouded in dark clouds, were now dispelled by the golden light emitted from Yang Yuheng’s crown, bringing back brightness to the world.

All beings gazed up in awe. Some couldn’t even bear such intense light and raised their hands to shield their eyes, yet they could still feel a distinct warmth against their skin, as though it were the real sun.

At that moment, the brilliant golden light divided rapidly into two streams, wrapping around Dao Feng and Dragon Spike, like two golden hoops firmly strengthening them. Immediately afterward, their movement speed surged dramatically, and not only that, their aura grew substantially stronger, surpassing the other few top-notch Heavenly Domain experts.

Now, Dao Feng’s two golden war blades simultaneously slashed out, one hitting Fuchan Fenrao, and the other striking the renowned Underworld War Beast beneath her.

"Thud! Thud!" Predictably, Fuchan Fenrao, along with her mount, was sent flying. She flipped several times mid-air before finally stabilizing herself. Even the protective green light around her body was visibly faltering.

Fuchan Fenrao’s eyes showed shock and fear—she hadn’t anticipated such a drastic power surge for Dao Feng!

But at that moment, Dragon Spike’s elusive figure appeared behind her, his hellish gaze locking onto her.

"Thud!" In the next instant, the sharp tip of a dagger emerged from Fuchan Fenrao’s chest, smeared with crimson blood.

Fuchan Fenrao seemed to be entirely drained of her vitality in that moment. She looked down in disbelief at the dagger protruding through her chest, and in that split second, she could smell the scent of death.

"Whoosh!" Right then, a protective green light barely arrived in time, reapplying itself onto Fuchan Fenrao and pulling her back from the brink of death.

The Ganges had finally made their move at the crucial moment!

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. The seamless cooperation between Dao Feng and Dragon Spike forced Fuchan Fenrao—a top-notch Heavenly Domain expert—to the doorstep of death, right in front of eight other top-notch Heavenly Domain experts on the enemy side! Had it not been for the timely intervention of Ganges, a super-first-class priest, Fuchan Fenrao would have undoubtedly perished.

It was only now that everyone began to grasp the terrifying power of Yang Yuheng’s skill!

The golden light emitted by Yang Yuheng’s crown was an extraordinarily powerful enhancement skill named [Light of Vengeance], which required him to die and resurrect before being activated. The skill boosted two allies’ attributes by 50% across the board for twenty minutes! And during this duration, Yang Yuheng’s durability would increase drastically, granting him a secure window to heal and support his teammates.

The ferocity Dao Feng and Dragon Spike had displayed moments ago was entirely due to their 50% attribute boost.

Currently, the Hero Legion was doing everything to stall for time because Huang Yi had instructed them to hold out until tomorrow, no matter the cost.

Huang Yi’s words were never underestimated by anyone—not even by Dao Feng, Dragon Spike, or Yang Yuheng, who were willing to exhaust every effort to fulfill his directive.

However, Yang Yuheng’s enhancement skill would only last for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, the abilities of Dao Feng and Dragon Spike would return to their normal levels.

"Yang Yuheng, it seems you barely qualify as a super-first-class expert." At this moment, a bright voice suddenly echoed from the sky.

Then, to everyone’s astonishment, countless green wind elements in the high heavens began converging from all directions, gradually forming a human figure and solidifying into tangible form.

The figure was a burly European-American man in his thirties, with a thick beard covering his face. He wore a green mage robe and wielded a green magic wand.

Though his physique was stout, he exuded a surprisingly graceful air, akin to a plump ballet dancer poised to drift away with the wind—a presence imbued with a sense of ethereal elusiveness.

The crowd immediately recognized him; he was none other than the super-first-class mage equal in fame to the Pope—the Mage Emperor Eiffel!

His accolades were innumerable—one of the ten nominees for the Best Individual Award at the Third Annual Gala; the world’s foremost wind mage; the sole name-bestowed player in the European region; the only hero in Europe...

His legendary tales could take an entire day and night to recount. Among the one billion players worldwide, there were only twenty-something super-first-class experts, and he was one of the very best.

He arrived on the scene, having just caused Yang Yuheng’s demise, and his opening remark was to deem Yang Yuheng as barely qualifying as a super-first-class expert. The tone was condescending, like a senior addressing a junior, but he was entirely entitled to speak that way!

The Mage Emperor glanced at the two circles of golden light around Dao Feng and Dragon Spike, seemingly understanding their potency. Without resorting to any major skills, he began wearing them down with normal attacks. The remaining seven top-notch Heavenly Domain experts also fought at a leisurely pace, patiently waiting for Yang Yuheng’s skill to expire.

"Brother, what should we do once Yang Yuheng’s skill wears off?" Xiao Chunzi asked nervously at this time.

Huang Yi pressed his lips together and replied, "I don’t have much of a solution, but I’ve enlisted an extremely powerful ally. I can’t break this deadlock, but he will know how to handle it."

This Chapter is quite short, only 2,000 characters. It took me a long time to write this much today, as I’m still getting back into the groove.

I’ve been discharged from the hospital and am resuming updates now. I’ve written very little recently, and my skills have become a bit rusty. The upcoming Chapters might still feel like a warm-up phase, and might not be as exciting yet, but once I regain my rhythm, the writing will flow much better. Thank you for continuing to read this book.
