Chapter 555: Chapter 73: Dominating the Battlefield
“We cannot allow the enemy to keep dragging this on, or it’s likely to become problematic.”
Anvis immediately thought of many things. It had been more than three Magic Hours since he started livestreaming for help, and the news must have spread on the outside by now.
Under the pressure that the Ninth Rank Limit might arrive at the battlefield at any moment, if the enemy isn’t planning to flee, then they would have to fight with their backs against the wall and complete their agenda before reinforcements arrive.
The fact that the enemy is deliberately dragging out time only indicates that the Priest is likely preparing something and does not want to be disturbed.
Saying goodbye to the two people guarding the passage, Anvis and his group quickly ascended to the third floor.
Whatever the enemy wants to do, we will stop it.
They hadn’t even stepped out of the staircase when a blast mixed with fluctuations of Magic Power suddenly hit their faces.
The air was filled with a strange smell akin to burning rubber, and the glow of various schools of magic flickered in the distance,
The third floor of the high tower originally had the unique structure of a Magic Garden. Millions of years ago, this place might have grown numerous rare magical herbs and plants.
However, at this time, the soil in the garden was severely contaminated with black-green blood emitting intense magical radiation.
A large number of faceless cultists, along with countless terrifying beings as if they had stepped out of a nightmare, surged toward the many Professionals like a black-green tide.
They writhed with weirdly viscous tar-like bodies, emitting unpleasant screams and gurgling sounds, and tentacles protruded from their amorphous bodies trying desperately to pull people into their mass.
Many Spellcasters had by then set up multiple amplifying and suppressing Arrays to enhance everyone’s strength and jointly fight off and annihilate the approaching wave of monsters.
Among those fighting the bizarre beings, the most radiant was still Princess Starlight, the Third Princess.
At this moment, she wore a white Magic Ceremony Dress, and with a Magic Wand embedded with Silver Moon gemstone in her hand, she held a divine-like, inviolable demeanor.
With every gesture, she unleashed enormously powerful spells as if they had no cost, reaping the enemies’ lives. Occasionally, a casual point of her wand would cause a strange creature to disintegrate without warning.
However, there was also a follower burning with a thin layer of Divine Power Green Flames, whose aura was deep and terrifying, fiercely battling her, attempting to prevent her from striking down other ordinary monsters.
There are two more similar followers burning with Green Flames; at the moment, they are being tackled by the strongest individuals present. Apart from the Third Princess who could handle one on her own, the other two were held in check by groups of two or three.
Seeing the current state of the battlefield, unable to greet any acquaintances, Anvis and the others immediately entered combat mode.
Initially, the others didn’t pay much attention, but as soon as Anvis released three Curse Plutonium Dragons, demonstrating his ability to control them, the situation changed drastically.
A Level Eight Rank and two Level Seven Peak Rank Giant Dragons, along with two Level Eight Rank Mithril Demon Statues, undoubtedly constituted a formidable force not to be underestimated in the Radiant Secret Realm where the Level Limit is capped below Ninth Rank.
Lanno, seemingly out of some consideration, did not deploy the previously seen Eighth Rank Composite Magic-guided Mechanical, merely depending on his own combat strength to take it easy. Landon and the others did the same.
This made Anvis’s performance stand out even more, drawing the sideways glances of many people.
Anvis now did not hide his strength; he intended to show off his dominant side in front of the livestream of the Last Dragon Descendant.
There was good news; through the livestream of the Last Dragon Descendant, Anvis’s act of distributing tasks to many players watching the livestream could indeed influence the Net of Destiny.
Currently, he had received the first wave of destiny feedback. The amount wasn’t large, only about a thousand units, but this was just the beginning.
As the news spread, the influence of the Net of Destiny would grow increasingly significant.
The arrival of Anvis and his companions broke the balance of the battlefield. The previously evenly matched state of the different species and Professionals, with the addition of new high-end combat power, immediately began to retreat beast by beast.
The three Giant Dragons and two Eighth Rank Demon Statues made short work of those alien beings, while the originally overwhelmed Professionals went to support other battles, and the advantage grew like a snowball.
“That female NPC is so beautiful! Is this what love at first sight feels like?”
“Ah, my god Anvis is so powerful! He took control of the situation as soon as he appeared!”
“Why didn’t Prince Lanno use that big guy from before?”
“Not sure, probably just for show. It probably wilted under so many people watching.”
Most players’ mindsets are very simple and unsophisticated: With so many fighting indecisively, as soon as Anvis arrived, the situation was immediately controlled, so it definitely must be due to Anvis’ merit.”
Meanwhile, Third Princess Starlight, battling alone against a powerful Green Flame Follower, also stole the spotlight, gaining many players a new beloved.
During this time, there were expert players analyzing the battle, explaining that it wasn’t that Anvis was too strong, but that the situation was originally at a delicate balance point. Adding any force to either side of the scale would completely tip it.
But these rational comments were instantly drowned out by a huge amount of chaotic barrage, not even a splash could be seen.
The parties actually fighting in the field, of course, did not know any of this.
“Roar—!!”
Noticing that the situation was starting to collapse, the three Green Flame Followers suddenly disregarded their own injuries, and without any indication, simultaneously unleashed powerful moves.
After pushing back the somewhat unprepared opponents, they beckoned a large number of senseless monsters with their minds to cover their retreat while heading unwaveringly towards the transport passage in the upper levels of the tower, preparing to leave the battlefield.
“Thinking of escaping? Stay!!”
Seeing this, Princess Starlight who had long been preparing in secret, finally exploded. A circle of complex and gorgeous azure-blue Array lit up under her feet, and astounding Magic Fluctuations instantly permeated the entire battlefield.
Accompanied by a light chuckle, she gently raised the Silver Moon-colored long-handle Magic Wand in her hand, pointing distantly towards the body of that strongest Green Flame Follower she had previously battled.
Without any earth-shattering sound and light effects, the Green Flame Follower who was about to escape through the portal suddenly froze, and then started to convulse in pain.
Divine Power Flames in a ghostly green on its body, under the erosion of some force, quickly dimmed and vanished, then crumbled and disintegrated just like those ordinary monsters.
“Hmph—”
After delivering this terrifying strike, Princess Starlight also felt unwell. Her body suddenly shook, and then she barely managed to steady herself with her Magic Wand.
Enduring the emptiness caused by the severe depletion of Magic Power within her, she tried hard to maintain her dignified posture, looking majestically at the people who came to support her.
“Princess Starlight, Olivendi is here to support.”
Seeing the battle was over, Anvis greeted the princess with noble etiquette, while also withdrawing his summoned creatures, leaving only a Secret Silver Magic Statue for self-defense, subtly indicating that he had no intention of competing for a leadership position.
His and the princess’s goals were aligned now, there was no need for pointless infighting.
“Good, let’s continue pushing towards the top level.”
Glancing indifferently at Anvis, Yalanis, and Lanno, Princess Starlight nodded her head, not saying much.
Although she wanted to speak a few words with her brother, it was not the right moment and time did not permit it.
Some members of the team, however, glanced at the person beside them, their eyes flickering for a while, seemingly forming some ideas.
Anvis’s position had always been somewhat ambiguous, it was unclear which faction he belonged to.
Because he had previously been ‘obsessed’ with Mysticism and had always been portrayed as a Scholar, his own Strength wasn’t strong, so he hadn’t attracted much attention.
But now that he has displayed unexpectedly formidable power, it’s something that can’t be ignored.
