Chapter 559: Chapter 77 Response
The sudden change caused everyone’s hearts to sink.
They could all feel the terrifying power of Anvis’s annihilating particle, but under such a level of attack, the altar remained completely intact.
Where the particle passed, space twisted and annihilated, leaving behind a straight, twisted mark like a frozen oil painting.
In other words, the altar did not evade by creating a spatial interlayer, but dissolved the attack in an incomprehensible way.
Facing the gaze within the green flame column, which seemed to carry a huge oppressive feeling beyond life levels, everyone instinctively activated their strongest defense.
This was unrelated to Rank, but rather an innate sense of crisis when facing a natural enemy.
The Priest on the high platform did not care about everyone’s reactions; instead, he kneeled fervently towards the flames. Meanwhile, the green flame column had not made any move against the crowd, creating a bizarre calm in the situation.
“What is that thing?”
Amidst the restless crowd, the Last Dragon Descendant and Xia Ye Yinghuo, two players, keenly sensed something was wrong.
“Not sure, but according to my judgement as a Professional Player, something extremely dangerous must be hidden inside that column of fire, to trigger such a reaction from the natives here.”
While everyone onsite was wary and tense, many players in the live stream were watching with eager excitement.
“The boss is coming out!”
“It’s out! It’s out!”
“Wow, it’s greener than green, even the host’s helmet turned green.”
“Love is like a beam of light, green to the point of panic.”
Seeing the real experiences of high-end players was indeed a precious scene.
“Detection Skills are all question marks, but don’t panic, let me use my Secret Skill to probe the information of that thing.”
After waiting a moment and sensing no immediate danger, the risk-taking nature of players took over the Last Dragon Descendant again.
Without a doubt, the system’s innate Detection Skills had no effect on the column of fire. But he still possessed his own unique powerful ability obtained through an adventure, the Origin Demon Eye.
But just as he tentatively activated the skill, the next moment his body shuddered violently, and he quickly covered his left eye.
At the same time, a pendant hanging over his chest, resembling a miniature doll which bore some resemblance to him, instantaneously turned to ash, as though incinerated by some invisible flame.
The Last Dragon Descendant only felt a piercingly bright green flame before his eyes, and then lost the vision in his left eye amidst a stabbing pain, as if he had lost the eye completely.
However, he didn’t care about his injury, but immediately checked his status using the System Panel.
The power of the Origin Demon Eye was still present, but the Substitute Doll obtained during a high-risk hidden task had been completely destroyed.
“Damn, what level of existence is this?!”
The Last Dragon Descendant felt a pang of sorrow; the mysterious item was a gift from an old witch, designed to take one fatal blow for him before he reached level seventy.
To make this item, the old witch had traded her own life, a principle of equivalent exchange in Mysticism.
Now, its sudden destruction meant his recent action was meant to bring about a fatal crisis.
“Survived? Interesting mysterious item. But it seems that the green flame column is not a true god, nor even a vestige of a god’s consciousness.”
Anvis, witnessing this scene and being a High Rank Magic Master, immediately deduced some important information from the Elf’s transformation.
The green flame column in the center of the altar was not part of the true body of ‘Divine’, nor was it a vessel for Divine’s will. Rather, it was a medium connecting this world with the ‘Divine’ consciousness.
Specifically, the nature of that flame column was akin to a video chat window, able to see the image on the other side but unable to touch it.
This was the result of Anvis taking away many captives beforehand, thus stopping the ritual. Otherwise, it would not be a ‘video chat window’, but a true window connecting this world.
Otherwise, even with that thing’s protection, the elves couldn’t possibly survive because the ‘Mysteriousness’ of the Substitute Doll isn’t enough.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t hesitate anymore, we must now fully address the unknown presence on the altar. That entity has not left the altar and is surely still subject to some constraints; this is the best time to annihilate the enemy.
If we continue to wait and its constraints disappear, then we will be in danger!”
At this moment, Princess Starlight had already clarified the situation everyone was facing. She gathered her courage and began to persuade everyone to temporarily abandon preserving their strength and commit fully to dealing with the altar and the priest.
She wasn’t certain what that column of fire actually was, but she was certain of one thing—if everyone did nothing, the situation would only continue to deteriorate.
“Now the scope of the Radiant Secret Realm has already shrunk to the size of this city, and it’s even uncertain whether the sky outside will continue to shrink. We cannot escape, we must resolve the enemy here.”
Listening to Princess Starlight’s words, many people couldn’t help but frown, but they had to admit, she was right.
Indeed, if the sky of the Secret Realm continued to shrink, where could they flee to?
The only option was to take this opportunity for a desperate fight back now and eliminate the priest and the monster on the altar. Only then could everyone’s survival rate be maximally ensured.
“I support Her Highness’s opinion.”
At this time, Anvis, who had been mingling in the crowd as his substitute, suddenly spoke up. To show his support, he even produced a magic scroll from his hand that clearly reached the Ninth Rank.
“I also agree.”
“I agree too.”
People were somewhat surprised by Anvis’s active stance and while guessing internally whether it was some sort of signal, they also voiced their agreement with the Princess’s opinion.
Everyone still had their trump cards, it’s just that they previously did not want to reveal them.
“Alright, let’s continue the attack, even if it can still dodge in that bizarre way, it cannot escape completely unscathed.”
Supported by everyone, Princess Starlight smiled gratefully at Anvis and then immediately issued an attack directive.
Following the Third Princess’s plan, numerous powerful Ninth Rank attacks instantly charged at the altar.
Due to being indoors, everyone used single-target attacks, but the power was quite astonishing.
In face of this terrifying offensive wave, the priest did not react as if he was unaware.
However, at the core of the altar, a green flame column suddenly began to churn on its own.
It was still that same dismissive gaze sweeping over, as the flame column suddenly started swelling like a balloon, instantly forming an expanding sea of fire.
And this time, the green fire did not dodge the attacks but completely submerged all incoming attacks. Strangely, those powerful attacks carrying the force of rules disappeared without even causing a splash as they entered the fire sea.
Facing the raging and terrifying fire sea, everyone’s faces turned pale; the power of the fire could silently obliterate attacks even of the Ninth Rank, they dared not let it touch them.
But the space inside the seven-story tower was just so big, there was absolutely nowhere to hide.
And when two descendants of nobles couldn’t help but try to retreat to the sixth floor, they were horrified to find that the passage leading to the sixth floor had vanished without a trace at some unknown time.
“Where’s the passage?!”
Princess Starlight, noticing the same anomaly, her expression turned cold. She remembered clearly that the passage was guarded by someone specifically. Even just now, there hadn’t been any changes, yet now, in an instant, the passage was blocked.
But now it was too late to look for the passage, the spread of the fire sea was frighteningly fast, and it had already approached everyone.
In midair, Anvis intended to immediately leave with Yalanis, but he suddenly realized something was wrong.
This fire had no temperature or lethality, let alone extinguishing so many attacks earlier.
“Blasphemers, the divine wish to see you.”
At that moment, a hoarse voice suddenly exploded beside Anvis’s ear.
