Chapter 128: Curse! Request to Join Battle!
A cold wind accompanied the black mist.
Lin Moyu had felt a similar aura before - the aura of Abyss demons.
Then, countless black dots emerged from the mist.
Abyss Hellhounds, in shocking numbers.
It was hard to count, they were densely packed, probably over ten thousand.
As soon as they appeared, the Hellhounds charged towards Fortress No. 1, howling as they ran.
Then demons appeared from the black mist.
They were mostly Abyss Dog Demons like the one Lin Moyu had killed before, levels 36-38.
As Shi Xing’an had said, the Abyss couldn’t teleport high-level demons here.
Facing the oncoming enemies, many career holders became nervous.
They usually only fought small numbers of monsters in dungeons.
They had never faced such a massive number of enemies before.
Everyone gripped their weapons, palms and foreheads sweating.
At this time, Ni Xiong released his final skill.
Skill: Morale Boost!
[Morale Boost: Cast away fear, raise fighting spirit. For 10 minutes, defense +30%, attack +30%.]
This was the final pre-battle buff.
In the blink of an eye, the Hellhounds had charged across a thousand meters, arriving at the city.
The warriors shouted in unison, morale high, clashing with the Hellhounds for the first time.
On the city walls, arrows rained down like rain, mage spells covering the sky.
Mo Yun in mid-air, her unicorn spat out a huge ball of light imbued with holy power. It fell and exploded with a boom.
Over a dozen Hellhounds were blasted away, dying on the spot.
She was level 39, while the Hellhounds were only level 31.
Holy power also had a suppressing effect on Hellhounds.
Plus all the status buffs.
Under her attack, the Hellhounds could only be instantly killed.
"Tsk tsk, the little girl is powerful!"
"Come back and have my babies!"
Sinister laughter rang out as Abyss demons flew in. A Dog Demon swung its spiked mace at Mo Yun.
Mo Yun’s unicorn reacted extremely fast, quickly turning to dodge while kicking the Dog Demon.
The Dog Demon flew back with a miserable scream.
But the next second, more demons flew over to surround and attack Mo Yun.
For a time, Mo Yun could only deal with the demons, unable to spare effort to fight the Hellhounds.
On the city walls, mages and archers were attacking with full force, spells and arrows raining down like raindrops.
Lin Moyu pointed, and 70 skeleton mages appeared below the city wall.
"What the hell?"
"Where did all these skeletons come from?!"
"Damn, they’re all mages!"
The sudden appearance of the skeleton mages startled those on the city walls.
But the next second they relaxed, because the skeleton mages had collectively started attacking the Hellhounds.
The skeleton mages’ attacks were stronger than level 30 mages, their immense spirit power giving them extraordinary endurance. They didn’t need to worry about consumption at all.
The skeleton mages were like war machines, becoming turrets constantly firing spells.
"That scared me, I thought they were Abyss skeletons. I almost attacked."
"Don’t joke, where would the Abyss get skeletons?"
"Don’t make a fuss. Skeletons are undead. The Abyss doesn’t have undead monsters, at least I’ve never seen any."
"By the way, whose summons are these? There are so many."
Some people unconsciously looked towards Lin Moyu.
They had seen Lin Moyu’s skeletons before and knew how powerful they were.
After sending out the skeleton mages, skeleton warriors also appeared.
140 skeleton warriors jumped down from the city walls, joining the battle.
Even without any status buffs, the level 24 skeleton warriors with 18,000 in all four attributes far surpassed level 30+ knights and warriors.
They completely overwhelmed the Hellhounds.
"These skeletons are so powerful."
"Not just powerful, there are so many of them."
"This summoner is too amazing. When did such an overpowered career appear?"
"I think each skeleton is comparable to a top warrior."
"This battle is in the bag!"
Lin Moyu raised his hand, his palm glowing red.
Skill: Slow Curse!
With a huge boom, red light enveloped the entire area.
Red shackles appeared above all the Hellhounds’ heads.
Their speed instantly slowed.
3600 meter range, 36 times speed reduction.
The Hellhounds’ movements became like slow-motion film.
The career holders were caught off guard for a moment, but then rejoiced.
"Wow, whose skill is this? The effect is too strong!"
"They’ve slowed by dozens of times. They’re no threat at all now."
"This is like playing a game."
"Quick, let’s shoot these targets."
Some demons surrounding Mo Yun in the air were also affected by the curse, their speed greatly reduced.
But their higher levels and stronger attributes meant they were still much better off than the Hellhounds.
"Curse! Damn humans!"
A roar came from the black mist a thousand meters away.
The Slow Curse’s range was so large, even the being in the black mist seemed affected.
Lin Moyu guessed the black mist must lead to the Abyss, though he wasn’t sure exactly where.
A burst of flames suddenly erupted from the black mist.
The flames exploded into a sky full of fire, burning fiercely.
Strangely, these flames didn’t burn people, but burned the Slow Curse shackles.
The shackles quickly faded in the flames, then shattered.
The curse was dispelled. The Hellhounds and Dog Demons rapidly returned to normal.
At this time, more Dog Demons rushed out of the black mist, numbering over a hundred.
As soon as they appeared, they charged into the battlefield. Some rushed towards Mo Yun to surround and kill her.
"Haha, without the curse, you can all die!"
"I didn’t expect you humans to have career holders skilled in curses too."
"Useless. We Abyss demons are the ancestors of curses."
"You’ll all die!"
The demons shouted crazily.
Their joy lasted less than a second.
The next second, the curse net fell again.
Still Slow Curse.
The wild shouts abruptly cut off, even dragging out.
You can dispel the curse, so I’ll just cast it again.
You dispel once, I cast once. Let’s see who’s faster.
Flames appeared in the sky again, burning the shackles to dispel the curse.
Lin Moyu recast the curse the instant it disappeared.
Back and forth, neither side giving an inch.
The unfortunate ones were the Abyss demons and Hellhounds.
The battle rhythm was completely disrupted.
Fast then slow, the battle gradually turned into a farce.
The human career holders were unaffected. They killed with enthusiasm, causing massive casualties in a short time.
Under the curse’s influence, the Hellhounds had no ability to resist. They were cleared out one by one.
The career holders were having a blast. They had never felt so good.
A Dog Demon fell from the sky, killed by Mo Yun.
With their speed reduced so much, it looked like over a dozen Dog Demons were surrounded by Mo Yun instead.
The unicorn’s attacks were incredibly fierce, each strike dealing huge damage to the Dog Demons.
The demon in the black mist went mad, the mist churning wildly.
"You should die!"
An angry voice came from the mist.
Lin Moyu ignored it, continuing what he was doing.
Curse after curse, you can’t burn them as fast as I can cast them.
The battlefield rhythm had been completely disrupted.
An angry roar came from the mist, followed by ethereal flames surging out in all directions.
The flames burned continuously, burning away the curse, no longer giving Lin Moyu a chance to recast.
Without the curse, the battlefield rhythm returned to normal.
Under the army buffs, mages unleashed their area attack skills without restraint, causing mass casualties.
But there were too many Hellhounds. It seemed they couldn’t be killed off.
Some Dog Demons flew towards the fortress but were blocked by the energy barrier outside.
No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t break through the barrier.
So they flew into the battlefield to attack the career holders instead.
The Dog Demons were much stronger than Hellhounds, causing a lot of trouble for the human career holders.
Especially those below level 35 were in great danger.
The support on the city walls constantly cast skills to heal the career holders below.
Screams rang out as someone was badly injured.
A Dog Demon grabbed a career holder and threw him into the distance.
"Not good, he’s too far away! Beyond my healing range."
"What do we do? He’s going to die."
The career holders below were all surrounded, no one able to break free to save him.
That person was thrown into a pack of Hellhounds, about to be bitten to death.
At this moment, a beam of light fell on him. He instantly disappeared, reappearing on the city wall the next second.
The Demon-watching Eye oversaw the entire battle. As soon as it saw danger, it teleported people back.
Though it couldn’t prevent 100% of casualties, it minimized them as much as possible.
A healer immediately began treating him.
Just a few seconds later, his injuries were mostly healed. He jumped down from the wall again, continuing to fight.
Fighting, killing demons.
At this moment, the Divine Summer people were united in purpose.
Lin Moyu watched the battlefield, knowing that continuing like this, they might have to fight much longer.
There might be casualties.
He suddenly raised his head and said to Ni Xiong, "I request to go out and join the battle."
Ni Xiong’s gaze fell on Lin Moyu.
Many career holders also looked at Lin Moyu.
Ning Yiyi knew what Lin Moyu wanted to do. There was worry in her eyes, but she didn’t stop him.
After a moment, Ni Xiong nodded, "Approved."
"Be careful!" Ning Yiyi said worriedly.
"Don’t worry." Lin Moyu patted Ning Yiyi’s hand, then turned and jumped down from the city wall.
