Chapter 678: Starry Sky Squad, Iron Armor Still Stands
"Damn it, we have so many people, yet we can't handle this Green Flame Corpse Beast. The top players from the first and second tests are powerful, but their numbers are too few!"
"Yeah, wait a minute, why didn't all the top players join? Originally, they were less than one-fifth of our numbers, and yet... they're split into three waves? Starlight Brother only brought forty people and went up?"
"With over five hundred demon players attacking from our position, even the top players from the first and second tests only brought forty people? What can a single squad accomplish?"
...
The demon players were astonished, watching as Starlight took the lead and stepped forward.
The aura emitted by the Green Flame Corpse Beast was almost reaching the level of the Nascent Soul stage! That green-flamed armor was even effective against demon players!
Such a heaven-defying and terrifying existence!
How are the top players from the first and second tests going to confront this?
...
"I haven't seen you guys show your strength!" He Yiming's spiritual awareness stirred, filled with nostalgia.
Once, he encountered the most powerful Foundation Establishment stage demon beast after arriving in the Extreme Wasteland—a formidable opponent in the peripheral area of the hundred-thousand-mountain range in the north.
"This Green Flame Corpse Beast is quite formidable, almost invincible below the Nascent Soul stage! Starlight Brother, don't be careless. A single squad might not be enough. It's best to have three squads attacking together and let the demon players provide cover..." Pig Brother Wolong analyzed and hurriedly suggested.
"No need!" Starlight spoke calmly and confidently.
"Huh?" Pig Brother Wolong was puzzled.
In Pig Brother Wolong's plan, in such a situation, the top players from the first and second tests should be the main force, and the other demon players would provide cover!
However, now Starlight had brought only forty people. How were they going to manage this?
"Starlight Brother, the Five Calamities of Heaven are not simple. You don't fully understand their terrifying nature!" Pig Brother Wolong still wanted to advise him.
"Smack!" However, a hand landed on Pig Brother Wolong's shoulder.
When Pig Brother Wolong turned around, he was stunned.
Unexpectedly, it was Wang Lufei.
"You're wrong. It's not Starlight Brother who doesn't understand..." Wang Lufei grinned, oozing confidence.
"Aaahhh!!!" The Green Flame Corpse Beast seemed to disdainfully roar, emitting a dreadful sonic attack!
The previous demon players had been continuously injured by this sound-based attack, left helpless and unable to fight back!
However...
"Sonic attack, Harmonic Resonance!" Starlight casually remarked.
"Understood!"
...
Nods came from all around as everyone skillfully and naturally drew an Illusion Card.
"Draw a card! Resonance of Sound, Vast Sky!!!"
As forty Sound Resonance cards were activated, a powerful resonance of sound formed a shield, protecting the forty players!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The massive sonic attack swept over, shattering the sound-based shield that had been formed, yet causing no harm.
"Four tank players, activate the defensive resonance to absorb damage!"
"Support players, prepare to strike. Target its legs first!"
"Wood Release squad, get ready to create wooden floors to isolate the bones and prevent it from regenerating!"
...
Starlight expertly directed the actions, and the forty players immediately sprang into high-speed motion.
"Roar!!!" Seeing that the sonic attack was ineffective, the Green Flame Corpse Beast directly raised its massive bone claw, thousands of meters long, and slammed it down!
"Martial Intent, Shield of Boulder!"
"Martial Intent, Unmovable Object!"
"Martial Intent, Guardian!"
"Martial Intent, Steel Barricade!"
...
The four players clad in heavy armor stepped forward, simultaneously unleashing the profound power of their four major Martial Intents—powerful defensive intent!
Instantly, the immense force behind the thousand-meter-long bone claw was blocked!
"Pfft!" All four players spat blood, visibly injured.
However...
"Wood Release, Light of Healing!"
"Water Release, Water of Life!"
"Light Release, Divine Healing!"
...
Six support players erupted with healing-based Martial Intents, amplifying the pseudo-divine power of Lifeforce Unlimited several times over. As six beams of light flashed, the four injured tank players immediately reverted to their pristine state, fully healed!
"Wood Release, Armor of Earth!" The four Wood Release players acted in unison, causing numerous vines to surge forth and form a massive wooden floor several dozen meters thick, isolating the Green Flame Corpse Beast and countless bones from the ground!
With this separation, the Green Flame Corpse Beast couldn't swiftly regenerate its wounds using the accumulated bones!
"Wood Release, Giant Chains of Earth!"
"Ice Release, Ice Chains!!!"
...
Next, the support players joined forces again to unleash massive chains made of wood and ice, securely binding the Green Flame Corpse Beast!
Although they couldn't maintain the bonds for long, only lasting for a short time, it was...
Enough!
"DPS, attack!" With a loud shout from Starlight!
"Shift to Phase 2, go full speed!!!" Eighteen players soared into the air, each unleashing the power of a Grand Mastery Martial Intent, launching a fierce assault!
"Martial Intent, Data World!!!" Starlight also activated his Martial Intent, closing his eyes and then reopening them.
Before his eyes, the Martial Intent of the Green Flame Corpse Beast manifested as a health bar, along with its level!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" As the eighteen damage-dealing players launched their assault, the Green Flame Corpse Beast's health steadily decreased. Although it tried to command the bones to regenerate its health with multiple roars, all the bones were cut off by the wooden floors, and only a few bones managed to recover a bit of health.
...
The damage-dealing players all possessed the power of Grand Mastery Martial Intents. Now in Phase 2, their refined Armament and Observation Haki, complemented by Susano'o and Martial Intent Color, along with the purified power of Heavenly Fire, their output became ferocious. In just a dozen or so breaths, they had whittled the Green Flame Corpse Beast's health down bit by bit.
...
These veteran players might not radiate the dazzling brilliance of figures like Wang Lufei or the old First Pillar Qianshou, attracting the attention of all.
But in terms of foundational skills, these old players weren't inferior at all, and they had no weak points!
Except for the four tank players who had taken damage, the other players hadn't even suffered a single scratch!
...
"Everyone, let me handle this final blow for the first Boss!" Seeing the Green Flame Corpse Beast being battered, Starlight suddenly stepped forward and calmly spoke.
"Alright, everyone, fall back."
"Huh? Is Starlight Brother going to make a move?"
"I don't know. What kind of attack will Starlight Brother use?"
"Starlight Brother's commanding skills are indeed great, but his attack methods seem to be something we haven't seen before!"
...
Many players were curious.
Then, all of their mouths dropped open in disbelief.
This...
Is this even possible?
"Come forth!"
"My 1,400-meter-long Greatsword!!!"
With Starlight's loud roar, his palm turned upwards, and a gigantic sword of terrifying length suddenly appeared!
It was a full 1,400 meters long, embedded with a total of forty Martial Intent cards!
...
This massive blade, created collaboratively by dozens of forging masters from the Unreal World Guild, took a day and night to create. It was then equipped onto the 1,400-meter-long sword.
"For me, die!!!" Starlight leapt into the air, raising the 1,400-meter-long greatsword and delivering a mighty downward strike. The Green Flame Corpse Beast was cleaved in two by the blow!
"Huff!" With the Green Flame Corpse Beast's earth-shattering collapse and fragmentation, Starlight turned around with a casual twirl and slowly raised the 1,400-meter-long greatsword, giving it a little swing.
"I am the Killer of Streets, the King of Trash, Star the Great!" With Starlight's triumphant proclamation, he then raised the greatsword.
"Who are we?" Starlight roared.
Forty fists shot into the air, their owners shouting in unison!
"A team!"
"Dreams may fade, but iron armor endures!"
With a resounding shout, an immense and boundless aura exploded forth!
Though they were only forty people, their aura was enough to crush the five hundred demon players!
