Chapter 408: Defection? A Shocking Development

The current situation was overwhelmingly favorable for the Holy Light Empire.

Her original intention was merely to imprison that non-specialist, but she hadn't expected to take down the entire Dragon Kingdom team as well.

It was truly an unexpected bonus.

"Haha! I never thought the day would come when I could smash the solo champion with a shield!"

The Holy Spirit Barrier wielder who had repelled Ling Zhan laughed heartily.

His laughter was filled with excitement and pride.

"Hmph! Ling Zhan! Surrender and admit defeat quickly!"

"Your Dragon Kingdom team has no hope left!"

At this time, Princess Saint Lusi, who had put on her clothes and gear under her cloak, also approached her elder sister, holding a Level 60 gold-grade longsword, raising her chin arrogantly as she spoke.

Her previous magic sword had shattered, along with her invaluable Demonic Armor.

This made her very angry.

Angry enough... to almost want to be bumped by this man once more.

"Ling Zhan, surrender."

At this moment.

Princess Saint Luni also looked at Ling Zhan indifferently.

This man...

After the solo competition, he made her have nightmares for three consecutive days!

Every night when she fell asleep, that terrifying fist filled with murderous intent would appear before her eyes, and then, with a bang, smash her head like a watermelon.

She would wake up drenched in cold sweat.

Now...

Facing this nightmarish figure, she finally had unprecedented confidence!

She just needed to crush and defeat him thoroughly in this battle, and the nightmare in her heart would be completely shattered!!

But...

Why...

Why does his expression show no fear, but instead remains calm and indifferent!?

Damn it!!

Facing death, is he still pretending!?

This made Princess Saint Luni grip her staff and magic sword tightly, and her expression gradually turned angry.

This attitude of still not taking her seriously was a complete insult to her!!

Whoosh!!

At Princess Saint Luni's gesture.

The ten Inquisitors finally took action.

They opened their rosy little mouths, chanting a short, obscure incantation, and towering ten-meter-tall crimson figures, engulfed in roaring flames, appeared above their heads.

'Spirit of Fire • Amos'!

An S-level skill of the Inquisitors!

As these spirits appeared, the temperature of the entire battlefield instantly rose.

The frontline warriors of the Dragon Kingdom team, whose bodies had been honed to incredible resilience, could easily endure this high temperature.

But the other classes were having a hard time.

The sensation of being in a fiery hell made their skin rapidly scorch, and their sweat drained their bodies' water reserves at an alarming rate.

Pale faces and cracked lips were signs of impending dehydration.

The equipment they wore lacked the 'heat insulation' enchantment.

However, they did have protective shields.

But these couldn't be triggered easily, as they were their last means of survival, so they could only endure the high temperature.

Even Li Chaoge's expression turned grim; her expensive spiritual gear set completely shielded her from the heat, but her teammates' equipment was far inferior.

"Sigh! It seems the outcome is already decided!"

"Yeah... just the presence of the Spirits of Fire is enough to push many Dragon Kingdom members to the brink of dehydration. What would happen if they started attacking?"

"There's nothing they can do; unable to use active skills and talents, who wouldn't feel miserable?"

"Well, we might as well congratulate the Holy Light Empire in advance."

"..."

The spectators outside, seeing this scene, shook their heads repeatedly.

Skills and talents are the lifeblood of class advancers.

Cut off that lifeblood, and what's left to play with?

"Ling Zhan, do you see? Your Dragon Kingdom team was so unbeatable before, but now you can't even withstand the heat emanating from the Spirits of Fire!"

"I'll give you one last chance!"

"I'll count to three!"

"After three seconds, I'll order my team to start the slaughter!"

Princess Saint Luni's cold words echoed across the battlefield, and through high-tech nano-cameras, her voice reached every spectator's ears.

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Kill them!"

Seeing the non-specialist figure still standing coldly in place, not even glancing in her direction, Princess Saint Luni, filled with boundless rage, directly issued the order to slaughter!!

Let the Dragon Kingdom team experience the agony of total annihilation!!

As her words, filled with anger, fell.

Swish!!

All the team members retreated to the Inquisitors' side, to avoid being accidentally hurt by the destructive power of the ten Spirits of Fire, as the battlefield was likely to be engulfed in a sea of fire!

At that moment, the Inquisitors opened their mouths, ready to chant the obscure words of the spirits.

Boom!!

The ten towering Spirits of Fire, each ten meters high, immediately spewed out endless destructive magma from their mouths!!

It was as if fire gods had descended upon the world, unleashing a rain of fire upon humanity!

Wow!!

At this moment.

The spectators outside, witnessing this scene, were stunned and erupted in shock!!

"What the hell!! What's happening!?"

"What the heck! Are the Holy Light Empire people crazy?"

Crazy?

They were indeed crazy!

Because all the spectators, and even all the supreme beings in the top-tier VIP seats, were utterly dumbfounded to see the ten blazing Spirits of Fire suddenly lower their heads and spew their terrifying flames down upon the Holy Light Empire team!!

All the members of the Holy Light Empire team only felt an overwhelming, scorching heat wave that seemed capable of burning everything from above their heads.

So they looked up...

What the hell!!

Every one of them simultaneously displayed identical expressions of horror!!

"Defen—"

The word 'defend' hadn't even fully escaped the mouth of the Holy Spirit Barrier wielder.

Boom!!

The overwhelming magma directly engulfed all the Inquisitors, Barrier wielders, priests, and melee attackers!

Even Princess Saint Luni and Princess Saint Lusi were completely swallowed by the vast sea of magma!

Hiss!!

"This..."

Outside.

All the spectators were utterly dumbfounded by what they were seeing, with gasps of shock echoing all around.

Even the middle-aged man who claimed to be the Guild Master of Eden Guild had a look of utter disbelief under his dirty hood.

He couldn't believe such a development had occurred!

What the hell is going on?

Could it be that the ten Inquisitors of the Holy Light Empire were defected by Ling Zhan?

But that doesn't make sense!

Even if they were defected...

They wouldn't have any reason to have the Spirits of Fire turn against their own summoners!!
