Chapter 410: Indeed a Coincidence

"Terrifying..."

"Could turning the spirit against its master also have been part of this non-specialist's plan?"

"No wonder he remained calm even after the Forbidden Field expanded; he had already devised a countermeasure."

"Strategizing from a distance, winning from afar, combining intelligence and strength—how terrifying would it be if this monster truly steps into the ranks of the hundred levels!?"

The scales of victory suddenly tipped towards the Dragon Nation team.

The Holy Light Empire team, which should have secured victory, nearly faced complete annihilation just because they let the Inquisitor use an S-tier spirit skill.

This made all the spectators outside unable to help but marvel at the cunning and scheming of this non-specialist.

But what they didn't know was...

Ling Zhan really didn't plan any of this.

When the Forbidden Field was created, even he was slightly surprised at first.

He just wasn't used to showing his emotions outwardly.

And the Inquisitor's sudden use of the Words of Fire was indeed a coincidence.

It just so happened that they used the Words of Fire.

It just so happened that Ling Zhan possessed the 'Flame God' title.

If they had used something like the Words of Frost or Words of Darkness...

Ling Zhan wouldn't have been able to make them submit.

Of course...

This doesn't mean Ling Zhan had no countermeasures.

His teammates couldn't be protected.

But he could still break through alone, even if it meant facing fifty opponents again.

As for what methods to use...

The performance is about to begin!!

At the moment.

Only five people remained on the Holy Light Empire team.

Three Holy Spirit Barriers, heavily injured but now gradually recovering, having reequipped themselves.

And the two princesses.

The Holy Spirit Barriers have a B-tier passive skill called 'Slow Regeneration,' which allows them to continuously heal their injuries.

During the pause in Ling Zhan's attacks, they activated this skill, and now their injuries had recovered by about 60%.

Not much.

But in their eyes, it was enough!

After all, one of the Holy Spirit Barriers had repelled Ling Zhan head-on while at full strength earlier!

Although they weren't at full strength now, it was enough to withstand these opponents who couldn't use any active skills or talents!

What's more, they still had the two princesses, who had largely preserved their combat power!

They still couldn't lose!!

Boom!!

The ten Words of Fire spirits began to collapse at this moment.

Without the Inquisitor's curse reinforcement, the ten Words of Fire spirits couldn't continue to exist.

"All team members, fall back."

At this moment.

Ling Zhan's cold voice resounded.

It wasn't because he was driven by personal heroism.

But because his teammates really couldn't help him in any way right now.

If they joined in, they would only disrupt his attack rhythm.

The main reason being...

Even with their armor's protection, they were still just one sword strike away from death in front of Princess Saint Luni.

Even Meng Shuang's little Azure Dragon body might not withstand a single strike from Princess Saint Luni.

At this level, who doesn't have a special skill that deals true damage?

Without the ability to counter or neutralize active skills and talents, relying solely on one's attributes and armor wouldn't be enough to withstand the true damage from the opponent's skills.

So all the team members obediently retreated a hundred meters away, becoming true bystanders for the first time.

It's kind of funny...

In this quarterfinal match, which had the nature of a final, all the members of the Dragon Nation team and their contracted beasts had to sit back and watch—truly a unique match in history.

"Can the non-specialist win?"

"You're asking me? How would I know?"

At this moment.

The spectators outside, watching the non-specialist planning to take on five opponents alone, were full of speculation and doubt.

Under normal circumstances, the audience would believe that this non-specialist could win even if he faced fifty opponents!

Even though the situation had reversed midway.

The audience was still on edge!

Even the strong individuals in the top-tier VIP box couldn't predict the final outcome!

It seemed like the situation had changed.

But in reality, the non-specialist's predicament remained unchanged!

The opponent's main combat power, Princess Saint Luni, was still intact!

Even the black-and-white Holy Spirit Armor, exclusive to her, had been perfectly preserved after she forcibly severed the 'Shared Damage' link with her teammates at the critical moment.

Tap!!

At this moment.

Under everyone's tense gaze, Ling Zhan, holding the 'Mad Kill' longsword, stepped across the scorched earth burned by the Words of Fire and slowly walked towards Princess Saint Luni.

Looking at the cold figure gradually approaching, the three Holy Spirit Barriers inexplicably felt a tremendous pressure!

Damn it!!

Don't be afraid!

The Forbidden Field is still active!

No matter how strong this non-specialist is, he's just a useless person who can't use any skills or talents!

"Charge!!"

The three Holy Spirit Barriers shouted angrily at this moment, raising their Holy Shields and heavy swords without needing Princess Saint Luni's command, charging at the non-specialist's figure!!

Soon, the three tall, heavy figures, exuding a thick aura, formed a triangular formation, surrounding the non-specialist.

'Holy Spirit War Cry'!

'Holy Shield Fortification'!

'Stalwart Holy Will'!

Three skills were simultaneously activated, and the majestic Holy Spirit aura descended upon them, making them appear like three insurmountable mountains, intimidating all who saw them.

The 'Holy Spirit War Cry' not only boosted their courage but also reduced Ling Zhan's physical defense by a full 70%!

But even so, Ling Zhan only raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Kill!!"

With an angry roar.

The Barrier directly in front of Ling Zhan raised his Holy Shield and charged at the non-specialist, who remained expressionless!

'Holy Shield Assault'!

It was that familiar B-tier skill again!

He was like an unstoppable high-speed train, rushing towards Ling Zhan with unstoppable momentum!

Meanwhile, his two companions weren't idling!

Princess Saint Luni had long since given them a secret order.

"Even if you die, you must probe this non-specialist's trump card!"

In response.

The three Barriers were ready to die!

Can you believe it...

They were clearly the ones with the advantage of being able to use skills and talents!

But now, they were only prepared to test the opponent's hidden trump card, ready to die in the process!

At this moment.

The front was 'Holy Shield Assault.'

On both sides were 'Valiant Charge.'

The three of them were like dumplings, trying to crush this non-specialist to death!!

Fifty meters away, Princess Saint Luni and Princess Saint Lucy both held their weapons, entering a combat stance.

As soon as the opportunity arose, these sister princesses would deliver the most lethal strike to that non-specialist in an instant!!
