Chapter 194: Astonishing Wealth, I Continue to Challenge
Everyone in the audience stands up in shock.
They stare with wide eyes and open mouths, expressions of disbelief.
Someone says with a trembling voice, "This is... this is... what?!"
"How can there be so many!"
"Isn't this an illusion?"
On the arena, 100 skeleton warriors and 50 skeleton mages stand in neat formation, like an army!
Facing the skeletons, the knight swallows hard.
His palm holding the sword is sweating.
The Battle King support's skills are interrupted.
So many, how to fight...
These skeletons' attributes are not low, each one not much weaker than them.
Even 10 or 20 people could fight.
But there are 100 skeleton warriors, each one fierce.
Wait, there are also 50 skeleton mages behind...
How to fight this?
Before they had numbers advantage, now they're outnumbered.
Clang.
The weapons of the career holders below all fall to the ground.
Su Sheng mutters, "This guy... hid so deep!"
Liu Xianren is also speechless, "This is impossible to fight!"
At Lin Moyu's command, the skeleton warriors charge.
100 skeleton warriors occupy half the arena, leaving nowhere to dodge.
The skeleton mages' skills arrive first, massive elemental attacks like huge waves instantly engulfing them.
Skill: Group Protection!
The knight activates his skill, a huge barrier protecting everyone.
The Battle King support starts applying buffs again.
The archer and mage prepare area attack skills.
The assassin has already disappeared without a trace.
Though shocked, years of facing Abyss demons have given them combat instincts.
They quickly enter battle mode. Even if outmatched, they won't easily give up!
Moreover, who knows without trying!
A pentagram forms under the mage's feet.
The archer's arrows are glowing.
The knight endures the skeleton mages' massive attacks under Group Protection.
The skeleton warriors have also charged up, unleashing skills.
The protective barrier twists and shakes, about to break.
The knight grits his teeth, his mind stretched to the limit.
"Can't hold much longer, hurry!"
He shouts to the mage and archer.
Seconds later, skills explode!
Skill: Meteor Apocalypse!
Huge fireballs rain down, smashing into the skeleton warriors.
At the same time, the archer's skill is ready.
Skill: Arrow Storm!
The same skill as Liu Xianren's, but larger range and more powerful.
Arrow rain covers the entire arena, including the skeleton mages and Lin Moyu.
Arrows explode everywhere, the whole arena engulfed in explosions.
Arrow Storm is very powerful. The skeleton warriors are fine, but the skeleton mages are all injured.
The damage isn't obvious to outsiders, only Lin Moyu as their master can sense it.
It's still bearable!
The explosions kick up dust, completely blocking vision.
Lin Moyu's lips curve slightly.
Arrow Storm has another use.
Bang!
A dagger suddenly appears behind Lin Moyu.
It stabs with powerful force.
The Bone Armor instantly brightens, blocking the attack.
It's the disappeared assassin, launching a sneak attack on Lin Moyu.
But the Bone Armor is unexpectedly strong, completely blocking the attack.
Lin Moyu had been waiting since the assassin disappeared.
Red light falls, instantly cursing the assassin and revealing his form.
Then several skeleton warriors appear beside him.
The skeleton warriors don't attack, but directly grab him.
More skeleton warriors grab his limbs, not letting him escape.
Ten lightning skeleton mages turn and unleash lightning bolts.
The assassin lets out a scream.
His body suddenly becomes ethereal, the skeleton warriors unable to hold him.
Skill: Ethereal Stealth!
A high-level skill after level 40, with similar effect to the Battlefield Ghost King's skill.
But Ethereal Stealth can't remove curses, only help him break free.
Fire flashes in Lin Moyu's palm.
Another scream, even more miserable than before.
The assassin who just turned ethereal becomes visible again, curled up and shaking.
It's too painful. This soul-deep pain is unbearable for normal people.
As skeleton warriors raise their blades to strike, suddenly an energy chain descends from above.
It instantly pulls the assassin away, the skeleton warriors' blades hitting empty air.
The knight activated a skill to bring his teammate back.
The returned assassin is still curled up, shaking non-stop.
The Battle King support heals him. Though injuries can be healed, the pain can't be removed!
"What happened?" the knight asks urgently.
"Pain, his skill... so painful!" the assassin is incoherent.
Soul Flame is indeed too painful. In the arena, it's best not to use if possible.
The protective barrier finally breaks. The mage raises his staff high, a huge fire ring bursting out.
With a boom, skeleton warriors are blasted away.
Skill: Repelling Fire Ring!
Cast by a level 40+ career holder, its power and effect are incomparable.
This blast sends at least 30-40 skeleton warriors flying, clearing the space in front.
An arrow shoots out, exploding in front of the skeletons.
Chains appear on the ground, instantly trapping over a dozen skeletons in front.
Skill: Chain Arrow!
The mage and archer use all their skills to control the skeletons.
It's as if the real battle has just begun.
They know killing all the skeletons is unrealistic. The only way is to take out Lin Moyu.
They exchange glances, having an idea.
Red light falls from above.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Lin Moyu casts the curse again.
The previous time it had no effect due to the knight's skill.
This time without the barrier, red shackles appear above everyone's head, except the assassin.
The moment the curse takes effect, the skeleton mages' attacks crash down like a tsunami.
The knight roars, "Remove the curse quickly!"
"Mage, shield!"
At his roar, the mage steps forward.
A shield lights up around him. The knight raises his shield high, protecting the three behind him.
The knight's shield can only cover three people. The mage endures with his magic shield, becoming a human shield.
The Battle King support's staff lights up.
Light pillars burst from everyone, shattering the curse.
Skill: Group Purify!
"Another platinum weapon skill!"
Lin Moyu frowns slightly.
Battle King supports can buff and heal. The difference from elders is they lack control skills and curse removal.
Unexpectedly his weapon has a built-in Group Purify skill.
Except for no control, the Battle King support is nearly perfect.
But does it matter?
After one round of focused fire from the skeleton mages, the mage's shield is about to collapse.
The knight has also taken huge damage, his hand holding the shield shaking.
After removing the curse, the Battle King support casts group healing to heal the knight.
Now the blasted skeleton warriors are charging back, about to form a siege again.
"Can't wait anymore, clear a path, we'll charge through!"
The mage nods. His staff flashes brightly as massive wind elements gather and burst out.
In an instant, a gale forms a green net, shooting forward.
All skeleton warriors along the way are sent flying.
Skill: Pillar of Gale!
The skill has a knockback effect, clearing a path.
"Charge!"
The knight follows behind the Pillar of Gale, activating Charge!
The archer, recovered assassin, and mage follow behind the knight.
Only the Battle King support stays behind, not moving.
The Pillar of Gale clears the way in front, knocking aside skeletons. They aim to strike Lin Moyu directly.
Defeating the skeletons is impossible, they can only take out Lin Moyu.
"Useless!"
Lin Moyu says calmly.
Fire flashes in his palm. The charging knight instantly lets out a scream.
His Charge skill is interrupted. The knight stumbles and falls.
With the charge broken, the archer reacts fastest, leaping over the fallen knight.
Boom!
Several lightning bolts strike from above, blasting the archer down.
The knight shakes all over, knowing it's over.
They've charged right into the skeleton horde. Skeleton warriors surround them from all sides.
"Ultimate Defense!" the knight roars, trying to struggle one last time.
Cries of pain sound around him, red light fills his vision.
Skeleton warriors unleash their skills.
Skill: Berserk Strike.
The archer, assassin and mage are fragile.
After one round of skills, only the knight remains.
Focused fire from skeleton mages, surrounded by skeleton warriors, the knight completely gives up resistance.
The five receive healing below the arena.
Their eyes show admiration.
Lin Moyu has won, becoming the first career holder in history to complete four rounds of challenges.
His name will be forever enshrined in Career Holder Tournament history.
It may even be written into textbooks.
The fourth round reward: two Shining Intermediate Skill Scrolls.
Adding to what he had before, Lin Moyu now has two Shining Junior Skill Scrolls, four Shining Intermediate Skill Scrolls, and one each of Junior and Intermediate Mysterious Potions.
His wealth now surpasses the vast majority of career holders.
"I continue to challenge."
Lin Moyu's words silence the entire venue, so quiet a pin drop could be heard.
