Chapter 1003 Let It All Burn!
[Absolute Servitude]
By now, Kouske had seen this skill hundreds of times, and yet he couldn't help but be amazed every single time. Moreover, the sight he witnessed at the moment confirmed many things.
The Oracle, Caden, had mastered the skill to such an extent that even a level 150 being was not immune to his command. His mastery in this element had already crossed what normal people could achieve a long time ago.
Even though Kouske worshiped this man, for some reason, this did not sit well with him. His gaze turned from indifference to hatred for a moment which then again quickly switched back to indifference.
He knew that now was not the time to linger on this. As soon as the Oracle arrested the two ison Generals, Kouske immediately leaped into action.
He activated two of his recently acquired skills that allowed him to buff his undead army. Instantly, small sparks of blue fire could be seen in the hollow eyes of the undead as they began charging forward, just in time to clash with the swarm of isons.
"My undead will take care of these insects." Kouske's voice sounded loud. "Don't just stand there and support them. This swarm is nothing. Let's wrap this up quickly before those two become loose."
Ah! Everyone dumbfoundedly nodded. The elite army that had totally lost all of its honor and decorum as soon as they faced the aura of a Level 150 monster, now slowly started recovering. Their fighting spirit once again flared, and the group proved worthy of their elite title.
Equipped with high-quality weapons and weeks of intensive training both inside the game and outside, the game slowly became apparent as the group started putting down the isons skillfully.
As soon as they overcame the fear of death, the tides started changing immediately.
Surprisingly, the other unit that came along with Kouske and the Oracle did not even have this small hick-up. They stood firm and resolute as if they never faltered and never doubted anything, even after seeing the Level 150 isons.
Instead, the entire group started pelting the swarm of isons with fireballs one after the other. They all seemed to be long-range fighters at first glance, to be more specific mages.
Their attacks were also big and chunky, and five of their strategically placed attacks combined together did enough damage to take down a Level 60 ison.
Soon, there was fire everywhere, and the flames roared alive, making the entire battleground seem like hell. The entire wilderness was burning, even the sturdiest trees and plants.
More and more isons died, and experience points rained down on the army.
If anyone saw this, they wouldn't believe that this was the same group who had choked in the beginning. Despite their late start, they now completely owned the fight.
"Good! Good! Let it all burn! This is how it should be! Ha Ha Ha!"
Kouske laughed in satisfaction. His minions were the ones who were doing maximum damage in this fight, and he was also taking in a good chunk of experience points that brightened up his mood a lot.
But there was another reason why his mood was this good. He looked at the Oracle, grinning maliciously. "Soon…"
The Oracle, on the other hand, only simply smiled in response. Just like Kouske, he seemed to be having his own private thoughts occupying his mind, and he was clearly not willing to share these even with Kouske.
The Japanese stared at the man for a few seconds before turning back and focusing on the battleground. However, his jaw ticked, clearly showing that he was not pleased with what had just happened.
But Kouske was determined not to let anything ruin his mood at the moment. This was because… right about now… his prey should have been cornered!
At the exact same time, the fight in the outer perimeter of the unruly jungle was also heating up. The weaker isons were slowly getting slaughtered by the various guilds.
The levels of these isons were slowly starting to increase, but the sheer numbers of the troops were enough to overwhelm these insects.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m
When outnumbered, even the level 50 isons were less terrifying. To add to this, the mob mentality was also infectious as everyone knew that they were already here and they now had nothing to lose.
So they charged forward with guns blazing and mana crackling like there was no tomorrow. Die! Die! Die! Everyone fought with a never before seen craze.
The more the isons died and the more experience points accumulated, this further added fuel to the fire and encouraged the troops to attack even more wildly.
This scene was the same everywhere in every sector.
After the slow start, things were now finally starting to heat up, and for once, it looked like humanity was going to win this war after all.
In the midst of this raging battle… in sector six alone… suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Rey's movements slowed down as he noticed a few strange occurrences. There were now a lot more footsteps echoing around him compared to the way things were when the battle started.
Sometimes he was able to even see a few more people around him than usual, but as soon as his gaze fell on them, they would disperse. He also had a gut feeling that something was afoot.
And Rey did not take his instincts lightly.
Among the various Crimson Abyss members, his instincts were probably one of the best, right after Liam. In fact, this was also because of Liam.
Once upon a time, Liam had sent several guilds after Rey, and he was hunted down by players left and right and killed multiple times.
Those days he was forced to be tangled in PVP day in and day out until he finally lost almost the entirety of his soul.
Rey always had a rueful smile when he thought back to those days, but in reality, he was now somewhat thankful for it.
This was because all of those combat where he was hanging on for his dear life had sharpened all of his senses to a terrifying level.
Now, these same senses were screaming at him that something was wrong.
And it looked like it was not just him.
Alex had suddenly fallen back, and her movements became slower. "Everyone group back up." She shouted in her commanding voice.
All the Crimson Abyss members immediately obeyed her as soon as they heard the order. Though they were all fighting separately, they had always been within earshot of each other, and now they were able to fall back into the formation instantly.
This happened just in time because the next second, several attacks started flying toward the guild members.
