Chapter 206 The Relentless War

It was as though the City of Dawn had fallen into an abyss as it countered waves after waves of dark creatures. They could not be completely exterminated.

William relentlessly charged forward.

Burned Cinder, Albert, Legolas, and Lautner created a formation that was the first line of defense for the City of Dawn.

They were Advanced, Epic, and Legendary BOSSES. In any area of the southeastern region, they could be considered the most powerful warriors.

The four of them held off the dark creatures that swarmed from all directions. They tried to reduce the pressure of the invasion that was directed at the city.

Battle energy emanated out in the darkness.

It shined brilliantly like fireworks.

The four of them had not been wounded, so they could last for a long time in battle. But once their battle energy would be used up, even though they were powerful, they would be swamped by the dark creatures.

It was only the beginning of the invasion.

William grasped his Legendary Thunder Blades and slashed as he charged forward.

Each time he slashed, he would emit powerful sword energy.

While lightning bolts formed a protective ring around him.

Lightning was his comrade.

An Advanced Grandmaster devil flew up and hacked at William using his huge sword!

William dodged the dark sword energy. His left hand grasped at the huge sword of the devil and formed a deep palm impression.

The devil felt a powerful force flowing from his heavy sword.

He lifted his large fist and let out a dark light to shatter William’s skull.

But William used his head to nonchalantly butt against the dark light.

Bang!

The dark light dissipated.

The devil felt his hand bones disintegrating.

William, who was wearing the Legendary helmet, slightly leaned back his head. Then he made a piercing attack with his Thunder Blade that radiated with lightning bolts.

The devil released his grip on his sword and backed up. His chest was filled with deep green fresh blood.

But before the devil could retaliate, a hand penetrated his chest and grasped his spine.

Crack!

The bloody spine was ripped from the devil’s body.

The devil’s head almost fell into the hollow made in the chest.

In the next second, William did not stop his pace. He continued to dash forward. He wanted to find out how many creatures were in the dark army.

But he was still surrounded by countless dark creatures even when he traveled tens of thousands of meters inside the dark army. There were waves and waves of powerful dark creatures. They were no longer at the Beginner-level. There were tens of thousands of Intermediate dark creatures.

At this moment, he was enlightened.

The situation had changed completely.

The invasion that the Human nations faced would not be as intense as before.

The City of Dawn was the main target of the dark creatures.

William remained stationary amidst the streams of dark creatures. He was like a steadfast rock that faced the relentless currents of a river.

He gazed at the Devil’s Den in the north.

He abruptly realized.

Someone was also looking at him.

“Forget it.” William shook his head. He thought it was not necessary to attack the Devil’s Den. In his previous life, the most powerful warrior in the Devil’s Den was only Advanced.

But it did not mean that William knew everything

As he was about to fly to the sky to retreat.

Numerous 3-meter tall devils appeared in the sky and surrounded him.

“Elf, if you yield to the dark army and offer half of the population as sacrifices, you’ll attain eternal life,” an Advanced Epic devil said in a deep voice.

“Oh, you’re so confident of defeating me?” William brandished his Thunder Blades and let out a cordial smile.

“How do you know if you don’t try?” The Epic devil waved, and the other four Advanced devils unsheathed their swords.

Not even half an hour had passed since version 2.0 commenced, but it felt like the bloody war had lasted a lifetime.

The tens of thousands of players in the City of Dawn managed to calm down their nerves.

In this dire situation, Chu Liuqiu used his magic scrolls and shouted, “Level 39 professionals are to change their occupations and use Intermediate equipment.’

“There is an occupation changing mission, TMD. My mission is to kill an Intermediate professional.”

“What’s there to fret? The dark creatures are currently Beginner-level. But the Intermediate creatures are coming to kill you very soon.”

“Yes, yes, yes. My mission is to kill five Beginner-level professionals. I had just completed it.”

“Tsk, tsk, I leveled up without any mission,” a player nonchalantly said as he wore his Intermediate Silver-quality equipment.

“Good for you, lucky dude.”

“Good for you, lucky dude.”

Forever Alone felt indignant and scolded, “D*mn his lucky stars.”

Many team members heard Forever Alone grumbling and asked, “Team leader, is your mission very difficult?”

“Get lost and change your occupation. Didn’t you hear the deputy lord’s order? The more dark creatures you kill, the more points you’ll gain. Though I don’t know what precious treasure we can exchange with the points, it will definitely be good.” Forever Alone chased everyone away. He was indignant that he had to kill five Intermediate professionals for his mission.

Why was he so unlucky?

He was the team leader of the club that was placed in the fourth position in the world!

The defensive line of the City of Dawn was very long because they faced too many dark creatures. The dark creatures were attracted to the scent of life.

Many dark creatures were not able to get good attacking spots, so they climbed up from the sides of the cliff.

The fruits of the City of Dawn’s labor, the fortifications they had built, now came into critical effect.

Most of the 60-meter wide cliff was enchanted, except for a small 5-meter width. Hence, even if the dark creatures tried their best to grip with their claws, they could not scale up. Hence, they could only climb laterally…

The dark creatures were dumbfounded. If they did not climb to the sides, should they climb down instead?

But it was not possible.

As below them, there were many dark creatures. It was already an achievement for the dark creatures to climb laterally.

However, the dark creatures could try leaps of faith.

Some impatient dark creatures jumped off the cliff, but they fell and became a pile of mud…

The eyes of the skeleton soldiers were lit with hellfire. They chose to slowly climb to the center…

Many low-level dark creatures were stuck at the cliff. They could neither climb up nor climb down, and it required a lot of effort to move sideways. Only those dark creatures who were heading towards the City of Dawn up the mountain paths could continue their advance.

However, at the height of about 40 meters on the cliff, many dark creatures were attacked by the Devil’s Vines.

Some of the dark creatures were not fully composed of bones. For example, the devil hounds, and the carrion monsters had disgusting flesh and blood.

But, the Devil’s Vines did not show any discrimination. They devoured anything that had energy!

DU

After the dark creatures survived the Devil’s Vines, more surprises awaited them.

At the 50-meter to 60-meter height, the dark creatures encountered numerous holes.

Pikes came out of the holes and repeatedly penetrated them. The dark creatures were filled with countless bleeding wounds.

It lasted almost half an hour.

The dark creatures that continued to climb up were full of wounds. Most of them just fell off the cliff.

Only a small number of fortunate creatures managed to reach the top of the cliff.

But what awaited the wounded dark creatures were two rows of deadly shield-bearers wielding swords!

Whenever a dark creature appeared from the edge of the cliff, a shield-bearer would knock it off the cliff.

Bang!

Ahhhhh!

The Beginner-level vanguards of the dark army would crash to the base of the cliff. Even if they didn’t die, they would be severely crippled.

When the players saw the scene, they were overjoyed. They felt that the battle would be easy.

But someone figured out that…

The defenders would get tired.

Even if the defenders were professionals with battle energy.

However, the countless dark creatures never seemed to be tired. They were like wild beasts in a frenzy.

The war, it would never stop even if the dark creatures suffered massive casualties!
