Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 178 Final Opponent
After summoning the Seraphim and the Lightback Dragon, Holy Heaven immediately activated the defensive function of the "Angel Robe", and at the beginning he showed the highest form of "Seraphim Guardian" that he could display at this stage, with the "Holy Light of Protection" attached to the ninth-level Seraphim as protection, and then quickly rushed directly to the six-armed giant magician standing in the center of the arena, showing a posture of actively attacking.
Although it is unclear what specific tactics Holy Heaven wants to adopt, it is a very dangerous thing to let him get close to the giant magician anyway, which may bring unpredictable consequences. The priests of light have the most direct and sharpest pseudo-artifact to deal with the necromancers, that is, the "Book of Seals", which seems to be specially used to restrain the "summoning of the dead". Maybe it doesn't seem to be very effective against the level 7 pets of other professional players and the multiple undead minions summoned by the undead wizards of ordinary strength, but facing a single powerful undead minion summoned by a top master like me, it can make them be sealed back to the "dead space" in a short time, losing the opportunity to continue to participate in the battle, making us suddenly lose strong reinforcements and fall into an extremely passive and unfavorable situation. In the previous rounds of competition, although many pseudo-artifacts have been used, the "Book of Seals" was not among them. As the pseudo-artifact that is most easily rewarded to the Priests of Light, Sheng Tiantang should have at least one "Book of Seals". With his strength as a top-level eighth-level silver-robed bishop, he is capable of sealing ninth-level upper-level magical pets or undead creatures.
Fortunately, the "Book of Seals" also has weaknesses. It must be close to the target to a certain distance before it can be activated. Moreover, the closer to the target, the higher the success rate of the seal, and the shorter the time consumed. He hurriedly arranged for Shaman, who had high agility and was a pet, to rush forward to intercept. He must not let the Holy Heaven get close to the giant magician, or at least wait for an opportunity to destroy his action of launching the "Book of Seals" to protect the giant magician. After all, even if the Holy Heaven has the corresponding ability, it is not easy to deal with it in a few tens of seconds to successfully seal the ninth-level upper-level undead. With the strength of the six-armed giant magician, although he is not as strong as the sky-defying Destruction Knight, he can forcibly get rid of the seal, but he will not easily succumb. He is fully capable of resisting for one or two minutes. During this time, Shaman's surprise attack may make his sealing action fail and be forced to stop, and he can only wait for the next opportunity. The battle has just begun. I can't give him the chance to easily destroy my strongest force and let him take the initiative to chase me without restraint.
Holy Heaven noticed Shaman's actions, and the Seraphim, who had passed the adaptation period, immediately rushed forward and tried to intercept him. In a one-on-one battle, Shaman was definitely no match. Not daring to be rushed by the Seraphim, Shaman circled around it, looking for a gap to approach and threaten Holy Heaven. When the giant magician recovered his ability to move, he immediately waved his six sturdy arms and launched the "Torch Stone Bomb" attack, throwing it at the rapidly approaching Holy Heaven. The six-armed giant magician not only had two more arms than the four-armed giant magician, but the power of the "Torch Stone Bomb" he used was also much stronger. Even if Holy Heaven launched the "Seraphim Guardian", it would not have the same good defense effect as the wolf in sheep's clothing of the same earth system. If he was directly bombed a few times, I'm afraid the injury would definitely not be too light.
Just like the last match where Holy Heaven bullied Afeng for his lack of long-range attack ability, this time he faced the giant mage who could perform ultra-long-range attacks, but he suffered a little disadvantage in this aspect. Before he could threaten the giant mage, he was already thrown into disarray by several consecutive "Torch Stone Bombs" and could no longer approach the giant mage calmly. Taotao on the other side also approached him. The Light Spine Dragon next to him was only level 7 and had the lowest strength, so he couldn't help him much. I relied on the advantage of the number and strength of my subordinates to attack instead of defend, pressing step by step to see how he would deal with it.
The threat of "Torch Stone Bomb" was too great. Although the consecutive attacks did not hit directly, they were only affected, which had dimmed the "holy light of protection" on the body of Saint Heaven. He did not dare to let the giant mage attack him anymore. He immediately made adjustments. The Seraph gave up chasing Shaman and rushed straight to the giant mage. Facing a strong man of the same level, I naturally did not dare to let the Seraph easily get close to the giant mage. I immediately turned from offense to defense and tried my best to guard against the approaching Seraph. With six arms, I could release "Torch Stone Bomb" from multiple directions, so the Seraph had to be careful and circled around the giant mage to find a better attack opportunity. He did not dare to approach too easily. Occasionally, relying on his much higher agility, he seized the flaws and launched several assaults, hitting two punches and kicking a leg, and then he would be forced back by the flying "Torch Stone Bomb" and could not continue to expand the results. However, the giant magician is very strong, and these few minor injuries cannot affect his condition for the time being. Once he finds an opportunity, he will throw the "Torch Stone Bomb" to attack Holy Heaven at the risk of being attacked by the Seraph, maintaining a deterrent effect on him and preventing him from approaching easily.
While the Seraphim was being restrained by the Troll Mage, Shaman and Taotao rushed towards the Holy Heaven from the left and right. Although with the protection of the "Angel Robe" and his strength as a top master, plus the slight effect of the Lightback Dragon which also had enhanced protection capabilities, the two of them alone might not be able to defeat him. At least they would force him to defend and counterattack with all his might. Under the increased pressure, he had no time to threaten the Troll Mage anymore.
I am the most relaxed person in the arena now, but I am not in a hurry to activate "Touch of Death" to replenish my mental power. Now is not the right time, and my situation is not safe - the upper-level ninth-level Seraph is the fastest, and is unwilling to fight to the death with the giant magician. I can't effectively restrain its actions. It can withdraw at any time and launch a running attack on me, forcibly interrupting the operation of "Touch of Death". Perhaps this is exactly the scene that Holy Heaven wants to see. I don't want to easily lose 10% of my health points, but not get much mental power in return.
First, I transformed into a bat, circled to the other side, found a suitable position, transformed back to my original form, sandwiched Holy Heaven in the middle, and then cast the "Sacrifice" magic, allowing Shaman within the effective range of 100 meters to share 80% of the damage I might suffer, followed by "Unparalleled Guardian" and even "Three Shields" to protect myself. Holy Heaven was trying its best to suppress Shaman and Taotao's attacks, and couldn't spare anyone to intercept me. I didn't take any direct attack action, but just strengthened my vigilance, tried to face me, and paid attention to my every move.
I told the Giant Mage, Shaman and Taotao again to cooperate with my actions and seize any opportunity to attack Holy Heaven. Then I launched the "Death Field" to cover Holy Heaven within the attack range, and used the "Death Ripple" and shock effects to assist Shaman and Taotao to strengthen the attack on Holy Heaven. He and the Light Spine Dragon beside him would definitely not be able to get rid of Shaman and Taotao's entanglement to attack me. The Seraph who was fighting the Giant Mage needed to fly a distance before he could rush over to attack me. I had enough time to react and dodge, and as long as it dared to give up the Giant Mage's containment, the "Torch Stone Bomb" would fall on the head of Holy Heaven, making him lose sight of one thing and lose another, and he would inevitably suffer a loss .
As soon as they fell into the range of the "Death Field", Sheng Tiantang and Guangspine Dragon immediately lost their balance, and both their attacks and evasions were greatly affected. However, as my subordinates, Shaman and Taotao did not feel any discomfort at all, and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, succeeding repeatedly, causing Sheng Tiantang's "body protection holy light" to fail to keep up with the speed of consumption, and it became increasingly dim. If it continued , it would be unable to change the passive situation, and I believe it would soon be broken, directly hurting itself.
He did not use the usual method of activating the "Touch of Death" to absorb the spiritual power of his subordinates, but instead used the "Death Field" that was used for the first time in the competition. This should be beyond the expectations of Saint Heaven. He was still far away from the giant magician at this time. Even if there were pseudo-artifacts such as the "Book of Seals", it would not threaten it. It could only act on Shaman and Taotao who were fighting around it. If Saint Heaven was willing to do this, it would be a good deal for me to sacrifice them to gain the initiative. Anyway, as long as there was a giant magician there to support him, he would not be afraid of being judged as passive. At worst, he could use the "Ghost Mirror" and transform into a six-armed giant magician. What's the fear that he couldn't kill Saint Heaven?
After being attacked repeatedly, Holy Heaven did not immediately use the pseudo-artifact to get out of the predicament. First, it planned to urgently call back the Seraphim, but was hit by two "Torch Stone Bombs" by the Giant Mage. The situation became more dangerous, and the Seraphim had to turn back halfway and continue to pester the Giant Mage. Without the support of the Seraphim, Holy Heaven used "Holy Light Body Protection" as a protection and personally used "Great Saint Spear" to attack me, trying to disrupt my action of launching the "Death Field", but was disturbed by the shock effect, as well as the influence of Shaman and Taotao's attacks, and could not launch continuous attacks at the right time, and the hit rate was not high. In addition, my careful dodge did not achieve much effect, and the situation became more and more passive.
Even with the Light Spine Dragon as a cover, Holy Heaven tried his best to get closer to Seraphim, but the Giant Mage took several punches from Seraphim and used several "Torch Stone Bombs" in succession, and was forced back again, making it difficult to make any progress. Seeing that the "holy light of protection" was getting dimmer and dimmer and was about to be shattered, Holy Heaven suddenly raised his left hand, and a ring emitted a strong light. An eight-winged holy angel suddenly appeared in the sky above his head. He waved his hands and released a white beam of light, covering Holy Heaven.
This scene was quite familiar to me. It was not a fake artifact. The Holy Heaven should have used a "Light Ring". Although the image of the eight-winged holy angel was somewhat scary, it seemed to be a common mode for all "Light Rings". It did not mean that it would be so powerful. The magic he cast was just the "Holy Light Barrier". In addition to the "body protection holy light" attached to the "Angel Robe" and the "Holy Light Barrier" he cast, he also added an extra layer of "Holy Light Barrier" to protect the outermost part of his body. This simple defensive means did not pose a direct threat to me. Perhaps he inferred that I would consume a lot of mental energy to continuously launch the "Death Field", and wanted to delay the time of defeat and continue to look for opportunities to attack.
With an additional layer of self-activated "Holy Light Barrier" as a buffer, Holy Heaven was able to re-activate the "Protective Holy Light" after it was shattered, reducing the chance of being directly hurt, and was able to barely hold on under the joint attack of Shaman, Taotao and me, and was not in danger of defeat for a while. Although it was inconvenient to activate the "Touch of Death", I still had a "Magic Storage Ring" that could replenish 20% of my mental power, so I was not afraid of competing with him in consumption, but there was still a final to play, and I didn't want to use it unless it was absolutely necessary. The only solution now was to strengthen the attack, increase his consumption, and try to exhaust the mental power stored in the "Light Law Ring" as soon as possible.
No longer caring about themselves, Shaman and Taotao stepped up their offensive. Even the giant magician was looking for opportunities. He would rather suffer a few more attacks and continuously cast "Torch Stone Bomb" at Holy Heaven to increase the damage to him. Anyway, angels emphasize the balance of attack and defense. They are not easy to be killed, and it is difficult to kill the opponent with just a few moves. Under the influence of the "Death Domain", Holy Heaven could not dodge effectively at all, and could only passively endure it. Every "Torch Stone Bomb" almost caused him damage. The "Holy Light Barrier" formed by the "Light Law Ring" was constantly shattered and re-cast, which rapidly consumed the mental power stored in it, and made him more and more flustered. Most of his energy was used to strengthen his own defense, and he did not have much spare time to fight back. Although the Seraph also strengthened his offensive, he tried his best to entangle the giant magician to death and prevent it from casting "Torch Stone Bomb" attack on Holy Heaven. However, the giant magician had six arms with multiple attack points, so he put up a full defensive posture against the Seraph's attack, and only fought back when it rushed forward. He risked exchanging injuries for injuries, and was still able to spare one or two arms to attack Holy Heaven, making it impossible for him to escape his current predicament.
Perhaps because he had used up several pseudo-artifacts in the previous rounds of competition and didn't have any suitable ones to deal with this situation, after several attempts to rush close to the giant magician failed, Holy Heaven only relied on the "Ring of Light" to strengthen its own defense and never used pseudo-artifacts. Passive resistance alone could not achieve good results. In the end, before my mental power was exhausted, he couldn't hold on any longer and was unable to defend effectively. He was hit hard by the joint attack of me, Shaman, Taotao and the six-armed giant magician, and finally lost and died under Shaman's claws.
In a limited space like the arena, the giant magician who is not easy to move and is good at attacking and defending on the spot is suitable for the performance. He effectively suppressed Saint Heaven. Perhaps it was because of the lack of relevant combat experience that Saint Heaven could not find a way to deal with it for a while, and was unwilling to use the pseudo-artifact, which led to its defeat so quickly. I won so easily, and I didn't even encounter any danger. It was beyond the expectations of me and the audience. Looking at the frustration and humiliation on Saint Heaven's face after the defeat, mixed with a bit of unwillingness, I am afraid that even he himself was very surprised.
Regardless of the process, I was able to successfully advance to the finals, which was what everyone expected. It was due to my strength and I lived up to the praise of being one of the three super powers in the world. No matter who wins the following semi-final between Supreme Honor and Fearless Warrior, the final will definitely be as intense and exciting.
Compared to the battle between me and Holy Heaven's summoner, the semi-final between Supreme Honor and Fearless Warrior was much more intense. Both of them were super strong, a Knight of Light and a Dwarf Berserker, both were melee professions, one held the "Holy Cross" and the other held the "Thor's Hammer", and both had long-range attack capabilities. Supreme Honor had an extra "Speed Wing Light Armor" to make up for the lack of attack power with a higher speed, so it can be said that each had its own advantages. However, overall, Supreme Honor should have a greater chance of winning, mainly because he had encountered fewer strong opponents in the previous rounds of the game than Fearless Warrior, and did not consume any pseudo-artifacts. In addition, his absolute advantage in speed also made it easier for him to take the initiative and gain some advantages in mobile warfare.
During the game, both of them were very cautious, unwilling to take risks and attack, trying to avoid unnecessary damage. After a little probing, they were evenly matched and neither of them could gain an advantage. Then the Supreme Honor activated the "Speed Wing Light Armor", which transformed into a pair of huge light wings, doubling its speed, and immediately took the initiative. The Fearless Warrior could not lock the exact position of the Supreme Honor in time, and the "Crazy Thunder Prison" could not be used, so he could only passively resist the long-range attack of the "Holy Cross". When engaging in close combat, although the "Thor's Hammer" was powerful and a hammer hit was equivalent to several shots from the high-level holy weapon in the hands of the Supreme Honor, it was not easy to hurt the Supreme Honor in the face of the absolute speed advantage, nor could it gain any advantage.
The Supreme Honor seemed quite patient and was not in a hurry to start a decisive battle with the Fearless Warrior. He first used harassment and containment as the main method, making full use of his speed advantage and focusing on attacking his level 8 magic pet Death Stone Barbarian. Once the Fearless Warrior was distracted and on guard, he might be hurt. After a lingering battle, the Fearless Warrior's reaction was still half a beat slower, and he failed to protect his pet and was killed by the Supreme Honor. After trying to take such an advantage, the Supreme Honor no longer tried to win. He used his rich experience and did not take the penalty of passive competition as the bottom line. He deliberately delayed the Fearless Warrior and avoided a fight that would hurt both sides. Perhaps he was concerned about the abnormal skill "Thor's Wrath" and did not have items such as the neutral profession's "Turning Necklace" to replenish his health, so he was unwilling to take the risk of giving the Fearless Warrior a chance to attack. The Fearless Warriors' repeated attacks were fruitless, and they were unable to gain any advantage to equalize the situation. Facing the cunning tactics of Supreme Honor, they seemed helpless, and they did not use any pseudo-artifacts to try to defeat Supreme Honor in one fell swoop. After an hour's stalemate, Supreme Honor won the semi-final with a slight advantage and became my opponent in the final.
