49: Five seconds of invincibility! The Divine Phoenix Empress's final trump card!
"So strong!"
"This... is this the true power of an SSS-rank talent? The stats of every single soldier are almost on par with my hero!"
"We won! We definitely won! Twenty-five Barbarian Elites, plus this terrifying, perpetual healing aura, what can the Little Devil use to stop them?"
In the Alliance channel, the dead silence of the previous second was instantly replaced by a fervent roar like a mountain tsunami.
Everyone saw the dawn of victory.
To these struggling ants, this immortal army forged from Holy Light and gold was enough to level everything in the world!
The Phoenix Empress obviously thought so too.
She floated proudly above the battlefield, coldly watching her troops, like a golden tide of fury, surging majestically towards the Little Devil's seemingly impregnable fortress.
She had even begun to consider how to distribute the massive spoils of war that were about to fall into her hands.
In her opinion, the outcome of this battle was sealed the moment she descended.
The opponent's two Hell Towers were indeed a huge threat.
But the Hell Tower deals single-target damage, its attack speed has an increasing process, and it can only attack one target at a time.
Even if it could instantly kill a Barbarian, it would take several seconds.
And she had twenty-five of them!
Under the near-BUG continuous recovery of the Holy Aura, the area damage from those eight Mage Towers was nothing more than a scratch.
As long as her Barbarian army could reach the city wall, even if only ten remained, one Berserk Spell thrown down would turn that seemingly sturdy city wall into dust within seconds.
She couldn't think of any reason to lose.
Just then, that playful ID, always seemingly smiling, suddenly lit up in everyone's spectator channel.
Little Devil: "Oh, what a magnificent army."
Little Devil: "So shiny, like a group of walking gold coins, I love them."
Little Devil: "Is that all? If that's all the troops you have, then I'll be very disappointed."
Accompanying his frivolous remarks, those two silent Hell Towers suddenly underwent a terrifying change!
The huge, destructive lava crystal at the top of the tower suddenly split down the middle, dividing into five!
The destructive energy, originally condensed into a thick beam, instantly split into five slightly thinner scorching rays, like the five fingers of death, covering a wider fan-shaped area!
Hell Tower, attack mode switched: Multi-Headed Hell Tower!
Multi-Headed Hell Tower: Can attack 5 targets simultaneously, dealing 200 fixed damage per second to each target.
Trait: Burnout — Targets attacked by the Multi-Headed Hell Tower will fall into the [Healing Prohibited] state!
Buzz —!!!
Five dark red rays, like a spreading net of death, instantly enveloped the five Barbarian Elites charging at the very front.
-200!
-200!
-200!
-200!
-200!
The damage numbers were not fatal.
But immediately after, a crimson, negative icon, as if a heart had been slashed by a blade, appeared simultaneously above the heads of those five Barbarian Elites!
Healing Prohibited!
The golden rain of light scattered by the Holy Phoenix fell on them, but could no longer stimulate even a trace of life recovery.
That warm Holy Light seemed to have become a harmless illusion.
The next second, the other Hell Tower also switched to multi-headed mode!
Another five rays covered another five Barbarian Elites!
In an instant, the ten Barbarians charging at the forefront were all marked with the death sentence of [Healing Prohibited]!
The Phoenix Empress's pupils suddenly contracted!
For the first time, a clear crack appeared on her face, which always maintained arrogance and confidence.
"How can this be... there's still this mode?"
Her healing was nullified!
The most core part of her entire tactical system was forcibly cut off by the opponent in a way she couldn't understand, less than three seconds into the battle!
Without healing, her Barbarian Elites, under the focused fire of the two Multi-Headed Hell Towers and eight Mage Towers, became consumables that could no longer be replenished!
Their health bars began to steadily drop at a visible rate!
Little Devil: "Hehe, the game has just begun."
The Phoenix Empress gritted her silver teeth, knowing that she had no retreat.
This highly anticipated battle, she could only win, not lose!
"Since the conventional approach won't work..."
A hint of desperate resolve flashed in her eyes.
"Then I'll use the most barbaric method to trade with you!"
Holy Sanctuary!
She unhesitatingly activated her hero's active skill!
A giant golden shield descended from the sky, precisely covering all the Barbarian Elites!
Invincible, lasting five seconds!
Immediately after, a potion shimmering with purple light was fiercely thrown into the crowd by her!
Berserk Spell!
All Barbarian Elites swelled in size, their eyes bloodshot, and their attack speed and movement speed instantly reached an incredible peak!
They endured the rays of the Hell Tower, ignored the bombardment of the Mage Towers, and transformed into twenty-five golden lightning bolts, launching a desperate charge towards the imminent city wall!
"Break it for me!!!"
The Phoenix Empress's roar echoed in the hearts of all spectators.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
Five seconds of invincibility, plus Berserk, was enough to create a miracle!
The invincible golden shield, like a deity's sigh, protected this army in despair.
The berserk purple aura, like a demon's sneer, ignited the most primitive desire for destruction in their bloodlines.
Twenty-five golden lightning bolts tore through the bloody battlefield, and under the gaze of all the spectators, who were so tense they almost stopped breathing, they fiercely charged towards the city wall, which symbolized victory.
The scales of victory seemed to tip once again.
As long as they broke through, as long as they could cleave their berserk battle axes onto the city wall within those five seconds of invincibility, there would still be room for redemption!
In the Alliance channel, the crowd, who had just fallen into dead silence, once again ignited a spark of hope.
"Charge! That's it!"
"Destroy his city wall! As long as we break a hole, there's a chance!"
However, the Little Devil's laughter, like a cold wind from the netherworld, once again extinguished all their illusions.
Little Devil: "Using invincibility to charge? What a classic tactic. Too bad, it's useless against me."
Just as those twenty-five berserk Barbarian Elites were less than ten meters away from the city wall!
A potion, emanating an extreme deep blue, as if sealing the Arctic Ocean, descended from the sky.
Extreme Frost Spell!
Buzz —!
The potion exploded in mid-air, without a loud bang, only absolute silence.
A visible deep blue frost, like a living tide, swept across the entire Barbarian army in an unstoppable manner!
Crack... crackle...
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The golden invincible shield protecting them, along with the berserk purple aura within the shield, was instantly sealed by a thick, crystal-clear layer of ice.
Twenty-five Barbarian Elites, maintaining their forward-charging posture, were permanently frozen in place.
Their berserk, bloodthirsty expressions were solidified into eternal sculptures.
Their raised battle axes were just one step away from the city wall.
One step, yet a world apart.
