53: Godkiller! Your queen is mine!
Boom—!
A terrifying sound, ten times more horrifying than the Phoenix Empress's previous attack, seemed to tear apart the entire crimson sky!
The deafening roar made the eardrums of all spectators buzz, and their consciousness went blank for a moment.
The Level 9 city wall, which had a 200% HP bonus and stood firm even against the Rage Barbarian army...
Its frighteningly long health bar was instantly emptied as if by the hand of a god!
Crack!
A crisp, ultimate sound, like the lament of a collapsing world.
The indestructible city wall was forcefully torn open, revealing a huge, grotesque breach!
All spectators stared blankly at this scene, their minds empty, their thoughts completely frozen.
One strike.
Just one strike.
Four Mystic Destroyers, one strike each, instantly annihilated the Level 9 city wall!
What an incredible, unreasonable, pure aesthetic of violence!
Amidst the boundless shock, the four Mystic Destroyers, bathed in a golden rain of divine grace, stepped with heavy yet swift paces, pouring through the massive breach into the Little Devil's labyrinthine, concentric killing field.
Behind them, the War Lord controlled by Lin Feng, holding a longbow, his eyes cold, like a monarch surveying his territory, unhurriedly stepped into this land of death.
The Little Devil's fortress was breached!
"No!!!"
The moment the city wall shattered, a furious, no longer playful shriek finally echoed from deep within the Little Devil's fortress.
His face, which always wore a smile, was now filled with panic and disbelief.
His perfect killing field!
His proud "turtle-style" masterpiece!
It was just like that, smashed open from the front by the opponent in the most barbaric and unreasonable way, creating a breach!
He was completely flustered.
But his long-standing battle instincts still made him react in the fastest, albeit most helpless, way.
"Freeze them!"
He recklessly threw out the trump card he had held for so long, the bottle of [Extreme Frost Freeze Spell] capable of freezing time!
Deep blue frost instantly swept across the battlefield.
However, Lin Feng's Destroyer army was too spread out, so this Freeze Spell only barely managed to freeze two Mystic Destroyers that had already rushed into the inner circle and were about to attack the Mage Towers.
The other two remained free!
They were bathed in the light of the War God's Shield and moved freely!
It was at this moment that the Hell Tower completed its kill of the first batch of targets, and its crimson ray sharply turned, instantly locking onto these two unfrozen Destroyers!
The battle fell into a strange balance.
The Little Devil watched this scene, his heart slightly relieved.
As long as he dragged it out, waiting for the Hell Tower to deal with these two, and then the two frozen ones, he still had a chance to win!
"Damn you! It's all your fault!"
He furiously vented all his resentment onto his hero, frantically controlling the Archer Queen, continuously firing arrows at one of the Mystic Destroyers being focused.
-500!
-500!
-500!
Damage numbers kept floating up.
But this damage, compared to the Mystic Destroyer's high health pool of eight thousand and the significant damage reduction and recovery provided by the War God's Shield, seemed so pale and powerless.
It was practically just scratching!
"Damn it! Damn it all!"
The Little Devil furiously dealt damage while his heart bled.
He regretted it.
He regretted immensely why, for the sake of showing off, for the sake of humiliating the Phoenix Empress, he had so easily used the Archer Queen's most deadly [Royal Cloak]!
If that skill were still available, he could now use an invisible dash, combined with the Hell Tower's damage, to instantly kill one of the Destroyers at the fastest speed, thereby breaking the stalemate!
But now, it was too late.
He could only watch helplessly as his Level 30 Queen, like an incompetent scratch-master, made futile attacks.
In the spectator channel, everyone saw the signs.
"Wait! What's wrong with the Queen's damage? Is she just scratching? She can't deal damage!"
"Nonsense! The core assassination skill has been used; how much damage can a normal attack do? That's a Mythic-quality unit, and it has 25% damage reduction and healing!"
"The Little Devil miscalculated! He was too arrogant! He paid the price for his arrogance!"
"Heaven's Choice... Heaven's Choice... it seems he really has a chance to win!"
The flame of hope rekindled in everyone's hearts!
On the battlefield, the two Mystic Destroyers being focused by the Hell Tower finally unleashed their last fatal blow before falling!
They ignored the Hell Tower's scorching, ignored the Queen's scratching, and fiercely swung their crystal battle blades at the two Arcane Mage Towers next to them that had been continuously spewing fire!
Boom! Boom!
The two purple Epic Mage Towers, without even a mournful cry, were instantly killed like paper, exploding into a sky full of flying arcane fragments!
The Little Devil's carefully constructed magical net had two huge, irreparable holes!
Immediately after, the two Destroyers collapsed.
The Hell Tower's ray immediately turned to the two Destroyers that had just been unfrozen.
The battle once again entered a countdown.
The Little Devil's attention was firmly fixed on these last two Destroyers. His mind raced, calculating the Hell Tower's damage, his Queen's output, the opponent's health...
He had to win!
He had to kill them all before they destroyed the inner wall!
He was too focused.
So focused that he didn't notice at all.
In a chaotic corner of the battlefield, shrouded in magical light and explosion smoke.
A figure, like a hunter stealthily moving in the shadows, was taking steady and deadly steps, following the breach in the defense line torn open by the Destroyer army, unhurriedly, step by step, approaching his high and mighty Queen.
It was Lin Feng's War Lord.
From the very beginning, he had hidden himself in the shadows of the Destroyer army.
He used their massive bodies as cover, attracting everyone's attention.
And he himself, like the most patient assassin, waited for an opportunity for a single, fatal strike.
Now, the opportunity had arrived.
The Little Devil's Archer Queen was standing on the inner city wall; to achieve maximum output range, her position was only a step away from the edge of the wall.
Behind her, there was no one.
All her attention was on the two Destroyers in the distance, racing against the Hell Tower.
A perfect, absolute blind spot.
A chilling killing intent flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.
Now!
Cloak of Invisibility!
The War Lord's figure, without any warning, instantly vanished into thin air.
Immediately after!
Close Combat Stance!
The longbow in his hand instantly contracted and transformed into a slender yet sharp, unique long blade!
Like a phantom, he silently appeared behind the Archer Queen.
The distance was so close that he could even smell the faint scent of blood and gunpowder on the Queen's silver hair.
Rage!
From the Hero Altar, the crimson battle cry, fused with the will of the king and queen, crossed space and powerfully empowered the War Lord!
Buzz—!
The War Lord's body was instantly enveloped by a visible wave of crimson energy!
Attack power and attack speed surged instantly!
"Die."
Lin Feng's will was like the never-melting winds of Siberia.
The long blade in his hand transformed into a crimson lightning bolt, striking twice in less than a second, fiercely slashing the Archer Queen's undefended back!
Puff! Puff!
The Little Devil's pupils suddenly contracted to pinprick size!
He didn't even have time to see what happened, only seeing the health bar of his Level 30 Queen on his screen instantly empty as if she had seen a ghost!
-4800!
-4800!
Two blood-red critical damage numbers, enough to suffocate anyone, exploded!
