54: Northern War God

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Radiant streaks from colorful skills lit up the sky and earth, continuously bombarding the boundary wall.

The boundary wall immediately erupted with a heaven-shaking roar,

and rows of damage numbers rapidly jumped up.

On a high ground not far away.

Watching this magnificent scene, Lin Nan, the leader from the Demon Slaying Institute, showed a proud expression.

He came from the main headquarters of the Imperial Capital Demon Slaying Institute.

Under orders from the headquarters, he had led all available experts at the War General Rank and above to gather here.

There was only one goal!

That was to gather all strength to launch an attack on the boundary wall of the Forest Kingdom map.

Intending to follow in the footsteps of Demon Slayer and break through the Rank 200 barrier for Human Race Players once more.

To elevate the overall strength of the Human Race to Rank 200+!

“Phew, it looks like this mission can reach Perfection.”

At this moment, seeing that the wall-breaking plan was going smoothly, the handsome Lin Nan's eyes flickered as he murmured excitedly.

Having said that, he turned his head to the right,

placing his gaze on a burly middle-aged man with a sword scar between his eyebrows, and asked with utmost respect:

“Senior, what do you think?”

However, the middle-aged man maintained a posture with his hands behind his back, his aura restrained and his face indifferent.

It was as if he hadn't heard anything, completely ignoring him.

Lin Nan gave a bitter smile in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect.

Because this man's identity in China was anything but ordinary; it could be said his status was transcendent.

Divine Punishment Rank: Rank 2150!

Private Rank: War God Third Stage!

Ranked 33rd on the Human Race Total Combat Power Leaderboard!

Title bestowed by the Demon Slaying Institute: North Border War God!

Every War God has a title!

This is not only recognition of their strength but also a display of their status.

And once one reaches the supreme Rank of War God, their debut represents the Peak combat power of the Human Race!

An existence that could annihilate a Demon Race legion single-handedly!

With a top-tier powerhouse like the North Border War God overseeing this wall-breaking operation,

this was precisely the most important reason why Lin Nan was so confident.

“Crap, what's going on?!”

However, just at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A cry of alarm suddenly erupted from the crowd.

Lin Nan was startled and hastily looked over.

He saw that on the shimmering boundary wall, countless green numbers were actually jumping up!

+99,999,999!

+99,999,999!

...The boundary wall was actually recovering health!

“Impossible, how can it recover health?”

This turn of events was unexpected for Lin Nan, and he immediately became panicked.

In the research results provided to him by Imperial Capital University, there was no mention of the boundary wall recovering health!

“Could it be that a previous maintenance changed the mechanics?”

Lin Nan suddenly realized.

That's it!

After Demon Slayer broke the Novice Map boundary wall last time, the System performed a maintenance afterward.

It seems that during that maintenance, the System quietly added a health recovery setting to the boundary wall.

Damn, the System is such a schemer!

Lin Nan gnashed his teeth, his expression becoming increasingly unsightly.

Considering the urgency of time,

he no longer cared about whether he would offend him or not and hurriedly asked the North Border War God beside him:

“Senior, the boundary wall suddenly started recovering health. What should we do now?”

The North Border War God remained calm and composed, finally speaking indifferently upon hearing this.

“No matter, I shall take action myself.”

Hearing these words,

Lin Nan's whole body shook, and his heart settled down as if he had taken a sedative... In front of the boundary wall,

hundreds of Human Race experts were cursing, their faces full of frustration.

They had bombarded it with all their might for a long time, only for the boundary wall to fully recover its health in just a few seconds!

How the Hell are we supposed to play this!

“Look, the North Border War God is taking action!”

Right then, someone cheered.

The experts immediately felt a suffocating pressure rushing toward them,

and everyone gasped simultaneously.

With a flash of a phantom image, the North Border War God shot into the sky like a cannonball.

Bang!

A booming sound rang out,

and in an instant, the North Border War God's form turned into a sky-covering gale,

the wind reaching tens of thousands of meters high, connecting heaven and earth.

The gale swept through and swallowed everything; the entire area in front of the boundary wall was caught in the eye of the storm.

The earth shattered, the Void Realm was torn apart,

and even the forest a thousand meters away was uprooted and leveled; the scene was like Hell on earth.

“Too strong, is this an SS-Rank Talent?”

The experts huddled together, shivering, looking up as the endless storm slammed forcefully against the boundary wall.

Boom!

In the next moment, a deafening roar rang out.

The gale slammed violently against the shimmering boundary wall.

But!

The boundary wall remained completely unmoved.

It only lost ten billion health, and in an instant, countless green numbers jumped up again.

It was back to full health!

“This...”

The Human Race experts looked at each other in dismay.

Even the North Border War God couldn't break this boundary wall!

However, the storm in the high sky did not cease at all.

Instead, it became even more violent, and a loud cold snort from the North Border War God suddenly echoed between heaven and earth:

“Interesting, I'm going to get serious now!”

With those words finished.

The storm suddenly became even thicker, its force crushing everything in its path as heaven and earth fell into Chaos.

“Hiss, the North Border War God's Wind-type Talent has actually triggered a resonance with the Lightning element!”

At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise.

Above the storm, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.

Howling Lightning elements appeared in this world, entwining around the gale. Wind and thunder rolled like thunderclaps, continuously emitting piercing explosive sounds.

Boom!

Immediately after, the wind and thunder struck the boundary wall again.

Creak, creak, creak—

Faint cracks began to appear on the boundary wall!

“Yeah...”

The Human Race experts were about to raise their hands and cheer, shouting “The North Border War God is awesome,”

but the words at the tips of their tongues turned into:

“Holy crap!”

Because this god-forsaken boundary wall had fully recovered its health again!

...Just as the North Border War God was bombarding the boundary wall.

At the edge of the forest,

Su Yan, who had just arrived, was protected by the Divine Power of the Goddess of Dawn, his eyes bulging as he watched.

“Which big shot is Undergoing Tribulation here?”

But he immediately realized,

Undergoing Tribulation my foot, this was clearly some expert trying to break the wall!

Su Yan couldn't help but complain inwardly,

No way, can you even run into competitors while breaking a wall these days?

Fortunately, very soon,

the wind and thunder between heaven and earth slowly disappeared, and the pressure receded like a tide.

Standing under the silver moon, the shimmering boundary wall was still perfectly intact.

Su Yan suddenly laughed, “Heh, so they were just here for a comedy act!”

He was wondering since when wall-breaking became a common Divine Punishment gameplay mode.

They really think anyone can just do it, huh.

Su Yan shook his head and stepped toward the boundary wall.

At the same time, he cast Eye of the Gods toward the crowd ahead and quickly received feedback.

【205 War Generals of Rank 700-800, 112 War Generals of Rank 800-999, 15 War Kings of Rank 1000-1100, 4 War Kings of Rank 1200, 1 War God of Rank 2150】

“Hiss, what a powerful lineup!”

Seeing the lineup of these people, Su Yan was incredibly surprised.

Not to mention they were all high-level players, there was even a War God!

At this time, cursing sounds came from the crowd over there.

“Damn it, we can't break it, we simply can't break it!”

“I'm just so puzzled. With so many of us from the Demon Slaying Institute joining forces, and even the North Border War God taking action, this damn boundary wall didn't even react!

So how exactly did Demon Slayer do it back then?”

“If you ask me, the Divine Punishment System is just being a sore loser.

If it weren't for the health recovery mechanism added during the last maintenance, how could we possibly fail to break it with the North Border War God here!”

“Exactly, now that there's health recovery, there's absolutely no way to break it! Let alone Demon Slayer, even the Human Emperor wouldn't be able to do anything, right?”

“Then why waste any more time? Let's just clock out at light speed. My wife is still waiting for me to go back and cook!”

The voices were many and very noisy.

Hearing this, Su Yan felt enlightened.

So these experts were all organized by the Demon Slaying Institute.

At this moment, seeing that War God big shot flying high in the sky with a very unsightly expression,

Su Yan sighed, “Alright, it's time for me to make my entrance.”
