Chapter 183: A Complete Victory! The High Priest at the End of His Rope

Sarah Blade Dance lunged forward again like a fierce tiger.

At the same time.

Assam was also engaged in a head-on battle with the Hunter legion of two or three hundred men led by the three black-robed priests.

"Soldiers, charge head-on!"

"Archer squad, take down their archers!"

Upon receiving the order.

Elisa, Renice, and the other archers instantly aimed at the archers on the watchtower, launching a fierce offensive.

Meanwhile, over a hundred Ascalon Warriors activated their bond skill: Fearless Charge!

At this moment, a blue energy seemed to rise from their bodies.

The energy of over a hundred people merged into a blue torrent, giving an unstoppable feeling.

Then, they suddenly launched a charge forward!

"For the glory of the Lord! Crush them!"

"Charge!"

Under the status of [Queens Will] + [Fearless Charge], their speed at this moment did not even lose to the undead legion of Duke Baradin!

Feeling the attack launched by these soldiers, the three black-robed priests hurriedly ordered.

"Quick, block these soldiers!"

Those Hunter warriors and Hunter scouts rushed up quickly.

However, the moment they made contact, they were scattered by this blue torrent.

Swish! Swish, swish!

Longswords sliced across the skin of the Hunters, and dense damage numbers appeared.

[-647]

[-698]

[-1024!]

[-647]

[-533]

[-783]

…

Even though the Hunter warriors here were generally a few levels higher than them, separated by a major tier.

They were still killed on the spot by the Ascalon Warriors!

Even the three black-robed priests could not stop their charging footsteps.

Wherever they passed, they left a trail of corpses.

At least dozens of Hunter warriors lost their lives in this wave of charges!

The Hunters looked at this scene in horror.

"So… so strong…"

"What is going on with these soldiers? Why do they all have so many shields? And their recovery ability is so fast?"

"Damn it! My attacks land on them, but their wounds recover after a while. They are like a group of immortal monsters!"

"Heavens! This is an immortal legion; we cannot defeat them!"

Hearing this, the Hunters felt even more terrified.

The recovery of over five hundred HP per second allowed the HP of these Ascalon Warriors to return to full in just a few seconds.

Cao Xing, who saw this scene from the rear, was pleasantly surprised.

Because he had already seen the prototype of the undead army led by Duke Baradin.

In the near future, he would be able to possess an Ascalon legion of his own!

At this moment, the three black-robed priests hurriedly ordered: "Don't be scared. In this world, there cannot be an immortal legion!"

"They must be blasphemers against the God of Light!"

"Let us bring judgment down upon these evil guys!"

Hearing this, the Hunters regained their fighting spirit.

"That's right, we have the strongest God of Light!"

"God of Light is above! Please grant me the power to kill the enemy!"

The group of Hunters rushed over again.

At this time, Assam, riding on a Frost Wolf, held the King's Blade high and brandished the Sword of Justice.

Swish! Swish, swish, swish!

Strengthened by the King's Blade, Assam's sword qi attack reached over ten meters!

The Hunters hit by his sword qi felt as if they had been slapped by a door panel, and were then knocked flying again.

The formation that had been painstakingly organized was broken by Assam again.

Not only that, there was an archer in the back who landed critical hits with almost every shot, crazily harvesting the heads of those low-HP Hunters.

And Dabai and Volibear, after dismantling the arrow towers, also quickly rushed to Assam's side to help deal with the three black-robed priests.

This time, Cao Xing truly displayed his strongest strength!

Directly launching a powerful surprise attack on this large camp of six hundred people.

On both battlefields, their side held the upper hand.

The number of Hunters was getting smaller and smaller.

Not only that, fighting until now, they discovered a terrifying fact.

That is, it was not just those soldiers.

Everyone on the field seemed to have an ability of immortality!

No matter what kind of attack they received, they would recover as before after a while!

Cao Xing's [Ice Healing Art] was simply too perverted.

Recovering over five hundred HP per second, how could they fight this?

Fighting until now, basically only their side was dying, and the number of people on Cao Xing's side basically didn't decrease.

Several elite Hunters said in shock: "What is going on? Could it be that they are truly immortal?"

"No! They must have accepted the power of an evil god. The great God of Light will bring judgment upon them!"

…

At this time, Cao Xing had cast several large-scale spells in succession, and he alone had taken out at least thirty Hunters.

After his mental power was overdrawn, he swallowed a drop of medium-grade tree sap, and then became full of energy again.

At the same time.

He condensed an ice spear again, and then this spear began to rotate at high speed.

Whoosh—whoosh—

Carrying the sound of wind that tore everything apart, it instantly rushed into the crowd of Hunters, stirring up a large area of damage just over two thousand!

It was [Ice Soul Spinning Spear]!

Under so many powerful skills.

Cao Xing discovered that his output capability was already a notch stronger than in the [Demon Transformation] state.

"Haha, a powerful mage is truly a huge threat on the battlefield!"

"If I saw such a mage, I would definitely do whatever it takes to take the opponent out first."

How could that white-robed priest not understand this point?

He ordered the black-robed priest to organize several surprise attacks, wanting to come and kill Cao Xing.

And often at this time, his subordinates would act as if they had gone berserk, attacking the enemy crazily.

Especially the big guy Braum.

He directly smashed his shield onto the ground, and then directly threw out his ultimate move [Glacial Fissure], freezing a large area of Hunters in place!

Even other elite assassins were all swatted away by Liu Muxue, who was by Cao Xing's side, using her shield!

After Liu Muxue advanced to a Tier 3 Aurora Knight, her combat power was also astonishingly high, simply not letting them get close to Cao Xing.

So this resulted in a situation where Cao Xing could output safely, and no one could manage him.

Time passed slowly.

Three minutes later.

There were some casualties on Cao Xing's side.

Two Wild Boar Warriors were besieged by several elite assassins, plus the concentrated fire of archers nearby, causing their HP to hit zero in an instant.

And after triggering [Holy Light Redemption], they were focused-fired again and killed on the spot.

Not just the Wild Boar Warriors, there were also two or three casualties on Assam's side.

Seeing this scene, Cao Xing's eyes carried a hint of solemnity.

Sure enough, no matter how many statuses one has, it doesn't count as truly invincible; one still has to be careful.

But compared to the enemy's casualties, this was not worth mentioning.

Fighting until now, the other side had already lost three or four hundred people!

And because more and more people were dying on the Hunters' side, they were almost unable to hold on.

At this moment.

Two Dragon Blood Warriors were relying on the pile of statuses on their bodies, rampaging through the crowd.

Isabelle also continuously dropped large balls of light, causing area-of-effect damage.

Tong Chuchu, hiding behind Cao Xing, also tentatively threw out [Self-Destruct Robots] and [G1-Corona], letting them go to fight next to the Hunters.

Soon, more than half of the Hunters on Cao Xing's side had been taken out.

As for Assam's side, with the addition of Dabai and Volibear, the three leader-level creatures steadily suppressed the three black-robed priests opposite them.

And the other Ascalon Warriors, fighting one against two or three, were completely capable!

The white-robed High Priest also noticed that the number of Hunters in this camp was decreasing rapidly.

He asked with a gloomy look: "Who exactly are you? Why do you want to raid our camp of the Church of Light?"

However, Cao Xing said: "Who cares who I am. You were just being disrespectful to my Dark Elf, right?"

"Isabelle, you don't need to help here, go over and finish him!"

After hearing Cao Xing's order, Isabelle directly shifted her firepower and began to condense a large ball of light to bombard this white-robed assassin.

Seeing this scene, Sarah, who was fighting the white-robed priest, had a touch of shyness on her face.

That was a feeling of being protected.

At the same time, a warm current seemed to surge in her heart, actually making her blade movements a few points faster!

The white-robed priest's expression sank.

He could only barely suppress Sarah when fighting her alone.

Now with an additional leader-level mage, the situation was directly reversed.

Sarah's twin blades suppressed this guy's sharp blade, and then slashed down directly.

Swish! Swish!

Two blades flashed past.

[-3072]

[-4577!]

At this moment, the HP of this white-robed priest had been pushed below fifty thousand.

Although Sarah's HP had also dropped to 15,000, it quickly recovered thanks to Isabelle's Healing Chain and Cao Xing's Ice Healing Art.

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly critical, the High Priest in White Robes said in a deep voice, "Among the Otherworld Lords, there is no one as powerful as you."

"A few days ago, that raid on Priest Sodav's camp… that was you, wasn't it?"

He had already roughly guessed Cao Xing's identity.

Cao Xing did not deny it. "So what if it was?"

The High Priest in White Robes said in a deep voice, "As I thought."

"However, although you are very strong, this is the most foolish decision you have ever made."

"Those who make enemies of us never have a good end. The power possessed by our Church of Light far exceeds your imagination!"

"I have already reported information about you to the Bishop. Just wait to suffer the wrath of the Church of Light!"

Saying this, the Priest in White Robes changed his tone.

"However, if you surrender now, I might be able to ask the Bishop to spare your life."

Cao Xing said with a sneer, "Do you think I would believe that?"

He had already confirmed that this guy hadn't reported the matter yet.

Because this Priest in White Robes would never have imagined that an Otherworld Lord wiping out a Black Robed Priest's stronghold was already surprising enough.

Yet now, he was actually in a position to wipe out the stronghold he himself was in, and the action was so swift.

One must know that among the Church of Light's forces in the Gale Snowfield, his location was considered one of the strongest strongholds.

If that was the case, with this Otherworld Lord's strength, wouldn't he be able to wipe out over 90% of the Church of Light's camps in the Gale Snowfield?

Thinking of this, a trace of deeply hidden shock appeared in the eyes of the Priest in White Robes.

Cao Xing ignored him and said directly, "Isabelle, use Holy Chain Ring to control him!"

As Isabelle raised her staff, the experienced High Priest in White Robes instantly sensed danger.

He immediately used Phantom Blink and disappeared from where he stood.

The Holy Chain Ring was released into thin air.

Sarah quickly disappeared from her spot and intercepted the Priest in White Robes once again.

Seeing this, Cao Xing lamented, "This guy can really run."

"But it doesn't matter. He can't outrun us anyway; it's only a matter of time before he's worn down to death."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued to increase his damage output.

Bang! [Ice Breaking Flying Blade] exploded again, taking away the lives of many Hunters.

[You killed Hunter Warrior Lv27, Tier 3 Common creature. Gained EXP: 810]

[Combatants gained EXP: 405]

[You killed Hunter Assassin Lv28, Tier 3 Elite creature. Gained EXP: 2800]

[Combatants gained EXP: 1400]

[You killed…]

Kill notifications appeared continuously.

Meanwhile, as the number of corpses on the ground increased.

A white light rose above the heads of Cao Xing, Liu Muxue, and the others once again.

[Your level has increased. Current level: 23]

[Stat increase from this level up: Strength +6, Agility +5, Spirit +9, Constitution +7, HP +500]

[Your Subordinate Lord: Liu Muxue level has increased. Current level: 23]

[Your territory member, Sarah Blade Dance level has increased. Current level: 28]

A moment later, only one High Priest in White Robes and four Black Robed Priests remained on the field, still putting up a desperate resistance.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about running away, but the Dark Elf Sarah was like an inescapable shadow.

No matter how they tried to shake her off, they couldn't!

Moreover, every time she forced him out of the [Phantom Blink] state, the Holy Light Priest over there and the Spider Queen beside her would cast a control skill, making him incredibly annoyed!

He was almost completely suppressed with no power to fight back!

At this moment, the High Priest in White Robes looked at the other four Black Robed Priests with hopeful eyes.

Only then did he realize they were being besieged by dozens of powerful entities, in an even worse situation than his.

Especially the Black Robed Priest on Cao Xing's side, who was being besieged by a group of people. Not only that, but he also had seven or eight hooks hanging on his body, unable to escape even if he wanted to.

Seeing this scene, the High Priest in White Robes knew he was completely done for this time!

With a final glimmer of hope, he glanced quietly at a corner next to the Great Rift Valley.

In the shadows, the High Priest in White Robes had already arranged for several Hunter Assassins to sneak out secretly, preparing to go and seek help from other Hunter camps.

However, what he didn't know was that Cao Xing had also arranged for manpower above the Great Rift Valley. At this moment, Rabb was already engaging those Hunters in battle up there.

At this moment, Cao Xing was dealing with the dying Black Robed Priest. As a [Great Ice Spear] pierced out. Pfft! [-1739]

The Black Robed Priest's HP hit zero, and he collapsed on the spot.

[You killed Black Robed Priest: Finn Hanson Lv31, Tier 4 Boss-level creature. Cross-level kill: Gained EXP: 12400 * 2]

[Please note: Due to you killing too many Church of Light priests, the hidden favorability of this faction has dropped to the lowest level.]

[Once exposed, you will attract the attention or even the pursuit of a Church of Light Bishop!]

Cao Xing was stunned. "Uh… did I kill too many? The favorability actually dropped to the lowest level." "But, whatever! Anyway, I never intended to have a good relationship with this faction."

There was no helping it; the gains from wiping out a Hunter camp were too great. Not counting other benefits, just the items dropped by the hundreds of dead Hunters were a huge fortune!

Cao Xing had already seen equipment, Hearts of Strength, and even souls scattered all over the ground! If he collected them all, it would definitely greatly increase his strength.

Meanwhile, the battle on Assam's side was also nearing its end. The momentum of the battle between Dabai and Volibear was too astonishing.

One had Mammoth Stomp, the other had Thunderous Smash; both were skills with various area-of-effect and control effects. In particular, Volibear also had an ultimate skill: Thunderous Descent!

Of course, some of the elites among the Hunters also possessed area-of-effect skills. For example, Arrow Rain, Sweep, or Warhammer Slam.

However, as mentioned before, Cao Xing's survivability was too abnormal! In three minutes of combat, it was equivalent to refreshing the Holy Shield nine times, plus Volibear continuously casting [Thunderous Smash], which added another layer of Lightning Shield to them.

Often, the HP that was hard-earned to be whittled down would just rise back up the moment the Holy Shield appeared. Dealing with such enemies was simply despair-inducing!

As Assam swung his war sword, he directly killed the Black Robed Priest in front of him, crossing levels to do so!

[Your territory member: Assam killed Black Robed Priest: Villerad Lynch Lv32. Gained EXP: 12800]

[Your pet: Volibear killed Black Robed Priest: Craig Rose Lv28. Cross-level kill: Gained EXP: 5600 * 2]

[Volibear level has increased. Current level: 16]

[Your pet: Dabai killed Black Robed Priest: Jassim Kadir Lv34. Gained EXP: 13600]

Thus, the three Black Robed Priests on this side were all killed. Assam, leading over a hundred soldiers and the two giant beasts, surrounded the last Priest in White Robes, blocking all his escape routes.

Furthermore, all these soldiers took out ejection hooks. If this Priest in White Robes dared to charge over, he would instantly be hooked by dozens of claws.

Seeing this, Montra also realized that he had reached the end of his road.

He sighed, "You blasphemers, don't think you have already won!"

"You will soon know that today's actions will bring endless disaster!"

"News of this will soon reach the Bishop's ears. Just wait for the sanctions of the Church of Light!"

Listening to his threats, however, Cao Xing laughed.

"Are you talking about those few Hunter scouts who escaped through the secret passage?"

Hearing this, the Priest in White Robes was suddenly shocked! "You… how did you know?"

Cao Xing did not answer, his face still wearing a smile. Because Rabb had already sent a battle report from his side, confirming the killing of the four Hunter scouts who had tried to escape, one of whom was an elite. It seemed his multi-line defense strategy was correct.
