Chapter 322: Believing in the Occurrence of Miracles

West City Gate.

The battle at the breach was still ongoing.

Because the East City Gate where Gandalf was located attracted the vast majority of the beast horde's main force, the exotic beasts rushing in from the West City Gate were actually not very many.

However, on the faces of every single person present, there wasn't a hint of ease.

Everyone's gazes unanimously looked toward the eastern horizon.

Even though separated by a distance of more than ten kilometers, they could still clearly feel those two suffocatingly terrifying auras that felt like the heavens were collapsing.

That was the aura of a Hell-level BOSS.

Moreover, there was more than one.

"Gulp."

City Guard Commander Zhang Chiming swallowed hard, and that face which always carried a bit of arrogance was now left with only deathly pale.

He leaned close to Li Gang, his voice becoming parched due to extreme fear.

"Li… Minister Li, what… what on earth is the situation in the east?"

"Lord Gandalf… can he withstand it all by himself?"

Li Gang did not speak.

He only silently shoved a new magazine into the cold dragon-headed heavy sniper rifle in his hands.

Zhang Chiming looked at his expression heavy as water, and the anxiety in his heart grew increasingly intense.

He gritted his teeth and probing asked, "With Lord Gandalf's current strength, facing two Hell-level BOSSes simultaneously, I'm afraid… I'm afraid he can't block them at all, right?"

"Should… should we take some people over to help him?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Gang finally reacted.

He abruptly turned his head, his bloodshot tiger eyes staring fixedly at Zhang Chiming, his gaze filled with undisguised mockery and anger.

"Help?"

He retorted unpleasantly.

"How to help?"

"Can your fucking self deal with a Hell-level BOSS, or can Laozi deal with a Hell-level BOSS?!"

Li Gang's voice was hoarse and filled with irritability.

Zhang Chiming shivered from his roar, subconsciously taking half a step back, opening his mouth, but unable to say a single word.

That's right.

Hell-level.

That was an existence surpassing Calamity-level, truly representing destruction and despair.

For a group of Professionals like them who could barely cope with Calamity-level BOSSes to run over there, what other meaning could it have besides being cannon fodder?

Looking at Zhang Chiming's face that had turned the color of a pig's liver, the anger in Li Gang's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.

He sighed heavily, his voice filled with desolation.

"That is no longer a battle we can participate in."

He turned his head and looked again toward the eastern sky shrouded in crimson and dark green light, murmuring to himself.

"The only thing we can do now is guard our own plot of land."

"And then… believe in him."

"Believe in the occurrence of miracles."

…

Meanwhile, at the East City Gate.

Above the ruins, the moment the figure of Hou Yi appeared, it instantly attracted the full attention of those two colossal behemoths.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon in the sky stopped the action of spewing Dragon Breath.

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent below also stopped the behavior of destroying the defensive Formation with its snake tail.

Their gazes crossed the smoke and flames of war, locking tightly onto the tiny figure as insignificant as an ant at the top of the dilapidated building.

In their eyes, there was no longer the contempt and cruelty they had previously shown when facing Gandalf.

Replaced by it was an incomparably solemn emotion, even carrying a hint of dread.

What they dreaded was not Hou Yi.

But rather the small, archaic black seal in his hand that exuded supreme Divine Might!

The reason Zhou Huai did not let Hou Yi ride Xiaohei directly over was also after deep consideration.

Although Xiaohei was also a Hell-level BOSS, its Rank was too low after all.

Compared to these two behemoths in front of them that casually exceeded Rank 50, it was still a small fries after all.

If it accidentally got focused-fired and instantly killed by the opponent, that would really be a huge loss.

A Clone could be resurrected if it died.

If Xiaohei died, really nothing would be left.

Therefore, he could only let Hou Yi's smart core ai alone sneak over while taking the risk of being instantly killed.

In the sky, that Purgatory Flame Dragon burning entirely with crimson flames let out bursts of muffled low roars.

Reaching their level, their intelligence was already far from being comparable to ordinary exotic beasts.

They were very clear that the thing in Hou Yi's hand posed a fatal threat to them.

Before he could use it, it must be eliminated!

Still without any wind-up.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon abruptly opened its bloody maw filled with ferocious fangs.

A crimson Dragon Breath, more torrential and scorching than any previous time, like a waterfall of fire pouring down from above the Nine Heavens, swept toward the location where Hou Yi was!

That terrifying high temperature even caused the air along the way to undergo violent distortion!

Hum——!

At the very moment the Dragon Breath was spewed.

On the building beneath Hou Yi's feet, as well as several surrounding structures, lines of Formations that had long been inscribed were instantly activated!

Several deep blue energy barriers rose from the ground, layer upon layer, interweaving into a huge defensive network that blocked in front of the Dragon Breath!

Boom——!!!

The crimson Dragon Breath fiercely crashed into the first barrier!

That sixth-Rank defensive Formation light barrier, which was enough to withstand the full-force attack of a Calamity-level BOSS, was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of this absolute power.

Persisting for less than two seconds, after a violent flash, it shattered with a bang!

Closely followed by the second, third, fourth…

However, this delay of less than ten seconds was already enough to create huge operational space for Hou Yi.

His figure, like a ghost, swiftly maneuvered between buildings, and every jump could cross a distance of tens of meters.

By the time that terrifying Dragon Breath broke through the final layer of barrier with unstoppable force and completely melted those few buildings into a sheet of magma.

Hou Yi's figure had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

The distance between him and those two Hell-level BOSSes, conversely, was getting closer and closer.

Below, seeing this scene, in the pale green vertical pupils of the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent, a trace of humanized anxiety actually leaked out.

It opened its bloody maw, seemingly wanting to repeat its old trick and spew out the highly toxic venom capable of corroding everything.

But right at this moment.

Gandalf on the other side moved.

He lightly tapped his staff, his voice cold.

"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"

Crack!

A visible colorful cold current, like a teleportation, accurately fell upon the head of the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent, which was the size of a house!

The gorgeous colorful ice crystals frantically spread at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent's bloody maw that had just opened, before it even had time to spew out the venom, was completely sealed shut by a thick layer of solid ice flashing with colorful flowing light!

"Hiss… woo woo…"

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent let out bursts of painful and muffled hisses, its massive body twisting wildly in place, attempting to break free from this damned restraint.

But how could solid ice blessed by the [heart of aurora] be so easily broken free from?

For a moment, it was actually tightly trapped in place.

"Roar——!!!"

Seeing this, the Purgatory Flame Dragon in the sky let out a furious dragon roar!

It abruptly flapped that pair of huge wings blotting out the sky, its dragon mouth opening wide!

This time, it was no longer Dragon Breath.

But hundreds of scorching fireballs the size of human heads, burning entirely with raging flames!
