Chapter 498

A faint light radiated from his body, blocking the attack.

In the Super Ultimate Defense state, his defense reached its limit.

Lin Moyu was not surprised; after all, he was an 80th-level Crusader, so how could he not have some means of self-preservation?

But so what? It would have no impact on the outcome.

Those who deserve to die must die.

Lin Moyu looked at Crede, who had broken through the restraints, and muttered, "Next step, you should be fleeing now, right?"

No sooner had Crede broken through the restraints than screams reached his ears.

People had already died under the axes of the Skeleton Berserkers.

Not everyone had the ability to break free from the restraints instantly.

Even if they broke free from the restraints, they still had to face the axes of the Skeleton Berserkers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of explosions rang out, and Crede was instantly hit by hundreds of attacks.

Elemental Explosion detonated continuously on his body.

Then, sharp arrows tore through the air, striking his body with a sound like iron being hammered.

Tens of thousands of Skeleton Archmages and tens of thousands of Skeleton Marksmen launched attacks simultaneously; the frequency of the attacks was absolutely shocking.

The explosions continued unabated, and more screams rang out as others died again.

Crede had originally wanted to rush over and fight Lin Moyu to the death.

But looking at the dense crowd of skeletons and hearing the screams of his companions,

Crede knew he had no chance.

"Run!"

Without a second thought, he turned around and activated the Charge skill, intending to smash through the skeletons and escape.

It was not just him; the other two Crusaders over level 80 were the same.

Their bodies radiated brilliant light as they charged frantically outward through the skeleton horde.

They didn't even know which direction they were charging in; they only knew they had to break out of the encirclement.

However, no matter how they tried to break out, there were skeletons in every direction—countless skeletons.

The Skeleton Berserkers' attacks were ineffective, so they simply stopped attacking and instead began to block them, refusing to let them leave.

The three of them charged outward with all their might, knocking aside one skeleton after another.

But there were simply too many skeletons; a full 30,000 skeletons occupied a large stretch of the sky.

No matter how they charged, they couldn't break out.

Time passed second by second, and Crede grew increasingly desperate.

There was not a shred of hope.

The screams of his companions rang in his ears incessantly.

One companion after another was killed.

He could see people constantly leaving the party.

In this situation, leaving the party meant death.

Finally, a minute passed.

The light on his body vanished completely.

Skill: Ultimate Defense!

Without the ultimate skill Super Ultimate Defense, he had to settle for casting Ultimate Defense.

Although it could greatly increase his defense, it was not invincible.

Moreover, its duration was only 30 seconds, and it would decrease further when attacked.

His actions were all seen by Lin Moyu.

Just the moment he activated Ultimate Defense, the Skeleton Berserkers' attack was launched suddenly.

Elemental Explosion and sharp arrows arrived in response.

The light of Ultimate Defense lasted only two seconds before it was instantly extinguished.

He looked back at Lin Moyu and realized that his efforts over the last minute had only allowed him to fly less than a hundred meters.

It was not just him; the three fellow Crusaders were in the same situation.

The three wretched brothers were no better off than each other.

Skill: Group Defense!

Crede activated his last skill capable of all-around defense. A shield appeared, pushing away the Skeleton Berserkers beside him and giving him a moment to catch his breath.

Other skills were useless; facing attacks coming from all directions, other defensive skills were too limited.

But he knew very well that the Group Defense skill could only hold for a few seconds at most.

Crede seemed to have made up his mind. He knelt in mid-air, placed his shield in front of him, and raised his long sword high, "Holy Mandate Sacrifice!"

His eyes were filled with piety, and a pure white light shot straight into the sky.

The other two Crusaders also knelt in mid-air, raising their long swords high, their postures identical to Crede's.

They shouted in unison, "Holy Mandate Sacrifice!"

Three beams of pure white light shot into the sky and merged into one.

Under the shroud of the pure white light, the three seemed to enter a strange state.

All attacks were blocked, and the skeletons could not get close even by a single step.

"Sacrifice?"

"Is it the same skill as the Abyssal Demon's?"

He had personally experienced the Abyssal Demon's sacrifice several times, which had summoned powerful demons in the end.

He wondered what this trio's sacrifice would bring.

Sensing something was wrong, he issued a new order.

The screams became more urgent, and in the blink of an eye, everyone else from the Holy Mandate Sect except for the three Crusaders was slaughtered.

The pure white light merged from the three illuminated the Wind and Thunder Sea for a hundred miles around.

Within this patch of white light, the wind ceased and the thunder stopped.

Large swathes of rosy light descended from the sky.

Then, the three shouted in unison, "We respectfully invite the Divine Descent!"

A phantom suddenly appeared within the white light, with the silhouette of a female.

Behind the phantom grew a pair of pure white wings; it was not a demon, nor was it of the Dragon race.

The phantom gradually solidified, emitting a holy light.

Lin Moyu frowned slightly, "Angel!"

Angels were one of the totems of the Holy Mandate Sect. This sect worshipped a deity named Holy Mandate and referred to Holy Mandate as the Supreme God.

And angels were the messengers under the Supreme God, also being deities themselves.

As the angel turned from a phantom into a solid entity, it manifested.

The bodies of the three Crusaders began to slowly disappear, eventually merging into the angel.

The angel slowly opened its eyes, its gaze landing on Lin Moyu like lightning, "Heretic, you shall be burned to death by the Holy Fire!"

"Burn your sister!"

Lin Moyu felt the god-level aura on the opponent and promptly cast Detection Spell.

[Angel Spirit (Pseudo-God Level)]

[Formed by the gathered faith of generations of Holy Mandate Sect followers, summoned by sacrificing lives, possessing pseudo-god level strength, and can exist for 5 minutes.]

Fortunately, it was only pseudo-god level.

He had killed a suppressed Demon King and the God of Poison who was on the verge of death and in a long slumber.

This 90th-level pseudo-god, even if stronger than the Flame Demon King from back then, wouldn't be much stronger.

Yan Kuangsheng had said that all pseudo-gods were level 90; there were no other levels.

Even at level 90, there was a world of difference between a pseudo-god and a true god.

If the summoned entity had been a level 90 god-level powerhouse, Lin Moyu would have turned and fled without a word.

But now, Lin Moyu took a deep breath, "Then let's try fighting it. I still have 7 solidified Fire God Crystals; that should be enough."

"If that's not enough, there's still the God of Poison's blood essence, and the Godhead."

—Seeking Flowers—

"If that still doesn't work, I'll detonate the God of Poison's corpse; I don't believe I can't kill you!"

His eyes radiated an excited light, and his fighting spirit surged.

Lin Moyu had many trump cards in his hand and was not afraid at all.

The air roared, and the killing intent swept down, enveloping the newly formed Angel Spirit.

The Angel Spirit trembled slightly upon being struck by the killing intent, clearly feeling extremely uncomfortable.

It slapped a palm down towards Lin Moyu.

Without using any visible skills, the sea surface collapsed violently, forming a Great Vortex.

Struck by the immense force, Lin Moyu plummeted downward.

This palm had immense power. Lin Moyu didn't know what skill it was, but in any case, the Undead Legion was severely injured by the single blow.

He pointed his finger, and Bone Prison was suddenly activated.

This time, targeting a single entity, the binding power of Bone Prison was exerted to the maximum.

The Angel Spirit's offensive was instantly interrupted, and Lin Moyu took the opportunity to break free and fly out.

The Skeleton Berserkers had seized the opportunity to rush forward, surrounding the Angel Spirit from all sides.

The Angel Spirit was over 50 meters tall, and the Skeleton Warriors were like ants before it.

Now, the ants had crawled all over its body.

…

The Skeleton Archmages and Skeleton Marksmen surrounded it from all sides, launching attacks without pause.

At this moment, raging flames ignited on the Angel Spirit's body, and the Holy Fire shot into the sky.

Bone Prison shattered instantly.

Large swathes of seawater were evaporated, and the air was filled with steam.

The Skeleton Berserkers were all ignited, suffering severe damage.

The Lich General was busy non-stop, frantically healing at the fastest speed possible.

The back of Lin Moyu's hand suddenly glowed, and the [Strong Soldier] skill was activated.

At the same time, he pointed a finger, and a Curse descended.

The next second, the Curse was burned away by the Holy Fire.

A speck of green light exploded.

Skill: Poison Star Explosion.

The Angel Spirit's pure white flames instantly turned into eerie green fire, very similar to Abyssal Fire.

Soul Fire flickered in Lin Moyu's left palm.
