Chapter 1586: Chapter 1609. Overwhelming Force

Arthur had to deal with more enemies because the enemy players were killing his allies faster than he killed his opponents. As time passed, he not only had to fight more opponents but also stronger ones. He couldn't defeat the enemies as easily as before even with his boosted damage and stats. Most of his opponents were now World Maker's core members who had the special classes.

Megan and Herald tried to support Arthur, but they were too in trouble as they were surrounded by the enemies. They didn't give up. They were protected by Faith Armor and their maces shone with purifying light. These were non-standard skills of the inquisitors, Consecrated Weapon. The skill filled the user's weapon with sacred light, increasing the weapon's damage as well as dealing extra damage to magic-class, demons, undead, and darkness enemies

Each hit from the weapon with the Consecrated Weapon had a high chance of disrupting the enemy's spell casting. The lesser the intelligence stat of the hit target, the more likely the casting was disrupted.

Megan also used the level 60 skill from her Exorcist special class, Exorcising Chant. This skill dealt small soul damage to all enemies and healed allies every second in an area around her. The damage was double for demons, undead, darkness, and vampires. The duration of this skill was one minute at its first level and five minutes at its max level, which was the level of Megan's skill. This skill could be ended before its full duration if the user was hit.

As they fought their way to get to Arthur, a series of standard attacks dealing chaos damage assailed them. Megan was hit, which stopped her Exorcising Chant.

Herald, who carried a large shield, immediately put himself before Megan to shield her from more hits. He used his shield to block the chaos element attacks.

"You should have picked the winning side, brother Herald. How pitiful you choose to be tempted by that siren."

The owner of the voice was also the one who sent them the range attacks containing the chaos element. It was Morius, the leader of the Sand Family, one of the two Hydrurond guilds who supported the Liguritudum army. He was under the effect of Demonic Possession. His lesser demon was beside him.

"Morius, you snake. You are just an opportunistic low-life with no honor," Megan scolded.

"Spoken like a vicious siren. It will be my pleasure when I stand over your dead body," Morius said. He continued firing his standard attacks. The lesser demon beside him also fired dark-homing balls at the two.

Both Herald and Megan activated their Angelic Possessions. Wings made of light sprouted behind them as their attributes increased.

Megan used Purging Radiance on the lesser demon, which was a ranged skill. The lesser demon screamed in pain and received light damage. The purging radiance caused a strong reaction to demons, undead, and vampires. The lesser demon stopped attacking then.

Taking the chance, Herald also used his special class' skills. His special class was Witch Hunter. A translucent light covered his body. It was Witch Hunter's level 60 skill, Anti-magic Safeguard. This skill reduced all magical and elemental damage by 80% for thirty seconds at its first level and one minute when it was max-leveled.

With the immunity from magic, Herald tanked Morius' chaos attacks. He also cast Wind Jet, which was learnable by all elite classes branched from the Magician's class. He arrived before Morius in a heartbeat. His mace struck Morius before Morius could react.

His attack was done using Witch Hunter's level 50 skill, Silencing Strike. This skill dealt light damage and also prevented struck opponents from casting any spell in the next ten seconds. But because Herald had maxed this skill, the duration of silence was increased to thirty seconds.

As a spell caster, losing the ability to cast a spell was the same as becoming a sitting duck. Morius was unable to fight back as Herald continued raining one blow after another. His guild members tried to help him but Megan came and stopped them from disrupting Herald.

Morius didn't have a high HP. Under Herald's punishment, he lost his life.

Herald and Megan might have won the fight, but the battle around them was a losing one. Even Arthur was forced to retreat as he repelled the enemy's experts. Spring Crown had appeared out of nowhere and fought against Arthur. Spring Crown was able to coordinate perfectly with the allies around him. This gave Arthur a hard time despite his expert swordsmanship.

Then, they heard gunshots. One of their members received rapid headshots and died. They turned and saw it was Ronald.

With the two heavenly enforcers, their situation became even more precarious. They had to continue to step back as more and more of their comrades fell.

While the players from Hydrurond's side were having difficulty, the opposing native armies fought to a stalemate. Neither had an advantage over the others. Dytess fought against Oberon, Liguritudum's high marshall. The two had fought before and knew one another's skills. Both intended the battle this time to be the last.

The battle continued for half a day. Hydrurond's players might be losing. But with the support from the native soldiers, they stopped their continuous retreat. Even though the two native armies appeared equal, the morale of the Hydrurond army was higher. Hence, they could cover the loss suffered by the player's side.

When Aldryth thought they could slowly push this battle to their advantage, she heard the sound of a horn from behind the Liguritudum army.

Everyone looked in that direction. What they saw caused their eyes to bulge. A sea of draconians was heading their way. Their number was so great that they seemed to cover the entire landscape. Riding in front of this overwhelming force was Master. Above him flew two giant dragons.

"This… This is how many of our people he has sacrificed…?" Zoikod asked with a trembling voice.

Aldryth couldn't utter a word. She was both horrified and infuriated by the scene before him.

The force that Master brought probably reached ten million.
