Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Eighth-Tier Powerhouses, Demon Slayer Slash
John watched the advancing army with disdain, completely unafraid.
If these enemies had thrown everything they had at Phoenix City, they might have overwhelmed him.
But if they thought they could take him down, they were sorely mistaken.
Buzz!
A surge of powerful dark energy swept across the battlefield as John cast Dark Descent, enveloping both the Dark Humans and the Angel Race forces.
The spell weakened the enemies' attributes by 12% while enhancing John's dark magic damage by the same amount.
Whoosh!
He followed up with Dark Storm, unleashing a furious whirlwind of darkness.
Massive damage numbers flickered across the battlefield.
-2,309,030
-180,200
-2,410,020
...
Boosted by the dark magic enhancement, John dealt over two million critical damage and nearly 200,000 true damage per hit.
The notifications flashed rapidly.
[You've killed a level 500 sixth-tier epic Dark Human. You gained 142,000 experience points.] [Plunder talent activated. Spirit +100, Strength +50.]
...
All the enemies below seventh-tier were instantly wiped out.
The once overwhelming force of tens of thousands was reduced to just over ten thousand in mere moments.
Meanwhile, the Undead Lord wasn't idle either. He cast necromancy spells, reanimating the dead Elemental Dragons and Dark Humans as undead creatures to fight against the remaining Dark Human army.
However, John frowned-he had underestimated the strength of these legendary enemies.
His immense dark magic damage, totaling over 1.3 million, couldn't even break the defenses of the seventh-tier pinnacle Two-Winged Angels, let alone the eighth-tier Four-Winged Angels.
"Human, you're strong, but you're still no match for us!" sneered the leader, an eighth-tier pinnacle Four-Winged Angel. He swung his light sword, sending several sword beams hurtling toward John.
John didn't dare take any chances. He conjured a Water Mist Clone and activated Diamond Armor.
Slash!
The powerful sword beams tore through the Water Mist Clone with ease, and two beams followed, one after the other.
Boom!
John's Diamond Armor shattered as the Light Sword Slash struck him directly.
-22,250,000
[You've been killed by the Four-Winged Angel. The Blessed Ring activated, and you've resurrected in place.]
Twenty-two million damage!
As expected, John was instantly killed.
Fortunately, he had plenty of lifesaving measures.
"Human, give up. There's no point in struggling," the Four-Winged Angel said coldly as he watched John resurrect, clearly unsurprised.
He had already learned that John possessed resurrection-type abilities.
"Destroy the city, and the rest of you eighth-tier angels, come with me. We'll kill this Godslayer once and for all!" the leader ordered, gathering the nine other Four-Winged Angels as they all charged toward John.
"Damn it!" John's expression grew serious. He decided it was time to stop playing around with these enemies. With a thought, he summoned Tony and Ben from the Abyss.
Whoosh!
The two appeared in front of him, just as several light swords came slashing through the air. "Hey, kid! Couldn't you give us a warning first?" Tony exclaimed, startled by the sudden attack. A shield resembling a turtle shell appeared in front of him just in time.
Clang, clang...
The Light Sword slashes hit the shield, sparks flying, but Tony was completely unharmed. "Tony, Ben!" The leading Four-Winged Angel's heart skipped a beat, instinctively trying to flee.
"Stop them. Don't kill them, leave them for me to handle," John instructed. He needed to kill these angels himself to Plunder Divinity.
For Tony and Ben, two ninth-tier pinnacle legends, dealing with the Four-Winged Angels posed no challenge at all.
Meanwhile, John charged toward the remaining Dark Humans and Angel Race forces.
The 100 Two-Winged Angels and over 10,000 Dark Humans were too much for the Undead Lord to handle on his own.
Buzz!
Sword energy hummed, dark winds howled, and endless flames surged.
John unleashed the Infinite Sword Array, Dark Storm, and Hellfire, covering the battlefield.
In an instant, the enemy suffered massive casualties.
Boom!
The longsword hit with a thunderous force, immediately triggering the stun effect. But that was only the beginning of Demon Slayer Slash's terror. As long as the skill wasn't interrupted, it would continue to strike endlessly, until the enemy was dead.
Whoosh!
John's attack speed was enhanced to over 300 points, allowing him to strike three times per
second. The longsword moved so quickly it created afterimages.
Slash! Slash!
The continuous barrage of attacks hit their mark. The stun effect hadn't even worn off before
it was triggered again.
The Dark Human stood there, dazed, eyes wide in terror.
John's Demon Slayer Slash tore through the air like relentless waves crashing against the
shore, as damage numbers continuously flashed across the screen.
-47,880
-47,200
Demon Slayer Slash was a basic physical attack, unable to break through the Dark
Human's defenses, but it still dealt over 40,000 true damage with each strike. Against the Dark Human's massive pool of over 30 million HP, this might not seem like much.
But the terrifying part was that he was completely unable to dodge, forced to take the hits while losing over 140,000 HP per second. He wouldn't last long.
His health rapidly plummeted, and within moments, he was on the brink of death. "Human, get away!" The Dark Human roared in panic, finally managing to break free of the stun and interrupt John's relentless assault. He retreated, his heart racing. He exhaled in relief-he had barely 200,000 HP left, narrowly avoiding death. "Hmph, it's over. Flying Sword Strike!" John's cold voice echoed as a terrifying sword beam,
like a streak of lightning across the sky, slashed toward the retreating Dark Human with unstoppable force.
"No..." The Dark Human's eyes widened in terror as he roared in desperation, but it was too
late to dodge.
Boom!
-282,000
A deafening explosion sounded as John's attack dealt over 280,000 true damage, instantly
wiping out the last of the Dark Human's health.
[You have slain a level 3000 eighth-tier legendary Dark Human. You gained 12.16 million
experience points.]
[Plunder talent activated. Strength +100, Spirit +100, Constitution +50, Agility +50.] As the notifications flashed, John immediately Plundered 300 attribute points.
Along with that, a variety of items dropped, including a black longsword-a powerful
artifact.
John casually stored it away.
Turning his gaze to the other side of the battlefield, he saw Tony and Ben looking worse for
wear, but still managing to contain the 14 angels.
"Let one of the angels through," John called out.
He couldn't handle all the seventh-tier angels at once, so he had to take them down one by
one.
Without hesitation, Tony and Ben released one of the Two-Winged Angels.
This was a seventh-tier legendary Two-Winged Angel at its peak.
Having witnessed John kill the eighth-tier Dark Human, the angel knew he stood no chance.
He immediately turned to flee.
"Trying to run?" John scoffed, activating Sword Flight and quickly chasing after him.
Once again, he unleashed Demon Slayer Slash.
The stun effect triggered, and the Two-Winged Angel had no chance to fight back, swiftly
falling under John's sword.
John gained another point of Divinity and Luck.
And so it continued.
Using the same method, John hunted down the angels one by one.
Even the powerful Four-Winged Angels stood no chance, falling with ease. Only the leader, the eighth-tier Four-Winged Angel, proved to be more of a challenge. He
seemed to possess some kind of immunity to control effects, putting up considerable
resistance.
In the end, John had no choice but to activate the ultimate skill of the Sword of Divinity and Demons-Wrath of the Gods. With the assistance of Tony and Ben, he finally managed to take down the leader in a hard-fought battle.
