Aojo suddenly noticed that the pace of the humans' attacks had slowed.
It did not know that the Players had the ability to communicate without delay, but simply sensed that the intensity of the attacks had decreased considerably. It naturally assumed that the battle had gone on for too long, exhausting the mortal believers and making it difficult for them to maintain their ferocious assault.
In fact, after Edward proposed the plan and the others agreed to it, they had shared every step of the plan through the Player forums.
Then, the Players who received the news began to guide the believers of other churches.
Thanks to their excellent results in the Twin City Cup and their outstanding performance against the Abomination, the Players were now subtly becoming the leaders of the believers of other churches.
Even if the clerics of the Brilliant White Church had some complaints about that, they eventually put aside their pride as the number one church and decided to trust the Players — of course, that also had to do with the fact that the Players' plan didn't send them to their deaths.
Unlike the members of the Brilliant White Church, the Players were more inclined to carry out the most dangerous tasks when faced with such situations. While it was partly because they were virtuous, the main reason was that the dangerous tasks usually had greater rewards, such as dropping legendary items or whatnot …
Even so, the believers of other churches were unaware of that. Therefore, when the Players showed that they were always leading the charge, they were all convinced by the moral character of the Church of Games, which in turn improved the Players' impression in everyone's mind.
Thanks to the crude bunker the believers of the Earth Temple had built, Aojo didn't notice the truth of the matter, and that was when Edward's plan began.
First, he had Gou Dan draw Aojo's attention: reducing the firepower coming from other directions was part of the plan.
Gou Dan leapt out of the bunker, his legendary AWM (crossbow form) clasped around his wrist. After confirming that at least one of Aojo's pupils was staring at him through the decreasing durability of his equipment, he raised his hand exaggeratedly and struck a very chuunibyou pose.
Meanwhile, Eleena and Edward, who were hiding behind the bunker, did their best to buff Gou Dan.
White mystical light (Eleena's Holy Light) and black wicked flames (Edward's Blackflame Dragon) wrapped around Gou Dan's body and slowly gathered in a spiral form onto Gou Dan's crossbow.
Then, Eggface secretly activated the crossbow's transformation ability, causing it to coolly transform into a high-tech heavy crossbow amidst a series of clanging sounds.
The aura of the white light and black flames became even stronger, and it even gave people the illusion that Eggface was wearing an illusory black and white battle robe.
Moreover, the two energies that kept gathering on the heavy crossbow gave Aojo the impression that the enemy was charging for a big move.
Thus, it began to mobilize its other pupils to focus on Eggface, wanting to melt him before he could complete his ultimate move!
The power of a dozen Destructive Rays of Sight stacked on top of each other, instantly multiplying their destructive power by several folds. Eggface was instantly dealt great damage, and most of his equipment melted like ice cream in an oven. Even Eggface's HP began to drop.
However, as a legendary weapon, the AWM's durability was much higher than most other equipment (of course, it was more expensive to repair). Even under such a terrifying gaze, the AWM could still maintain its form for a short period of time without being damaged.
Moreover, the fact that Eggface was about to be lifted off the ground and yet his weapon was still intact confirmed Aojo's suspicions that the enemy was definitely charging for a big move!
Hence, it stared even more intensely.
By then, Edward had also confirmed from the Players in other directions that most of Aojo's eyes were looking at Gou Dan.
He nodded at Eleena.
Then, Eleena cast a Super Flash never seen before on Eggface.
Flash was a skill that interfered with vision in battle and was actually quite useful, but the Players were facing either undead creatures with no vision or murlocs with poor eyesight, which was why Eleena didn't use it at all.
Even so, it was a small skill that could be learned at Level 5, and for Aojo which only had eyes all over its body, it was clearly not a level of power that stood above the masses.
At the moment when the dazzling light shone, almost everyone heard a deafening, shrill scream.
It wasn't a real sound, but a spiritual blast similar to a Psychic Shriek!
Although Aojo itself didn't know Psychic Shriek, the Super Flash that blinded all of its pupils was clearly inflicting severe pain on it, to the point that its spirit formed a shockwave that spread outwards …
Meanwhile, Aojo's body resembled a porcupine. Countless sharp needles grew over its surface, and it looked as if it had expanded to four or four times its original size!
Even so, such a move to prevent the enemy from attacking at close range while it lost its sight was proof that it was strong on the outside but weak on the inside!
"Now! Attack!"
The Players, who had closed their eyes and covered their faces before Eleena cast the Flash, began to instruct everyone to attack Aojo when they saw that.
While such an attack would deal some damage, it clearly wouldn't have much effect on its enemy's thick armor.
Still, that was merely insurance in case Aojo had other means of attack, so that it wouldn't be able to tell where the enemy was coming from before it regained its sight!
Meanwhile, under the cover of the attacks of the Players and believers of other churches, Jessica was already prepared, riding her Twisted Forest Deer and holding Sefarim in her hand as she dashed towards the divine core that Eleena had pointed out.
"Sefarim, remove the eighth seal!" Jessica cried softly, raising her spear.
"Understood, remove the eighth seal … This is the spear that stands in the land of starfall, wandering the path of stars and shining at the pinnacle — [Stardust Spear]!"
The girl's EXP (Xi Wei's divine power) was injected into Sefarim as fuel, blazing into starry radiance that wrapped around both the girl and the sacred spear.
A translucent band of light suddenly appeared under the hooves of the Twisted Forest Deer, like a path to heaven, leading it and its knight to the direction of the enemy.
That radiance showed no hint of bewilderment even in the face of an enemy that was dozens of times larger than itself. All it had was incomparable resolve and a heroic courage to kill on sight!
In that very moment, it was as if all sound in the world had faded.
And when the radiance faded, the girl's figure had already crossed paths with the Abomination.
In the very next split second, Aojo's body sprayed out a putrid black pus from the hole it had been pierced through. As it screamed shrilly, its entire body slowly shriveled and eventually turned into a pile of torn flesh that mixed with the pus and settled down along with the dust.
Sunlight slowly appeared in the gloomy skies, and the great battle of the Twin City Cup's final battle thus ended in the peaceful atmosphere after the great battle.
