"Everyone, calm down. It's the same for the First Saint …" Some of the heroes in the void were calm as well. They warned everyone not to panic because the Great Depletion Art didn't differentiate between friend and foe.
"We can't wait, it's different!" the leader roared.
The heroes were astonished.
The leader roared, "Tang Shidao has been to the demonic lands with the most severe mental disorder, but he himself came out unscathed. You guys can't compare to him in terms of spiritual attacks. Hurry up … no, take it slow … no … this … "
There was no answer, no solution.
Everyone had been to the neutral lands, and most of them had a "depletion" effect. Everyone knew that the more depleted the environment, the more energy they had to conserve. In such an environment, the alchemists with mana recovery potions were the ones with the greatest advantage. Originally, with the Southern Void's alchemists, the Void Heroes were considered the most advantageous side. But that wasn't necessarily the case under the effects of Spiritual Tremor.
In terms of spiritual attacks, who could compare to Tang Shidao who had come out of the demonic lands safely?
"We can't wait. I'll attack and exhaust that shadow's mana first. "The Void Heroes didn't find it too dangerous since numbers were an advantage. At this time, a runemaster with a scroll on his back stepped forward, indicating that it was better to strike first.
In this depleted environment, Tang Shidao couldn't replenish his mana either.
It wasn't easy to torture him now, but killing him wasn't hard either.
"Be careful, he and the other shadow haven't moved," someone warned in a whisper.
"Mn."
Without waiting for more words, the runemaster attacked first. Falling Fire, Frost Dragon, and Tornado — all of them were high-energy spells. He also believed that the other party would have to use a high-energy defensive spell or else he wouldn't be able to block them. If he used Blink or Teleport, his companions would find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Under the effects of the Great Depletion Art, too many tricks would end up killing him.
As expected, the shadow of the next life activated Ice Wall and Fire Net, as well as a disintegration spell to suppress the Tornado.
This time, the Shadow of the Next Life consumed even more energy.
The runemaster was delighted and was about to attack again. The next second, the energy in the air was broken down and slowly condensed into magical energy. Then, it poured into the shadow's body like specks of light. It felt as though it had replenished all of its energy.
"This is …" The Void Heroes were dumbfounded.
"Derived from the Great Replacement Technique, the replacement of power and magic. It's a method of breaking down spells into magic power, and only a part of the energy can be recovered. " Tang Shidao replied and reminded them, "Let me remind you that this is a derivative of the Great Curse, which means that it will always be effective. No matter what spell you cast, I'll be able to get some nourishment. "
Hearing this, the Runemaster took a step back subconsciously.
Casting spells was the same as replenishing the enemy?
Or was it the effect of a great curse?
At this moment, some of the Void heroes could not help but turn around and look at the team leaders and mentors outside the field, as if asking: What should we do?
The team leader and instructor were also speechless. They didn't know what to do.
The Great Withering Spell was a great curse that everyone hated because its effects were too terrifying. Even the user would be equally unlucky. But if it was used properly now, it would be a very unsolvable spell. Currently, none of the Void Heroes' mana had been depleted, but they were in an awkward situation where they did not dare to use it recklessly.
"Kill him!" Suddenly, someone flew into the sky, and spells rained down like a thunderstorm.
The effect of Mental Tremor was actually not that strong. It was just that the effect was getting stronger bit by bit.
It could also mess up the mind of those who were not mentally strong.
Magic spells rained down.
As expected … the Shadow of the Next Life was killed.
However, in the blink of an eye, the Shadow of the Next Life was reborn in a flash of magic light. The air vibrated with runes of light again. Strands of mana returned to the Shadow of the Next Life's body, completely replenishing the consumption of the rebirth. The madman wanted to attack again, but very quickly, the other Heroes used magic tools to restrain him.
A commotion broke out.
Tang Shidao was not damaged at all, but the Void Heroes had already lost a lot of energy.
At this moment.
There were more and more voices in their minds. Some of them even remembered their mentors' scolding, their companions' beatings, or their parents' scolding. What was even more terrifying was that these emotions required you to cast spells to calm yourself down. Casting spells would waste your mana. If you waste it, you won't be able to recover it. If you can't recover it, you won't be able to defeat your opponent.
Using and not using, this was an endless cycle.
"How about we work together to seal it?" The Western Void Heroes were the first to suggest.
"It's not like it's Tang Shidao himself."
"Then how do we seal Tang Shidao?"
"He has the Great Replacement Spell. What if he replaces a Crowmen during the seal? Forcefully sealing it would require at least ten times the power, once it's wasted … "
"Are we just going to wait for death?"
"Think again …"
"Think my ass, we signed a life and death contract, only one side can survive."
"It's useless to be impulsive."
"I'm not impulsive, I just don't want to wait for death. I knew you Southern Void people were cowards. If you don't go, we'll go. "
"You Western Void barbarians, wasting mana is just courting death."
"Bah, cowards, dying in battle is better than waiting for death."
Not much time had passed. Before the battle even started, everyone was already in chaos. The Shadow of Death plus mental exhaustion caused the Void Heroes to panic. They never thought that they would die, really, never. Regardless of whether they chose to fight one against one or a group against one, they expected to win.
Equipment was king in the Void.
This was absolutely true.
They had more people, more equipment, more potions, and more scrolls. It was impossible to become the losing side.
But now, there was already a layer of clouds of death hanging over their hearts.
The team leaders and mentors watching the battle were the same. They were terrified and didn't dare to look at the Void Heroes on the field, avoiding their pleading gazes. They never thought that sending the disciples to snipe the coming-of-age ceremony would be sending them to their deaths. More than five hundred people … more than five hundred elites, were buried just like that?
They thought of Tang Shidao's previous request.
Was this on purpose?
He knew that he would definitely win, even if it was one against five hundred.
On the other side.
Lan Dao, Long Xiao, and the others also frowned, including the mentors of the Old Demon Academy and the hidden eccentric. Other than people at Old Man Yi's level, no one thought of a way to resist the Great Withering Spell. The only way to win now was to forcefully seal Tang Shidao with ten times the power, or completely kill him. Otherwise, the more than five hundred people in the field had no chance of surviving.
Forcefully sealing or killing him was easy to think about, but difficult to do.
If it was in the arena.
There were rules.
One death meant elimination, and more than five hundred people could easily win. But this was a real battle without rules. Under the influence of the Great Withering Spell, the advantage that the Void Heroes wanted the most became a disadvantage.
At this time, the leader wanted to negotiate.
"I won't be merciful." Tang Shidao said, interrupting the leader who was about to speak. "You've sniped the newcomers of the Sorcerer Network many times, right? You haven't been merciful even once, right? I'm not interested in what you have to say, and I don't care about your threats. I have no objections to you saying that you will definitely find me for revenge in the future, and I welcome you to do so. In short, this group of people must die. By the way, the next time someone provokes me, I can still kill and destroy without mercy. "
"Don't be too arrogant, First Saint, do you want to go against the Void?" The leader's face was as black as ink.
"First, you can't represent the Void. Even if you're one of the Eight Emperors, you only represent one side, not to mention that you're not. Second, when did I say that I was merciful? You signed a life and death contract with me, which means that you want to kill me. Do you want to deliberately lose to me and die by my hands? Since you want to kill me, how can I forgive those who want to kill me? Speaking of going against me, if I let you go this time, will you let me go next time when you have the advantage? No, you can kill if you want. "
"Let's make a deal. These are more than 500 heroes, talents that we spent a lot of effort to cultivate. "The leader seemed to take a step back, but his arrogance didn't change.
"See, you still have the mentality of 'we're the fortune-teller, you don't'. Sorry, I refuse. Let me remind you, the 'tragedy' you saw hasn't started yet. The real despair won't start for a while. "Tang Shidao finished and didn't look at the outside world anymore.
At this time, the rune array was already in chaos.
Some people attacked.
Some retreated.
Unexpectedly, at this last moment, the heroes didn't work together, and there were still many internal conflicts. The Shadow of the Next didn't resist much, and was killed dozens of times, but was reborn safely every time. The attackers were consuming more and more energy, and the situation was getting worse. With the influence of the Spirit Tremor, the conflict began.
The monsters of the Western Void slowly went crazy.
The energy furnace of the Eastern Void's golem was dismantled, leaving an extra energy source for the golem.
The runemasters of the Northern Void stopped casting and waited quietly.
The Southern Void … They became everyone's target … They had the mana recovery potion, and they had the chance to make a comeback. Under the influence of the Spirit Tremor, the heroes of the Northern Void started to crave for 'food' like starving victims. Unknowingly, the three sides started to view the potioneers who secretly kept the mana recovery potion. Similarly, the potioneers didn't bring too many mana recovery potions, and they were holding on tightly to this last life-saving food.
At this time, despair hadn't started yet.
The Shadow of the Next waved his hand and cast a spell to make all the monsters of the Western Void go crazy. The heroes of the Northern Void had no choice but to fight.
"Keep watching!"
The leaders and mentors didn't want to watch, but a voice stopped them.
Old Man Yi.
One of the Eight Emperors.
He stopped those who wanted to leave and said, "If you dare to leave now, the Mechanical Emperor, Medicine Emperor, Beast Emperor, and Talisman Emperor will kill you. Watch every scene, read every paragraph clearly, and then report it to your superiors word for word. Remember, this is the Void. Don't be surprised if anything happens here. If you don't even have the guts to watch, then you don't have the right to stay in the Void. "
The team leader and the mentors stopped in their tracks. They knew that it was reasonable, so they turned around to watch the battle.
At this time …
The monsters going crazy was only the first mess. After a round of exhaustion, the Shadow of the Next summoned the Divine Winged Crowmen. Like a cat catching a mouse, he exhausted the energy of the Northern Void Heroes' artifacts again. At this point, the potioneers of the Southern Void had almost become everyone's enemy … They were still holding on to the mana recovery potion.
"Hand over the potion."
"Your energy furnace can still be used."
"We want the potion."
"The potion is exhausted here. The potion's effect is less than half."
"We need magic power. Without magic power, we will die."
"This is not our fault. The monsters of the Western Void attacked you first."
They started arguing.
At this moment, everyone outside the battlefield saw a group of half-crazy people with 'red eyes'. Although they weren't all crazy, they had the wrong target. The opponent was Tang Shidao, but they were ready to attack their own people. Now, there was the effect of Mental Tremor, but more of it was the expansion of 'selfishness'.
Other than seeing the First Saint's horrifying means, they also saw something else: the test of adversity.
Obviously … the Northern Void Heroes couldn't withstand the test.
The argument escalated.
The battle began.
Tang Shidao became a bystander, and a group of 'allies' became enemies. They fought desperately for the mana recovery potions that they usually disdained. At this time, only a few people controlled themselves and retreated to the edge, not participating in the fight. The team leaders and mentors also remembered their faces.
The fight was fierce. They fought until only one of them was left.
At the last stage, the mana recovery potions they obtained could not recover even one ten-thousandth of their energy.
At this time.
The half-crazy Northern Void Heroes no longer attacked. Instead, they fled as fast as they could when they saw the Shadow of the Next, like ordinary people who saw a pack of tigers and wolves. In the end, everyone quietly shrank in fear. The Shadow of the Next didn't let them be quiet for too long. He cast the Hunger Spell, and the Northern Void Heroes, who had been scared into retreating, moved again. They didn't cast spells to dispel the spell. Instead, they rushed to the corpses of the monsters and tore off their flesh and blood to devour.
The people outside the battlefield couldn't believe that after their magic power was exhausted, the lofty Saint Realm tyrants were fighting for food like unintelligent savages.
Time passed slowly.
In fact, it didn't take long. The Shadow of the Next continued to cast the Hunger Spell, and the Northern Void Heroes targeted another type of food: the dead Northern Void Heroes!
Seeing this tragic situation of fighting for food, the team leaders and mentors felt a chill run down their spines.
The remaining people on the battlefield couldn't even be described as hungry ghosts from hell. After eating the corpses, they attacked their companions who were still alive. The only consolation was that there were a dozen people who persisted until the end. When they saw their companions pounce on them and bite them, they used the last of their magic power to kill themselves and turn them into ashes.
In the end, there were only two people left on the battlefield.
After exhausting their magic power, they died at the same time. Before they died, they still tore at each other's flesh and blood. They were even more terrifying than zombies.
One side was completely wiped out.
The contract was broken.
"Remember those few and find a way to revive them. We don't need the rest." The team leaders were clearly dozens or even hundreds of times stronger, but they didn't dare to look Tang Shidao in the eye. That feeling … The First Saint who walked out of the talisman array was like a demon from the deepest part of hell. There was a chill that could be felt even from a distance.
They vaguely felt that if they met Tang Shidao again in the future, they would be afraid.
