Gilbert stood quietly in the Guild Hall with his eyes tightly shut. His three-meter-tall body was something even the other NPCs could not compare to. He was like a guardian deity, preventing any enemy from approaching the Guild Flag.
Is this the Hero the Guild Leader mentioned? Shiuse Qiangwei was slightly surprised as he looked at Gilbert. What a powerful aura!
Although the Tier 3 NPCs she had seen before were also frighteningly powerful, they had not given off such a suffocating pressure.
It was as if she were facing a primordial beast instead of an NPC.
Damn it! Why does the Ling YI Society have a Tier 3 NPC guarding it?!
Abandoned Wave's expression was indescribably cold as he watched Gilbert through the Evil Demon's perspective.
To prevent the Tier 3 NPCs from coming to help defend the Guild Flag, he had mobilized all of the surviving Grand Lord ranked Evil Beasts to pin them down. He had also sent several Great Lord ranked Evil Demons to wait for an opportunity to strike.
This was the reason why the 30 Tier 3 NPCs had been stopped in their tracks.
He had never thought that the Ling YI Society would still have such a trump card hidden up their sleeves, allowing Stone Forest Town to catch a breather.
Even Tier 2 NPCs, who were skilled in melee combat, could not stop a Lord ranked Evil Demon, much less current players. Most likely, only peak experts with Berserk Skills could contend with the Evil Demons. However, it was impossible to stop a Lord ranked Evil Demon from attacking the Guild Flag.
Only a Tier 3 melee NPC could completely suppress a Lord ranked Evil Demon.
One hit!
Only one hit was needed.
The Guild Flag would be destroyed, and Stone Forest Town would become a monster town.
"Struggling at death's door! If 30 Tier 3 NPCs worked together to defend the Guild Flag, we might have to put in a lot of effort. However, if you think you can defend the Guild Flag with just one Tier 3 NPC, you're overestimating yourself! "Abandoned Wave sneered. He then controlled the dark-gray crystal ball in his hand and began chanting an incantation.
Suddenly, over a dozen figures hidden within the monster army dashed out, leaving behind afterimages.
By the time Ling Yi's members noticed them, the dozen or so figures had broken through the blockade and appeared around the Guild Hall. They then broke through the walls and charged towards the Guild Flag.
These figures were none other than Evil Demons. However, unlike the Evil Demons that had attacked the Guild Flag, this group was much stronger.
"Not good! There are Great Lord ranked Evil Demons hiding inside! We need to stop them!" Shiuse Qiangwei, who stood guard inside the hall, hurriedly activated Power of Darkness and used the Tier 1 Skill, Shadow Vine.
Suddenly, hundreds of green vines emerged from beneath Shiuse Qiangwei's feet, transforming into black shadows that rushed towards the demons.
"Useless struggle!" Abandoned Wave said disdainfully.
These sixteen Evil Demons were the strongest force remaining. Among them, eleven were High Lords, and five were Great Lords. Even a group of Tier 3 NPCs would struggle against such a force, not to mention a Tier 1 Cursemancer like Shiuse Qiangwei.
The Shadow Vines that came to bind him were all dodged. They couldn't even touch him.
"What fast reaction speed!" Shiuse Qiangwei was similarly surprised.
She had aimed her Shadow Vines at the Evil Demons' blind spots. However, as if the Evil Demons had anticipated her attack, not only did they perfectly avoid her binding, but they also closed the distance between them.
"End this!"
Through the Evil Demons' eyes, Abandoned Wave could already see the light of victory when he saw the Guild Flag less than 30 yards away.
With 16 High Lord ranked Evil Demons attacking the Guild Flag from multiple directions, even two or three Tier 3 melee NPCs working together would not be enough to stop them.
"Is it over?" Shiuse Qiangwei's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction as he watched the Evil Demons approach the Guild Flag.
He had gone to great lengths to develop Stone Forest Town to its current state, yet it was now gone …
In the next moment, the 16 Evil Demons closed the distance between them and the Guild Flag.
Twenty yards … Fifteen yards …
The attacks of the players inside the Guild Hall were utterly useless. The Evil Demons couldn't even be bothered to dodge the attacks. They only focused on attacking the Guild Flag.
When less than 10 yards separated the Evil Demons from the Guild Hall, Gilbert, who had his eyes closed all this time, abruptly opened them. He then let out a deafening roar. Even the players outside the Guild Hall could hear his roar clearly.
Meanwhile, the 16 Evil Demons involuntarily shifted their gazes towards Gilbert. At this moment, it was as if Gilbert was the only existence in the world, and nothing else existed.
This was the Tier 3 Legacy Skill of the Barbarian class, Wild Roar!
Unlike other Taunt Skills, it was similar to a Domain Skill. The only enemy within the Domain was Gilbert. At the same time, due to the intimidating effect of the sound, all enemies within the Domain would have their Movement Speed reduced by 50%. Regardless of whether it was their Attack Speed, Movement Speed, or reaction speed, it could be said to be a killer move.
After activating Wild Roar, Gilbert unsheathed the massive, crimson greatsword he had stabbed into the ground. He then lightly swung the greatsword at the 16 Evil Demons.
At this moment, Gilbert's attack speed seemed extremely slow from afar. However, if one were to observe carefully, they would discover that this was not because Gilbert's attack speed was slow. Instead, it was because Gilbert's attack speed was too fast and too smooth, resulting in an illusion.
As a red light flashed, the 16 Evil Demons tried to block or dodge the attack. However, as if their bodies were made of wood, they could only watch as the red light landed on their bodies.
Tier 3 Legacy Skill, Wild Blade.
Although the red light was only a normal slash, it rendered the surrounding enemies immobile. The red light was so powerful that it left behind pitch-black cracks wherever it passed. It was as if space itself had been sliced apart.
After the red light landed, the 16 Evil Demons left behind afterimages as they flew out of the Guild Hall like cannonballs.
The High Lord ranked Evil Demons instantly lost over one-third of their HPs. The powerful destructive power of the red light caused everyone present to gasp.
"Too strong! That attack's power is probably close to that of a Tier 4 NPC! "Shiuse Qiangwei stared at Gilbert in disbelief.
Even a Tier 3 NPC could barely tank a Great Lord ranked Evil Demon in a one-on-one fight. Two Tier 3 NPCs were needed to suppress a Great Lord ranked Evil Demon. Yet, Gilbert had sent five Great Lord ranked Evil Demons flying instantly. This was simply unbelievable.
"He blocked it! How is this possible?! How can there be such a powerful Tier 3 NPC?! "Abandoned Wave's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he saw this scene.
Through the Evil Demons' perspective, he could see the speed and power of Gilbert's greatsword clearly. Not to mention dodging, even blocking the attack was impossible. Compared to the previous Tier 3 NPC, Gilbert was on a completely different level.
Before Abandoned Wave could react, Gilbert took a step forward, disappearing from his original position in the blink of an eye. Immediately after, he appeared before a Great Lord ranked Evil Demon. Before Abandoned Wave realized it, the greatsword in his hand had already pierced through the Evil Demon's body. Only then did the Evil Demon react and use its claws to block the attack …
Gilbert's Strength was overwhelming.
As for the other Evil Demons, due to Berserk Howl's effects, they could not attack the Guild Flag at all.
As time passed, although there were still many monsters entering the Guild Hall, due to Berserk Howl's effects, they had no choice but to fight Gilbert. However, not only was Gilbert terrifyingly powerful, but he also had a Tier 2 NPC Cleric healing him from the side. These monsters posed no threat to Gilbert at all.
Shifeng was not surprised by this situation in the slightest.
Heroes were NPCs that the various large Guilds fought over and were even willing to spend astronomical prices to purchase. Naturally, they had their unique characteristics. Towns and cities protected by Heroes were rarely captured.
Meanwhile, in terms of Basic Attributes, a Tier 3 Hero was not the slightest bit inferior to an Archaic Species of the same level. Their combat standards were also many times stronger than ordinary experts in God's Domain. In addition, they possessed all Legacy Skills. Hence, they were the most suitable NPCs to defend a Guild Residence.
In the next moment, the number of Evil Beasts and Evil Demons rapidly decreased.
"Did we lose?" Abandoned Wave's gaze turned complicated as he stared at the dwindling number of servants.
Currently, both the Evil Beast army and the Evil Demon army's strongest combatants had been nearly depleted. At this moment, even without NPCs, the Ling YI Society's members had a very high chance of stopping the Evil Demon army. Not to mention, there was also the powerful Gilbert and a large number of other Tier 3 NPCs.
"So, this is the Ling YI Society? Isn't this town's defense a little too powerful?! Despite having such a powerful monster army, they still failed to capture Stone Forest Town. With this, which Guild can shake it? "
Everyone was indescribably astonished as they watched the dwindling number of monsters.
After this battle, most likely, no Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom would dare to target Stone Forest Town. Meanwhile, Stone Forest Town would enter a new era.
"Ling Yi sure is ruthless. You actually managed to stop this. However, don't celebrate too early. Even if these Evil Beasts and Evil Demons are gone, I can still create more. However, you guys won't be so lucky next time." Abandoned Wave knew that the situation was hopeless. However, he was confident that, given enough time, he could create a monster army several times stronger than the current one. Meanwhile, as long as the Ling YI Society lost Stone Forest Town, it would be reduced to a second-rate existence. "Flame Blood, I'm afraid that your Sky Burial Society will be busy for some time."
"Relax. Although there aren't many resources left in Star-Moon City, the other cities and kingdoms have plenty of resources," Flame Blood said, smiling. Although the Ling YI Society's performance had been shocking, Abandoned Wave, who hid in the shadows and could create an army of Evil Beasts and Evil Demons at will, possessed an unparalleled advantage. The Ling YI Society simply couldn't compare to the Ling YI Society.
This time, Abandoned Wave hadn't fully understood the Ling YI Society, so he hadn't made enough preparations. However, things would be different next time.
Following which, Abandoned Wave and Flame Blood turned and left.
Meanwhile, in Stone Forest Town's central Magic Tower, the Shifeng quietly watched the image displayed on a gigantic crystal ball, the corners of his lips curling up slightly.
"We've finally found him. An Evil God's Envoy?" Shi Feng looked at the Magic Tower's display of Abandoned Wave's Black Cloak and bandaged body. No, the Evil Energy around him is so faint. The Evil God's Envoy is blessed by the Evil God. Even if he has a treasure suppressing the Evil Energy, it shouldn't be so faint. Is he an Evil God Apostle developed by the Evil God's Envoy? Forget it. I'll just take a look myself. "
