As the towering pillar of fire dissipated, the ground beneath the snow-covered plains was charred black. Even players standing over 30 yards away could feel the scorching heat.
Everything within a 70-by-70-yard radius had turned into a lava hell.
Aside from the weapons and equipment that had fallen, nothing else remained …
"A large-scale destruction Spell?" Autumn Changes's complexion turned indescribably pale as he stared at the lava hell.
Although he had spread his team out, such a large-scale destruction Spell had still killed over 300 players. That was one-tenth of the team's total …
These players were Hekati's elites and experts. This was the first time the Guild had suffered such heavy losses since the war with the Centurion Dynasty in Cold Wind City. They would have to spend a lot of resources to recoup this loss. He would also have to bear a heavy responsibility for this loss.
"Die! I want every one of them dead! "Autumn Changes bellowed as he turned to look at the Shifeng, who had cast the Spell.
At this moment, he had no choice but to use the Asura Adventurers' blood to pay for this loss. Otherwise, the Guild would punish him severely.
Meanwhile, Hekati's members had recovered from their shock of seeing Flame Domain. Although they were slightly afraid of the Shifeng's group, they still had over 2,600 players on their side. With only 60 Asura Adventurers players, how could they possibly stop them?
Like ravenous wolves, these players pounced on the Asura Adventurers' members.
Although Hecate's members were like hungry wolves, it was clear that they were well-trained. They were also very familiar with group PvP. Instead of swarming towards Shi Feng's group, Hecate's members split into several dozen parties. For example, each 50-man party would take on one of Shi Feng's group. This way, the MTs would pin down Shi Feng's group, while the melee and ranged classes would take advantage of the opportunity to launch sneak attacks and restrict Shi Feng's group. Meanwhile, the healers would heal the MTs.
Meanwhile, Feng Ran and the others wore grim expressions as they watched the several thousand elite players surround them.
Although they had fought many small-scale team battles before, this was the first time they had faced a large-scale battle with over a thousand players. When he saw the dense crowd of players charging at him in an orderly fashion, he nearly suffocated from the stifling pressure.
Hecate's numerical advantage was dozens of times greater than Zero Wing's. This overwhelming advantage wasn't something Shi Feng could change with a single large-scale destruction Spell.
"The Asura Adventurers are finished."
"What can they do? Hekati is Cold Wind City's overlord. How can a mere adventurer team contend with them?"
The independent players, who were about to leave the valley, sighed ruefully as they watched the battle.
This was the massive difference between Guilds and adventurer teams!
No matter how powerful an adventurer team was, it might be able to go up against ordinary Guilds like Cold Wind City's Centurion Dynasty or Matchless Family. However, against a large Guild like Hekati, a thousand-man adventurer team was a joke.
As Hekati's army approached the Shifeng's group in an orderly fashion, Lifeless Thorn and Solitary Nine exchanged glances and smiled at Xiang Shifeng.
"Commander, you'd better not fight with us later. This is a rare opportunity to display the fruits of our labor. If we miss this opportunity, it'll be very difficult to get another chance," Lifeless Thorn said.
"That's right! Commander, if you take action, we won't have a chance to play, "Cleansing Whistle said, nodding deeply as she walked over.
The others also nodded in agreement.
They were very familiar with Shifeng's strength. After participating in the contest on Thunder Island, they realized just how big the world was.
The people on Thunder Island were experts among experts. Even Refinement Realm experts were common, yet Shifeng was still capable of slaughtering such experts. A measly army of several thousand elite players was not even worth a mention.
Now that they had completed their Tier 2 Promotion Quests, they had yet to test their skills. A team battle with several thousand players was the best training ground for them.
"Alright, I won't take the initiative to charge into the fray. However, you'd best end this quickly. Otherwise, Feng Ran's group won't last long," Shifeng said, sighing. Originally, he had intended to show Hekati his overwhelming strength and expand the Asura Adventurers in Cold Wind City. With enough manpower, he would have a much easier time completing his quest. After all, the Soul Dissolving Flower he had collected was extremely valuable. If he had too few people, he might not be able to collect it.
"Commander, rest assured. We'll end this battle before Feng Ran's group falls," Lifeless Thorn said, licking his lips. He then turned to look at Hekati's group, his eyes glowing with excitement.
After he had gotten promoted to Tier 2, Shifeng had suddenly gathered them. He hadn't had a chance to properly experience the might of a Tier 2 class yet.
Unlike Tier 1 classes, Tier 2 players' physiques had improved significantly, which would affect their ability to use Skills and combat techniques. Players would have to undergo a large number of battles to adjust to this effect. At the same time, they would also have to find new combat methods. After all, after their physiques improved, they could now perform actions that they couldn't perform before. In other words, they had improved their combat options.
After saying so, Lifeless Thorn unsheathed his spear and charged at Hecate's army, which was over 100 yards away from him. Meanwhile, the rest of Lifeless Thorn's team split up. None of them showed any intention of working together.
"What are they trying to do?" Feng Ran nearly had a mental breakdown when he saw Lifeless Thorn and the others fighting on their own.
Why would they fight an army of 3,000 elite players in a one-on-one battle?
Meanwhile, on the other side, Autumn Drift was momentarily stunned.
"Are these people scared out of their wits?" Autumn Changes couldn't help but rub his eyes when he saw Lifeless Thorn charging at him in a straight line, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him.
They had several thousand players on their side, and every one of them was an elite Guild member or above. Even Xuan Cang wouldn't dare charge at them recklessly. Instead, they'd have to take a roundabout approach, yet Lifeless Thorn was charging at them as if he had lost his mind. Even Yama King would laugh at his foolishness.
"Good! Since they want to die so badly, I'll grant them their wish! I'll fulfill their wishes! Ranged units, get ready! Once you're within 50 yards, launch your attacks! Blast them to smithereens! "Autumn Changes commanded.
As soon as Autumn Changes gave the command, the ranged units in the rear began to chant their Incantations. Once Lifeless Thorn approached, they'd launch their attacks.
Ninety yards … Eighty yards … Sixty yards …
As soon as Lifeless Thorn was within 50 yards, Hekati's ranged units fired one Spell after another.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with Spells and arrows. Like a collapsing wall, Spells and arrows threatened to crush players at any moment.
"Just in time!"
Lifeless Thorn could not help but smile. He then brandished his spear at the countless Spells and arrows flying at him.
Tier 2 Skill, Bladestorm!
With a light swing of his spear, a storm formed around Lifeless Thorn. The violent storm acted like a wind barrier, blocking all of Hekati's Spells and arrows. None of the attacks managed to get past the barrier.
"How is this possible?" Hekati's members were stupefied when they saw Lifeless Thorn emerge unscathed.
They had never thought that Skills and Spells could be used in such a manner. Lifeless Thorn had used a Skill and Spell to cancel out Spells and Skills, turning an Offensive Skill into a Defensive Skill.
Bladestorm lasted for three seconds, giving Lifeless Thorn enough time to reach Hekati's melee units.
Immediately, eight MTs raised their shields and tried to surround Lifeless Thorn. However, Lifeless Thorn swung his spear.
Tier 1 Skill, Whirlwind Slash!
Boom!
Along with an explosion, the MTs that had charged at Lifeless Thorn were sent flying, their HPs decreasing by a significant chunk. Lifeless Thorn then took a step forward and arrived before the other melee players. His spear then transformed into over a dozen spear images. Although several melee players tried to defend themselves, the spear images struck their defensive blind spots and were so fast that they couldn't react in time. In the blink of an eye, the melee players transformed into streaks of light and disappeared.
The ranged players' attacks were completely ineffective against Lifeless Thorn. Lifeless Thorn continued to weave through the crowd, moving so quickly that the melee players couldn't keep up with him. Wherever he went, players died, one after another.
Solitary Nine and the others had also charged into the crowd. Although they weren't as ferocious as Lifeless Thorn's, they were still invincible. Every one of their Tier 2 Skills could instantly kill over a dozen players.
Although some of the attacks managed to hit Solitary Nine and the others, Solitary Nine and the others drank an Advanced Healing Potion, recovering their HPs to full.
As for the Hekati members charging at Xiang Shifeng, they suffered even more. Xiang Shifeng activated Defensive Blade, increasing his attack range by a large margin. Now, he only needed to swing his longsword. Tier 1 players had Strength that surpassed a Tier 3 Great Lord of the same level. If they failed to block an attack, they'd die on the spot. However, even if they blocked an attack, they'd be momentarily paralyzed. They wouldn't be able to block the next attack.
The difference between tiers and Attributes was clear for all to see.
The two sides were on completely different levels …
"How is this possible?" Autumn Changes stared at the scene before him, confusion filling his eyes. Just ten people had actually rendered their 3,000-man army completely helpless. "Just who are they?"
After less than a minute, Hekati's members had already lost over 800 players. Meanwhile, Lifeless Thorn's side hadn't lost a single player. The difference between the two sides' combat power was practically worlds apart.
"It's about time to end this battle." Shifeng took out the Bible of Darkness and began to chant an incantation when he saw Hekati's weakened state.
