As the dark space froze, over 20 magic arrays suddenly appeared in the cloudy sky. These magic arrays covered the entire sky and gradually illuminated the area.
Due to these magic arrays' appearance, the intensity of the magic arrays' auras increased rapidly. Even the various dark adventurer teams and Guilds' members, who were surveying the area, felt their bodies grow heavier.
Along with the intensification of the heavy feeling, the expressions on everyone's faces could not help but become frightened.
"What's going on? Why can't I move? "
"What did Hei Yan do?"
Very quickly, everyone discovered that they couldn't even lift a finger, much less move. It was as if time had frozen. Moreover, they weren't the only ones affected. Even the Orc army fell silent, with some Orcs even half-kneeling on the ground.
Following which, the sky shattered, and a gigantic black hole appeared. Inside the black hole, one could vaguely see a burning eye. This eye was as large as a mountain.
Due to this eye's appearance, the pressure on the space around them intensified. Every Orc, including the Mythic ranked Orc General, collapsed to the ground, their bodies trembling, fear filling their eyes.
"What is that?!"
"It's over! We're dead for sure!"
"Damn it! This must be Hei Yan's trap! We've fallen for it! "
When the dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds' members looked at the gigantic eye, they could feel death and destruction looming over them. Before this power, they were no more than ants.
They could clearly sense that, so long as the eye wished, it could kill them with its aura alone. It wouldn't even need to take action.
At this moment, the various dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds' members regretted their decision.
As everyone felt the fear of death, the gigantic eye disappeared. Following which, streaks of fire descended from the black hole, bombarding the Orc army like meteors.
Boom … Boom … Boom …
A series of explosions reverberated throughout the entire space. The ground shook violently, making it hard for people to stand still.
The flames continued to descend for six seconds, turning the Orc army's location into a fiery hell. The Chieftain ranked Orcs were annihilated, while the Lord ranked Orcs were heavily injured.
This scene made the several thousand dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds' members gasp.
Just this one attack had halved the orc army's numbers.
However, before anyone could gasp in shock at the frightening power of these attacks, the descending streaks of fire transformed into Flame Giants. There were over a hundred of these Flame Giants, and the weakest of these Flame Giants was a Level 80 High Lord, while the strongest was a Level 82 Grand Lord. There were a total of five of these Flame Giants.
"Is Vulcan's Aria really that powerful?" Shifeng was shocked when he saw the Flame Giant.
He had thought that summoning a single Grand Lord would be impressive. He hadn't expected the Vulcan's Sigh to cause large-scale destruction and summon a flaming legion.
As for summoning a Mythic monster, he had never thought of doing such a thing.
After all, Mythic ranked monsters were not easy to summon. Normally, one would have to pay a massive price to summon them. 1,000 Magic Crystals were far from enough.
Meanwhile, the Vulcan's Aria had reduced the Magic Scroll's Durability by half. In other words, the Vulcan's Aria was a two-use continuous-use Magic Scroll. Moreover, it had a two-day Cooldown. It couldn't be used consecutively.
However, Shifeng was very satisfied with this outcome. Although continuous-use Magic Scrolls could be used four to six times, they were far less effective than the Vulcan's Aria.
With the appearance of the flame legion, the Orc army's formation was instantly disrupted. The Grand Lord ranked Flame Giant was over 20 meters tall. With a single slap, it sent over a dozen Orcs flying. In terms of Strength, even a Grand Lord ranked Orc Warrior wouldn't be able to stop the Flame Giant. It would take 40 to 50 Orcs working together to contend with the Flame Giant.
For a time, the five Flame Giants and the other Great Lord and High Lord ranked Flame Giants actually managed to fight the Orc army to a standstill.
The battle between the Flame Giants and the Orcs was earth-shattering. Sounds of battle and explosions echoed throughout the desolate plains, stupefying the distant dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds.
Although both sides were outnumbered, the intensity of this battle far exceeded that of a Guild War involving tens of thousands of players. The two sides were on completely different levels. If players were caught in the crossfire between the Orcs and Flame Giants, they'd most likely turn to ash.
Meanwhile, while the Orc army and the flaming legion clashed, Shifeng led the NPC mercenaries to circle around the Orc army's fortress.
This battle wasn't to annihilate the Orc army and occupy the fortress. Rather, it was to set up a magic array inside the fortress. Moreover, Shifeng didn't think he had a chance of defeating the Orc army.
After all, there was a Mythic ranked Orc General among the Orc army. Although the Flame Giants were powerful, they were still suppressed by Mythic monsters. Not to mention, the flaming legion had so few members. It was only a matter of time before the Orc army was annihilated.
When the Flame Giants were less than 500 yards away from the fortress, the Level 80 Orc General noticed Shifeng's group. Suddenly, it bellowed and brandished its greatsword. A chilling beam of light shot forward, instantly sending the Grand Lord ranked Flame Giant in its way flying. A layer of ice also formed on the ground around the fortress.
Following which, the Orc General led a group of subordinates along the frozen ground and blocked the path to the fortress's entrance. At the same time, the rest of the Orcs charged forward in a frenzy.
"Sure enough, you won't let me through so easily, huh?" Shifeng asked Anna, who stood beside him, after seeing the Orc General blocking his path. "Do it!"
Anna nodded. She then began to chant an incantation as she approached the Orc General.
When less than 100 yards separated the two sides, Anna finished her incantation and waved her staff at the Orc General.
Immediately, a Level 85, Tier 4 Valkyrie descended from the sky.
Using Advanced Instantaneous Movement, the Valkyrie appeared before the Orc General and swung her lightning spear.
Boom!
Before the Orc General and the dozen or so Great Lord ranked Orcs around it could react, the Valkyrie's attack sent them flying over 100 yards away. The Valkyrie's frightening Strength even shattered the ground where the Valkyrie had passed.
"Good!"
After seeing the Orc General get sent flying, Shifeng led his team into the fortress. He then had the NPCs guard the entrance while he made his way to the location where the magic array was set up.
The fortress's entrance wasn't particularly large. Twenty-plus NPCs were more than enough to block the entrance. The fortress's walls were enchanted with magic runes. Even Mythic monsters couldn't pass through them. They had to either destroy the walls or enter the fortress through the main entrance. However, destroying the fortress's walls was extremely difficult. Even Tier 4 Mythic monsters would need a long time to destroy them. By that time, the battle would've long since ended.
Hence, they only needed to guard the entrance.
Very quickly, Shifeng found the location where the magic array was set up. He then took out a crystal and began to engrave the magic array.
Time passed quickly. More and more Orcs charged into the fortress, continuously attacking the entrance. The Tier 2 NPCs died one after another. Only the Tier 3 NPCs could barely hold off the Grand Lord ranked Orc Generals. As for the Valkyrie outside the fortress, she frantically attacked the Orc General, trying her best to injure it. The Orc General, on the other hand, was helpless against the Orc General.
Although the Orc General was a Level 80, Tier 4 NPC, the Valkyrie was a Level 85, Tier 4 NPC. Not only was there a difference in levels, but there was also a massive difference in Life Ratings. The Orc General couldn't retaliate at all. Just blocking the Valkyrie's attacks was extremely taxing.
Even so, the Valkyrie sent the Orc flying from time to time.
This scene stupefied the spectating Dark Guilds and Dark Adventurer Teams.
At this moment, the various commanders and upper echelons of the various dark adventurer teams and Dark Guilds wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads. They inwardly celebrated the fact that they hadn't been in a hurry to attack the Shifeng. Otherwise, the consequences would've been unimaginable.
Meanwhile, after the Valkyrie's disappearance, the Orc General was heavily injured, its combat power greatly reduced. Now, it was only slightly more powerful than an ordinary Grand Lord ranked Orc General.
"Quick! Quick! " The Shifeng increased the speed at which he engraved the magic array when he saw the Orc General continue to attack the entrance.
Twenty seconds … Forty seconds … Sixty seconds …
With the Orc General's appearance, the number of NPC mercenaries decreased sharply. In just 60 seconds, the Orc General had killed over a dozen Tier 2 NPCs, and heavily injured one Tier 3 NPC.
When less than 30 NPC mercenaries remained, the Orc General finally used its ultimate move and charged into the fortress. When it saw the Shifeng engraving the magic array, it was enraged.
The Orc General brandished its greatsword at the Shifeng.
Suddenly, a chilling light descended on the Shifeng, freezing everything in its path.
While engraving the magic array, players couldn't move. Hence, the Shifeng had no choice but to activate Absolute Defense. After the chilling light passed, aside from the Shifeng's position, everything else was frozen.
This enraged the Orc General even more. It charged up to the Shifeng and brandished its greatsword.
Although the Orc General's greatsword destroyed the ground, it failed to harm the Shifeng in the slightest. However, the Shifeng grew anxious.
Just as Absolute Defense's duration was about to end …
Suddenly, the crystal in the Shifeng's hands lit up. The magic array was complete.
"Go!" The Shifeng fused the crystal into the ground.
As the crystal fused with the ground, a magic array appeared. Without hesitation, the Shifeng activated Heavenly Dragon's Power, his Strength skyrocketing. He then swung his greatsword at the Orc General.
"Scram!" The Shifeng swung Killing Ray at the Orc General.
Lightning Slash!
A blue lightning bolt streaked across the Orc General's body. The heavily injured Orc General's eyes widened in shock. Like a cannonball, the Orc General flew backward and slammed into a nearby wall, shattering it.
During this time, Anna had the ten Rock Guardians form a magic array around the Orc General. Meanwhile, the Shifeng took out some crystals and began to complete the magic array.
The Shifeng had long since familiarized himself with this task. In just a dozen or so seconds, the Orc General completed the magic array.
As the magic array was completed, light-blue ripples spread out from the magic array.
