Chapter 666 - Once and for all (1/2)

After seeing the Lich, everyone from the Hall of the Exalted realized that they had tipped Netherclaw over and now he had shown his hand.

The Tier 6 Megaboss's Sealed Core would require a high-tier Summoner who had the skill Soul Binding completely to craft; other than that, to craft it, one would need to expend at least a hundred Mana Cores that were of the same tier. This would cost at least billions of gold coins.

Netherclaw's bet with Bruvver was a million of gold coins. Sending out the Lich would mean taking a loss even after Netherclaw won the war.

In other words, Netherclaw was now determined to take down the Hall of the Exalted.

No matter the cost!

***

To mere Tier 5 players, the Lich was as wrathful as natural disasters! It didn't matter if the opponents were Tier 5 newbies or veterans. If one were to face off this monstrosity alone, they would be facing death rather swiftly.

With over 600 points of Magic Attack stats, the Lich could kill any lone player with a point of a finger. Now, this wrathful Lich was controlled by a player. Its destructive capabilities were now infinitely multiplied.

With the aid of Netherclaw's smarts, the Lich instantly decimated all the darn enemies that were on Netherclaw's tail earlier.

One man and one monster.

Their wrath was immeasurable.

Like bombers raining hell from above the sky.

In less than twenty seconds, Shadow Magic attacks enveloped the battlefield, killing enemies everywhere they went. The Hall of the Exalted's men were not able to withstand such a devastating onslaught at all. In a blink of an eye, over 200 men had fallen on the battlefield.

Seeing the Lich's arrival and Netherclaw's counter-strike, everyone on the Netherspirit's Claw's camp had now regained their fighting spirits.

”Yeah! Blast all those Hall of the Exalted bastards back to the city!”

Over ten thousand people roared enthusiastically as they gathered their strength to give their enemies another round of scuffle.

It would seem that there was still hope for the Netherspirit's Claw's camp.

However…

The four League Leaders, who were spectating over the city walls, couldn't help but frown after seeing this.

Things weren't looking good for Netherclaw…

Indeed, Netherclaw was able to regain a few grounds with his desperate counter-strikes. Yet, the Hall of the Exalted didn't seem to be hugely affected by this–they were only slightly fazed by the counter-strikes and then regrouped in a rather short time.

In the League Leaders' eyes, even if Netherclaw was able to fight back now, it was merely a desperate attempt. When the Hall of the Exalted had fully organized and launched their assault, Netherclaw and his Lich's efforts would be all for naught.

Although the Lich was quite powerful, it was now controlled by a player–its actions and attack patterns were now fairly predictable when they know who the puppeteer was.

At least, to Qin Ruo, killing a Lich wasn't even that hard. All it took was a few capable Tier 5 Veterans… heck, he could even take on a Lich alone without breaking a sweat.

If the Lich and Netherclaw were defeated, it would not be long before Netherspirit's Claw faced its doom.

Having thought this, the four League Leaders sighed. The gap of strength between the two warring factions was quite immense. It seemed that Netherspirit's Claw indeed had suffered a lot in this ”ship-jumping crisis”.

It was then, Scarlet Bauhinia spoke.

”If Netherspirit's Claw is defeated, I suppose his League would be disbanded soon…”

Then, he glimpsed at Qin Ruo and Majestic Hero… Seeing no response from them, Scarlet Bauhinia didn't say anything further. All he could do now was to look at the desperate Netherclaw and his Lich on the battlefield.

***

And it was as expected.

In just three minutes, the Netherspirit's Claw's advantage was all but diminished by a huge ”black net” that was shot at the Lich from afar.

It was as expected of the filthy rich Hall of the Exalted. In just minutes, they were able to acquire a huge amount of Shadowmesh Arrows, and those were sent straight to the hands of their Bowmasters. In an instant, hundreds of Shadowmesh Arrows rained upon the Lich.

The Shadowmesh Arrows indeed had a low rate of success in encapsulating a Lich. However, this time they were released by hundreds of Bowmasters… the low success rate was now made insignificant by the sheer quantity of arrows raining from above…

Thus, the mighty Lich was instantly bound and trapped!

That was not all.

From the crowd that the arrows were firing from, Qin Ruo and his fellow League Leaders could see very clearly that there were Snowmelt and Dark Dragon among their ranks!

That was such a despicable tactic!

Having these two former allies take on Netherclaw would not only be highly effective in terms of tactics, seeing that they knew Netherclaw's attack patterns reasonably well, it would also be a massive blow on Netherclaw's psyche.

With the combined effort of several dozens of other Champions…

It was checkmate!

And sure enough, in seconds, Netherclaw was blasted off from the sky... at the same time, the ensnared Lich too vanished into thin air.

”These filthy bastards!”

Knocking his fist into the city walls, Black God bellowed, ”They even sent these two to spite Netherclaw! I'm not going to sit and watch anymore, gang!”

He quickly turned his furious, fuming eyes at his three fellow League Leaders.

”So, what's our plan? If you want, I can summon my men over in this instant…”

It would seem that Black God intended to aid Netherspirit's Claw in his war against the Hall of the Exalted.

Hearing this, Scarlet Bauhinia calmly replied.

”The Hall of the Exalted should never have existed in Honor and Glory in the first place.”

His words had expressed his determination in aiding Netherclaw too.
