Chapter 966 - Besiege A City (2/2)
Edward and the others retaliated as well. Streams of light turned into huge cannons, mountain ranges, meteors, and blades that launched attacks toward Grade’s huge hand.
However, Grade’s palm trembled and emitted a chaotic array of colors. The huge palm seemed to have become 100 or 1,000 times heavier, emitting a series of explosive great powers.
Rumble! The atmosphere seethed, mountain ranges were torn apart and meteors were incinerated. Wherever the huge palm passed by, the attacks by Edward and the others were all shattered. A great air explosion surged into the sky, tearing through the clouds and crumbling countless towering buildings.
Edward and the others let out stifled grunts, and each of them retreated several thousand meters. To think that all of them had been injured by a single palm attack from Grade.
At the sight of this scene, Grade let out a cold laugh and shouted, “Are you still not going to surrender?”
A loud bellow that seemed to cause the world to tremble knocked out several ten thousand ordinary soldiers. When the departed spirits in the surroundings heard the bellow, they started to cry out loudly as well. Many voices merged into one until it seemed as if there was only one voice left in the world.
“Surrender!”
“Surrender!”
“Surrender!”
“Surrender!”
Sensing Grade’s power, the countenances of Edward and the others became extremely grim. “To think that he can already utilize the powers of the other armies…”
Hui He’s expression was extremely gloomy. “It’s surprising that guy actually made use of the rings’ energies from the other armies in that earlier attack. How did he do that? To think that the Black Army has such an ability?”
Priest Longmai and Akaryuu Juushirou were both quite shocked as well. Looking at the countless densely packed departed spirits above their heads, they felt that the future seemed ambiguous.
Just then, a beam of orange light pierced through the world. Reverend Fahui had resurrected and returned.
Watching Fahui return, Grade let out a cold laugh and once again returned to his seat. With a wave of his palm, he wanted to send out a myriad of departed spirits to continue besieging.
This was his strategy to besiege this city—using the great army of departed spirits to deplete the opponents’ powers and forcing Fahui to self-detonate. After Fahui self-detonated, Grade would then personally make a move to wear down the rings’ energies from Edward and the others.
With that, he did not have to personally receive Fahui’s self-detonation attack head-on, yet he could still continue to deplete his opponents’ powers.
‘I’ll wait till tonight to go all out, making a move before their rings’ energies recover. I’ll need to kill at least one of them.’ Grade narrowed his eyes. The entire battlefield was within his control.
However, at the next moment, his gaze condensed slightly. As he watched the five Commanders before him, hints of insuppressible feelings of greed flashed through his mind.
These feelings of greed were like sparks that landed onto a stretch of dried grass, instantly burning up intensely.
‘Hmph, I’ve been too careful. Even if I go all out right now, I still have 60% confidence of taking them all down. Why do I need to continue depleting their powers and wait for night to arrive?
‘Moreover, Ulpian might really return. I should eat them up as soon as possible.’
Waves of desire rose uncontrollably in his heart. Grade did not seem to realize that he had started to find excuses to convince himself.
