Chapter 142 – The End of a Hero (2/2)

“Aowuuuu!” the colossal turtle again roared angrily when it approached the Kingdom of Darkness. A large, earthy yellow light screen suddenly appeared and enveloped it. Then, the turtle directly entered the Kingdom of Darkness just like that.

The earthy yellow screen tangled with the Kingdom of Darkness and easily offset the latter’s damage.

“What is that?”

“Oh, Heavens! That’s the Black Tortoise Nation. The City Lord has borrowed power from Black Tortoise City to screen it!” Drucker shouted.

“Ignore the lightning dragon, enter the Black Tortoise Nation and focus all your attacks on Lei Ting!” Libya shouted a command.

With the giant turtle and high-ranked generals joining the fray, Purple Bell and TenStepOneKill felt their burden lessened, and their attacks started to become smoother. Moreover, the Kingdom of Darkness’s effect on Lei Ting’s defense had significantly decreased under the Black Tortoise Nation’s restraint.

“Attack, attack!”

Some guilds began to assemble their long-ranged attackers and began to execute their long-ranged skills. The experience gained from killing a Celestial boss would be enormous. So naturally, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

The Kingdom of Darkness counteracted the majority of long-ranged skills cast, but the rest still poured onto Lei Ting and wiped out a bit of his health. Although it wasn’t much, they won in numbers and dealt more damage than Purple Bell and TenStepOneKill combined.

Unfortunately, some attacks landed on the two players and caused some damage. The Yin Yang Fish was fading much more quickly, making TenStepOneKill so angry that he constantly cursed.

Puff puff.

Two whiffs of black smoke emerged near Lei Ting, revealing two players holding daggers right next to the Hellfire Stallion. They attacked in sync then simultaneously disappeared without a trace. Right after that, two people appeared outside and frantically chugged down red potions. Just now, they were that close to death after staying in the Kingdom of Darkness for a mere blink of an eye.

A pure green light flashed above Lei Ting’s head. Surprisingly, they managed to poison him.

Rumble!

The lightning dragon suddenly shook its body which was over three hundred meters in size. Then, it roared in the direction of the players, “Thunderbolt!”

Countless lightning bolts struck down and crushed one batch of players after another.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone. The lightning dragon can only appear for a limited time. It’ll be gone very soon,” Jijilu called out.

“When it disappears, Lei Ting will have fully absorbed the dark power. At that time, he’ll be alive and kicking, and we’ll all be done,” Fatty mumbled to himself. Most players here were well aware that they were in a race against time.

“Secluded space coordinate? So the key is in your hand,” a voice suddenly rang out from behind Fatty.

Fatty was startled. He quickly turned around and unexpectedly saw City Lord Lin Xi.

“You, how did you come in here?” Didn’t it say only the owner could enter?

“While a divine item is good, it still depends on the user, let alone mere remains of it,” Lin Xi calmly stated as he observed the situation outside through the space barrier.

“If you already arrived, why haven’t you made your move?”

Lin Xi was the most formidable NPC that Fatty had ever met. Fatty believed that Lei Ting was most assuredly not a match for Lin Xi.

“Black Tortoise City has been calm for too long. The army needs some practice,” Lin Xi’s tone was indifferent.

That many people died already, and he said it’s for “some practice.” What a callous fox. Fatty secretly cursed.

As the battle unfolded, the situation took a turn for the better. After slaughtering several tens of thousands of people, the lightning dragon finally reached its time limit. It diffused into a sea of lightning, which killed several thousand people before completely vanishing.

Free from the dragon’s threat, everyone felt liberated and were able to face Lei Ting much easier. The constant puffs of black air from Lei Ting’s body supplemented the Kingdom of Darkness while also healing himself. Despite this, it wasn’t that easy for one person to recover from the damage dealt by several tens of thousands of players at once.

As time passed, Lei Ting’s health was nearing its bottom, signaling the end of his life.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, TenStepOneKill took one step further into the Black Tortoise Nation. At the same time, he pointed a finger to retrieve his Yin Yang Manual.

The Yin Yang Fish was naturally dissipated when TenStepOneKill’s Manual disappeared. However, Purple Bell had been entirely wary against him the whole time. As soon as the diagram disappeared, a teleportation portal appeared before her. She stepped in and teleported directly outside the Kingdom of Darkness.

“Bell, the boss is about to die soon. Why did you come out?” Wind God’s World shouted urgently.

“The problem is not how to kill the boss and get the drops. It’s how to survive,” Purple Bell was unruffled. “As for the Guild Establishment Token, there’s no need to feel anxious. Let’s wait for news from Big Brother Fatty.”

As if verifying Purple Bell’s statement, the attacks about to land upon Lei Ting suddenly moved in unison. They struck the nearest players around Lei Ting, sending the site into a complete and utter mess.

“Kill! Get the drops!”

Screams and shouts rang out one after another. Several hundreds of thousands of people were boiling with excitement. They disregarded everything to rush toward Lei Ting.

“It’s about time,” Fatty muttered to himself. Seeing that Lin Xi didn’t react at all, he opened the secluded dimension and stepped out.
