Chapter 450 - 436: The Semi-Decayed God_3
Their idea was simple, which was to rely on the strong defense of the armor to shield against the incoming Corpse Dragon Salamanders.
The Dragon Salamanders were only thumb-sized, and as they flung themselves onto the exorcists, they quickly burrowed towards the gaps in the armor.
The exorcists remained unmoved, as the Holy Artifact's armor seemed to have many gaps, but that was just a superficial appearance; it was a "set" that came with its own domain, enveloping the entire body.
The Dragon Salamanders that crawled into the armor's gaps soon scuttled out, and the exorcists' mouths tugged into a smile. However, in the next second, their expressions changed.
The Dragon Salamanders gnawed on the outer surface of the armor, leaving two rows of bite marks, but this was just the beginning. As green liquid secreted from the mouths of the Dragon Salamanders, the armor corroded to form a small hole.
With the armor's domain breached, the Dragon Salamanders quickly infiltrated inside, and soon after, horrendous screams emanated from within the armor.
The exorcists' faces instantly turned pale as they realized that not only was the defensive power ridiculous, but the creatures could even gnaw through Holy Artifacts.
One such opponent was already troublesome enough, and the number of Corpse Dragon Salamanders surging from the seabed seemed to be endless.
"Now is not the time to give up."
A whisper suddenly sounded, soft yet eerily penetrating every person present.
One figure strode forth, standing tall like a spear, blocking the horde of Corpse Dragon Salamanders with a contemptuous stance, as if what lay before him was not a horde of deadly ancient creatures but a bunch of ants.
The masses of Corpse Dragon Salamanders instantly enveloped the figure, their grating teeth gnashing sound the only thing audible.
The flicker of hope that had risen in the exorcists' hearts was immediately snuffed out when they heard a faint voice, from the same person.
"Dark Sun!"
That voice sounded like a command, and a violet-black light emerged from within the crowd of Dragon Salamanders, a light that was not scorching, even somewhat gentle, yet its effect was unparalleled.
Not even the Storm Axe could slice through the shell of the Dragon Salamanders, yet they carbonized instantly when swept by the violet-black light, turning into dust that scattered.
Thus, "Dark Sun" was actually an intensely condensed Soul Lord's Domain.
After the compression, the scope of the domain became smaller, but the effect of the "Magic Ban" had increased several folds.
The shell of the Corpse Dragon Salamanders was so robust primarily because of "Anti-membrane," a domain-like substance overlaying the surface of the Dragon Salamanders.
Within the compressed Soul Lord's Domain, the "Anti-membrane" became ineffective, effortlessly annihilated by the divine power; Corpse Dragon Salamanders evaporated into nothingness.
Rein suddenly stopped, having prepared himself for death, ready to use his flesh to block the Corpse Dragon Salamanders, but now he was forced to retreat.
He had a premonition that if he got any closer to that violet-black sun, he would be annihilated just like those Corpse Dragon Salamanders.
"Can such power truly be wielded by a human?"
Rein even doubted whether a god could achieve this level of power.
Xu Yi was not content with just blockade; he charged toward the densest parts of the Corpse Dragon Salamanders, turning them into ashes where the Dark Sun's light reached.
The ash mingled with blood-red particles that fell into the sea, tainting the waters red.
The sea itself was then quickly evaporated by the energy emanating from Dark Sun, and a red mist spread, turning the entire area into a blood-soaked marsh.
[System Notification: Entry Devouring Triggered, Congratulations on Acquiring "Corpse Dragon Skin" x10 (Blue Rare).]
[Congratulations on Acquiring "Chomping Teeth" x30 (Green Epic)]
The system panel was flooded with notifications, dozens of messages scrolling all at once as the inventory of entries rose rapidly.
The speed of Dark Sun's killing was already beyond compare, capable of killing hundreds of Corpse Dragon Salamanders in an instant, but Xu Yi still found it too slow.
The number of Corpse Dragon Salamanders emerging from the seabed seemed endless, while the range covered by Dark Sun was extremely limited.
But this was unavoidable; to maintain the power of Dark Sun, he had to choose to compress the domain.
The Corpse Dragon Salamanders had formidable regenerative abilities, and if they couldn't be killed in one hit, they would quickly recover.
With his current efficiency, he could only block some of the Corpse Dragon Salamanders; eventually, the defensive line would be breached.
Moreover, he needed a massive amount of entries at this moment.
Whether low-level or high-level entries, all could be transformed into nutrients to nourish the "Master of Time" entry.
At this moment, the progress of the "Master of Time" had reached 2%.
"How then, can I increase the killing speed?"
Xu Yi quickly arrived at the answer; he needed a powerful weapon!
...
On the periphery of the battlefield, the crew aboard the Noting readied themselves for combat.
Due to Kayako's attack, Noting's cloaking array failed, drawing the Dark Creatures that sensed their presence swarming towards them.
Fortunately, most Dark Creatures were targeting the rescue of the Ancient God, so only a small part converged on them, which they could barely handle.
They were even more concerned about the main battlefield as Xu Yi was surrounded by Corpse Dragon Salamanders. They could only occasionally see the fleeting violet-black light, proof that Xu Yi was still alive.
Just as Ailan finished off a Dark Creature, the twin blades in his hands started to tremble.
"Pride" sang like a taut string, "anger" a Tang Sword boomed like a heavy drum; they seemed to come to life, erupting a fierce will to battle.
Ailan suddenly realized something, let go of the handles, and the two blades turned into dark golden light, flying towards the horde of Corpse Dragon Salamanders.
One after another, beams of light rose from the Noting; "Sloth" Spear, "Lust" Recurve Knife, "Greed" Dagger... "Seven Deadly Sins" felt the summons and soared into the sky.
What do you think?
