Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 638: Chapter 571 Acquaintance Chapter 638: Chapter 571 Acquaintance Boom~

As Gandalf swung his magic wand, the entire ground in front of him was upheaved, and an entire squad of strong Orcs was slain by him.

Wielding a wand in one hand and a sword in the other, Gandalf fought like a Berserker possessed by a Celestial God, cutting down foes without equal.

Feeling a slight change within himself, Gandalf also became somewhat contemplative.

“Is this what it means to be the Chosen One…

Not too shabby.”

He looked around; by then, the Rohan cavalry had already spread out to finish off the fallen.

The battle at Arrodes had been a complete success…

…

Moments later, atop the Tower of Orthanc, Gandalf stood before a pile of flesh and remnants.

A sadness also appeared in his eyes.

From the fragments of clothing nearby, he recognized that the tragically dead man was none other than Lord Celeborn, who was also an old friend.

Maybe Celeborn had some plans of his own, but the fact that Saruman had suddenly acted against him suggested that Celeborn had not followed when Saruman moved against Gandalf.

“Ah, I never expected Saruman to turn out this way.

I wonder what he was after…”

Gandalf sighed a bit, recalling Mr.

Tao’s words that Saruman had become a Fortune Thief, able to access the same potential for enhancement.

While the increase in upper limits was not fast, it was still possible to achieve a rapid restoration of Maiar strength.

Moreover, this steady improvement could even break past his own previous limits.

The future was limitless!

With such a path available, why take such risks?

Does power really attract people that much…

“It’s also a good thing we found out early and came decisively.

Otherwise, if he had gotten stronger by slaying others, even I might have had trouble handling him.

Now, seeing the direction he fled, he’s probably going to seek out Sauron, and then we can settle the score properly.”

Tao Yu had no particular feelings for Celeborn, so he wasn’t as sentimental.

He simply used the communicator left with Celeborn’s wife to contact her and inform her about the incident.

Who knows if she would come.

“It is indeed time to settle accounts, but that icy shadow who caused the great flood has yet to appear.

Add to that Sauron and Saruman joining forces, we really need to pick up our pace…”

Gandalf felt a sense of urgency.

While Saruman was injured, it was best to take advantage of his weakened state and strike hard.

Otherwise, thinking about the number of Orcs in Mordor also put a lot of pressure on Gandalf.

In terms of numbers, these strong Orcs were certainly not as numerous as those bred over the years by the Orcs.

If Sauron and Saruman were to start a killing spree, it would undoubtedly become quite troublesome…

“Right, let’s set out after cleaning this place.

We will take the Rohan reinforcements and meet up with Gondor.

I wonder if the death of Lord Celeborn will prompt the Elves to send a great army.”

Although the Elves were few in number, the average quality of their army was arguably the highest due to their lifespan.

“It’s probably difficult; Dol Guldur also holds Mordor’s presence, and if we had time, we could take initiative against Dol Guldur first.

However, right now, I think it’s crucial to hurry…”

Gandalf had a much clearer understanding of the situation in Middle-earth.

Loslorien and Dol Guldur were across the Anduin River from each other, needing to keep a watchful eye.

And if they headed north to attack Dol Guldur now, it would drag on for too long…

“Actually, this is enough.”

Tao Yu glanced at the Rohan cavalry below the tower.

In the previous battle under Medici’s control, the casualty ratio reached one to twenty or thirty, which was exceptionally impressive against those strong, powerful Orc individuals.

Although Rohan also suffered its share of losses among the troops and horses, the remaining forces became more elite, and their trustworthiness increased, which in turn enhanced their ability to coordinate and apply combat buffs.

Their combat strength had actually become stronger!

With this force as a foundation, Tao Yu also had the confidence to challenge the gateways to Gondor and the Land of Darkness.

The Black Gate!

If a siege proved troublesome, releasing the Flame Demon was an option…@@novelbin@@

“Mr.

Tao, we’ve captured a prisoner who claims to be a Pioneer; he was imprisoned in this tower.”

Having taken Saruman’s lair, Tao Yu, of course, had his men search thoroughly to see if there were any valuable items.

Even research materials on strong Orcs would be great, at the least for breeding purposes.

Although these creatures didn’t harness much Yuan Force and definitely couldn’t rival the productivity of Aliens, they could serve as livestock to harvest Yuan Force and could also be used as slaves for mining or agricultural work.

Actually, that’s quite useful.

Orcs might be more numerous, but the fact that they couldn’t be exposed to sunlight disqualified them from working in the farms…

“`

However, before they could find their data and treasures, they stumbled upon a Pioneer first.

This left Tao Yu feeling somewhat dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected there to be another one.

Moreover, this one seemed to have been kept captive all along, which is why unlike the other three, he didn’t have anything tied around his neck, and wasn’t blown up while being taken away.

“Bring him over for a look, give the Pioneer some time and he might be able to return, give him a shove every now and then.”

Tao Yu waved his hand, signaling for the person to be brought over.

Being unable to return, it meant that the place where Saruman held captives likely had the ability to attack or even torture.

Normally, it would have been Gandalf who was imprisoned by Saruman.

Before long, Aragorn himself escorted a battered and bruised Pioneer upstairs.

“He even tried to run, quite strong he is.”

Aragorn himself looked slightly disheveled, but Boromir beside him was covered in head wounds, and Gimli’s face was a patchwork of blue and purple bruises.

Meanwhile, Medici, tasked by Tao Yu to protect Frodo, followed behind with a constant smirk on his face.

With his strength, he definitely could have stepped in to stop the fight, but for some reason, he let these few engage in a bout of player-killing, perhaps wanting to watch a fight as one would watch cricket fighting.

Tao Yu was somewhat surprised though; the members of the Fellowship of the Ring were certainly not weak.

Normally, he could only chant ‘666’ from the sidelines, acting as part of the atmosphere group, that was relative only to himself and Gandalf.

To think that a captive who had been detained for so long managed to counterattack to this extent, it somewhat demonstrated the captive’s capability.

As the ragged and unkempt Pioneer lifted his head, Tao Yu realized with surprise that it was someone he knew.

“Gant?”

This captive was none other than the leading figure among the few great young lords of the New Development Zone in former times, Gant, representing the Gan Family of the Inner City.

His family had inherited a rare Talent in the Magic System.

The Gan Family controlled the City Lord’s Mansion of the Inner City and had intricate connections with the Floating City, leading the many families of the Inner City.

Tao Yu had even fought him before.

In terms of combat style, he was somewhat similar to Gandalf—shield, scepter, enchantment, and augmentation.

Although a practitioner of the Magic System, he often went for close-combat attacks, probably because he was not good at math.

“Eight…

Mr.

Tao!”

Gant must have been hit very hard; he was dazed, but when he heard Tao Yu speak, he instantly snapped back to clarity.

Then, a trace of joy could not help but appear on his face.

“I never expected Mr.

Tao to personally arrive in this world, and it seems you have already achieved some great accomplishments, truly congratulations, I’ve heard that you’ve become a World Breaker, with this pace in our batch, you could probably keep up with those bigwigs of the Floating City…”

Gant spoke with a hint of sigh, a complex expression appearing on his swollen and bruised face.

He had dominated everyone in the New Development Zone’s Inner City in the past, monopolizing the major benefits of the Inner Power System.

Time had passed, and far from decreasing due to his family’s investment in him, the gap between them had only widened!

World Breaker!

His life’s goal was just to become a World Breaker.

With the help of his family, his strength reached the level of a Senior Partner quite early.

But he was also aware, being born into a great family, that achieving the status of World Breaker would still require a long period of grinding.

That was still within his reach, he had the opportunity to grind.

Most of the other young scions of the Inner City, who had power-leveled around the same time as him, couldn’t even manage to surpass that threshold in their lifetimes!

Yet now, the other party seemed to progress as if never encountering any bottleneck, achieving World Breaker status in just two years—a consistent and stable improvement!

In the families of the Floating City, this was considered an impressive achievement!

Apart from the two members of the Suns, the number of younger generation individuals in the New Development Zone who had become World Breakers was few and far between.

Previously facing him, he had the confidence of his family’s backing.

Even if he was weaker, he could still stand tall and hold his ground.

After being beaten to a pulp last time, he had still dared to argue a point or two.

But now, the other party was on equal terms with his own father and could converse with him on an equal footing.

If he wished, he could easily start a top-tier family in the Inner City!

Such changes and contrasts truly complicated his feelings.

But no matter how complex his emotions were, he instinctively used honorifics on the surface, maintaining sufficient etiquette…
