Chapter 155: Diablo (2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Two epic Thunder Blades gained the bonuses of an equipment set.

[Fury of Thunder: Within a radius of ten meters, every 5 seconds, 7-9 lightning strikes will occur, causing 300+ (Thunder attribute x180%) damage.]

[Prerequisite: Thunder attribute]

[Prerequisite: Activation of battle energy shield]

Wells saw that the Lord of the City of Dawn was establishing a foothold on the ramparts. He was not going to give William a chance. As an earth element shield-bearer, he leaped and emitted an orange sword energy towards William’s head.

William crossed his blades defensively to defuse the incoming sword energy. He crashed back.

Bang.

Wells braced himself with his shield while he backed up casually. He rapidly swung his sword with his right hand and gazed at William. “You’ve come alone, and yet you want to take over the ramparts?”

“Wouldn’t it be enough if I just killed you?”

William watched the players of the City of Dawn charging to their deaths. A wave of shield-bearers fell while the next wave of shield-bearers activated their battle energy shields and charged forward. But it was difficult for them to reach the ramparts.

As they braced the attacks of the catapults, their enemies could not evade the rocks as well.

Large rocks smashed upon the city, leaving only broken bodies with mangled flesh. It was a battle of brutal attrition.

The players of Iron Nation wanted to stay in the city, and let the NPCs fight with the enemy outside the city.

But the players of the Iron Nation had not kept their words…

Goethe Nasis had allowed the players to join the Iron Nation faction and even form their Chosen Ones legions. The guild leaders were conferred legion commanders but they had to obey the command of the regular legion commanders.

William glanced at Wells. His enemy was difficult to kill as Wells was an earth element shield-bearer with a tough battle energy shield, on top of already having a large number of health points.

Both of them continuously fought on the ramparts. Battle energy with a radius of tens of meters engulfed them, and nobody dared to join in their battle.

The other six epic NPCs of the Iron Nation did not assist Wells. Instead, they were patrolling the ramparts and killing any players who charged up the city walls.

Twenty players of the Grand Deity team, all of them wearing gold quality equipment set, were led by Lucky Dream. They wanted to charge up the city walls. But as they tried to do so, they encountered an epic NPC who turned back his head.

“D*mn!” Without any hesitation, Lucky Dream jumped off the walls. If he jumped, he might not be killed, but if he did not jump, he would definitely be killed.

Swish!

A sword energy brushed past.

Lucky Dream was killed in midair. Half of his team members managed to flee while the unfortunate ones were killed.

Even with their epic equipment, the players were no match for the middle-level NPCs.

The commander-in-chief Chu Liuqiu did not participate in the battle. Instead, he surveyed the battle from far. He witnessed the players transforming into white flashes on the ramparts and frowned. “The NPCs are too smart. They are treating us like cannon fodders.”

The Prosperity Millennium Club leader, Forever Alone, did not leave. He pointed at Lautner and laughed. “Prince William charged after us while the other powerful NPCs have not made their moves yet.

The recent games are getting more realistic. I heard rumors that the Gods’ game intelligence was created by the research of five large countries. Isn’t it the first time that the five large countries collaborated on research?”

“Hmm, Gods is only an experimental product of this artificial intelligence. It is to test the limits of artificial intelligence. That is why the NPCs in this game are very smart. I didn’t expect the game to be so realistic.”

Chu Liuqiu sighed and was about to speak when the cavalry at the flanks gave a warning!

The flag of the Black Lava Nation was hoisted high up.

The two legions behind them moved into their formation!

Both of them watched the flanks and discovered that the flanks of Iron Nation were attacked by four legions.

The cavalry of Black Lava Nation was engaged with the cavalry of Iron Nation.

Two Iron Nation legions charged at the Black Lava Nation’s catapults in a bid to destroy these siege weapons.

But the two Black Lava Nation’s vanguard legions charged forward, ignoring the battle that occurred near to the catapults that were at the rear.

A figure was very prominent on the battlefield.

Diablo had been standing next to the commander-in-chief of Black Lava Nation while wielding his war spear. Then he dashed into the enemy ranks like a cannon shot. He was making his way out with the speed of lightning, while leaving behind the corpses of numerous soldiers.

His spear was emitting golden light!

His left hand slammed on the ground.

Boom!

It was a metal storm!

The metal pellets within the ground were extracted, and they formed a storm that shredded tens of enemies.

Meanwhile,

An Iron Nation legion commander leaped into the air to evade the sword energy that bore down on him.

Diablo leaned back and threw out his war spear. The weapon penetrated the sword energy and lodged into the legion commander’s chest. The impact alone blew the commander tens of meters away.

At that instance,

Diablo was like a wild beast as he tore through the enemy legion. When the legion commander landed on the ground, he pulled out his war spear and pierced the legion commander’s skull before lifting it up like a victory banner.

The enemy legion collapsed instantly into disarray.

Decapitating the enemy general was the special trait of a legendary BOSS!

The players were stunned!

They stared in disbelief at Diablo. How could he be so powerful?

While William and Wells were fighting, they stole glances at Diablo.

Diablo was the real deal and the leader of the battlefield. He had a legendary bloodline, a legendary close-combat hidden occupation, and a legendary mage hidden occupation of the metal element. He possessed epic equipment and was the most powerful BOSS in version 1.0. He was on par with William.

In William’s previous life, when the Black Lava Nation was about to be defeated…

Diablo had defended the city gate alone. He fought for three hours and killed countless enemies, before Augustine took an opportunity to decapitate him.

The background of Diablo was interesting. He was not a citizen of Black Lava Nation. He was a refugee who escaped to Black Lava Nation.

On a hunting trip, Marquis Salz witnessed Diablo killing magical beasts using his bare hands. At that time, Diablo had been wearing clothes made of the skins of wild beasts. He looked like Tarzan.

Many nobles noticed the primitive Diablo and wanted to hunt him.

But Marquis Salz valued talent so he brought Diablo under his wing.

A few years later, Diablo became powerful and famous in Black Lava Nation. Salz spent a huge fortune to create a piece of epic equipment for Diablo and freed him from the slave status. Finally, he also conferred the status of Count upon Diablo.

It was simple.

Diablo was a Count and a King’s counselor. But he was very powerful.

Wells inhaled a gust of air. He recognized the famous Diablo, but he did not expect Diablo to charge at a legion and cause so much destruction.

William discovered that Wells was distracted. He swept the blades horizontally but Wells lowered his head to evade. The sword energy that looked like the moon swept past Wells’ head and severed his long hair.

Wills lifted his head and laughed coldly. He advanced instead of retreating. His shield emitted brilliance, and it transformed into a huge orange shield. He slapped William away like swatting a fly with his shield.

As William was about to fall off the ramparts, he extended out a huge soul hand and grabbed Wells!

In the end…

Voices of defeat appeared in William’s mind.

He crushed a few unfortunate players. But he leaped up and charged up the city walls.

William knew he was about to fall but it was a pity that the Hand of Soul had no effect on Wells.

Meanwhile,

Lautner led the regular legions up the city walls!
