Three hours later.
Dillis fell into a bitter battle. Thorne's Shadowless Sword and Nether Flame Blade left wounds on Dillis' body after several clashes.
The armor that the Annihilation Legion was proud of was useless against Thorne's exquisite and deadly swordsmanship. Every time Thorne swung his sword, it would pierce through a gap in the armor and directly damage Dillis' body.
If not for the supreme power bestowed upon him by the Lord of Annihilation, he would have died under Thorne's sword.
But what really troubled Dillis was not his teacher Thorne, but the Holy Spirits who had noticed the battle and gathered here.
Dillis still had the idea of recruiting these Holy Spirits, so he tried his best not to hurt them during the battle. He also took this opportunity to test the combat talent of these Holy Spirits.
What made him pleasantly surprised was that a small portion of the Holy Spirits who fought alongside Thorne were astonishingly talented in battle.
Whether it was the young Magic Lancer with a spear or the Swordsman with a dark green lightsaber, Dillis was looking forward to the power they would display after receiving the gift from the Lord of Annihilation.
What Dillis looked forward to the most was the Holy Spirit in front of him who was using the power of the Dragon and Tiger to fight him.
"Your talent should not be buried in such a place, Holy Spirit."
Dillis took a few steps back and dodged Zhao Mingwei's Lion's Roar and Tiger's Earthshaker. The moment Dillis's feet touched the ground, another Psychic Cannon hit him.
He cut off the oncoming Psychic Cannon with his sword and quickly retreated a few hundred steps. His teacher Thorne had no intention of pursuing him.
Thorne's goal was to prevent Dillis from approaching the Dragon and taking away the Abyss Seed.
But the goal of the Holy Spirits around Thorne was to kill him.
"Holy Spirits, we can talk."
Seeing that Thorne was no longer pursuing him, Dillis released a Confinement Spell to imprison the 14 Holy Spirits who were besieging him.
Now, the players of the major guilds were busy reducing the Dragon's HP.
The only players who were entangled with Diris were the professional players who often trained with Thorne. There were also some players who couldn't make it into the Clearers' team due to their damage output, equipment, and skills, so they could only slack off here. For example, Silver.
"A magic cage with close to 50,000 HP … Is this the world of the Top Holy Ghost Dungeon?"
Silver threw the Brick in his hand at the Magic Cage constructed by Deiris. The Brick only dealt around 500 damage to the Magic Cage.
"We only have 14 people. We'll need a whole Guild's Clearers to kill it."
Zhao Mingwei could tell from the Boss's HP that he was a powerful enemy that no solo player could defeat.
But what surprised Zhao Mingwei was that this Lord-tier monster from the Annihilation Army did not even lose a single drop of HP, let alone send them back to Freya's embrace.
"Do you want me to call Coach Song over to help?"
Remnant Cloud unleashed a flurry of skills at the Magic Cage. Even after a full set of skills, the Magic Cage only lost around 10,000 HP.
Swirling Clouds and Silver's current equipment couldn't even be considered the second tier of Holy Ghost players.
"Coach Song is busy fighting for the Ultimate Dragon's reward. He definitely doesn't have time to deal with this lone soldier from the Annihilation Army." Manager Yin could only pin his hopes on Zhao Ming Wei and the other players. "Contestant Zhao!
Is your Awakening on cooldown? "
"Twenty seconds left."
Zhao Mingwei was waiting for his Awakening. When the Awakening's Cooldown was over, he could rely on his Awakening to break through Deiris's restraints.
"Holy Spirits!
Listen to me! "
During the three hours of battle, Deiris had been frantically arguing with these Holy Spirits. But in order to avoid Thorne's attacks, he did not have the time to speak a complete sentence.
Now, he compromised because he knew that he could not break through his teacher's sword defense. The Ultimate Dragon's HP was gradually withering under the siege of the Holy Spirits.
So, in the end, he had to plant the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of these Holy Spirits, or rather, the seeds of betrayal.
But these Holy Spirits did not care about what he said until now!
Finally, Deiris could no longer maintain his composure and shouted.
The Holy Spirits finally stopped talking to each other, but after glancing at Deiris, they continued to chat among themselves.
"Master Xiao, when you retire, come to our North City to play when you have time."
Caramel was also waiting for her Awakening to cool down. Since Deiris had no intention of attacking, it was good to use this time to chat.
As for the cool lines that the Boss said in the Instance Dungeon, as a veteran player, she had long since gotten used to it.
It was like the background music in the game, something that she would forget after listening to it.
"I've been busy making equipment recently, so I don't have time to travel for the time being."
Zhao Mingwei was probably the one who paid the most attention to Deiris's words among the fourteen players. When he was talking to the other players, his eyes were always fixed on Deiris.
At this moment, Zhao Mingwei's Awakening's Cooldown was over … Just as Zhao Mingwei was about to release the Golden Thunder Tiger, Deiris's words made Zhao Mingwei, Caramel, and the other players stop talking.
"Freya … Is that right?
I remember this name. "Dyris noticed that the gamers were looking at him in unison.
At this moment, Diris realized that he had finally hit the nail on the head. These Holy Spirits cared about a lot of things. They were indeed greedy, but there was one thing they cared about very much, and that was the puppet named Freya.
"I remember in the background setting that this Boss … seems to eat puppets. Will we get a reward if we give her to him?"
At this moment, Caramel uttered a sentence that was enough to make the 12 of them stare at him with a horrified expression.
Caramel was one of the few Holy Spirits who was not interested in Freya.
He liked PvP and difficult challenges, which was very similar to Zhao Mingwei … That was why Caramel and Thorne spent more time together than Freya.
"Great God Caramel, I saw that there is indeed such an option on the forum, but if you really give your Freya to the Annihilation Legion in exchange for power, you will probably be scolded to death by the Freya Protection Association, right?" a Cola Fanatic player said nervously.
"Don't be fooled by the God-Eater God!
Holy Spirits! "
Deiris heard the argument between the Holy Spirits, and realized that this was the best opportunity to plant the seeds of suspicion in their hearts. He said loudly to the players, "The God-Eater God has imprisoned that puppet, and she is using you … I can give your puppet freedom."
Of course, Deiris's words were all nonsense. He only wanted the Holy Spirits to have doubts about their god.
At this moment, Zhao Mingwei released his Awakened Golden Thunder Tiger and pounced on Dyris. Dyris used a defensive barrier to resist Zhao Mingwei's attack.
The Terminator Dragon in the distance let out a mournful wail, indicating that its life was coming to an end.
Deiris sighed deeply, and swung his sword again … cutting the space beside him.
"Holy Spirits, I'm looking forward to your reply." After leaving this sentence, Dyris disappeared into the Dimensional Rift.
"The Boss's words are quite informative. I guess it's just as the forum predicted. The Holy Spirits are about to open the faction system?
Sacrificing Freya to join the Annihilation Legion? "a player whispered.
"The Freya Protection Society will give you a warning."
Boss Yin also made a small joke. If he didn't make a joke, Sweeping Away Cloud would have directly charged forward.
Boss Yin ignored the other players' discussion and slowly walked to Zhao Mingwei's side.
"Player Zhao, what do you think?" Boss Yin saw that Zhao Mingwei's expression was a little serious.
"I hope the game will open a new level cap as soon as possible."
Zhao Mingwei looked at his hands. Level 55 was already the top level among the Holy Spirits. At this stage, the players were busy forging their own equipment.
Raising the level cap was a very slow process, but when Zhao Mingwei faced Deiris, he realized that the level cap of Level 55 was really too low!
He desperately hoped that the Holy Spirits would open a higher level cap, stronger skills, and stronger equipment.
"This is only the third beta test of the game, and the level cap has already been increased once. However, with the speed of the Holy Spirit's update, the next big map should be out soon," Mr. Yin said as he looked at the Terminal Dragon whose HP had been emptied by the players.
"That … that Inner World … isn't it a newly updated map?" Sweeping Away Cloud followed Boss Yin and asked nervously.
He had just finished the Battle of Divinities and hadn't experienced Brandt Island or the Inner World much.
"The Inner World is more like a guild's construction area. It can't be considered a new map at all. There are too few things to explore."
Boss Yin looked at Thorne, who was yawning in the distance. "You've been fighting Thorne for half a month. Aren't you tired of it?"
"A little." Sweeping Away Cloud was indeed a little traumatized by Thorne.
"The Brandt Island downloadable content didn't update any large cities. The Holy Spirits currently only have four large cities. The next update will probably update one or a few new cities."
While Boss Yin was browsing the Holy Spirits' official website, the officials had already released a new update announcement.
"The expanded map of Brandt Island and Blacktide Island are in preparation."
