The crescent moon hung high in the sky and poured its light onto the ground.
Moon's Mourning was the strongest magic weapon in Spirit of Grief. The moment it came into contact with the moonlight, waves of energy immediately appeared on the surface of the blade. Annihilation Abyss seemed to be unstoppable!
A gust of wind swept past, accompanied by a tearing sound — break!!
The Waning Moon In The Morning Breeze let out a scream as he and his horse were turned to dust by the sharp light of Moon's Mourning. This was the first time he had seen such a powerful sword energy attack.
"Haha, you ants!"
Annihilation Abyss laughed arrogantly. In reality, he had the right to be arrogant. Forget with Moon's Mourning, even if he didn't have these two weapons, he wouldn't care about us players at all.
Ling Xue spread her wings and slashed Annihilation Abyss's shoulder with her God Dancing Sword!
Clang!
“274985！”
Ling Xue barely broke through Annihilation Abyss's defense. She was extremely fast, and the shield on her left arm blocked Annihilation Abyss's attack head-on.
“24923787！”
I was only a sliver away from being one-shot!
"Now! Hurry up!"
Ling Xue hurriedly retreated, but Annihilation Abyss was even faster. He turned into a bolt of lightning and fired Moon's Mourning. Ling Xue immediately turned into motes of starlight. She had also been one-shot!
However, Ling Xue's sacrifice gave us the perfect opportunity. Chrysanthemum Daohana played Melody Echo, and Silent Rain pulled open his Sky Illusion Bow. The two girls were casting spells right in front of Annihilation Abyss. It was very unlikely that they would be able to dodge!
“miss！”
“miss！”
Unfortunately, neither of them were able to stun him.
Annihilation Abyss cackled and suddenly opened his hand to cover the sky. His palm transformed into a demonic hand that pulled down a burning meteor from the sky!
Boom!
Sparks flew everywhere. Chrysanthemum Daohana and Silent Rain were one-shot!
"Cover! Go!
The first boss is just around the corner! "
Solitary Grave shouted. He led Hellfire and the other experts from Autumn Rain into battle, but Annihilation Abyss swung his sword without looking back.
"Buzz!"
Moon's Sorrow clanged, and the destructive sword aura fell. The huge cyclone was like a storm, thunder and lightning, as if the end of the world had come!
"F * ck …"
Solitary Grave stopped moving forward. Looking at the sword energy in the sky, he knew he couldn't dodge it.
Boom!
The earth shook, and the sound of the sword echoed. The Abyss of Destruction's sword was filled with godly might, and it annihilated Autumn Rain's camp in one fell swoop. More than two thousand people, and not a single one survived!
Wildhammer Town, which had originally been a forest, had become a living hell. Not only had Annihilation Abyss killed Autumn Rain's super-tier players, but it had also slashed into the ground. The force of the slash had seeped into the ground, forming a huge chasm. The chasm was so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
"Spread out, attack!"
I raised my sword and slashed at Annihilation Abyss's chest armor, causing sparks to fly.
"Heh, die!"
Annihilation Abyss flew into a rage and swung its sword!
Clang!
The sword was deflected, and the Radiant Holy Armor immediately shattered.
“39848755！”
I was dumbfounded. If I was hit head-on, wouldn't I be one-shot in two hits?
I took out the Soul Chasing Bow and didn't dare to fight in close combat. My wings flapped, and I flew at top speed. I drew an arc in the air, and an elemental arrow flew out with white light!
Stun Arrow!
Thunder Arrow!
“193848！”
“249845！”
It didn't stun me, and the damage I dealt was very low. Only the heavens knew how strong Annihilation Abyss's defense was!
On the other side, the Shadow Follower and Melancholy flashed left and right, hitting Annihilation Abyss with Wind Breaking Slash and Blind at the same time. Unfortunately, they didn't work either. Instead, they angered Annihilation Abyss.
"Dodge, Breeze!" the Shadow Follower shouted.
It was too late. Annihilation Abyss abruptly stomped the ground, raised Moon's Sorrow, and chanted in a trembling voice, "Deep earth, accept my curse, and fall in the abyss of eternity — Abyss of Apocalypse!"
High-level magic!?
All of a sudden, the earth began to tremble. It was no less than a magnitude 10 earthquake. Moreover, the surface of the earth cracked open, and countless amounts of lava spewed out. Heaven and earth, both near and far, were destroyed and shocked.
"Be careful!"
I grabbed Qin Yun's hand and held her tightly in my arms. Then, I flew upward at top speed. Ling Yue also spread her wings and flew upward.
It was like the end of the world. A sea of lava stretched as far as the eye could see, and the huge area around Wildhammer Town had turned into a living hell. The players on the ground struggled, and many had already used their return scrolls to escape. Even more people entered combat mode and fell into the fiery hell. Countless white lights flew into the sky!
I gritted my teeth and opened the world map. The ground in the Outer Lands was covered in blood. In the blink of an eye, even Dark Castle had fallen into the abyss. The terrifying red spread to the Barbarian Lands, and in the blink of an eye, Golden City at the edge of the Barbarian Lands disappeared from the map!
"You're still looking?
Let's go! "
Ling Yue called out lightly and flew in the direction of Heavenly Key City.
Annihilation Abyss had killed everyone except me, Ling Yue, and Qin Yun. He didn't continue to chase us. He withdrew his powerful aura and moved toward Hell Castle.
I hugged Qin Yun and flew through the air. There was no place to land on the ground. There was lava everywhere. Half of the Outer Lands had been destroyed by Annihilation Abyss just like that.
"Look …"
Ling Yue pointed to a place not far away, her beautiful eyes filled with shock — —
On the ground, a majestic city was collapsing. It was Golden City. The entire ground was tilting, and Golden City was almost turned upside down. Countless Peerless players screamed for help in the city, but they could only follow the city and fall into the sea of lava. White light flashed, and countless Holy Spirits were reborn.
"Too … too scary …"
Ling Yue's voice trembled.
I flew closer and hugged her shoulder. "This Annihilation Abyss is the source of all evil in Spirit of Grief. Damn, it's too strong. We're no match for it."
"Yes."
Ling Yue nodded. "Although the Frost Blade Annie is strong, we still have a chance to win. However, the gap between us and the Abyss of Annihilation doesn't seem to be something that can be shortened with hard work."
I looked at the sinking Golden City and said, "But Annihilation Abyss helped us take care of Peerless. Hmph, without Golden City, Xun Fang is nothing!"
"Haha, you're right!"
Ling Yue smiled and glared at me. She said, "So today's operation is a success?"
"Everyone failed … the only success was our quest to capture Anne. When we get back, we'll find Bing Lan to get the quest reward."
I looked at the Dark Citadel in the distance, which had been reduced to a sea of flames. "It's a shame that China, America, and India all sent their main forces to attack the Dark Citadel. That Abyss of Annihilation spell killed them all. What a great loss."
That's right, today's operation was a complete tragedy. Annihilation Abyss appeared, and its destructive power wasn't something ordinary players could withstand.
White Cloud City's elites were all sent out, and almost all of their top hundred experts were present. But Annihilation Abyss still easily crushed them. The difference was just too great.
But what made me think deeply was that Annihilation Abyss had such great power. Why didn't it leave Hell Castle and lead its undead army to sweep across the humans? Why did it let the Silvermoon Alliance slowly recover until it had the power to fight against the Army of Darkness?
Could it be that Annihilation Abyss was afraid of the humans?
That wasn't possible. Bing Lan was the protector of the humans, but she wasn't a match for Annihilation Abyss. Also, Bing Lan's power was already at the level of a god. Almost no one could compare to her.
Then, the only possibility was that Annihilation Abyss wasn't afraid of the enemy, but that it had some kind of restriction that prevented it from advancing.
Last time, the Abyss of Annihilation had attacked Rimmed Orchid from the outskirts of the Hellish Citadel. This time, the Abyss of Annihilation had killed Aodan and the Grand Warlock, and then descended upon the Dark Citadel. Actually, the Abyss of Annihilation had been operating within the Army of Darkness.
Then, it wasn't that Annihilation Abyss didn't want to destroy the humans, but that it couldn't personally descend on a human city. The last time it attacked White Cloud City, it left immediately after. Maybe it was worried that Bing Lan would return. At that time, it probably hadn't obtained Moon's Sorrow yet, or it could only come out for a short time.
Thinking for a long time made me dizzy.
Forget it. Bing Lan had already brought Anne back to Longyu. Who knew how long it would take for her to wash away the undead aura on her? Bing Lan was already a god. Logically speaking, she should have the ability to grant life. That meant that Anne could resurrect as a human. Once Anne was freed from Moon's Sorrow's control, she would appear as a human goddess. That way, Anne and Bing Lan could form a 2v1 situation again. Two goddesses facing off against Annihilation Abyss, they could still fight.
When they arrived at Skykey City, Bing Cha and Ling Xue were both in the great hall. Both of them had dropped a level, and the two girls weren't happy.
"Find a chance to sneak into Hell Castle and castrate Annihilation Abyss!" Bing Cha said hatefully.
Ling Xue said, "No, the Eastern Faction is the strongest. Look at Invincible East, Failure West, Li Lianying, they're all stronger than the last. If you castrate Annihilation Abyss, we won't be able to beat him for the rest of our lives."
Bing Cha said resentfully, "Then let him live..."
Ling Yue, Qin Yun, and I walked into the hall.
Soundless Rain followed us in and said, "The situation outside is bad!"
"What is it?"
Soundless Rain frowned and said, "Outside of Sky Key City, a group of Unparalleled Survivors were originally leveling up outside. Golden City was destroyed, and they had nowhere else to go, so they came to Sky Key City to prepare to establish themselves. But … our people, Dark Shadow Drifter and Dancing Spring and Autumn brought people to block them outside and refused to let them in."
"Oh?
Something like that happened? "
I gripped the North Dark Sword and said, "Come, let's go take a look!"
