Ascension To Divine Throne - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Bloody Battle!

As the magical beasts awakened, the faces of everyone present grew more serious.

Tusks Wild Boars, Wind Griffins, Bloodfall Serpents…

William even saw a Moon Spirit Leopard mixed in with the group of magical beasts. Did he realize something? But now wasn’t the time to ponder over such matters!

William quickly estimated that there were at least hundreds of magical beasts, with the majority being Bronze-tier, followed by Silver-tier, and a few Golden-tier magical beasts.

With such an extravagant display, completely exterminating these magical beasts here would be quite difficult.

Bivis and the others were also calculating, but compared to the original plan of placing over three hundred magical beasts in each secret room, the current situation was already much better.

However, these magical beasts seemed devoid of any rationality or intelligence, beginning to even attack each other under the influence of the blood array.

Just as Bivis and the others retreated into the underground passage, preparing to use the terrain to ambush and kill the magical beasts here, suddenly, as the magical beasts awakened, the ceiling of the basement suddenly collapsed, and most of the magical beasts rushed out through the large hole in the ceiling.

Bivis’s face turned ashen. Seeing this situation, how could he not understand? The people of the Beast God Cult had long prepared to release the magical beasts.

There was no time to waste. Bivis leaped out of the basement and shouted at the Golden Lion Knights standing silently not far away:

“Everyone, attack! Stop all these magical beasts in this area!”

“Teams One, Two, and Three, kill the magical beasts. Team Four, intercept the magical beasts and evacuate unrelated personnel.”

The soldiers who received the order immediately moved out without any fear, rushing towards the swarm of magical beasts pouring out of the basement.

Just upon contact, it was clear that the Golden Lion Knights were indeed the kingdom’s most elite troops.

The soldiers adeptly formed three-person teams to coordinate and deal with each magical beast, skillfully neutralizing the beasts’ attacks.

Bivis led the other strong individuals into the midst of the magical beasts, each dealing with the several Golden-tier magical beasts.

This level of magical beasts already exceeded the soldiers’ limits, and they had to take over from here.

William glanced at Peter, who was thrown aside, his body covered in blood, looking as if Bivis had already broken his bones.

Odysseus was still casting enhancement spells on Bivis and the others. He couldn’t help it; the power of the Dawn Church was concentrated elsewhere in the lower city, and there were no priests from the Dawn Church accompanying them here.

The pressure on Bivis and the others was immense. They had never expected the Beast God Cult to release so many magical beasts in the lower city.

These Golden-tier magical beasts had lost their minds. Although their strength had decreased, they were also fearless, not retreating even a step despite their injuries.

So although Bivis held a significant advantage, they still needed to spend a considerable amount of time to kill these magical beasts due to their powerful bodies.

At this moment, William also directly joined the battle. However, he didn’t choose to attack the Golden-tier magical beasts but instead aimed for the Silver and Bronze-tier magical beasts.

Empowered by his Emerald Staff, numerous blue bombs appeared around William’s body. With precise control, he accurately slammed them onto the magical beasts.

Now, William’s expertise in increased damage came into play. With abilities like “Extraordinary Magic Power” and “Mastery of Arms – Unique,” the damage he dealt with a simple spell like the Blue Bomb was enormous.

Bronze-tier magical beasts couldn’t withstand two or three Blue Bombs, and even Silver-tier magical beasts were severely injured by several Blue Bombs.

This three-ring arcane skill of William’s, as his strength continued to grow, displayed increasingly terrifying power.

Just as William officially began the battle, his system panel refreshed with a new mission—

[Golden-tier Mission: Blood Battle!]

[Mission Objective: You have discovered and begun to disrupt the Beast God Cult’s planned blood ritual. The final battle has begun, thwart the Beast God Cult’s scheme!]

[Mission Reward: 10 million experience points, Special Expertise “Bloodlust”]

Whew, on a mission!

Little did he expect that by prematurely detonating the blood ritual, the system would issue a special mission, and a Golden-tier one at that.

William nodded as he looked at the fresh and hot mission prompt on the system panel.

But whether it was due to his strength or because he had actively guided the situation, the experience reward for this mission was much higher than in his previous life, and there was even a brand-new Expertise, the effects of which he was still unsure about.

William wasn’t worried about completing the mission. The current situation was already much better than the blood ritual chaos in his previous life, and there were plenty of heavyweights behind him to back him up. All he needed to do now was grind.

Yes, William was essentially grinding mobs now. Encountering so many magical beasts at once was usually quite difficult. In the game “God’s Apocalypse,” unlike other games where players had to hunt for monsters to level up, here, monsters were scattered everywhere, and it took a lot of effort for players to find and kill them. But now, they were attacking William head-on without evasion, allowing him to take them head-on.

William looked at the frantic prompts on his system panel, unable to help but sigh:

“Hats off to my pals from the Beast God Cult, they’re really something!”

If it weren’t for the efficiency of spell grinding and his plan to disguise his talents, William would have drawn his sword and charged into the fray by now. That would surely feel fantastic.

Hot blood sprayed everywhere on the battlefield, severed limbs flew in all directions, and the chilling roar of beasts echoed in everyone’s ears, yet it didn’t shake the ferocity of the soldiers bathed in blood.

For Canlight City, a dead magical beast was a good magical beast.

Rachel and the others, who were hiding on the side, stared dumbfoundedly at the battle before them, utterly stupefied.

“What’s going on?! Where did all these magical beasts come from? And they all look so terrifying!” As newly promoted level two or three professionals, even the weakest Bronze-tier magical beasts on the battlefield appeared extremely deadly in their eyes.

Such powerful magical beasts, and they’re being taken down by William’s spells just like that?

In the eyes of these players, William seemed like a cold and merciless reaper, impartially dealing death to each enemy on the battlefield.

Yet, like an elegant artist, floating calmly in mid-air and casting spells, he appeared so graceful and handsome, unaffected by the bloody battlefield.

Is this what a mage is like? So elegant! So cool!

Rachel’s eyes lit up, completely mesmerized by the scene before her.
