Chapter 313: Underworld: The Wolf King Awakens
Chapter 313: Underworld: The Wolf King Awakens
In the deep darkness, a werewolf hurriedly ran towards the command post where the Night King was. His face was filled with anxiety and fear, and he had obviously just witnessed the tragic scene on the battlefield ahead.
"My Lord Night King, the wolf king is out of control! It has completely lost its mind. If we let it continue like this, our assault force will be slaughtered." The werewolf panted and reported the situation to the Night King in a trembling voice.
The Night King stood in the darkness, his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment, making it difficult to grasp. After hearing the werewolf's words, the Night King did not show any surprise or worry. Instead, he said calmly: "Everyone retreat, let the black wolf kill and destroy on its own." His tone revealed a cold and ruthless attitude, as if he had already planned everything that was about to happen.
In fact, the reason why the Wolf King became what he is now is because he used the blood of the Night King to transform himself. Although this clone technique is extremely powerful, ordinary people cannot withstand the powerful energy fluctuations in the Night King's body. If they are not careful, they will explode and die. Even those who successfully survived the transformation either cannot activate the power given by the Night King, or even if they can activate it, they cannot control their bodies, and eventually become monsters that only know how to kill.
The wolf king in front of him obviously belongs to the latter - he has completely lost his self-control ability and acts only on instinct. At this moment, the black wolf king is like an emotionless machine, constantly attacking all creatures around him and strengthening himself by devouring them. Facing such an uncontrollable beast, staying will only make you a victim in its evolution process.
Therefore, when the Night King issued the order to retreat, everyone began to evacuate the scene in an orderly manner. They knew that instead of dying here in vain, it would be better to temporarily abandon the mission and save their strength for the future.
After all, in the eyes of the Night King, this was just a failed attempt; even if a clone was lost, it would not have much impact on the entire plan. Moreover, letting such an out-of-control existence fight against the Holy See Knights was a favorable situation for them no matter what the result was: if the Black Wolf really defeated the enemy, then they won; otherwise, they just lost an unimportant pawn.
"Light magic support." Athena reminded loudly at the critical moment when the dark creatures began to retreat. Her voice penetrated the hustle and bustle of the battlefield, allowing the light priests in the rear to quickly stabilize their formation and begin to cast light magic again to consume the power of the Black Wolf King.
At this moment, the Black Wolf King not only possessed powerful external dark energy, but also possessed an extremely strong body. The combination of the two made all attacks seem so weak and ineffective. As Athena expected, the light magic cast by the sacrificial group could just offset the dark energy of the Black Wolf King. In this way, the only thing left was his indestructible body that needed to be dealt with.
But things were not that simple. Athena seemed to have underestimated the true strength of the Black Wolf King. The light magic stimulated by dozens of priests could not completely offset the endless dark power in the Black Wolf King's body.
Feeling the gradually weakening but still powerful light magic energy in his body, the extremely angry Black Wolf King let out a deafening roar, and then rushed towards the sacrificial group regardless of everything, trying to use his last bit of strength to destroy these enemies that threatened his existence.
At this moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of tension, and everyone knew that what was about to happen would be a life-and-death battle.
Seeing the Black Wolf King rushing at them like a ferocious beast, the Vatican knights in the rear did not flinch. They held their spears tightly and marched forward bravely. However, in the first battle with the Black Wolf King, the ten knights in the front were almost instantly knocked away, falling heavily to the ground, groaning in pain.
At this critical moment, Athena stepped forward, took a deep breath, concentrated all her strength, and launched the strongest single attack at present - "Holy Light Cross Slash".
A dazzling light burst out from the tip of her sword, as if it could dispel all the darkness in the world. This powerful light slash cut through the air like lightning and directly hit the huge body of the Black Wolf King.
"Bang!" A deafening roar echoed throughout the battlefield, and everyone's eyes were focused on this moment. After being hit so hard, the Black Wolf King's body made a huge collision sound, and his entire body shook violently.
However, surprisingly, despite the seemingly powerful attack, the Black Wolf King did not suffer any substantial damage. It only paused for a moment, then took heavy steps again and continued to move forward, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial disturbance to it.
"Knights, protect the priests and retreat!" Athena's voice echoed on the battlefield, her eyes were firm and resolute. The strength of these monsters in front of her was far beyond her expectations. If no action was taken, the entire priest group would be in dire straits.
Athena also knew that once the suppression and assistance of the sacrificial group was lost, the gap in strength between herself and the Black Wolf King would be further widened. Moreover, they now had almost no chance of escape - the Black Wolf King had already locked his target on this group of innocent lives and vowed to devour them all.
However, at this critical moment, the members of the sacrificial group did not show any fear or panic. On the contrary, even in the face of such a powerful enemy, they still maintained their formation, and no one chose to flee or give up resistance.
This is exactly the spirit of the Priests of Light: no matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, they must stick to their beliefs and move forward courageously. They are the strongest backing of the Holy See of Light and one of the indispensable forces in maintaining justice.
Just when everyone thought the situation was beyond redemption, a figure suddenly stood out from the crowd—it was Alpha! Although his body was covered with scars and the blood had long since dried, at this moment he stood up again as if he had been reborn.
"Lord Athena, please allow me to fight alongside you. The rest of you should evacuate as soon as possible." His words were full of determination and courage.
It turns out that after experiencing countless life-and-death tests, Alpha not only possesses extraordinary recovery abilities (thanks to the magic energy replenishment brought by the Light Tribute bestowed by the Pope), but also because of the dragon blood flowing in his body, he can stimulate stronger self-healing power every time he is seriously injured; in addition, he has long practiced an oriental martial arts secret book called "Sun Sutra", which is specifically used to improve body functions and heal injuries...
In this way, in the chaos, two warriors stepped forward and prepared for the upcoming final showdown. At the same time, the rest of the personnel followed the instructions and began to move to the safe area in an orderly manner, hoping to buy more precious time for this battle.
"Swords of Light!" Alpha shouted, his voice full of majesty and power. As he called out, five swords of light seemed to be summoned from the void and instantly appeared in front of him. These swords of light flashed with dazzling light, like divine weapons from heaven, exuding an awe-inspiring aura. They shot towards the back of the Black Wolf King at an extremely fast speed, with an unstoppable momentum.
Although the swords of light could not completely destroy the indestructible body of the Black Wolf King, at this moment, they actually succeeded in expelling the dark energy from a small area of the Black Wolf King's body, forming a brief gap. This pure and powerful force of light shocked everyone present.
"Light Cross Slash!" Athena lived up to everyone's expectations. She tightly grasped the long sword in her hand and fiercely struck the opportunity created by Alpha with a cross slash. This time, without the blocking buffer of dark energy, the cross slash fiercely chopped the body of the Black Wolf King. For a moment, the skin and flesh were torn apart, and blood spurted out. The scene was extremely tragic.
The Black Wolf King howled in pain, his voice full of anger and unwillingness. At this moment, the priests in front also took the opportunity to reduce the intensity of light magic and retreat in an orderly manner, because the Black Wolf King turned to attack the two humans in the back. They obviously realized that continuing the direct confrontation would only bring more casualties.
Athena looked at Alpha with some complex feelings, she was surprised and a little confused. Although the Sword of Light that Alpha had just used was not powerful, it was not the traditional way of using the knight's fighting spirit, but more like a magician's attack method. At this moment, Athena truly believed that Alpha had really realized something and was able to successfully transform his fighting spirit.
However, only Alpha himself knew that this transformation had huge drawbacks. First, he could only use light energy, and his own fighting spirit had to be transformed, and the conversion efficiency was only 50%. Second, the power of light magic could not be compared with the original fighting spirit, it just increased the light attribute.
Despite this, Alpha was not discouraged. He knew that in this situation, he could only play a supporting role. So he said to Athena: "Lady Athena, I will cooperate with your attack." His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination and belief.
At this moment, Alpha had completely abandoned all his weight-bearing equipment. He knew very well that when facing the Black Wolf King that was tens of meters tall, any extra weight could become a fatal burden.
Even the long sword that had accompanied him in his battles was placed aside, because it seemed too heavy in such a battle and could not play its due role.
At this moment, the only thing Alpha can rely on is his own speed and flexibility - only by constantly dodging and looking for opportunities to counterattack can he defeat the behemoth in front of him.
Currently, the weapon in Alpha's hand is a magic gun, which is not only powerful but also has a very fast firing rate. Theoretically, it can indeed cause considerable damage to the Black Wolf King. However, Alpha will not use it easily.
The reason is simple: first, the magic gun is powerful but has limited ammunition; second, in such a fierce confrontation, every bullet must be used to the best effect. If you just shoot blindly and miss the vital parts, it will not only waste precious resources, but also expose your position and leave opportunities for the enemy. Therefore, unless it is a last resort, Alpha would rather choose a more cautious way to deal with the challenge.
In short, at this critical moment, Alpha showed the wisdom and courage of a true warrior. He knew that only by keeping calm, assessing the situation, and making full use of his own advantages could he stand out from this seemingly impossible contest.
Alpha kept swinging the Sword of Light, each swing brought with it a powerful force and light, trying to break the thick layer of dark power on the Black Wolf King. Each of his attacks was like a race against time, because he knew that he could not hold on for long. At the current rate, he could only hold on for about ten minutes at most. The situation became more and more urgent, but Alpha had no intention of giving up, instead he became more determined.
At this moment, Alpha's eyes were fixed on the head of the wolf king, which was one of its most vulnerable parts. Since it had been hit by the power of silence before, this place had become an obvious weakness.
For Alpha, now was not the time to try to find more weaknesses; instead, he had to concentrate all his strength on one point to deal a fatal blow to the enemy. So he focused all his attention on this area, preparing for the final attack.
At the same time, Athena also increased her offensive power. The weapon in her hand emitted a dazzling light, and each blow was full of destructive energy.
As the battle continued, the two of them became more and more coordinated, as if they were in sync with each other. They each played to their greatest strengths - Alpha was responsible for weakening the opponent's defense and creating opportunities, while Athena seized these opportunities to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
Gradually, the dark energy above the Black Wolf King's neck began to thin, and the top of his head showed obvious signs of damage. The originally extremely solid shell was gradually losing its protective function, revealing the softer part inside.
Especially the place that was once broken by the power of silence has now become an extremely sensitive and vulnerable area. Whenever Athena's attack landed here, the Black Wolf King would feel unbearable pain. This pain is not only physical torture, but also fear and despair deep in the heart.
With a deafening roar, the Black Wolf King showed his dignity as a king and his endless rage. The powerful dark power in his body gushed out like a flood, instantly engulfing everything around him in endless darkness. This power not only made people feel terrified, but also made people feel an irresistible sense of oppression.
