Chapter 258 Siege
"Well said! Sarsovar, Mal'Ganis! This is the awareness that we Abyss nobles should have!"
All talk of past masters' favors is just a ridiculous shackle that binds the weak!
Princess Celia, it seems you've been away from the Abyss for too long and have forgotten how to survive here. Are you still dreaming of family and loyalty?
It's truly... both pathetic and laughable!
Her words were like poisoned needles, piercing Celia's last hope.
Just then, Gruul, who had been ignored all along, completely lost his patience. He felt like a clown, and rage completely clouded his judgment.
"Enough with the nonsense! All of you, die!"
Gruul let out a deafening roar, his muscles bulging, and dark red abyssal battle aura rose from his body like flames!
He gripped the Rockbreaker tightly with both hands, and runes on the massive decapitation blade lit up one after another, radiating destructive energy fluctuations—
[Ground-Shattering Strike]!
He held back no longer and unleashed a powerful area-of-effect attack! The enormous blade, carrying a terrifying force that seemed to tear the earth apart, slashed fiercely towards the ground!
Rumble—!!!
A massive shockwave erupted forward in a fan shape, cracking the earth and causing countless sharp rock spikes to suddenly rise like a forest, covering a large area where Lin Tian and Celia were!
This strike is determined to utterly crush the two "rats" along with the ground they stand on!
"Watch out!" Celia exclaimed, instinctively trying to use Shadow Shift.
However, Lin Tian, who had been observing from the sidelines and accumulating strength, made his move.
Faced with this ferocious attack that was enough to change the terrain, he didn't even use any movement skills to dodge.
He simply raised the Star Devouring Staff calmly and gently moved forward, facing the surging shockwave and the dense forest of earth spikes.
[Shinra Tensei] - Full power activated!
hum! ! !
An invisible repulsive force, even stronger and more powerful than when resisting the giant tail, erupted with the direction Lin Tian's staff pointed, like an invisible barrier suddenly rising from a calm sea, or like the primal force that pushed away all matter when a galaxy was born!
"Bang!!!!"
The terrifying, earth-shattering shockwave collided violently with the incredibly resilient repulsive field, producing a deafening roar, like two mountains colliding!
Space distorted violently, and visible ripples spread wildly in all directions!
Gruul's invincible [Earthshatter], with its terrifying power capable of tearing apart a legion's formation, was met with an insurmountable force of absolute rejection. His momentum was abruptly halted, deflected, and then... swept back!
Boom! Crack!
Some of the shockwaves and ground spikes were forcibly deflected by the repulsive field, instead splashing towards Gruul himself and the people behind him, such as Shaheras and Sasovall!
"What?!" Gruul's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly held the Rockbreaker in front of him to block the backlash of his own power. He was shaken back repeatedly, leaving deep footprints on the ground with each step.
Sahras's expression also changed, and her figure flashed rapidly like a ghost, dodging the flying debris and the twisting shockwaves.
Sasorvar slammed his staff on the ground, and a shadow shield rose up, deflecting the incoming rocks. His face beneath the hood was extremely grim.
Mal'Ganis's spirit fluctuated, and the cursed force field passively defended itself.
Lin Tian remained suspended in place, his robes fluttering in the surging energy winds, yet his figure remained as steady as a rock.
He slowly lowered his staff, his gaze calmly sweeping over the four somewhat disheveled Abyss Generals before finally settling on Gruul, whose face was ashen.
"It seems," Lin Tian said calmly, his voice not loud, but clearly suppressing the lingering echo of the energy, "that your power cannot even withstand your own attack."
"Bastard!!" Gruul went completely berserk, his reason consumed by endless humiliation and rage. His battle aura burned wildly once more, even at the cost of overdrawing his own power. His eyes were bloodshot as he charged forward again, disregarding everything else.
"Enough, Gruul!"
"Do you want to get us all killed? This human is suspicious! Attack together, finish this quickly, don't give him another chance to pick us off one by one!" Sasova shouted sharply, her voice carrying an undeniable gravity.
Sahras also dropped the mockery on her face, crossed her twin blades in front of her chest, and her eyes became dangerous and focused:
"Sasovall is right, this young man is a bit strange, let's stop with the one-on-one tricks."
Mal'Ganis floated forward silently, and a dense aura of cursed light began to lock onto Lin Tian.
After Lin Tian effortlessly neutralized Gruul's ultimate attack and mocked him, the four Abyss Generals finally put aside their internal differences and decided to join forces against the enemy!
The tense atmosphere instantly reached its peak!
The combined aura of four lord-level powerhouses locking onto one person creates immense pressure that could cause even an ordinary hero-level powerhouse to lose their mind.
Celia felt the palpable killing intent, her breath caught in her throat, and she looked nervously at Lin Tian.
However, facing this combined offensive that could change the very heavens and earth, Lin Tian showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a faint, cold smile appeared on his lips.
The Star-Devouring Staff in his hand seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit, and the spinning speed of its pitch-black core at the top quietly increased, as if a hungry beast had opened its mouth.
"It should have been done long ago," Lin Tian murmured to himself.
The next moment, he launched the first attack!
The swing of the staff was no longer a single skill, but rather like the conductor's baton of a symphony, setting the stage for destruction!
Astral Imprisonment!
The first thing to arrive is a powerful control field!
Beneath Sasorvar and Mal'Ganis' feet, an area with a radius of fifteen meters was briefly covered by an astral field, and icy star damage erupted, attempting to forcibly freeze these two spellcaster and curse mastermen!
Sasovar reacted extremely quickly, the skull at the top of his staff spewing out thick shadows to counteract the power of the Star Imprisonment, and he retreated rapidly.
Mal'Ganis's spirit form became ethereal in an attempt to evade the force field's influence, but his speed was still noticeably slowed down.
Almost simultaneously, the terrifying gravitational field of [Universal Pull] was generated between Gruul and Saheras, the powerful pulling force causing them to lose their balance and their attack rhythm to be instantly disrupted!
"Roar!" Gruul roared, resisting gravity with brute force.
Shahras, like a slippery fish, used gravity to change direction, her double blades drawing strange arcs as she attacked Lin Tian from the side!
But Lin Tian's real killing move followed immediately!
【Starstorm】!
The void above the canyon was once again violently torn apart, and three enormous astral rifts suddenly opened, unleashing destructive stellar energy like a celestial river pouring down, covering the Sasolvar and Malganis regions affected by [Astral Imprisonment], as well as the direction where Gruul and Sahras were gathered by [Universal Attraction]!
