Original God's Dark Priest

Chapter 921 White-hot

"Are there any more doctors? More wounded!" shouted the people temporarily stranded near the arena.

Ying, Xiao Paimeng, and Jiang Li all looked in the direction of the voice and saw a gray-haired woman rush over: "I'm a doctor! I can help!"

Someone nearby shouted, "Another group of people is coming from the south; they seem to be carrying supplies."

"I'll go meet them! Leave it to me!" A young man quickly ran out and led the newly arrived team to the gathering place.

Looking at the chaotic scene, Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Although they are disheveled and exhausted, there is light in their eyes."

“Yes, that’s a good thing. They didn’t give up hope when they were in despair.” Paimon nodded. “I also have faith in Nata’s future.”

Jiang Li echoed the same sentiment: "We will win, we definitely will."

"I think I know what to do!" Ying led Paimon to the medical department, and after briefly demonstrating the healing abilities of the White Chalk Sword, she was accepted by the members of the medical department and began to treat the wounded.

Looking at Ying, who was never still for a moment, Jiang Li remarked with emotion: "This is what it means to be a chosen worker... I used to be like that too. I practically turned Teyvat upside down for a few Primogems."

In the command center, Parr had a sudden thought and said, "The latest battle report has arrived."

Saffir immediately looked at Pal. What she wanted most right now was news about the Suspended Wood People and the Flower Feather Society. There was still no news from Mavica, Beidou, Kinich, and Arecino. Even though she had confidence in them, she couldn't help but worry.

Pal's expression was grim: "This is not good news. There's still no news from the Suspended Wood People and the Flower Feather Society. I'm afraid the battle isn't over yet, and on the outskirts..."

"Tsk, there are signs of an explosive increase in the number of Abyss Gates."

"What? That thing can actually grow explosively?" Gulab's pupils contracted slightly.

Safiel remained unmoved, merely nodding slightly: "It was expected." She looked at Gulab, "We must prepare for the worst, otherwise we'll easily lose our composure if something unexpected happens, which is not good."

Gulab pursed his lips, a hint of shame appearing on his handsome face: "I'm sorry, Lord Safiel."

Saffir shook his head: "It's not your fault. You just underestimated the power of the abyss."

At this moment, the Abyss Gate had spread to the vicinity of the Holy Flame Arena, which meant that a new wave of Abyss offensive had begun.

Leaning her small body against the large broadsword, she coldly stared at the abyss gate that seemed to appear out of thin air, then took a deep breath and forcefully pulled out the sword.

She's about to start fighting again.

This time, along with the Abyss Gate appeared countless Fire Axe Hilichurl Thugs, Thunder Axe Hilichurl Thugs, various Hilichurl Shamans, and even Hilichurl Rangers and Ruin Heavy Machines simulated by Abyss energy.

Due to the unique nature of abyssal energy, ordinary attacks are rarely effective against these abyssal monsters. Warriors can only slightly restrain them, and then those with ancient names use attacks imbued with the properties of Night Soul to deliver the fatal blow.

This is the Nata people's consistent method of fighting against the Abyss.

However, leaving is unnecessary.

Or rather, the piercing blade in her hand was unnecessary.

The simple, unadorned slashes not only cleaved through the flesh and blood of the monsters, but also the abyssal energy covering their bodies.

"Flesh and blood, mecha shells, energy shields, what other abilities do you have? Bring them all out! Let my Bone-Piercing Technique teach you what it means to pierce through!" Jiang Li dragged Bone-Piercing Technique around the field, using the momentum of running to leap up and launch a piercing attack from above.

Each attack is guaranteed to kill a monster, making it both efficient and fast.

But this time the situation was different from the past. She discovered that whenever the people here killed a monster, the Abyss Gate would summon another monster, and the number of monsters on the field was always kept at a fixed level.

“This won’t do. We can’t kill all the demons, but we have limited manpower. If this goes on for too long, we will inevitably be defeated.” Jiang Li immediately realized the problem.

Just then, the messenger in charge of this area shouted: "Warriors with ancient names, please concentrate your forces to attack the Abyss Gate! The command center has analyzed that only attacks of the Night Soul nature can destroy the Abyss Gate. I repeat, only attacks of the Night Soul nature can destroy the Abyss Gate!"

The ancient warriors concentrated their strength to destroy the boundary gate, while the rest held off the demons!

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes lit up. She slashed at the Abyss Gate not far away. The force of the slash was so great that it shook the Abyss Gate. After the shaking, the Abyss Gate seemed to have been unaffected and even summoned a demon.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li understood that Che Gu could not ignore the protection of the Abyss Gate.

She snorted and quickly retreated, intending to kill the monsters. But after she killed a few, she heard a commotion from the Abyss Gate: "No, this damned Abyss Gate keeps summoning monsters! We can't concentrate our forces to destroy it!"

These words startled the surrounding warriors. In the next second, several of them were injured or even killed by the monster because they didn't have time to react.

"This can't go on! We have to think of something, damn it, we need to think of something right now!" After quickly rushing forward and clearing out a group of monsters, Jiang Li commanded, "Everyone retreat! Reorganize the ranks, I'll hold off the monsters here for now!"

Summoning monsters through the Abyss Gate also takes time. Speeding up the monster-killing process gives the warriors time to regroup.

Ying also ran out at this moment, because the newly added wounded made her realize that something had changed outside.

Seeing the overwhelming horde of monsters, Ying drew her weapon without hesitation, ready to join the battle, but Jiang Li stopped her: "Ying, don't join the fight yet, I have an idea..."

She quickly explained the problems Ying was facing, and Ying nodded repeatedly, beginning to organize the people here to divide the work and cooperate.

Jiang Li's idea was simple: the Abyss Gate was the most crucial element. However, it would be difficult to access the Abyss Gate without killing the Abyss Monsters. But if the Abyss Monsters were killed, the Abyss Gate would be summoned again, maintaining a sufficient number of monsters.

Therefore, what they need to do now is not to kill the monsters, but to clear the monsters around the Abyss Gate. They don't necessarily have to kill them, but to drive the monsters away from the Abyss Gate, and then organize people to destroy the Abyss Gate.

Soon, Ying led her men to begin implementing the battle plan.

Fortunately, Nata's soldiers were highly skilled in combat. They quickly understood Ying and Jiang Li's meaning and used all their skills to lure the burly abyssal monsters away. Then, an elite squad composed of ancient warriors began to destroy the abyssal gate.

Xinoning happened to be on this battlefield; she was the captain leading the Ancient Name Elite Squad.

Watching Jiang Li calmly and methodically give pre-battle commands, she couldn't help but sigh: "Ying told me before that Aurora was very good at raising children, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see this little girl, I believe it. How could an ordinary person raise such a capable child?"

At such a young age, he's already capable of commanding a battlefield, quickly identifying problems, and devising solutions. Truly a promising young talent…

Through their concerted efforts, the Abyss Gates were destroyed one by one.

A while later, Kazina, Marani, and others joined the battle. Seeing them arrive with their people, Ying knew that the civilians of the Streamers and the Echo Children had already evacuated.

A while later, Cetalli and Orloren arrived at the Holy Fire Arena with the Lord of Smoke and Mystery's men, and the warriors of Nata gradually completed their assembly.

However, the situation on the battlefield has not improved and is even showing signs of worsening.

Saffir had already arrived at the Olympic flame. Both she and Veronica had a bad feeling, but they didn't know what would happen.

Suddenly, purple mist began to spread, and the Sacred Flame Arena was plunged into a deep purple ocean.

Veronica frowned: "Oh no, the Olympic flame is about to..."

"This is!" Saffir immediately reached out and took Veronica out of the sacred fire, along with the Heart of the Vulcan that Mavica had left there.

The moment they left the sacred flame, viscous purple energy began to erode it, and then an extremely violent aura began to brew within it.

Then, a deep purple beam of light shot out from the sacred fire platform, striking the sky directly and almost blasting a hole in it.

Saffir looked up and saw that the sky wasn't broken, but the entire sky was dyed a deep purple.

A dark purple-black halo hung high in the sky. The moment it appeared, the aura of the abyss spread outwards from the Holy Fire Arena like a shockwave.

Along with the shockwave, a continuous stream of abyssal portals also spread.

Despite their desperate efforts to kill the monsters, Ying and the others could not resist the seemingly endless call of the Abyss Gate.

Countless Hilichurl Rangers, Hilichurl Rockhelms, Hilichurl Frosthelms, Hilichurl Thunderhounds, Beast Hounds, and Abyss Mages emerged from the suddenly opened purple portal.

Even more shockingly, a five-meter-tall Baptist of Deep Sin appeared before Saffir.

Looking at this arrogant fellow, Saffir's eyes turned cold. Dark Nether Chains appeared and pierced through the chest of the Baptist of Deep Sin, completely disintegrating him into a stream of abyssal energy, which was then absorbed by the Nether Chains and disappeared.

"Has the all-out attack begun?" Saffir ignored the little guy she'd easily dispatched, her gaze fixed on the direction of the Flower Feather Society and the Suspended Wood Man. "Will they make it in time...?"

Outside the Holy Fire Arena, facing the overwhelming horde of monsters, Xinoning took the lead, entering the state of Night Soul Possession, and charged forward.

Her nimble figure moved like a cheetah through the monster horde, each contact as light as a dragonfly skimming the water, yet every abyssal monster she touched would fall and vanish in the next second.

She cleverly avoided the large monsters and focused on clearing out the smaller ones, knowing that her one-handed sword was no match for the larger ones and that it was better to deal with the smaller ones.

Strength is not determined by size. For example, if an Ancient Guardian fights a Hilichurl Ranger, the Ancient Guardian will most likely lose to the Hilichurl Ranger.

Xinoning chose opponents like the Hilichurl Ranger, who are small in size but relatively strong.

After taking down another Hilichurl Ranger, she leaped onto the head of a Hilichurl Rockhelmet, gripped her sword in reverse, and forcefully plunged it into the opponent's neck.

As always, she struck and retreated. After successfully killing the Hilichurl King Rockhelm, Xinoning used her sword to force back a Beast Hound. Just as her old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet been generated, a Hilichurl Ranger seized the opportunity and raised his scimitar to slash at her neck.

Sapphire, who was in the Olympic Arena, was about to intervene when she saw this, but she lowered her hand halfway through because there was no need.

Just as the Hilichurl Ranger's attack was about to land on Xinoning, a one-handed sword with a bluish-black sheen appeared nimbly yet powerfully above her head, successfully blocking the attack.

The next second, the sword's owner forcefully thrust the weapon upwards, knocking the Hilichurl Ranger's weapon away while simultaneously slicing across its neck and head.

The Hilichurl Ranger immediately collapsed and couldn't get up.

Xinoning looked at his savior with some shock, but only saw a figure in a long robe from behind.

It was the captain; he finally arrived with his men.

The battle cries of the Fools' soldiers and the warriors who came from all directions to provide support rang out from the perimeter of the Holy Flame Arena.

The captain's forces included the Thunder Hammer Vanguard, the Wind Fist Vanguard, and the Musketeer Guerrilla...

Sapphire's forces include lightning sorcerers, ice sorcerers, Mirror Maidens, and debt collectors...

One by one, the Fools, some familiar and some unfamiliar, arrived. Running ahead of them all was Ororen, who had entered the state of being possessed by the Night Soul.

When the abyssal monster tried to breathe on him, Nomokonov (the alien triple-star Thunder Hammer Bro) simply raised his giant hammer and slammed it down. One slam wasn't enough, so he added another.

Vasily (the three-star fire gunner) was equally fearless. After using the butt of his gun to repel an Abyss monster that rushed in front of him, he aimed at a Hilichurl Ice Armor King and fired a burst of bullets.

With the help of this batch of Fools' reinforcements, Xinoning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at the captain standing next to her and said, "Thanks."

"The situation is getting worse. Let's hold this position and protect the people's safety." The captain couldn't care less about anything else now; he only wanted to hold the last line of defense.

At this moment, Orlan also came to their side. He looked up at the sky above the Holy Fire Arena, where a dark, hole-like halo of light hung high, exuding an ominous aura.

His brow furrowed: "Nothingness and chaos... is that the abyss...?"

"It seems it knows this is the best opportunity." The captain took a deep breath. At this point, they could only take it one step at a time.

Orlan was somewhat bewildered: "What about the sacred flame?"

“Aurora is guarding there, so there shouldn’t be any problem.” The captain wasn’t entirely sure either, because even he had to be cautious about this concentration of abyssal power.

The three of them quickly sprinted towards the interior of the Sacred Flame Arena.

In the arena, Sapphire was completely engulfed by abyssal energy, while a Vulcan's Heart, shining with dazzling light, floated on her chest.

"If you were here, what would you do?" she murmured to herself, feeling the fluctuations emanating from the Heart of God.

The Heart of God did not respond, and she didn't care; this thing never responded to her.

Fortunately, she had long since given up on that expectation. She didn't need a response; a simple contact would have been enough, and now, that was enough.

Carefully putting away the Heart of God, Saffir raised her right hand, and the Divine Blessing appeared in her palm: "I've been waiting here for so long. I hope you'll be a little bolder so I can find a weakness. Otherwise, if you always cower, I, as your master, won't even know where to begin to clean house."

Saffir's eyes gleamed with gold as he glanced at the battlefield below: "Now, let's give them a little help."

Pron??a, Nobis victoria!

Holy Light Apocalypse!

The war has reached a fever pitch.
