nAlthough it was only Tier 3 with 3 stars, its self-destruct power was enough to threaten enemies of Tier 4.

nTwo hundred self-detonating water spiders rushed forward, killing seven or eight thousand skeleton monsters, with a casualty ratio as high as 1:40. Among them, three thousand were elite skeleton monsters under Solin’s command.

nSolin was initially surprised but immediately commanded the Skeleton Wyverns circling in the air to take out the remaining two hundred self-detonating water spiders.

nUnder the Necromantic Breath, the self-detonating water spiders didn’t even have a chance to self-destruct and were melted into a puddle of blood.

nSeeing this, a hint of regret flashed in Ji Chen’s eyes.

nIf these remaining two hundred self-detonating water spiders could successfully self-destruct, they could have taken out at least thousands of elite skeleton monsters.

nSeeing the skeleton wyverns take off again without attacking other troops, Ji Chen understood what Solin had in mind.

nBut he couldn’t hold back any longer.

nWith a thought, mana surged from his body.

nHe directly unleashed the Tidal Domain, rising into the air.

nThe water from the swamp surged from all directions around him. Seeing the swamp water floating around him and emitting a nauseating smell, Ji Chen frowned slightly. Without further delay, he immediately manipulated the water into blades.

nThousands of water blades took shape and descended from above.

nMost struck the skeleton monsters, while some were aimed at Solin.

nSolin watched hundreds of water blades coming at him, his mind shaken. He quickly drew the sword from his waist.

nThis finely crafted longsword had a golden gem embedded in the hilt that emitted a golden light, forming an inverted half-circle shield above his head.

nClang! Clang! Without exception, every water blade was deflected by the golden shield, leaving Solin unharmed within it.

nJi Chen’s eyes widened. Soon, his gaze fixed on the sword.

nThat sword was definitely no ordinary item.

nCurrently, his Tidal Dominator was an orange legacy-tier class. Each water blade he condensed possessed the destructive power of a red legacy-tier skill.

nThe fact that the golden shield could withstand hundreds of water blades and remain unscathed meant that the sword must be a high-level treasure.

nIt might even be more powerful than the Dragon Slayer Great Sword…

nThinking this, Ji Chen’s expression grew serious.

nSolin watched as the water blades were deflected and the golden shield remained untouched, and he felt a sense of triumph.

nThis longsword had been acquired by him when he was still a weak white skeleton many years ago, found by chance in the red desert.

nFor hundreds of years, he had not seen any attack capable of breaking through the golden shield generated by the sword. It seemed this time was no exception.

nSolin raised his head to look for signs of human disappointment but was puzzled to find the human’s face carried a hint of a smile instead.

nHad this human lost his mind?

nThen Solin saw Ji Chen pointing at the battlefield. When he turned to look, he was instantly infuriated.

nThe water blades falling like a storm couldn’t break the golden shield, but they were efficiently attacking the skeleton army.

nWater blades that rivaled red legacy-tier skills in damage were causing the skeleton monsters to die or be wounded with each hit.

nCountless skeleton monsters fell under these water blades, one after another.

nDamn it!!

nThis cunning human!

nEven Solin couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy as he saw advanced skeleton monsters falling one by one under the onslaught of water blades that were as powerful as red legacy-tier skills.

nIn his eyes, a fierce flame of gold burned with intense hatred for this human.

nIn his rage, he swung the longsword in his hand towards Ji Chen from a distance.

nA crescent-shaped golden sword light was flung from the tip of his sword with astonishing speed, faster than a bullet. In an instant, it leapt to Ji Chen’s face.

nJi Chen’s pupils contracted greatly. Watching the swiftly approaching sword light, he only had time to slightly tilt his body before being hit.

nAh—

nEven with his formidable willpower, he couldn’t help but cry out in pain. He tightly clenched his right hand, which was covered in blood from his severed left arm.

nThe golden sword light directly severed the portion of his left arm below the break, and the severed arm fell to the ground.

nHearing his cry of pain, a few heroes who were fighting turned instinctively to look. Seeing the scene of Ji Chen’s severed arm, they were instantly horrified.

n“My lord!”

n“Lord!”

n“Don’t worry about me! Keep fighting!!!”

nJi Chen clenched his teeth tightly, suppressing the urge to cry out in pain. Through gritted teeth, he managed to utter his words.

n“But…”

n“This is an order!!!”

nUpon hearing this, the few heroes hesitated briefly before gritting their teeth and continuing to fight, their attacks more vicious. The look in their eyes as they gazed at Solin became filled with murderous intent.

nVeins and tendons stood out on Ji Chen’s forehead, his whole body covered in sweat. But he didn’t pay attention to his severed left arm; he simply stared fixedly at that longsword.

nWhat kind of treasure was this longsword? It was so powerful that he had very little reaction time before being struck.

nFeeling the intense pain surging from his left arm, Ji Chen’s anger flared up, and a sense of determination surged within him.

nFuck, let’s see whether you kill me first or I crack open your turtle shell and turn you into a sieve!

nHis mana started to deplete rapidly. Water condensed into dozens of massive swords, each over ten meters long, and they shot downwards.

nThud—

nThe giant swords collided with the shield, emitting a tremendous sound. The intense surge of energy caused the skeleton monsters within dozens of meters to be thrown back, breaking apart in mid-air.

nSuccessive massive swords struck the shield.

nThe shield remained unscathed, but Ji Chen was undeterred. He brought out a mana pendant to frantically replenish his mana. Mana flowed out of him like water, continuously forming massive swords that were then brought down.

nTwenty massive swords, leaving the shield untouched.

nWith fifty massive swords, a few faint white marks emerged.

nUpon unleashing two hundred massive swords, a nearly invisible fracture materialized on the shield.

nAs four hundred massive swords descended, the fracture widened, becoming visible to the naked eye.

nAt this moment, Solin swung out another golden sword light. However, it was blocked by the shield bracelet Ji Chen had preemptively obtained from Alice. The fatal blow was deflected.

nShield Bracelet (Damaged)

nTier: 3-Star Treasure

nEffect: When subjected to powerful attacks or when life is threatened, actively or automatically generate a shield around oneself to resist magical and physical attacks.

nAlthough it blocked the attack, due to the overwhelming energy, the 3-star treasure shield bracelet was directly damaged and turned into a disposable consumable.

nSeeing this, Ji Chen, who was experiencing physical pain, felt a pang of heartache.

nFifty thousand gold coins just flew away like that!

nAs a result, his gaze towards Solin became even more hostile.

nIf he didn’t manage to kill Solin right here and now, he would have his name spelled backwards!

nCountless massive swords had fallen, and all Ji Chen knew was that his mana was nearly depleted, and there was not a drop left in the mana pendant.

nBut Solin’s golden shield was now covered with cracks, resembling a spider’s web, densely woven and on the verge of shattering.

nJi Chen took a deep breath and controlled the remaining dozen massive swords, dropping them one by one.

nWhen he dropped the twelfth massive sword, with a cracking sound, the shield burst with a resounding explosion, dissipating its energy into the air.

nSolin finally revealed his true form, and his voice sounded extremely sinister.

n“Human, you truly don’t know your place… Since it’s come to this, I can only ensure that your soul is utterly obliterated!”

n“Skeleton Wyverns, annihilate them all! Spare none!!”

nThe Skeleton Wyverns, which had been hovering in the sky all this time and had remained motionless even during the intense attacks, now dived down as ordered. Their mouths slightly agape, as if the next second would unleash a breath of death.

nOnly about sixty-five massive swords remained in the sky now, while fourteen Skeleton Wyverns descended. One massive sword could kill one of them, leaving around eight still intact, enough to inflict significant damage.

nThe heroes had almost exhausted all their abilities.

nThe few Dragon Blood Murlocs and Elemental Sea Pixies capable of aerial attacks attacked the descending Skeleton Wyverns, but the effect was minimal.

nUnder the suppression of tiers, levels, and skill damage reduction, these attacks only slightly slowed down the wyverns’ descent.

nAlice’s face turned pale, her mana nearly depleted. Yet, despite the risk of mana exhaustion, she forced four of the Skeleton Wyverns to lose control of their bodies, causing them to crash heavily onto the ground, incapacitated by severe injuries.

nBut there were still four remaining!

nAt this point, Ji Chen had already landed on the ground to conserve mana. Clutching his severed arm, he looked up at the four growing black dots and took a deep breath.

nHe exerted his last remaining traces of mana.

nToday, he couldn’t possibly die here like this!
