Chapter 1153 - Chapter 1153 Chapter 1155 A Confrontation_1

Chapter 1153: Chapter 1155: A Confrontation_1 Chapter 1153: Chapter 1155: A Confrontation_1 When Song Jian chose to accept the final battle, the entire arena was shrouded in a faint glow. The system had taken full control of this place, to the extent that even the people of Flame Manor temporarily lost any control over it.

Five Abyss players charged onto the stage with intimidating momentum and arrogance. Upon setting foot on the stage, they arranged themselves with warriors at the front and ranged classes at the back in a standard combat squad formation, clearly treating Song Jian as if he were a Boss to defeat.

“Excellent, Great Demon Dattara Bone is watching you!” The Great Demon glanced at the five Abyss players with a trace of a smile on his face. After speaking, its figure turned into a puff of black flames and vanished from the stage.

“Fight!” The leading Abyss player, wielding a battle axe, let out a furious roar and charged towards Song Jian. At that moment, Song Jian’s body suddenly stiffened, his eyes revealing a hint of red as if enraged by hatred. He wildly swung the Sky-breaking Sword, ready to rush at the Abyss player holding the battle axe without a care.

“Forced Hate!” A gasp of surprise rose from the crowd watching below the stage. A smug smile appeared on the faces of several Abyss players.

The player wielding the battle axe had cast a skill of Forced Hate, which could control the opponent for a full ten seconds. Ten seconds was more than enough for them to focus their attacks and kill this human.

However, what they didn’t expect was that in less than a second, the redness in Song Jian’s eyes had already cleared. At the same time, numerous semi-transparent energy swords materialized densely around his body.

“How is this possible?” The Abyss player with a long lizard-like tail exclaimed in shock, yet his hands did not pause in their movements.

A huge Abyss lizard phantom appeared above his head, roaring. As the Abyss player drew his longbow, an arrow glowing with black light shot towards Song Jian, and the Abyss lizard phantom also lunged towards Song Jian following the arrow’s flight.

“Su Lu, use your control skills!” shouted another Abyss player, with a single horn protruding from his forehead, as he quickly retreated.

An Abyss player whose eyes were surrounded by a strange patterned tattoo focused on Song Jian and began chanting in the Abyssal language. The seductive melody spread throughout the arena, affecting not just Song Jian but the spectators below the stage as well.

At this moment, the spectators below the stage, all powerful in their own right, cursed at the Abyss players while enacting their defenses. Had it not been for the protective light curtain around the stage, it’s likely some would have charged onto the stage to give the Abyss players a sound beating.

The Abyssal language is the perfect carrier for enchantment-type skills. No matter the enchantment, if cast in the Abyssal language, its effect is greatly enhanced.

Yet the Abyssal language is a double-edged sword. Players not of the Abyssal Hell species who use the Abyssal language also risk corruption and downfall, so very few non-Abyss players bother to master it.

But for those of the Abyssal Hell lineage, there are no such side effects. Many magic-class professions use the Abyssal language to cast enchantment skills. However, what the Abyss players didn’t anticipate was that Song Jian’s innate skill “Thick Skin” granted him a strong resistance to the Abyssal language. Moreover, Song Jian himself mastered the Abyssal language; therefore, the enchantment had an even weaker effect than the Forced Hate skill previously cast by the axe-wielding warrior.

A scornful sneer appeared on Song Jian’s face as he swung the Sky-breaking Sword in his right hand forward. Countless Spirit Swords flew towards the five players, and the Spirit Swords, burning with dark red flames, made the five Abyss players feel a profound threat. Red Lotus Karma Fire was also known as Purifying Fire, which had a strong restraining effect on the creatures of Abyssal Hell. Combined with the power of Thousand Swords Art, in that moment, the five Abyssal Hell players felt as if they were being bombarded by countless rockets.

To know, several hundred Spirit Swords blazing with Red Lotus Karma Fire possessed much greater power than ordinary rockets. No matter how large the stage, it left the five Abyss players feeling like there was nowhere to hide.

Chaos Light Curtain!

The Abyss player at the very end of the team swung the Bone Wand in his hand, and instantly a murky gray light curtain appeared over the bodies of the five Abyss players.

“Everyone, get behind me!” the Abyss player holding the battle axe roared as he triggered a mechanism on the axe, and immediately, the over two-meter-long two-handed battle axe morphed into a towering shield, over a man’s height and thick, standing erect in front of him.

“Wall of Sigh!” With muscles bulging in his arms, the Abyss player let out a throaty growl and fiercely drove the shield’s pointed base into the hard stone slabs of the arena.

At the same time, a light curtain over three meters in height and more than ten meters wide materialized in front of everyone.

This light curtain slowly became solid from its semi-transparent state, appearing to be constructed of stone blocks, with its mottled traces filled with a sense of historical vicissitude and heaviness.

Seeing this light curtain, the few Abyss players immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was the strongest defensive skill in the team, one that had withstood a Sovereign-level BOSS’s major move. In their view, deploying this skill to counter Song Jian’s Thousand Swords Art felt like an overkill.

“How many of those energy sword bodies do you think can actually harm us?” the Archer with the thick lizard tail asked scornfully.

“With so many, it would be good if one in ten can cause damage. Using the Wall of Sigh feels like a waste, considering it’s a skill with a cooldown of over an hour!” The Abyss Mage at the back said with some regret: “I think my Chaos Shield would have been enough to withstand this move.”

In their opinion, among the densely packed hundreds of Spirit Swords, it was improbable for every single one to cause harm–there should be a great number of illusions.

Boom!

The first Spirit Sword struck the energy defense of the Wall of Sigh, immediately unleashing a thunderous roar, causing the hearts of the five Abyss players to skip a beat!

The durability of the Wall of Sigh dropped slightly, by about one percent.

“It can only withstand around a hundred energy sword bodies’ attack!” the Abyss player wielding the shield shouted, “Pray, pray that the number of real energy swords is less than a fifth, and we’ll be fine!”

However, to everyone’s surprise, the explosive roars continued incessantly, and the durability of the Wall of Sigh visibly plummeted rapidly…

“How, how can this be, how can every energy sword body be real, no!” The Abyss player with strange patterns around his eyes revealed a look of despair, as if he could already smell the scent of death drawing nearer!

Just at that moment, a dazzling red fiery lotus rose from beneath the feet of the five, enveloping them entirely within the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation.
