Chapter 1015 - Chapter 1015 Chapter 1015 The Battle Begins

Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: The Battle Begins Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015: The Battle Begins As the Countess spoke, everyone felt a moment of disorientation, and then they found themselves on a platform atop the tower, where some could even see the distant scenery.

“Foolish mortals, are you ready to embrace death?” A woman appeared in the center, clothed in an ancient, luxurious noblewoman’s robe. This woman seemed very youthful, akin to a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maiden, yet one could also sense the seductive charms of a mature woman, creating a strangely stunning impression.

“Your lover is already dead; maintaining the Blood Pool now holds no meaning.” Li Yao retorted, “Even if your beauty remains unchanged for tens of thousands of years, without someone you care about to admire it, it’s all in vain. Besides, why continue to fight for Hell?”

“What do you know? Although my lover is dead, his soul remains, and the Lord Demon has promised to help me revive him,” said the Countess, glancing back at the Blood Pool.

“Indeed, the Death Angel does control souls, but since they’ve taken Heaven so many years ago, why haven’t they revived him yet?” Li Yao continued to question.

The Countess’s expression changed, “It’s because of you people, hindering the Demon’s plan. Once I remove the obstacles and the Demon truly revives, my lover will naturally return to my side, and we will both attain immortality.”

“Immortality, sustained by the blood of others. Not to mention whether your so-called stranger can revive the Dwarf who’s been dead for so many years, the price of immortality for both of you is too great,” Li Yao sighed and said, “I thought there might be a chance for you to turn back, it seems I was mistaken.”

You You sighed softly, “What a pity, no matter where, fate is always so unfair.”

A touch of sorrow flashed in Tong Tong’s eyes as she clutched You You’s hand.

Li Yao hadn’t expected the Countess’s story to remind You You of her own tragic past. Soon after You You married her husband, he and her in-laws perished in an airship accident–a catastrophe leaving no survivors.

It should be noted that those who died were no ordinary people; they were all influential figures. Back when Li Yao had just started college, the incident was a huge scandal, and the largest aerospace company at that time was disbanded because of it.

In a family now left with only the young Tong Tong and a newlywed bride, You You did not fall but instead, picked herself up, took over the family enterprise, and grew it even further.

In reality, You You came from a very affluent background as well, and even after becoming a widow, there were countless people who sought her hand in marriage. Moreover, she had no need to shoulder the soon-to-be fragmented family business.

But You You did not choose that path; she refused the new marriage arranged by her parents for the sake of Tong Tong, even at the cost of falling out with her own family.

And to seize the family wealth, members of Tong Tong’s family resorted to every imaginable tactic, nearly tearing the family apart.

However, Li Yao managed to use the remaining assets to grow the enterprise several times larger than before in just a few years, her wealth ranking among the very top even among two hundred billion people.

Those who had distanced themselves from You You and thought they had profited from the division of wealth didn’t know how much they’d come to regret it.

But accumulating wealth was not You You’s ambition; everything she did was for Tong Tong.

Li Yao knew clearly that only when Tong Tong came of age did she learn the assets were all in her name. This story became legendary, and countless people admired You You’s character.

She was merely Tong Tong’s sister-in-law, yet she treated Tong Tong as her own daughter.

Li Yao had once marveled at You You’s devoted love.

Unexpectedly, with his rebirth, he involved himself with their lives. That’s exactly why Li Yao trusted her implicitly to manage the guild.

“Time has come to send you on your way,” said the Countess, her body suddenly engulfed in flames.

“Yes, it’s time for you to move on,” Sister Li’s eyes, once dimmed with sorrow, regained their brilliance. “The dead have passed away, and only by living well can the departed find peace. Hurting innocent people because of your personal mistakes and obsessions will not be forgiven by your loved one. Ask yourself, your lover guarded the gates of hell for the kingdom, for the race, and now you have become the claws of hell. Even if you revive him, he would be pained to execute you.”

“I don’t believe it. You all can die,” the Countess’s eyes suddenly flashed.

Boom, boom, boom…

A series of fireballs hurtled toward everyone.

Countess

Rank: Fourth-tier Faction Leader

Attributes: Determined by team alignment

Skills: Fireball Series, Heavenly Fire Meteor, Fire Wall, Sea of Flames, Fire Explosion, Group Incineration, Fire Phoenix.

These were the details Li Yao could see, and due to his presence, the System had adjusted the Countess’s health to a terrifying five million.

This health adjustment was based on Li Yao’s super pets, and more importantly, against the boss’s armor and magic resistance, Li Yao at most could only inflict a couple of thousand points of damage to the Countess. Sister Li and the others already dealt formidable damage, but it only amounted to two or three hundred points. Coupled with the boss’s fearsome health regeneration, it would take a considerable amount of time to kill the Countess.

In other words, in the main storyline instance, and not outside, the Countess was an extremely terrifying super boss. This was a new mechanic, as bosses didn’t gain attributes with improved gear but were instead judged based on summons, which wouldn’t apply outside but did within main storyline instances, presenting a restriction for the formidable summoning professions.

Due to Li Yao’s presence, the boss’s health had increased by two million, showing the System’s judgment.

Tianxiang reacted very quickly, throwing her umbrella out the moment the boss attacked.

The umbrella, filled with classic Chinese charm, suddenly opened and spun above the head of Fruit Knight, showering him in peach-colored petals that enveloped him.

The Fruit Knight also put up a Magic Shield and then took a step to the left, directly blocking the fireball.

Pop, pop, pop, pop…

As the fireballs continually bombarded, the Fruit Knight kept retreating, his health plummeting crazily.

Tongtong immediately set down a Flame Totem, with Fire Element standing directly in front of Fruit Knight.

The Fire Element burst into pieces with each impact of the fireballs. The presence of the totem meant it couldn’t kill the Fire Element, but it was shattered time and again.

“These fireballs are too powerful. They’re all the same, so why does each one cause more damage than the last?” Tianxiang said while healing Fruit Knight.

Meanwhile, everyone else went all-out in their attack on the boss. There was limited space at this high tower, and Li Yao could only summon 4000 Fire Eagles and Death Gods at most. Summoning larger creatures meant they would lose space to move and dodge, which was less ideal.

Li Yao looked around and said, “Fruit, step into the Fire Wall. Tianxiang, focus on healing. I’ll observe for a bit.”…
