Quadruple split.

Chapter 2324 Blasphemy & Destroying the City

Gu Xiaole was killed in the battle.

  As the absolute core and super explosive point of [Haunted Church], no one would have expected that this great Onmyoji would be eliminated so early. In other words, although she was eliminated nearly two and a half hours into the game, considering the number of remaining players on both sides at this moment, at least on paper, this is a match point level result!

In other words, in everyone's opinion, a player like Gu Xiaole should be the one who should fight hard to survive to the end in [Haunted Church]. After all, compared with others, whether it is the benefits he brings to his own side or the threats he creates to the enemy, this great Onmyoji is undoubtedly the first choice.

Indeed, many people, including most professional players, think that Black Brahma Priest is the core of the team, but just like when facing [Windbreaker] in the semi-finals, Mo Tan has proved with results that it is not necessary to activate the command position throughout the whole process to crush the opponent with "tactics". On the contrary, a versatile player like Gu Xiaole with extremely strong comprehensive strength is a real threat to the enemy team every minute he is on the court.

So if you only look at the data, even if people notice that Mika on the opposite side also died at the same time, it does not prevent everyone from thinking that [Haunted Church] suffered a great loss.

But putting aside the data, even those outsiders who don’t usually pay much attention to the gaming field would not find Gu Xiaole’s death so surprising.

In fact, just before the great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole was eliminated, Lin Dong, who also belonged to the [Haunted Church], had already interrupted the [Ghost Soldiers Borrowing the Passage] and left the front line early under the cover of the soldiers behind him, leaving Gu Xiaole alone on the banks of the Samler River to maintain her [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] and [Twelve Hour Bridge].

  The reason was simple. As the battle became more intense, the defenders of Black Onyx City seemed to have realized that this was a war that absolutely, absolutely, absolutely could not be lost. It had nothing to do with loyalty and honor. However, under the high-frequency attacks of those death squads, everyone in the city was very sure that if the other side was allowed to break into the city, and Ms. Diana Blaisen was not in the city at all, the furious King Nightless would most likely order a massacre. So even though there were fewer and fewer people and the city was becoming more and more difficult to defend, everyone's morale gradually rose!

Just like that, after Lucy spread the news and let everyone know that the other party's traitorous fiancée was not in the city at all, the fighting power of the defenders increased by at least 30%! And each of them became fearless and fearless!

The death squad, who had been carrying out an intense siege for more than two hours, was just the opposite. Although they had already decided to die, it was inevitable that they would feel confused when the final battle suddenly started without any preparation. Even though the military orders were as firm as a mountain, no one wanted to survive until now, but the morale was getting lower and lower as time went by.

In addition, [Invasion Like Fire] will add a layer of DEBUFF [Prolonged Attack] to all siege units every half hour, making the situation even worse. Up to now, [Haunted Church] and NPCs in the same camp have cumulatively deducted 40% of their damage and 40% of their defense, and also have to bear an additional 40% skill cooldown. The situation is already quite grim.

Putting aside the data loss that is very intuitive to the players, for NPCs, the intuitive feeling of these DEBUFFs is that their bodies become tired and fragile, so that the frequency, intensity and resistance to attacks are greatly reduced, and these phenomena will naturally affect morale, causing their combat effectiveness and fighting will to further decline.

I can only say that it was fortunate that it only 'affected' morale. If the effect of [Prolonged siege] had included an additional text of 'slight decline in morale', at this moment, even if these death warriors would not mutiny, they would most likely give up on themselves and seek death.

The biggest contributor to dragging the game to this extent is naturally the Sailor Moon's thick earth dragon Christina, who possesses a fault-level defense and super high mobility. Because she was temporarily given the Blood Seeking Emblem by the system, under Lucia's constant dispatch, she took the initiative to turn on the "Minors' Sensory Protection Mode" from the moment the opponent attacked, adding a layer of cartoon filter to the desperate battle situation around her, and then began to gallop over the Black Onyx City, taking on the work of a firefighter.

She spewed out mutated dragon breath on the east city wall, strengthening her own NPCs and greatly improving their ability to withstand attacks. They could even use their bodies to resist swords, flames, and arcane spells with slightly weaker power.

She patrolled and mopped up a large area of ​​the western city wall, constantly compressing the enemy's footing space and making it difficult for them to gain a foothold before the elites who had been swarmed by blood arrived.

She passed through the north wall at an incredible speed, not giving any chance to the scouts who tried to go into the city and open the north gate. Although she did not kill even one person, the morale of the side with the dragon was naturally boosted in the battlefield on the north wall where both sides had the least number of people. As a result, even if Christina did nothing, those defenders who were so excited would not be suppressed.

As for the south city wall facing the army of King Wu Ye, it is where Christina stays most often. Not only her, but also Lucia and Mika have hardly ever left here. Even if the three of them are here, the south city wall and the south gate are still in a shaky and precarious situation.

There was no way. Although the three of them were the strongest among the defenders and had an additional health limit equal to the city's defense value, even so, the role they could play on the front battlefield was still not big enough. As a must-fight place where the opponent had invested almost 60% of their combat power, it was a miracle that the southern city defense line could hold out to this extent.

In the final analysis, no matter how high the morale of the defenders was, even if the soldiers under King Wuye were stacked up in four layers and [could not be conquered for a long time], due to the huge gap in numbers, Black Onyx City, which had lost its [quarry], was still in crisis at all times, and the slightest carelessness would lead to devastating consequences.

And in this process, the absolute main force of the [Haunted Church], the great Yin-Yang Master Gu Xiaole, played an extremely terrifying and crucial role. Even Christina could hardly be compared with him.

There is no need to elaborate on the reasons. When the twelve long bridges built by the Great Onmyoji on her own suddenly rose up, turning the turbulent Samler River into a smooth road, she became the biggest thorn in the eyes of the defenders and the deepest thorn in their flesh.

Moreover, it is not only used to clear the way. Under the effect of [One Hundred Demons Night Parade], each death soldier will gain a series of buffs from various shikigami when crossing the long bridge. Considering that Gu Xiaole is controlling hundreds of shikigami at the same time, when the first batch of death soldiers rushed into the close defense zone of Black Agate City and the subsequent troops had to enter in batches, he did not attack at all. Instead, he started the festival of "One Hundred Demons" and showed their magical powers, and through "blessing", the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was increased by more than 20%.

  Don't underestimate these 20%. Converted into absolute data, this is about % of the strength which can almost offset two layers of [Unable to Siege], ensuring that the attackers can put enough pressure on the enemy throughout the whole process!

The position that was forcibly created by the two great Yin-Yang arts, [One Hundred Demons Night Parade] and [Twelve Hour Bridge], is called——

[Pseudo-Inherent Boundary: Chaotic Hundreds of Rituals, Soul-Pulling Night Ceremony]

It has to be said that as the strongest Onmyoji of the younger generation, although Gu Xiaole has suffered repeated setbacks since she 'returned to her hometown', her strength and comprehension are definitely at the ceiling level among her peers. So when she worked hard to improve her strength because of her serious preparation for the [Questioning Debate], the [Personal Strength Ranking] that was closed a month in advance was no longer of any reference to her.

As a special case among players, 'Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole', who was ranked 13th in the personal list when the list was closed, should actually be in the fifth place at this moment... just after Xinglong!

  Not only that, although his individual "strength" is not as good as Ji Xiaodao and Xinglong who are ranked third and fourth respectively, and cannot be compared with Cordova, but with [White Zetsu·Shura Hell] in hand, Gu Xiaole, whose realm has reached "epic" before his strength, is extremely powerful in auxiliary ability, enough to be compared with Cordova's absolute strength and Christina's super defense!

As for the huge consumption brought by [Pseudo-Inherent Barrier: The Chaotic Hundreds of Rituals and the Soul-Calling Night Festival], it was solved by Gu Xiaole in an extremely simple and rough way.

To put it in a nutshell - military solution.

To be more precise, when Gu Xiaole activated the inherent barrier, he directly summoned the uncontrollable 'Samurai Soul', and forcibly transformed his body into a 'super spirit body' and forcibly merged with it, and then transformed himself into a very special 'spiritual body' form. Life, physical energy, magic power, spiritual power and other resources were all converted into [Soul Power], and under the influence of his epic realm, it was deducted at a very, very, very slow speed.

Under this premise, unless Gu Xiaole possesses enough [Legendary]-level strength to reshape her body, she will have completely lost her support and will inevitably face the end of her [soul power] being exhausted and her soul being scattered.

  Simply put, it means death. However, just like Jiawen's [Sin Bullet], Yuying's [Life-Sacrificing Blow], Mo's [Reverse Scales] and [Herrscher's Will], due to the special nature of [Guilt Debate], this high-cost method that has almost no chance of appearing under normal circumstances can be used unscrupulously!

In this way, Gu Xiaole almost sacrificed himself to forcibly continue the offensive, while Yi Dong left the front line without hesitation after the duration of [Ghost Soldiers Borrowing the Road] ended. He had completed the transportation of three elite troops and added an extremely strong buff effect [Visitors from the Underworld] to them. If he stayed here, he would be useless except for providing the opponent with a focus point.

At this point, there were only fifteen minutes left before the full two and a half hours of the game!

Fifteen minutes later, the [Haunted Church] camp will be forced to stack the fifth layer of [Unable to Attack for a Long Time] as a system task penalty, causing the attack and defense of all people and NPCs to be halved. As for the [Sailor Moon] side, the gain BUFF [Fight of a Trapped Beast] activated by 'Breaking the City' will be unlocked, gaining a terrifying numerical bonus.

At this moment on the front line, both Lucy and Gu Xiaole knew very well that this would probably be the last round of "one side gains while the other loses". If the former were to drag the advantage to the 150th minute, the attacker's hope of victory would be very slim. On the contrary, if the assassins under King Wu Ye finally succeeded in breaking the city, not only would the opponent be given the DEBUFF [Low Morale], but the [Haunted Church] camp would also gain the extremely powerful [Momentum], which would instantly restore them to their full health, mana, and stamina, and even their skill cooldowns would be forcibly cleared.

However, for the defenders, it is almost an impossible task to continue to hold on for fifteen minutes under such circumstances. You must know that under the opponent's reckless attack, the defense value of [Black Onyx City] has dropped to 3700 points, which is less than one percent of the starting point of the game. Not only are Lucia and Mika in a 'head-up dead' state with the loss of extra health points, even Christina's health has dropped to less than %. At this moment, Gu Xiaole has ordered the Shikigami to give up on continuing to apply BUFF to the dead soldiers. After most of the troops have completed crossing the river, he ordered hundreds of Shikigami under his command to directly participate in the attack on the city!

However, it was after he lost the protection of the surrounding shikigami that Gu Xiaole's weakness was discovered by Lucy who was far away on the city wall.

spirit body.

She is a spirit.

The state of the soul in a broad sense.

"Mimi!"

With only half of the bell tower left, Lucia turned her head and looked at Mika: "The divine punishment of your Sun Cult is that the sun fire bestowed by Tisu during the initial baptism will explode from the inside of the blasphemer, directly burning his body and soul to ashes, right!"

Mika was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "It seems so, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Do you know the details of blasphemy?"

"what?"

"Forget it. When I say 'curse' later, you can just curse the ancestors of the Sun God."

"What?"

Before Mika could react, he felt a nauseating dizziness and heard Lucia's voice in his ear, who knows whether it was half a second, half a minute or half an hour later.

"scold!"

"Tie Su Lao I #@ you &% ■■￥!"

  boom--! ! !

The next moment, accompanied by the explosion of dazzling golden-red sun flames, Mika, who was grabbed by Lucia's arm and teleported to Gu Xiaole's side, was swallowed up by a surge of divine power in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the great Onmyoji who was nearby was also burned by the sun flames. He only had time to let out a short cry before he was turned into nutrients by the irresistible divine power and was burned to death like the Forsaken God who was already dead!

Lucia turned into a blood-red shadow the moment she issued the order, and returned to the top of the [Black Onyx City] like lightning. Although she was also touched by a little fire, she still avoided being eliminated directly.

At the same time, with Gu Xiaole's elimination, the hundreds of Shikigami that were bombarding the city walls and gates disappeared in an instant, and hundreds of death warriors who suddenly lost their cover were also blasted away from the city gates by Lucia using dozens of scorching rays that fell from the sky!

……

fifteen minutes later

  Game time AM04:47

With a loud bang, the south gate of [Black Onyx City] shattered, and along with the defenders behind it, it was blown to pieces by dozens of spellcasters under King Wuye.

In the [Haunted Church], the special side quest [Invasion Like Fire] has been completed!

It lasted one hundred and fifty-one minutes.
