Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 944 A pain in the back, a chill in the chest

Beneath the petrified giant sunflower, a great battle instigated by the awakened beings of both sides thus began.

On one side were human exploration and adventure teams, outnumbered and powerful.

On one side, the Naga personal guards came prepared and were well-trained.

In terms of basic combat strength, the two sides are roughly equal.

On the human side, the Covenant team had set up a "Holy Barrier" in advance, which could provide friendly forces with weapon enchantments that grant holy damage, provide additional damage reduction for holy defense, and the barrier also had the effect of trapping enemies, preventing them from breaking out. It could be said that they had a great advantage in terms of terrain.

For the Naga side, General Vorenzo, as the only leader-level powerhouse present, along with the strength of Prince Rothergal himself, are their greatest assets.

General Vorenzo spread his arms wide, and the [Deep Sea Pressure] domain expanded, covering the entire battlefield in deep blue!
Within the range of deep-sea pressure, all human warriors felt as if they were in deep water, and the heavy pressure caused their movement speed and attack speed to decrease to a moderate degree!
On the other hand, the Naga felt incredibly comfortable being in the deep sea, completely at ease, making their attacks and movements even smoother.

General Vorenzo's domain skill completely negated the effects of the sacred barrier array, reversing the disadvantage in terms of terrain.

"The barrier is shrinking!"

Under Sadin's command, the several Gaia generals who controlled the sacred barrier array moved forward simultaneously, as if dragging a heavy object, moving slowly, with the air in front of them seemingly presenting immense resistance.

The area of ​​the sacred barrier array gradually shrank, while the pale golden light grew stronger, clearly indicating that the power within the barrier was increasing!

When the Gaia Major Generals who controlled the magic arrays reached their limit, the barrier had shrunk by half, and the damage enchantment and fixed damage reduction inside were doubled!
Thanks to the efforts of several Gaia Major Generals who controlled the magic array, they finally managed to neutralize General Vorenzo's domain skill. The lower-ranking soldiers on both sides fought back and forth in the narrow magic array space.

The balance of power in a battle clearly depends on the strength of the high command.

The Covenant forces besiege General Vorenzo and Prince Rothergal!

Sardin is truly skilled; his [Dawn's True Meaning Prototype] can increase the priority of allies' precious "Holy Attribute Skills" by 1 point, while also absorbing the holy energy of allies to increase his own priority.

Clad in plate armor, he charged at the forefront, his body covered in tangible holy flames. Prince Rothergal's numerous fragmented sword energies were all attracted and dissipated by the holy flames, rendering them ineffective against Sardin.

What made Sardin wary was General Vorenzo's double-pronged fork. The boss-level BOSS's every move was powerful and heavy, and Sardin could not completely reduce the damage by relying on the holy flames on his body; he could only barely parry and block.

However, Sardin has his own methods for dealing with this kind of boss. Every time he takes an attack, he takes a half-step back to absorb the force. When the boss finishes its attack, he takes another half-step forward at lightning speed, always ensuring that he doesn't lose his position!
"I see, borrowing the divine energy of my teammates to strengthen myself..."

Prince Rothergal sneered, "Then eliminate your teammates first! General Vorenzo, you hold him off for me!"

As they spoke, Prince Rothergal's four blue crystal rapiers unleashed countless blue sword shadows, like a blue raging tide sweeping out, engulfing Sardin's teammates, including his brother Alvarez.

Several teammates simultaneously felt the threat of death. Surrounded by the raging tide of blue sword shadows, they were like fish on a chopping board, about to have their scales ripped off alive!
This ability to influence and affect the opponent's state of mind through one's own artistic conception... is undoubtedly a nascent skill of true intent, and it is on the path of turning the false into the true.

Fine wounds appeared on their bodies, with drops of blood seeping out.

Sardin raised his hand, his large hand glowing with golden flames reaching out, a powerful suction force drawing the blue, raging sword shadows towards him to shield his teammates from the attack! Life Ultimate Skill: Hand of Sacrifice: Shields up to five allies from an impending attack, and the pull damage you take is reduced by an additional 45%. Your lost health will grant your teammates a shield equal to 10 times your lost health. (Integrated with +4, +7, +10 effects)

However, before Sardin stood another Naga leader, Vorenzo!
The double-pronged fork thrust out in a spiral, unleashing a spiraling water blade! This water blade pierced through the golden flames protecting Sardin's body with unstoppable force, and the powerful battle aura slammed heavily into Sardin's chest.

[Vortex Abyss Strike: Vorenzo wields his twin forks, unleashing a spiral of water blades that inflicts heavy cutting damage and applies shield-breaking, knockback, and interrupt effects.]

The knockback effect was triggered, and Sardin staggered back seven or eight steps.

The added interruption effect is merely a data-driven description; in reality, it is far more powerful. The principle behind the interruption is to use the extremely penetrating [Tidal True Meaning] to send battle qi energy into the target's body, reversing the energy cycle within the target's body!
Against an opponent whose energy level is far inferior, this move can not only interrupt their attacks and skills, but also cause considerable internal injuries, reducing the opponent's energy circulation efficiency.

Sardin spat out blood.

"Damn it, the boss of the Ascended Dimension is too hard to fight! Even with the help of my teammates' energy and the attack power boost from the King-level Purple Weapon 'Repentance' Greatsword, I'm still being crushed by the boss! I really can't afford to be distracted by protecting my teammates..."

Without Sardin's restraint, Prince Rothergal's Scales Blade was even more powerful, with countless fine sword shadows almost skinning Alvarez and the others alive!
The excruciating pain, akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death, is far more terrifying than a quick, decisive blow. Although it doesn't result in an instant kill, watching one's health plummet is even more despairing.

Fortunately, these people were not weak either, and together they summoned a phantom of a golden-armored angel! The golden-armored angel spread its wings and sheltered them.

[Ancient Kings' Guardian: Summons the energy avatar of the Ancient Temple's Kings' Guardian, granting you protection. The Ancient Kings' Guardian will absorb (8000) points of external damage for you and provide 30% damage reduction for the duration.]

"Quickly, use Holy Flame Cross Slash!"

Protected by the ancient kings, Alvarez shouted loudly and, along with several other Covenant generals, simultaneously unleashed the [Holy Flame Cross Slash]!
The energy they unleashed caused the golden-armored angel to raise his greatsword, crisscrossing and unleashing a holy, golden-red cross-shaped slash.

"The bastards of the Holy Covenant Temple... they're disgusting!"

Prince Rothergal was filled with rage. One-on-one, neither Sardin nor these others were a match for him. But the Awakened Ones of the Covenant Temple excelled at teamwork, achieving a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

Faced with the cross slash unleashed by the ancient kings' guards, Prince Lor'thergal could only focus all his energy on dealing with it. He combined his four blue crystal swords into one, and the tips of the swords blocked the core of the golden-red cross slash.

Boom! A shockwave, like Mars colliding with Earth, rippled outwards, shattering the golden-red cross slash from Prince Rothergal.

Moreover, the subsequent backlash caused several major generals from the Holy Covenant Hall to stagger backward, disrupting the energy coordination. The golden-armored angels flickered on and off, as if they were about to dissipate at any moment.

"Hmph, a bunch of hydras, nothing special!"

Prince Rothergal scoffed, taking a deep breath as he prepared to kill the men before him once he had regained his composure.

However, just as he was inhaling, he suddenly felt a pain in his back and a chill in his chest.

A sharp halberd tip pierced through his chest.
