Alone and Infinite

"So what if we do nothing and just wait here—we won't gain anything either?"

"But there is an opportunity—an opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

The captain flicked off his cigarette ash, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's: "We'll just wait here, waiting for the organizers to reveal their trump card themselves."

If there's no opportunity, that's fine; but if there is...

Li Xia suddenly stopped what she was doing, straightened up, and looked around.

A strange feeling was rising in my heart, a warning from my intuition.

Misfortune seemed to have caught a whiff of something; even though luck remained unmoved, it still trembled slightly at the waist.

"go!"

He sheathed his spear without hesitation, even as the corrupted tree golems continued to surge towards him from behind.

Running at full speed, he was already far away from the street in just a short while.

But that strange feeling didn't disappear; on the contrary, it grew heavier and heavier, like dark clouds in the sky.

It's not because of the distance.

what is that?

"My lord, one of the apostles has escaped; it's that lone wolf with the cat."

Guge laughed; what a keen sense of smell.

such a pity.

Thunder Spear. Dragon Scale Armor.

This person should be the top player in the second-tier arena, the second-tier supreme Xia?

Legend has it that this apostle rose to power at an unbelievable speed, directly breaking through the arena with terrifying strength.

Even the original leader was beaten to death in a manner that was almost 'humiliating'.

He probably didn't even realize it himself, because his burning flames were too dazzling.

And then there are those ridiculously powerful close-combat techniques.

The apostles described them as 'those who die the closest they come, like flames.'

Therefore, he was given the nickname 'Summer of the Crimson Lotus'.

Gug licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement.

Being able to watch the first person die under one's own scheme is a thrilling and exhilarating pleasure!

Her once rough skin has become pale and delicate, and the clothes she had long been tired of and disgusted with have been transformed into a magnificent tuxedo.

He elegantly pulled out a parchment shimmering with a deep purple light from his personal space.

The holy light flashing above made Gug narrow his eyes in disgust.

"The show has begun!"

use!

Li Xia's unease suddenly intensified, and misfortune let out an excited hiss.

A hazy white light appeared on my body, carrying a warm power.

It's clearly a positive thing, yet it's terrifying.

Li Xia's eyes widened suddenly. In that split second, he almost instinctively raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground.

Countless runes, as numerous and twisted as tadpoles, spread rapidly from beneath his feet and disappeared into the air.

The previously empty air suddenly began to shimmer.

It seemed as if there were illusory chains crisscrossing in the air.

The white light trembled violently for a while before slowly dissipating.

Li Xia felt her heart pounding violently, and that lingering unease strangely disappeared.

Only then did he have time to check the panel prompts:

[Hint: Temporary raid leader Gug has used the item: Radiant Barrier!]

[Notice: Transmission has been interrupted due to the ban!]

Send!

Aowu and Heitan were just waking up from the shock of what had just happened and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Your Highness, just now—"

Li Xia's expression was somber as he directly shared the panel.

Glorious Bulwark

[Grade: Purple - Ultimate]

[Category: One-time consumable item]

Radiance: Within the barrier, all members will receive 500 health points per second in healing, and their mana regeneration rate will be increased by 100%. It also dispels various abnormal statuses.

Bulwark: Generates a highly durable barrier that can absorb damage and teleports all team members inside. When the barrier is broken, it releases a powerful shockwave that causes widespread damage.

Barrier damage value: Absorbs 80% of damage.

[Evaluation: The walls of heaven will hold back the enemy and heal the wounds.]

"Teleportation??"

Awoo's mouth gaped open, completely unprepared for such a thing. It asked eagerly:

"Your Highness, what's the use of teleporting in? There are over thirty apostles there!"

Furthermore, there are positive buffs within the Light Barrier!

Most importantly, team members must not harm each other!

Li Xia's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, and everything that had happened since the team was formed seemed to flash through his mind like a revolving lantern.

The images gradually came together, and something seemed to be emerging.

"Next step."

Li Xia suddenly turned his gaze to the square. In the distance, a white semi-circular protective wall had risen up. It was a barrier of light formed by a purple, one-time-use scroll!

I quickly glanced at the current team size. Excluding the 'Earthquake Wave Squad' that was wiped out, there were 35 people left!

"The next step is to reduce the number of people to less than 30, but how do we do that?"

With no possibility of mutual harm, reducing the number of people to 35 requires external assistance.

External forces?

if it was me

Li Xia's eyes widened, and an unbelievable thought popped into her head: Could it be...?

With a single movement, it flew directly into the air.

In the distance, a figure emitting a distorted black light flickered incessantly.

As we moved toward the Barrier of Light, it felt as if someone was using their mental power to lure us away every so often.

Damn! Ascended Amodrich!

As expected, the Ascended Amodrich has a peculiar characteristic: it chases after spiritual power.

It's also easy to pull it away. As long as you make good use of this feature, this twisted monster is the easiest dog to summon!

Li Xia's breathing gradually became rapid, and he seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what Gu Ge was going to do next.

He's going to lure Ascended Amodrich into the Light Barrier!

Li Xia didn't know if the Light Barrier could block teleportation, but judging from how easily the previous sealing technique could stop the Light Barrier's teleportation, it was clear that Li Xia was unsure.

Its priority must be very, very low. At least Gug dares to do this, so he is sure that the ascendants will be able to enter the Light Barrier!

But is one Ascended being enough?

Around the plaza, the apostles rose from the ruins like bamboo shoots, their eyes fixed on the Barrier of Light in the center of the plaza.

An atmosphere of a predatory hunt was spreading, and their hearts were pounding.

The apostles' hidden nature rejoiced.

When there is no opportunity, they will lie low and endure, and they will be rational.

But when opportunity presented itself to them...

"They'll become the craziest gamblers ever!"

Gugge had completely changed; he was swirling the crystal glass in his hand, which contained a strange liquid as red as blood.

His sculpted, handsome face was completely devoid of color. He arrogantly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile.

Two sharp fangs were revealed by the movement of the lips:

"I'll stay here and watch—go!"

Two apostles, dressed identically, placed one hand on their chests and bowed deeply.

"Your will, Viscount Gulagg."

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Chapter 216 The Feast Begins!

The pure white light carried a reassuring power, shining warmly on the body.

Even the injuries and lost mana are slowly recovering.

The apostles, however, looked around warily, even with a hint of fear in their eyes.

In a team of five people at most, there is no way that a class like Barrier Master could exist.

Just like Li Xia obtained the Sealed Forbidden Technique, he never used it in the entire second stage.

Teleportation is an extremely rare skill for second-tier beings. None of these dozens of apostles had ever seen it, let alone reacted with the lightning speed of Li Xia.

"Damn it! What is Gug trying to do?!"

Violet's pretty face was contorted with anger.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling. I suggest we work together to break the shield! Let's get out of here quickly."

The elderly man in formal attire stood to one side, his face equally grim, stroking his beard.

"Do you need to tell me? Is it that I don't want to?"

Violet sneered. Her first reaction upon being teleported in was to break through the protective barrier and escape.

But just as he drew energy from his blue pack, a notification from the Temple of Light popped up.

[Prompt: Do you intend to violate the team agreement? Confirmation will result in the deduction of 100 million Hall Points and 2 points from all attributes.]

Where the hell am I supposed to get a million Hall of Fame Points?

Violet then realized that the Light Barrier that teleported her there was a positive buff and would not violate the team agreement.

Along with her anger, fear also rose in her heart.

Gug seemed to see through what he was thinking, and just as he was about to leave the team, he launched the plan.

"Disband! Quickly, disband the team!"

One of the apostles could not suppress his fear and almost screamed out.

The elderly man in formal attire turned around and glared at the apostle, growling as he shouted:

"Are you an idiot??? Gug might be waiting for us to disband the team!"

The apostle, stunned by the shout, stared at him, listening to the old man spitting out insults.

"The sheer number of us gathered together constitutes our greatest strength, understand? Over thirty advanced apostles!"
