Capítulo 2765: Chapter 1517: Holding the Line and Dawn_2
A scornful icy chuckle rang out, and the Centaur Parasite eyed the three freshly infected Divine Stone Generals before contemptuously locking eyes on Leo Ray and his two battling allies, jeering, “What’s the point of desperately maintaining that worthless Barrier? It’s all in vain anyway!”
The Centaur’s taunt instantly crushed the brief spark of hope among the soldiers, filling their faces with deep grief.
Upon reflection, even if they poured every ounce of effort into overcoming the mighty foe ahead, what would it achieve? The Centaur spoke truth; as moments ticked by, they only confronted swelling numbers of Parasites!
Moreover, the Extermination Array that Lord Brave had labored to set up failed to contain even the Parasites in this spot, let alone the endless “Corrosions” plaguing the city!
“Lord Brave, I realize you’ve given it your all, yet we simply lack the power to reverse our fate.”
While Old Book plunged into hopelessness, Leo Ray’s steady and composed voice filled the ears of all present again.
“Who claimed my Magic Array serves no purpose?”
With Leo Ray’s statement dropping, a blinding massive golden beam of light erupted from the heart of the nearby Extermination Array, soaring to the ceiling of the underground chamber and bathing everything in brilliant glow.
Moments later, similar yet slimmer golden beams rose from the city’s four edges, acting as pillars of support, which swiftly wove into a vast and awe-inspiring golden dome that merged toward the central beam.
Everywhere the grand golden dome extended, distorted cries of torment echoed across the city, and countless Parasites twisted in pain on the ground, their crystals starting to fracture and break apart.
In their view, numerous City Guard Soldiers lay felled by the foe’s wild strikes, some with weapons at their necks, obviously on the verge of defeat. Yet this unexpected turn yanked every City Guard Soldier from the jaws of death!
In addition, thick clusters of “Corrosions” detonated beneath the golden dome, transforming into globs of dark ooze that oozed and smeared into the gaps of the stone-paved streets in the districts.
Within those “Corrosions,” plenty had woven multicolored large cocoons that trapped victims inside, obviously in the midst of parasitism; now they ruptured, letting the partially infected victims slide free from the sludge, their chests still showing slight heaves, clearly reclaiming their lives.
“Curse it! That insect’s trash Magic Array was merely the Array Eye, designed to link up with additional array nodes!”
The head Centaur Parasite responded fast, its shrill, cutting cry booming across sky and land, “Hurry and smash that Array Eye!”
With those words, it disregarded the clash with Old Book and wildly pulled back its enormous bow, firing energy arrows at the Extermination Array’s center.
Not just the head Centaur Parasite, but the remaining nine near-Seventh-rank Parasites and even the regular Tier 6 Parasites all surged toward the Extermination Array’s core heedlessly.
At the Extermination Array’s core floated a gleaming golden Magic Crystal in the air, marking their assault’s focus.
At the same time, Leo Ray along with his two allies positioned themselves near the golden Magic Crystal.
As the head Parasite noted, the Extermination Array Leo Ray had just established wasn’t solely for curbing Parasites around the Temple; its key role lay in serving as a huge Array Eye, linking to other Extermination Arrays throughout the city.
Regarding the forces needed for those other Extermination Arrays, they came from the other [Divine Stone] possessors serving under Leo Ray.
A short while back, Moli delayed her reply because she had separately sent five squads under Sarah Shawn, Elusa, Gideon Black, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark to scattered spots in Observation City to ready the Extermination Array setups, explaining why only Leo Ray, Sheila, and Moli showed up before the Temple.
Shielded by fellow subordinates who ranked as Tier 6 Experts, the five [Divine Stone] owners and Stone Spirits gained utmost protection.
In particular, once those dominantly strong near-Seventh-rank Parasites began showing up, while the danger to Leo Ray and his group spiked dramatically, it substantially eased the strain on his other team members, prompting Leo Ray to clench his jaw and hold the line to grant time for his other team members.
“Since the previous Extermination Array activation, the team has grown far more skilled with these Magic Arrays, and the spots I picked all brimmed with Magic Towers in Observation City. Backed by the Magic Towers and with each [Divine Stone] owner armed with 10 Extermination Array Scrolls, this setup clearly boosts the Extermination Array’s impact to its peak.”
Leo Ray eyed the savage, warped Parasites charging at them and clutched his Longsword firmly.
Though these Extermination Array Scrolls rated as Tier 6, from earlier combat trials, Leo Ray had spotted that escalating the count of placed scrolls sharply heightened the suppression power.
Via layered boosts, while the Extermination Array couldn’t hit Tier 7 strength, compelling near-Seventh-rank Parasites under control wasn’t out of reach!
Thus, if they guarded the Array Eye spot and fully linked the Extermination Arrays from elsewhere to this one, unleashing the Extermination Array’s full might would suffice to swing the balance of triumph for this ravaged city and its defenders!
“So Lord Brave’s real plan emerges; he never surrendered and kept fighting for that final chance at victory for our doomed city on the brink, for every one of us!”
Old Book swiftly grasped Leo Ray’s strategy, clenching his teeth in a watery-eyed bellow, “Support Lord Brave in guarding the Array Eye!”
Upon saying that, Old Book and Curry spearheaded the push, dashing toward the Array Eye’s location.
However, right then, Leo Ray and his allies contended with eight approaching near-Seventh-rank Parasites plus two Centaur Parasites aiding from behind.
“Too late now; nobody can stop us from wrecking the Array Eye!”
Capitalizing on the Extermination Array’s incomplete linkage, the head Centaur Parasite and its fellow Centaur Parasite unleashed a barrage of energy arrows with fury!
Beyond the arrow storm, Amanda’s massive crossbow shots and blazing, gale-force spells from three more Parasites barreled toward Leo Ray and his allies in a flood.
In a flash, the packed arrows and surging Magic Radiance crammed the heavens, warping and breaking the nearby Space once more, exposing the Void Space’s gloom, a fearsome spectacle.
“Fine by me, then I’ll widen that Spatial Rift a touch more!”
Moli had no time for concerns, seizing her Magic Wand hard and swinging it with force, ripping open a Spatial Rift resembling a colossal void mouth that swiftly gaped wide, devouring all the incoming arrows and Magic strikes into the Void Space.
Yet, given the enemy’s savage onslaught that hammered the Spatial Rift’s border nonstop, though Moli managed to deflect it, she couldn’t avoid coughing up blood, which splashed the upper front of her pink hooded cape in vivid crimson, obviously hit by intense Magic rebound.
This came as no shock; countering strikes from five matching powerhouses single-handedly would daunt her even at full strength, especially now with her Mana nearly exhausted?
While Moli threw everything into halting the far-off Parasites’ barrages, at the same time, five close-range Parasites barreled at Leo Ray with crushing momentum.
Leo Ray displayed no dread, shielding the radiant Array Eye at his back.
“Brat, now’s when you get ripped apart with that junk Array Eye!”
The head Fishman Parasite’s gore-smeared halberd flashed with icy gleam, as the other four Parasites trailed tight, jointly striking at Leo Ray.
