The Beast Master's summons
"Tengshe," ranked sixth on the Rankings as a Tier 4 expert, is not an easy opponent to deal with.
Although he is not as extreme as "Benevolent King", all his [Item] and skills are for "defense" and he has no offensive capabilities.
However, his overall abilities are indeed biased towards defense and recovery, focusing on high defense and high recovery, making him a very troublesome opponent.
Generally speaking, even if other "Tier 4" experts launch a sneak attack on "Tengshe", it is difficult to achieve any results.
But...
The one who ambushed "Tengshe" now is not a "Tier 4" being, but...
A Deity.
A former Deity.
What Lin Yu obtained was not merely the method to use the Divine Art associated with the "Desire" Authority —what he received from the God of Desire was the "Desire Mark."
After he accepts this mark, in addition to being able to use the power of "Desire", he can also summon the "God of Desire" himself to help him.
Normally, since Deity are above Authority, Deity will cannot be considered part of Authority, and therefore the mark of Authority cannot mobilize Deity will of the deity himself.
To obtain the personal assistance of Deity, one usually needs to use a Divine Art called "Divine Descent"—which typically comes with various limitations.
But...
The fact that the God of Desire has been demoted makes up for this part.
Because the Authority "Revelry" has been taken away, and even "Desire" has been corrupted by other souls, the current God of Desire is less Deity "controls Desire" and more a puppet residing in the Authority "Desire".
Furthermore, since Lin Yu was currently in the same world, within the space constructed by [Azure Sea Sky Dome] where the will of the "God of Desire" was sealed, he could naturally ask this Deity to come down and help.
This is why Lin Yu dared to say that he could hold off one "Tier 4" and three "Tier 3" opponents for half an hour.
One "Tier 2" is indeed not enough.
But what if... a Deity were added?
"Tengshe" has fallen into the predicament of "Desire", but Lin Yu knows... that won't last long.
"Very good, the most troublesome BOSS is now under control. The next step is naturally to take advantage of the time when the BOSS is unable to move..."
"Clear out the mobs."
Lin Yu raised his hand, golden threads swirling around his fingertips, and then...
He pointed in the direction of the three "Night Watcher".
Behind Lin Yu, the incarnation of the God of Desire also raised its doll-like knitted hand.
Chongming squinted. "How interesting... It seems we've been underestimated."
"Splash splash--!"
The sound of chains rang out, Chongming opened her Arms, revealing a pair of Chain Blade that hung down from her forearms.
"I admit it's surprising that you could temporarily immobilize 'Tengshe'. You're stronger than I thought, but... you probably won't be able to use this trick a second time."
"Although that [Summoned Creature] behind you... well, it's probably Demigod or some kind of Chosen of God? But that kind of method just now isn't something He can use casually, right?"
Lin Yu nodded, readily admitting, "That's right."
There's nothing wrong with admitting that he practically detonated all the "puppets of Desire" gathered in the city, using the massive Desire that erupted in an instant to successfully ambush "Tengshe".
Both "Chongming" and "Mountain Sparrow" are types with high combat Wisdom, and they can see this as well.
"But even if I can't use that move again to deal with you... normal moves will suffice."
"Because behind me is not Demigod, but... an ancient Deity."
As Lin Yu spoke, he raised his fingertip and pressed it down heavily.
"Go, my revered God of Desire!"
Behind Lin Yu, the pale golden figure of the God of Desire vanished.
Chongming bowed, and an invisible aura erupted from his body—this aura spread out into a spherical field with a radius of five or six meters!
After the Body Protection Qi surged, Chongming frowned.
Where is that little golden statue?!
As soon as he finished speaking...
Chongming suddenly turned around and saw a pale golden figure materializing behind the Mountain Sparrow.
Golden light rushed towards the Mountain Sparrow, Chongming called out a warning, "Mountain Sparrow! Watch out behind you!"
Upon hearing this, the Mountain Sparrow immediately turned around, and a Dip Pen appeared in its hand.
Just as the Mountain Sparrow was about to unleash its ability to counterattack and defend...
He suddenly froze on the spot, somewhat dazed.
Damn it!
Chongming used his chains to wrap around the Mountain Sparrow's body and dragged him over.
Then, a gray-white brick wall appeared out of thin air, separating the golden light and the Mountain Sparrow —it was the one that Robin had just drawn.
Clearly, the Mountain Sparrow had also been controlled by "Desire"!
However, the intensity he encountered was different from that of the "Tengshe," so after being pulled over by Chongming, Mountain Sparrow immediately regained consciousness.
"Don't look at those golden lights—I thought I'd just received a serialization invitation from Weekly Shonen Jump!"
The Mountain Sparrow quickly reminded him.
"You can't watch it?"
Chongming said.
"It's also possible that you can't get too close—in any case, this thing is dangerous!"
"It would be terrible if we couldn't get close," Chongming said through gritted teeth. "I'm only good at close combat!"
And now... by the reflection of the Chain Blade, she could see that "Zhu Ming" was surrounded by rings of Desire Golden Light!
"It's alright, Teacher Chongming —then leave it to me and 'Robin,' you take care of protecting the two of us."
As she spoke, Mountain Sparrow pulled out a stack of Drawing Paper —under this intensity of combat, even with Chongming's protection, it was unrealistic for Mountain Sparrow to be able to draw on the spot, but...
A qualified "Manga Artist" will certainly have a stockpile of drafts!
On it are drawn all sorts of cool characters and moves; I wonder how long the Mountain Sparrow has been accumulating these sketches.
He tossed the drawings into the air, then activated the ability of the [Exclusive item] he had just acquired!
The comic book Manuscript Paper burned in the air, and soon more than ten characters fell to the ground.
Robin, who had already taken out her sketchbook, looked at the characters with a surprised expression.
"Are these all your original designs, Mountain Sparrow...? They're very well-designed!"
"That guy over there with the dual swords is really cool."
Upon hearing Robin's praise, the Mountain Sparrow quickly exclaimed, "Really, Mr. Robin... My goodness, thank you for the compliment!"
"To be honest, these are all designs I created myself for practice... I'm not very confident about them! It's so great that you approve!"
The Mountain Sparrow spoke excitedly, while Chongming, holding his Chain Blade, Chongming his forehead.
"Seriously, you two shouldn't be chatting like this in a situation like this."
"Yeah... isn't that a bit too disrespectful?"
Lin Yu's voice rang out softly.
The three looked up in horror, and then saw that "Zhu Ming" was now squatting on the brick wall that Robin had just summoned.
Then...
Lin Yu leaped down from the high wall, accelerated rapidly in mid-air, and pounced on the three of them.
From Lin Yu's hand, the [Fear Torch] suddenly appeared, its pale flames igniting and enveloped in a layer of pale golden light—the golden light that had surrounded Lin Yu was now all concentrated at the tip of the Torch.
The Torch, which already evokes fear, now also carries the corrosive effect of Desire!
Mountain Sparrow and Chongming's analysis is correct. Lin Yu, empowered by the "Desire" Authority, does indeed have a significant advantage in close combat!
Before Lin Yu even got close, the three of them felt a sudden dizziness—on one hand, fear arose spontaneously.
On the other hand... they all seemed to see some "beautiful Hallucination" appearing before their eyes.
Two conflicting emotions raged within their souls and consciousness, further confusing their minds.
Certainly...
Although there were many obstacles, they were not enough to completely incapacitate them!
"Roll!"
Chongming roared and thrust forward with a palm. The burst of energy then blasted towards Lin Yu's body, scattering the Pale Flame of the [Fear Torch] and temporarily halting Lin Yu's charge.
At the same time, her low growl was like a wake-up call, briefly clearing the minds of the Mountain Sparrow and the Robin.
The two of them seized this fleeting opportunity immediately.
The pencil in Robin's hand made a "scratching" sound as it scribbled rapidly across the paper. His fingers moved so fast that they were almost a blur, making Lin Yu Robin if Robin also possessed some kind of [Item] or skill that could accelerate his movements.
Just half a second later...
A huge spike protruded from the ground, and the rising cone accurately struck Lin Yu in the waist and abdomen, impaling him in mid-air!
Then...
The Mountain Sparrow immediately manipulated its cartoon characters to pounce towards Lin Yu!
A samurai wielding dual swords, a young man carrying Great Sword, a girl with wolf claws...
One by one, stylish combat characters brandished their weapons and attacked Lin Yu using the abilities granted to them by the Mountain Sparrow!
It seemed that Lin Yu was in Desperate Plight!
"Truly worthy of being the elite of the Night Watcher... Even among the Tier 3, you are considered strong!"
"Luckily, I... was prepared!"
As Lin Yu spoke, the figure in the air suddenly transformed into black ink and exploded.
"When!"
The [Fear Torch] falls from the sky, but before it hits the ground...
In mid-air, Lin Yu reached out and caught it.
He stood right behind the "Mountain Sparrow".
But this time... it was too late for "Chongming" to lend a helping hand!
"Go to sleep!"
A strange-looking Serpentkin appeared and spewed a cloud of smoke at "Mountain Sparrow".
The stunned "Manga Artist" watched this scene, then staggered and fell to the ground.
"You may have forgotten... I have many other methods besides 'Desire'."
"My Summoned Creature are not limited to the 'God of Desire'."
As Lin Yu spoke, he gently caught the "Mountain Sparrow" who was about to fall and picked him up horizontally.
"So... this is the second one."
