I Am the Embodiment of Death
At this moment, the adventurers waiting behind the bronze gate could no longer contain themselves. They had all buffed themselves, formed their formations, and were ready to make their mark. As soon as the gate opened, they rushed forward, all eyes fixed on it.
But when the adventurers saw what was behind the door, their Charge suddenly stopped, and they were all stunned for a moment.
Before them stretched an ocean of all sorts of monsters, extending from the gate into a vast passage in the distance, seemingly endless. The monsters surged like an unending tide, with thousands of enormous rock giants and Hell demons, each two, three, or four meters tall, leading the wave. Behind them were various demons, Undead, and elemental creatures.
Above, a dense swarm of dragons, gargoyles, Dragonhawk, griffins, and bats filled the sky. As soon as the hatch opened, they swept in with an unstoppable, overwhelming force, engulfing everything. The adventurers had never seen such a hatch before; their previous bravado had vanished completely.
Even knowing it's just a game, most adventurers' first reaction is still to run away.
"Oh my god!"
Someone shouted and turned to run, but there was no way to escape. Behind them, there was a dense crowd of adventurers, hundreds of thousands of people packed together, like a surging tide. It was not so easy to push back.
"Damn it, let's fight them!" someone shouted. "It's just a game, what's the big deal if we die?"
The adventurers at the front finally reacted and turned around to prepare for battle. In the blink of an eye, the monster tide had already rushed in front of them, and the lines of minions were immediately intertwined.
With a deafening roar, the monster horde crashed into the adventurers' defensive line, and the battle instantly commenced.
A Warrior wielded a two-handed giant axe, hacking away without thinking. He had just cut down two Goblin when he was torn to shreds by the swarming monsters, but he was quickly resurrected in a beam of Holy Light.
The adventurers at the front, once they broke the defensive line, were almost immediately overwhelmed by the tide of monsters.
Some organized guilds proved their worth at this point, with dozens or even hundreds of Warriors or knights forming steel lines of defense with their shields, finally managing to withstand the monsters' onslaught.
While they could withstand ordinary monsters, those towering Big Build, dozens of meters tall, were a different story. Often, a single punch could knock down more than a dozen adventurers. Once the formation was broken, the smaller monsters would swarm in and tear the formation apart. The melee classes at the front suffered heavy casualties, practically becoming cannon fodder.
However, the spellcasters behind them began to unleash a deluge of magic, no longer caring about accidental injuries.
However, the spellcasters behind them then demonstrated their power, unleashing all sorts of AOE spells as if they were free: Blizzard, Rain of Fire, Lightning Storm —these destructive spells formed an insurmountable wall of death.
The two sides fought and wore each other down. Overall, the monsters were dying much faster than the adventurers. In addition, the adventurers were fearless and managed to withstand the overwhelming attacks of the monster army for a time.
"This looks a bit troublesome. This Li Mingfei actually recruited so many adventurers to be cannon fodder." Hovering above the army, Xiao Yu said to Shen Yuan beside him.
As the overall commander this time, he certainly doesn't need to charge into Charge. Besides, with so many BOSS heroes by his side, it's not his turn to Charge yet.
Shen Yuan smiled slightly, "Don't forget, we still have the Overlord."
"Overlord!?" Xiao Yu finally remembered. He had almost forgotten that Shen Yuan even had such a thing because the battle had gone so smoothly.
"What exactly are the Overlord's abilities? How can you be so sure it can handle so many adventurers?" he asked, somewhat incredulously.
There are hundreds of thousands of adventurers. Even the most powerful boss can only kill hundreds or thousands in one hit. It's impossible to wipe them all out. Moreover, adventurers can regenerate, so it seems like there's no solution at all.
No matter how powerful the Overlord is, it doesn't seem to make much difference against an adventurer who is impossible to kill.
"How do you plan to kill all these adventurers?" Naiser asked curiously from the side.
Shen Yuan shook his head. "Don't worry, I have my own ways of dealing with adventurers. In fact, their appearance was within my expectations. However, there aren't enough adventurers yet. I'll deal with them all at once when there are more."
Indeed, while there are currently several hundred thousand adventurers, it's nothing compared to the nearly ten million adventurer players. However, as time goes on, there will definitely be more adventurers entering the Pantheon.
"Now, let's rush into the main hall and face the God of Holy Light."
As Shen Yuan spoke, he stomped his foot, and the Overlord beneath his feet immediately floated forward into the distance. Although the Overlord was extremely powerful, it did not attract any attention.
After all, there were just too many monsters in front of them, all kinds of them, some tens or even hundreds of meters long.
The Overlord's size was only a few tens of meters in diameter, which was not particularly outstanding. It just looked rather strange, but since it served as Shen Yuan's mount, many adventurers thought it was just a mount for transportation.
The current situation has reached a stalemate; the wall of death, composed of destructive magic, has blocked the attacks of the vast majority of monsters.
However, just because ordinary monsters can't get through doesn't mean the BOSS can't. Suddenly, a dark shadow rushed in from the sky.
Neltharion (Deathwing): "I am the embodiment of death!"
That was Deathwing. As the most powerful Dragon Clan in the Sky World, and a former the Destroyer the world, Deathwing's combat power was extraordinary, reaching the level of a nine-skull warrior. Moreover, Dragon Clan are a superior race, and their combat power is even comparable to that of the Elemental King. With his charge, flames cascaded down his body like waterfalls, burning a path hundreds of meters wide through the adventurer army. This single act likely killed several thousand players.
Deathwing forward relentlessly, seemingly intent on piercing through the adventurers' defenses, but suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping him completely. For a moment, he was unable to break free and was imprisoned there.
It turned out that upon seeing Deathwing, Li Mingfei finally moved as well; this pillar of light was indeed the work of the God of Holy Light himself.
The God of Holy Light: "Neltharion, you foolish reptile! I thought you were merely arrogant, but I never imagined you were so stupid as to dare trespass into the realm of the gods. Your arrogance and ignorance will surely lead to your destruction. Tell me, reptile, what makes you dare to oppose the gods?"
However, Deathwing on the other side wasn't too impressed.
Neltharion (Deathwing): "Shut up, God of Holy Light! Your schemes have been completely exposed. My destiny is in my own hands. Madness and destruction will never be my end."
Li Mingfei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "How did this guy know? I've never told anyone about this plot design before."
