Chapter 459 – Surpa.s.sing Dragons
When Manoset threw his punch, even the hall’s st.u.r.dy s.p.a.ce instantly turned into a dark void. Not only did this void devour all mana caught within its vicinity, but it also caused time to slow down to a standstill. As a result, s.h.i.+ Feng and every other player present could not move.
Moreover, apart from s.h.i.+ Feng, Frey, Unrestrained Lionheart, and a few other experts on the team, everyone else experienced a lag in their thoughts.
It’s over…
So, this is the strength of a Holy Ancestor?
!!
Frey and Unrestrained Lionheart were greatly shocked when they saw the destruction happening before their very eyes.
Tier 6 G.o.ds were very rarely seen in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain, but as a pseudo-apex power, the Red Dragon Nation had plenty of video information on Tier 6 G.o.ds. The Guild even had quite a few video recordings of Ancient G.o.ds in battle.
However, out of all the G.o.ds and Ancient G.o.ds recorded in the Red Dragon Nation’s archives, not even the strongest Ancient G.o.d could throw out a punch as powerful as Manoset’s.
Incredible! This punch is already as strong as a Primordial G.o.d’s attack! s.h.i.+ Feng was also greatly surprised by Manoset’s devastating punch.
s.h.i.+ Feng had fought against many Holy G.o.ds during his previous life, but never had he come across a Holy Ancestor before. So, this was his first encounter with a Holy Ancestor.
Even in the Holy Race’s world, few records were available on Holy Ancestors. As far as s.h.i.+ Feng was aware, no human player had come across a Holy Ancestor during his previous life, and all everyone knew was that Holy Ancestors were existences rivaling Primordial G.o.ds.
Meanwhile, it should be known that Manoset was currently in a sealed state. Even though he had already broken free of the chains binding him, his strength remained sealed, and he’d be fortunate if he could even unleash 30% of his actual strength.
Yet, even with just 30% of his strength, Manoset could already throw a punch rivaling that of Primordial G.o.ds.
While s.h.i.+ Feng was marveling at Manoset’s punch, the shock that Frey and Unrestrained Lionheart experienced gradually turned into despair.
A Primordial G.o.d’s attack simply wasn’t something Tier 5 players could withstand. Even Fragmented Legendary items would be reduced to dust if struck by a Primordial G.o.d’s attack. So long as they were killed by it, they would most certainly see their Immortal Souls extinguished.
However, when Manoset’s fist was just ten yards away from reaching s.h.i.+ Feng’s group, the G.o.ddess’s Shadow, who was in the middle of chanting an incantation, suddenly waved her hand.
Boom!
An explosion shook the entire Courtyard of s.p.a.ce, the shockwaves of the explosion causing the courtyard’s environment to crack like gla.s.s. If another such explosion occurred, the courtyard’s environment would most certainly shatter, and everything within the courtyard would perish.
Back inside the castle’s top-floor hall…
We’re alive?
We’re not dead?
The players in the hall couldn’t help but be surprised as they inspected their bodies.
Although most of the players present had failed to see what had just happened, they weren’t fools. Time in the hall had yet to freeze the instant Manoset swung his fist, so everyone understood that there was no way any of them could have survived an attack from the Holy Ancestor.
While everyone was wrapped in confusion, several thoroughly translucent barriers before them shattered and disappeared one after another. When the fifth barrier disappeared, and cracks started to appear on the sixth one, Manoset’s fist came to a complete stop.
Am I dreaming? A sixfold World Wall? Unrestrained Lionheart nearly dropped his staff when he saw the barriers that had just shattered, and he couldn’t help but look toward the G.o.ddess’s Shadow. Is she really just a doppelganger?
World Wall was a Tier 6 Defensive Spell. It was also the strongest Defensive Spell available at Tier 6.
Normally, even a Tier 6 expert at the fifth-floor standard could, at best, silent-cast a onefold World Wall. And if they chanted the Spell’s incantation, they could cast a twofold World Wall.
Yet, the G.o.ddess’s Shadow had constructed a sixfold World Wall with just a wave of her hand. Normally, this was a feat an Ancient G.o.d would find extremely difficult to accomplish even with their true bodies…
“Die!”
Manoset was unfazed even after seeing his first attack failing to connect. Without hesitation, he began throwing out a barrage of devastating punches, the punches so numerous that it looked like a wall of fists was approaching s.h.i.+ Feng’s group.
The players present were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
A Gold Combat Technique?!
Impossible! How can an NPC use a Gold Combat Technique? How are we supposed to even fight against such an NPC?
Of those present, Frey and Unrestrained Lionheart were especially shocked when they saw the barrage of punches. With their vast knowledge of G.o.d’s Domain, they immediately understood that Manoset had just executed a Gold Combat Technique.
It should be known that NPCs typically possessed much greater Basic Attributes than players. They also had higher combat standards than monsters, with many Tier 6 NPCs having combat standards at the fourth-floor standard. Because of these factors, very few Tier 6 players could rival Tier 6 G.o.ds, and a large number of Tier 6 experts were necessary to take down a Tier 6 G.o.d under normal circ.u.mstances.
However, if a Tier 6 G.o.d knew how to use Gold Combat Techniques on top of having greater Basic Attributes than players and greater combat standards than monsters, defeating them would be nigh impossible for players.
“Seal!”
Just as the barrage of punches was about to reach s.h.i.+ Feng’s group, a divine voice suddenly echoed in everyone’s mind. Immediately afterward, the wall of fists gradually disappeared.
“Dammit, s.p.a.ce! You cannot stop me!” Manoset yelled out in pain and fury.
Subsequently, countless divine runes appeared around Manoset, locking down the s.p.a.ce within a 100-yard radius of the Holy Ancestor. Then, these divine runes started to resonate with the remaining chains on Manoset’s body and sap away at his strength.
Primordial G.o.d… Tier 6 Ancient G.o.d… Tier 6 G.o.d…
The instant Manoset’s Life Rating fell to the Tier 5 standard, the brightness of the divine runes around him peaked, and Manoset’s strength stopped falling.
“Hahaha! Is this the limit of your doppelganger?” Manoset laughed when he saw the G.o.ddess’s Shadow’s body destabilizing. “Or do you think these ants can defeat me just because I’ve been weakened to Tier 5?”
Manoset’s mockery did not earn any reaction from the G.o.ddess’s Shadow. Instead, the G.o.ddess Shadow merely turned to the hall’s entrance and said to s.h.i.+ Feng’s group, “The rest is up to you now. I have already suppressed Manoset to the best of my abilities, but I can only maintain this suppression for a limited time.”
After saying so, the G.o.ddess’s Shadow closed her eyes and focused all her attention on maintaining Manoset’s seal.
“She wants us to fight that?”
When everyone looked at the weakened Holy Ancestor, they couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.
…
[Manoset] (Holy Ancestor, Tier 5)
Level 148
HP 1,500,000,000,000
…
It was true that Manoset had been weakened to the Tier 5 standard, but simply looking at Manoset’s HP was enough to tell them how frighteningly powerful Manoset was still. Even a Dragon of the same tier would be put to shame when compared to the Holy Ancestor.
Before everyone could come to terms with the situation, Manoset swung his fist at the team once again. Compared to before, Manoset’s punch this time was much less frightening. Even so, it still carried power at the Tier 6 standard, and it was strong enough to distort the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Before Manoset’s punch could reach the team, a Tier 5 Demidragon s.h.i.+eld Warrior intercepted it.
The Demidragon s.h.i.+eld Warrior was the tank that had previously received the Orichalc.u.m Secret Treasure from Frey. After he let out a roar, his s.h.i.+eld transformed into multiple barriers of light that continuously redirected and weakened Manoset’s punch.
One of the 99 Absolute Techniques, Skylight Guardian!
Boom!
Subsequently, the Demidragon s.h.i.+eld Warrior was sent flying and cras.h.i.+ng into a wall, his s.h.i.+eld falling out of his hands and his HP decreasing by over 80%…
“Crest!”
Unrestrained Lionheart was greatly shocked by this development.
Crest was their team’s ace tank. Not only did he wield a top-tier Fragmented Legendary s.h.i.+eld close to rivaling Legendary s.h.i.+elds, but he also had the Orichaulc.u.m Secret Treasure equipped. Combined with the Absolute Technique Skylight s.h.i.+eld, even if he blocked an attack from a Tier 6 Divine monster, he shouldn’t lose more than 30% of his HP.
Yet, now, not only did Manoset’s attack put Crest into a heavily injured state, but the s.h.i.+eld Warrior had also lost over 80% of his HP.
How were they supposed to fight against such a powerful foe?
