MTLNOVEL Chapter 87: Battle_1
Previously, nearly one hundred Level 2 professionists had dwindled to half their number within a short period.
Witnessing this, William, who was battling a Third-Level Salamander Monster in the distance, was livid!
Steeling his resolve, William began to unleash his full power as a Sequence Number 18!
An immense Sword Light swept towards the Third-Level Salamander Monster. Although blocked by the protective aura emanating from the monster, it was clear this aura had significantly weakened compared to before!
And this Sword Light was merely one of William's basic skills!
William: Profession: Steel Knight.
Skill Number One: Moon Slash (B-Class, Active Skill): Unleashes a mighty Sword Light. Its attack power is equal to the attack power of the host's wielded weapon, with a maximum range of ten meters!
This was William's only offensive skill.
However, this single ability did not represent William's full strength.
Under immense external pressure, William immediately activated his second skill!
Skill Number Two: King's Dignity (S-class, Active Ability): Upon activation, all Attributes double for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the Skill Effects end with no negative side effects!
With the activation of King's Dignity, William's physical Attributes instantly soared to a terrifying level of over 150 points!
Wielding his greatsword, he attacked the Third-Level Salamander Monster with a Sword Light far more immense than before!
William unleashed his strike, not even glancing at the result of his skill, and immediately turned to assist the struggling professionists behind him.
Behind him, the Third-Level Salamander Monster had been cleaved in two by the Sword Light!
With William unleashing his Third-level combat power, the professionists, who had been battered by the Demon Fiends, seemed to find their backbone. The capable ones charged toward William, while he covered those who were less able, bringing them to safety.
Once William had reorganized the defensive line for the twenty-odd survivors, his third ability began to work wonders!
Skill Number Three: Steel Will (B-Class, Passive ability): As stamina decreases, the stamina recovery rate increases.
An ability that seemed pointless turned out to be a great boon in arduous battles!
It was because of this third skill that William could unleash countless Moon Slashes like a bulldozer; judging from his expression, his stamina was still abundant!
As Wen Yu swung his Touch of Greed, shredding a few Soot Skin Demon Fiends in front of him, sniper fire erupted from behind!
A Salamander Demonic Being hiding among the Soot Skin Demon Fiends had just stuck out its tongue when Burly Bear shot it in the head!
After swiftly reloading, Burly Bear aimed at a bull demon whose feet had been shattered and fired another shot!
The unfortunate Third-Level Demon Fiend barely uttered a Frenzied Battle Roar before Burly Bear's sniper rifle sent it to hell.
With the death of the only two Third-Level Demon Fiends in the combat zone, the battlefield fell into a stalemate.
Demon Fiends continued to pour in through the city wall entrance. Aside from a few Level 2 Demon Fiends, the rest were all Level 1 cannon fodder.
Although not strong, their sheer numbers still put considerable pressure on all the professionists present!
Within Wen Yu's team, the first to feel the pressure was Sun Aotian, the weakest among them.
"Brother Wen Yu, I can't hold on much longer!"
After Sun Aotian obliterated a Level 1 Demon Fiend with a punch, he was ensnared by a Level 2 Soot Skin Demon Fiend. Seeing countless Soot Skin Demon Fiends baring their disgusting yellow teeth and pouncing towards him, he couldn't help but shout.
"Monkey!"
At Jiang Wentao's command, Monkey opened fire with one hand while swiftly pulling out a plasma hand grenade with the other!
After pressing the safety and waiting nearly two seconds, Monkey lobbed the grenade toward Sun Aotian.
The grenade exploded mid-air.
Blue electric arcs crackled around Sun Aotian's waist, but the lethal radius narrowly missed him.
Gasping heavily for breath, Sun Aotian barely had time to utter thanks before he was dragged back into the fray!
"Damn it!"
Having just cleared the Demon Fiends in front of him, Wen Yu finally had a moment to observe the battlefield. Sun Aotian is truly a huge burden!
Monkey had just rescued Sun Aotian from an encirclement, but Sun Aotian was once again surrounded by Demon Fiends. Monkey, at this point, was too busy to help him.
In front of Monkey, a bull demon over three meters tall was charging at him like a miniature tank!
Burly Bear, responsible for fire support, had just helped Jiang Wentao out of a siege. He saw the bull demon charge in during the brief moment Monkey was reloading. Support wouldn't make it in time!
Seeing the bull demon's rapid charge, Monkey's eyes glinted fiercely. With a flick of his wrists, the two submachine guns vanished from his hands, replaced by two futuristic-looking Hand Cannons!
BOOM! BOOM!
Two loud explosions rang out.
The bull demon's head exploded instantly. However, before Monkey could take any evasive action, its massive body slammed into him!
The bull demon's weight, coupled with the momentum of its charge, sent Monkey flying.
Mid-air, blood gushed from his mouth!
A huge gap instantly appeared in the defensive line!
"Cyclops! Clear out the small fry!" Wen Yu commanded upon seeing the crisis.
Hearing Wen Yu's command, Cyclops opened his mouth wide.
The Flames of Tyranny began to brew within Cyclops's maw!
In less than three seconds, a massive pillar of fire erupted, sweeping wildly toward the Demon Fiends in front!
The black flames, like a cataclysm, instantly incinerated all Demon Fiends in front of Cyclops. Its remaining power surged out of the city wall entrance, soaring high into the sky before gradually dissipating.
After unleashing the pillar of fire, Cyclops, wreathed in the Flames of Tyranny, ignored all formations and charged into the horde of Demon Fiends near Wen Yu, commencing a slaughter!
Seeing that the area around Cyclops was clear of Demon Fiends, Wen Yu tore a nearby Soot Skin Demon Fiend to shreds, then grabbed the blood-soaked Sun Aotian and threw him to the rear.
"Contract the formation!"
Jiang Wentao saw Cyclops break formation and draw the attention of most of the Demon Fiends. After quickly dispatching the Demon Fiends before him, he retreated to stand with Wen Yu at the very front!
Behind them, Monkey took out a healing potion and gulped it down. As his injuries rapidly healed, he once again brandished his Magic-Modified Submachine Gun!
Cyclops's sudden rampage had averted the imminent collapse of their formation.
However, with Cyclops having broken rank, Wen Yu and the others were forced to shrink their formation further, protecting the weaker Sun Aotian and Burly Bear at the rear.
