Chapter 932, God of Hunting
"Lightning strike ready—fire!"
Whoosh!
Silver-white thunderbolts lance through the sky, hurling towards the front.
The female demigod leads the cavalry in a swift charge.
Glancing up at the falling silver-white lightning, she lets out a thunderous bellow.
A spectral bronze shield emerges above the cavalry's heads, like an umbrella, blocking the dense barrage of thunderbolts.
Bang!
The thunderbolts collide with the shield, unleashing a surging tempest.
Despite the tumult, the cavalry below were unharmed.
The cavalry emits excited cheers, running while grabbing their hunting bows from the horse's side and starting to draw and nock arrows.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
A dense flurry of arrows rains down upon the Skeleton shield formation in the distance.
Striking against the shields, they create a cacophony of clattering impacts.
Whoosh—roar!
Just then, the sound of tearing air and the Dragon Roar erupt simultaneously.
The golden dragon, moving at lightning speed, is already above, gathering energy in its mouth, spewing forth a Dragon Breath towards the demigod.
The female demigod's pupils contract.
Pressing low on her horse's flank, she instantly transforms into a flickering afterimage, darting out of the range of the Dragon Breath.
The scorching Dragon Breath sweeps through the cavalry behind her.
Like an overturned cauldron of flames, rampant fire swallows up a vast swath of the cavalry.
They are reduced to ashes without even a moment for misery or struggle.
The suddenly accelerating female demigod.
Like a streak of light, she directly charges into the enemy's four-armed Skeleton guard formation.
The tight shield formation shatters in an instant.
Everything she passes through, be it troops or shields, is pulverized into fragments scattered all around.
The Valkyrie construct behind her, wielding a Longsword, lunges at the invading female demigod.
Yet, the demigod is like an out-of-control meat grinder, instantly shattering any enemy that dares to approach or block her path with her swinging spear.
The golden dragon initially meant to slay the opposing demigod.
It sweeps with Dragon Breath, only to find she has already plunged into its own ranks.
The giant vertical pupil narrows, as the massive dragon body begins to shimmer with a clear brilliance.
The darkened sky above, all at once, brightens.
The golden dragon with its wings spread obscures the heavens, swiftly sweeping across the battlefield, trailing a sky filled with fiery glow like the sunrise.
The stream of fire blankets the sky, hanging beneath the dark clouds.
And the next second, within the stream of fire, a swarm of small Winged Dragons made of flame, resembling giant bats in size, surges forth in groups torpedoing down at the enemy below.
For a moment, it's as if a torrential fire rain is descending.
No matter how the enemy tries to dodge, these Winged Dragon-shaped flames follow them like relentless parasites, never ceasing until they are dead.
Fang Hao, dodging the barrage of arrows with a sideways flip.
Adjusting his helmet, he watches the Dragon Queen's new tactic in surprise.
He's seen this move before—it was used by a Flame Giant in the 'Arena of Valor'.
However, the fire elementals summoned by that opponent were more diverse, including infantry and birds.
In the hands of the Dragon Queen, there are only the winged forms of Winged Dragons.
Many long-range shooters are reduced to ashes within the flames, casualties mounting in an instant.
When it comes to killing, the Dragon Queen really is unmatched among her divine peers and demigods of the same stage.
The battle rages on.
And it isn't about to pause for even a moment due to the broad fire rain.
The berserk female demigod continues her rampage within the ranks and sets her sights directly on Fang Hao after spotting him.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Queen circling in the sky, casts her gaze upon the palace.
Diving down, she heads straight for the palace.
Fang Hao watches the female demigod charging at him like an uncontrollable truck.
He speaks straightforwardly: "Gloriya, your eyes cannot discern things."
"Gloriya, your body cannot move."
"Gloriya, your heart cannot beat..."
A familiar string of words tumbles out almost reflexively.
Useless against a true deity.
Against a demigod, though, Fang Hao's level 3 Divinity can take effect in any of those aspects.
The horse under the female demigod keeps running, but the unstoppable momentum that had cleared all hurdles instantly subsides.
The demigod's Skills are cut off.
The horse's pace rapidly slows, while the swarming constructs nearby.
Rush towards her center like iron filings to a magnet.
The female demigod swings her spear in a circular shield, shattering all incoming enemies.
Blinded, she relies solely on the sound of the rushing wind to pinpoint her targets, using her spear and shield to kill.
It seems her combat instincts are well-honed.
Even in this state, she holds her ground, not at a disadvantage.
Fang Hao immediately commands, "Take down the horse first!"
Whoosh!
Guided by sound, the spear throws towards him in an instant.
Fang Hao sidesteps, quietly moving back a distance.
The constructs, too, begin attacking the horse.
Counts of constructs cling onto her, tearing and twisting, creating a tumultuous ball.
...
Across from him, within the palace.
A figure slowly emerges.
Thin and tall, with extraordinarily long arms and visibly bulging muscular development.
But what draws the most attention are those two eyes.
Bright and sharp, as if a Hunter was focusing on its prey.
[God of Hunting – Marl (Intermediate God)]
An intermediate god.
Indeed a higher level than the God of Deception.
No wonder his few lies scarcely had any effect on him.
Seeing most of his minions slaughtered, and his arrows having little effect.
He could no longer sit idly by.
The golden dragon plummets from above, its gaze quickly locked onto the man emerging from the palace.
Sonic booms and Dragon Roars fill the heavens.
The eyes of the God of Hunting, sharp as blades, fix on the eclipsing golden dragon.
Their eyes lock, and the golden dragon's vertical pupil noticeably contracts.
He raises his Longbow instantly, loosing three arrows straight at the golden dragon.
The three blazing arrows arrive in the blink of an eye; the golden dragon, while wary, does not dodge or avoid.
At that moment, a voice came from the distance, "Marl, your enemy is below."
The three arrows that hit their mark instantly fell downwards.
Piercing through several archers, the arrows disappeared from sight.
The Golden Dragon's gaze became even more resolute as it accelerated once again, diving down.
Energy began to converge in the massive dragon maw.
Dragon Breath was about to descend.
The God of Hunting's expression remained indifferent as he casually pointed a finger.
With a gesture, a red mark appeared on the top of the Golden Dragon's head.
The next second!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Arrows came from all directions, piercing the Golden Dragon's body in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, numerous bloody holes burst open, and the dragon let out a pain-filled roar, its diving figure starting to wobble and struggle.
This scene took Fang Hao by surprise from a distance.
This type of attack could not even be disturbed.
The Golden Dragon was soaked in blood, steadied its form, but dared not continue its dive.
Its form twisted, transforming into a human figure in mid-air.
A round of golden sun gradually took shape above its head.
Vast thermal energy began to gather around.
The God of Hunting's sharp eyes revealed a trace of wariness.
Just as the golden sun was about to form, he pointed his finger casually.
Whoosh~!
A flash of silver brilliance, and the Dragon Queen's head was penetrated in an instant.
The golden sun was interrupted abruptly, and the Dragon Queen's body violently fell from the sky.
Bang!
A muffled sound of impact echoed.
The body of the Golden Dragon smashed heavily into the ground.
Kicking up a vast cloud of dust.
The God of Hunting looked contemptuously at Fang Hao in the distance, seemingly mocking their overestimation of their own abilities.
He strode towards where the Dragon Queen had fallen.
Once again, he raised his bow and arrow, pulling the bowstring taut.
"Marl, your arms are unusable."
The God of Hunting paused his movement slightly, but then drew his bow to the full again.
Whoosh whoosh!!
Two more arrows pierced through the Dragon Queen's neck and heart.
Head, neck, and heart, all penetrated.
Blood started to pump out profusely.
Fang Hao was taken aback.
Clearly, the Dragon Queen had lost the ability to resist, and even if not dead, she was now in a dying state.
He ordered the Double-Headed Corpse Dragon above to go down and attack the God of Hunting.
His mind began contemplating strategies; neither he nor the Dragon Queen seemed to be a match for him.
He glanced at the still numerous forces of both sides in front of him.
A firm resolve settled in his heart.
Clouds shimmering with Thunderbolt immediately hung down threads, connecting all the remnants of both sides' forces.
It was as if a pause button had been pressed.
Apart from the deities, all forces froze in place, their postures bizarre.
Then, the threads tensed up instantly, and all the soldiers and constructs were lifted into the air, filling the sky.
The next second, like marionettes, they densely appeared all around the 'God of Hunting'.
Person pressing against person.
Packed tightly together, leaving not a single gap.
The God of Hunting's eyes hardened suddenly.
The God of Deception?
Why would such a despicable deity, one who hides in the shadows, gain the trust of the Dragon Clan's deity?
His gaze swiftly cut through the layers of marionettes, looking into the distance.
He saw several threads pulling the deity of the Dragon Clan quickly backwards.
The God of Hunting waved his longbow, turning it into sharp Moon Blades.
The obstacles before him fell in swathes.
Pulling the bow, he shot arrows in a fan shape, killing a large number of approaching marionettes.
But their corpses still hung in the air, thwarting his sight and movements.
The God of Hunting stepped lightly, his body shooting up into the sky as swiftly as the wind.
His eyes scanned around.
Only to see Fang Hao, who had already dragged the deity of the Dragon Clan into the Gate of the Worlds.
Disappearing from sight.
Sizzle~Crack!
The next second, silver serpents descended along the threads from the clouds.
All of the hanging forces died instantly.
The pupils of the God of Hunting contracted, somewhat startled by the series of actions.
He couldn't understand why he had to kill all his own forces before leaving.
But he quickly tapped the ground with his foot, moving swiftly towards the direction of the Gate of the Worlds.
He had discerned it was a portal.
It definitely connected to their respective locations; just passing through the portal would allow him to determine the position of the other side.
However, just as he was approaching it.
Gurgle...
Suddenly, a black and white cube was thrown out from the light screen.
Rolling to his feet.
And three stone pillars instantly transformed into a small dagger, disappearing in a whoosh.
The God of Hunting's eyebrows furrowed instantly.
He looked around and saw his domain in ruins, his eyes filled with towering Rage.
"God of Deception..., I'm going to make you...,"
Before he could finish shouting, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
The black and white cube at his feet began to hop about restlessly.
The next second, it erupted with a tremendous and terrifying breath of qi.
The black and white cube started to click and turn.
An unknown space overlapped with the plane.
And at the intersection of the two spaces.
A huge figure slowly stepped out.
The God of Hunting's eyes widened, his expression shifting from anger and confusion to undisguised fear.
