When the High-rank Great Lord evil demons appeared on the battlefield, everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze toward them, observing the High-rank Great Lords' movements.
If it were merely a level 70 Great Lord, it wouldn't be unmanageable for current players—though they'd need to be prepared to pay a steep price. But a level 70 High-rank Great Lord was a different story entirely.
Even the top-tier level-50 MTs of the current era would probably be unable to withstand more than two hits under normal circumstances, barely holding on for a moment only by activating burst skills. That was against regular High-rank Great Lords—let alone evil demons, whose combat abilities were absolutely at the level of expert players. Even with burst skills, it would be difficult to hold out.
Five such evil demons had appeared—how could anyone not focus on them with concern?
Although the various major powers had suspected beforehand that Heaven Burial would pull a move like this, they hadn't expected five High-rank Great Lords to appear all at once.
"As expected, they brought this trump card."
"Zero Wing is probably done for. Even a Tier 3 Summoning Scroll can't deal with a High-rank Great Lord evil demon, let alone five of them."
The various major powers watched the five evil demons charge toward Zero Wing's army, feeling a mix of schadenfreude in their hearts, while their expressions were equally grim.
They were happy because one fewer competitor was a good thing. But once Heaven Burial dealt with Zero Wing, there was no question that Heaven Burial would hold an absolute advantage with their five High-rank Great Lord evil demons and claim a massive number of slots without issue. When that happened, there would be far fewer left for the rest to fight over.
Just as everyone was pondering how to compete for slots going forward, the five High-rank Great Lord evil demons, led by Lei Jingyang, charged to the front lines.
"Forcing me to use my trump card this quickly—you Zero Wing people can take pride in that. But now, all of you can become food for the demons!" Lei Jingyang swept his gaze across Zero Wing's army ahead, a hint of mockery playing at the corners of his lips.
He then released control of the five evil demons and ordered them to slaughter Zero Wing's members.
"ROAR!"
The instant control was released, the five evil demons let out furious roars. Their eyes blazed with crimson light, and the demonic aura they radiated grew far more concentrated, directly reducing the perception of nearby players and making their entire bodies shudder.
Even Zero Wing's members, positioned further away, couldn't help but feel a chill run through their hearts.
"High-rank Great Lord evil demons?" Shi Feng glanced at the roaring demons and furrowed his brow slightly. Then, over party chat, he said, "Ke Le, you guys take the demons. Everyone else, focus on wiping out Heaven Burial's people!"
"Evil demons? Now there's a decent opponent." Ke Le looked at the demons and licked his lips.
"Perfect—I can use them to test out my new gear." Banjiu gazed at the Shield of Trembling clutched in his hands, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
Before coming to the Ancient Divine Ruins, Shi Feng had already distributed the weapons, equipment, and Skill Books obtained from Lost Town to Ke Le and the others. The Crown of Trembling and the Shield of Trembling went straight to Banjiu, while Ye Wumian took the Dragon Scale Shield.
Without hesitation, Ke Le and the others charged toward the five evil demons.
"Struggle all you like!"
Lei Jingyang watched the evil demons rush into the crowd, as though he could already see Zero Wing's Demonic Light team completely annihilated and the guild scattering in panic. He couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Just as the five evil demons that had stormed into Zero Wing's ranks raised their claws for a devastating strike, Ke Le was the first to reach them. Shield held high, he immediately unleashed Righteous Roar.
The dazzling burst of light made Ke Le the focal point of the entire battlefield. The five evil demons involuntarily halted their attacks and turned to face him.
"Using an AoE taunt? He's asking for death!" Lei Jingyang stared at the brilliant radiance emanating from Ke Le, his eyes full of disdain.
Even the best MT of the current era couldn't last more than a few moments against a single level-70 High-rank Great Lord evil demon. Drawing the aggro of all five with an AoE taunt meant swift, inevitable death.
In that instant, the five evil demons seemed to receive a summons—they appeared before Ke Le in the blink of an eye, their razor-sharp claws slashing down toward his skull.
