"What incredible power!"
Shi Feng stared at the crater formed by Mythic Light, clicking his tongue in amazement. The terrifying destructive force far surpassed even the Flame Domain, because the Flame Domain could only inflict massive damage — it couldn't reshape the terrain the way Mythic Light could.
Changing the terrain might seem trivial, but it could be extremely useful at times, especially during siege warfare. Terrain destruction dealt far more damage to structures than any siege weapon, because once the ground was destroyed, a building's natural defenses and protective magic arrays would also be compromised, making it far easier to demolish.
In his previous life, every major guild had treated terrain-destroying equipment and items as strategic resources.
A weapon like Glory's Will could no longer be classified as an anti-personnel weapon — it was an anti-fortress weapon.
And it already possessed this level of power now. Once he gathered enough magic crystals and Solar Essence, its destructive capability would undoubtedly increase even further.
At this moment, it wasn't just Shi Feng who was awestruck by the devastation of Mythic Light. Not far away, Bumie Zhanxin and Feng Qianyu stood frozen, and the Dark Hunter members who had been about to charge at Bai Qingxue were all rooted to the spot.
"What kind of skill is this? How can it be this powerful?"
Terrain destruction wasn't unheard of — many high-level magic scrolls could achieve it. But the level of devastation caused by Mythic Light was absolutely unprecedented. A crater five or six meters deep had already turned into scorching magma. It was simply too shocking to witness.
Watching seventy to eighty people instantly reduced to ash, they were genuinely frightened.
The earlier barrage of Light of Will strikes had been one thing — they could at least dodge those to some degree. But facing such a massive area-of-effect attack, unless they possessed an invincibility-type skill, there was absolutely no way to evade it.
Now, as everyone looked at Bai Qingxue standing calmly in place, each of them felt greed, yes — but fear was far stronger. What's more, the magma crater left by Mythic Light had completely severed their path toward Bai Qingxue and cut their retreat route in half. At this point, the only thing on their minds was escape.
After all, no one knew whether Bai Qingxue would use this technique again. Just like the earlier Light of Will, she had fired it repeatedly, one after another, until she had outright killed Team Leader Black Shark.
No one present was a fool. They weren't afraid of dying, but they didn't want to die for nothing either.
The natural death caused by the Beginner Dragonkin Potion wouldn't cause any equipment to drop, and the experience loss was only 50%. But if they were killed by another player during the process, they would still lose their weapons and equipment, and the experience loss would be a full 100%.
"How does the Zero Wing Guild have someone this formidable?" Shen Yin, who was retreating, watched the Dark Hunter members gripped with fear and couldn't help feeling a measure of shock herself.
According to their intelligence, Zero Wing was a powerful guild, but it was absolutely not supposed to be this powerful — especially someone like Bai Qingxue, who had single-handedly killed over a hundred Dark Hunter elites.
Dark Hunter's elites were no ordinary players plucked off the streets. They were handpicked experts drawn from among dark players, had undergone extensive system training, and since dark players constantly fought among themselves, their combat ability far exceeded that of ordinary expert players. Sending these experts to kill over a hundred regular players would be entirely plausible.
But now Bai Qingxue had wiped out a tenth of Dark Hunter's forces all by herself. That was genuinely terrifying.
"Team Leader, the other team leaders say they're almost here. Two of the adventure teams are very close — they'll arrive in two or three minutes. They're hoping we can hold Zero Wing in place," reported a level-55 female Priest wearing an exquisite blue robe and holding a silver staff.
"Two or three minutes?" Shen Yin fell into thought, then said, "Send an urgent message to Dark Hunter. Tell them to stall with everything they've got — reinforcements are arriving soon."
The key to assassinating guild leadership lay in the first strike. These guild leaders had been caught completely off guard. If the first attempt failed, succeeding afterward would be far harder.
Right now, the leaders of all three major guilds had been trapped by Black Shark's binding and couldn't escape the Dark Domain. The chances of getting another opportunity like this were virtually nonexistent.
Moreover, once all of their Soul of Darkness adventure teams — more than a dozen in total — converged on this location, no matter how skilled the three major guilds' experts were, they would all die here.
"But Team Leader, the Zero Wing side is too strong. They can kill even Dark Hunter's Dragonkin at will. I'm afraid Dark Hunter won't even last two minutes before they're completely wiped out, and then we'll be the ones taking losses," the female Priest said worriedly, watching the Dark Hunter numbers dwindle. "Besides, those Dark Hunter people will surely see through it and won't cooperate."
Though they all belonged to Soul of Darkness, the adventure teams were also competitors with each other. There was no reason for one team to sacrifice itself for another's benefit.
"I understand," Shen Yin said. "Notify the Iron Blade Team — they don't need to hold back anymore. Send them to help Dark Hunter stall Zero Wing!"
"Send them out, Team Leader? Won't we be revealing this trump card too early?" the female Priest exclaimed in alarm.
Every adventure team had its secrets. Dark Hunter's Dragonkin Potion was a prime example — if Dark Hunter hadn't used it, they never would have known about it.
Although their Shadow Claw team didn't have something like the Dragonkin Potion, they had their own ace up their sleeve.
"It doesn't matter. Holding Zero Wing's people in place takes priority," Shen Yin waved dismissively.
If they didn't stall Zero Wing now, the weapons and equipment on Zero Wing's members would slip completely out of their reach. She had noticed clearly that the gear on Zero Wing's leadership was at least a tier above what she, an adventure team leader, possessed. If they could get their hands on it, the quest that Shadow Claw had been perpetually putting off would finally become feasible.
