Arrows (2)

One after another, they broke through the entrance completely.

Queto watched as the defense line was breached from the inside, his expression filled with joy.

Without hesitation, he shouted for the mountain trolls to charge.

The defense line crumbled as countless trolls, armed with bone blades and tridents, forcefully entered, occupying the narrow entrance and trapping the Crown of the Ocean’s forces inside.

The situation took a drastic turn.

They found themselves in a significant disadvantage.

Seeing the trolls about to seize the last inch of the entrance, Ji Chen felt a slight unease.

Once the trolls forced him into the underground hall, it would be nearly impossible to push them back out, resulting in even greater losses.

However, they still had half an hour left until the weakening spell formation ended, and it seemed impossible to hold out until then given the current situation.

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and decided to try something that had crossed his mind.

He closed his eyes.

Communicating with the mana inside his body, due to the suppression of the spell formation, the mana that flowed through his limbs and bones resembled small trickles. No matter how he drove it, the damage caused by using spells at this intensity was minimal.

However, he didn’t focus on the small trickles of mana. Instead, he directed his attention to the core.

The Tide Domain.

The domain manifested, and a ring of interlocking energy emerged around him. They repelled each other, but the Tide Domain clearly had the upper hand.

Perhaps it was more accurate to say that the Tide Domain operated on a higher level, capable of perfectly suppressing the weakening spell formation.

The Tide Domain didn’t swiftly push the formation away, but it did so steadily and with remarkable stability. It efficiently moved the formation to a maximum distance of 200 meters, and his own presence stayed strong and unwavering.

As he unleashed the Tide Domain, he felt his body ease up. The mana within him flowed like a mighty river and even created a swirling vortex of magic energy around him.

Having accomplished all this, Ji Chen slowly opened his eyes and felt the restored power.

A faint smile curved his lips.

Indeed, the Tide Domain could resist the weakening spell formation, just like it could counter negative force fields.

Domain skills were superior to both.

Their essence was almost the same, with the only difference being that the former was long-lasting while the latter was short-term.

Observing the intense battle before him, Ji Chen raised his right hand and lifted his fingers.

As he made these gestures, the muddy water gathered from above condensed into thin water blades as delicate as cicada wings.

With a thought.

Whoosh!

The water blades, like arrows drawn taut on a bowstring, shot out with unstoppable sharpness, piercing through the bodies of the trolls.

The trolls charging in fell like harvested wheat.

Feeling the majesty of their lord, the morale of the Crown of the Ocean’s forces soared. They pressed on, not only completely driving the trolls out of the entrance but also launching a counterattack, pushing them back.

The battlefield situation once again took a dramatic turn.

The battle shifted from the entrance to the open ground in front. With the edge of Ji Chen’s magic, the smaller Crown of the Ocean force pursued and slaughtered the much larger troll army.

Queto hadn’t had much time to celebrate when he saw the trolls who had just entered falling one after another in front of the water blades, some even pushed back.

Looking at Ji Chen’s formidable display of power, Queto’s face turned ironclad, and he angrily turned his head once more.

“You said you had used a Scroll of Weak Magic, didn’t you? Then why can he still cast such a powerful spell?”

The silver-masked Deceiver was also quite shocked.

This divine heir actually possessed a domain skill. This was a power that only a very small number of strong individuals could have, and not even all epic-tier individuals necessarily possessed it.

It was a power comprehensible only to a very few geniuses.

Under the mask of the silver Deceiver, his face twisted with jealousy, hatred, and disgust.

These emotions converged into a strong desire to kill Ji Chen.

This mixed-blood divine heir had to be eliminated!

“Bring up that Godslaying Crossbow.”

Hearing this, the iron-masked Deceiver hesitated for a moment. “But the Godslaying Crossbow is prepared for the future mission…”

The silver-masked Deceiver, on the other hand, remained calm at this moment and said slowly, “This divine heir’s threat has increased significantly, and possessing a domain skill means that he will only become more powerful in the future.

We planned to let him enter the encirclement this time. If we don’t take this opportunity to kill him today, it will be ten times harder to find an opportunity to kill him in the future.”

“Shouldn’t we report this to our superiors first? After all, the Godslaying Crossbow is extremely rare…”

“Hmph, by the time the report reaches them and we wait for orders, this divine heir might have broken through the encirclement and returned to the control zone of the Maple Principality.

Thus it is decided, and 1 alone will bear the consequences!” declared the silver-masked Deceiver, defying all objections, and immediately ordered the attack.

Ji Chen followed behind the Crown of the Ocean’s forces, unleashing full firepower, constantly condensing water blades, and causing widespread casualties.

The once formidable army of several thousand mountain trolls had now become sparse, with at least two thousand dead or injured. Those remaining were demoralized, lacking the fighting spirit they had before.

If it weren’t for the troll leader watching from behind, they would have likely already been defeated.

Seeing this, Ji Chen decided to add fuel to the fire.

“Alice!”

Siren Alice, who had been following closely at his side and was within the Tide Domain’s range, had already fully recovered her strength.

She began to sing again, a beautiful but bloodthirsty melody.

The mountain trolls had no resistance to this music, and a batch of them immediately switched sides, making the already retreating trolls even more chaotic.

Meanwhile, when Ji Chen’s troops heard the song, they became invigorated and enthusiastic, filled with a desire to defeat their foes decisively, as if they could take down two enemies with a single blow.

It seemed that the situation was already set.

Ji Chen looked at the masked Deceivers, turned his head left and right, and finally locked eyes on the Deceiver with the silver mask.

You’re the little bastard who blocked me here with the trolls, aren’t you?

Watch me knock your head crooked and smash your mask.

He was about to condense a few water blades and charge straight at him.

But at this moment, the Deceiver with the silver mask suddenly pushed out a strange-looking contraption from his side. From the middle of it extended a runic arrow as thick as a baby’s arm, indicating it was some kind of war machinery.

When Ji Chen’s gaze shifted to the crossbow bolt that was slowly aiming at him, he suddenly felt an extreme chill emanating from the depths of his soul, as if he were being targeted by something terrifying, causing even his breath to stagnate.

There was only one thought in his mind.

Dodge, or else he would die!

In the blink of an eye.

This runic arrow had already aligned itself with him. The runes and patterns on the jet-black bolt body suddenly lit up, flickering with a bloody hue, and a scent of blood filled the air.

The black-red patterns appeared particularly eerie.

In the next moment, the runic arrow was released with a sudden snap of the drawn bowstring. Wherever it passed, space trembled, leaving behind shattered black lines.

This arrow could tear through space!

In a daze, it felt like several red threads were connecting the arrow to him, giving him the feeling that it would hit him no matter what.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen gave up on the idea of evading by moving his body.

This kind of ability, capable of tearing through space and even binding the attacks of the target, was simply something his physique, fundamentally that of a mage, couldn’t dodge.

It was just half a breath.

In that brief moment, the runic arrow covered more than a hundred meters, hurtling toward him with a wake of shattered black threads.

Four or five Naga Berserkers tried to block it when they saw this scene, but they were pierced through like paper, leaving behind terrifying blood holes.

Even their attempts to stop it couldn’t slow down the runic arrow’s speed by the slightest bit.

Alice and Benbo, who were fighting desperately, saw this scene and their pupils widened in shock. They shouted desperately, “Lord, be careful!!!”

Watching the arrow flying straight towards him, with a distance of less than twenty or thirty meters now, Ji Chen smiled faintly.

In the next moment, he disappeared from sight.

Losing its target, the runic arrow shook for a moment and then flew straight through, shattering a mountain behind..
