Chapter 261 Kael'thas
On the fierce battlefield, the roar of colliding energies was like an endless thunderclap, making people's eardrums ache.
Broken abyssal rocks mingled with scattered magical light fragments, rendering the land like a post-apocalyptic scroll.
Lin Tian was fighting four opponents alone. Although he managed to hold on with his extraordinary attributes and exquisite skill combos, the four Abyss Generals were cooperating more and more seamlessly, like a noose that was tightening, gradually compressing his space to move.
Gruul's Rockbreaker cleaved down again with immense force. Lin Tian dodged quickly, and the light of his Star Leap shone somewhat hastily, barely avoiding the main attack. However, the violent energy from the blade still made his robes flutter and even left a shallow crack.
For the first time, his previously steady breathing became noticeably disordered.
"Hahaha! He's almost done for! Give it your all!" Gruul roared excitedly upon seeing this, and his attack became even more ferocious.
On the other side, Sasowar's Shadow Arrows were like a persistent leech, always appearing precisely at the landing point where Lin Tian dodged, forcing him to constantly expend mana to block or reposition himself.
Mal'Ganis's invisible curse field was like a quagmire, continuously weakening his condition and making each spell he cast feel heavier than usual.
The most dangerous one was Shaheras, who was like a ghost on the battlefield, her twin blades flashing and aimed straight at Lin Tian's vitals.
In a brilliant coordinated attack, Gruul's War Stomp shook the earth, causing Lin Tian to pause slightly. Immediately, Shaheras's poisoned blade shot out from the shadows behind him like a venomous snake, aiming straight for his heart!
"Watch out!" Celia exclaimed, disregarding her own safety, she forcefully activated [Shadow Thorns], and several shadow thorns instantly burst from the ground, wrapping around Shaheras's wrist.
"Annoying little trick!" Shahras flicked her wrist, and the sharp blade cut through the thorns, but this obstruction ultimately slowed her attack by half a beat.
Seizing this fleeting moment, Lin Tian, without turning his head, flicked his staff backward—the shockwave of [Arcane Explosion] exploded behind him, forcing Sahras back.
However, in order to deal with this sneak attack, he had to take two Shadow Bolts that just missed him. The Flame Shield on his shoulder fluctuated violently and dimmed a little.
"Brother Tian!" Celia was extremely anxious. She could feel that Lin Tian's pressure was increasing and his mana consumption was rising rapidly, while the enemy's attacks were like waves, one stronger than the next.
Her own magic power was also running out, and the mental impact of [Succubus's Kiss] had little effect on these determined lords. The restraint of [Shadow Weaver] was also becoming increasingly ineffective.
"This can't go on!" Celia's voice trembled with despair.
"Let's break through! Or... I'll hold them off while you go!" A resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
Lin Tiange used the force of Gruul's heavy slash to fly backward, slightly panting.
His face was somewhat pale, and fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead. The continuous high-intensity battles and the corrosive effects of the curse had clearly taken a toll on him.
He did not answer Celia immediately, his gaze still calmly sweeping across the battlefield, as if he were calculating something.
Just then, Malganis, who had been waiting for an opportunity, caught a glimpse of Lin Tian's momentary "fatigue".
Its illusory spirit suddenly let out a piercing soul shriek, and a curse energy that was even colder and more concentrated than before began to gather wildly—[Soul Shackles]!
This is a powerful curse capable of instantly stripping a target of most of their mobility!
At the same time, the soul fire burned fiercely in the eye sockets of the skull at the top of Sasorvar's Staff, and a huge shadow magic circle quickly took shape under Lin Tian's feet - [Shadow Imprisonment]!
Gruul and Shaheras understood each other perfectly, blocking all of Lin Tian's possible evasion routes from the left and right!
The decisive situation has been set!
Celia's face turned deathly pale. She could feel the terrifying power contained within the [Soul Shackles]. Once it hit, Lin Tian would be completely reduced to a lamb to the slaughter!
Just when everyone thought Lin Tian was doomed—
Lin Tian, who had been frowning as if he were under immense pressure and pain, had eyes that, beneath his lowered eyelids, were like the deepest night sky, sweeping over the towering and menacing gates of the Dark Erosion City in the distance.
The next moment, unnoticed by anyone, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly upwards in an extremely subtle way, outlining a fleeting, delicate curve as if some expectation had finally been fulfilled.
That was by no means a bitter smile of despair or helplessness, but more like... a quiet smugness after a successful scheme.
Just as Mal'Ganis's Soul Shackles were about to erupt, and Sasorvar's Shadow Imprisonment spell circle shone brightly—
"Buzz!!!"
An indescribable, terrifying pressure, a mixture of ultimate majesty, boundless darkness, and pure abyssal aura, descended from the center of Dark Erosion City, sweeping across the entire battlefield, like an ancient beast suddenly awakening!
The pressure was so powerful and domineering that even the berserk Gruul, the cold Sasovar, the cunning Sahras, and the spirit Mal'Ganis involuntarily stopped what they were doing, their faces showing awe and submission, and they all bowed in the direction from which the pressure came.
The turbulent energy currents on the battlefield seemed to be forcibly smoothed out by this oppressive force, falling into an eerie stagnation.
The massive city gates of Dark Erosion City, resembling the fangs of a living behemoth, slowly opened inward with a deep rumble.
A figure, bathed in the dense shadows emanating from within the city gate, strode out unhurriedly.
He wore an incomparably luxurious dark purple robe, embroidered with intricate and ancient abyssal runes in dark gold thread, as if flowing with the melody of night and sin.
His pale face was so handsome it was almost eerie, and his scarlet eyes were like two pools of congealed blood, so deep they were unfathomable. Just being swept by his gaze made one feel as if their soul had been frozen.
It is Kael'thas, the current ruler of Darkevil City and Celia's uncle.
His appearance carried with it an absolute domain, as if he were the embodiment of the rules of this abyssal land.
Kael'thas's gaze first swept over Lin Tian, who was in the arena with a "weak" aura and seemed to have to struggle to even stand, as if he were looking at dust. The contempt and indifference in his eyes were undisguised.
Immediately, his gaze passed over Lin Tian and, like a venomous snake locking onto its prey, firmly and accurately fixed itself on Celia, whose face was pale and whose delicate body was trembling slightly.
That gaze held a sense of "gratification" as if a stolen treasure had been found, a condescending "care," and a chilling possessiveness hidden beneath.
