Chapter 651: Deathfiend Spider Vs. Death Barrier

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Deity’s Realm.

It was a unique ability possessed only by Divine beings. Yaeger had mentioned this to Qin Ruo once before. From certain aspects, the Deity’s Realm was considered to be more powerful than Gravity Field or the Innate Talent of a Tier 4 Ultimate.

In the past, the five Demigod Champions led by Edgar were destroyed by none other than the Deity’s Realm. The insuperable power of the Realm was the reason they had to abandon their fallen comrades and flee to safety.

When the Realm was activated, only Champion or creature of the same tier could ignore the Realm’s debuff; while only one outcome awaited those from lower tiers—massacre!

The Grand Reaper evoked Deity’s Realm out of fury after half of its Death Barrier was diminished by the human adventurers. This move instantly tilted the balance of the battle to its advantage.

Priests had lost the ability to chant and purify.

Elementalists had lost the power to perceive and condense spell.

Warriors’ movements had also been greatly restrained.

The Purification effect of those gained through potion was also eradicated altogether. Even the use of Magic Scrolls was ineffective against the temporarily invincible Grand Reaper.

“Priests! Elemental Wave! Quick!” After he retreated from the perimeter of the Deity’s Realm, Dinosaurcerer turned back and howled at the Radiant Priest troop at the rear. Everyone shrouded by the Deity’s Realm was in immediate danger. If they didn’t remove the atrocious Realm immediately, the primary and secondary combat teams would collapse entirely. If that happened, the witty Grand Reaper would definitely not allow the ten thousand armies engaged around the battlefield to escape safely.

The Radiant Priests made no delay and came forward with their golden spells.

Unfortunately, the all-powerful Elemental Wave had met its match the first time. The spell failed to disperse the Deity’s Realm as the golden rays were barred by the death aura like it had hit a solid wall.

“...” Dinosaurcerer was dumbfounded. The entire troop was terrified by the outcome as well.

‘How is this possible? Why is Elemental Wave ineffective? What should we do now?’

Ten minutes was more than enough for the Grand Reaper to annihilate the two teams of vanguards. Without them, the remaining members from the four great Leagues would not stand a chance against the Divine Specter. That would spell the end of Project Pioneer.

Just as everyone felt heavy-hearted and helpless against the pitch black Deity’s Realm, a soft green light glowed from within the Realm and revealed the silhouettes that clearly belonged to Qin Ruo, Violet Orchid, Devilite, and few other Radiant Priests trapped inside.

‘Illuminating Crystal?!’

The sudden illumination stunned everyone inside and outside the Realm.

This was when a voice rang in Violet Orchid and Devilite’s blank mind, “Calm down, we are still safe for the time being. Deity’s Realm will have half a minute delay. The Grand Reaper cannot move or attack during this time. Now, I need everyone who has Illuminating Crystal with them to hand it over to the Bowmasters.”

Qin Ruo relayed the information he had obtained from Yaeger to alleviate the uneasiness among the troops while shouting to the guy nearest to Grand Reaper, “It’s time to summon that. Do it now!”

“Roger that!” Just as Judge responded steadily and calmly from inside, a few Bowmasters rushed out to the frontline rapidly.

They moved in sync.

Amid the soft sounds of bowstrings being released, noises of objects breaking through the wind soon followed. The crowd then saw a few green lights dragging a fine tail lacerating through the dark curtain of Deity’s Realm. The Realm which was in full darkness just a moment ago now looked like a starry night decorated by the Illuminating Crystals.

The lighted stone scattered in different directions to cover the entire Deity’s Realm. Qin Ruo, Violet Orchid, and Devilite also swiftly tossed more Illuminating Crystal to light up the dark area missed by the Bowmasters.

Though the Deity’s Realm had been activated, the Grand Reaper had fallen silent just like what Qin Ruo said.

When Homme Fatale threw a crystal near Judge, the green light brightened the still ferocious skull, as well as Judge who still stood firmly in front of the Death Barrier.

Surprisingly, there were two more unexpected figures that stood in between Judge and the Grand Reaper.

The first one was a Lich.

The dark grandmaster that symbolized mystery, prestige, and power had lost its usual charm in front of the colossal Grand Reaper.

Even so, the summoned Lich did not display any fear. It hovered silently in front of the Grand Reaper and carried out a stepwise condensation of Dark Spell carefully.

The other one was a giant spider that disseminated a terrible odor.

Anyone who had been to the third level of Aricus Underground Ruin could immediately recognize the monster.

Deathfiend Spider!

While the Lich was charging a spell in front of the Grand Reaper, the giant spider lifted up its huge buttock and rumbled as if it was in deep pain.

The lifted buttocks of the Deathfiend Spider continued to bloat and turned more and more glittery under the shine of the Illuminating Crystal.

Dinosaurcerer was flabbergasted to see the two powerful reinforcements. He peeked at the steady figure of Qin Ruo and thought in amazement, ‘So the few Sealed Cores are in Judge’s hand all along! What a clever arrangement! This is all within Qin Ruo’s grasp!’

Qin Ruo was expecting Grand Reaper to release Deity’s Realm and had made the necessary arrangements beforehand. After the Grand Reaper activated Deity’s Realm, it would be rendered immobile temporarily. He thus asked Judge to quickly summon Deathfiend Spider and breed the swamp of Explosive Spiders just beside the Death Barrier. This way, regardless of whether it was a Divine Specter or not, the Grand Reaper would not be able to withstand the lethal explosion at such close range.

Explosive Spider’s attack that neglected Defense, despite having a low damage count, was still dangerous due to its sheer number. Nevertheless, in reality, this trick no longer worked well anymore. This was because the spider would immediately self-destruct once it was hit by an opponent.

Hence, under normal circumstances, the Explosive Spiders would never be close enough to the Divine Specter and deal any meaningful damage. There was simply not enough time to deploy them, let alone the fact that an AoE spell by the Grand Reaper would instantly evaporate the entire group of the little and delicate creatures.

However, the ultra-specific restriction criteria set by the Deity’s Realm happened to provide the human players with a rare opportunity.

The Innate Talent of a monster was not affected by the Realm’s power.

Poof!

The sound indicated that something had burst opened due to overstretching. After the soft noise, black Explosive Spiders rolled to the ground from the Deathfiend Spider buttocks like a running tide.

The spiders extended its eight legs and dashed wobbly toward the Grand Reaper.

The tiny spiders did not move particularly quick, but the distance was short enough for them to reach in time (Judge stood less than a meter from the giant skull, and the Deathfiend Spider was summoned just next to the Grand Reaper).

The large swamp of spiders only needed to move two meters and they would be well within the range of self destruct and hurting the Demigod’s Soul on the Barrier. The whole process would not take more than a few seconds.

Under Judge’s command, countless Explosive Spiders soon flooded the space beneath the Death Barrier.

Judge raised his head slightly to look at the large and hideous skull face created by the Grand Reaper. Although his face was hidden under a thick helmet, one could tell Judge was looking at it in disdain.

‘I believe the Grand Reaper must be filled with regret like a human usually would by now. It should have created his Death Barrier higher. Hehe!’

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Explosive Spiders suddenly burst into a sea of explosions right under the Grand Reaper without any warning.

For the first time ever since the fight had begun, the entire Death Barrier trembled unstoppably with the skull face twisted in horror. It suffered one wave of suicidal explosion after another in great dismay.

Poof! Poof! Poof!

The Demigod skulls that made up the Barrier dissipated into black smoke quicker than ever. In less than three seconds, more than forty souls were seen curling away from the Death Barrier at one time and made quite a ghastly scene.

The passing of the more than forty souls also signified that the Tier 7 Divine Barrier had been completely shattered by a group of Tier 5 players.

***

“...”

‘It’s done! I can’t believe they really have done it!’

Yaeger’s mood swayed like a raging storm after he witnessed the entire process from a safe distance.

Seeing Qin Ruo and co. were able to force the Deity’s Realm early into the fight had astonished him enough. He did not expect the group of Tier 5 Warriors to go a step further and take advantage of the Deity’s Realm weakness. They easily destroyed the Divine Barrier while Deity’s Realm was in effect by utilizing a lowly Gifted Creature he never even heard of.

Boom!

Yaeger took in a deep breath as he saw the crumbling skull. He couldn’t help but lament in his mind. ‘No wonder he could get the permission from Warrior of Hundred-Battle.”

Up until this point, the casualty in Qin Ruo’s parties was still nil.

If Qin Ruo’s group could endure through the remaining time of the Deity’s Realm, maybe, just maybe, these Tier 5 Warriors could really bring down the Divine Specter and put their forty years of misery to an end.

However, even though the Death Barrier was destroyed, the Deity’s Realm would still be in effect for another nine minutes and thirty seconds.

Edgar’s team lost two Demigod comrades when they were clouded by the ultimate skill. It was unlikely that anyone within a hundred-meter radius of the Divine Specter to hurt the powerful monster during this period.

In Yaeger’s opinion, if the Grand Reaper went mad due to the loss of the Death Barrier, then...

Other than the Steel Berserker who might withstand two to three waves of attack, most of them would probably be instantly killed by the furious specter.

Yaeger frowned and suppressed his urge to return to the camp. He continued to lurk near the battlefield as he wished to see the battle to its end.

It was at this exact moment that he heard a voice filled with anger and disappointment. The thunderous bellow boomed in the eardrums of every Fallen Angels member. “Filthy humans! I shall rinse my dishonor with thy blood!”

In the midst of the deafening roar, a clear human-like figure appeared from the disintegrating Barrier. The cloak on the creature was blown open by the rampant wind, exposing a devilish, tyrannical, yet handsome face underneath it. Here comes the Grand Reaper!
