Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 215 The Bulwark of Light! Li Xia's Godlike Reaction
The gleaming blade cleaved the monster in front of him in two.

Dual Blades habitually opened the temporary team panel, then slowly frowned.

34.88% is quite a bit off.

This small team has only three lone wolves, which creates a very interesting situation.

Everyone is guarding their own street; whoever is at the bottom is a trash lone wolf.

Well, maybe only Shuangdao himself thinks so, but he undoubtedly wants to compete with the other two.

"Zi la - zi la -"

The walkie-talkie hanging on my shoulder was emitting static again.

Recalling what he had heard before, Shuangdao's eyes flickered slightly.

This temporary team is probably nearing its end, but unfortunately, the opportunity to transcend hasn't arrived yet.

If I could grind for another day, I could definitely reach the maximum!

"Sizzle—sizzle—sizzle"

The static in the walkie-talkie grew louder and louder, and Shuangdao frowned as he took the walkie-talkie away.

What a piece of junk! There's still static at such close range. I don't know where they got this piece of trash from.

Just as I was about to turn it off, I suddenly noticed that the static in the walkie-talkie had disappeared.

He only felt a sharp buzzing sound in his ears, which then disappeared without a trace.

The walkie-talkie also fell silent, no longer making any sound.

Looking at the seemingly broken walkie-talkie, Shuangdao suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Without much hesitation, he turned to leave.

But a thin curtain of light blocked his way.

The twin swordsmen's pupils contracted. A sealing barrier? Who? When?
He gripped the hilt of the knife, and a bright light emanated from the blade, making his ominous premonition grow stronger.

Just then, a blurry figure suddenly appeared behind him.

But the two swords seemed oblivious.

Until that figure pulled him into her arms.

"Boss, what if they scatter?"

An apostle lay prone on the low ruins, observing the square and streets hundreds of meters away.

A blue flame ignited on the lighter, and wisps of smoke billowed from his mouth. The captain squinted and said nonchalantly:

"Scatter? Perhaps, but if I were the organizer, this would probably be the time to activate our backup plan."

"A backup plan? What backup plan?"

Seeing his teammates staring at him with wide, inquisitive eyes, the captain shook his head helplessly:

"I've told you guys to use your brains more often, instead of always waiting for me to figure it out. What if I have something to do or can't answer it? Are you just going to wait to die?"

But seeing the looks in his underlings' eyes, the captain still said:

“When apostles do things, they value reward the most. Very few apostles would do things without considering the reward.”

Especially when organizing such activities, how could anyone do something so thankless and exhausting without greater financial incentives?

What's the bigger benefit? It's definitely related to the plaza, which is why he spared no effort in organizing manpower to clear the monsters.

The fewer monsters there are, the greater his chances of profiting.

The captain exhaled a puff of smoke: "Of course, this is just the most likely possibility. As for something deeper, that's difficult to say."

"So what if we do nothing and just wait here—we won't gain anything either?"

"But there is an opportunity—an opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

The captain flicked off his cigarette ash, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's: "We'll just wait here, waiting for the organizers to reveal their trump card themselves."

If there's no opportunity, that's fine; but if there is...

Li Xia suddenly stopped what she was doing, straightened up, and looked around.

A strange feeling was rising in my heart, a warning from my intuition.

Misfortune seemed to have caught a whiff of something; even though luck remained unmoved, it still trembled slightly at the waist.

"go!"

He sheathed his spear without hesitation, even as the corrupted tree golems continued to surge towards him from behind.

Running at full speed, he was already far away from the street in just a short while.

But that strange feeling didn't disappear; on the contrary, it grew heavier and heavier, like dark clouds in the sky.

It's not because of the distance.
what is that?
"My lord, one of the apostles has escaped; it's that lone wolf with the cat."

Guge laughed; what a keen sense of smell.
such a pity.
Thunder Spear. Dragon Scale Armor.
This person should be the top player in the second-tier arena, the second-tier supreme Xia?
Legend has it that this apostle rose to power at an unbelievable speed, directly breaking through the arena with terrifying strength.

Even the original leader was beaten to death in a manner that was almost 'humiliating'.

He probably didn't even realize it himself, because his burning flames were too dazzling.

And then there are those ridiculously powerful close-combat techniques.

The apostles described them as 'those who die the closest they come, like flames.'

Therefore, he was given the nickname 'Summer of the Crimson Lotus'.

Gug licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement.

Being able to watch the first person die under one's own scheme is a thrilling and exhilarating pleasure!
Her once rough skin has become pale and delicate, and the clothes she had long been tired of and disgusted with have been transformed into a magnificent tuxedo.

He elegantly pulled out a parchment shimmering with a deep purple light from his personal space. The holy light emanating from it made Gug narrow his eyes in disgust.

"The show has begun!"

use!

Li Xia's unease suddenly intensified, and misfortune let out an excited hiss.

A hazy white light appeared on my body, carrying a warm power.

It's clearly a positive thing, yet it's terrifying.

Li Xia's eyes widened suddenly. In that split second, he almost instinctively raised his right foot and stomped hard on the ground.

Countless runes, as numerous and twisted as tadpoles, spread rapidly from beneath his feet and disappeared into the air.

The previously empty air suddenly began to shimmer.

It seemed as if there were illusory chains crisscrossing in the air.

The white light trembled violently for a while before slowly dissipating.

Li Xia felt her heart pounding violently, and that lingering unease strangely disappeared.

Only then did he have time to check the panel prompts:
[Hint: Temporary raid leader Gug has used the item: Radiant Barrier!]

[Notice: Transmission has been interrupted due to the ban!]

Send!
Aowu and Heitan were just waking up from the shock of what had just happened and hurriedly surrounded them.

"Your Highness, just now—"

Li Xia's expression was somber as he directly shared the panel.

Glorious Bulwark

[Grade: Purple - Ultimate]

[Category: One-time consumable item]

Radiance: Within the barrier, all members will receive 500 health points per second in healing, and their mana regeneration rate will be increased by 100%. It also dispels various abnormal statuses.

Bulwark: Generates a highly durable barrier that can absorb damage and teleports all team members inside. When the barrier is broken, it releases a powerful shockwave that causes widespread damage.

Barrier damage value: Absorbs 80% of damage.
[Evaluation: The walls of heaven will hold back the enemy and heal the wounds.]

"Teleportation??"

Awoo's mouth gaped open, completely unprepared for such a thing. It asked eagerly:
"Your Highness, what's the use of teleporting in? There are over thirty apostles there!"

Furthermore, there are positive buffs within the Light Barrier!

Most importantly, team members must not harm each other!

Li Xia's brain was working at an unprecedented speed, and everything that had happened since the team was formed seemed to flash through his mind like a revolving lantern.

The images gradually came together, and something seemed to be emerging.

"Next step."

Li Xia suddenly turned his gaze to the square. In the distance, a white semi-circular protective wall had risen up. It was a barrier of light formed by a purple, one-time-use scroll!

I quickly glanced at the current team size. Excluding the 'Earthquake Wave Squad' that was wiped out, there were 35 people left!
"The next step is to reduce the number of people to less than 30, but how do we do that?"

With no possibility of mutual harm, reducing the number of people to 35 requires external assistance.

External forces?

if it was me
Li Xia's eyes widened, and an unbelievable thought popped into her head: Could it be...?
With a single movement, it flew directly into the air.

In the distance, a figure emitting a distorted black light flickered incessantly.

As we moved toward the Barrier of Light, it felt as if someone was using their mental power to lure us away every so often.

Damn! Ascended Amodrich!

As expected, the Ascended Amodrich has a peculiar characteristic: it chases after spiritual power.

It's also easy to pull it away. As long as you make good use of this feature, this twisted monster is the easiest dog to summon!

Li Xia's breathing gradually became rapid, and he seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what Gu Ge was going to do next.

He's going to lure Ascended Amodrich into the Light Barrier!
Li Xia didn't know if the Light Barrier could block teleportation, but judging from how easily the previous sealing technique could stop the Light Barrier's teleportation, it was clear that Li Xia was unsure.

Its priority must be very, very low. At least Gug dares to do this, so he is sure that the ascendants will be able to enter the Light Barrier!

But is one Ascended being enough?

Around the plaza, the apostles rose from the ruins like bamboo shoots, their eyes fixed on the Barrier of Light in the center of the plaza.

An atmosphere of a predatory hunt was spreading, and their hearts were pounding.

The apostles' hidden nature rejoiced.

When there is no opportunity, they will lie low and endure, and they will be rational.

But when opportunity presented itself to them...
"They'll become the craziest gamblers ever!"

Gugge had completely changed; he was swirling the crystal glass in his hand, which contained a strange liquid as red as blood.

His sculpted, handsome face was completely devoid of color. He arrogantly curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a disdainful smile.

Two sharp fangs were revealed by the movement of the lips:
"I'll stay here and watch—go!"

Two apostles, dressed identically, placed one hand on their chests and bowed deeply.
"Your will, Viscount Gulagg."
