Chapter 909 - Apocalypse Storm (1/2)

All the players in the server watched as the battle in the City of Sin unfolded on livestream. Tens of thousands of flying mounts from both great powers were converging here.

Though for the most part they watched in awe, there was also a trace of concern as to which side would come out on top. Every single one of them, even the solo players, would be impacted to some extent by the outcome of this war.

In the sky above the City of Sin, Asskickers United was fighting bravely against the forces of Angel Corps. The tide of battle was slowing going in their favour, as they had fewer casualties, a powerful Rank 9 Darkwing Dragon—who had already killed over 60 enemy flying mounts—leading the vanguard, and the Spectre Dragon lending its support from the sidelines.

Before Fallen Angel could team up with Asskickers United, they were intercepted by the joint forces of the Century Financial Group and Pantheon. Even though the enemy possessed superior numbers, most of those were low rank flying mounts.

With different guilds fighting in different locations, each battle evolving in a different direction, it became impossible for the spectators on the ground to tell who was who. That said, the spectacular aerial battles left their hearts racing with excitement.

A giant ball of flames ignited in the sky, dyeing the horizon crimson. Several nearby flying mounts were instantly burned to death, mournful cries ringing out as they plummeted to the ground.

What astonishing flames!

Within these blinding flames flew an enormous phoenix.

“That’s Yao Yao’s Immortal Phoenix!”

Feeling the blistering heat sweeping over them, everyone paled.

“This fire energy is so pure… What a powerful phoenix!”

“Of course! That’s a Rank 8 Immortal Phoenix!”

Nie Yan was the sole owner of a Rank 9 flying mount. There were four Rank 8 flying mounts a step below. Two of them belonged to the righteous faction, one of which was Xie Yao’s. The Evil Faction had the other two, belonging to Fallen Angel and Pantheon.

The battle prowess of a Rank 8 flying mount was astonishing.

Within the ball of flames, the Immortal Phoenix charged forward like a streaking meteor. Any flying mounts that came into contact with it were instantly transformed into ashes. All that remained of the burned Angel Corps flying mounts was their Life Core.

Riding atop the head of his Silverwing Dragon, Soaring Angel had an unsightly expression on his face. Asskickers United’s peak fighting force was simply too strong. There was very little he could do against them.

「Have the airships arrived yet?」Soaring Angel coldly asked.

「Reporting in Boss, they have already arrived. Five in total. They’re being shielded from view by our flying mounts.」

「Pass on the message to the Century Financial Group. Tell them to get started. Let Asskickers United and Fallen Angel have a taste of our newly created weapon!」Soaring Angel coldly smiled.

...

Over on the side of Fallen Angel. Warlance led the vanguard as his troops dove right into the ranks of the Century Financial Group and Pantheon. They succeeded in disrupting the enemy’s formation and scattering their forces, but they also suffered some damage in the process.

「Vice-lead! Our right flank is under attack. We can’t hold on any longer!」

「Vice-lead! Our second wing is almost annihilated with only two survivors! We’ve been surrounded!」

Warlance bravely charged forward, working together with his subordinates to kill dozens of enemy flying mounts. Their killcount quickly reached 1,300. This result was simply astonishing, especially considering many of their kills were high rank flying mounts.

However, the Century Financial Group and Pantheon had too many flying mounts, more than 20,000 in total. Even though most were low rank, they served perfectly as cannon fodder to absorb attacks.

Pantheon and the Century Financial Group outnumbered Fallen Angel’s forces six to one. They had Warlance and his men completely surrounded.

「Brothers, let’s show these trash our power! We are not so easily provoked!」Warlanced shouted. He was soaked in blood from head to toe, looking like an enraged asura. His killing intent soared to the heavens.「Go, Apocalypse Storm!」

The battle cries of the players from Fallen Angel rang out like thunder. From among their ranks, 300 Thunderwing Bone Hawks gathered together and used Apocalypse Storm. Lightning crackled from their bodies and converged into a sphere in the center of their formation. It continuously grew in size until it was over 200 meters in diameter, shooting out streaks of lightning into the surroundings like a giant tesla coil.

After the sphere fully took shape, Warlance shouted,「Kill!」

The enormous ball of lightning started moving towards the forces of the Century Financial Group and Pantheon.

「W-what the hell is that!?」

「I-I don’t know, but I don’t want to be anywhere near it!」

The flying mounts from the Century Financial Group and Pantheon quickly split apart in a mad attempt to get away from the sphere of lightning. However, the Apocalypse Storm was too fast and quickly closed in on them.

CRACKLE! ZAP! CRACKLE! ZAP! Streaks of lightning drilled into the ranks of the Century Financial Group and Pantheon.

BANG! BANG! BANG! All flying mounts the lightning came into contact with were instantly roasted to death, their bodies giving off smoke as they dropped from the sky.

Nothing survived near the Apocalypse Storm. Soon, more than 400 enemy flying mounts were killed.
