Chapter 994 - Battle of the Pinnacle 4 (1/2)

When Nie Yan was sent flying like a kite with its string cut, he felt a white light fall over him. Then, his body crashed into the ground. A damage value of more than 90,000 floated up above his head. If it weren’t for Kalenna’s Guardian Barrier absorbing a portion of the damage and Adjudicator of God negating the magic damage, he would already be dead. Just a small portion of the attack’s physical damage had shaved away more than two-thirds of his health! He sucked in a cold breath of air.

Plenty had put all his focus into controlling the nebula and delivering that all-out attack to Nie Yan. His body was depleted of all energy as his knees wobbled violently. Seeing the two massive hands crashing down towards him, his eyes flashed with a trace of panic. He couldn’t understand how Nie Yan managed to cast such a powerful magic in this situation. This was simply inconceivable!

However, reality was right before his eyes!

In order to control the nebula, Plenty had to give up everything else; he couldn’t move, he couldn’t cast other skills, he couldn’t do anything but watch as the two hands crashed down on him.

The only reason Nie Yan used two Death Sentences was because he was afraid Plenty would dodge the first one. The second one was insurance. If he knew Plenty couldn’t move, he would’ve only just used one!

Plenty’s gaze landed on Nie Yan on the ground. He still hadn’t died!

Plenty’s eyes flashed with despair. However, a split-second later, they became firm with resolve. I cannot lose! He used his last skill.

Sacrifice to the Dark End!

BANG! Struck by the Death Sentence, Plenty was sent crashing into the ground. The nebula around him came to a halt and gradually dispersed.

When the howling winds stopped, Nie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking in the distance, he saw Plenty’s corpse on the ground.

“I won?” Nie Yan’s heart relaxed. He had won by luck. Plenty's magic completely surpassed his expectations. At the end of the day, the other side had a three-year lead on him! This victory truly didn't come easily!

The spectators stared at the ground in a daze. The might of the Lich King Form was too astonishing! They all thought Nie Yan was done for. What could he possibly do to defend against that invincible nebula? Never did they imagine that he would overturn their expectations again. When the dust settled, he stood while Plenty’s corpse lay on the ground.

Nie Yan was the victor!

The players from the Righteous Faction erupted into cheers.

As Nie Yan was about to turn around and leave, Plenty’s corpse turned into dark energy and circled in the air, transforming into the image of a giant Lich King. The entire world was once more enveloped in a gloomy aura.

The players were taken aback, staring at the scene in disbelief. Could it be that the battle hadn’t ended yet? Did Plenty have a second life?

Nie Yan’s heart sank. He sensed an unrivalled power, far beyond what he’d come across from a player before. This was the presence of a deity level NPC!

The Lich King! Nie Yan seemed to realize what was going on. According to rumours, the Lich King’s real body was hidden in the depths of the underworld. He was on the same level as Archangel Tallod. The one that appeared in Necropolis was simply an apparition.

Did Plenty summoning the Lich King count as violating the match’s rules?

The Lich King hovered in the air like a spectre. His body was semi-transparent. Illusory images of him covered the entire sky. A heavy pressure weighed down on the players. Some fell to their knees, while others fought their wobbling knees. No one had the strength to oppose this force.

“Kakaka, I sense the power of eternal life. I’ve revived once more. My disciple, you’ve summoned me. I will help fulfill your wish! Wretched maggot, accept your lamentable fate!” The Lich King’s enormous dark hand moved toward Nie Yan.

In the face of this absolute power, Nie Yan had no ability to resist.

Just as Nie Yan was about to be crushed to death, Karsi’s silhouette blinked over from the far distance and erupted with a dazzling radiance. A barrier of light slowly expanded outward, protecting the two within.

BOOOM! The dark hand exploded after crashing into the barrier and dissipated into nothing. However, Karsi’s barrier was also shattered, and the person himself was sent flying back.

In front of a deity level NPC, even a Legendary NPC like Karsi was powerless.

“A mere Legend. Is that all? You might be proud of your 1,000 years of life, but I’ve already existed in this world for tens of thousands of years,” the Lich King said with a look of contempt.

Nie Yan glanced back at Karsi. He was badly injured, and no match for the Lich King. Blocking one attack was already his limit.

Was he really going to wait helplessly for death? After he lost, what was he going to do? March onto the forums and cry out with righteous indignation, “I didn’t lose to you! I lost to the Lich King!” No. That wasn’t his style! When Plenty summoned the Lich King, didn’t he have a Legendary NPC like Karsi take action as well? He had still lost. What ground did he have to stand on?
