1072: Chapter 624 Above the Nine Rings 1072: Chapter 624 Above the Nine Rings Gaven’s mind drifted to research magical spells on the battlefield, yet it didn’t affect the unleashing of the Ninth Ring Spell at all.
The thundercloud storm enveloping the battlefield was far larger than imagined.
Normally, the range of the Revenge Storm would be two hundred and fifty ters, but now it wouldn’t be surprising if soone claid it was one kiloter.
The reason for this was not solely because Gaven’s abilities were extraordinary and subli, and the Revenge Storm he cast was beyond the usual, well, it was sowhat related, because the power in the Path of War was not directly exerted but enhanced through his Arcane Mage Tower, indeed making it 1.6 tis stronger than usual, but still not reaching the current extent.
The Revenge Storm covering the battlefield was not one, but two, with the other originating from Ms.
Katherine, the first of the Chosen of the Goddess of Strategy, whose core profession was also the exclusive sacrifier of Holy Strategist, granting her the ability to cast Priest Spells.
Seeing Gaven making a move, she naturally reacted promptly to coordinate.
Two identical Ninth Ring Spells appearing simultaneously in the sky surprisingly triggered a wondrous chemical reaction, interconnecting to form a spell surpassing the Ninth Ring, not only covering a larger range, but their controllable power was also rapidly increasing.
Leaving other things aside, originally only capable of summoning six lightning bolts, it explosively increased to ten, not ten in total, but ten controlled by each Gaven and Katherine.
These lightning bolts possessed extraordinary lethality against the Blood Plunderers and Blood Berserkers, who couldn’t dodge them at all—one strike per hit.
These creatures possessed a constitution that absorbed lightning, and normally attracted lightning into their bodies, let alone when intentionally manipulated by soone.
The effects of the enhanced impact were not limited to Revenge Storm, but also affected the Call Lightning Spell and Summon Storm cast by Druids and Priests, as they were all now converging the sa energy.
Naturally, the Blood Plunderers were the foremost targets,
Able to withstand the damage from three Summon Storm lightning strikes (3*5D10=150), less than two-thirds of Blood Plunderers could survive, and less than one-third could withstand four strikes.
Only the two Plunderer’s Chosen remained able to charge after enduring five hits, a result of their using the blood power from surrounding soldiers, including other Blood Plunderers and Blood Berserkers, to enhance themselves.
They beca Plunderer Karazgos’s temporary Chosen not just because of their formidable strength, but their nature was highly compatible with the Plunderer, although not perfectly.
Once they accepted the power of the Plunderer, they were greatly influenced by his personality, turning selfish, brutal, and plundering and destructive in nature.
Thus, accepting to beco a Chosen of a deity was a very serious and cautious matter.
Moreover, these two Chosen of the Plunderer obviously had the ability to dominate other Blood Plunderers and Blood Berserkers.
When it was discerned that lightning aid at the Chosen of the Plunderer was their target, nearby Blood Plunderers would stand forward, leaping up to intercept the lightning with their bodies.
Under these circumstances, their weakness in absorbing lightning turned into an advantage, as the lightning naturally got attracted to those targets closer to it, essentially making a detour.
Other Blood Plunderers tried to get the Blood Berserkers to take the lightning strikes for them, but the success rate wasn’t high because the lightning struck too quickly, hitting the Blood Plunderers before the Blood Berserkers could even react.
The heavy thunderstorm in the latter half of the Revenge Storm brought the war to a brief halt, whether it was the attacking Conqueror Army or the agile Red Falcon Knights, it was wise to stay put and not move recklessly.
The physical obstruction of vision caused by the storm, even Dark Vision was useless, truly unable to see the opponent’s face even up close.
Rash movent was risky, as no one knew whether they would collide with an enemy or a comrade in the next second, and diving headfirst into a crowd of enemies could result in getting beaten to death within minutes.
In such circumstances, it was best not only to limit movent, but to keep sounds as minimal as possible to avoid becoming targets for long-range attacks.
And these thirty seconds, granted the Conqueror Army precious ti to strategize.
The bulk of the Conqueror Army on the Bridge of Human God was not within the range of the Revenge Storm, and being rather cumberso, they needed ti to reorganize.
The Pioneer Army of the Founders was desperately pulling out to clear the West Bridge Entrance, while the Limb Severing Vanguard swapped with the ard settlers of the Conqueror Army.
The Limb Severing Vanguard headed to the West Bridge Entrance, and the defense there was handed to one hundred Tower War Chariots and their accompanying ard settlers.
Although the possibility of the Koer Kingdom’s Purple Dragon Legion attacking them, or a Monster Army suddenly appearing from behind was very low, as followers of the Goddess of Strategy, they would never rely on others or chances, making ticulous counterasures was the right choice.
Not only at the East Bridge Entrance, but once the Limb Severing Vanguard burst out from the West Bridge Entrance, the one hundred Tower War Chariots also rolled out following behind, setting up a new barricade with the chariots at the position previously held by the Pioneer Army, ready to quickly retreat back to the Bridge of Human God should the frontline encounter unexpected events.
