Chapter 649: 582 Chapter: Boundary Chapter 649: 582 Chapter: Boundary Boom~
teorites burning with green fel flas crashed into the Land of Darkness, creating a shockwave upon impact that sent nearby orcs and strong-beasts flying.
Then, rising out of the crater still smoldering with green flas, a Hellfire demon, five or six ters tall, clawed its way out.
Its rocky body, ablaze with green fel energy, let out a savage roar towards the nearby orcs and strong-beasts.
Although the orcs cowered back in fear,
several strong-beasts grabbed shields and weapons and charged forward.
Clang~
With a casual swing, the Hellfire demon sent several strong-beasts, along with their shields, flying.
It then stamped on one, flattening it, and blood plasma sprayed everywhere.
Arrows flew from afar, yet before they could strike, they were already incinerated by the fel flas covering the demon’s surface.
...
Even though the Hellfire demons that sporadically invaded weren’t nurous, after Sauron was killed and did not offer a helping hand, relying solely on these strong-beasts and orcs proved utterly futile.
Though every common race in this world could be considered elite, with strong physical qualities,
they were still no match for the Hellfire demons.
Only a few heroic units among the strong-beasts could barely hold their ground with the aid from others, surrounding and killing several with the magic soldiers forged by Sauron.
For a mont, a sense of confusion and despair filled the hearts of these beast people, wondering why the Dark Lord had yet to make a move…
But at that mont, as Mount Doom’s activity intensified, those half-lted boulders projected into the stratosphere began to fall, breaking through the dark clouds above and hurtling towards them.
“It’s happening!”
“Great Dark Lord!”
“Goshaul!”
“Soon these rotten rocks will et their end…”
“…”
However, as the beasts’ excitent and frenzy peaked, they looked up at the volcanic rocks falling from the sky and began to sense sothing amiss.
Why does it feel like we’re being covered too?
Boom~
The first teor weighing tons hit the battlefield, its high velocity and mass creating a kinetic impact wave.
Flas mixed with twisted air currents instantly tore apart all the surrounding orcs.
It had indeed enveloped everyone!
Indiscriminate assault!
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
Orcs and strong-beasts were flung about once more, their bodies strewn everywhere.
Even the Hellfire demons that had landed were enveloped by the falling rocks!
Clang~
The boulders collided with the Hellfire demons, causing sparks to burst and their sturdy bodies to shatter simultaneously!
But if Hellfire demons could serve as cannon fodder for the Burning Legion, their hide was indeed incredibly tough, far beyond that of ordinary creatures.
Unless hit directly, they could withstand the blast from the impact wave.
Yet the ‘teorites’ falling densely from the sky seed endless,
ruthlessly plowing through the entire nearby land!
Lava flowed, craters pitted the surface, and the earth burned!
Half a day later, as the falling rocks gradually thinned, Tao Yu summoned an Alien Dragon through the shadows and, along with Gandalf and Galadriel, arrived nearby to inspect.
Seeing the scene before them, Gandalf and the Elven Lady were sowhat moved.
They could only watch the power from a distance before, but now, witnessing it up close, they could feel the terror of leveraging a natural disaster!
A sea of fire on the ground, lava flowing, bodies charred to a crisp next to the molten rock, still emitting wisp of smoke, the air filled with the scent of sulfur and burning.
At this point, very few orcs and Hellfire demons had survived.
A handful of orc survivors were supporting each other at the edge of the bombarded zone.
And most of the remaining Hellfire demons were missing limbs, the fel fire on their bodies dim.
Upon reaching an area with Hellfire demon remains, Tao Yu lifted his hand, drawing the fallen Yuan Force materials into his grasp, and upon absorption, his eyes briefly lit up.
There was a “magic-resistant skin” skill!
“Magic-resistant skin”: The Hellfire demon’s flesh, warped and perated by fel energy, possesses notable resistance to alien energies.
The first Deification only required a thousand Yuan Force, and Tao Yu straightaway completed a second Deification!
“Magic-resistant skin??”: Omitted, has extrely strong adaptability to alien energies, the more it’s struck by energy, the more it adapts, reaching a pinnacle where it can convert it for its own use.
“An unexpectedly premium find.”
Tao Yu felt a sense of admiration.
This was like an unplanned willow tree taking root; the items the small horse had exploded out of seed even more practical than the Dreadlord’s Seed of Fel Energy.
He had once again strengthened his own “defense,” enhancing the hexagonal attributes.
He glanced at the remaining troops of Orcs around him, observing the fear in their eyes.
“They must have lost their will to fight by now, I do have The One Ring, which gives so command over them, so should I keep them around?”
Tao Yu posed the question.
He couldn’t kill them all, they needed to be kept as a seed, to help farm the land later on, and if their breeding abilities were good, he could harvest regularly.
It was a stable source of Yuan Force.
Doing nothing and still having Yuan Force rolling in, even if it was as small as a mosquito bite, it still counted.
“You take care of it, the World Barrier is ahead, isn’t it…”
Gandalf certainly had no objections.
Through his actions along the way, Tao Yu had proven his capabilities, and with Galadriel’s Clairvoyance as corroboration, he felt he could be fully trusted.
Although blowing up the volcano earlier was a bit of a slip, he had managed to redeem himself afterwards.
“Yes, on the other side they are suffering from an invasion by the Burning Legion, I’m not sure what the situation is, but the World Barrier has stopped them, and these are just the reconnaissance forces that have found cracks and opportunities to test the waters.”
While Tao Yu spoke, he raised his hand.
The Magic Ring in his hand shone brightly.
It released a terrifying aura, causing the surviving Orcs to kneel down, prostrating themselves on the ground, shivering.
At this mont, Tao Yu, clad in a white robe and handso in appearance, was held in the sa esteem as Sauron himself in their eyes!
After a mont, accompanied by several more beast roars.
The Banisher Spirit, which had earlier escaped by riding on Flying Dragons, also heeded the call and flew back.
They landed one after the other.
But upon seeing The One Ring that Tao Yu held, which commanded allegiance, they all quickly descended from the Fallen Beasts, kneeling on one knee in loyalty.
They served only the master of The One Ring…
“You, co here.”
Tao Yu beckoned to the Witch-King of Angmar, the chief of the nine Banisher Spirits.
He also ca respectfully to Tao Yu’s side clad in his pitch-black armour.
Placing a hand on the armour, Tao Yu also rapidly gained so understanding of the principles behind the Banisher Spirits.
It was sowhat similar to Grazing, only that their souls were enslaved with The One Ring as the core.
Even if the Banisher Spirits died, they would automatically return as long as their armours were reforged, they could be resurrected.
Moreover, they did not account for the cost of Tao Yu’s own Grazing; they were entirely additional servants, albeit makeshift.
Re-absorbing them into the Innate Barrier was unnecessary, as that would occupy a share of his own and could also affect their range of activities.
However, he could give them so enhancents on the shadow side.
As Tao Yu’s shadow writhed below him, the originally pitch-black surface of the Banisher Spirits’ armour seed to acquire an additional layer of faint black mist, like flas.
“Comparable to a Jonin, I suppose, but with no distance constraints, so Spiritual Wisdom and stronger autonomous action capabilities…
not bad after all…”
Tao Yu pieced together his thoughts, then spoke to the Witch-King of Angmar,
“Take them and consolidate these Orcs, gather them up, then retreat back to Barad-dûr, and avoid conflicts with the Human Allied Forces.”
“As commanded.”
The Witch-King of Angmar’s voice sounded as if a knife were scraping against tal, likely the sound of his armour rubbing, quite unpleasant to hear.
Tao Yu then looked to Gandalf and Galadriel,
“Let’s go to the other side of the mountain to take a look and see what the situation is like in the other world, but let’s not go over there.”
“Alright.”
“Indeed.”
As the group rode on the Alien Dragons over the mountains ahead, they discovered that what lay before them was entirely an ocean.
However, atop this ocean was a drilling platform ablaze with fire, seemingly billowing black smoke.
And on that drilling platform, several hooded figures were looking this way, seemingly Magicians who had fallen into the Burning Legion.
As soon as Tao Yu and his companions appeared, they imdiately attracted their attention and looked over.
The World Barrier here had so fissures, which explained why Hellfire had invaded.
Following their gaze, Tao Yu was also surprised to find that the Magicians standing on the drilling platform each had the strength of World Breakers!
Although far from the strength of the Catastrophe-Level Dreadlord, for re “gatekeepers,” their strength was enough to indicate the overall strength of this contingent of the Burning Legion…
“Still, those guarding the edge of the world should be considered upper-middle tier in strength…”
