The situation was urgent, and Lin Rui didn’t have ti to exchange aningless words with Audrey. He tossed the crown to her and rode away on Death’s Claw.
Audrey grasped the crown tightly and then called the Leopard to her side.
She always executed Lin Rui’s orders ticulously.
[Thorny Crown]
[Attribute: Item]
[To wear the crown, one must bear its weight; to hold the rose, one must endure its thorns.]
[The crown can only be removed 24 hours after wearing it. During this period, Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value 500%, Defense 200%, and attacks are converted to True Damage; healing is not possible. The wearer takes 50% of all damage received by soldiers within a 1000-ter radius. If the number of surrounding soldiers falls below 120, the Fall of the Monarchy is triggered, resulting in the wearer’s imdiate death. The damage taken on the next wearing will be doubled.]
This was the last item obtained from the gilded treasure chest on the eve of the gods’ departure from the territory. Its effects were extrely potent, enough to influence a battle. Previously, Lin Rui had kept it close rather than storing it in the territory’s treasury.
Now, it was the most critical mont, ti to use it to turn the tide of battle!
To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.
The Leopard donned the crown, and his Life Value and Spiritual Energy Value erupted, even his size surged from just over two ters tall to more than four ters. Life Value increased by 500%, and Defense Value increased by 200%.
The thorn effect of this crown ant bearing 50% of the damage taken by all soldiers within a 1000-ter radius. A normal soldier could not withstand its weight, being quickly overwheld by the imnse damage.
But the Dark Temple Warrior Leopard had a trait that dispersed damage to nearby soldiers, thereby reducing the damage he suffered.
If energy conservation holds, this damage accumulates and then disperses, seemingly performing a futile task.
But theory is always theory, and reality always presents various changes.
The damage suffered by soldiers within a 1000-ter radius was halved; wounds that should have been fatal might now result in only severe injury, and severe injuries might rely graze the skin.
Especially since Leopard’s Physical Defense soared by 200%, each received hit would be significantly reduced.
He could then redistribute the damage, and with his high level of defense, many attacks that would have caused severe injury might not even penetrate his defense.
The final battle began; under the dense protection of Dark Temple Warriors, Audrey began to fully unleash [Dark Energy Prayer].
"Father! I’m giving it my all! Whether we survive, depends on you!"
With Audrey’s desperate shout, a massive Spiritual Energy Vortex erged over the battlefield. The enormous spiritual energy even blocked out the sunlight, with Dark Magic gradually covering the entire sky. The world turned dim, with only the occasional flash of lightning illuminating the earth as bright as snow.
The spiritual energy within Audrey surged wildly like a torrent. Under this spiritual energy shroud, evil dark patterns spread across the surface of all undead.
"Everyone, recruit the lowest level undead Skeleton Soldiers with all your strength!"
Audrey’s voice was unprecedentedly frosty, her waist-length black hair flying in the air, and her large purple crystal eyes sparkled with brilliant spiritual energy.
[Dark Energy Prayer lv2: Continuously channel dark energy on the battlefield, healing and strengthening summoned creatures. For every 100 points of Spiritual Energy Value, recover 80*(1 1.10) Life Value for all, enhancing summoned creatures, Attack 15, Defense 15, Life Value Limit 15, stackable infinitely, each state lasting 15 seconds.]
With each use of the skill, its level finally increased to LV2.
What does this an? In 15 seconds, the Life Value and Defense obtained by the summoned creatures were equivalent to the reward upon reaching Tier Two.
A soldier upgraded to Tier Two receives Life Value 500, Spiritual Energy Value 200, Physical Defense 80, Spiritual Resistance 60.
While undead summoned creatures increased their Physical Defense value by a full 225 points!
Audrey didn’t have much Life Value left, but with the [Skeleton Stripping Trait], she gained 10 Spiritual Energy Value for every elite-level monster killed. She had slaughtered thousands of monsters, including thousands of elite monsters, so her Spiritual Reaction had exceeded second level, reaching over forty thousand.
Freely releasing skills, she could sustain for almost seven minutes, and after seven minutes of enhancent, even an ordinary Skeleton Soldier’s strength might far exceed Tier Three, possibly approaching Tier Four.
Under Audrey’s command, her Death Mages began casting with all their might. Countless Skeleton Soldiers wielded Long Spears, rising from the mountains of corpses and oceans of blood, forming line after line of formations.
Audrey was giving it her all; whether victory could be decided all depended on these seven minutes!
Lin Rui arrived at the left flank riding a Griffin, where the most elite heavy troop group of the territory was located. Since the battle comnced, they had cut a path ten miles deep into the enemy lines.
At this mont, the territory’s elite soldiers were still fighting with full force, with knives and swords flashing on the front lines, and spiritual energy lights continuously flaring up amidst the flying blood and severed limbs, breaking the Beastman lines to pieces.
Lin Rui took a deep breath; the mont of decisive battle had arrived!
A total of thirty Mirror Images wielding Epic Longswords materialized on the battlefield amidst frosty lightning.
