Unless her dispel skill was no less than Epic and also had a host of special attribute bonuses, no matter how many tis she cast Sacred Light Blessing, it would be in vain.
Then the frail mage looked at her again. From under the demonic mask ca a bizarre gaze.
An indescribable sensation of pleasure surged through her body. Her hair stood on end, goosebumps erupted all over, and she involuntarily rolled her eyes upward, losing all control of her Shell…
The waves of intoxicating ecstasy crashed over her again and again like tides. Yin Linlin wished this feeling would last until the end of the world.
When she ca back to herself, she was already back in the office.
Her cheeks still flushed bright red, she was savoring the lingering aftertaste of pleasure. Her gaze, glistening with a seductive sheen, had clearly changed as she looked at Lin Xun.
This ti, Lin Xun asured the control duration of Pleasure-Hazed Sight and found it was much shorter than when he had controlled the little top student previously.
It was probably because this Paladin woman was adept in both martial and magical disciplines, and the opponent’s ntal strength would also affect how long Pleasure-Hazed Sight lasted.
Since the Paladin woman’s ntal strength was comparatively strong, there was no socially crippling spectacle like last ti with the little top student. Only a normal control effect, blushing and rolling her eyes.
“How about it? Convinced yet?”
Li Xingyue crossed her arms over her chest, her black office suit outlining an abundant, bountiful figure.
Yin Linlin ignored her friend’s teasing. She bit her lip and walked straight up to Lin Xun, extending a hand. “That was just a friendly spar to understand a teammate’s strength and skill effects, so it’ll be easier to cooperate in the future.”
“Let introduce myself. I’m Yin Linlin, from Hang City’s Ard Division, and also a mber of Heavenly Punishnt…”
“Let’s add each other as Book Friends!”
Yin Linlin was very strong. Just that earth dragon summon alone was enough to qualify her for the recruited team, not to ntion her Shell could both fight and heal.
Lin Xun glanced at his female superior, silently asking with his eyes. Is this person trustworthy?
Receiving an affirmative response, Lin Xun took out his phone and exchanged Book Friend contacts with Yin Linlin.
The once-fierce Paladin woman even exchanged Guardian Bookmarks with him, though Lin Xun most likely wouldn’t need her help repelling invasions.
Whenever he encountered invasions, they were always newbie Apostles, at most third-difficulty level. PKing them was pure bullying, with no entertainnt value whatsoever.
Li Xingyue arranged for the two to rest and wait. Two more elite Apostles would arrive in Wen City that afternoon.
In fact, there was no need for in-person etings to form teams in-ga. One could simply open a chat group and connect via voice call to clear chapters together.
It was only because the two elite Apostles had heard that this team included an exceptional expert that they insisted on eting face-to-face, hoping to build a connection.
Later, if they needed to form a team again, they could invite this master.
—
In the eting room, the seven Star Lords were already assembled.
Four n and three won: four Apostles of Wen City, including Wang Zong and Lu Caiyi, and three elite Apostles who had co from elsewhere to support them.
At first, the two newly arrived elite Apostles still had doubts about Lin Xun’s strength, but after Yin Linlin’s vivid recounting, everyone quickly stood on the sa side.
Li Xingyue switched on the projector and began explaining the pre-battle preparations.
First was the matter of which Celestial Palace each would defend. They had to consider not only the buff effects but also the relative strength of the Apostles, and who would be stationed beside whom to allow for mutual support.
Second, the elite Apostles needed to exchange information about their respective Shells and skills to help assess capabilities and plan tactics.
Finally, there was an analysis of the strength of the first three waves of Outer Demon monsters and the corresponding counterasures.
The official Apostles were vastly more experienced in team coordination than civilian Apostles. One side was essentially like a guild running an instance; the other was just a random pickup group.
After an hour of discussion and exchange, they finally settled on the strategy.
Everyone had no objections to Lin Xun guarding the First Celestial Palace, Celestial Pivot Palace – Greedy Wolf Star.
Once everything was in order, Lin Xun logged into the ga to begin tackling the Easter Egg Chapter.
[You have entered the Easter Egg Chapter.]
[Chapter 8715, Seven-Star Guardians!]
[A powerful wandering soul awakens beside the Demon-Subduing Stele…]
[You have possessed the Shell of the Knowledge-Seeking President of the Direct Vision Association!]
[You touch the ancient Soul-Calming Stele. Divine will radiates in all directions, summoning six distant Star Lords…]
[Apostle Star Glaze responds to the summons!]
[Apostle Little White Deer responds to the summons!]
[Apostle Glory War Wolf responds to the summons!]
[Apostle Wind Chis Past responds to the summons!]
[Apostle…]
[Six powerful Star Lords, each of different aspect, heed your call and step across the stars!]
[The Seven Stars gather, cleansing the Outer Demons, their brilliance illuminating the human realm…]
[The sealing power of the Demon-Subduing Altar is gradually weakening. Before long, Outer Demons will pour out of the altar. Please select a Celestial Palace to defend against the invasion!]
When the Outer Demons invaded, the Resting Page beside the Demon-Subduing Stele would be rendered invalid. Not only would it be impossible to heal Shell injuries, but the teleport function would also be disabled.
During the invasion, if an Apostle died, they would respawn directly at the revival point of an orthodox chapter and could not re-enter the Easter Egg Chapter before the invasion ended.
This ant that the death of an Apostle would imdiately result in the fall of one Celestial Palace.
Moreover, Apostles defending the two adjacent Celestial Palaces would have to handle even more Outer Demon monsters, and the resulting chain reaction would be disastrous.
