Three hours later.
Diris was caught in a tough fight. Thorne's Shadowless Sword and Dark Flame Blade left wounds on Diris' body after several exchanges.
The armor that the Annihilation Legion was proud of was completely useless against Thorn's superb and deadly swordsmanship. Every time Thorn swung his sword, it would pierce into the gaps in the armor and directly cause damage to Diris' body.
If the Lord of Annihilation had not bestowed him with supreme power, he would most likely have died under Thorne's sword long ago.
But what really made Diris feel difficult was not his mentor Thorn, but the holy spirits who had noticed the battle here and gathered here.
Diris still had the idea of recruiting these holy spirits, so he tried his best not to harm those holy spirits in the battle, and took this opportunity to test the combat talents of those holy spirits.
What surprised Diris was that... a small number of the holy spirits who followed Thorne to fight against him had incredibly high combat talents.
Whether it was the young magic lancer wielding a spear, or the swordsman holding a ghostly green lightsaber... Diris was looking forward to the power they would display after receiving the gift from the Lord of Annihilation.
What Diris was looking forward to the most was... the Holy Spirit in front of him who was using the power of dragon and tiger to fight against him.
"Your talent should not be buried in a place like this, Holy Spirit."
Di Ruisi took a few steps back to avoid Zhao Mingwei's lion roar and tiger shock... When Di Ruisi's back foot landed on the ground, another telekinesis cannon hit him.
He cut off the oncoming thought cannon with one sword, and then quickly retreated hundreds of steps again... His mentor Thorn had no intention of chasing him anymore.
Thorne's goal is to prevent Diris from getting close to the End Dragon and take away the End Dragon's Abyss Seed.
But the holy spirits beside Thorne aimed to kill him.
"Holy Spirits, can we talk?" Seeing that Thorne stopped chasing him, Diris directly released a confinement magic to imprison the fourteen holy spirits that were besieging him.
Now players from all major guilds are busy reducing the health of the Doom Dragon.
The only players who are entangled with Diris here are the professional players who often practice with Thorn... and some players whose output, equipment and skills are not enough to enter the top strategy group, so they can only try their luck here, such as... Mr. Yin.
"A magic cage with nearly 50,000 HP... Is this the world of the top-level Holy Spirit dungeon?"
Mr. Yin threw the brick in his hand at the magic cage built by Diris, and this brick knocked off about 500 points of the cage's health.
"There are only fourteen of us. It would take at least an entire guild's raider team to take it down."
Zhao Mingwei judged from his health alone that Diris was a powerful enemy that could not be defeated by a single player.
But what surprised Zhao Mingwei was... this lord-level monster of the Annihilation Legion, let alone sending them back to Freya's arms, Zhao Mingwei didn't even lose a drop of blood during the battle.
"Do you want... do you want me to call Coach Song to help?" Juan Canyun used a series of skills to attack the magic cage, but the whole series of skills only reduced the health of the cage by about 10,000 points.
Juan Canyun and Yin Zong's current equipment is not even in the second tier of Holy Spirit players.
"Coach Song is busy grabbing the rewards for the Doomsday Dragon. He definitely doesn't have time to come here and confront this lone Oblivion Legion soldier." Mr. Yin could only pin his hopes on Zhao Mingwei and other players. "Player Zhao! Is your awakening cooldown ready?"
"Twenty seconds left."
Zhao Mingwei was just waiting for his awakening. When the cooldown of awakening was over, he could rely on his awakening to break through Diris's restraints in one go.
"Holy Spirits! Listen to me!"
During the three hours of the battle, Diris was fighting madly with these holy spirits, but in order to avoid Thorne's attack, he didn't even have time to say a complete sentence.
Now he compromised... because Diris knew that he could not break through the sword siege of his mentor, and the life of the End Dragon was gradually withering under the siege of the Holy Spirits.
So in the end, he must at least plant the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of these holy spirits, or the seeds of rebellion.
But the Holy Spirits ignored him until now! Di Ruisi finally couldn't keep calm anymore and yelled loudly.
The holy spirits finally stopped talking to each other, but after looking at Diris, they started chatting among themselves again.
"Mr. Xiao, after you retire, please come to our North City and play when you have time." Caramel was also waiting for his awakening to cool down. Anyway, Diris had no intention of attacking, so it would be nice to take this time to chat about family matters.
As for those cool lines said by the BOSS in the dungeon, as a veteran player, I have long been accustomed to treating them as wind in my ears.
This is just like the background music of the game, something you forget after listening to it.
"I've been busy building equipment lately and don't have time to travel."
Zhao Mingwei might be the one who listened most attentively to Di Ruisi's lines among the fourteen players. When he was communicating with other players, his eyes were always fixed on Di Ruisi.
At this moment, Zhao Mingwei's awakening cooldown was completed... The next second when Zhao Mingwei was about to release the Golden Thunder Tiger, Di Ruisi's words made Zhao Mingwei, Caramel and other players stop discussing.
"Friya...right? I remember this name." Diris looked at the players who all turned their eyes to him.
At this moment Diris realized that he had finally hit the point. These holy spirits cared about many things, and they were indeed extremely greedy, but there was one thing they cared about very much, and that was the doll named Freya.
"I remember from the background setting that this boss seems to... eat dolls. Will I get some reward if I hand the doll girl over to him?"
At this time, Caramel said something that was enough to make the twelve people around him look at him with horror.
Caramel is a rare Holy Spirit player who is not very interested in Freya.
He likes PVP and high-difficulty challenges, which is very similar to Zhao Mingwei...so Caramel and Thorne may spend more time together than his own Freya.
"Master Caramel, I saw on the forum that there is indeed such an option, but if you really give your own Freya to the Annihilation Legion in exchange for power, you will probably be scolded to death by the Freya Protection Association, right?" said a Coke fanatic player nervously.
"Don't be deceived by the God Eater! Holy Spirits." Diris heard the argument between the Holy Spirits and realized that this was the best opportunity to plant the seeds of suspicion in the hearts of the Holy Spirits. He said loudly to the players, "The God Eater has imprisoned that puppet. She is using you... I can give your puppet freedom."
Of course, what Diris said was all nonsense. He just wanted to make the holy spirits doubt their own gods.
At this moment, Zhao Mingwei released his awakened Golden Thunder Tiger and pounced on Di Ruisi. Di Ruisi used a defensive barrier to resist Zhao Mingwei's attack.
The Doomsday Dragon in the distance also let out a wail at this moment, indicating that its life was coming to an end.
Diris sighed deeply, swung his sword again... and cut through the space beside him with one sword.
"Holy Spirits, I am looking forward to your reply." After leaving these words, Diris disappeared into the crack of space.
"What the BOSS said contained a lot of information. I guess it should be the same as predicted on the forum that the Holy Spirit will soon open the faction system? By sacrificing Freya, you can join the Annihilation Legion or something like that?" a player whispered.
"A warning from the Freya Protection Association." President Yin also made a small joke nearby. If he hadn't made a joke, Juan Canyun might have rushed forward directly.
Mr. Yin ignored the other players' comments and slowly walked to Zhao Mingwei's side.
"What do you think, Contestant Zhao?" President Yin noticed that Zhao Mingwei's expression was a little serious.
"I hope this game can open a new level cap as soon as possible." Zhao Mingwei looked at his hands. Level 55 is already the top level among Holy Spirit players. At this stage, players are busy building their own equipment.
Increasing the level cap is a very slow process, but Zhao Mingwei realized when facing Di Ruisi... the level cap of fifty-five is really too low!
He desperately hoped that the Holy Spirit could open a higher level cap, stronger skills, and more powerful equipment.
"This is only the third test of the game, and the level cap has been raised once. However, judging by the speed at which the Holy Spirit is updating, the next large map should also be released." Mr. Yin said as he looked at the Doomsday Dragon in the distance whose health had been emptied by the players.
"Then... isn't that the other world... a newly updated map?" Juan Canyun asked nervously as he followed beside Mr. Yin.
He had just finished the battle of the godhead, and had little experience with Brand Island and the other world.
"The back world is more like a guild construction area. It can't be considered a new exploration map at all. There are too few elements to explore." Mr. Yin looked at Thorne, who was yawning in the distance. "You have been playing Thorne for half a month. Aren't you tired of it?"
"A little bit." Juan Canyun did suffer some psychological trauma from being tortured by Thorne.
"The Brand Island DLC doesn't update any large cities. There are only four large cities in Holy Spirit at this stage. The next update will most likely update one or more new cities."
When Mr. Yin was browsing the official website of Holy Spirit, the official had already issued a new update notice.
'The expansion map of Brand Island, Kuroshio Island, is in preparation.'
p.s. Sorry for being late, there will be at least two more chapters later. The End Dragon is just a transition, so I didn’t write too much details. The key is the various plots after the End Dragon’s death_(:з)∠)_
