Chapter 854: Anton's Leg Severed!

Flawless sword qi swirled around before raining down from all directions, surging like a vast river, the light of the blades flashing like startled dragons and swans.

At this very moment, every single attack erupted forth in a torrential pour!

Including the sword qi of that divine sword technique.

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, that dense expanse of sword qi shot into the monster's body, and even the thick armor condensed from those energy crystals could not withstand it in the slightest.

An earth-shattering roar resounded across the entire sea!

Above the incredibly vast ocean, that blanket of fog that covered the sky finally receded.

This massive, primeval giant tortoise was at last revealed before everyone once again.

The assault on the Source of the Black Fog was a success!

"We passed!"

"We finally passed!"

"So amazing..." Jiang Xiaoyi exclaimed while eating a peach.

"What kind of gear are they wearing now...?" She had clearly not played for quite a long time.

Nalan Mingxue randomly selected someone, opened Zong Wu's equipment panel, and casually clicked on an item.

(Amplified) +12 Pure · Shadow Wrath Boots

Can be used at Level 65 or above

(Amplified) +12 Dragon God Decree (Short Sword)

Can be used at Level 80 or above

(Amplified) +12...

As Nalan Mingxue was explaining, everyone suddenly saw another sudden change appear on the screen.

They watched as the giant tortoise's massive head roared toward the heavens, shaking its head frantically.

Without the protection of these demonic creatures, Anton naturally knew things were amiss and could no longer allow these people to linger on top of its head.

"Watch out!"

Everyone leaped into the air, like great birds taking flight, sweeping down from its mountain-like head and landing upon its body, which was as vast as a great continent.

"Do you all remember the teams we assigned earlier?" Zong Wu shouted loudly. "Teams one and two to the Leg of Anton, teams three and four to the Trembling Ground!"

Hardly had his voice fallen when, looking into the distance, the massive volcano overhead began to spew fire, seemingly on the verge of eruption.

When the volcano inside this primeval behemoth erupted, if anyone was still lingering beneath its mountain, one could easily guess what the outcome would be without even thinking.

Almost simultaneously, aboard the giant vessel named the "Noble Sky," several massive ship cannons lit up with a brilliant, azure glow.

Cooling Ray charging energy.

And right at this moment, the seawater around that distant giant vessel suddenly began to churn.

Titanic waves crashed, and from within the sea, countless monsters instantly swarmed out, with the "Noble Sky" bearing the brunt of the assault!

"Team five, fall back and defend the ship cannons!"

Each squad immediately divided the labor, maintaining meticulous order.

Among the various teams, they were ordered from the strongest in teams one and two, to the slightly weaker in teams three and four, while team five stayed behind to defend, choosing a group of highly specialized classes to hold off the sea of monsters swarming onto the ship cannons.

Anton lightly raised its leg, causing the entire earth and ocean to tremble; even though the soldiers had climbed onto Anton's body, they were all easily shaken off.

With a body so colossal, its movements were nevertheless so agile, all because it had absorbed ample energy at the Energy Center.

Since they could not reclaim Anton's energy, they had no choice but to first destroy Anton's joints to secure the grand offensive for the main force.

The purpose of the "Trembling Ground" was precisely to destroy Anton's joints.

The "Leg of Anton," as the name implied, referred to Anton's four limbs.

Only by severing its four limbs, which stood like pillars holding up the sky, could they completely destroy its mobility.

Here, one could see even more powerful demonic creatures standing guard; through continuous evolution, they had already developed human forms.

Looking out from afar, the seawater barely covered the ankles, yet those intimidating giant legs supported the massive beast.

And right above the four limbs, a female demon holding a longsword and clad in black armor spread her wings of blazing fire, soaring high into the sky, looking down coldly upon these invaders.

Of course, most of them did not belong to the demon race; it was simply that in human eyes, demons and monsters were generally indistinguishable.

On the ground lay the charred corpses of the slaughtered celestial army, scattered in disarray.

Monsters burning all over with raging flames brandished their massive staves, and these dried corpses awakened, their bodies covered in terrifying molten lava and flames, howling frantically as they rushed toward these adventurers!

And at this moment, Anton's massive maw opened once more, and the black fog flying out from within began to spread across the entire world again.

Zong Wu glanced in the direction of the ship cannons while his sword light slashed out, instantly tearing apart the monsters before him: "Is team five done with the cannons yet?!"

Just moments before the volcano erupted, upon the dark sea, several beams of azure light from all directions bombarded the massive, about-to-erupt volcano one after another.

The originally crimson volcano was gradually covered on its exterior by a layer of pale blue frost!

"Ship cannons secured!"

"Go suppress the black fog immediately! Return to the ship cannons once it is suppressed!"

Even with their current combat power, they had to be extremely careful here; if the black fog spread to this point, fighting monsters within these toxic black mists would bring unimaginable consequences.

After all, their enemy was no ordinary monster, but the Seventh Apostle!

Under Anton's powerful regenerative abilities, no matter how great the injury, it would heal at an extremely rapid pace, and the swarming monsters were likewise endless.

Therefore, before teams one and two completed their objective, each squad had to suppress Anton's constantly recovering areas—including the "Trembling Ground"—time and time again, while simultaneously defending the ship cannons to increase the margin of error for teams one and two.

During this period, if even a single squad made a mistake, whether it was the spreading of the black fog or the eruption of the volcano... it could easily cause the entire team coordination to completely collapse!

"Illusion Sword Dance!" Aboard the giant vessel, the Illusion Sword Dance erupted. By now, everyone's swordsmanship was no longer what it used to be; like clones shifting into shadows, phantoms after phantoms swept out earth-shaking sword waves, and the surging torrent of monsters was crushed into pieces amid countless shadows of the blade!

"Asura Agni Unleashed!"

"Holy Wall!"

Upon the trembling ground, a land covered in lava, space cracked open, and a black demon with horns on its head stepped out from the rift.

"Space-Time, Shatter!" On Nalan Mingxue's screen, the sword light slashed apart even space itself, leaving several terrifying fissures even upon the demon's brass-and-iron body.

The flames of war ignited everywhere across Anton's massive body, and the battles of each squad had already reached a fever pitch.

This battle lasted for nearly an hour (the system version's raid time differed slightly from the original game).

Everyone maintained a high level of mental concentration, suppressing their designated sectors time and time again under Anton's powerful regenerative abilities to ensure that the strongest teams, one and two, could attack with absolute focus, free from interference from other areas.

Finally... amid countless colorful rains of fire in the sky, the demonic creature guarding the leg of Anton fell to the earth, accompanied by a resentful wail.

These most powerful adventurers (players), for the very first time, revealed their sharp edge to this terrifying monster, and to everyone else.

Looking from afar, the light of the ship cannons enveloped the entire night sky.

This moment was destined to be magnificent!
