Chapter 122: A Victory that Crushes the Withered and Uproots the Rotten

Battle report: Order side player achieved first kill, earned the first blood! Currently Chaos side has 4 surviving players left.

Mage Ge Lin is carrying out an assistance task under the arrangement of a neutral mage; magical particles circulate through various complex and wondrous magical runes on the ground, gathering a special magical aura toward the crystal sphere.

Impressive, no wonder it's Ge Ni Wei Er, the dragon‑slaying warrior she always boasts about, who seized the advantage first and completed the suppression; looks like our chance of victory can rise another three percent!

Battle report: Order side player scored a double kill; currently Chaos side has 3 surviving players left.

Focus! Apprentice, don't mess up my experiment!

Ge Lin stared at the battle report in a daze, then, under the neutral mage's scolding, refocused on the task.

What exactly happened?

……

The same doubt gathered in Undead Mage Bi Luo Si-Ai Bu Jia's mind.

Bi Luo Si-Ai Bu Jia looked bewildered at the resurrection notices in the party channel; these greedy jackals aren't weak, which is why he chose to team up with them for a group Dungeon.

Both of them fell in quick succession; what exactly occurred?

However, while they are reviving they cannot answer his question.

"Did the enemy choose the most foolish group push?" Undead Mage frowned; the Order side fools sometimes do things they can't comprehend.

Party chat (Undead Mage): Jia Bu Si — remaining resurrection time 29 minutes 59 seconds!

Party chat (Undead Mage): Aili Mi Er — remaining resurrection time 29 minutes 59 seconds!

Party chat (Undead Mage): Everyone, temporarily abandon current tasks and return to defense immediately!

You killed an enemy player; you earned 1 Battlefield Honor!

You killed an enemy player; you earned 1 Battlefield Honor!

You completed the event: First Blood; you earned 1 Battlefield Honor!

You completed the event: Double Kill; you earned 1 Battlefield Honor!

Your current kill reward total: 4 points.

Battlefield Honor is an extra reward in competitive Dungeons; kills, deaths, and assists grant or deduct Honor, reflecting a player's contribution in the Dungeon.

"Too weak! Too weak! Too weak!"

Mu Yi moved through the battlefield center like a phantom, and in barely a few minutes helped Order side minions crush the opposing minions.

Whether elite‑template or ordinary‑template minions, they were blank sheets before Mu Yi, who could slay them without breaking a sweat.

Although he couldn't command Order side minions, preventing Mu Yi from using formations, both the battle‑flag boost and the Healing Flame of the Burning Ember kept his troops intact each wave.

After amassing a large wave of troops, Mu Yi planned a strong assault on the enemy camp, hoping to damage some enemy structures while the two opposing players were still dead.

When he left the camp earlier, he noticed magical defense towers on both sides and two ballistae; according to Ge Lin, two shots can take down a minion, five shots can take down an elite minion.

He currently has 37 minions and 3 elite minions nearby; perhaps he can try a wave?

Party chat (Wu Shuang-Wu Jiang): I'm going to try attacking the enemy camp; call me if needed!

Party chat (Mage): Stay safe; we'll finish the task quickly and go to support!

Party chat (Bard): Wu Shuang, go ahead! I'm already lying down!

Party chat (Performer): Wu Shuang, go ahead! I'm already lying down!

Party chat (Wanderer): Wu Shuang, go ahead! I'm already lying down!

……

Mu Yi glanced at the party channel messages and shrugged.

I still prefer the attitude you had before; get back to it.

I didn't expect the title Wu Shuang would automatically prepend to a class; it does sound rather flashy.

The camps of both sides aren't far apart; after swiftly crushing a fresh wave of Chaos side minions, Mu Yi rode a massive rhinoceros, surveying the Chaos camp.

Although its appearance differs completely from the Order camp, the layout and function should be identical.

Compared with the Order side's magical defense towers and two ballistae, the Chaos side's defensive structures look more like twisted graffiti.

"Only one person?"

Undead Mage furrowed his brows, watching Mu Yi outside the camp.

His mage eye saw no figure behind Mu Yi, unless all four opponents are masterful stalkers.

He wasn't sure whether it was a trap or some scheme, but timely retreat to defense was certainly wise.

Whether the enemy solo‑killed those two fools or team‑killed them and split forces, this massive wave of Order troops charging forward would cause trouble if left undefended.

What do you think we should do?

The axe‑wielding Beastman asked the Undead Mage about the next plan; he could no longer restrain the bloodlust in his veins.

Only the most bloodshed can capture the richest prey; that's the Beastman's simple, brutal logic.

"All right, go together; first clear those minions, then kill him, after that you can return to the task!" Undead Mage paused briefly, then issued the order.

Whether bait or trap, eliminating those brainless minions and gaining the defensive structures' aid is the safest approach.

"We obey your will!" the human Warlock and the Beastman replied together.

"Buzz!"

The Chaos side's defensive structures activated, and two twisted magical missiles struck the front‑line minions, turning them instantly into a pile of ash.

"It's far more powerful than Fireball!" Mu Yi observed as a massive wave of undead creatures surged from the camp, standing in front of the minions.

The mindless minions were immediately drawn to these undead beings, focusing on the magical tower's attack and beginning to fight the undead.

"In the end I have to do it myself!" Mu Yi shook his head.

Just as he was about to act, a sudden anomaly erupted, and dense bone claws surfaced from the ground, restricting the Order minions' movements.

Boom!!

The frenzied beastman, wielding the force of ten thousand jun, descended from the heavens and slammed heavily onto the ground; the moment his massive battle-axe fell, it smashed a foot soldier into minced meat, then immediately swept his axe, stirring up a bloody wind and rain of gore among the crowd.

But before the frenzied beastman could go on a rampage, a rain of forest-green evil fire fell from the camp.

The bodies of the struck soldiers began to age at a visible speed, their strength and speed both plummeting significantly.

The frenzied beastman, however, was completely unaffected by this power; forest-green evil fire coiled around his body, as if dyeing him entirely green.

Although they were not good at cooperating, the chaotic team still had some coordination.

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows at what he had witnessed: an Undead Mage, a Warlock, a frenzied beastman, a vampire, and a Drow Elf—this party's composition was truly complex.

However…

"So weak!"

It seemed that, aside from that Undead Mage, the frenzied beastman and the Warlock were no different from the previous two.

Sure enough, this dungeon was nothing but a fish pond for him.

Mu Yi, accustomed to high-end matches, was somewhat unaccustomed; having seen transcendent creatures, legendary demons, and masters of divine artifacts…… the performance of these stinking fish and shrimp before him was simply unbearable to watch.

Mu Yi stepped without hesitation into the area shrouded in evil fire, charging straight at the frenzied beastman who was wreaking havoc.

Evil fire, as a typical representative of malevolent energy, is known for its low consumption, dangerous adhesion effect, and continuous large-range strikes.

But for Mu Yi, whose body was wreathed in blazing inferno fire, it was merely like scratching through a boot—utterly ineffective.

Clang!!

The frenzied beastman raised his battle-axe to block Mu Yi's slash, but the thunder transmitted through the formation blade suddenly paralyzed his body.

The pressure of the lesser dragon might left him dazed for a moment.

The next moment, Mu Yi's figure became blurred, and the frenzied beastman's heart suddenly went on alert.

However, when the frenzied beastman turned around, Mu Yi appeared like a phantom behind him, his formation blade sweeping mercilessly across, the blade cutting through the beastman's sturdy body with no resistance, severing his spine and cleaving him in half at the waist.

——White Bone Claw!

——Death Finger!

——Corpse Explosion Technique!

The Undead Mage showed no reaction to the frenzied beastman being cleaved in half, expressionlessly casting his undead magic to finish off his teammate, then detonating the freshly slain corpse.

Several white bone arms burst from the ground, firmly gripping Mu Yi's legs, followed by the frenzied beastman's corpse exploding violently.

The evil fire clinging to the frenzied beastman's corpse also exploded in sync under the warlock's control.

Evil flames brimming with undead aura incessantly licked Mu Yi's body, while a notification like a screen‑fill flashed across his retina.

"You have slain an enemy player, gaining 1 point of battlefield honor!"

"Detected that the player is in a hostile elemental environment; conducting a composite environmental check……"

"Willpower save successful, you are immune to the dread effect from the composite hostile elemental environment."

"Constitution save failed, you will suffer the life‑drain effect from this composite hostile elemental environment."

"Spell save failed, you will suffer the mixed elemental damage from the composite hostile elemental environment."

"Dragon Scale resistance successful, the spell damage you would take has been reduced."

"Shield block successful, your shield has already blocked the mixed elemental damage from this composite evil-evil elemental environment."

"Blaze dispersal successful, you are now immune to the life‑drain effect from this composite hostile elemental environment."

……

Mu Yi instantly blocked the network's message alerts, exerted force with his feet, instantly broke free from the white bone claws' grasp, then rushed toward the warlock.

This method of directly finishing off a teammate and then launching a spell attack caught Mu Yi off guard.

But that was all there was to it!

The shield effect from the ring helped Mu Yi avoid a wave of damage; the blazing inferno fire dispelled the negative effects attached to those spells, allowing Mu Yi to approach the warlock unimpeded.

The warlock watched in horror as the blade's light drew ever closer, yet he could not dodge at all, only able to desperately unleash his strongest strike.

——Malevolent Energy Blaze!

The warlock spewed from his mouth a blaze imbued with vicious malevolent energy!

Yet it could not stop the descent of Mu Yi's formation blade; the blazing inferno fire completely blocked the malevolent energy from reaching Mu Yi's body, and the remaining evil fire could not pierce the Dragon Scale's magical defense.

Pfft!

With the sound of flesh and blood shattering, the warlock was split open by the blade's light.

Prepared, Mu Yi leapt from his spot to dodge the Undead Mage's corpse explosion; although the ring's shield could likely block the damage, being splattered by various strange liquids was certainly not a pleasant experience.

Seeing Mu Yi's blade pointed at him, the Undead Mage silently summoned a massive skeletal undead to block in front of himself.

It's a pity, but it was all in vain.

——Power Enhancement!!!

Clang!!

Having entered the Power Burst state, Mu Yi, combining with the inner qi surging from within his body, dealt a heavy chop to the giant undead; after the giant undead's bones emitted a sound of being unable to bear the load, Mu Yi directly cleaved it in two.

The next moment, Mu Yi crossed a not‑too‑long distance and, with his strongest strike, beheaded the Undead Mage.

"How…… could…… it be this strong!"

The Undead Mage's eyes were filled with disbelief; the ever‑arrogant he could never have imagined that an apprentice could be so terrifying.

They were crushed by the opponent in a sweeping, unstoppable fashion; even employing all their means, they could not inflict any substantial damage on the enemy.

"It's not that I'm strong; you're just too weak!" Mu Yi calmly swung his formation blade, splitting the Undead Mage's skull.

Even before his enhancement, dealing with this five‑person squad would not have taken him long.

If the five could cooperate sincerely, they might still have caused him a little trouble, but alas, the chaotic faction's team—talk of cooperation is out of the question.

……

Battlefield broadcast: Order side players killed enemy players, achieving a triple kill! Currently, the number of surviving players in the Chaos faction: 0.

Battlefield broadcast: The enemy players have been wiped out, and our side is moving toward victory...

The consecutive kill notifications, like a screen flood, filled everyone's vision.

Looking at the prompt on his retina, Ge Lin glanced at his battle plan, which he remembered as being full, then fell into contemplation.

What's the point of his earlier serious preparation of the battle plan? His mission here isn't done yet, and the big boss has already wiped out the enemy players.

Shouldn't he be using his own wisdom to control the situation, then lead his teammates to defeat the enemy with a perfect plan?

Although victory seems within easy reach, why does it feel so boring?

These can be said to be completely different from what he originally expected in many ways.

He couldn't help but recall his time at the magic academy, where his instructor had earnestly told him the truth.

The path of a mage is not that of a lone wolf; a mature mage must learn to be a social butterfly, having enough close friends and followers to fight side by side with him, so that his magical abilities can be exerted to their maximum effect.

Ge Lin silently opened his own Zongwang Panel, then submitted a friend request to Mu Yi...

His mind involuntarily conjured up "Thirty-Five Ways to Gain Followers", "1000 Ways to Communicate with Gorillas", and "My Beastman Sword Saint Boyfriend Cultivation"...

If I had known earlier, I should have studied this subject well!

He once scoffed at it, but now he regrets not having done so.
