Chapter 350: The God Destroys Konoha

Another half-day passed.

The Konoha players who had already rushed to the battlefield seemed to have brought the situation under control.

They forcibly intercepted the battle line that was constantly pushing forward, and countless God clones and Konoha Troops fell into a stalemate.

Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of gunshots echoed across the battlefield.

Members of the Hyuga Clan lay prone on the brand-new city wall, holding their breath and gripping the sniper rifles in their hands.

"Absolutely do not let the Abyss Goblins approach the city wall!"

The leader of the Hyuga Clan shouted to the others beside him.

This city wall was a new one barely constructed to resist the God clones; its level was very low, and it could not withstand several self-destructions by the Abyss Goblins at all.

The materials for subsequent upgrades to the city wall were still in transit.

They had to hold the defensive line during this period.

"Understood!"

There were about two hundred Hyuga Clan players, divided into two groups.

One group was the melee unit.

Like Neji, who had already betrayed the clan, they used 【Nen Master】 and 【Brawler】 as their core abilities, capable of unleashing the super-strong power of the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palms to the greatest extent.

The other group was the long-range shooting unit.

Hyuga Hinata, who had once been regarded as a burden by the clan head and had already been abandoned as an heir,

because her combat ability was weak, but she was unwilling to give up and wanted to help Uzumaki Naruto and everyone else with her own abilities.

So, she unexpectedly blazed a new trail, avoiding the disadvantage of her weak melee ability to practice marksmanship, using firearms as long-range strike weapons, and supplementing them with the Byakugan to strengthen gun skills like 【Pingxi Miaozhun】 and 【Armor-Piercing Shot】.

Eventually, she discovered that this reinforcement route had extremely strong auxiliary capabilities, and its lethality during sneak attacks was astonishing.

She was valued by Hyuga Hiashi and cultivated as being just as important as the melee unit.

A special long-range shooting unit was created.

"Hoo."

Hyuga Hinata held her breath, the sniper rifle resting on her shoulder gleaming with a cold metallic luster, full of a sense of technology.

【Barrett-Destruction】: The latest Technology Firearm created by the Defender Organization, embedded with a special energy core, possessing extremely strong lethality.

She used most of the Reward Points dropped from hunting Pollution Monsters to purchase this sniper rifle.

【Eagle-Eyed Gunner Lv. 24】.

This was Hyuga Hinata's core ability, a skill capable of erupting with extremely high damage in a short time, with all transcendence gathered within her eyes like those of a hawk.

Bang.

A massive, explosion-like gunshot.

A golden bullet broke out of the barrel, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and blew apart the half-section soul body of a God clone.

The moment the gunshot rang out, Hyuga Hinata's originally pure white pupils flickered with Silver light, faintly converging into the shape of a silver eagle.

Her short hair fluttered in the wind,

making her, who was originally delicate, look heroic and spirited.

"Who is that? Such accurate marksmanship, such great power!"

Hyuga Hiashi, who was watching the battle from the command post, suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at the long-range shooting unit inside the crystal ball.

After a sweep,

his gaze landed on an unexpected figure.

"Hinata?"

Hyuga Hiashi was stunned at first, then looked with a complex expression at the young girl who was lying on the ground drinking a potion because her energy was exhausted.

With a face full of mud and gunpowder dust, she had none of the reserve of a Hyuga Noble; the young lady of a clan with a thousand-year heritage looked just like a wild girl after traveling through the wilderness.

This successor who had already been abandoned by him, the girl who had discovered the advantage of the Hyuga Clan's 【Long-range Shooting】 in the first place, did not just have simple good luck.

At this dangerous moment of the God's attack,

Hyuga Hinata displayed excellent aptitude that had always been buried by her personality, moving Hyuga Hiashi.

On the city wall, Hyuga Hinata's face was slightly red, and she whispered, "Naruto, can I help you now?"

The rest of the battlefield was in a similar situation.

The participation of the Konoha players began to turn the lopsided situation around. All the ninja and civilians were encouraged, and morale soared.

Just at this moment,

an anomaly occurred.

The God's main body, which shrouded the entire firmament, suddenly raised its arms; the Short Blade already plunged into its chest was gripped by its hands, which resembled withered branches. *Slash. *

Previously, just by having its chest sliced open, countless God clones had flowed out,

but now, the entire belly was completely cut open by the God.

Like a gushing spring,

pitch-black energy bubbled and flowed toward the earth, and as gusts of wild wind blew, it turned into a sky full of black rain.

As the raindrops fell on the God clones, one figure after another suddenly began to swell and mutate; their originally transparent soul bodies grew flesh and blood like mad, condensing into solid forms.

*Clang. *

Like heavy stone statues worshipped in a temple, the solidified God clones crashed to the ground.

【Abyss Summoner Lv. 30 (God clone)】: A God clone soaked by the black rain, possessing power approaching Lord-level.

The entire Land of Hot Water fell silent.

The originally lively and jubilant atmosphere became oppressive.

"You've got to be kidding, a Lord-level monster?"

The ordinary ninja were still somewhat bewildered,

but those players serving as the main force all revealed expressions of horror and panic.

Because they were very clear about the combat power tiers of the monsters.

Lv. 30 ordinary monsters have 【300】 combat power, Elite monsters 【600】 combat power, and Commander Monster 【900】 combat power.

A Lord Monster's combat power is approximately 【1300】.

A player of the same level must master at least ten max-level skills, branded onto their ability core, to possess matching combat power.

Take Tsunade for example; her ability core is 【Paladin Lv. 35】, which can grant her Divine Power, and with compatible minor skills like 【Apocalypse Pearl】 and 【Pure White Blade】, as long as they are leveled to the max, they can all be branded onto the ability core.

The more minor skills branded, the stronger the combat power.

However, most players simply do not have a large amount of Reward Points to support branding all their minor skills.

Although they are all Lv. 30, their true combat power is only on par with a Commander or even an Elite monster.

Yet what they have to face now are endless 【Lord Monster】s; such a huge disparity in combat power cannot be made up for by numbers alone.

【Abyss Brute Lv. 31 (Evil God Avatar)】.

A massive Evil God resembling a stone statue, with muscles like steel,

eyes slightly closed, shooting out refined red light.

It raised its thick arms, blocking in front of itself in a charging stance, and the next second, the entire stone statue, like a giant cannonball launched, smashed into the crowd.

Dust and smoke rose everywhere.

The city wall that the ninja were desperately protecting was directly smashed open, creating a huge gap.

Broken rocks piled up to the side, and the Abyss Brute stepped over the ruins of the city wall, its heavy footsteps entering the prosperous town of the Land of Hot Water.

Bang.

A Barrett bullet shot out; Hinata, who had barely recovered her eagle-eye energy, exhausted the energy in her body once more, landing her most powerful shot on the Pollution Monster.

Yet it returned the sound of steel colliding.

The twisted and deformed bullet head fell to the ground; on the chest of the Abyss Brute, only a shallow dent appeared, not interfering with its continued movement in the slightest.

Pfft.

It appeared clumsy, but it was exceptionally agile, leaping high into the air before landing directly on the wall top.

Its feet sank into the floor, and the hard stone tiles were stepped into spiderweb cracks.

It reached out a thick palm, grabbing two members of the Hyuga Clan's long-range shooting unit at once, and with a slight exertion of its five fingers, it crushed the two of them.

Blood dripped down through the gaps in its fingers.

The fourth most prosperous town in the Land of Hot Water, known as the Pearl of Hot Springs, with thousands of ninja and hundreds of Konoha players stationed to guard it.

Declared fallen!
