Chapter 319: Third-Turn Quest! End the War!

The Mysterious Sword

Li Yao preferred to call it the "Sword of War."

Killing enemies temporarily increases attributes.

It made the burning damage of 【Torrential Flame Hell】 leap up almost an entire tier!

Even a Fifth-Turn monster

could only persist in the sea of fire for a dozen seconds.

Ordinary monsters were guaranteed to be reduced to ash within seconds.

The experience notifications never stopped!

Li Yao estimated

that if he killed all these peripheral monsters,

once he completed his Third Turn, **CHAPTER 723**

he might even level up several times in a row!

One must know,

these Titan monsters were almost all above level 40.

Every single one was a kill above his level!

The flames burned intensely.

No monster could approach Li Yao while enduring the scorching heat.

Taking advantage of this spare moment, Li Yao silently recited:

"Accept Third-Turn quest."

【Ding! Do you wish to consume Sorrow-Delusion Crystals/Ancient Dust Heart to increase the quest difficulty!】

"Yes."

He had prepared three job-advancement items; wasn't it for this very moment?

【Ding! Accepting Third-Turn quest!】

【Acceptance failed!】

【Hex System is interfering with the Third-Turn quest.】

【Ding! Cloudtop Chess Player exclusive Third-Turn quest accepted successfully!】

【Ding! Consumed two Sorrow-Delusion Crystals and one Ancient Dust Heart; Third-Turn quest difficulty significantly increased!】

【Quest Description: As the strongest summoning-type class, how can you participate in your first war without achieving illustrious military merit?】

【Yes, as of now, the Chess Player has slain enemy leaders and achieved great battle merit.】

【But for a Chess Player, it is not enough! Far from enough!】

【Go to the Abyss, destroy the five core teleportation vortexes of the Titan race, end the campaign, and become a war hero!】

【Obtained temporary quest item: Vortex Destruction Card x5. Can detect if a vortex is a core vortex and destroy it (Remaining time: 23: 9)】

"Destroy the core teleportation vortexes."

Li Yao pondered.

These must be the purple vortexes he saw when he emerged from the Abyss, right?

They looked numerous,

but in reality, there were only five cores.

Destroying them would close the passage and end the war completely!

"This quest is exactly what I wanted!" Li Yao felt a bit excited.

War could bring him an increase in strength,

but it also brought unimaginable disaster to the Dragon Kingdom.

In this war,

just from what Li Yao had seen,

over a thousand professionals had died at the hands of monsters.

Not to mention, if the professionals were defeated and the barrier fell, the monsters would set foot on Blue Star.

Li Yao hoped more

that the Dragon Kingdom would lead people into the Abyss to launch an active offensive within the Titan territory!

Instead of being on the defensive like this.

"Once I resolve these monsters, I'll go to the Abyss again."

Li Yao made up his mind.

Half an hour later,

Li Yao summoned all his chess pieces.

He let Kha'Zix operate freely

to harvest monster lives and accumulate attribute points.

The other chess pieces went to assist the professionals in clearing out the monsters in the inner area.

One hour later,

the sea of fire spread to the shattered 【Fortress Wall】.

Covering the entire outer region completely, except for the central area.

Li Yao felt a slight sense of dizziness.

The shackles had long since disappeared.

The subsequent sea of fire was being sustained by Gainerat.

The dizziness

was the signal transmitted to the summoner when the summoned creature's mana was exhausted.

Gainerat's 【Torrential Flame Hell】 had much higher damage than 【Glacial Storm】.

Correspondingly,

the mana consumption was also more significant.

"That's about enough."

Li Yao chuckled.

Li Yao had killed 70% of the monsters in the entire area by himself!

Large-area skills were just that overbearing!

He didn't even dare to imagine

how much experience he had gained.

However,

his previous thoughts had been a bit naive.

Going to the Abyss in this state would be no different from seeking death.

Mana was different from health;

it could not be materialized into data.

Essence, Qi, Spirit, and various factors were combined together.

Li Yao now only felt waves of stinging pain in his mind.

It wasn't just Gainerat;

all the chess pieces,

under high-intensity confrontation with monsters, had their mana bottomed out.

If he wanted to release a few more skills, he could actually do it,

but it felt like

working for two days and two nights without rest,

just wanting to lie on a bed and have a good sleep.

Just then,

a figure flew in from the horizon.

After seeing who it was, Li Yao revealed a smile: "Teacher."

"Eat this first."

Xue Xue Jiulan didn't say a word and tossed over a yellow pill.

Li Yao swallowed it in one gulp, and his mind felt clear: "What is this?"

"Spirit-Clearing Pill; it can alleviate the discomfort after mana exhaustion."

Xue Xue Jiulan smiled, looking Li Yao up and down.

"How is it? You aren't hurt, are you?"

"Looking at you, you don't seem like you're hurt!"

"You kid, you really know how to give people surprises."

With the war starting, Xue Xue Jiulan, as the commander-in-chief, was under immense pressure.

Li Yao's appearance was equivalent to changing the course of the war single-handedly.

As his teacher, how could she not be happy?

"I was just lucky; compared to those powerful monsters, I'm still far behind," Li Yao said modestly. **CHAPTER 724**

"The owner of that arm?" Xue Xue Jiulan said candidly, "Don't talk about you; even I don't have the confidence to fight it."

"That is a Seventh-Turn monster. How many days have you been promoted?"

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

"To be able to achieve this level is already..."

Speaking of this, Xue Xue Jiulan suddenly paused.

She couldn't imagine how to describe this level for a moment.

In short,

one could no longer look at Li Yao as a junior.

Below the Sixth Turn, he could be called invincible!

Even Captain Some Jingyu wasn't this outrageous!

"Let's go over first."

Xue Xue Jiulan looked toward the mountain peak.

"Tell me on the way how you appeared here."

"Alright."

Li Yao nodded and followed Xue Xue Jiulan as they hurried toward that side.

Along the way,

Li Yao told Xue Xue Jiulan everything about the anomaly that occurred in the 【Torrential Flame Grotto】, everyone being teleported to the Abyss,

the Flame-Seat Crab, the Floating Water Spirit, and the parasites.

He told her everything.

The monsters attempted to occupy Blue Star;

humans, why wouldn't they also wish to explore the Abyss?

Telling his teacher these details

should be helpful for the human exploration process.

Xue Xue Jiulan was attracted by the Abyss in Li Yao's words.

"A monster bigger than a city?"

"Overlord-level?"

"Good fellow, your teacher has never seen an Overlord-level creature in her entire life, and you saw one on your first trip?"

Looking at his eager teacher,

three black lines appeared on Li Yao's forehead.

"Is this something worth praising?"

If the Flame-Seat Crab were the kind of monster that liked to kill,

none of them would have been able to come back alive!

That kind of great power—

if the professional limit was the Seventh Turn,

Li Yao even doubted

whether Overlord-level creatures were even things humans could fight!

Even at the Seventh Turn, one would be as small as an ant in front of them!

"That's true," Xue Xue Jiulan nodded thoughtfully, "The luck was indeed bad."

"Overlord-level creatures are beings that can reign supreme even in a place like the Abyss."

"As far as I know, even the strongest and highest-ranking member of the Titan royal family isn't as exaggerated as you described."

While speaking,

the two arrived at the edge of the mountain foot.

The war here was still continuing,

but the human professionals had already gained the upper hand,

gradually pushing the front line toward the mountain peak.

The teleportation vortex was on the other side of the mountain.

As long as they occupied the peak, it would be easy to defend and hard to attack.

No matter how many monsters came, they could suppress them here.

Li Yao summoned Gainerat to his side,

asked his teacher for another Spirit-Clearing Pill,

fed it to Gainerat, and then put it back into the chess piece space.

For now, the battle situation could be considered stabilized,

so there was no need to continue exploiting Gainerat.

The two bypassed the battlefield

and arrived at the mountain peak.

Their gazes looked down at the giant vortex below,

which was like a gate to hell.

Countless monsters of various shapes were crawling out of it in an endless stream.

Xue Xue Jiulan narrowed her eyes, her expression darkening slightly.

"Something is wrong."

"What?" Li Yao asked.

"The efficiency is too high!"

At this moment,

a figure landed beside the two.

"No wonder," Hua Hua Qianshuang pondered, "No wonder that group of guys is still able to keep their cool."

"With this kind of movement efficiency,"

"I'm afraid it won't take many minutes"

"before the monsters here surge back to their original levels!" **CHAPTER 725**
