Chapter 394

Control!

Heal!

Purify!

However… none of this worked.

Luo Chenyu wasn't about to let a cooked "rat" slip away!

A basic attack?

When going all-out, that wasn't the best choice.

Add a 【Steel Shield】, pushing out the previous basic 【Steel Shield】 and detonating it.

Now, even a basic-state 【Steel Shield】 carried tens of millions of shield value, and the devastating damage from the explosion was something a Tier 9 rat without its lock-blood state could never withstand.

Boom!!

Devastation Damage -122,153,000 (Daoist Zixu's Divine Thunder)!

……

The explosion, along with the divine thunder, wildly swept across a radius of several hundred meters.

In an instant, every rat professional within range was uncontrollably blasted flying, scattering everywhere.

Even more…

Some of the Low Tier rat professionals had their bodies blasted into ash on the spot, dissipating into the air.

"Ding, you have slain Level 143 Tier 8 professional 【Dahe Mountain Range】. Due to the power of 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】, you only absorbed 99% of the soul power!!"

"Ding, you triggered the title 【God-Slayer】's effect, Strength +35 points!"

"Ding, you triggered the divine artifact 【Evil God · Soul-Devouring Chain】's effect, All Attributes +20 points, Damage Amplification +1%!"

"Ding, you have slain Level 101 Tier 7 professional 【Ozawa Rin】, ……"

……

"Ding, you have slain……"

"……"

Prompt after prompt appeared, and Luo Chenyu laughed wildly.

"Hahaha… that 'only' is brilliantly used!"

He had bet right!

His soul-draining ability surpassed the Tier 9 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】; every professional he killed would become his nourishment!

While the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】 could only pick at the leftovers.

So then…

The slaughter, began!!

After the baptism of two skills, that Tier 9 rat still hadn't died.

But it was about there.

Vault!

Luo Chenyu stomped on the Tier 9 rat's head, the pitch-black spiked club came crashing down from above, slamming into the target's chest!

Bang!!

A massive damage number floated up, and a huge hole was punched through the Tier 9 rat's chest.

"Ding, you have slain Level 159 professional 【Chikata Tomoya】. Due to the power of 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】, you only absorbed 99% of the soul power!!"

"Ding, you triggered the title 【God-Slayer】's effect, Constitution +50 points!"

"Ding, you triggered the divine artifact 【Evil God · Soul-Devouring Chain】's effect, All Attributes +30 points, Block Rate +3%, Physical Hit Rate +5%!"

……

Killing professionals was far more profitable than killing monsters.

Apart from no experience…

Whether it was the two attribute-"stealing" abilities, or the drop rate, it was all 100%!

Most importantly, the soul-draining effect was also far better than with monsters.

The Heart of Soul Origin was crying out for nourishment!

"Little Red… ah, just possess me instead!"

Originally Luo Chenyu had wanted to let the little loli in red come out to add some damage output and control.

But…

Remembering that the little loli in red's kills wouldn't fully drain soul power, he still suppressed the thought.

Tired is tired then!

Perfect — use these rat professionals to stack up the 【Steel Shield】's shield value!

This time.

Luo Chenyu could truly be said to be going all-out.

Every seven seconds, a 【Steel Shield】 bombardment, and each bombardment could take out swathes of Low Tier rat professionals.

At this moment…

He felt as if he had returned to a few days ago, when he was leveling in Dragon Abyss Valley and Yangshan.

Treating professionals like mobs to farm!

Perhaps, only Luo Chenyu could pull something like this off!

………………

At this moment, the contestants and teachers from other countries trapped inside the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】 were completely dumbfounded.

Facing the countless ground rats, they could only struggle to hold on.

"Fuck, where did so many ground rats come from!!"

"Sakura Island is definitely a super rat's nest — there are even ground rats from other countries…"

"There are too many ground rats, let's group up fast, otherwise we're all done for!"

"Move closer to Beautiful Country and the Western Alliance Academy, their strength can hold off the ground rats' siege!!"

"Necromancers really are a great hand for group battles!"

"Why did I hesitate? I should have used the 【Mass Teleport Scroll】 long ago — the Dark Sky Curtain can actually even block this teleportation ability… too unbelievable!"

"Still, Xuanlong Nation was decisive — they just left!"

"Cut through, group up!"

……

In fact, many contestants and teachers were trapped inside the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】... 0

Some hadn't brought a 【Mass Teleport Scroll】, some didn't have time to use one before the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】 fully formed, restricting their use of it.

They knew that now there was only one path: fight.

Now, the only piece of good news.

Was that when their attributes dropped, the ground rats' attributes dropped too.

At least, they wouldn't be crushed outright.

The professionals trapped inside the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】 were all the cream of their tier — not something those unevenly matched ground rats could look down upon.

"Ed, you hold off those ground rats!"

As he spoke, Ogas charged toward the other side, "Cheng, let's go reinforce them!!"

Hearing Ogas's voice, Ed's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't argue, and directed his undead army to surge toward the ground rats.

Ed didn't care about anything else.

He could have left long ago, but there was still a wild ambition in his heart.

For that chance-encounter quest, for obtaining the 【God-Imprisoning Key】 on Luo Chenyu, what was a little risk?

Ambush Luo Chenyu on Sakura Island!

It was already the best timing — after all, that guy Luo Chenyu was elusive, and normally there wasn't much trace of him.

Even if it failed, he could still withdraw safely.

Ed hadn't revealed his full strength; if "negotiations" with Luo Chenyu failed, then he could only resort to his last measure.

Luo Chenyu was fierce, but that terrifying skill must have no short cooldown!

In truth, he still felt a little relieved in his heart.

Fortunately he hadn't struck first, otherwise he might well have had to take that terrifying skill head-on.
