Chapter 395

"Steady ourselves first, look for an opening!"

……

Boom!!

Boom!!

One after another, the detonations of skills rang out, but within the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】, they stirred up little in the way of raging wind and rain.

It seemed the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】 also had the ability to stabilize space.

But none of that mattered.

As time went on.

Under Aogas and Cheng Xin's frenzied assault, nearly all the contestants and teachers had gathered together, forming an impenetrable line of defense, temporarily holding off the Ground Rats' attack.

"What do we do next?"

That question echoed through the crowd, but only plunged them into confusion.

Defense was not a long-term solution.

The Ground Rats seemed endless, closing in from all sides.

"Wait!!" The lead teacher from the Western Alliance University looked toward the terrifying battle scene in the distance and said in a low voice, "Wait for the demigod battle to end!"

"Sakura Island has plenty of demigods, but their strength is slightly lacking—they can't win!"

"Good!!"

"The problem right now isn't the demigod battle!"

Aide's voice drifted out eerily, "The real threat is that mysterious fierce beast in the magma!!"

At those words.

Everyone fell silent.

That's right—that mysterious fierce beast was the true threat.

To be sealed beneath the Ice-Fire Shenshan, its strength was definitely not as simple as demigod—it was very likely a deity!

"3.0 wait it out, there's nothing we can do about any of this."

"Only a demigod can save us!"

As they lamented, the battle grew ever more brutal.

Some of the weaker contestants, or those whose spirits were on the verge of collapse, had already begun to suffer casualties under the Ground Rats' frenzied attacks.

The instant of death.

The corpses rotted rapidly, turning into skeletons; as the wild wind swept past, ashes scattered…

This was the power of the 【Dark Devouring Magic Array】.

And its true purpose.

To draw in life energy and soul energy, repairing the slumbering fierce-beast deity.

However…

They had no way to stop it, because more and more "Ground Rats" kept appearing.

But…

Those people's target was not in their direction.

It was the direction closer to Ice-Fire Shenshan.

That was precisely where the earlier explosion had occurred.

These people were the venue spectators who had arrived a step earlier—the most radical among them.

To "avenge" Ice-Fire Shenshan!

Before they had advanced far, a figure appeared in midair.

"Are you trying to aid the 'Ground Rats' in their evil?"

Luo Chenyu had cleared out many Ground Rats and was preparing to come this way to harvest "attributes."

But he saw a group of furious Sakura Island professionals arriving.

Under 【Eye of Insight】, Luo Chenyu knew that these professionals were basically not Ground Rats.

"Bastards, you destroyed the Shenshan, trampled our faith—today we will avenge the Shenshan!!"

"Die, and go repent in hell!!"

"……"

One voice after another rang out, the crowd inflamed, their fighting spirit soaring high!

However…

Luo Chenyu indicated that aside from a smattering of swear words, he couldn't understand a single word.

But he knew that the ones who had spoken first were all Ground Rat professionals, goading these Sakura Island idiots into coming here to die!

"Too bad… you're thinking a bit too much!"

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Luo Chenyu's mouth.

He dove rapidly down toward the crowd.

Sky-Supporting!!.
