As if in response to Chen Luo's challenge, from the surging black tide, thousands of bloody shadows suddenly emerged.
The bloody shadows moved with extreme speed and terrifying power.
From the moment they appeared, their incredible velocity left behind a bloody afterimage in their wake, a visual remnant imprinted on human retinas by sheer speed!
These monsters, charging through the surging black waves, caused ordinary night wolves that stood in their path to be instantly reduced to shredded meat in a flash of blood, without even a whimper.
These were truly monsters that surpassed ordinary night wolves.
"They're finally here?" Chen Luo's eyes flashed with sharp light, his golden pupils instantly activating the Eagle Eye technique.
The bloody figures, already moving so fast they appeared as afterimages, revealed their true forms in Chen Luo's eyes.
They were elite night wolves, their fur the color of fresh blood, standing at least two meters tall. With their "Night Shadow" and "Bloodlust" talents activated, these elite monsters exuded a terrifying pressure. A single one of them was a monster capable of annihilating an entire safe zone!
While over a million ordinary night wolves had already fallen to Chen Luo's attacks, only one elite night wolf had been killed by him so far. These monsters, with at least 150,000 health points, had been lurking in the shadows, observing Chen Luo as he continuously unleashed his power upon this world.
Normally, each elite night wolf commanded a small pack. They could tolerate the loss of some subordinates, but Chen Luo's wanton slaughter of millions of night wolves was enough to enrage them completely.
However, Chen Luo's power was immense. Any elite night wolf that dared to show itself would be instantly incinerated into ashes by his focused barrage of hundreds of skills.
Sensing the crisis, the wolf pack, under the king's will, awaited the opportune moment to attack. It wasn't until several hours had passed, and over a million ordinary night wolves had turned into silent ashes in the darkness under the flames, that the wolf pack's rulers began to grow anxious.
It could sense that the human mage's mana fluctuations remained full, and the constant wave attacks had failed to deplete his energy. Although merely a zeroth-order ant, this human's power had surpassed his current rank. Like itself, this man was an undeniable monster!
Therefore, when Chen Luo issued his challenge, the Wolf King completely abandoned the strategy of attrition. After all, when dawn arrived, the wolves of the night would have to retreat.
And the moment the Wolf King changed its mind!
It was the signal for a decisive, thousand-wolf charge!
...
After hours of observation, the Wolf King had determined Chen Luo's attack patterns. His fireballs possessed immense power, flew at incredible speeds, and their explosions were terrifying. Even more formidable was the fact that this mage could simultaneously cast hundreds of fireballs. However, the weakness in Chen Luo's attack pattern was also evident: while the fireballs were fast, their trajectory was too monotonous. Chen Luo merely masked this non-flaw with his overwhelming explosive power and sheer volume of attacks.
Indeed, for ordinary night wolves, Chen Luo's attacks were flawless. The extreme speed of his fireballs could incinerate them into ashes before they could even react! However, when elite night wolves faced Chen Luo with their higher-tier power, this flaw was magnified!
The elite night wolves, with "Bloodlust" and "Wolf Shadow" activated, transformed into streaks of bloody light and afterimages. The fireballs that appeared lightning-fast to ordinary night wolves were merely toys that the elites could dodge at will!
From Chen Luo's previous battles with elite night wolves, one could see how effectively they countered his fireballs. Except for the initial surprise attack that dealt over ten thousand damage to an elite night wolf, Chen Luo had ultimately relied on a multitude of small fireballs to impede the elite night wolf's rapid movement, forcing it down with a sea of fire.
The spectators within the arena, watching the unfolding events, found their hearts tightening.
"I've seen these red monsters before. My boss's fireballs can't hit them individually; they're too fast!"
"These night wolves are too ruthless, with thousands of red monsters attacking at once. Boss is in danger!!"
"No! We have to go out! Even if it's just to block for the boss for a while!"
The anxious crowd tried to rush out of the arena, but unfortunately, the entire venue had been thoroughly reinforced to defend against the wolf pack, and large amounts of debris blocked their escape. The only open doorway was now blocked by a thin blue film, which remained unyielding no matter how much they pushed or attacked.
...
A thousand elite night wolves, at first glance, seemed to have completely surpassed Chen Luo's ability to cope. Chen Luo's current spirit value of 370 points was sufficient for him to cast over five hundred skills simultaneously.
But unfortunately, the thousand-plus elite night wolves attacking at once meant Chen Luo's attacks could not cover the entire pack. Even if he focused fire on one or two, the remaining hundreds of elites would tear him to shreds!
A bloody wolf shadow leaped with ease, evading Chen Luo's launched attack.
Boom!
A violent explosion sounded simultaneously from behind, where ordinary night wolves assisting in the attack had been vaporized by Chen Luo's fireballs.
But the deaths of their comrades behind them did not cause these elites the slightest hesitation. As they approached Chen Luo, their eyes even revealed a cruel mockery.
"Mage? Your slow skills are too weak!!"
"Come on! Let us savor the taste of your flesh!!"
After dodging another fireball from Chen Luo, they were now mere inches away from him. This was a distance that the ordinary night wolves, despite sacrificing millions of lives, had failed to close since the battle began. The elite night wolf at the front could even see the faint veins pulsing on Chen Luo's neck.
Such a powerful mage, his flesh must be incredibly delicious. After devouring it, perhaps it could advance to become a lord. No, perhaps even beyond that, it might be possible to aspire to the king's domain.
The overwhelming advantage filled the elite night wolf's mind with fantasies of a glorious future.
But the next moment, as the elite night wolf raised its head, its bloody wolf eyes met Chen Luo's cold golden gaze:
"With Bloodlust and Wolf Shadow combined, you thought I had no other options besides a barrage of firepower?"
"Are you beasts underestimating me?"
"Watch closely! My new power!"
A new spell trajectory was instantly constructed in the void!
