The blood-red killing intent on the long saber continuously surged.
As the momentum reached its peak, the warrior plummeted heavily from the sky!
Boom!
Under multiple buffs and after countless lives were sacrificed, the warrior's saber became the last straw!
From top to bottom, the ferocious Death Skeletons were split in half!
Clatter...
The accumulated injuries finally reached their limit, and the soul fire within the skull quietly dissipated.
The bones, sturdier than steel, seemed to lose their divine essence and crumbled one after another.
Kill completed!
Joy spread through the heart like a warm current. Defeating a powerful enemy brought not only experience points but also tempering for the soldiers themselves.
Just as the warrior felt genuine joy from the hard-won victory,
Crack...
The warrior looked up. Most of his comrades beside him had been killed, and several dark skeletons were approaching him.
In the battlefield, only a few scattered remains of slain skeletons were left. The warriors at the forefront of the tide had mostly fallen.
Although they managed to achieve the kill, the cost was thousands of times the casualties.
Perhaps only an immortal legion like themselves could contend with these monsters risen from death.
The warrior drew his long saber, which was stuck in the ground. The apprehension in his expression had vanished.
He remained silent and charged towards the monsters once more, a charge of certain death.
...
Chen Luo, high in the sky, watched the unyielding warrior with admiration.
On the vast battlefield, the warrior wielding the saber was not alone. Many scarlet soldiers were undergoing transformation in their arduous battles.
Facing monsters far superior in strength, they had done their best.
In Chen Luo's eyes, the trajectories of countless skills flashed by rapidly.
Many skills could be rapidly improved.
The price for this was that Chen Luo's brain had been operating at high speed for many days.
And his efforts were now about to bear fruit.
Chen Luo sensed the soldiers' yearning for power and said solemnly,
"Then, I shall grant you the power to truly fight these monsters!"
"This is: Overwhelming Odds!"
[Skill proficiency has reached the standard, the rare legion ultimate skill "Overwhelming Odds" has advanced to S-rank]
[Overwhelming Odds (S-rank Rare)]
[Effects]:
1. Flesh Liberation (Ultimate Skill!): During the skill's duration, all legion soldiers will completely remove all protective limits on their physical bodies! Harm yourself and others! Perish with the enemy!!!
2. Frenzied Battle Intent: Pain perception completely shielded! All stimulating hormones secreted to the maximum! Plunged into complete madness!!!
....
The warrior held his long saber, his gaze icy as he looked at the silently approaching Death Skeletons.
He only regretted his own weakness, knowing he couldn't contend with these elite-level monsters alone.
However, even if he were to die, he would leave his mark on their bones.
The warrior's spirit was highly concentrated. As the monsters drew closer, life and death hung in the balance.
But, in the next moment.
An invisible wave suddenly swept over all survivors on the battlefield!
Boom!
Something exploded in his mind!
Thump!
His heart pounded like a heavy drum, beating fiercely.
His calm eyes instantly turned blood-red, veins bulging on his body. The warrior, holding his long saber, couldn't help but roar at the approaching monsters:
"Die!!"
The red-armored warrior transformed into a streak of blood-red light, charging rapidly towards the Death Skeletons.
The black soul fire in the skeletons' eyes flickered. They paused, and two skeletons also transformed into black beams of light, shooting towards the blood-red streak.
Hum!!
Darkness and blood-red light instantly pierced through!
The figures of the monster and the warrior reappeared, one person and two monsters, frozen in place like statues.
The next moment...
Crack...
Terrifying shattering sounds continuously echoed from the two skeletons.
Upon closer inspection, the originally jade-like ink-black bones were now covered in dense, fine cracks.
In just a moment of engagement, the warrior had inflicted terrifying wounds on the two skeletons.
A large amount of death aura erupted from the gray-white ground, desperately trying to repair the skeletons' damage.
The power of a single strike was terrifying.
And if the skeletons suffered such terrible damage, what about the warrior?
Miserable! Utterly miserable!
The bones in his limbs, due to excessive force, had even broken through the protection of flesh and blood.
Humans, often, cannot exert their full strength.
This is because the human structure and material limitations naturally impose a protective maximum limit on their exertion.
The skill "Overwhelming Odds" had removed all protective limitations without any reservation.
Humans could unleash their true full strength, at the cost of their physical bodies shattering!
"Cough..." The warrior coughed lightly, a large amount of blood wanting to gush out from within him.
His crimson eyes were filled with exhilaration.
That last exchange felt amazing!
After being suppressed for so long, they finally had the qualification to fight back!
The same scene was unfolding everywhere on the battlefield. After activating Overwhelming Odds, the legion members' destructive power surged!
But strangely, these berserk warriors, despite their bodies being damaged by excessive force,
Their powerful strength had left them broken.
Yet, no one died at this moment.
In fact, their broken bodies were rapidly recovering under a peculiar power!
[Skill proficiency has reached the standard, the legion skill "Feast" has advanced to S-rank]
[Affected by the player title "Novice," the skill has mutated]
["Feast" has mutated into the rare legion skill "Flesh Feast"!]
[Flesh Feast (S-rank Rare)]
[Effects]:
1. Blood for Blood: During the skill's duration, under the witness of fairness, all attack damage gains a one hundred percent lifesteal effect!
2. Absolute Lifesteal (Special Mutation): Regardless of whether the enemy is a living being, any entity that can inflict damage can generate a lifesteal effect, and the overflowed HP can repair the bodies of the legion's summoned units!
.
The warrior's limbs, where bones had protruded through flesh, began to retract rapidly.
The shattered flesh and blood also healed quickly with the overflowed HP.
A moment later, the repaired warrior turned around, looking at the skeletons that were also gazing at him, and beckoned with his finger:
"Come! Let's fight to our heart's content!!"
..
The tide of battle began to turn!
The dark skeletons were no longer an insurmountable wall of sighs.
After Overwhelming Odds, the scarlet tide,
Even the weakest warrior now possessed elite-level strength.
Although the cost of this strength was that every swing of the saber, every draw of the bow, could injure themselves first.
But under the effect of "Flesh Feast," the legion's casualties had actually decreased significantly!
Boom!!!
The wall of sighs was finally breached by the scarlet tide.
The hundred thousand soldiers completely surged out of the streets, breaking the frontline that had been held at the edge of the gray-white land.
They truly pushed into the gray, dead land!
But what awaited them at this moment,
Were monsters, crazily swarming from all directions!
