They were cirri formed by the extension of mental strength, but Link felt as if he could command them with ease. It was as if these cirri were his true limbs.
The translucent cirri were like steel whips; the frightening blast pressure almost broke the air!
Under the 100% buff of all attributes, Link’s hands—which gripped his sword—weren’t idle either. Power of death gathered on the sword blade.
It was [Death Judgment]!
At this moment, a jet-black aura lingered around Link. His robes flapped as if he was the god who controlled death, stepping out from the boundless underworld!
A huge phantom abruptly appeared from behind Link! This was a figure entirely shrouded beneath black robes. Once it appeared, it seemed like death itself. The universe had to tremble for it.
The black hood hid its face; only the big sickle in its hand gleamed with a startling glow!
As the sword blade danced, the sickle swung out toward the Dark Sage!
Pu chi!
The sword blade and cirri tore through the air and practically arrived at the same time.
During such a dire crisis, the Dark Sage—who was immersed in the [God of Evil’s Whispers] state—also seemed to be alerted. His eyelids twitched slightly, wanting to sober up.
After that, a roar—which almost tore one’s ear membranes apart—exploded on scene. A terrifying air blast swept across like a windstorm!
As an abyss creature, the Dark Sage possessed a certain resistance against death-attribute attacks.
But Link’s attributes surpassed those of his peers at the same stage. Together with his boosted attributes, the might of this [Death Judgment] was extremely fearsome. It was enough to injure the Dark Sage severely.
At the heart of the windstorm.
The sand and stones on the ground were cracked, and gullies crisscrossed the space. The Dark Sage’s armor splintered, and a massive wound almost tore him into two halves.
Between the left and right sections of his body, only some flesh and skin were connected as purple blood dripped continuously.
[Death Judgment]’s instant death effect was not triggered, but the Dark Sage was still in an extremely miserable state presently.
Moreover, under Link’s powerful offense, the Dark Sage was completely unable to concentrate on resisting the [God of Evil’s Whispers]—as well as the madness and pollution the cirri brought.
[Aberration] and [Degeneration] also exploded within the Dark Sage’s body!
The masses all over his body squirmed madly. The Dark Sage’s skin ripped apart, and cirri or blood-red eyes formed on his body unceasingly.
Within a mere few breaths’ time, the Dark Sage had lost his form and become a lump of flesh that constantly squirmed.
An aura of insanity and degeneration surged out without end.
“I’ll kill… kill you!” The Dark Sage—who looked entirely different—opened the tens of mouths all over his body, which had grown due to the aberration, and released a hoarse snarl at the same time.
But following the uncontrollable aberration’s continuation, it completely drained the last of the Dark Sage’s lifeforce.
The flesh that formed the Dark Sage’s body began to disintegrate on a large scale, crumbling into minced flesh.
Link watched the Dark Sage—who’d lost his mind—turn into distorted pieces of flesh, feeling alert inwardly. “This is the pollution and distortion produced by the [Mask of the Faceless]?”
He contacted Yuna through his thoughts. ‘Yuna, use Holy Light Purification.’
Balls of holy light energy soon smashed the Dark Sage like meteors.
Link also swung out streaks of sword energy, repeatedly chopping up the remnants of the Dark Sage.
After being burnt by the golden holy flames, they finally erased this Dark Sage’s existence completely.
A system notification also sounded in Link’s mind.
[Ding! Successfully killed Stage Six Dark Sage. EXP +1,000,000!]
[Ding! Cross-level kill detected. Gained 500% additional EXP!]
…
Following the Dark Sage’s annihilation, the reflections—which were originally fighting with all the [Doomsday Online] players—also distorted and shattered with the Dark Sage.
The Undead creatures that had reached the city gates instantly froze. All the creatures sensed that the suppression belonging to the Dark Sage had vanished.
For a time, the entire battleground became silent for this reason!
Countless humans and Undead creatures simultaneously turned their heads and looked in Link’s direction, all full of shock!
“The Stage Six Dark Sage is dead!”
“How is this possible?!”
“That is an existence summoned using the Door of Abyss! How could it die in the hands of a human?”
Countless Undead instantly broke out into a commotion, and hoarse exclamations rose unceasingly!
The soul fires deep within their eye sockets trembled violently, expressing their emotions of shock and disbelief.
What kind of human being was this?
He actually made them, the Undead, experience unprecedented fear!
The Undead creatures were stunned by Link and completely lost the will to fight. They practically became dazed on the spot. It was as though a huge hammer had harshly landed on their souls!
Meanwhile, all the [Doomsday Online] players became spirited at once.
On the city wall.
Fatty Lu Da sucked in a mouthful of cold air and could not help saying, “Damn it! Link is too strong! Unfortunately, I, Fatty, am uncultured! I go around the world with just one word—awesome…”
“Today is truly eye-opening!”
Yang Xuerou—who was originally worried about Link—heaved a sigh of relief. Her pretty face was full of agitation and delight.
[Demon Sealing Arrow] Luo Xingyao could barely contain her shock at this point too. Her red lips slightly parted as she murmured, “Is this Lord’s true capability?”
A Stage Six monster originally shouldn’t have appeared in the siege. It was summoned by the Evil General with its life as the price, yet it ended up dying in Link’s hands!
One must know that Link was merely a Stage Four powerhouse like her! Yet, he could suppress a Stage Five existence and shred a Stage Six one!
What kind of terrifying combat power was this?
Under the city.
Luo Xinghe—who was fighting whilst bathed in blood—presently gazed at Link’s back from far away; he was practically dazed.
He thought inwardly, Lord’s strengthening speed is too fast; it virtually puts one in despair!
Xue Linglong, who was at the side, also stopped slightly. She stared at Link, a splendid radiance spinning in her beautiful eyes.
“City Master is mighty! Brothers, kill and crush all of these Undead that dare invade my Unfallen City!” Someone was greatly encouraged and shouted loudly, pouncing toward the Undead creatures once more.
All the [Doomsday Online] players responded successively, and the cheers were unceasing. The pairs of eyes that glanced at Link were full of reverence and agitation!
“Kill!”
“We absolutely cannot let these Undead creatures off!”
“Unfallen City shall never fall!”
…
“Those who attack my human race must be killed!” Luo Xinghe also let out a loud yell. The longsword in his hand was like a whirlwind as he joined in the killing of the Undead army even more ferociously.
Presently, the Undead army’s leader had already been killed by Link. Although there was still a considerable number of Undead, the army was without a leader.
Moreover, with the help of [Territory of Thunder], Yuna, God Devourer Ant, and the other powerful summoned creatures, there was no longer any suspense to the battle.
The [Doomsday Online] players killed the Undead creatures in a crushing manner—it was practically a landslide. There was no need for Link to strike again.
With his thoughts, the cirri—constructed using mental strength—picked up the few items on the ground and had them floating before him.
These things were the items that the Stage Six Dark Sage had dropped—a scroll and a circular-shaped mirror.
There were still small amounts of black substances remaining on them. Link did not touch them immediately. Instead, he planned on getting Yuna to purify the items before he examined his gains…
