"Forbidden Spell: Gravitational Field!"
High in the sky, the recently re-gathered swarm of flying exotic beasts, which had been covering the sky and obscuring the sun, was slammed down as if by an invisible giant hand!
"Gaaā!"
"Jiuā!"
Sharp and mournful cries echoed through the clouds.
Under twenty times the terrifying gravity, countless flying exotic beasts instantly lost control of their bodies.
They plummeted from the sky with a crackling sound, like birds with broken wings, or like a dense black downpour!
On the ground, the beast tide that had just surged to the defensive barrier suffered a devastating blow.
"Plop! Plop!"
Countless smaller exotic beasts couldn't withstand the terrifying pressure and were immediately pressed to the ground, unable to move.
Their bones emitted a strained "crunching" sound, their internal organs were crushed, and dark green blood gushed from their mouths.
Even the thick-skinned, large-bodied Calamity-RankĀ BOSSes were struggling, each step requiring immense effort.
The entire beast tide's offensive, at this moment, was forcibly halted!
However, this was not the end.
What awaited them was endless ice!
"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"
Zhou HuaiĀ lightly tapped his staff.
Centered around the breach in the city wall, a visible seven-colored cold current, like a bursting flood, spread wildly forward!
The air, at this moment, seemed to be frozen!
The swarm of exotic beasts, firmly pressed to the ground by the Gravitational Field, had no time to react before being completely engulfed by this sudden extreme cold!
A massive troll bear was struggling to stand up.
When the seven-colored cold current touched its paw, dazzling ice crystals spread wildly up its body at a visible speed.
It opened its gaping maw, wanting to let out a final roar.
But before the sound could escape, its entire head was completely sealed by a layer of magnificent seven-colored ice crystals.
Finally, it transformed into a lifelike ice sculpture, filled with despair and unwillingness.
Looking around.
Outside the city wall, a vast area spanning several kilometers was completely transformed into a world of seven-colored ice and snow.
Countless exotic beasts were frozen within it, in various strange and peculiar forms, like a forest of ice sculptures interwoven with death and beauty.
Occasionally, a few extremely resilient Calamity-RankĀ BOSSes miraculously survived, but they were trapped in the indestructibleĀ Ice Prison Cage, unable to move.
In just a few moves.
Thousands more exotic beasts died atĀ Gandalf's hands.
Crushing.
Unstoppable.
The precarious East City Gate, which seemed as if it could be overwhelmed by the beast tide at any moment.
Because of one person's appearance, it now ā ššØšÆšš„š¢š š”š ā became more impregnable than ever.
The military soldiers and guild professionals who had originally retreated into the city cautiously peeked out again.
When they saw the miraculous scene before them, their eyes widened, and they were speechless.
This... is this really something a human can achieve?
They gaped, their throats dry, unable to utter a single word.
Among the crowd, onlyĀ Sun Tian, looking at the figure on the Dragon, trembled with excitement.
"It's thatĀ Gandalf!"
"It really is thatĀ Gandalf!!!"
His voice lacked its usual composure, filled with excitement and ecstasy.
Who would have thought that the person he had always wanted to recruit.
Now became the savior in everyone's hearts.
"Our Donghai City is saved!!!"
Zhou HuaiĀ also saw the invigorated professionals below.
He spoke no nonsense, his voice like rolling thunder, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"The East City Gate is enough for me alone."
"MinisterĀ Li Gang, please take everyone and immediately go support the west and north city walls."
One person defending one city gate.
If these words had come from anyone else, everyone present would have thought he was crazy.
But the one who said it wasĀ Gandalf.
He was the SS-RankĀ Forbidden Spell MageĀ who single-handedly swept theĀ National ExaminationĀ and was hailed as the hope for the future of Daxia.
The death zone outside the city, composed of seven-colored ice sculptures, was the best proof of his strength.
No one would doubt it.
No one dared to doubt it.
Li GangĀ coughed heavily twice, his chest rising and falling, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
He knew now was not the time to truly celebrate.
Although he still had many questions in his heart.
But for now, holding Donghai City was the most crucial thing!
He turned sharply, and on his face, full of fatigue and bloodstains, a fierceĀ Battle IntentĀ ignited again.
"Everyone who can still move, listen up!"
Li GangĀ roared, his voice shaking the heavens.
"Divide into two routes by squad!"
"First, Third, and Fifth Squads, follow me to support the West City Gate!"
"The rest of you, immediately head to the North City Gate!"
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
"Yes!"
The surviving soldiers responded in unison.
They quickly sprang into action, led by their respective captains, and rushed towards the other two directions within the city.
At this moment, the previous despondency and despair were gone from everyone's eyes.
GandalfĀ had become the pillar of strength for everyone.
As long as he was still here.
Donghai City would not fall!
The main force, led byĀ Li Gang, rushed like two torrents towards the other two directions within the city.
Zhou HuaiĀ controlledĀ GandalfĀ as he leaped from Xiao Hei's back.
He stood quietly on the empty city wall.
He patted Xiao Hei's head, covered in hard scales, his voice calm.
"You go too."
"Support the other city gates."
After consuming the corpse of theĀ Soul-Devouring Golden Feather Eagle, in just one day, Xiao Hei'sĀ RankĀ had soared fromĀ RankĀ 16 toĀ RankĀ 18.
Its body had visibly swelled, and the terrifying aura from the abyss became even more solid.
Compared to devouring magic crystals, devouring powerful beings of the sameĀ RankĀ clearly had a better enhancement effect on it.
"Roar..."
Xiao Hei let out a low Dragon roar, affectionately rubbingĀ Gandalf's body with its massive head.
A hint of worry even appeared in its dark Dragon eyes.
As if remindingĀ Zhou HuaiĀ to be careful.
Zhou HuaiĀ smiled.
"Go."
Xiao Hei circled in the air for a moment, then let out a high-pitched Dragon roar, flapped its wings, and its massive body transformed into a black lightning bolt, swiftly flying towards the West City Gate.
And it was at this moment.
Rumbleā
The ground began to tremble violently again.
On the distant horizon, the beast tide, which had just been cleared of a large area, once again surged like churning black ink, rolling in.
This time, their numbers were greater and denser than any previous time.
It was as if the main force of the entire beast tide had re-converged towards the East City Gate.
Zhou HuaiĀ controlledĀ GandalfĀ as he stood alone on the city wall, his expression completely calm.
He slowly raised the staff in his hand, and ancient and obscure incantations once again chanted from his mouth.
"Forbidden Spell - Meteor Shower!"
"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"
"Forbidden Spell:Ā Fierce Blade Storm!"
One devastating Forbidden Spell after another was casually cast by him, as if they cost nothing, pouring down frantically onto the beast tide below!
Green Meteor Fire Rain incineratedĀ Souls, seven-colored ice froze everything, and violent wind blades tore everything apart!
After several rounds of Forbidden Spell bombardment, nearly ten thousand more exotic beasts turned into flying ashes before even touching the edge of the already shattered defensive barrier.
A dazzling golden light of upgrading burst forth fromĀ Gandalf's body!
HisĀ RankĀ successfully reachedĀ RankĀ 44 under the infusion of massive experience points!
Zhou HuaiĀ grinned.
Who would have thought that this beast tide, which struck fear into countless people, had now becomeĀ Gandalf's best leveling ground.
As long as no moreĀ AdvancedĀ Hell-Level BOSSes appeared.
GandalfĀ defending one city wall alone was not a problem at all.
Just as he was thinking this.
"Roarā!!!"
A Dragon roar filled with tyranny and destructive aura came from the distant sky without warning!
The sound actually managed to completely drown out all the clamor on the battlefield!
Zhou Huai's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly looked up.
He saw a massive Dragon, burning with crimson flames, slowly flapping its wings in the distant sky, rapidly flying towards the East City Gate!
It was precisely theĀ Hell-level BOSSĀ that had appeared in the Ancient Hall ruins!
Zhou HuaiĀ raised an eyebrow.
Well, well.
Speak of the devil.
However, that wasn't all.
Boomā!!!
The city wall beneath his feet shook violently without warning!
Immediately after, the land outside the city, stained with blood and corpses, actually began to undulate violently like waves!
An enormous bulge rapidly rose in the center of the beast tide!
"Hissā!!!"
A terrifying hiss, as if it could tear apart theĀ Soul, came from deep underground!
The next second!
The earth cracked!
An enormous, hideous snake head, completely covered in dark scales, suddenly emerged from the ground!
Just its head was as large as a house!
It opened its gaping maw, large enough to swallow an elephant, its crimson forked tongue flickering, and its pair of ghastly green vertical pupils, like lanterns, locked onto the tiny figure on the city wall!
Zhou Huai's eyes narrowed slightly.
No way.
Are two Hell-Level BOSSes coming at once this time?
