Chapter 997: Chapter 304: Lime Battlefield
It seemed like they walked from one end of time to another, with no ups and downs, just so abruptly, they appeared on a battlefield.
The ground was full of corpses, mostly soldiers dressed in armor, and some creatures with grey-white skin, gigantic in size, resembling human monsters.
“What is this place?” Shen Jinxuan looked around in confusion, and before she could recover, she saw a large figure rushing toward them, carrying a cold aura.
“Kill!”
People with pale skin, with their lower bodies in a spirit form rushed at them, reaching four to five meters tall, emitting an aura similar to demons, but definitely not demons, also mixed with human breath.
Sean widened his eyes upon seeing that thing but did not back down. A blue folder appeared in his hand, which grew larger, reaching the size of a door panel, then he slapped it toward the enemy.
The folder’s power was greater than imagined, seemingly containing its repelling force, instantly sending the giant creature, like a demon yet human, flying into the nearby forest.
Sean turned back to look at Su Changxing and smiled, “Boss, how was my move?”
Su Changxing nodded, casually replying, “Not bad, just a bit weak, didn’t manage to kill it in one go.”
Sean had survived the Death Rift for so long, his strength was undoubtedly impeccable, being one of the elites among Tier Six Extraordinary.
That thing resembling both human and demon was not weak either, being Tier Six, yet Sean managed to send it flying with a single hit, which proved the disparity between their powers.
“This creature is quite inferior compared to real demons. Back in the Death Rift, Tier Six demons could chase me all over,” Sean said proudly, feeling free once outside.
The creature fell into the forest and did not reappear, seemingly fleeing.
Soon after, a group of armored soldiers came from behind, looking ragged, showing admiration upon seeing them, then said:
“You’re Extraordinary from the High Dimension, right? Thank you for driving away the Frost Ghost. Otherwise, we really couldn’t hold our ground.”
Su Changxing and the others exchanged glances. They were certainly not from the High Dimension; they had stumbled upon this battlefield by accident after leaving the Death Rift.
Following Hongjun’s guidance, they did leave the Death Rift but ended up in an unknown place, seemingly a battlefield, involving the High-dimensional world.
Sean didn’t deny it either, showing a professional, friendly smile, “Could you introduce the situation here? We just arrived.”
The officer nodded, understanding and not finding Su Changxing and the others’ attire strange. Extraordinary from the High Dimension are usually like this, seemingly from different worlds, so different costumes are not unusual; witnessing it multiple times makes it unsurprising.
“Recently, the Darkness of Ice erupted again, unleashing many powerful demons, and even a Calamity level demon appeared. We can only shrink our defense but are still beaten back repeatedly. We’ve been seeking aid from the High Dimension for tens of days without any assistance. Thankfully, you’ve come now.”
Hearing this, Su Changxing and the others wondered. They were certainly not aid from far high dimensions.
The officer removed an old-style radio from his chest, handing it to Sean, saying:
“The Right Camp urgently needs help, seemingly unable to hold on. You need to rush over and support while we attend to other tasks, which will be communicated through the radio.”
After barely a few words, the officer led those soldiers and rushed southward.
Sean held the radio, where shouts continuously echoed, looking bewildered, and asked Su Changxing:
“Boss, what should we do? Should we really go support the Right Camp? We’re not Extraordinary from the High Dimension.”
Su Changxing looked at him and chuckled, “Don’t want to go? But you’re someone who survived the Death Rift, probably born to deal with these demons.”
Indeed.
The Death Rift’s cultivation system wasn’t complete, potentially losing some practices over time, causing Extraordinary like Sean to emerge with great strength but lacking corresponding maturity.
It might be that Sean himself is unique, inherently more eager to survive…
Sean showed an awkward expression, “Boss, you see, it wasn’t easy for me to live through this, not that I’m scared, just don’t want to die so easily… living shouldn’t be wrong, right?”
Su Changxing said irritably, “Alright, I’m not sending you to death. With me around, you won’t die. Let’s go check it out. Without knowing the situation here, we need to figure out a way to leave.”
Immediately, the phone vibrated, displaying a task notification.
[Emergency support: Level B, you’ve arrived at the Lime Battlefield. The Right Camp in the north is under heavy attack. You need to head over and support immediately.
Arrive before the Right Camp gets breached to receive a weapon upgrade and three hundred Black Coins.]
Clearly, this place is within the coverage of the Doomsday Game, triggering tasks with logic upon entering.
They hurried north, seeing lightning massively striking the ground in the distance, like a storm. Vaguely, they saw a giant white-haired Giant holding an enormous wooden club.
“Retreat, retreat, we can’t hold it anymore, we’re retreating.” Guo Renqian shouted loudly, surrounded by flying electricity, unable to maintain countenance, rolling over in the wind, and crawling backward.
Initially, they had a chance to hold them back, but suddenly a Calamity level demon emerged from the White Ice Illusion Mist. Despite nine Tier Five Extraordinary, they couldn’t withstand it, not only a Calamity level demon but also adult Ice Giants.
Five Extraordinary died in the first encounter, as the Calamity level demon was too terrifying.
Caught off guard, they retreated repeatedly, with significant damage; the Right Camp’s hundred thousand troops suffered grave casualties, losing seventy percent.
The horn sounded simultaneously, signaling retreat, the Right Camp essentially declared breached.
Guo Renqian retreated while manipulating electricity to trap the Ice Giant, “If reinforcements don’t arrive, we might not even hold Celestial Gate Token, did High Dimension abandon us?”
Beside him, supporting him, was a tall, black-haired general, face covered with blood, the current highest commander of the Right Camp, Wenze, eyes wide open, hair half floating in the air like a mad lion, roaring:
“We cannot give up! If we’re breached, the entire battlefield becomes severely disadvantaged. Guo Renqian, cover me, I’ll lead the troops to charge, see if we can slay that monster.”
“Everyone, charge!”
Raising his sword high, without waiting for Guo Renqian’s response, he led thousands to charge at the Ice Giant, Frost slowly spreading through the forest, capable of freezing limbs completely.
Seeing Wenze unyielding, Guo Renqian cursed ‘lunatic’ but still controlled more electricity to strike the Ice Giant, restraining its movement.
Without him, the Right Camp might have fallen seven or eight days ago.
Being a player, he came for a task, but it’s beyond tasks now, concerning countless lives.
Once Celestial Gate Token falls, several worlds behind it could be affected; matters worsening might see several worlds overrun by demons.
“Damn it!”
“Something must’ve gone wrong; otherwise, aid from High Dimension should’ve arrived by now.”
