CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 186: THE ADVANTAGE OF NUMBERS

Numerical Superiority

Online!

Opening his eyes, he was already outside the Stone Gate, and immediately let out a sigh of relief.

Eye of Investigation Notice: You have exited the Celestial Net’s range.

Small Knife was startled; clearly, the Celestial Net had broken.

What a close call, just a few seconds difference.

"Alert, watch out for enemies," Small Knife shouted directly, rushing outward.

Leaving behind the Little Cultivator who couldn’t come out, looking helpless.

He still didn’t know what had happened.

At this point, the Combat within the Witch Residence received the notification simultaneously.

The reason was simple; although the Celestial Net had broken, the Totem Pole was erected in the courtyard of the Witch Residence, and its Domain coverage was extensive.

The area where Small Knife was still within the Domain range, so he could directly issue commands through the Totem Pole.

The NPCs there were startled and swiftly prepared for battle.

Over here, Small Knife swiftly ascended and soon arrived in the courtyard.

Outside, the Witch Residence had long been surrounded tightly by a massive amount of players, densely packed with people.

At the instant the Celestial Net broke, players already surrounded in all directions launched an attack at the first opportunity.

Indeed, they directly launched an assault on the Witch Residence.

In an instant, the Witch Residence faced at least thousands of attacks, and more than ten thousand players surrounded it, none with a level below Level 80.

Clearly, this time, the two major powers were putting all efforts in, if it weren’t too far, the number would at least be several times more.

This is the foundation of the two major powers.

The number wasn’t ten thousand, but thirty thousand, thirty thousand players at a minimum of Level 80.

Such manpower and resources fully committed are to ensure absolute success.

The wooden Witch Residence would be instantly destroyed by a collective strike.

Such an attack would be lethal even for an Immortal Master; if not dead, they would at least shed a layer of skin.

The likelihood of death is high.

Assuming all hits land.

With the attack, the Witch Residence trembled violently, runes emerged, but it wasn’t destroyed.

This was completely beyond the expectations of the two presidents.

However, the assault didn’t stop.

Under continuous attacks, the Witch Residence shook intensely like an earthquake, runes emerged, clearly reaching its limit.

"Great technique! All Nine Heavens extraordinary Witch Artifacts, and they’re even composite types." As the runes emerged, the two presidents immediately judged.

This Witch Residence was clearly not a traditional Upper Grade Witch Artifact.

It had already become a composite Witch Artifact.

Because a Witch Artifact could only have up to nine Witch Patterns, apart from Totem Poles relying on sacrificing one’s Life, no Witch Artifact with more than nine Witch Runes was found.

Three or below are Junior-level Witch Artifacts, between three to six are Middle-level Witch Artifacts, seven to nine are Upper Grade Witch Artifacts.

Nine runes fuse into Top Grade, starting to evolve toward Magical Artifact, but that’s for Talisman, a Witch Artifact can’t achieve this.

Nine is the ultimate number, similarly for runes of a Talisman.

But now, this Witch Residence seemed whole.

In fact, this wall revealed nine Witch Runes.

Similarly, the adjacent wall was the same, as if blocks of nine Witch Runes were connected, a medley of Upper Grade Witch Artifacts cobbled together.

"Quite creative, and financially capable," Four Seas President reflected.

"Yet they’re destined to die," Nine Heavens Sword interjected.

At this moment, the Witch Residence began its counterattack.

A large number of Stone Arrows shot out from all parts of the Witch Residence, for a moment at least thousands launched.

Caught off guard, nearly a hundred players were killed in a focused fire.

Soon after, the beta players responded, employing various tactics that diminished the killing effect significantly.

After all, these players were all Level 80 or above, even though most didn’t surpass the Level 80 threshold.

Small Knife swiftly rushed up from the underground tunnel, arriving in the courtyard, just in time to see his subordinates NPCs wielding crossbows in retaliation.

These specially disguised, bespoke crossbows fired Stone Arrows and could Continuous Fire, but their power fell far short compared to firearms.

The effect against Level 80 players was very limited.

In reality, new high-power crossbows were in development, but no prototype existed yet.

Thoughts of using machine guns and other high-power technological weapons flashed momentarily.

No, such an action would attract major trouble in reality.

Under siege, the Witch Residence trembled, seeming to begin shrinking.

The two presidents outside were already shocked; undestroyed under such attack?

This Witch Residence is definitely not wooden.

Disguise?

Really a cunning fellow.

Small Knife immediately checked; the Witch Residence’s Blood Qi consumption was severe, impossible to replenish in time.

Yet under the current situation, even with ample Blood Qi, it couldn’t hold back.

Scar-faced Ghost holding the Ten Spirits Banner was quite agitated and at a loss.

The Spirit Ghosts inside couldn’t be killed?

Fire Ghost had already climbed the wall, reaching out, fingertip-sized Fireballs shot out.

With each strike, a player turned to ashes.

She specifically chose strong players, but it’s still a drop in the bucket.

"This boss has been very good to us; I can’t disgrace myself," Scar-faced Ghost finally shook the Ten Spirits Banner, ten Spirit Ghosts transformed into faint phantoms and rushed out.

Instantly entering the bodies of ten players.

The Life above the heads of the ten players instantly depleted, their bodies softened, and they fell to the ground.

Immediately, ten phantoms emerged, entering other players’ bodies.

Too fast, players simply couldn’t react.

Ten after ten continued dying.

In just a short time, the Ten Spirits Banner’s kills surpassed the total of all ally kills.

Small Knife gave a command, and a multitude of Blood-colored Vines stretched out from the walls, these were Hundred Level rated.
