CHAPTER 1865: CHAPTER 1858: THE SHIFT OF OFFENSE AND DEFENSE

Upon thinking this, Cheng Ziang immediately felt invigorated and quickly conveyed his ideas to Luo’er. After listening, Luo’er also agreed with Cheng Ziang’s plan.

Indeed, it now seems a bit like the strategy of racing a weaker horse against a stronger one. Since Fula is mainly focused on defense, why not let her fend off the attack of the Nascent Soul, while Liseya takes the initiative to attack the surrounding soldiers?

The current situation is that the offensive Liseya is entangled with the Nascent Soul, seemingly attacking actively, but actually defending. Meanwhile, the defensive Fula is assisting the Advance Team in resisting the soldiers’ attacks, which seems somewhat like a waste of talent.

After pondering it for a moment, Luo’er made up his mind and softly called Fula to appear.

"What’s the matter, Luo’er?" Fula appeared and asked.

She was somewhat distracted, having to respond to Luo’er while maintaining the Defense Shield for the Advance Team.

"Go tell Liseya to attack those soldiers below, and stop getting tangled with the Nascent Soul, otherwise, it will never end," Luo’er commanded.

"But," Fula widened her eyes, "if she comes down, who will deal with the Nascent Soul?"

"You, of course," Luo’er answered matter-of-factly.

"Me?" Fula was greatly surprised, pointing at herself.

"Exactly, you are primarily defensive, so it’s ideal for you to fend off the Nascent Soul’s attack, but we can’t deal with the surrounding soldiers all at once, so we have to rely on Liseya’s attack, so she can’t keep getting tangled," Luo’er explained.

"Then if I come, what about the surroundings..."

"Don’t worry, you can remove the defense now, these people won’t dare to attack immediately, and even if they do, we can hold out for a while, don’t worry about us," Luo’er reassured.

"Using you to defend against these soldiers is somewhat overqualified, so why not block the Nascent Soul and let Liseya free her hands," Cheng Ziang added.

"Alright then," Fula looked around, made up her mind, and nodded, "I’ll go now, you guys hold on."

"Don’t worry, we’re not that fragile. Even without you, the Advance Team has managed to get by," Luo’er said with a smile.

With that, Fula instantly disappeared from where she was. Although it was not noticeable due to the magical disturbance, Luo’er felt that the surrounding shield should have already been withdrawn, so he commanded loudly: "Everyone stay alert, do not actively attack."

After he shouted this, Tangmo couldn’t help but glance back at him. She saw Luo’er in a holy robe, looking stern, holding a rifle alertly surveying the surroundings.

At that moment, she felt as if she had returned to the time when the Advance Team first came to the Otherworld, when Luo’er was giving orders to the Advance Team like this. That familiar feeling, returning after many years, couldn’t help but make her feel emotional.

He was no longer the saint or the national tutor, but Luo’er as the Captain of the Advance Team.

Tangmo turned back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a gratified smile.

More than ten seconds after Fula disappeared, everyone suddenly saw a meteor descend from the sky at such speed that before they could react, it crashed heavily into the group of soldiers, causing a violent explosion.

The intense explosion shook the earth, emitting a deafening roar. This was a violent explosion triggered by the instantaneous eruption of pure magic, whose released magic caused air friction, generating high temperatures and strong light, like a sun exploding on the ground.

The soldiers directly hit by the light sphere were instantly enveloped in it and turned to dust in a flash, the resulting shockwave swept through the nearby soldiers, causing them to scream miserably as fire sprayed from their seven apertures.

This was the effect of Liseya detonating the internal Qitian within these soldiers, converting it into flames, a method she commonly used.

The shockwave continued to spread, soldiers further away felt the air temperature plummet rapidly, and upon inhaling a breath of air, they felt a stinging chill, with some quickly freezing to death.

This is a very unusual phenomenon, generating light and heat from an explosion, with the surrounding temperature rapidly dropping, even going down to over a hundred degrees below zero within five seconds.

Of course, this was also Liseya’s handiwork, using magic to lower the space’s temperature, which is the most common ice spell on the Western Continent.

Liseya’s attack truly opened up the eyes of the Advance Team, even though all she cast were the most common spells from the Western Continent. But what was remarkable was that she could combine multiple offensive spells at the moment of the explosion, truly befitting a demigod.

Such a frequency and intensity of magic casting are likely unmatched even by the strongest Forbidden Curse Level Magic Conductors on the Western Continent.

The explosion carved out a crater over five meters in diameter on the ground, the turned-up soil blanketed with a layer of black smoke, even starting to dry and clump due to the high temperatures.

But Liseya’s magical creativity was not limited to this, because after the explosion, the dazzling light sphere did not disappear, but instead bounced like a ball towards the next densely packed area of people.

The soldiers watched in terror as the light sphere crashed towards them, and upon its impact with the ground, there was another violent explosion and roar.

This time it was absolute high temperatures, with the temperature around the explosion site skyrocketing by several hundred degrees within seconds. Wherever the light shone, the soil turned to coke, plants withered, living things burned, like scenes from hell reincarnated.

Under the horrified gaze of the crowd, Liseya performed a third bounce. This time, when the light sphere hit the ground, the scene was even more gruesome.

All the soldiers within ten meters of the explosion erupted blood from their bodies in an instant, forming a crimson blood mist.

This was the result of magic driving the blood inside these cultivators to burst out, leading to large-scale blood mist phenomena.

The dense blood mist almost obscured the center of the explosion, the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood, even staining everyone present. The landscape and vegetation at the explosion site were all coated with a layer of blood mist, resembling a red fungal blanket.

In dealing with enemies, Liseya was always full of creativity, constantly testing her inspirations in battle. Luo’er was always grateful that she had not truly regarded the Advance Team as enemies at that time, or else their fate might not have been much better than these people.

Upon witnessing such carnage, even the experienced Advance Team couldn’t conceal their fear, with Baiyue even retching uncontrollably.

In just over ten seconds, Liseya killed dozens of soldiers in three different ways, her cruelty shocking everyone and instilling unprecedented fear in the soldiers.

Liseya continued the slaughter, and at the same time, another meteor appeared in the sky. However, this time, its target was not the soldiers, but the Advance Team members.

When the meteor was about ten meters above the Advance Team members, an invisible shield stopped the flashing star, as the shield unfurled by Fula successfully blocked the Nascent Soul’s impact, preventing it from posing a substantial threat to the Advance Team.

But the light sphere did not seem to give up, it bounced again, then crashed down heavily. However, each of its attacks was unsurprisingly blocked by Fula.

This proved that Cheng Ziang’s reasoning was correct.

Leveraging the different characteristics of Fula and Liseya indeed achieved a breakthrough effect.

Now Liseya was rampaging, while the Nascent Soul couldn’t breach Fula’s defense, hence couldn’t threaten the Advance Team.

As for the previously worried possibility that the soldiers might exploit the gap to launch an attack, it now seemed completely pointless. Because the soldiers had already been beaten by Liseya into fleeing like rats, they had long lost the ability to attack, merely scurrying away in all directions.

Unlike the battles between True Gods, the demigods’ need for a vessel determined that they needed to cooperate with mortals. Therefore, in such battles, mortals were not merely spectators, completely unable to help.

The battle showed a one-sided trend, Liseya as a demigod was overwhelmingly powerful against ordinary people, to the extent that the numerous soldiers posed no obstacle to her whatsoever, even becoming her targets for slaughter.
