Chapter 544: Chapter 544: Necromancer vs Ghost Swordsman
The sudden appearance of Zhang Yue caused everyone present to be shocked.
Just by aura alone, Zhang Yue was not even inferior to the Level 500 Tier 9 Kwon Ji-hyun and Elfa.
Therefore, the first reaction of outsiders was to think that the Asura God of Dragon Nation had descended.
Until they saw clearly Zhang Yue's identity as a [Level 130 Tier 4 Necromancer], everyone then relaxed their posture.
"So it's just him," Inoue Amano stepped forward, looked at Zhang Yue with a contemptuous gaze, and said in a mocking tone, "Turns out it's the newly risen god of Dragon Nation, huh."
"Unfortunately, a Tier 4 god is not even as good as a bug in the eyes of me, a Tier 9 powerhouse."
At this moment, Wolong behind Zhang Yue spoke in a deep voice to Zhang Yue, "You shouldn't have come, this battle does not belong to you."
Zhang Yue's gaze burned as he stared ahead and said, "Protecting Dragon Nation should be a battle that belongs to every citizen of Dragon Nation."
Facing off, Inoue Amano was already impatient to make a move.
After all, he had long wanted to personally kill Zhang Yue, but never had the chance.
Right now, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just as Inoue Amano gripped the ghost blade, ready to strike Zhang Yue, suddenly, a force seemed to restrain the ghost blade in Inoue Amano's hand, making him unable to move it.
Inoue Amano understood, it was Elfa who used ghost shadows to control his ghost blade.
So he turned back and glanced at Elfa, "Please let me settle him with my own hands, to avenge my son."
Elfa ignored Inoue Amano's request and instead looked at Zhang Yue with a cold gaze, saying to him, "You should still have a Resurrection God Stone in your hand, hand it over."
"If you have the ability, why don't you go inside the Gate of Eternal Life and take it yourself?"
Facing the world's number one powerhouse, and with a gap of 370 levels between the two, Zhang Yue still did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he calmly looked at Elfa.
Then he said, "Oh right, I suppose you don't have that kind of ability. Otherwise, you wouldn't need to plead to me."
"This is not a plea," Elfa stared at Zhang Yue and said coldly, "This is a warning."
"I've heard of you, a once-in-a-century genius profession powerhouse, invincible among Tier 4s. Relying on your own strength, you plundered seven Resurrection God Stones across World 22."
"But you must understand, with your current strength, you are only invincible within the Tier 4 range. This is not a world that insists on fair duels under all circumstances."
"The power you currently possess isn't even as much as a strand of my hair. I hope you can understand what I mean."
Hearing Elfa's words full of threat, Zhang Yue said calmly, "Since you understand my strength, you also understand my potential."
"If you're smart enough, you should think of leaving a way out for your own future, always leave a margin."
Elfa chuckled faintly, "Future?"
"You think you can have a future?"
Zhang Yue said, "What makes you so sure I don't have a future?"
"Because if you don't hand over the Resurrection God Stone, I guarantee, you won't live past today," The calmer the words, the more they carried endless deterrence.
As the words fell.
Swish!
The Infernal Skeleton King, summoned at some unknown point in time, suddenly charged at Elfa from the side at high speed.
Elfa stared straight ahead without blinking, and without even moving a finger, directly shocked out a strong light from within his body, sending the Skeleton King flying.
Upon landing, the Skeleton King's health bar, once full, was instantly emptied.
Elfa didn't move an inch and said in a contemptuous tone to Zhang Yue, "Don't you think your move was foolish?"
Zhang Yue smiled calmly, "Really? I don't think so."
As he spoke, on the other side, a dragon's roar suddenly sounded.
Turning quickly, they saw the Hell Demon Dragon carrying Restiev soaring into the air.
"What...", Seeing that Restiev actually broke free from the control of the Demon Realm Ancestral Dragon, Elfa was a little surprised.
Only then did he realize: while he was resisting the Skeleton King's assault just now—
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Four black shadows suddenly darted out from who knows where, and suddenly launched an attack at Kloster, who was currently manipulating the Demon Realm Ancestral Dragon to maintain control over Restiev.
Kloster defended with all his might. In his urgency, he recalled the Demon Realm Ancestral Dragon and used its power to repel the four assassins, only then did he avoid disaster.
At the same time, because the Demon Realm Ancestral Dragon was recalled, Restiev broke free from control.
And the true purpose of Zhang Yue manipulating the Skeleton King to attack Elfa, was merely to distract him and create an opportunity for those four assassins to rescue Restiev.
Because Elfa was closest to Kloster, if Zhang Yue didn't do this, the four assassins wouldn't have had a chance to approach Kloster and would've been killed by Elfa.
And those four assassins were all Tier 9 professional powerhouses from Bear Nation.
Bear Nation's reinforcement forces had arrived on the battlefield.
Seeing this scheme Zhang Yue pulled off with the Bear Nationn assassins, Elfa unexpectedly let out a soft laugh, "Clever trick, but to sacrifice one of your pets for this, don't you think it's unnecessary?"
"Sacrifice? That might disappoint you."
As Zhang Yue finished speaking, the Skeleton King, which had already been blasted into a pile of bones, suddenly reassembled itself.
The next second, it revived in place.
The special effect [Rebirth] of the Skeleton King allows it to revive on the spot upon death. This effect can be triggered once every 12 hours.
Even though Restiev broke free from control, Elfa still didn't care.
Because in his eyes, the outcome of this war was already set.
No matter what, it couldn't change the fate of Dragon Nation's destruction.
At this moment, Restiev rode the Hell Demon Dragon and landed beside Zhang Yue.
He said to Zhang Yue, "If it weren't for that Demon Realm Wizard, I could've held off those two. But now the Demon Realm Wizard has been revived by Elfa, and his control through the Ancestral Dragon is too strong, inevitably, I can't stop Elfa and Kwon Ji-hyun anymore."
"This battle, we have no chance of winning. There's no need to sacrifice yourself just to uphold a belief. You should retreat first, I'll cover you," Restiev looked earnestly at Zhang Yue and said, "Only when you reach Tier 9 strength will you have the power to fight them. You cannot die. Even if Dragon Nation perishes, you will be the hope for its next revival."
On the battlefield, frontline professional powerhouses from Dragon Nation and Bear Nation who had come to support also persuaded Zhang Yue, "Yes, you are our Dragon Nation's greatest hope. As long as we keep you alive, Dragon Nation still has hope."
At this moment, it was as if they had returned to a hundred years ago, when Zhang Yue stood alone against the Level 9 beast tide.
Remember back then, countless citizens also urged Asura to retreat conservatively.
But in the end, Asura resisted the beast tide with sheer will.
Today, Zhang Yue would not retreat either.
As everyone tried to persuade Zhang Yue to retreat, Zhang Yue suddenly said to Restiev, "If I kill Elfa, do you have confidence in holding off the others?"
