Chapter 190: Chain Reaction

After Vicki changed her class to 「Soul Mentor」, her level reached 41, barely giving her the ability to contend with the level 50 Gusi, and with Baiyue Ling's terrifying output that clearly did not belong to a level 21, the two of them working together finally had a chance to defeat Gusi.

“What sage time ...... Do you think this is some kind of game of house!”

Gusi let out a shrill roar, and a burst of poisonous mist emerged from the blood-drenched wounds on her body once again, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

She did not go for Baiyue Ling in the sky, but instead aimed for Vicki on the ground, her eight giant spider legs exploding with full force as she came rushing over!

“Bitch! I don't know how you were resurrected ...... but since I could kill you once, I can kill you a second time!”

Facing the massive spider charging toward them, Jelly did not hesitate to step forward, shielding Vicki.

The massive slime body swallowed all the deadly poisonous spider silk flying toward them, neutralizing the fatal attack while simultaneously clamping down hard on Gusi's mandibles, rendering her unable to move.

Vicki, meanwhile, hid unhurriedly behind Jelly, her jade-like finger slicing through the air and pointing at Gusi, as terrifying magical power instantly erupted from her fingertip.

Gusi let out a cry of pain and clutched her head forcefully, her eyes bloodshot, as magical attacks capable of tearing the soul apart surged like waves, repeatedly ravaging her sanity.

The soul is the most fundamental attribute within the human body, and attacks directly targeting the soul are like “true damage,” which is extremely rare in the World of Destiny. 

However, Vicki, having changed her class to 「Soul Mentor」, could easily perform such powerful attacks.

Gusi began to tremble violently, and cracks gradually appeared across her massive spider body, showing a faint tendency to collapse.

She clawed at her white hair with force, leaving streaks of blood, and roared: “Damn it, damn it, damn it, why can't you two bitches just die!”

She suddenly stopped struggling and remained motionless, allowing the cracks on her body to increase and gradually crumble.

As a piece of her body fell away, Baiyue Ling was surprised to find that inside Gusi's body, besides flesh and blood, there was actually a red rectangular object.

No ….... That's not right! That's the magic explosive the men in black used to blow up the mountain range!

This lunatic had actually swallowed the explosives into her stomach long ago!

Baiyue Ling flew back to Vicki's side at top speed and shouted: “Jelly, help!”

At the same time, a flame ignited in Gusi's palm, and she laughed out loud: “Hahahaha! It's useless, you aren't going anywhere, the explosives in my body are enough to blow this half of the mountain to smithereens!”

“You have already failed, my plan is complete, a gap will be blown open in the Panlong Mountain Range, and the Holy Kingdom's army will drive straight in, no one can stop them ...... No one!”

“This is my final art of slaughter, even if I die, I'm taking you all down with me!”

Countless streaks of blazing fire erupted from within Gusi's body, and with an earth-shaking roar, Gusi's body was instantly reduced to ashes.

Immediately following, a shockwave that swept through everything expanded at supersonic speeds, detonating the explosives scattered around the tomb chamber together.

Under this terrifying explosion, the Dragon's Grave collapsed with a crash, and the remaining men in black were instantly turned to ash under the high temperature; wherever the shockwave reached, mountains cracked and trees were crushed, as if the end of the world had arrived.

As the power of the explosion continued to intensify, a massive mushroom cloud rose slowly from the top of the mountain range, gradually obscuring the sky and shrouding the entire Panlong Mountain Range in a layer of gloom.

At the critical moment, Baiyue Ling hugged Vicki tightly, and the two girls hid together within Jelly's protection, gradually being swallowed by the flames of the explosion --

“The signal is here.”

Inside the town across from the Panlong Mountain Range, the Holy Kingdom's General Yazama narrowed her eyes, her gaze sharp as she watched the mushroom cloud rising under the night sky.

She saw the mountain peaks that originally pierced the clouds collapse abruptly, and countless monsters fled in panic from the mountain range, only to be annihilated one by one by the Holy Kingdom's soldiers who had been waiting nearby for a long time.

The shockwave of the explosion turned into a wild wind that blew the stray hairs at Yazama's temples, and she frowned slightly: “The timing is much earlier than scheduled, and the explosion's power is only half of what was expected ...... What exactly is Gusi doing?”

“Forget it, half is enough.”

Yazama swung her arm suddenly, and the soldiers beside her rushed quickly toward the giant horns atop the city gates.

Wooo --!!!

Accompanied by the sound of the battle horns echoing through the sky, the passion of the entire city seemed to be ignited instantly; the Holy Kingdom's soldiers assembled rapidly, their blood boiling, their equipment shining with a cold light, ready to embark on the campaign at any moment.

Yazama stood atop the city gate, looking down at the soldiers surging like a tide below, her eyes firm and indifferent.

“Since the end of the Divine War, the Rose Kingdom has been eyeing our Holy Kingdom's territory with greed, and as soldiers of the Holy Kingdom, we must let them know we are not to be trifled with!”

“Yes!!!”

The soldiers' voices were full of passion and fighting spirit, every word hot like fire, and a blazing flame ignited in their hearts, having prepared themselves to fight for the Holy Kingdom!

“Depart!”

With Yazama's order, the Holy Kingdom's soldiers quickly advanced toward the Panlong Mountain Range.

Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Kingdom were still in a state of confusion in the face of the sudden explosion. 

They quickly sent people to the Lord's Mansion, but the Lord's Mansion was already empty, and the Lord, Gusi, was nowhere to be found.

Due to the existence of the natural barrier of the Panlong Mountain Range, the Kingdom had not deployed much military force for defense in Songyuan City. 

But now that a gap had been blown in the Panlong Mountain Range, the Holy Kingdom's soldiers were about to arrive at the city gates; in the face of the well-prepared Holy Kingdom, the weak military force of Songyuan City was simply vulnerable, not even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, destined to be quickly captured.

The Holy Kingdom's General Yazama rode on her warhorse, leading the soldiers to quickly reach the gap in the Panlong Mountain Range, looking out at Songyuan City under the night sky.

Her eyes were full of confidence, as if Songyuan City was already destined to be hers.

After capturing Songyuan City, the Iris Holy Kingdom could slowly erode the remaining territory of the Rose Kingdom, preparing for the destined civil war within the Light Faction ...... that is, the Second Divine War.

And the Rose Kingdom, having lost its Queen, could only be like meat on a table for others to carve up until its demise.

Yazama raised her right hand, signaling the soldiers behind her to launch a charge.

However, just at that moment, a streak of silver-white light broke through the air, accompanied by a piercing sound that echoed through the clouds; smoke scattered, and a silver-white spear was thrust firmly into the ground.

As the smoke cleared, a young girl riding a snow-white horse pulled out the silver-white spear, looking heroic and valiant as she firmly blocked the path of the Holy Kingdom's soldiers.

“I am the Second Princess of the Rose Kingdom, Xuelong Rose.”

“With this Princess here, don't even think about stepping a single foot into the Kingdom's borders.”
