Chapter 278: 227: Holy Light Illumination, Ultimate Skill Sweep, Surrender and Admit Defeat_2
The thought of Lord Zi's manipulation of his bestie was clearly for the sake of gaining Contribution Value, thus deliberately leaking the information and even buying someone off to spread it among the sophomore students!
"Damn it, who is the betrayer, willing to let the entire sophomore class become stepping stones for Zi Liyuan, just to help him!"
Enraged by the calculation, Situ Linglong's face turned red with anger, yet most of her face was hidden under her helmet, invisible to others.
"I don't care anymore, I'm unleashing my big move. I'm going to reduce these Bone Dragon Bosses to ashes, making him lose a huge sum of Contribution Value! If it burns, I'll surrender!"
The thought of losing millions of Contribution Value pained Situ Linglong's heart, especially since there was a wager to be won in this battle, making her face grow even more tense.
"So be it, Wings of the Angel, activate!"
The pair of illusory wings on Situ Linglong's back shattered into points of light at that moment, then transformed into a gigantic statue of an angel behind her.
"Judgment of the Angel, Holy Sword of Divine Judgment, may the Holy Light illuminate the earth! Divine Radiance!"
The overwhelming Power of Holy Light turned into a ring of light that swept across in all directions.
Every Bone Dragon that touched by this layer of light turned to bone dust in an instant, then dispersed into thin air with a whisk of the wind.
However, Situ Linglong's use of her ultimate ability, unleashing various instant auxiliary skills, resulted in a rapid burst of power, but also a two-second delay before it activated.
Naturally, Li Yuan didn't miss this opportunity to strike, as nine Spears of Death almost instantly appeared in front of Situ Linglong.
The huge Power of Death struck against the light ring head-on.
The forces of death and the holy forces collided once again, causing a terrifying explosion between them and even distorting the surrounding space.
Despite being suppressed by the Power of Holy Light, the nine Spears of Death unleashed a frightening power.
A small area of the light ring condensed by Divine Radiance was stained black and even directly corroded and broke that section.
And as the sweeping light ring expanded in all directions, there appeared an ever-widening gap right in Li Yuan's direction, completely leaving Lord Zi unscathed without inflicting even the slightest damage on him.
Li Yuan's actions did not stop; upon launching the Spears of Death and seeing the light ring sweep towards him, he immediately and without hesitation dispersed his Bone Dragon Bosses back to the Netherworld.
The sweeping Holy Light was clearly an attempt by the opponent to clear the field with a big move; how could Li Yuan easily allow Situ Linglong to have her way?
Each Bone Dragon Boss, at the critical moment just as the light ring was about to sweep over, was sent back to the Netherworld, thus narrowly escaping the fate of being burned to bone ash.
As for the Replicas, they were inconsequential, just skill copies and defective ones at that, mere trash that could only grapple physically; if they died, they could be summoned again after ten minutes.
The Replica Bone Dragons, under the sweep of the Holy Light Energy, were almost completely annihilated, and the original ones were thrown back into the Netherworld.
Situ Linglong's sweep was successful, but Zi Liyuan's not short of summons; he's got them all.
The moment the light ring swept past, Lord Zi once again raised his Magic Wand, and a huge grey Array for summoning reappeared in front of him.
Then one could see Bone Dragon Bosses charging out of the summoning array again, roaring furiously at Situ Linglong.
This time, without the Replicas, there couldn't be another splitting of one into seven.
But a Squadron of forty or fifty Bone Dragon Bosses was still formidable, especially after Situ Linglong had just unleashed her big move, the equivalent of casting a Minor Forbidden Spell.
She was now in a weakened state, the amplifying BUFFs that were just on her had mostly dissipated, and she had now been afflicted with a debuff that temporarily reduced all her attributes by 10% for ten minutes.
This was only because the amplifying BUFFs she had just initiated resisted most of the negative effects; otherwise, the weakness following the eruption of a Minor Forbidden Spell wouldn't be so mild—a 50% reduction in all attributes would be the least!
"If you can't unleash such a clearing move again, then I won't hold back."
The summoning did not stop, and with the Magic Wand in Lord Zi's hand raised once more, one Array after another was cast.
Netherworld Skeleton Mages, rare Zombie BOSS groups, Spectre legions, Vampire legions, and then came the leaders of each of the Undead Species.
Zombie King, Phantom King, Blood Race Vampire King... and even two massive Patchwork Monsters appeared!
Zi Liyuan had no idea how many monster BOSSes he had collected in his Spatial Backpack, but to show respect for these BOSSes, he directly used some of the lower-level BOSS corpses to create Patchwork Monsters.
Two colossal LV80 Patchwork Monsters, modeled after hero-level BOSSes, looked like mountains of flesh, utterly disgusting and terrifying.
Lord Zi had to admit, seeing these two creations he had made with his own hands, he lost his appetite and hadn't eaten all day.
No wonder death profession users are called perverts by others, being able to create such bloody, disgusting war puppets truly indicates a psychological problem!
Lord Zi insisted that he was not a pervert, nor did he have psychological issues, he was simply embracing the idea of not wasting the BOSSes' corpses and decided to give it a try, unexpectedly resulting in the creation of two hero-level BOSS Patchwork Monster puppets.
"I surrender!"
There was no need to continue fighting. Situ Linglong looked at the dozens of Bone Dragon BOSSes flying in the sky and the Undead army surrounding her on the ground, especially those emitting strong auras of Undead BOSSes.
Even as a Holy Knight, she had to recognize the situation and be decisively ruthless if she couldn't go all-out with her firepower in a short time.
Otherwise, she would surely suffer, and being beaten was not fun, seriously damaging her image as a female war goddess.
As for the Contribution Value she lost, thinking about it made Situ Linglong gnash her teeth in frustration.
This loss made her half a year's effort go to waste, potentially delaying her entry into the Sea of Realms by a whole year!
Thinking of this, Situ Linglong wished she could bite Zi Liyuan to death.
[Ding, the challenge match is over, the winner: Zi Liyuan]
[The betting match has ended, and the winner receives the losing gambler's stakes. Those who bet on Zi Liyuan winning receive a stake of 90,000 Contribution Value, sharing a total of 75,166,100 points of Contribution Value.]
[Zi Liyuan bet 10,000 on himself, with a share of 11.1%, earning 8,343,437 points of Contribution Value.]
8.34 million Contribution Value in hand, and that's just from the betting winnings, not to mention the private bets with Situ Linglong and the tens of millions of Contribution Value coming in.
In essence, this battle netted Zi Liyuan a total income of 18.34 million Contribution Value, which is almost more than all the Contribution Value he had earned before combined.
A truly enormous windfall.
Of course, the Contribution Value he actually gained isn't just that, don't forget that among those who bet on his victory were Number Two, Shen Yurou, Wang Fatty, and Senior Cai, all of whom bet on his win.
Each of these four individuals gained 8.34 million, which amounts to 32 million Contribution Value going into their pockets.
Just by following Lord Zi's play, they instantly enjoyed a feast.
"Damn it! The war goddess Situ has lost, is this guy really that terrifying?"
"He's only Third Order Peak, how can he be so powerful?"
"This guy is so fearsome, could it be that we sophomores are really going to become his stepping stones?"
"Why does he have so many mutant abilities?"
"Where did his Bone Dragon BOSS Legion come from? There wasn't any just over ten days ago!"
"Situ Linglong's loss is not unwarranted; the opponent clearly employed an Undead sea tactic, plus their own output depletion, aiming to grind her down."
"It's a pity, if there was enough time to prepare, Situ Linglong could cast a Minor Forbidden Spell, summoning the Holy Angel, there would have been a chance to turn the battle around. Unfortunately, the opponent was no fool and never gave her time to prepare."
Meanwhile, the whole arena buzzed with discussions.
These second-year students were reasonable; as for the outcome of the match, they already knew the result when Lord Zi summoned more than three hundred Bone Dragon BOSS Legion.
