Chapter 260 Fierce Battle
Silence fell once more between the thrones, broken only by the soft tapping of Kael'thas's fingers on the armrests and the rumble of energy from the distant battlefield emanating from the magical mirror, setting the stage for the conspiracy he believed to be in his grasp.
……
Outside the city, fierce fighting rages on.
Lin Tian fought four opponents alone, relying on the power of the [Star Devouring Staff] and the skillful combination of various high-level skills. Although the situation was thrilling, he remained undefeated. His magical power was like a bottomless ocean, supporting this high-intensity consumption.
The repulsive field of Shinra Tensei erupted once again, forcibly pushing Gruul, who was charging forward fearlessly, back several steps. The huge Executioner's Blade struck the invisible force field, bursting out a series of dazzling sparks.
Almost the instant Gruul was pushed away, Shahras appeared out of Lin Tian's blind spot like a leech, her poisoned blades gleaming with a chilling light, aiming straight for his back and neck!
"Ding! Ding!"
Two crisp ringing sounds! At the critical moment, Celia's [Shadow Thorn] pierced through the ground, like a tenacious vine, and precisely wrapped around Shahras's wrist. Although it was instantly broken by her powerful strength, it bought Lin Tian precious reaction time.
Lin Tian didn't even turn his head. He activated the [Blink] skill, and his figure appeared on the other side. At the same time, he pointed his staff backward—
Arcane Explosion!
A violent burst of purple energy exploded in front of Shahras, forcing her to abandon the pursuit, and her figure once again disappeared into the shadows.
"Damn flies!" Gruul steadied himself, cursed, and pounced again.
Sasorvar's Shadow Bolts rained down from afar, blocking Lin Tian's movement. Mal'Ganis's Curse, like an invisible spiderweb, relentlessly tried to entangle him, weakening his attributes and resistances.
The battle devolved into an extremely difficult stalemate. Although Lin Tian was barely holding on, the four Abyss Generals were becoming increasingly coordinated, putting more and more pressure on him.
Celia tried her best to assist, restraining Sahras and dispelling part of the curse, but her strength was ultimately inferior to that of these veteran lords, and she seemed somewhat powerless.
After a fierce clash of skills, Lin Tian used the aftershocks of the explosion to temporarily create distance, his breathing slightly disordered.
The continuous high-intensity spellcasting and mental concentration were also a considerable burden for him.
Celia seized the opportunity to approach, her face showing barely concealed anxiety and worry, and said in a hurried voice:
"Brother Tian! This won't do! Their teamwork is getting better and better, and their magic seems inexhaustible! This is their home turf, we can't afford to waste this! We have to find a way to break through!"
Her gaze involuntarily drifted to the Dark Erosion City shrouded in the [Wall of a Thousand Souls] in the distance, her eyes filled with deep apprehension.
Kael'thas has yet to appear, which in itself is the biggest pressure.
Lin Tian's gaze swept over the four generals who were approaching again, his eyes sharp as knives.
He was well aware of the gravity of the situation. But he also knew that under such a level of siege, a hasty breakout would only expose greater vulnerabilities.
The castle's defenses were by no means easily breached.
"Wait a little longer." Lin Tian's voice was deep, carrying an undeniable calmness.
"They are wearing us down, and we are waiting for an opportunity." He was waiting for a chance to severely injure or even kill one or two of their generals and break the deadlock completely.
Just then, Mal'Ganis, who had been wandering in spirit form and mainly casting curses, seemed to have caught a glimpse of Lin Tian's momentary instability in aura.
Its ethereal spirit suddenly solidified, its eyes, burning with a ghastly green ghostly flame, fixed intently on Lin Tian, and a curse power far colder and more malevolent than before began to gather frantically—
It is preparing to unleash a single-target ultimate curse that requires a long chant but has an extremely terrifying effect!
Sasovar and Gruul understood each other perfectly and immediately intensified their offensive, keeping Lin Tian tightly occupied and not giving him a chance to interfere with Malganis.
Shahras also moved around like a ghost, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.
An opportunity! A glint flashed in Lin Tian's eyes!
In order to unleash this ultimate move, Mal'Ganis solidified his spirit form, almost sacrificing most of his movement and evasion abilities! This was undoubtedly a huge opening!
But this is also a trap!
Sasovar and Gruul's relentless attacks were designed to prevent him from interrupting Mal'Ganis in time, or to inflict a heavy blow on him when he tried to do so!
"Celia! Ready!"
At the same time, the dark core at the top of the [Star Devouring Staff] in his hand began to spin at an unprecedented speed, and vast star power and arcane energy began to be poured in frantically!
He decided to take a gamble! He withstood some of Sasorvar and Gruul's attacks, forcibly interrupting and even counter-killing Mal'Ganis!
However, at this crucial moment that would decide the outcome, another unexpected change occurred!
A terrifying shriek, sharper than any other and seemingly capable of tearing apart the soul, came without warning from the direction of Dark Eclipse City!
This shriek is not a physical sound wave, but rather it acts directly on the mental level!
"Well!"
Just as Lin Tian was preparing to unleash his full power in casting a spell, he was suddenly struck by this soul shriek. Although he managed to withstand it thanks to his powerful mental attributes and did not fall into a state of dizziness, his spellcasting rhythm inevitably experienced a very slight stagnation!
The energy flow of the devastating skill, which was about to be completed and was about to be unleashed on Mal'Ganis, paused for a moment!
Celia, who was already slightly weaker, let out a painful groan, her face turned deathly pale, and she swayed, almost falling from mid-air. Her support and protection for Lin Tian was instantly interrupted!
It's just that insignificant moment!
"Now! Souls wither!" Mal'Ganis's long-awaited ultimate curse was finally complete!
A gray beam of light, exuding a dense aura of death, seemed to pierce through the void, ignoring distance, and instantly struck Lin Tian, who had a brief opening due to the disruption of his spellcasting rhythm!
Lin Tian felt a cold, lifeless power instantly invade his body, frantically devouring his life force and mana. All his attributes began to decline visibly, and even his thinking seemed to become sluggish!
"Die, humans!" Gruul and Sasovall were not about to let this golden opportunity slip by.
Gruul's Rockbreaker carried the force of creation, while Sasova's Shadow Nova, like ripples of death, simultaneously struck Lin Tian, whose attributes were weakened and whose movements were restricted, from two directions!
Shahras's poisoned blade, like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, pierced Lin Tian's vital points from the shadows!
The situation took an instant turn for the worse, and it was on the verge of collapse!
Between the thrones, Kael'thas watched as Lin Tian was struck by the curse and plunged into a desperate situation in the magical mirror, a cruel and satisfied smile spreading across his face.
"See? This is what happens when you fight against the abyss. The game... should end now."
