Chapter 247 Trap and Crushing
However, when the demon officer's gaze passed over Lin Tian and finally settled on Celia behind him, his cold, scarlet pupils suddenly contracted, and then burst forth with an uncontrollable, fanatical light that was a mixture of shock, ecstasy, and absolute obedience!
"Target confirmed! It's the defector, Celia Moriarty!" The officer's voice was hoarse and resonant, like the scraping of metal. He abruptly raised his runic greatsword, its blade pointed directly at Celia, and roared in attack, "For the glory of Lord Kael'thas! Take her! Kill her without mercy!"
"roar!"
The elite demon squad behind him echoed in unison, their voices reverberating within the narrow pass, causing pebbles to fall from the rock walls.
They instantly formed a tight attack formation, with the front row raising shields and the back row blazing with longswords and ghostly flames. The dense abyssal battle aura merged into a black wave of death, surging towards Lin Tian and Celia!
Their target was crystal clear; all their killing intent was locked onto Celia, and they seemed to intend to crush Lin Tian, who was blocking their way, in the most brutal way possible!
"Hmph, it seems my dear uncle really misses me." Celia's golden eyes flashed with a cold light, but a mocking smile curled at the corner of her mouth. She took a step forward, and shadow energy gathered at her fingertips, preparing to fight.
However, Lin Tian was faster than her.
Without even taking out the Star Devouring Staff, facing this elite squad with an average level of around 45, led by a level 50 lord officer, Lin Tian simply raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and gently clenched them towards the surging black wave.
[Law Imprisonment]!
Om-!
Four dark golden chains, formed from the pure power of laws, appeared out of thin air around the charging demon officer, coiling around him like living venomous snakes! Runes flowed across the chains, radiating an overwhelming power that suppressed everything!
The demon officer's momentum came to an abrupt halt, his fanatical smile froze, and turned into utter horror!
He frantically channeled the abyssal battle energy within his body, attempting to break free. The eerie green flames even scorched his bone armor red-hot, but before the chains of law, all his struggles were like an ant trying to shake a tree, laughable and futile. He was firmly fixed in place, unable to move even a finger!
"My lord!" Upon seeing this, the demon soldiers behind him roared in alarm and anger, and their charging formation became slightly chaotic, but they still charged forward fearlessly.
Lin Tian's eyes were indifferent, and he did not retract his outstretched fingers, but merely twisted his wrist very slightly.
Arcane Explosion!
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a muffled rumble that seemed to originate from within the world itself.
Centered on the front of his palm, a destructive purple arcane energy erupted like an invisible tsunami, sweeping across the entire narrow passage!
......
A staggering amount of damage numbers erupted from the heads of every demon soldier like a fountain!
With Lin Tian's terrifying Intelligence attribute of 75, this SS-grade area-of-effect skill has demonstrated destructive power comparable to a forbidden spell!
Those well-equipped and highly trained elite demon soldiers didn't even have time to utter a scream. In this pure arcane torrent, they were instantly vaporized and decomposed like ice and snow thrown into a furnace, their bodies and armor turning into the finest particles and dissipating into the air.
Only a few pieces of slightly higher-quality equipment and some materials clattered to the ground, proving that they had once existed.
The area within the pass was completely empty.
Only the demon officer, bound by the [Law Imprisonment], remained frozen in place.
He watched helplessly as his most elite soldiers vanished in an instant, his once fanatical gaze now replaced by boundless fear and disbelief. He couldn't comprehend what level of power this was.
Is this really a power that an adventurer could possess?
Lin Tian slowly lowered his hand, walked to the imprisoned officer, and looked at him calmly.
Celia followed, coldly staring at the officer who had just been shouting that he would kill without mercy.
"Where is Kael'thas?" Lin Tian asked, his voice not loud, but carrying a sense of oppression that went straight to the soul.
The demon officer trembled violently, but the obsession in his eyes, born from his fanatical worship of Kael'thas, kept him from collapsing immediately.
He stared intently at Celia, then looked at Lin Tian, letting out a hoarse, bellows-like laugh.
"Hahaha...you...can't escape..." The officer's voice was distorted with fear and confinement. "Lord Kael'thas...has already laid a trap...this...is your burial ground!"
With his last ounce of strength, he let out a heart-wrenching roar, filled with fanatical faith:
"For Lord Kael'thas—!!!"
The roar echoed within the pass, filled with a desperate yet tragic grandeur.
Lin Tian frowned slightly and asked no further questions. He pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched the officer's forehead.
At the fingertip, a wisp of starlight, condensed to its fullest extent, flashed and disappeared.
[Astral Rays]!
laugh!
An even more exaggerated damage number appeared, and the demon officer's head was instantly pierced and annihilated as if hit by a high-temperature laser, along with his powerful life force completely dissipated.
The headless corpse collapsed limply to the ground after the chains of law disappeared.
The battle ended so quickly, lasting only a dozen seconds from start to finish.
A high-level elite demon squad, capable of crushing an ordinary player army on the front lines, along with its lord-level officers, vanished without a trace with a mere gesture from Lin Tian.
Celia looked at the officer's corpse on the ground, her expression grim.
"His eyes before he died... and those words. Brother Tian, we've probably stepped right into the heart of Kael'thas's meticulously woven web. He knew we were coming from the very beginning, and perhaps... he's been guiding us all along."
Lin Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick fog behind the pass and seeing the shadow hidden in the darkest part of the abyss.
The officer's fanatical gaze and screams before his death undoubtedly confirmed this.
This was not a chance encounter; it was a pre-arranged "welcome ceremony."
"The Net?" Lin Tian repeated softly, a cold and arrogant smile slowly curving his lips. "So what?"
He lifted his foot, stepped over the corpse of the demon officer, and continued walking forward without hesitation.
"In the face of absolute power, even the most intricate net is nothing more than a fragile spider's web."
His calm words echoed in the deathly silence of the pass, carrying unparalleled confidence, declaring his most direct and forceful response to this premeditated trap.
Go ahead to dangers.
Because he himself is the mighty giant who can subdue dragons and tigers!
Kael'thas's web could not contain the powerful one destined to tear it all apart.
