Age of Adepts

Chapter 1524 - You Die and I Live

The balance of the battlefield was shattered when Antuso and the astral constructs freed their hands and began to clear the battlefield!

As if on a snowball, the advantage on Hall's side became smaller and smaller, while the victory on Grim's side became more and more apparent.

When the battle came to an end, it became Grim, Antuso, and Rossilini leading the giant devouring beetles, astral constructs, ten-armed giants, Remy, Earth Crusher, and other puppets or witch beasts to the death to annihilate that Hall himself and the Myro billet.

And the two guys seemed to realize the danger, abandoning their unrealistic Valley of Victory yawning hopes and beginning to break out to the rear.

By this time, however, the three Grim had a serious disagreement over the choice of target creatures.

Antuso and Rossilini were all for targeting the attack on that Myro billet. It was only a billet of that ogre god Myro, with limited combat power, and there was not half a problem in gathering the three of them to leave it behind.

With a bit of luck, maybe all three of them could acquire a Divine Grid Fragment!

But Grim was determined to leave that Hall's original body behind.

Of course, as a hunting god who had fallen from the 6th to the 5th level, there must be far more fragments of the Divine Grid in Hall's original body than that Myro bilocation. Even at a preliminary estimate, the value of the divine Grid was over 15 points.

If they could leave it behind, the three of them would probably wake up laughing in their sleep.

However, leaving it behind would undoubtedly be the most difficult as well, and the probability of failure was over 70%!

This was still a probability that Grim possessed the bloodline of the Devouring Demon Fish and was able to leave his enemies behind. Otherwise, there wasn't even a 10% chance.

The Wizards had been at war with the Orc God line for hundreds of years, and so far there had never been an instance where an Orc God had directly fallen. Even the most unlucky one, the god of hatred, Ernus, whose divine kingdom had been blown up by the witches, had managed to roll away most of his divinity and divinity in his original form and run away to other orc gods to become a demigod.

This also shows how powerful a true god's ability to survive above the battlefield is!

Thus, rashly targeting Hall himself as a hunting target would most likely leave the three witches with nothing in the end.

The quarrels and disagreements of the three of them ricocheted inside the mental channel.

Although the mental connection was swift and invisible, with almost no time interval between them, the two deities' escape was also so swift that it was impossible to leave enough time for them to argue or convince each other.

Thus, the three-man witch squad split!

Antuso and Rossilini chose the Myro billet.

They were confident that they could defeat that Myro bilocation in Grim's absence, but it was unknown how many shards of the Divine Grid and Divinity could be intercepted from its body.

Grim, on the other hand, had bitten the bullet and chosen that Hall's original body.

He had already used up the Hall itself's divine shield and other universal divine arts, and had tasted the other's three artifact powers. And he was still clasping in his hand the Berserker Flame Blast within the Fire God Pearl and the Berserk Pupil in his right eye without power.

If it was coupled with the Demon Fish Transformation, there was still some chance of leaving Hall's original body behind. It was just that the price Grim would need to pay for this was probably so large that he couldn't even imagine it.

But Grim was also a risk-taking guy, and since there was a chance to get more with less, he was unwilling to give it up easily. After all, the other party had a double-digit number of divine fragments, a huge amount of divinity, and three divine artifacts in his body....

This store is worth the blog!

Since he had made up his mind, Grim no longer hesitated and instantly exploded with all his might.

In the midst of an out-of-boundary void, he and that Hall sparred in a blood bath.

And gathered around them were the Ten-Armed Giant, Remy, and that Earth Crusher.

The Ten-Armed Giant abandoned all defenses, and its ten arms kept swinging rapidly, throwing a grey stone spear at Hall's side. Its attack was no longer intended to injure Hall's divine body, but to block the other party's possible retreat and evasion routes, giving the fighting Grim an opportunity to fight.

The Earth Crusher was already in tatters, and in normal times, Grim would have put it away to avoid irreparable trauma. But now, Grim couldn't wait for Hall to attack it a few more times.

This way, he would also be able to inflict more and more terrifying damage on Hall himself!

Furthermore, the Earth Crusher's own hysteresis aura could also slow down Hall's movement speed. Although the effect wasn't too significant, any bit of power waning at this critical moment was invaluable.

For his part, the poisonous Remy gave up on the attack, spewing plague poison without stopping, eating away at Hall's divine body. If one layer of toxin wasn't enough, two layers would be used, if two layers of toxin weren't enough, three layers would be used... In short, the layers of plague toxins stacked up had already infested Hall's body into a hulk.

Although the damage brought by the toxins was still limited, they had effectively destroyed the defenses of Hall's divine body.

With the aid of the three of them, the imposing Grim also returned Hall's bows and arrows with flying flames in the sky. Only a lot of the time, he had to use his flame splitters to share the damage for himself.

Otherwise, if his own vitality was too low, he could easily trigger the decapitation effect in Hall's bow!

But then, the three differentiated flames were unlucky, and died with a succession of screams. The reason for their deaths were all the same: they triggered the decapitation effect in the arrows.

The damage brought to them by the arrows entering their bodies was huge, but not yet fatal. However, once the decapitation effect attached to the arrows was triggered, a golden battle blade would inexplicably appear over their skulls and then silently slash down.

Decapitation, when the target creature's life force is less than 1/5 of the total, directly decapitates its soul.

This was a very overbearing and barbaric divine rule, but once it appeared, there was no other way to save one's life other than to fight hard with the strong tenacity of one's soul.

The three flame splitters only had a trace of Grim's spiritual consciousness in their bodies, and their soul toughness was obviously not enough to resist the zapping feature. So at the same time of the hit, the flame billet burst on the spot and re-scattered into disorderly flames.

The three flame billet deaths meant that three fatal attacks had been blocked for Grim. And he also took this opportunity to use his violent and unparalleled flame sorcery to create flame damage for Hall that was far beyond the limits of normal people's imagination.

Both sides' vitality was in rapid flight....

Only Hall had the Higher Restoration Technique, and whenever this Healing Divine Art had finished cooling down, he couldn't wait to perform it on himself. With the support of a massive amount of divine power, the damage on his body surface was rapidly recovering under the raging glow of divine power.

If it wasn't for Grim's particularly outstanding ability to create damage, I'm afraid that at this moment, Hall would have been alive and strong as ever again.

This... was actually one of the toughest aspects of the deity itself!

With the kingdom of God and thousands of believers behind them, a deity has an endless amount of divine power to spend at will. The consuming Higher Restoration Technique was good enough for an ordinary 5th rank deity to perform once a day, while he could perform it three times.

This meant that if Hall's enemies wanted to kill him, they would need to painstakingly wear down his life force three times before he had a chance to finally build up his power.

Grim was still communicating with Chip in his head as he fought.

"Chip, when the hell am I going to be able to turn into a magic fish and swallow him up?"

"Drops, the target creature is a retired Hunting God itself with >15 points of divinity... In this case, the chance of the subject rashly transforming into a Demon Fish and devouring it, killing the opponent is no more than 6%..."

"Instead, the subject has an 88% chance of being killed back by it taking advantage of the situation..."

"What am I supposed to do?"

"Try to wear down the life force of the target creature..."

"When the target's internal life force drops to 80%, the success rate of devouring increases by 7%..."

"When the target's internal life force drops to 60%, the success rate of devouring increases by 11%..."

"When the target's internal life force drops to 40%, the success rate of devouring increases by 19%..."

"When the target's internal life force drops to 20%, the success rate of devouring increases by 28%..."

"When the target's internal life force drops to 10%, the success rate of devouring increases by 47%..."

Sheesh....

Grim couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Even if it reached its optimal state and hit Hall's vitality to 10%, the probability of Grim transforming into a Demon Fish and devouring it successfully was only 53%.

It was more than half.

This was like fighting for your life!

After all, Hall was a deity that had been knocked down from the 6th rank by the witches, and could not be compared to a normal 5th rank deity. It was reasonable to have such an outcome.

However, it was clearly not enough to satisfy Grim.

He growled loudly.

"What if I hit it at 1% of its life force?"

"Devouring success rate increased by 77%..."

"Bo! I'll bet this pavilion with him!"

At this moment, it seemed that some deities over the main battlefield had also received Hall's message for help.

Two rank 5 deity bilocations and five orc prayer mergers rushed out from the main battlefield and rushed towards this void at high speed.

"Ten-armed Giants, Remy, block them! Leave this Hall to me!"

At Grim's drink, the ten-armed giant and Remy disengaged from the battlefield and rushed up against the distant enemy. On this side of the Void Battlefield, only Grim, Hall and Earth Crusher remained.

The other summoned creatures had all died in battle one after another!

"Kill!"

"Go to hell!"

Hall seemed to be aware of the danger that was coming, and he and Grim simultaneously stormed out, sending the swiftest attacks at each other.

And the moment it shifted its attention to Grim, the overlooked Earth Crusher did not hesitate to self-destruct.

Yes, self-destructed!

A 5th rank beginner, an Earth Crusher that had just entered the stage of war for the first time had ended its life in a hurry.

And its self-destruct had a huge impact on that God of the Hunt.

While the other party's hands were busy, Grim here also launched in sync.

Raging Flame Blitz!

Berserk Eyes!

Flame refraction!

Three Level 5 Flame Sorceries plus the self-destruct of a Level 5 Magic Puppet, such power was beyond even the Killing God's own body.

Under the chip's full penetration, Hall's vitality dropped almost straight down, rapidly dropping from 67% to 11%.

11%...the success rate of devouring was just a little over 50%.

Grim's cards were exhausted, and the damage inflicted on the opponent clearly wasn't enough!

Grim bellowed once more, his entire body raging flames rose high, and he closed in on it.

Trading his own life for the other's....

As Hall struggled and attacked Grim as hard as he could, his life force began to drop wildly again.

9%... 7%... 4%... 2%... 1%... ...

Grim had never felt time so long and torturous, and he abandoned all his defenses and devoted himself to wearing down Hall with his life.

When the chip suggested that Hall's life was fixed at 1%, Grim finally roared and transformed into a Devouring Devilfish, swallowing it whole in one bite....
