Chapter 403 - 173: Rampage in the Game World! Demigods and Deities All Bite the Dust
All the Heroes of Noxus that Shen Fei detected were bound by vines and dragged toward the Immortal Fortress. The only exceptions were the Sorcery Demoness LeBlanc and the Crimson Reaper Vladimir. When he tried to bind them, the first vine was swiftly severed, forcing Shen Fei to command several control-type Defense Towers to attack them instead. All other Heroes, however, were bound and dragged over by Shen Fei in a single move.
As more than half of the Noxian Heroes were dragged over in a single move and got a clear look at Shen Fei, Commander Swain let out a majestic, furious roar. "Who are you?!"
Unfortunately, before his voice could even fade, a boundless light shot toward them.
PUFF! PUFF!
After two flashes of light, LeBlanc and Vladimir, who stood beside Swain shrouded in a black rose and a crimson mist respectively, were instantly blasted into smithereens.
Swain, who had been roaring in anger just moments ago, was silenced as if a hand had squeezed his throat. He had just witnessed LeBlanc and Vladimir—ancient beings who had lived for thousands of years and vied with him for power—get killed in an instant. He choked, frozen in utter shock.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Behind him, the Heroes of Zu'an were also completely stunned, staring dumbfounded at Shen Fei's actions. They saw that among those bound by the vines were the Commander of Noxus and the Glory Executioner of Noxus, Draven. These high-ranking members of Noxus's elite had been captured and killed by Shen Fei without a single word of interrogation.
Setting aside Shen Fei's motives for a moment, the power he was displaying was enough to leave all the Heroes of Zu'an following him completely stupefied.
Nothing. Time for the next location.
Shen Fei captured the Noxian Heroes and instantly killed LeBlanc and Vladimir, the two with the highest displayed health of over one hundred billion each. He was surprised, however, when no stage completion notification appeared. He realized that LeBlanc and Vladimir, those ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years, were not his targets. They weren't strong enough.
Or rather, their strength didn't meet the threshold of the top-ranked Combat Powers he had to execute.
Ignoring his teammates' shock, Shen Fei prepared to act again. He had just unleashed a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers, instantly killing LeBlanc and Vladimir. He still hadn't tested the upper limits of his Defense Towers' power.
Now, it was time to leave.
He immediately opened a Teleportation Gate leading to the Freljord, farther north. Before leaving, Shen Fei glanced back at the dark, gloomy Immortal Fortress. Knowing what lay within, Shen Fei fired another Cluster Attack, aiming it deep into the fortress's core.
KRAK!
The silent attack pierced straight through the deep, brooding Immortal Fortress, leaving a bottomless hole.
WHOOSH... WHOOSH...
Instantly, a bizarre sound arose where there was no wind.
"It is time to shatter you!"
Along with the bizarre sound, a piercing yet deep cry echoed from the bottomless pit, which led straight to the world beneath the Immortal Fortress.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
Countless rays of black and green light burst forth. Soon, amidst the black and green mist, a towering behemoth completely covered in black Battle Armor emerged.
Cut the act.
Seeing the new creature's health bar—a full twenty trillion—Shen Fei instantly recognized it. This was the Ironclad Soul of the Netherworld, Mordekaiser, from the Netherworld.
Without a second word, Shen Fei fired a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers straight at it.
BOOM!
Under his gaze, a massive damage number appeared.
-19,374,646,382,641
Holy shit! It didn't die?!
Seeing that a single Cluster Attack had only reduced Mordekaiser to a sliver of health but hadn't killed him instantly, Shen Fei was taken aback. He commanded the Defense Towers to fire another volley, instantly killing Mordekaiser. At that moment, Shen Fei's eyes lit up.
Above the head of Mordekaiser, whose health bar had been depleted, a line of text had appeared: [1/10].
It's here! The number of Heroes to be executed in this Game World is ten! Mordekaiser's Combat Power is in the top ten!
The sudden appearance of Mordekaiser finally gave Shen Fei a clear direction. He now knew his targets and saw the conditions for completing the mandatory mission. Most importantly, he saw the level of Combat Power a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers could unleash without applying skills like Ten Thousand Linked Bonds. Not even accounting for things like damage falloff, defense, or resistance, a Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers could deal roughly 19 trillion damage.
FWOOSH! FWOOSH! FWOOSH!
Seeing the [1/10] above Mordekaiser's head, Shen Fei, along with Zhao Li and the others, grew excited. They stepped directly into the Teleportation Gate and quickly departed. Behind them followed the stunned Heroes of Zu'an, who moved like puppets.
At the Immortal Fortress, a heavy silence fell after Shen Fei's departure. No one spoke a word.
Finally, it was Swain, Noxus's strongest leader on the surface, who broke the silence. "Say something!"
As the Commander, Swain naturally understood why Shen Fei hadn't killed him. It was because he was too weak, not even considered worth the effort. He roared with all his might, trying to call forth the Demon lurking within his body—a demon that had pissed itself in fear and gone into hiding the moment Shen Fei killed the others. But alas, its courage was shattered, and it no longer dared to emerge.
"All Noxian forces, pull back! Execute this command immediately! Recall all armies stationed abroad!"
