?The citizens below, though disheartened by the visible cracks in the array, found inspiration in Wei Lin's unwavering determination. Little did they know that this apparent struggle concealed Wei Lin's true intention—a strategic ploy to lull Cryonex into a false sense of security.
As the Frozen Eclipse continued to assault the array, Wei Lin patiently awaited the opportune moment to unleash the hidden formation. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
The Frozen Eclipse, a malevolent surge of icy darkness and shadowy energy, collided with the harmonized array. The night sky trembled as Cryonex's 80% strength attack wreaked havoc, causing audible cracks to echo through the celestial expanse. The citizens, witnessing the assault, held their breaths as the once-resilient defense showed visible signs of fracturing.
Within the array, Wei Lin skillfully projected an illusion of struggle. His feigned desperation, hands trembling and brows furrowed, intensified the collective concern of the onlookers below. Cryonex, basking in the apparent success of his attack, taunted the array master.
"Human, this is the best you can do? Your precious array is breaking before my might. Accept your defeat!" Cryonex's voice resonated with mocking triumph.
Wei Lin, maintaining his act, responded with a semblance of desperation. "I underestimated your strength. But I won't let this city fall. I will fight until my last breath."
The citizens, though disheartened by the visible cracks in the array, found inspiration in Wei Lin's unwavering determination. Little did they know that this apparent struggle concealed Wei Lin's true intention—a strategic ploy to lull Cryonex into a false sense of security.
As the Frozen Eclipse continued its relentless assault on the array, Cryonex, convinced of his imminent victory, decided to close in on Wei Lin. With a smug face, the demonic commander flew closer, confident that the array was on the brink of collapse.
In that crucial moment, when Cryonex believed the array was defenseless, Wei Lin seized the opportunity. With a swift and precise motion, he activated the hidden formation acquired from the ancient texts in the hidden caves—an array specifically designed to counter demons.
Wei Lin, now outside the safety of the array, struggled to regain his composure. The unexpected collaboration between Xal'Thar and Vexoria against the Demonbane Chains took him by surprise. Exhausted and battered, he watched as the demonic duo intensified their assault, the luminous chains quivering under the onslaught.
Cryonex, though still ensnared by the ethereal shackles, seized the opportunity. Despite the pain that coursed through his demonic form, a malicious grin formed on his lips. "You think these chains can bind me forever, human? You underestimate the resilience of a demon."
The Demonbane Chains, straining under the pressure of the demonic onslaught, emitted a faint glow that hinted at their impending limits. The citizens, their hopes momentarily rekindled by the array's success, now faced the harsh reality of its vulnerability.
As the demonic forces closed in on the weakened Demonbane Chains, Wei Lin, though battered and fatigued, mustered the strength to speak. "Even if you break the array, you demons won't escape the consequences of your actions."
"Human," Cryonex growled, his voice strained with the agony of his predicament. "I will make you suffer for this."
Yet, before Cryonex could carry out his threat, Xal'Thar intervened. The demonic figure, shadows clinging to his form like a second skin, approached Cryonex with an air of authority. "Human, where did you learn that array? I'm sure that array specifically targets our demon race."
Vexoria, his chaotic energy pulsating, echoed Xal'Thar's inquiry with a menacing tone. "You should answer us truthfully. I promise you a quick death. Because if Cryonex gets a hold of you..."
Xei Lin, though exhausted and coughing blood from the backlash, interrupted their threats with a defiant laugh. "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to get those books... Because those books already disappeared."
Cryonex, consumed by pain and anger, couldn't suppress the urge any longer. With a primal roar, he lunged towards Wei Lin, his claws poised to strike. The citizens, their hopes hanging by a thread, watched in dread as the demonic commander closed in on the battered array master.
"Since you don't want to tell us, then die!" Cryonex's voice reverberated with unbridled fury.
However, before Cryonex could reach Wei Lin, a resounding sword slash cleaved through the air, intercepting the demonic commander's path. The sword, emanating a radiant energy, stopped Cryonex in his tracks. The citizens, momentarily frozen with fear, now witnessed a mysterious figure stepping forward
—a figure clad in ethereal armor with a sword that seemed to defy the laws of reality.
