Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1908: Final novice battlefield

The sudden loss of the light threads and light pillars created gaps in the defense line.

Because of the Su Clan members’ warning, the defenders were prepared, but facing seemingly endless opponents, they still had to retreat rapidly without the help of the energy array. Otherwise, they would be overwhelmed and never reappear.

Several screams were heard. He’s face darkened. Another Novice had died, and several others were injured. Even the water chains from her and her clansmen could not provide complete protection.

Their numbers were already small, and having temporarily lost their reliance, during the retreat, the attackers knew this was an opportunity.

Many instinctively accelerated their attack pace, wanting to capitalize on the momentum to penetrate the core of the energy array. At the very least, they aimed to inflict heavy casualties on the defenders to lay the foundation for victory.

It was now just past fifteen minutes. Judging by the situation, the battle would probably end in about twenty minutes. This basically matched the estimated time.

“Advance!”

At this moment, Jie Su suddenly shouted. All the defenders in combat changed their positions.

It was so decisive that it seemed like they were giving up.

Then, just as the attackers were puzzled, streams of light slashes shot out from the Sihai Light Array, instantly sweeping across the entire hillside.

Countless lives fell in rows. The previously intense battle actually came to a halt because of this.

The survivors retreated in panic, their faces filled with terror.

Just now, too many people on their side had died.

Previously, about ten mature warriors had died, and less than a hundred Novice warriors had fallen. They had already thought that was the limit. Given the comparison of strength between the two sides, the attacked target had already performed exceptionally well with the help of the energy array! They would just accept some more deaths when finally dealing with troublesome people like White Robe and Jie Su.

But those light slashes just now were too sudden and too powerful. In that instant, at least over a hundred mature warriors and six hundred Novices were cut in two!

Now, those races with strong vitality were still twitching and struggling within the array, praying for a miracle in their last moments so they could survive.

But soon, they quietly passed away, adding another bloody medal to the name of the Sihai Light Array.

The attackers, who originally numbered around 1,300, now only numbered over 700. Casualties were nearly half.

This scene not only frightened the attackers but also caused the lives watching this battle from countless light screens to fall silent or exclaim in surprise.

Did the Sihai Light Array already have such power? It seemed the Su Clan had improved it in recent years.

Also, since the Sihai Light Array was improved, what about those other arrays?

The Su Clan seemed to have made significant progress.

The battle temporarily ceased. Both sides seemed to return to their initial state, but with several tens of minutes left until the end of the Novice battlefield, both sides knew the battle would continue.

“The damage level has already exceeded eighty percent. The final strike can no longer be launched.”

Jie Su’s voice was not loud, just enough for all the defenders to hear.

Most people were unaware of the final strike of the Sihai Light Array, but they knew it must be incredibly powerful. If it could be launched, they might truly achieve victory.

Just look at those rows of light slashes from before.

What a pity.

“But it still has a final function,” Jie Su said. “I will slightly alter the array’s pathways, changing it from internal attack to internal defense. Its remaining energy will become a buff applied to everyone, increasing defense somewhat and attack slightly.”

Jie Su clenched his fist, his expression calm but his heart unwilling.

There were too many people attacking the Sihai Light Array. So many that the rampant energy was constantly destroying the array’s foundation. Even though the core remained, the damage level soared uncontrollably.

To the point that the final and most powerful attack could not be launched.

Jie Su knew he couldn’t blame himself for this, but he still felt a deep-seated guilt. If his strength were higher, even if the array’s integrity could be maintained at around thirty percent, he would have ways to make more effective attacks.

“Everyone… fight.”

As Jie Su spoke, the Sihai Light Array suddenly burst out with a dazzling light. The attackers instinctively retreated again. But when the light dissipated, they found that all the patterns of the Sihai Light Array engraved on the hillside ground had disappeared. Now, only the thickest light pillar in the center of the array remained standing. From it, some faint, barely visible beams of light fell upon the defenders, though their use was unknown.

But one thing they knew: that energy array, which had just launched a terrifying attack, probably wasn’t of much use anymore.

Led by the remaining over a hundred mature warriors, the Novices relaunched their attack.

Because their manpower was truly limited, the defense on the hillside could only form a triangular formation. Jie Su and his clansmen were responsible for one area, Robe Bai led the Novices in charge of another, and Yisewei with her two guards took care of the remaining area.

He and her three clansmen were located behind everyone, applying water chains to their companions. As for the injured and Ye Zhongming, and the others, they were protected in the center.

Jie Su’s weapon was strange: metal gauntlets with four short daggers attached. It was unknown what metal they were made of. The short daggers floated on either side of his arms and would move along with the gauntlets.

His two clansmen had the same weapon: a metal rod that, at first glance, seemed simple, but upon closer inspection, was found to be full of intricate mechanisms and patterns.

“The future array master will die here today.” A huge lifeform, like a small hill, stood before Jie Su with his people. When his four-petaled mouth spoke, it revealed gums and teeth also divided into four parts. Combined with his blue, hairy skin, he looked ferocious, terrifying, and disgusting.

“An incompletely evolved thing.” A gleam flashed in Jie Su’s eyes, and his fighting spirit surged.

Every race had hostile forces. The one before Jie Su was the Heriber Star people, who had an extremely bad relationship with the Su Clan. In the Su Clan’s view, they were equivalent to beasts.

But beneath the ugly appearance of these lives lay powerful bodies, excellent combat talent, and an ability to nurture equipment using their own energy and essence blood.

Every Heriber Star person would start nurturing equipment from birth. This equipment would accompany them for life. Their method of assessing talent was to see the number of equipment each clansman could nurture. After all, nurturing consumed their own selves; once it exceeded the limit, they would die.

The person before Jie Su now was named Wolim, one of the princes of the Heriber Star people. The number of seven nurtured equipment also made him a potential strong contender for the position of Great Chieftain in the future.

He and Jie Su had clashed before, so this was a meeting of enemies.

“Talking is useless. Come on!”

As he spoke, Wolim reached behind his back and grabbed a bundle of short spears!
