Chapter 257
The Battle Begins, Land of Glory Title! _3 “Lord, this is called being strong. I feel that in this form, the Lord is full of power!”
Dazhuang, who had just been slapped, looked at him aggrieved, “You’re really good at talking.”
The sisters from the Tree Spirit Clan, along with other subjects, all fixed their gaze on Cao Xing.
At this moment, in his [Demon Transformation] state, Cao Xing unleashed his ultimate skill—Soul Withering!
He slowly raised his slender hands.
Then, centered around him, a black flame suddenly surged up within a 500-meter radius!
Hundreds of Ice Nest Monsters were completely engulfed by this flame!
As Cao Xing clenched his fists,
In the next moment,
The black flame burst into a blazing fury.
“Boom!”
A myriad of dense damage numbers appeared.
[-673]
[-631]
[-712]
[-1214!]
[-621]
[…]
Just the first wave of the flame’s eruption wiped out more than half of the Ice Nest Monsters!
And the [Soul Withering] had four stages of damage.
Boom!
The second wave of damage burst forth.
Before the next two waves could even appear, hundreds of Ice Nest Monsters were instantly annihilated.
The entire battlefield was instantly cleared!
Dozens of territory members watching from the city wall were completely stunned.
“By the Earth Mother Goddess! Is this the Lord’s strength? It’s terrifying!”
“Oh my god, this is the first time I’ve seen the Lord show his power. Now I know how strong he really is!”
Beside them, Dazhuang excitedly said, “You’re right; this form of the Lord is full of power!”
Undoubtedly, Cao Xing’s explosive tactics were visually stunning.
Instantly wiping out hundreds of Ice Nest Monsters, something even the third-tier leader-level Sarah couldn’t achieve.
At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly heard a series of system prompts.
[Due to showing your great strength, your territory member: Du An admired your power, increasing Loyalty. Current Loyalty: 85.]
[Due to showing your great strength, your territory member: Blitz admired your power, increasing Loyalty. Current Loyalty: 92.]
[Due to…]
After hundreds of prompts, almost all the subjects’ Loyalty increased again.
Even the newly joined Harold and Giant Puntana’s Loyalty rose above 70!
Not only that,
Cao Xing heard another system prompt.
[For being the first on all servers to have 100 subjects with Loyalty over 80! Your territory has received a special title: Land of Glory.]
[Land of Glory: A territory full of glory. When you fight to defend the territory, all combat personnel will have significantly increased morale and a 50% increase in Critical Strike Rate!]
(Title Description: While having a powerful and loyal group is important, the power possessed by the Lord is even more admirable to the subjects.)
…
Cao Xing was thrilled, “Wow, Land of Glory? 50% increase in Critical Strike Rate?”
“This is so awesome!”
You know, Blot’s Resonance Totem already added a 20% Critical Strike Rate, and now there’s an extra 50%!
This meant Cao Xing and the others had a high chance of delivering a critical hit (critical damage being 150%) with every attack, greatly increasing damage!
At the same time, Cao Xing couldn’t help but feel even more pleased.
Surely, showing these subjects his mighty power did no harm.
This time, he gained another powerful title.
The only pity was that this effect only kicked in during territory defense.
In other words, it only activated during other forces’ attacks on the territory.
Meanwhile,
Sarah and Hilda dealt with the approaching Ice Nest Monsters around Cao Xing.
Cao Xing glanced over and then ordered, “Sarah, I can handle this here; go support Assam.”
“Hilda, go support Renice.”
Hilda scoffed, “Tch! If I had my original strength, it wouldn’t matter how many of these weaklings came—they’d just die!”
Cao Xing replied helplessly, “Alright, I know you were strong before. Go get to work.”
Hilda moved her eight long legs swiftly across the snow.
Cao Xing remained in place, dealing with the Ice Nest Monsters in this area.
With the powerful knight Liu Muxue protecting him, he didn’t have to worry about being attacked.
He just needed to keep throwing the Evil Thought Fire to bombard those Ice Nest Monsters.
After all, he could now indefinitely enter the Demon Transformation State.
Boom! Boom Boom!
The Evil Thought Fire continuously exploded!
[-973!]
[-1031!]
[-652]
[-984!]
One terrifying damage number after another floated up.
A 50% increase in Critical Strike Rate was insane!
Groups of Ice Nest Monsters were instantly killed by him.
A cruel smile played on Cao Xing’s face.
This feeling of invincibility was incredibly satisfying!
With just him and Liu Muxue, they could guard one position.
And five minutes later,
Cao Xing suddenly felt a wave of dizziness in his mind.
He held his head and quickly suppressed the smile on his face.
“Damn…though the Demon Transformation State is strong, the consumption of spiritual power is even more terrifying.”
“This is just five minutes in, and I already feel my spiritual power is almost exhausted.”
He glanced at the Moon Condensing Flower Dew in his backpack.
Only six drops remained.
Then Cao Xing took out the Moon Condensing Flower Dew and drank a drop.
A refreshing sensation rushed to his head, making him feel invigorated again.
In the next instant, Cao Xing raised his hands, again flinging out the Evil Thought Fire.
Boom! Boom Boom!
Cao Xing stood there, transformed into a humanoid bomber!
Half an hour later,
A white light appeared on Cao Xing again.
[Your Level has increased; current Level: 17.]
[Attributes gained from this upgrade: Power +3, Agility +2, Spirit +6, Constitution +4.]
“Wuhu, awesome!”
