Chapter 620: Reinforcement
That enormous crimson hand that blotted out the sky still clutched tightly onto the black streak of light stretching across the heavens. Blood continuously evaporated, only to condense once more.
Every single drop seemed to burn with Sarah’s life essence, staining the entire sky a blinding crimson, while the nuclear weapon, which continued struggling to correct its flight path, finally began to drift away with a clearly visible deviation.
“AHHH—!!”
Sarah slowly opened her eyes. Her crimson pupils were already bloodshot. The fair complexion she once possessed rapidly faded away, as though she had aged decades within the span of only a few dozen seconds. Yet the right hand she held aloft toward the skies did not tremble in the slightest. Instead, accompanied by a low shout, she swung it fiercely to the side once more.
BOOM—!!
The entire Blood construct erupted completely.
Endless blood surged together, transforming into tens of thousands of crimson chains that wrapped themselves around the black streak of light all at once. It was as though countless gigantic hands were exerting their strength together, forcibly pushing its originally straight descent little by little away from New Dawn Camp.
At this moment, time itself seemed to freeze.
Everyone held their breath.
Whether it was the crowds desperately fleeing within New Dawn Camp or every officer on the Edgeburn side, everyone’s eyes were locked firmly upon the sky.
The next instant, that black streak of light finally broke free from its original flight trajectory.
“No—!”
Everest’s pupils suddenly contracted.
RUMBLEEEEE—!!
Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, a blinding light, so brilliant that no one could look at it directly, suddenly bloomed thousands of meters high in the sky. Immediately afterward, a destructive shockwave swept across every direction. The thick clouds were torn apart in an instant, the sky within dozens of miles trembled violently, and that dazzling radiance transformed into a blazing sun hanging high above the sky, illuminating the entire world as brightly as broad daylight.
Violent winds swept across the battlefield.
Countless trees were uprooted. Large numbers of mechanical wrecks were hurled hundreds of meters away.
Even though the explosion had occurred high in the sky, that soul-shaking wave of destruction still caused countless players’ legs to go weak, many collapsing directly onto the ground.
The entire world seemed to fall silent for a single moment.
Then a deafening eruption of cheers exploded.
“We stopped it!!”
“We did it!!”
“Hahahaha! We survived!!”
“We won!!”
“Lady Sarah!!”
Countless players were overwhelmed with tears of joy. Some dropped to their knees, laughing uncontrollably. Others embraced the companions beside them and broke down in tears. The despair that had shrouded the entire camp only moments ago seemed to have been completely swept away along with that explosion in the sky, and New Dawn Camp instantly erupted into boundless celebration.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the joy of surviving the catastrophe—
Pfft—!
Sarah spat out another large mouthful of blood.
The Blood construct that had blanketed the heavens rapidly collapsed. Endless blood rained back onto the battlefield, while her body, as though it had lost every ounce of strength, swayed unsteadily, nearly falling from the sky.
Her long hair, once as brilliant as blazing fire, had now become dull and lifeless.
The aura of life emanating from her body had weakened to an unprecedented degree.
Meanwhile, on the Edgeburn side, there were no cheers, only deathly silence.
Every technician stared blankly at the flight signal that had completely disappeared from the center of the screen. The color drained from every face almost simultaneously.
They had failed. The ultimate weapon upon which they had placed all their hopes had truly had its trajectory altered by a pair of vampire hands.
The entire battlefield was so silent that a pin drop could have been heard.
After a long while, Everest slowly smiled. Within that smile, there was no trace of ease whatsoever.
“She can’t hold on any longer.”
His gaze quietly rested upon the figure in the distance, swaying on the verge of collapse, as the coldness returned to his eyes.
“In that case, let’s end her here.”
He slowly raised his right hand.
“Advance with the entire army. Strike before she recovers.”
The instant the order was given—
BOOM!!
Countless war machines roared back to life. Artillery once again blanketed the battlefield, while a dense rain of arrows and energy attacks shot simultaneously toward the slender figure standing alone at the center of the battlefield.
Sarah slowly raised her head. Looking at the overwhelming barrage rushing toward her, she had no strength left.
Just as the foremost arrow closed to within only a few meters of her—
Bzzz—
The surrounding space suddenly rippled with faint silver waves.
The next moment, a tall, slender figure in a black jumpsuit, dressed like an assassin, appeared before Sarah without the slightest warning.
Clang!!
The arrow, powerful enough to pierce solid rock, was lightly caught between two slender fingers, unable to advance even the slightest bit farther.
The newcomer lowered her head and glanced at the arrow in her hand before letting out a soft sigh.
“…Sigh. That guy really doesn’t let me rest for even a single moment.”
The moment those words fell, a silver-white sword light slowly emerged beside her.
FWOOOSH—
An incredibly thin arc of sword light, so slender it was almost invisible, silently swept across the battlefield.
The next second—
RUMBLE—!!
Dozens of war machines were instantly severed neatly into two halves. Before the explosions could even erupt, that silver arc had already continued onward, spanning thousands of meters in an instant before cleaving apart a black hill several hundred meters tall in the distance. The mountain collapsed with a thunderous crash as endless dust billowed into the sky, causing the entire battlefield to tremble violently.
The entire battlefield fell into absolute, deathly silence.
Whether it was New Dawn Camp or the Edgeburn Legion, everyone stared blankly at the figure that had suddenly appeared.
Soft raven hair fluttered gently in the wind. Her tall, slender figure quietly stood before Sarah.
In her right hand was a slender silver longsword. Its tip hung low, while her light blue eyes were so calm that the heaven-shattering strike she had just unleashed seemed nothing more than a casual swing.
After a few seconds, someone finally recognized her.
“Raven hair… That sword…”
One player suddenly widened his eyes, his voice trembling violently with excitement.
“It’s her!!”
“The Vice Guildmaster of the Adventurers’ Guild—Scarlett Voss!!”
