Chapter 267: Chapter 267

Those who were able to stay behind as guards were not to be underestimated. Du You glanced and noticed three among the Sandpeople protecting the Sand Dune Monsters had reached the second tier, all of them Quicksand Soldiers.

In terms of level, none of them were below the 5th level, indicating they were the elites among the Sandpeople.

Indeed, any Sandperson who had not undergone special training had rushed to the city walls, who would stay here? For some unknown reason, whenever the Sandpeople engaged in battle, they often recklessly risked their lives.

Unless they suffered heavy casualties, they would not flee. If there were too many Sandpeople gathered in one place, they would become even more fanatic. These tens of thousands gathered together, one could only imagine the fervor of the Sandpeople.

However, things in the rear were not the same. The people behind were far fewer than those in front.

Perhaps because there were too few of them who charged forward, the Quicksand Soldiers surprisingly gathered together. The number of Quicksand Soldiers who were here to protect the Sand Dune Monsters were about the same as Du You’s group, totaling around a hundred. But it was amazing how tightly their formation was packed.

Perhaps this formation was very effective against regular soldiers, but they were clearly oblivious to the presence of a mage, especially one adept at large-scale assaults.

The attacks of the Quicksand Soldier weren’t particularly powerful. Although noble, their number was greater than human mages.

Especially in border areas where human mages were rarely seen.

Seeing the enemy formation ready, Du You immediately cast a Holy Light Arrow Array. The level 9 Holy Light Arrow Array combined with the level 9 Spell Splitting Skill filled the sky with Light Arrows, a total of 810.

With the sudden appearance of so many Light Arrows, those Quicksand Soldiers were instantly baffled.

In this place, there was no parish priest to cast protection spells for them. The helpless Quicksand Soldiers could only exert their utmost Quicksand Douqi trying to resist. Unfortunately, their quicksand barrier, while excellent for resisting physical attacks, it performed much poorly against magic. Cries of agony immediately ensued.

No one expected this to happen; even the attacking soldiers were puzzled momentarily.

"Don’t stop, keep charging!" Du You shouted, awakening the soldiers from their stupor.

From afar, the parish priests noticed the situation here and their faces immediately turned gloomy.

"Is that the Light Attribute? Could it be a human parish priest is here?"

"No, not a parish priest. A parish priest wouldn’t have such attacking power, this is magic, light attribute magic. It’s definitely a mage. But are there mages with light attribute?"

The leading parish priest temporarily stopped their Additional Magic: "It’s not an ordinary mage; ordinary mages wouldn’t fast-track such powerful magic, it has to be a special mage. But even if it’s a special mage, such a magic will consume a vast amount of Magic Power."

In their understanding, when a mage casts such a wide-ranging magic, the consumption of Magic Power wouldn’t be small. Moreover, to cast so quickly, the consumption of Magic Power would be even higher, and there might even be other costs.

However, in reality, the Magic Power consumed by Du You was nowhere near what they imagined.

After all, although the Holy Light Arrow Array was powerful, it wasn’t that exaggerated. Du You could achieve such power by utilizing a Spell Splitting Skill. This was a stacking of two spells.

Because of Du You’s high Star Rank and his unique profession, this spectacular attack wouldn’t be possible.

While Du You’s side was enjoying the fight, the tightly packed Quicksand Soldiers were already out of luck. It was their own fault for clustering together; if they had scattered, Du You wouldn’t have been able to control the Holy Light Arrows to attack precisely.

But now, he only needed to control a single area. Holy Light Arrows fell from the sky like rain; there was no need to worry about missing. In fact, it was as such, after bouts of miserable screams, one by one, the Quicksand Soldiers fell.

Just like harvesting wheat, when the Holy Light Arrow Array swept through, of the hundred or so Quicksand Soldiers, about ninety were directly downed. One of the three second-tier Quicksand Soldiers died due to a sudden attack, sustaining multiple arrows to his head.

The remainder were injured, and quite seriously.

From the formation, two second-tier warriors immediately sprung out, fully exerting Dou Qi Slash. Two Quicksand Soldiers who had just unleashed their attacks and were severely injured didn’t have the strength to resist and were immediately cut in half.

"Damn, you guys are kill-stealing." Du You exclaimed. These were supposed to be his preys.

Earlier, one second-tier Quicksand Soldier was killed by him, but not these two.

Higher tier kills dropped Light Balls, especially from a larger level. Every second-tier killed by him would give him a Light Ball. However, two Light Balls were stolen from him just like that.

Really now, letting him kill them would have been more beneficial. What were they in such a hurry for? In the end, they got nothing at all, right?

The other people couldn’t know what Du You was thinking. A single magic spell instantly boosted the morale of the soldiers. Countless men madly rushed forward. Those that Du You had not been able to hit with a spell died at the hands of the soldiers. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱

Du You shook his head and shifted his attention back to the Sand Dune Monsters.

Now, soldiers were already rushing towards the Sand Dune Monsters. Under attack, the Sand Dune Monsters finally stopped their assault on the city walls. Their long arms swept towards the soldiers.

The special magic in the arms, carrying a large amount of sand, was like two massive sandballs, terrifyingly powerful. The soldiers had no way to approach for the time being. Even if someone could get close enough to attack, the sand body’s defense was extremely strong, general attacks would only cause minor damage, and it would recover quickly.

Du You finally understood why the leader of the troop had asked him to join them; regular close combat attacks indeed faced great obstacles.

"Come out, attack." The King Cursed Crow appeared, opening its aura, but its Cursed Aurawasn’t very effective against the Sand Dune Monsters.

The Death Scorpion sank into the ground to wait for an opportunity to attack. The massive Heavenly Disaster Dogs directly charged forwards. Their equivalents in size, the Heavenly Disaster Dogs were more physically powerful.

So they rushed up taking the attacks, and shortly subdued a Sand Dune Monster.

As for Xiaozi, Du You didn’t let her out, fearing abnormality might occur. He hid Xiaozi away. Escape was still imminent, and Xiaozi was very important in that regard. In such circumstances, Du You wouldn’t let Xiaozi encounter any upheavals.

Du You focused his gaze on a Sand Dune Monster, attack after attack, a Disintegration Spell went straight towards it. The Sand Dune Monster’s defense was robust, but Du You wondered about its Magic Resistance.
