Chapter 475: Chapter 475

"Just as I step out, I am burdened with work; where’s the sense of fairness?" Du You muttered irritably.

"Haha, it’s all part and parcel of being capable!" The opponent seemed undisturbed by Du You’s exasperation.

At this moment, Lin Yucha stepped forward, "Master, I can’t locate the position of the ambusher."

Du You was stunned. Lin Yucha’s dark vision was powerful. Even though it wasn’t designed specifically for seeking out stealth users, it was still quite good at it. However, it couldn’t detect the opponent’s position.

This suggested that the other party’s hiding abilities were quite strong, and no wonder he himself couldn’t detect their approach through Spiritual Perception.

"It’s fine, we’ll just be a bit more careful moving forward. You both continue to protect me, let me show them some of my power." Since there’s no way for them to hinder him, they will have to adjust to his rhythm.

While the magic of sacrifice is tough to deal with, powerful attack magic was quite rare.

Du You pointed to the sky, a massive fireball formed, ruthlessly smashing downwards. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

The opponents finally realized something wasn’t right. Many priests joined forces, using all sorts of defenses. Multicolored Defensive Barriers were put up in the sky. However, the fireball fiercely battered down, weakening with every layer it descended. But with each layer, several monks turned pale as the defensive barrier was broken, receiving a considerable backlash.

In the end, the fireball exploded mid-air, but its power was not fully blocked, causing chaos in the area below. Also, the raining Destruction Evil Dogs further disrupted their formation.

The situation where they had been dominating suddenly took a drastic turn.

"Crap, retreat, retreat to the next fortification, abandon this fortress."

The fortress doesn’t have strong defenses. The initial plan was to use the Jinghong Crossbow Cannon to collapse the opponent in one fell swoop, but they didn’t expect things to turn out this way. The Command Center quickly realized that it would lead to no good ending if they continue to stay here, hence ordered a retreat.

Although the Warriors were unwilling, the majority still retreated. Why the majority? Because a small portion of the warriors were reluctant to retreat. Astonishingly, they counterattacked towards Capital University.

The people outside, upon witnessing this, shook their heads at the ones leading.

Students are, after all, students. They aren’t soldiers who strictly abide by commands.

It wasn’t apparent when the situation was initially in their favor. However, now at a disadvantage, with their forces shattered, some arrogant fellows started to jump out, like those wanting to turn the tables.

In the beginning, they genuinely managed to hold back the students of the Capital University with their fervor. However, about ten seconds later, when the second black fireball fell from the sky, their excitement disappeared.

Without priests to block the fireball, it mercilessly smashed onto them, aside from the ones charging at the front, who narrowly escaped disaster due to their proximity to the students of Capital University. The rest were either instantly killed or severely injured. Numerous protective white circles appeared, whisking them away.

All but a few of who remained were almost wiped out, beyond any chance of resurgence.

Once they left, the reception awaiting them was definitely not the hero’s welcome they might have hoped for. However, nobody in the presence sympathized. If you mess up, how can you expect others to indulge you?

Under the command of the new commander, the rest advanced. Du You used a fireball to blast open the enemy fortress’s defenses, followed by other Mages casting spells that rapidly reduced the fortress to rubble.

Thus, they pursued the main enemy forces, relentlessly pressing ahead, they had no idea how many were sent away or how many were dispersed. In any case, the situation seemed exceptionally grim.

Du You didn’t participate in the subsequent attacks. He felt he had already performed well and should leave opportunities for others. Of course, the primary reason was that Du You noticed glances of resentment from others when he continued attacking. It seemed his actions were deemed so excessive that it was affecting the others.

Why bother offending so many, Du You was happy to take it easy. Any more performance here wouldn’t hold any practical significance anyway.

Du You stopped, whereas the others became even more fervent in their pursuit. Only when faced with more challenging situations, Du You would assist using the Destruction Flames.

For ordinary matters, if Du You even tried to intervene, people would stop him.

This lasted till the enemy retreated to another large fortress. This fortress serves as the last line of defense for the Command Center. All five avenues finally converged here.

This fortress was also the largest. It might not have strong offensive capabilities, but the defense was exceptionally solid. Even Du You’s Destruction Flames couldn’t destroy this fortress. To capture it, they would have to rely on strategy rather than sheer power. This will largely depend on the people at the Command Center; however, no favorable outcome is generally expected.

Du You was pulled back to assist the forces on other fronts, ridding the surrounding areas of people from War God Academy. They also set ambushes near the fortress, eliminating a large number of War God Academy students.

The War God Academy was filled with complaints. They couldn’t believe the situation deteriorated so quickly.

"This is truly a disgrace to our academy. Could this be our weakest generation?" An older student spoke up.

"It’s not that they are weak; it’s just that Capital University has produced a monster. I heard that Du You ranks fifth in our history, the top of his generation. His talents and abilities are simply too powerful."

"Cut it out. He doesn’t have any powerful forces backing him. He achieved all this through his own effort. He doesn’t even have all the equipment, yet he demonstrated such prowess. What’s there to be envious of?"

Indeed, the ability to neutralize or even exceed the enhancements offered by equipment is not something just anyone can achieve.

With Du You, this monster, War God Academy is doomed this time. Du You maximized the potential of magic, showing them the terrifying destructive power of spells. Who knows if this will leave a psychological shadow on them.

In summary, the surviving students of the War God Academy can only hide behind the largest fortress for defense. The Command Centers of both sides engaged in a fierce intellectual tug of war, with various strategies being devised.

However, due to the limited time, they couldn’t do much to the fortress within the two days of the competition. Despite their best efforts, War God Academy couldn’t emerge from the fortress again and were continually encircled within, which was tremendously embarrassing.
