Chapter 911: Chapter 911
"These Giants really don’t make life easy for us; in another month, our forces will have increased somewhat."
Director Wang shook his head, "There’s no way around it. We’ve put too much pressure on the Giants, and now we have to fight. We still have the advantage here, and it would be even more troublesome if we left."
This wasn’t something that his academy could decide on its own, as the five major academies were simultaneously launching attacks in this world. Many times, progress was completely out of their control. If the other academies advanced, his had to follow suit.
As a result, step by step, they had arrived at this point, where all five major acadacies were somewhat troubled. Now, other than persevering, there was no other choice; if it really came down to it, the academy would have to increase the investment in this mission.
Several tier-five beings were not too difficult for the top-tier academies to handle.
What Director Wang didn’t mention was that it was precisely because the situation was dangerous that the higher-ups were intentionally applying pressure, to temper them. This pressure ultimately all fell on Director Wang’s shoulders.
Do well, and he would be celebrated for a great achievement, but if even a slight error occurred, he would be the one to carry the blame.
The army below quickly assembled, mostly comprised of Summoned Beasts and soldiers recruited from the territory. Although some of the students, who were close-combat Warriors, would go to the front, the academy was responsible for their safety.
"Du You, let your Unicorn out, this situation is the perfect opportunity for it to shine."
Director Wang spoke to Du You, who, at that moment, also witnessed the release of various powerful magic spells. Various domains and auras were unfolded, affecting the advancing Giants on the opposite side. Official source ıs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
The Giants were inherently powerful but had limited tactics, devoid of domain skills and auras. Thus, in this world, unleashing such abilities was virtually impossible.
Du You nodded, "Don’t worry, I know. Even if they can counter one of my skills, they can’t counter all of them." After some thought, Du You finally decided to reveal a bit more.
Performing well now would be of great help to him. It wasn’t just about enhancing his reputation in this world; it was also about currying favor with the academy, which would then protect him even more strenuously.
Director Wang raised an eyebrow, looking at Du You curiously. This student, who had suddenly risen, was he hiding some powerful abilities they didn’t know about?
Without any more words, Du You summoned the bubble, pointing towards the front; the bubble nodded. This support position, where it didn’t need to charge into battle, was its favourite.
In the face of the Flame Giants, the Dispersion Aura was basically useless. But the bubble wasn’t limited to just that skill. A wide range of Divine Blessings descended. Everyone and every Summoned Beast at the front immediately felt a layer of light fall upon them, greatly enhancing their state in various aspects—a Strengthening from the tier-four Unicorn Holy Beast.
While the academy did have several tier-four beings, most of them had climbed up the ranks relying on personal strength. None had reached tier four walking the path of support.
Now with just one Unicorn, all other Light Attribute Professionals were outshone.
Those who initially looked down on Du You also bowed their heads, no longer daring to say anything. Indeed, even if that one skill was useless, he still possessed a powerful pet.
Offending someone with such immense potential rashly was not a good idea, and many began to regret their actions.
Without wasting words, Du You immediately unfolded the Resentful Souls Domain. As it unfurled, the atmosphere of almost the entire battlefield shifted. The once torrid environment suddenly grew a bit chill.
In the Void, numerous translucent Resentful Souls appeared, continually Piercing back and forth through the Giants. Each strike made the Giants scream in agony, growing weaker with every pass. Some of the weaker Giants couldn’t withstand many strikes and collapsed to the ground, half-dead. Of course, sometimes the Giants’ own flames would burn the Resentful Souls away.
But the next moment, new Resentful Souls would appear, seemingly inexhaustible.
"This Domain Skill is quite nice. Even if the domain itself may be lacking somewhat, its star rating is high, and it has reached tier four; such a range is indeed very effective on the battlefield."
"Yes, especially against the Giants, who have no Domain Skills of their own and can’t counteract this domain. Now they have to fully endure this skill. Unfortunately, we don’t like these kinds of supportive skills," Li Daxian also lamented. If they had large-area Domain Skills, they would have used them already. Domain skills were not easy to acquire, and they were mostly supportive in nature, with advancement materials even harder to find. Du You’s ability to elevate this skill to tier four was truly enviable.
As others witnessed Du You’s vast domain and the terrifying effectiveness of the skill, many faces changed again. On this battlefield, facing an enemy without a domain, the skill’s effect was almost as good as Destruction Flames.
Because of this skill, they, who were evenly matched with the Giants, could now be said to have turned the tables and begun to suppress them.
"Heh, it’s not over yet. I still have tricks up my sleeve," Du You chuckled inwardly with the reactions of those around him, and pointed his finger again toward the opposing side.
In an instant, numerous Hellfire Spiders, invisible to the naked eye, appeared beneath the Giants’ feet.
After releasing the Hellfire Spiders a few times, Du You stopped to recover his Magic Power; then, with a thought, a series of explosions erupted among the groups of Giants. The explosions occurred too rapidly, taking the Giants by surprise.
The entire battlefield roared to life with explosions, many Giants being blown to pieces on the spot. Even with strong resistance to flames, the explosive power was stronger. Several tier-four Giants, having received special attention from Du You, found themselves in the midst of even more exploding Hellfire Spiders.
The Giants’ flames dispersed, black fire melding into their bodies; several tall Giants instantly withered away, turning into skin and bones, dead beyond doubt.
The importance of the explosion lay not in the number of Giants it killed, but in utterly disrupting their formation. What was once an orderly phalanx now lay in tatters, unable to exert its full power and becoming an obstacle to itself.
"What a potent skill, it must be that trap-type skill, and it’s also been upgraded. How did he manage that, to upgrade so many skills?" Now, many eyed Du You with envy.
