Chapter 1384: Chapter 1384

1384: Chapter 1380: Enclosure 1384: Chapter 1380: Enclosure Ordinary high-tier professionals, even in a battle among Quasi-Gods, still view it as merely a battle, but if both parties involved belong to the Life system, and are in a complete state of the Life system…

Lu Ping’an surveyed his surroundings; his war profession had been fully activated.

Even with the narrow definition of “a war where the warring parties exceed a thousand,” the current scene fully qualified.

In the midst of layers of encirclement and protection, Commander Lu Ping’an raised his right hand high and clenched it fiercely.

A chain of Corpse Explosions cleared a large area of the battlefield.

The most astounded by this scene was Lu Ping’an’s opponent, Bane.

This familiar scene, this unique path of the Mother Goddess cult—how could Bane, the Archbishop of the Mother Goddess cult, not recognize it?

This time, he no longer doubted; from what he could see, this “Gardener” was indeed the successor of Chris…

After the fall of this Quasi-God, Lu Ping’an might be the only Newborn “Black Holy Grail Holder,” the most terrifying King of War under the path of the Mother Goddess cult.

He calmly spread out his palm, and a phantom of a blossoming flower unfurled upon his Pet Beast.

It was a layer of light green “turf,” rapidly spreading across the ground, over his Pet Beasts…

the whole world suddenly transformed into a “Forest Land.”

Although applying buffs to one’s Magic Pet is a common practice for a Beast Tamer, in Lu Ping’an’s actual combat experience, it was indeed rare to encounter such a situation.

Raging emotions transmitted from Chris’s side, intermixed with sadness and a real…

In fact, even when Bane was confirmed to have betrayed, Big Cat did not exhibit such an irritable desire for slaughter.

This scene seemed to be more intolerable to Chris than Bane standing in their way, uttering blasphemous and treacherous words.

With just one sentence, even Lu Ping’an was confounded.

He tried to pull at his own “Corpse Bombs,” enabling the negative energy life crystals to explode on their own.

But a bizarre scene unfolded; not only did the force required to pull increase significantly, the exploding “blood blossoms” were also significantly reduced…

a regular Magic Monster blasted straight in the face survived, merely injured but not killed.

“…You and she really have a good relationship.”

How could Lu Ping’an not understand this scene?

The power Bane was currently using was obviously developed by Lin Nu specifically to counter the “Black Knights of the Mother Goddess cult.”

“Yes, domain-type Divine Grace, usually only possessed by Divine Envoys.”

With Bane’s status, having obtained this power…

it’s no wonder Chris’s heart is filled with the anger of “betrayal.”

Lu Ping’an’s Eye of Truth had already seen through it; the “little flower” consisted of a film made from a Trait of the Power of Life, specifically crafted to counter the Life Force of the altered Black Knights.

In practical combat, it could not only withstand Corpse Explosion, but even if the bearer fell, before that protective film dissipated, the Black Holy Grail would be unable to draw Life Force from the corpse…

It could be said that Big Cat’s strongest “compounding” attack strategy as the Black Knight was rendered useless in the face of such a Trait.

“Was that an act before?”

“Half and half, I suppose.

They indeed recruited me, but I had been hesitating.

After meeting with you, my hesitations were gone.”

This time, even Lu Ping’an, the “bystander,” felt somewhat amused.

In front of himself back then, the two Bishops had been at loggerheads, was it all a sham directed at their own Deity?

And Big Cat, having come this far, still thought Bane was loyal?

“Ha, Chris, as an Evil God, you really are naive enough to be cute.”

can someone as innocent as you truly be fit to lead fellow believers?”

Different words, similar meanings—both friends and foes scorned her at the same time, nearly setting off Chris’s temper.

“Lu Ping’an, whose side are you on?!”

But after her emotional outburst, the annoyance and irritability naturally subsided quite a bit.

Chris, having calmed her mind, diligently searched for Bane, who had already gone into hiding…

On this battlefield, only she had the potential to slay the enemy’s true form.

In front of Lu Ping’an, a tall Panda-man was entangled by a six-headed hydra, its heads were wrapped under his armpits, around his limbs, head, feet—some pulling, some stretching, others attempting to bore in…

All in all, Xue En’s battle situation was a bit delicate, and the scene became quite intricate.

Lu Ping’an casually captured a few exciting shots of the entangled battle between the Panda-man and the tentacles.

His “Eye of the Sky” relayed an aerial view of the entire battlefield.

“Tsk, that’s too many, it’s a bit outrageous…”

Looking at the map covered with high-level Demons, even Lu Ping’an couldn’t comprehend how he had managed to cross the border successfully—did he also possess a garden-like ability?

The answer was probably yes, but to Lu Ping’an’s surprise, most of the creatures were not in good shape…

There are even some that have frozen to death…”

This damned environment even significantly weakened the powers of Lu Ping’an, who belonged to the Life system profession.

He had even spent time acclimating to this environment.

No matter how strong Bane was, his beast swarm was definitely accustomed to the temperate climate of the Eastern Country, and very few could withstand the cold.

Now, even though most of the life forms were glowing with an eerie red light, apparently having some kind of cold resistance treatment, it not only consumed his energy but also greatly reduced the numbers of the “Swallowing the World Legion.”

Yes, a legion—a top Beast Tamer was indeed an army, a realm unto themselves.

Bane had accumulated who knows how many strange and bizarre life forms over a hundred years.

Now, he could probably use less than one-tenth of what he had under normal conditions, and many dangerous species were unusable, such as the ever-present insect types.

Yet, even so, it was still enough to cover the entire wilderness, with an unthinkable number of them…

“Is time on our side?

Those red lights are fading; they must be consuming energy…”

Watching the red light flickering on those creatures, Lu Ping’an pondered.

Those snakes, crocodiles, and such were obviously not in good condition.

So, should the strategic goal focus on delay?

The next moment, Lu Ping’an shook his head.

On the one hand, it was too passive, and on the other…

“…Maybe, that’s what he wants me to think.

A war of attrition doesn’t suit me, and he’s a Gourmet too…”

A high-tier Gourmet could continuously, through feeding, permanently enhance physical fitness, while a Beast Tamer could share the Power of Life and traits with their Magic Pets…

Both professions involved slow and steady increases in their limits.

God knows how outrageous Bane’s foundational ability would be after a century of accrual.

Lu Ping’an did not attempt melee combat; his previous battle with Zhu Dakai confirmed that engaging in close combat with an opponent with absolute hardware advantage was equivalent to a free giveaway.

“…Gourmets can also feed during battle to replenish their energy.”

The creatures spread out across the mountains made Lu Ping’an reassess the upper limit of the Beast Tamer profession.

He had fought many Beast Tamers before, but most were in a crippled state without legions…

Now, truly facing the seemingly infinite tide of beasts, without finding the hidden Beast Tamer himself, the war was doomed to have no chance of success.

“…I can’t let the battle go on , a war of attrition might not be good for me.”

At this moment, Lu Ping’an reached a conclusion that was completely opposite to “logic.”

Here, in the battlefield chosen by Bane, under the snow lay his Beast Nests and legion…

Engaging in a stubborn fight on the battlefield selected by one from the Life system seemed unwise.

For Lu Ping’an, the phrase “Don’t fall into the opponent’s rhythm and arrangement” was enough to make a judgment.

“…I didn’t expect to have to use her so soon.”

Touching the “canvas” in his hand, Lu Ping’an felt a bit regretful and reluctant.

Then, without any hesitation, he opened it.
