Chapter 684, Fifth Profession Player Falls!

Following immediately after.

 

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

 

Three consecutive thunderous explosions echoed across the entire Shadow Isle.

 

Particularly the final blast, fired from the Magic Crystal Cannon mounted on the Shadow Fortress. It caused the entire Shadow Fortress to violently tremble, nearly causing the girls to lose their footing.

 

However, despite the violent trembling of Shadow Fortress, Lu Fan was not worried it would collapse.

 

Feather Country was great at construction. Since they had placed the Magic Crystal Cannon on Shadow Fortress, it certainly meant the Shadow Fortress absolutely had the capability to support it.

 

Furthermore, was the only thing Life Essence affected the Magic Crystal Cannons?

 

If the Shadow Fortress collapsed simply from firing cannons, this incident would likely make Feather Country a laughingstock for a lifetime.

 

As the three thunderous sounds rang out, apart from this Shadow Fortress, two other Magic Crystal Cannons also spat out their shells.

 

Instantly, three black beams of light pierced through the sky above Shadow Isle, their targets clear: aimed directly at the invaders.

 

Two ordinary Magic Crystal Cannons bombarded the regular Players.

 

While the Legendary Grade Magic Crystal Cannon, possessing far greater power and precision, was naturally aimed by Lu Fan at the Mage Patriarch.

 

The two shells struck the ground, immediately erupting with terrifying power.

 

Their forces had never imagined that Magic Crystal Cannons would exist here, so caught completely off guard, they suffered devastating losses from these two shells!

 

At least a hundred people were affected by the shells’ explosive power, including numerous Fourth Profession Players and even Level 100 Players!

 

But that was just the beginning. The most tragic fate befell the Mage Patriarch who had been attempting to kill the Shadow Dragon Human King.

 

He had been channeling his Skill’ when a profound sense of crisis suddenly gripped his heart.

 

He knew this was his instinct as an expert warning him of imminent danger.

 

Looking toward the source of his unease, he saw a black beam of light hurtling toward him, giving him no time to react whatsoever.

 

In his panic, how could he still focus on killing the Shadow Dragon Human King?

 

He immediately released his right hand controlling the Shadow Dragon Human King, while his left hand’s Skill shot toward the Shadow Magic Crystal Cannon’s shell, attempting to use it to intercept the projectile.

 

The Skill collided with the shell, instantly creating even more severe consequences.

 

The combined power of both forces leaked out, with numerous nearby Players and Monsters directly annihilated into ash.

 

However, there was a crucial difference. The Monsters would respawn each day, and Lu Fan could have as many as he wanted.

 

But when Players died, they stayed dead. No one could return from the grave.

 

After the tremendous power exploded, the Mage Patriarch’s form subsequently appeared mid-air.

 

Struck by the residual force of the collision between his Skill and the shell, he was sent flying backwards, blood spraying wildly from his mouth!

 

The lightning that had originally surrounded his entire body had now completely dissipated. Clearly, though he had withstood the Magic Crystal Cannon aimed at him, he had paid a considerable price.

 

After all, could a Legendary Grade Magic Crystal Cannon really be so easily resisted?

 

The three Magic Crystal Cannon shells instantly rewrote the situation on the battlefield.

 

If those from Cherry Blossom Country had known this area was within the range of the Magic Crystal Cannons, they absolutely would never have chosen to fight here. After all, the formidable nature of Engineered Items had already been thoroughly demonstrated in national warfare.

 

If these people continued fighting here, within ten minutes, the continuous Magic Crystal Cannon bombardment would likely leave most of them dead.

 

Therefore, their morale had plummeted even further. These three consecutive Magic Crystal Cannon blasts had completely shattered what little fighting spirit remained.

 

The Mage Patriarch naturally recognised this fact. Having barely stabilised his form, lightning began emanating from his body again, though the glow was much dimmer compared to before.

 

“Master, the enemy actually has Magic Crystal Cannons! Moreover, the Magic Crystal Cannons seem to be of a very High Grade, no worse than Cherry Blossom Country’s finest Magic Crystal Cannons!”

 

The Mage Patriarch shouted loudly, wanting Kage Tenshi to realise the severity of the current situation.

 

“We were far too careless regarding that Dragon Tamer. This person has set up an inescapable trap here, just waiting for us… ugh…”

 

Before he could finish speaking, a soft *thunk* sound came from his chest, followed by a giant sword emerging from his torso.

 

This giant sword belonged to none other than the Shadow Dragon Human King.

 

The Mage Patriarch’s earlier failure to kill the Shadow Dragon Human King had instead enraged the latter, making him the primary target for elimination.

 

Now that the Mage Patriarch had been struck by a Magic Crystal Cannon and was distracted, the Shadow Dragon Human King naturally would not miss such an opportunity for revenge.

 

The Mage Patriarch looked at the massive sword protruding from his chest, feeling agony while fury surged within his heart.

 

Since becoming a Fifth Profession Player, he could practically be considered invincible. When had he ever been in such a pathetic state!?

 

Being injured by a Magic Crystal Cannon was one thing, but a Level 105 Boss could also inflict Critical Damage on him!?

 

“Beast, you think I’m giving you face when I stop!?” The Mage Patriarch roared furiously, blood streaming from his mouth.

 

He grabbed the giant sword protruding from his chest, preventing the Shadow Dragon Human King from withdrawing it.

 

Simultaneously, his tiger-like eyes blazed wide as countless lightning bolts erupted from his body, instantly engulfing the Shadow Dragon Human King.

 

Enveloped by the Mage Patriarch’s skill, the Shadow Dragon Human King let out anguished howls as his Health Pool rapidly depleted.

 

He wanted to escape but found himself firmly Crowd Controlled by this Skill, with nowhere to flee.

 

Just as the Shadow Dragon Human King’s body turned charcoal black and was about to be electrocuted into charcoal, three more cannon blasts rang out.

 

“Second Brother, watch out!” Another Patriarch shouted, a long sword appearing in his hand as he leaped into the air, charging toward the Mage Patriarch.

 

The Mage Patriarch did not immediately react to what was happening. By the time he looked up, it was already too late.

 

A black beam of light had already enveloped him from above. This black light was precisely a Magic Crystal Cannon shell!

 

The Sword Wielding Patriarch rushed forward to rescue him, but the Magic Crystal Cannon’s speed was clearly faster.

 

This person’s sword strike passed right by the shell, completely missing its target.

 

Under the Mage Patriarch’s terrified gaze, this shell engulfed him without obstruction, along with dozens of Players below and hundreds of Monsters, enveloping them all.

 

*BOOM!*

 

The thunderous sound lingered endlessly. The Sword Wielding Patriarch looked down at the smoke-shrouded area below, where the faint outline of a crater was beginning to form, his expression extremely grim.

 

He could sense that within the shell crater below, there were no survivors.

 

In other words, the Mage Patriarch was dead.

 

Though this person was a Fifth Profession Player, his Physique ultimately could not be compared to Warrior Type Players.

 

Having been successively critically wounded by the Magic Crystal Cannon and the Shadow Dragon Human King, he was naturally killed without suspense by the bombardment.
