Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts
Chapter 882 - 234: Offense and Defense (Part 1)
"Kala, Kala..."
The terrifying sound of chewing echoed, and under the purple light, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, with massive consumption, rapidly healed its wounds. Its branches grew anew, the crown became lush again, and the roots re-entwined into massive root-like feet. As if nothing had happened, it took big strides forward, continuing to advance towards the New Hope Assembly Place!
"This... this..."
The commander pointed at the screen showing the fully restored Catastrophe Ancient Tree, stammering and not knowing what to say.
"Prepare the nuclear missiles, throw them wherever the Demon Fiends are numerous. This monster is not something we can handle..."
Wei Tian's command brought the commander back to his senses. Turning around, he saw the proud figure standing atop the city head slowly begin to float. Beneath it, green vines surged, and its body gleamed with black light. In the blink of an eye, it was already rushing towards the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!
...
Watching the Catastrophe Ancient Tree hit by the runes missile, which quickly recovered from its injuries by consuming a large number of Demon Fiends, Wen Yu raised his right hand and withdrew the Almighty Demon Vine outside the city.
Life force is very strong!
Recovery Ability is very strong!
Lethality...
Watching more vines squeeze out from countless tree tumors, Wen Yu had to admit, the range killing ability of this thing was terrifyingly strong...
Once this treant charges into the New Hope Assembly Place, it might only take a moment for the place to be turned into a forbidden zone by the all-encompassing purple vines!
Choosing the lesser of two evils, at this moment, Wen Yu had to temporarily leave the New Hope Assembly Place to deal with the Catastrophe Ancient Tree from afar.
As for how to defend the New Hope Assembly Place without Wen Yu...
Wen Yu turned his head to look at Ray, who had a solemn expression on his face.
"I'll leave this to you. Before I or my soul pet return, you must hold the place!"
After speaking, Wen Yu patted Ray's shoulder. Seeing Ray nod solemnly, Wen Yu's body rose instantly, transforming into a black light rushing towards the distant Catastrophe Ancient Tree.
Beneath Wen Yu, countless vines spread out like octopus tentacles, gripping any Demon Fiend they could reach, binding and trapping them. The vines wrapped around more Demon Fiends, forming a giant net hanging below Wen Yu. With the help of the Almighty Demon Vine and the Demon Fiends, Wen Yu appeared even more formidable and majestic than the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.
...
Slaughter, devour, recover...
With a methodically strategic mind, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree immediately devised the most appropriate solution when struck by the runes missile!
In a short time, the Cathay military released only one runes missile — in fact, due to the high cost and complicated manufacturing process, the Cathay military couldn't produce many runes missiles.
This was undoubtedly fortunate for the Catastrophe Ancient Tree — the might of the runes missile may only require a threefold barrage to entirely annihilate the Catastrophe Ancient Tree.
However, the delay in missile firing allowed the Catastrophe Ancient Tree to find a lifeline.
Inside the trunk, countless purple vines swiftly extended in all directions, preying on one Demon Fiend after another, dissolving and digesting them to nourish and heal the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's body.
The Catastrophe Ancient Tree, created by a Demon Spirit from the Demon Tribe's Level 11 transcendent powerful expert, strictly speaking, is considered a kind of military apparatus — without a flexible body or formidable ultimate skills. However, its enormous body and weight, along with unparalleled defense and recovery capabilities, make the Catastrophe Ancient Tree a movable fortress on the battlefield, extremely potent in group killing and hard to destroy!
The purple vines absorbed more and more Demon Fiends, supported by countless "blood bags," the Catastrophe Ancient Tree gradually felt the pain on its body vanish, with its damaged body rapidly restoring. In under a minute, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree successfully returned to its peak state — Cathay military's tens of millions of points thus utterly went to waste.
Just as the Catastrophe Ancient Tree wanted to consume more to replenish its body energy, in the distance, a black light suddenly shone.
"Boom!"
A crescent-shaped darkness energy, like an indestructible battle saber, slashed through the air, striking the trunk of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree instantly!
The black light intertwining with the purple stream, then the black light tore through the purple light, violently slicing into the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's body, causing its enormous form to stagger. The vast root-formed foot trembled, barely stabilizing its body.
The Catastrophe Ancient Tree perceived its body condition — a hideous scar, ten meters wide, penetrated a third of the trunk's depth, with endless darkness energy corroding continuously until the purple light dispelled it after a while.
Subsequently, the Catastrophe Ancient Tree spread its perception, seeing the tiny figure suspended in mid-air ahead, and in front of the tiny figure, a black light once again condensed.
"Sequence Number 2... Target..."
"Boom!"
The massive energy wave of the black light struck the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's body once more!
...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Like firecrackers, successive explosions thundered, coupled with terrifying energy fluctuations, momentarily plunging the entire battlefield into silence.
Dozens of semicircular dark black light blades danced around Wen Yu incessantly, forming a mottled light strip. Under Wen Yu's command, they charged relentlessly towards the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!
Each explosion signified a fierce strike on the target, and each terrifying dark energy attack forced the Catastrophe Ancient Tree to backtrack hundreds of meters — although hundreds of meters for the Catastrophe Ancient Tree is only a step or two...
One after another, giant scars appeared and were then tenaciously counteracted by the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's recovery ability. Over several seconds, a continuous volley of dark energy waves left no noticeable result!
Even worse, the Demon Fiends in this area seemed to have taken some stimulant, quickly transitioning from fear of the Catastrophe Ancient Tree to revolution warriors with eyes glowing red, unconcerned about their survival, endlessly surging towards the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, only to be swiftly entwined and converted into nourishment to restore its body.
Upon a simple estimation, Wen Yu immediately identified the current circumstances — his attacks couldn't rival the Catastrophe Ancient Tree's recovery...
This is quite embarrassing — battles not only have victories and losses but also a conclusion known as a stalemate...
But a stalemate is not what Wen Yu wants.
Turning around, Wen Yu saw the New Hope Assembly Place, without the outermost defense line of the Almighty Demon Vine, trembling as if it were a girl on the verge of being violated under the attack of the demonic tide, without any energy shield. With determination in his heart, Wen Yu charged directly towards the Catastrophe Ancient Tree!
