West City Gate.

The battle at the breach continued.

Because Gandalf's location at the East City Gate attracted the vast majority of the beast tide's main force, the number of Strange Beast that rushed in from the West City Gate was relatively small.

However, not a single person present had a relaxed expression.

Everyone's gaze, without prior agreement, turned towards the eastern horizon.

Despite the distance of over ten kilometers, they could still clearly feel the two suffocatingly terrifying auras, like the heavens collapsing.

Those were the auras of Hell-level BOSS.

And, more than one.

"Gulp."

City Guard Commander Zhang Chiming swallowed hard, his face, which always carried a hint of arrogance, was now utterly pale.

He leaned towards Li Gang, his voice hoarse with extreme fear.

"Minister Li... Minister Li, what exactly is happening in the east?"

"Can Your Excellency Gandalf... can he hold out alone?"

Li Gang did not speak.

He just silently inserted a new magazine into the cold Dragon Head Sniper Rifle in his hand.

Zhang Chiming looked at his solemn face, and the anxiety in his heart grew stronger.

He gritted his teeth and asked tentatively, "With Your Excellency Gandalf's current strength, facing two Hell-level BOSS at the same time, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't be able to stop them at all, right?"

"Should we... should we take some people to help him?"

At these words, Li Gang finally reacted.

He suddenly turned his head, his bloodshot tiger eyes glaring fiercely at Zhang Chiming, his gaze filled with undisguised sarcasm and anger.

"Help?"

He retorted testily.

"How do we help?"

"Can you, damn it, deal with a Hell-level BOSS, or can I deal with a Hell-level BOSS?!"

Li Gang's voice was hoarse and full of irritation. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Zhang Chiming shuddered at his roar, instinctively taking half a step back, opening his mouth, but unable to utter a single word.

That's right.

Hell-level.

That was an existence above the Calamity-level, truly representing destruction and despair.

What other meaning could they, a ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) group of professionals who struggled even with Calamity-level BOSS, have by running over there, other than becoming cannon fodder?

Watching Zhang Chiming's face turn the color of a pig's liver, the anger in Li Gang's eyes gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of powerlessness.

He sighed heavily, his voice filled with desolation.

"That's a battle we can no longer participate in."

He turned his head, looking once again at the sky to the east, shrouded in crimson and dark green light, and murmured to himself.

"The only thing we can do now is to guard our own territory."

"And then... believe in him."

"Believe in the occurrence of a miracle."

...Meanwhile, at the East City Gate.

Above the ruins, the moment Da Yi's figure appeared, it instantly attracted the full attention of the two behemoths.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon in the sky stopped spewing Dragon Breath.

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent below also ceased its actions of using its snake tail to destroy the defensive Formation.

Their gazes, piercing through the smoke and flames of war, locked firmly onto that tiny, ant-like figure at the top of the dilapidated building.

In their eyes, there was no longer the contempt and cruelty they had shown when facing Gandalf earlier.

Instead, there was an incredibly solemn emotion, even carrying a hint of apprehension.

What they were apprehensive of was not Da Yi.

But the small, ancient black seal in his hand, which exuded supreme Divine Might!

The reason Zhou Huai did not have Da Yi ride Little Black over directly was also after careful consideration.

Although Little Black was also a Hell-level BOSS, its Rank was, after all, too low.

Compared to the two behemoths in front of them, both of which were Rank fifty or above, it was still just a small fry.

If it was accidentally focused down and instantly killed by the opponent, that would truly be a huge loss.

If a Clone died, it could be revived.

If Little Black died, then truly nothing would be left.

Therefore, he could only let Da Yi's Smart Core AI sneak over alone, risking being instantly killed.

In the sky, the Purgatory Flame Dragon, completely engulfed in crimson flames, let out a series of muffled roars.

At their level, their intelligence was already far beyond what ordinary Strange Beast could compare to.

They knew very well that the item in Da Yi's hand posed a fatal threat to them.

They had to eliminate him before he could use it!

Still without any wind-up.

The Purgatory Flame Dragon suddenly opened its gaping maw, filled with ferocious fangs.

A crimson Dragon Breath, more surging and scorching than any previous one, swept towards Da Yi's location like a waterfall of flames pouring down from the Nine Heavens!

The terrifying high temperature even caused the air along its path to violently distort!

Buzz—!

And it was at the moment the Dragon Breath was exhaled.

The Formation patterns, already carved onto the building beneath Da Yi's feet and several surrounding buildings, were instantly activated!

Several ethereal blue energy barriers rose from the ground, layered upon layer, intertwining into a massive defensive network, blocking the Dragon Breath!

Boom—!!!

The crimson Dragon Breath fiercely slammed into the first barrier!

The Rank six defensive Formation light barrier, capable of withstanding a full-power attack from a Calamity-level BOSS, was as fragile as a thin piece of paper in the face of this absolute power.

After only less than two seconds, it shattered with a violent flicker!

Then came the second, the third, the fourth... However, this short delay of less than ten seconds was already enough to create a huge operational window for Da Yi.

His figure, like a ghost, moved rapidly between buildings, each leap covering dozens of meters.

By the time the terrifying Dragon Breath broke through the last layer of barriers with unstoppable force, completely melting those few buildings into a sea of lava.

Da Yi's figure had already appeared hundreds of meters away.

The distance between him and the two Hell-level BOSS, on the contrary, was getting closer and closer.

Below, the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent, seeing this scene, actually revealed a hint of human-like anxiety in its tragic green vertical pupils.

It opened its gaping maw, seemingly wanting to repeat its old trick, spewing out its highly corrosive venom.

But it was at this moment.

Gandalf, on the other side, moved.

He lightly tapped his staff, his voice cold.

"Forbidden Spell: Thousand Mile Ice Seal!"

Crack!

A visible seven-colored cold current, as if teleporting, accurately landed on the Rock Spirit Giant Serpent's house-sized head!

The dazzling seven-colored ice crystals spread wildly at a visible speed!

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent's recently opened gaping maw, before it even had time to spray its venom, was completely sealed by a thick layer of solid ice, shimmering with seven-colored flowing light!

"Hiss... woo woo..."

The Rock Spirit Giant Serpent let out a series of painful and muffled hisses, its massive body twisting wildly in place, trying to break free from this cursed restraint.

But how could the solid ice, empowered by the Aurora Heart, be so easily broken free from?

For a time, it was firmly trapped in place.

"Roar—!!!"

The Purgatory Flame Dragon in the sky let out an enraged Dragon roar!

It fiercely flapped its massive, sky-obscuring wings, and its Dragon mouth opened!

This time, it was no longer Dragon Breath.

But hundreds of scorching fireballs, each the size of a human head, burning with raging flames!
