Chapter 198: Chapter198-Activating His Divine Class State and Clashing Head-On with the Swarm

"In that case, you can turn to ashes alongside your ant-like brethren!"

The Devouring Lord let out a sinister laugh. In the next instant, terrifying beams of energy abruptly erupted from its body, hurtling toward John like a torrential downpour.

John remained expressionless. With a flash of his figure, he disappeared from where he stood.

"What use is speed?"

The Devouring Lord sneered coldly. Immediately afterward, a wave of green light erupted from its body.

Under the influence of that green radiance, the surrounding Swarmborn instantly began moving in a strange and coordinated fashion.

They arranged themselves into one airtight formation after another, forming countless circular layers that trapped John in their midst.

Then, every single Swarmborn opened its mouthparts and spat out streams of green corrosive liquid, sealing off every possible space through which John might escape.

Outside those rings, more and more Swarmborn continued flying over to fill every opening, ensuring that John would never be able to break out.

When the Devouring Lord saw this, it laughed repeatedly.

"Now you cannot flee through the sky or across the ground. Let me see how you intend to escape!"

John narrowly avoided one incoming attack. Looking at the Swarmborn continuously piling up around the perimeter, his gaze turned cold.

"Who told you I was trying to escape?"

The instant his words fell, the aura around his body abruptly changed.

His original mage equipment instantly shifted into its assassin form.

Under his assassin form, he unlocked his Divine Class state.

At this moment, John had effectively reached the realm of a half-step High God.

The Devouring Lord sensed the majestic fluctuations radiating from John’s body, and its pupils abruptly contracted.

"How is this possible? How can you possibly possess divine might?"

In the Devouring Lord’s understanding, it was absolutely impossible for a Level 250 human to have even the slightest connection to divinity.

Yet the divine might now emanating from John was undeniably real.

Just then, John suddenly spread both arms wide as an intense burst of light erupted from his body.

"Divinization: Assassin Annihilation Blade!"

This was a divinized skill he had strengthened using divine points.

Its effect was extremely simple and brutal: all of his attack power would instantly spread to every enemy unit within a hundred-kilometer radius of his body at the exact same moment, while also receiving a fiftyfold damage amplification.

In the next instant, countless rays of skill energy surged wildly out of John’s body, spreading in every direction!

The moment the countless columns of Swarmborn were struck, they exploded instantly, shattering into fragments.

A torrential rain of green corpses began falling from the entire sky.

However, the number of Swarmborn was simply far too enormous.

The first wave of Swarmborn had only just been slaughtered when even more immediately surged forward to take their places.

Wave after wave came without fear of death, seemingly endless and inexhaustible.

Seeing this, the Devouring Lord let out a cold laugh.

"Human, I admit that this skill of yours is powerful. But how long can an attack of this level possibly last? One minute at most, I would imagine. Once that minute is over, your death will arrive!"

In the Devouring Lord’s understanding, a form like John’s would come with an enormous energy consumption and could last for no more than a single minute.

It could never have imagined that John’s skill did not consume any MP whatsoever!

After slaughtering an uncountable number of Swarmborn, John suddenly stopped his movements.

It was not because he had run out of MP.

Rather, he simply felt that killing them this way was still too inefficient.

John’s expression remained calm, without the slightest trace of panic on his face.

In the next instant, the aura around his body transformed once more. A strange energy fluctuation spread outward from within him.

He had switched forms again.

This time, he had entered his Warrior Divine Class state.

"How is this possible? Another form of divine might has appeared on his body?!"

Before the Devouring Lord could even finish speaking, John’s entire presence had already undergone an earth-shattering change.

If his previous Assassin Divine Class had emitted a sinister divine might perfectly suited for assassinating others from the shadows, then his current Warrior Divine Class state radiated an incomparably domineering divine might rooted in absolute strength!

In his Warrior Divine Class form, the muscles throughout John’s body bulged violently, stretching his mage robe taut around his frame.

John merely raised one hand slightly.

A colossal golden sword, condensed entirely from pure divine power, appeared in his grasp!

Dozens of pairs of compound eyes on the Devouring Lord’s body contracted sharply at the same time.

It could clearly sense that the nature of the divine might within this insignificant human had changed completely in a single instant.

This had utterly surpassed its understanding of the laws of the world.

An extreme sense of danger suddenly surged through its heart, causing even its entire body to begin trembling uncontrollably.

"Impossible! Dual Divine Classes?!"

For the first time, a tremor appeared in the Devouring Lord’s voice.

It was a fear born from pure instinct.

"Who exactly are you?!"

Since the moment it first gained awareness, it had never encountered anything like this before.

There was absolutely something wrong with this human before it!

John did not answer.

There was no need for him to waste words on an opponent who was about to become famous across the game solely for dying beneath his sword.

"Who exactly are you?!"

The Devouring Lord continued roaring.

However, this time, the answer it received was a golden sword light that seemed capable of cleaving heaven and earth apart.

"Divinized Slash!"

This time, John did not cast any skill at all.

He had merely divinized a simple ordinary attack.

Unlike the ultimate single-target burst damage of his assassin form, after switching into his Warrior Divine Class state, what John pursued was absolute destruction over an enormous area.

John gripped the sword with both hands and swept it horizontally toward the overwhelming insect tide before him in a simple, unadorned slash.

In an instant, a golden wave of sword energy spread forward in the shape of a fan.

At first, all the Swarmborn could see was an incomparably thin golden line.

However, that line rapidly expanded, sweeping outward like a towering tidal wave.

Within just a few seconds, the golden tide engulfed every Swarmborn in its path.

One sword strike.

Only one sword strike was needed.

More than half of the Swarmborn force that had driven countless human players into despair was slaughtered outright.

They did not even have the slightest opportunity to resist.

A massive empty space appeared directly in the sky.

"Ha!"

John had never felt as exhilarated as he did at this moment.

In his opinion, the enemies he usually killed were either too few in number or far too poor in quality.

Only the Swarmborn could give him the thrill of slaughtering to his heart’s content in a single battle.

In the next instant, his figure flashed.

He charged directly into the densest area of the remaining insect tide.

Seeing this, the Devouring Lord released a furious screech.

Its massive, mountain-like body instantly moved.

It could no longer sit back and watch as its descendants were slaughtered so wantonly by John.

"Human, I want you dead!"

Its enormous mouthparts opened wide, directly spitting out a terrifying pillar of light with a diameter of more than a hundred meters.

This beam possessed overwhelmingly corrosive power.

Anything it touched, even metal or stone, would instantly dissolve into nothingness.

The Devouring Lord had once used this very move to directly kill a Swarmborn lord of the same level as itself.

John was merely Level 250.

In its eyes, there was absolutely no possibility that he could withstand this attack.

Yet in the face of such a terrifying assault, John displayed no intention of dodging whatsoever.

"Perfect timing!"

John turned his head and let out a long roar.

In the next instant, he raised the massive golden sword in his hands and collided head-on with the green pillar of light!

Boom!
