Chapter 22: The Powerful Counterattack

  In the Wild Area base of Tianhui, the Nightmares were extremely depressed, thinking that this battle was already a foregone conclusion. However, they didn't expect that due to their carelessness, an enemy mage would appear as a variable, casting a shadow over their hearts.

  Moreover, the five veteran players thought they were in control of everything and didn't take their opponents seriously, but who would have thought that they were all being toyed with by the half-human mammoth on the other side, which made them extremely frustrated.

  "I've been saying from the start that the enemy's law enforcer looks very vigilant, with good awareness, and doesn't seem like a rookie at all. But you guys didn't believe me, and no one went to suppress or harass him, resulting in him secretly pulling out a crazy war axe, now everyone's stunned, right?" The prophet waved his natural law enforcement staff with some indignation.

  "Hmph! Anyone can be wise after the event. If you really had foresight, why didn't you suppress the enemy's mage on the lower road? When you saw that someone was taking a head in mid lane, weren't you the first to teleport over? You ran faster than anyone else, and yet you have the nerve to criticize others!" The Spring-Loaded Mechanic retorted disdainfully.

  "Alright, stop arguing! Five to two, we have the upper hand. What are you panicking about? It's just a Berserk Axe, isn't it? As long as we don't give that guy another chance to farm gold, can't we still turn the tables?" Zeus had considerable prestige in this small team and with a wave of his hand, he immediately put an end to the two people's argument.

  Everyone calmed down and thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Even if the opposing enemy law master played a little trick, they didn't need to be in disarray at all. Not to mention that there were three useless burdens on the opposite side, just talking about the enemy law master alone, relying solely on one crazy war axe, wanting to turn the tide of the battle was no different from a fool's dream.

  "TK, you have the money for flying shoes now? Don't waste any more time here, hurry up and take the line to make money, try to get a sheep knife out in the shortest time possible. There are several of us occupying the wild area, we'll definitely suppress that guy so he doesn't dare show his face again."

  "Also, prophet, summon your treant and go to our jungle area to farm gold quickly, try to get a purple buff to restrict the enemy mage's blink and teleport. Be vigilant at the same time, once you find the enemy mage farming gold in our jungle, speak up immediately, we will support you at any time."

  "As for us three occupying the Heaven's Edge area, let's leave the last-hitting to Yougui and let him develop quickly, so we can have a guarantee in the late game. I'd like to see how the opponent fares when all three lanes and both jungle areas are under our control, even with their crazy war axe in hand? Once our Sheep Blade and Zi Yuan are ready, and Yougui's equipment is also complete, it wouldn't matter even if we gave him six crazy war axes!"

  The Zeus of the Nightmare Department waved his hand and quickly gave out a series of orders, which were very appropriate. Others nodded one after another, with a look of admiration on their faces. Just as they were about to follow Zeus' orders and take action, an unexpected situation arose...

  Only a short distance away, a roar that was neither human nor beast echoed through the air. A familiar figure then appeared in their line of sight, swaying back and forth - it was the half-human mammoth they had killed over ten times before.

  "Bastard! Do you want to continue playing tricks on us? Are we really being treated like fools?"

  "It seems this guy won't give up and wants to use his old tricks again, trying to stall for time for that enemy mage. Little does he know, we've already come up with a perfect countermeasure and won't fall for his tricks again!"

  "But then again, since this guy has delivered himself to our doorstep, let's just take care of him first and then we can split up as planned. It won't take much time anyway."

  The night demon's words enraged the heroes, who suddenly burst into fury, their eyes blazing with fire. Like a swarm of bees, they charged forward at the approaching half-human mammoth, as if they wanted to tear it to pieces and scatter its remains everywhere.

  They were so blinded by their anger that they didn't notice the half-human mammoth's level, and even if someone did, they wouldn't have paid much attention to it. Even if they had been controlled by the Two Instruments Reversal technique, what could they do? Without a strong DPS firepower output, wanting to annihilate them within 2.5 seconds was no different from a fool's dream.

  Especially Zeus, the commander of the Nightmares team, narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a hint of sinister intent. He deliberately charged to the front, creating an opening, trying to lure out the enemy's mage. If he could kill the enemy mage at this moment, it would be equivalent to giving the Heavenly Glory team a devastating blow, and the outcome would no longer be in doubt.

  Can't help but say, Ye Wei's plan for the heroes is right up Wu Sheng 2009's alley. He was originally worried that the opponent's position was too scattered, if the big move wasn't controlled well, he would lose face and also ruin Su Hong's good deed. But now seeing the opponent with no awareness of positioning, swarming towards him, instantly made him delighted.

  "Haha, this is all your own doing! Wu Sheng let out a loud laugh in 2009, vigorously waving the war halberd in his hand, and without hesitation launched the ultimate move of the half-human mammoth."

  Two Instruments Reversal, through some mysterious unknown force, pulls all enemies within a 450-yard radius to the front of the Half-Human Mammoth, dealing 150 points of attack damage and stunning them for 2.5 seconds.

  Just then, the five heroes of the Nightmares faction were all controlled by Wu Sheng's 2009 incarnation of the half-human mammoth, with a dizzying symbol mark on top of each of their heads, unable to move or attack at will.

  However, the heroes of the Nightmares' side seemed to have received some kind of hint, and there was no sign of panic or fear on their faces. Instead, they kept glancing around at the dense forest with the corner of their eyes, as if they were secretly waiting for something.

  "Here I come!"

  Zeus's eyes suddenly lit up, and through the blood-stained tattoos, he shouted to his own people, unable to hide the excitement in his words.

  As the black shadow flashed out of the dense forest, revealing the enemy mage's figure, the other heroes of the Nightmares also burst into laughter one after another. Although they were still dizzy and unable to resist at this moment, 2.5 seconds later, they would be able to counterattack. By then, the enemy mage who had flashed in with Instant Move would not be able to flash away again due to skill cooldown, so wouldn't they still be at their mercy?

  And the reason they are so fearless is that, with just one crazy war axe attack, it's simply impossible to kill them in a short 2.5 seconds, and when the stun time ends, it's their turn to counterattack.

  But soon, the heroes of Nightmare Legion couldn't laugh anymore, no longer calm as before, one by one showing a look of horror, their pupils shrinking rapidly, already terrified to the extreme.

  Ouch! It really hurts too much!

  Zeus, who was at the forefront, let out a miserable cry after being hit by the enemy mage's attack, which dealt far more damage than he had anticipated. Furthermore, since he had chosen an intelligence-type hero this time, his physical defense was weak and his health was low to begin with. With just one strike, his life value was instantly reduced by nearly half, leaving him utterly terrified and on the verge of collapse.

  Others were also miserable, as they were controlled by the two-instrument reversal of the semi-human mammoth, and they all stuck tightly to Zeus' side, directly splashed by Su Hong's crazy war axe, naturally there was no escape, and they cried out in succession.

  "How can it be so painful?! With just a prosthetic leg and a greataxe, the DPS output shouldn't be this high!" The prophet and others wailed in agony, and after taking a glance at the enemy mage's equipment, they were all wide-eyed, almost popping their eyeballs out.

  "Isn't it a fake leg and a battle-axe? How did he still have two big ones, actually being a butterfly and a dragon heart?!"

  "This is impossible! Just the Butterfly and Dragon Heart equipment together are tens of thousands of in-game gold coins, where did he get that much money?!"

  "It's impossible, I must be seeing things. Even if this guy is pretending to be a pig eating a tiger and playing well, the speed of making money is still too exaggerated, it can't be real, it must be an illusion!"

  The nightmarish scene stunned all the heroes, including Zeus, who were all incredulous and unable to accept this fact. But as they muttered to themselves, desperately seeking psychological comfort, the enemy mage, disguised as Su Hong, coldly smiled and mercilessly struck down with a second blow.

  "Boom!"

  As the moon blade fell, Zeus, whose health had already hit rock bottom, fell to the ground with a single slash, killed twice over, while the other two fragile heroes, Prophet and TK, were also splashed by the double slash attack, their life bars instantly flashing red as they teetered on the brink of collapse.

  "Give me death!"

  Su Hong, transformed into an enemy law master, let out a loud roar. Without any hesitation, he took advantage of the half-human mammoth's dizziness from its previous big move and swung his moon-blade knife again, striking down with a third slash.

  "Double kill!"

  "Triple kill!"

  "Killing spree! Great sale!"

  At the same time, the ancient battlefield echoed with the ruthless and cold declaration of the ruler, like a thunderclap that shook the entire battlefield.

  Before the words of the master had fallen, the enemy mage who had transformed into Su Hong had already swung his sword again, chopping down.

  Although the earth spirit and the ghost who had not died yet were freed from the half-human mammoth's dizzy state, before they could react, the enemy mage's sharp blade struck them again, blood splashing everywhere, and the ghost fell to the ground with a thud.

  "Domination! Quadra Kill!"

  "ULTRAKILL! Frenzy Slaughter!"

  The master let out a battle cry, changing from his previous indifference to having a hint of excitement, but the enemy mage who had transformed into Su Hong did not notice this and instead had scarlet eyes, tightly staring at the last person who turned around to escape, and fiercely charged forward.

  "It's too late to think of escaping now!" Su Hong, with eyes blazing red, would not let his opponent off the hook. With two swift slashes, he struck down the Clockwork Titan, a Strength-type hero equipped with a Vanguard Shield. Despite its formidable defenses, the mechanical body shattered into pieces, sending mechanical parts flying everywhere, and it met its demise.

  "Penta Kill! Mega Kill!"

  "Rampage! Stigma Code 100718 has entered a state of frenzy!"

  As the Dominator's roar thundered, the ancient relic battlefield was turbulent with wind and clouds. A huge bloody vortex quickly condensed, and a blood-colored light column pierced through the sky, enveloping Su Hong entirely.
