Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 263: Chapter 66 Battle in Progress_2

He felt his spiritual power had recovered a bit, so he gently cast Water Mist, followed by Water of Tranquility.

Adrian hadn’t been idle either, the Forest Array isolated a lot of the chaotic divine power, leaving only the time-space divine power spreading beneath their feet.

He had been squatting on the ground, circling around to etch a Defensive Magic Array. It was just necessary to avoid the Divine Array linked to the Temple of Time and Space, which made his calculations very tiresome. He had to rest every so often.

The defensive formation Adrian etched was a single-element one, effective only against the Physical Class, but he also drew a lightning attracting array on the outskirts of the Forest Array, directing all incoming thunder away.

As soon as the Water of Tranquility was cast, Adrian, who had been engrossed in inscribing the array, quickly straightened his back, ”This spell is pretty good! Why didn’t you use it earlier?”

”How long is the CD?” the Old Age Striking King ran over quickly, ”Wait, how often can this skill be used?”

”Once every 12 hours.” Hill said, ”But with the mist, the effect can last for 1 hour.”

”Sisters!” the Old Age Striking King shouted loudly, ”Go all out with your big moves, we’ve only got mana for 1 hour.”

Hill looked speechlessly at the players who, like chickens on steroids, were extravagantly throwing skills into the distance.

Snow Cloud Peak had almost run over in an instant, ”Why not save the massive boost? You have to time the Mana Potion CD right!”

”Hill came up with a skill that can restore mana for 1 hour,” the Old Age Striking King cut him off, ”I’m not dumb, you don’t need to tell me that.”

Snow Cloud Peak frankly asked, ”How often can it be used?”

”Every 12 hours,” the Old Age Striking King replied to him.

”Later I will arrange for the Mages to cycle the mana restoration.” Snow Cloud Peak said, ”Striking King, keep track of the time for me. Let me know when the 12 hours are up. Don’t let Hill use it recklessly again!”

Hill, listening to this guy making clear arrangements for her, couldn’t help but twist her mouth in frustration.

Ella asked softly, ”Is this the leader of the Undead Tribe?”

”No, he’s the battle commander,” the Old Age Striking King answered her plainly, ”We don’t have that leader thing.”

”I don’t seem to have seen any of those hostile families around,” Hill suddenly remembered.

”Hehe~~” the Old Age Striking King suddenly laughed, holding her waist.

Hill watched the giggling Little Loli, somewhat perplexed.

”Snap!” Someone slapped her, it was Xiao Liuliu.

”Liu Liu, how did you get here?” the Old Age Striking King almost jumped, ”Weren’t you at the Temple?”

”The Temple is fine.” Xiao Liuliu answered succinctly, ”William asked all Loli Priests to come here. Adult females don’t need to come over. What are you laughing about?”

”Heh~ Hill was asking why she hasn’t seen those idiots from Doomsday,” said the Old Age Striking King adorably tilting her head, tugging at the Bell hairpin in her golden hair.

”Because they caused trouble during the battle of the Black and White Path, they lost a lot of military exploits and didn’t get assigned to this mission,” Xiao Liuliu said with a smile, ”Anyway, because of this, a lot of girls left. Those free limited-edition clothes and hairstyles—they’re just gone, such a pity.”

”When the women leave, the bootlickers will follow,” the Old Age Striking King shot a flirty look over, ”Let’s wait and see them cry and disband!”

Hill laughed joyfully, taking out a ton of snacks and drinks, ”Heard some good news, time to celebrate.”

The girls quickly ran over, grabbed some refreshments, and returned to their spots.

Ella looked surprised as Hill took out enough food and drinks to satisfy thousands of people, filling the open space in front of her.

Hill was a little surprised to see many pretty boy Priests coming to get the food—since they were a bit far from here, she hadn’t noticed them.

Did she think there were no male Priests here? Didn’t Striking King just call out to sisters?

Hill shook her head, realizing that indeed when there are particularly many girls, men will consciously fade into the background, not to invite trouble upon themselves.

However, it seemed that both adult males and females were gradually leaving the Forest Array.

What is William thinking? Is it easier to maneuver when small? Won’t be blocked by branches?

”Those two restrictions of the Elf are absolutely inviolable,” Ella explained to the confused Hill, ”Don’t think that just because they dare to betray nature, they would break those two restrictions. For them, not being able to become an Elf in the next life is a fate worse than death.”

Not to harm the young or cut down trees, right?

Hill watched the roiling waves of Loli and pretty boy Priests, realizing indeed the Elves had never attacked this place.

Did William, while fighting in the sky, notice that Elves would bypass the Undead that looked like children and therefore changed his strategy?

So, elves don’t care about not receiving Nature’s Blessing at birth, but absolutely can’t stand the thought of being reborn as another race?

”What a piece of crap! Next life you should turn into a maggot!” The Old Age Striking King’s curses were exactly to Hill’s liking.

Adrian returned, having finished carving his defensive formation.

He picked up a bottle of drink, plopped down on the ground, and started drinking.

He looked really tired from all that calculating!

As his mana nearly recovered, Hill cast a few more Water mist and Tide Dance Moon Welcoming spells to restore life force.

He felt that if the Temple couldn’t be taken down, the members of the Undead Tribe could still resurrect quickly and run back through underground tunnels. And then probably, the Dwarves’ God of Smithing would also come after William.

Those guys were capable of starting fires.

”Is there anything I can do?” Ella, noticing the spells Hill was casting, asked sensitively.

”How long can your Fireproof Barrier last?” Hill turned and asked Adrian, ”We can’t add any other defensive formations here, can we?”

”No way,” Adrian shook his head, ”The Divine Power here is too strong; only physical defense formations can be imprinted. Didn’t you see my lightning attracting array is carved on the outermost part? The element fluctuations are too strong.”

”As long as it’s not broken, it can last 8 hours,” Ella said, ”This is also my Talented Spell.”

Hill immediately asked her to cast the Fireproof Barrier around the Forest Array’s perimeter, which was way stronger than the Undead’s half-hour version.

Hill watched eagerly for a while; having Fire Element Runes didn’t mean he could use instant Fire Element Spells.

It just reduced some spell casting time and mana consumption.

But with Hill’s scarce runes, at best he could spend 2 seconds to conjure a big fireball.

Hill suspected even Boen could conjure fireballs faster than him.

But he used to need 6 seconds, so this was already an improvement.

However, Ella’s casting of the Fireproof Barrier, with just a wave of her hand, made a big area at once, which made him a bit envious.

Adrian sitting there started chuckling: ”You really should take a good look at your own expressions, Hill.”

Hill couldn’t help but give him a white look: ”Don’t you also wish you could make beautiful Alchemy Devices effortlessly like me?”

”Ah!” Adrian leaned back against the tree, stretching, ”I wish I could get an all-rounder apprentice, maybe then the teacher would let me off the hook!”

Hill couldn’t be bothered with him, Master Fran wouldn’t care about the apprentice Adrian took on! He would only mentor Adrian himself.

Their precautions turned out to be very useful, as the Dwarves’ God of Smithing indeed got involved.

He wielded a huge hammer, striking at William.

William summoned the Divine Artifact Tablet, transforming it into a Giant Shield, automatically defending against the God of Smithing’s assault.

Another Dwarven Racial God seemed to still be attacking the Temple of Time and Space.

Hill looked worriedly at William in the sky; he hadn’t been talking nonsense for a long time, was he struggling?

”Master Fran is retreating this way,” said Ella, having finished casting the Fireproof Barrier.

Adrian quickly sprang up, and together with Hill, walked to the outskirts to look.

Indeed, Fran approached rapidly. There was also a Legendary Knight following him—Hill remembered him; he was a member of the Saral Royal Family.

Fran directly signaled the few who ran out to go inside the Forest Array.

He stood on the outside, strengthening the two formations set up by Adrian before coming in.

”Don’t worry,” Fran shook his head, ”His Majesty the King told us to either leave or come here.”

Therefore, the other legendary figures just left directly, with only Fran, who was worried about the two of them, and the Legendary Knight who was concerned about William, coming this way.

Fran glanced outside: ”There won’t be fewer legends out there; this place might be safer.”

Hill clenched the pendant on his chest, glancing at Fran.

Fran shook his head at him: ”Don’t worry. I truly think it’s safer here, otherwise dragging you and Adrian along, my speed wouldn’t be much slower.”
