Online Game: My Decay Drives the Entire Server Crazy

Chapter 122 The Alliance Fights Back Against the Counterattack, and the Decay Domain is Strengthened AgainWhen the Lord of the Abyss fell backward, the impact smashed a crack dozens of meters long into the floor of the entire Abyss Core.

However, it did not stay down as everyone had hoped; instead, it used the force of the impact to absorb all the remaining dark red energy orb fragments inside its body back into the crevices of its crystal structure.

Once those fragments were embedded, the color of the crystal shifted from dark purple to a deeper, ominous dark red, looking like congealed blood heated to the edge of boiling.

Ghost’s warning in the alliance channel was almost synchronized with the Lord of the Abyss rising back up: ”Hidden skill triggered! The Abyss energy Qin Wentian just released has been absorbed by it in reverse, and its power readings are skyrocketing—1.5 times, 2 times, 3 times.

Brother Ye, it’s not in a rage; it’s using that wave of energy from Qin Wentian as a primer to forcibly tear open a gap in its internal seal!”

As Ghost spoke, the body of the Lord of the Abyss began to expand rapidly.

Those twisted faces that had originally been dissolved by the domain re-emerged, greater in number and with more hideous expressions than before.

Several new fissures split open on its back, from which seven or eight brand-new dark red tentacles extended, each tipped with a vertically-pupiled eyeball capable of independent rotation.

Those eyeballs turned toward Lin Ye simultaneously, their pupils reflecting the black-gold light of the domain, as if they were rapidly analyzing the energy structure of the Decay Domain.

The defensive line of the front-row tank classes was torn open immediately under the first wave of impact following the power surge of the Lord of the Abyss.

Several newly spawned Abyss Claw Monsters took advantage of the gap in the line to charge into the rear positions of the healer classes, and the vice-president of War Soul Hall led several melee classes to block them at the cost of their lives.

Among them was a young heavy-armored knight with the ID Tiebi Wujiang, who had become a die-hard fan of Lin Ye after being personally debuffed by him on the cross-server battlefield, and he always volunteered to guard the most dangerous position whenever they ran an Abyss Dungeon.

This time, he used his body to tank the frontal impact of two Abyss Claw Monsters, his HP bar dropping from full to less than 10 percent; the healer classes desperately stacked auras on him, but the Abyss energy of the Abyss Claw Monsters carried a healing reduction effect, cutting each layer of healing in half.

The young player, with shards of the glass health potion he was biting down on falling from the corner of his mouth, stood in front of the line without retreating a single step, shouting hoarsely in the channel, ”Brother Ye, do whatever you need to do, I can still hold on.”

Su Qinghan led the healing squad to reinforce the flank in an emergency.

Under the resonance of the evolved Decay Domain, the coverage area of her purification aura was larger than usual, and the healing reduction effect was forcibly attenuated by more than half within the purification aura.

The priests of the healing squad took the opportunity to heal the front-row tank classes with low HP one by one.

The line was barely patched back together, but the overall defense had been pushed back nearly fifty steps by the power burst of the Lord of the Abyss, and the first line of fortifications on the periphery of the Abyss Core had been trampled into rubble.

The Shadow Demon Dragon dove down from mid-air and unleashed a blast of shadow breath at the newly grown tentacles on the back of the Lord of the Abyss.

The breath hit the outermost tentacle, burning off a third of it from the middle, and dark red Abyss energy sprayed from the severed end, melting a bubbling corrosion pit on the ground.

However, the muscle tissue at the severed end regrew and healed in less than a few seconds, with a regeneration speed much faster than before.

The Shadow Demon Dragon growled low in the channel, its voice clearly strained, saying that the density of the entity’s energy shell was increasing, and the penetration power of its breath was no longer sufficient.

Lin Ye stood where he was, unmoving.

He pushed the power of his Cross-Dimensional Perpetual Decay Domain to ninety percent, and the black-gold light expanded outward with him as the center; wherever the light passed, the traces of Abyss corrosion on the ground began to fade rapidly, and the Abyss energy particles permeating the air were decayed into harmless, inert dust that drifted down slowly.

However, after the seal from the ancient interstellar civilization inside the Lord of the Abyss was forcibly torn open, its overall energy level had crossed a critical point—the domain effect, which previously doubled the Decay rate against Genesis-level targets, could now only maintain about 1.5 times when applied to it; the Decay rate was clearly insufficient.

Lin Ye looked down at his right palm.

He had kept the black-gold fusion energy core, which had condensed when he fused the supreme energies of the three Genesis Gods, in his pocket after having Ghost conduct a preliminary study on it.

He reached into his pocket, and the moment his fingertips touched the surface of the energy core, it suddenly vibrated spontaneously, its frequency perfectly resonant with the master frequency of the Chaos Core inside his body.

He gripped the energy core in his palm and pulled his right hand back out; upon contacting the domain light, the energy core transformed directly from a solid state into a mass of high-density black-gold liquid energy, which seeped into his meridians through his palm and vanished.

The skill panel automatically popped up in his mind, and a new line of green text kept refreshing— ”High-purity cross-dimensional energy supplement detected, current domain power limit increasing, suppression effect gradually recovering from the original 1.5 times until it reaches and exceeds the previous strongest state.”

Lin Ye raised his head, held his right hand out flat in front of him again, and spread his fingers with his palm facing outward.

The coverage area of the Cross-Dimensional Perpetual Decay Domain suddenly expanded outward geometrically, the rate of expansion even faster than during the last evolution.

On Ghost’s monitoring panel, the numbers for the domain radius were jumping too fast for him to report, and the domain suppression effect displayed on the panel against the Lord of the Abyss had already recovered from 1.5 times to 2.4 times, and was still climbing.

The moment the domain pressed down again, the energy exoskeleton that had just surged out of the seal fissures on the body of the Lord of the Abyss began to emit large amounts of white smoke simultaneously, as if it had been doused with strong acid from head to toe.

The newly grown dark red tentacles on its back, which had been whipping crazily toward the alliance positions, were now bound in mid-air by the domain, their whipping speed slowed by at least half; the front-row tanks easily dodged to the side, and when they swung their swords, they sliced through them as if cutting into rotten wood.

The alliance’s defensive line pushed back twenty meters at the very moment the domain pressed back, and the few Abyss Claw Monsters that had broken into the rear lost the power boost from the Lord of the Abyss and were quickly wiped out under the concentrated fire of War Soul Hall and the Casual Player Alliance.

Tiebi Wujiang’s HP bar was finally pulled back above the safety line under Su Qinghan’s continuous healing; he spat out the shards of the glass health potion he had been biting down on, raised his heavy sword, and stood back in the front row.

The ground beneath Lin Ye’s feet had been completely covered by the black-gold light of the domain, and the edge of the light was still continuing to spread outward.

The massive body of the Lord of the Abyss tried to gather power again within his domain, but under the suppression of the domain, the seal fissures on its body not only failed to continue expanding, but instead began to close slowly from the edges toward the center.

That internal seal left behind by the ancient interstellar civilization was being reinforced in reverse by his Decay Domain.

Ghost looked at the still-rising suppression multiplier on the panel and whispered, ”The seal gap it tore open is being welded shut again by your domain.”
