Chapter 421 Chapter421-Incredible Power
Having summoned the Mystery Prophet and carrying all his most precious spell scrolls, Darklord was ready to face Blue Sea in a decisive battle, fully aware that John could appear at any moment.
Darklord returned to the guild hall and, with an expressionless face, said to Blue Sea, "I am fully prepared. The Guild Battle can start at any time!"
The smile on Blue Sea\'s face faded, keenly aware that he would have to withstand Darklord\'s assault alone for a while: "No problem, let the Guild Battle begin!"
With the confirmation from both guild leaders, the Guild Battle between Blue Sea Guild and Darklord\'s guild officially started.
Storm City would not protect any member of the two guilds.
Until the end of the Guild Battle, members from both guilds could attack each other anywhere within Storm City\'s territory.
At the very instant the Guild Battle began, Darklord unleashed [Pain Sphere].
A purple-black orb of energy hurtled towards Blue Sea at a tremendous speed.
Blue Sea, being a top-tier player, wasn\'t fazed by such an attack.
He drew his Sea God Sword. With a swing of the Sea God Sword, a blue barrier appeared in front of him.
The purple-black Pain Sphere hit the blue barrier and instantly dissipated.
"If this is the extent of your strength, then I don\'t even need John. I can crush your guild all by myself!" Blue Sea taunted.
Blue Sea, having effortlessly countered Darklord\'s initial attack, grew more confident, believing he might not even need John\'s assistance to handle Darklord.
However, the subsequent attacks from Darklord quickly made Blue Sea realize his judgment had been significantly flawed.
Darklord wasn\'t surprised when his Pain Sphere attack failed.
He was well aware that, as a top guild leader, Blue Sea\'s abilities were formidable.
Darklord\'s initial attack was merely a probe to assess Blue Sea\'s level of vigilance.
Having gauged Blue Sea\'s alertness, Darklord now planned to reveal his true power.
Darklord pulled out his frequently used [Mystic Glow Wand].
Slamming the wand onto the ground, a surge of intense Arcane power erupted from the point where the wand met the earth.
This power transformed into numerous Arcane sigils, all aiming at Blue Sea.
Facing Darklord\'s Arcane assault, Blue Sea felt a significant strain.
Even without using the Mysterious Wand, Darklord was a powerful mage player.
Blue Sea continuously used the power of the Sea God to block the onslaught and tried to counterattack with Sea God spells during his defense.
However, Blue Sea\'s counterattacks were ineffective. Darklord, a formidable mage, was highly skilled in dealing with magical attacks.
"Do you regret refusing to cooperate with me now? If you had teamed up with me, we could have perfectly combined our strengths to eliminate John," Darklord taunted, indicating that even without the use of the mysterious wand, he was a force to be reckoned with.
His demonstration of power was a clear message to Blue Sea about the missed opportunity for a powerful alliance.
John must possess numerous Sacred Relics.
We could have divided them all between us. But you chose to be my enemy, so pay the price!"
Darklord vehemently complained about Blue Sea\'s refusal to cooperate with him.
As he grumbled, he continued to wave his wand, unleashing one powerful Arcane spell after another.
Blue Sea, while using his Sea God Sword to provide additional defensive strength, also employed Sea God spells to forcibly resist Darklord\'s Arcane magic.
"I could never collaborate with you! It\'s not just because of John, but also because of who you are. Don\'t think that your conspiracies are unknown to everyone!"
Blue Sea\'s words hinted that he was aware of Darklord\'s cooperation with the forces of Mystery. Darklord could clearly infer the meaning behind Blue Sea\'s statement.
Thus, Darklord\'s murderous intent was now fully revealed; he believed he could not let Blue Sea escape.
If Blue Sea spread the word about his cooperation with Mystery, Darklord would then face the hostility of the entire Order Faction.
"Since you refuse to cooperate with me, then die!"
Darklord angrily delivered his final words to Blue Sea, then raised the [Mystic Glow Wand] high into the air.
The Mystic Glow Wand, suspended mid-air, released an intense radiance, its multicolored light transforming into corresponding Arcane spells.
Under Darklord\'s guidance, these spells converged into a singular point, then erupted with astonishing power.
A blindingly bright white light, guided by Darklord, shot directly towards Blue Sea.
Facing Darklord\'s full-powered strike, Blue Sea now felt a tinge of regret.
He had promised John that he would handle Darklord\'s attacks alone for a while, but he hadn\'t anticipated Darklord\'s strength to be so formidable.
He even doubted whether his Sea God Sword could withstand Darklord\'s Arcane assault.
The dazzling white light reached Blue Sea in an instant.
Instinctively, he raised his Sea God Sword to block it, but upon contact, the sword shattered.
The white light, undiminished, was about to hit Blue Sea.
Blue Sea instinctively closed his eyes and turned his head, attempting to dodge.
However, after a few seconds, he felt no impact from the Arcane attack.
When he reopened his eyes, he saw John standing in front of him.
John had used [Abyssal Prison] to effortlessly block Darklord\'s powerful Arcane attack.
He even had the composure to turn around and joke with Blue Sea.
"I told you before. Although Darklord\'s character is questionable, his strength is not to be underestimated. Facing him alone, you were bound to run into serious trouble."
John\'s arrival drew everyone\'s attention.
After speaking to Blue Sea, John turned his gaze towards Darklord.
"As for you, I remember telling you that I would seek revenge.
I don\'t think I can completely eliminate you this time. But consider this the beginning of my revenge!"
Darklord, facing the sudden appearance of John, seemed a bit hesitant, as if pondering over a complex puzzle.
"You\'re probably wondering why the traps you set for me didn\'t work, right? I can tell you they did work. However, I\'ve destroyed all the remaining traps you laid out. The so-called top players you prepared in advance didn\'t pose any threat to me. DARK EDGE, the assassin player you trust so much? Not only did he fail to threaten me, but he also couldn\'t even withstand one of my skills."
John knew exactly what Darklord was thinking and voiced it out.
"You don\'t really think you can win, do you? Even if you are incredibly powerful, I am not without my own trump cards!"
Darklord hadn\'t given up yet; he still believed he had a chance to turn the tables.
John smiled, "Really? And what might your trump card be? Would you care to share with us? Although I know what it is, your subordinates here seem to be in the dark."
Darklord understood what John was implying.
His trump card was the Mysterious Wand and the support of the Mystery faction.
He could use these cards when facing John alone.
However, the situation was different now; it wasn\'t just John, but also other members of his guild present.
The members of Darklord\'s guild were unaware of his allegiance to Mystery.
If his subordinates learned of his allegiance to Mystery, they might spread this information to the guards of Storm City.
While the individual strength of Storm City\'s guards might not be overwhelming, their numbers were considerable, and they would relentlessly pursue Darklord if alerted to his betrayal.
Amidst Darklord\'s dilemma, John decided not to waste any more time.
The duration of the Guild Battle wasn\'t long, and he intended to use this opportunity to exact as much retribution on Darklord as possible.
"Since you\'re not keen on answering that question, let\'s leave it be. Our Guild Battle has already begun, so prepare yourself for my attack!"
John, harnessing the power of the Sea God, conjured a green spear and, without hesitation, hurled it towards Darklord. Darklord, caught off guard, was struck by the spear.
In the moment of impact, he could feel the power of space magic imbued in the green spear.
The confrontation between John and Darklord, taking place amidst the Guild Battle, had reached a critical juncture.
With John\'s display of power and Darklord\'s hesitance to reveal his true allegiance, the battle\'s outcome hung in a delicate balance, with potential ramifications not just for the individuals involved but possibly for the broader alignments within Storm City.
