Chapter 490 Each with their own thoughts
Sato walked at the very front.
His sword was still sheathed; he simply rested his hand on the hilt and walked at a leisurely pace.
A rock-armored giant lizard fusion monster pounced from the side.
The monster was over five meters long, its gaping maw filled with jagged, sharp teeth, and it moved at an astonishing speed—its timing was perfect, precisely the moment Sato's foot touched the ground.
Sato didn't even look at it.
Start.
The knife fell.
No one saw how he made the cut.
A flash of cold light was seen, and the monster was cleaved in two while still in mid-air.
Blood was splattered all over the ground, and entrails mixed with bits of flesh were splashed everywhere.
Sato continued walking forward without pausing.
Chishima Rin swept past from the other side, her katana leaving streaks of cold light in the air.
Her movements were as light as a swallow, weaving freely through the monsters. Each swing of her blade precisely pierced the monsters' vital points—eyes, throats, and hearts.
A monster lunged at her, but she dodged to the side, simultaneously slashing her katana upwards and piercing the monster's jaw and skull.
Before the monster could even let out a scream, it collapsed to the ground.
Kobayashi Hikaru stood in the center of the group, without making a move.
But his eyes were always fixed on everything around him—where there was danger, where support was needed, and where an ambush might occur.
He noticed it immediately and then gently reminded him.
"Two at three o'clock."
"At seven o'clock, one came around behind."
"Chishima, the one on your left isn't quite dead yet."
His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clearly audible to those who needed to hear it.
With over three hundred people, their monster-killing speed wasn't much slower than that of over two thousand people.
And no one was injured.
······
Zhang Tianya stood at the very front, carrying a shield.
His shield was covered in the monster's flesh and blood, but he didn't care.
A giant rock golem fusion monster charged at him, swinging its tree trunk-thick arm at him.
The arm was thicker than a person's waist and covered with hard rock. When it hit, it must have had a force of at least several thousand kilograms.
Zhang Tianya neither dodged nor evaded, but raised his shield—
"Bang!!!"
The dull thud made the ears of those around go numb, and some even covered their ears.
The ground beneath Zhang Tianya's feet cracked, and the cracks spread outwards like a spider web.
But he himself remained completely still.
"That's it?" He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The shield was pushed forward with a sudden thrust.
The fusion monster was actually pushed back several steps by him, and fine cracks appeared on its rocky arm.
"Brothers! Charge!"
Behind him, more than two hundred members of the alliance attacked simultaneously.
The light of the skills converged into a torrent, engulfing the fusion monster—fire, frost, lightning, holy light, and various colors of light intertwined, illuminating half the sky.
The monster let out a piercing scream as its body began to disintegrate.
Li Weiwei stood next to Zhang Tianya, waving her staff incessantly.
Instead of attacking, she buffed Zhang Tianya with protective abilities—armor, damage reduction, and health regeneration, layer upon layer, the light almost completely enveloping him.
"Take it easy!" she shouted. "Don't be too reckless!"
Zhang Tianya laughed heartily: "Don't worry! With you here, I won't die!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than another monster pounced on him.
He rushed forward.
······
Ye Yao did not confront them head-on.
She led her guild members, like a group of ghosts, wandering along the edge of the battlefield.
They would squeeze into any available gap.
Wherever there is a lone fusion monster, they swarm it and take it down in seconds.
Ye Yao was at the very front.
Her figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, and each time she appeared, Shadow Fang left a deep wound on the monster.
The blade of the dagger had begun to crack—this weapon wouldn't last much longer.
But she doesn't care.
She moved through the monster horde like a true shadow.
A fusion monster spotted her and turned to pounce.
She sidestepped, glided past it, and simultaneously slashed her dagger upwards, cutting open its abdomen.
Internal organs mixed with blood gushed out all over the ground.
Another one pounced from the side.
She flipped and leaped into the air, twisting in mid-air, and plunged the dagger into its eye socket.
The monster screamed and fell to the ground.
Ye Yao did not answer.
She simply swung the knife even faster.
Almost there, a little faster.
······
Raji charged ahead all by himself, like a mad beast.
"Hahahaha! Come on! Come on!"
He swung his battle axe in a wide arc, each swing accompanied by a whistling sound.
A flying amalgam swooped down, its claws outstretched, ready to snatch him into the sky.
He didn't dodge or evade, but charged straight at her, swinging his axe—
The monster was cleaved in two.
Blood splattered all over him, staining his hair, his face, and his clothes red.
But he also paid a price.
Another fusion monster pounced on him from behind and slapped him on the back with a claw.
"laugh--"
Five deep, bone-revealing wounds appeared instantly, and blood gushed out.
His health dropped by 15%.
"Cool!!!"
He turned and swung his axe again, sending the monster flying. It crashed into a rock and was smashed into a pile of minced meat.
Arjun chased after him desperately, his staff almost leaving afterimages as he swung it.
Healing spells rained down on Raji, but his health continued to drop uncontrollably.
"Can you slow down?!" Arjun screamed at the top of his lungs, "I can't keep up!!!"
Raji ignored him and continued charging forward.
His health was decreasing—70%, 60%, 50%.
His attacks grew higher and higher—each axe blow heavier, faster, and more ruthless than the last.
He's getting mad.
······
Extremely high, above the clouds.
Lin Tian hovered in the air, looking down at everything below.
Looking down from here, those players look as small as ants.
The brilliance of those skills, the fierce battles, the white light that bursts forth upon death—all were condensed into a tumultuous scene.
Celia leaned on his shoulder, yawning boredly.
"Brother Tian, when are we going down? It's so lively down there."
She blinked her eyes, her face full of anticipation. Her two little hands tugged at Lin Tian's collar, shaking it back and forth.
Little White was wrapped around Lin Tian's arm, its golden vertical pupils glowing slightly as it looked down.
It occasionally flicks its tongue, seemingly savoring the pungent smell of blood in the air.
Lin Tian did not answer.
His gaze swept over the players below who had performed exceptionally well—
Emily stood in the center of more than two thousand people, calmly directing everything.
Sato moved through the Dark Ravens, each strike precise and deadly.
Raji charged forward like a madman, with Arjun chasing desperately behind.
Ye Yao led twenty-three people, wandering like ghosts along the edge of the battlefield.
Zhang Tianya, carrying his shield, grinned like a fool.
Those must be the famous SSS-rank or SS-rank talents of the players.
