Over-Tier Strength

‘How is this possible?’

Irena’s face was pale, and the hand holding her staff trembled slightly.

The spell just now was one of the strongest moves she had ever seen.

For Jianye to be able to cast it was already miraculous.

But it still failed to interrupt the fusion.

Leon and Land gripped their weapons tightly, cold sweat beading on their foreheads. Their bodies instinctively entered a state of high alert.

The aura of the monster before them far surpassed any enemy they had ever encountered, even giving them a sense of insignificance, as if facing a natural disaster.

Jianye gasped for breath. The spell just now had consumed a great deal of her magical power.

She stared at the Evil Spirit Knight, her delicate brows furrowed.

“It’s not a complete body, but it has stepped over the threshold of Over-Tier.”

The good news: it wasn’t a complete body.

The bad news: even if it wasn’t a complete body, it had already reached Over-Tier strength.

Even if all five of them, all skilled at fighting above their level, worked together, they could at best defeat a peak Top-Tier.

But the gap between Over-Tier and peak Top-Tier was not small.

Their hopes of victory were slim.

‘Just as I thought.’

Compared to the others, Black was much calmer.

He stared at the Evil Spirit Knight in front of him, lost in thought.

As the most troublesome villain in the second chapter, aside from the Dragon King of Madness, this necromancer truly lived up to his name.

Worthy of being a “mechanic monster,” he could still fuse the Evil Spirit Knight even in this situation.

In the game, the first night’s spell puppet wasn’t too difficult to deal with.

But on the second night, the necromancer’s summoning of the Evil Spirit Knight was a hundred percent successful.

Many players had tried all sorts of methods: setting traps, using oracles from the start, controlling it with a full combo, using super high-tier scrolls to one-shot it…

But none of them could stop him from fusing the Evil Spirit Knight.

It made many players so angry that they posted on the official forums, complaining that the design of this monster was unreasonable, causing quite a stir.

Black’s original plan was also.

First, to seriously injure the opponent with the magic trap explosion, then have everyone attack together. Under the attack of Jianye’s Elemental Torrent, he should have been killed for sure.

At the very least, his casting should have been interrupted.

But it was a pity. He had still underestimated this “mechanic monster.”

Even after being repeatedly interrupted, he had still managed to fuse the Evil Spirit Knight.

Damn that developer. If he hadn’t left himself a backup plan, this would have been really troublesome.

Staring at the neighing Evil Spirit Knight, Black analyzed the combat strength of both sides.

He finally came to a conclusion: there would be no casualties within 5 minutes.

That meant he only had 5 minutes.

Very short, but it was enough.

Thinking of this, he silently tore open the magic scroll [Puppet Art].

Something changed.

As everyone’s nerves were stretched taut, the Evil Spirit Knight moved.

Its movements were slow, not as fast as one might have imagined.

Running away seemed like a good option, but no one present dared to run.

No one dared to turn their back on an Over-Tier monster.

“Over-Tier, huh? I’d like to see just how capable you really are.”

Leon swallowed, suppressed the nervousness in his heart, and tightened his grip on the longsword in his hand.

He wasn’t afraid of death, just afraid that the girls at Drunken Breeze would cry their hearts out after he died.

For the girls, he had to live.

“This salary isn’t for nothing.”

Land didn’t have as many flowery words as him, just resolutely raised his long spear.

“For my girls and your fiancée, let’s go!”

The two of them, one from the left and one from the right, erupted with all their spiritual power and were the first to attack!

Irena followed closely behind. The staff in her hand lit up, and she cast a high-tier spell to support the attack.

A high-tier ice spell, Ice Cone, was cast.

Dozens of ice cones, trailing flames, shot towards the necromancer.

Jianye, after recovering a little magical power, began to chant quickly!

Several “golden chains” shot out from the ground, winding towards the Evil Spirit Knight’s four hooves, trying to restrict its movement.

The attacks of the four people swept towards this monster from different directions.

But the Evil Spirit Knight didn’t dodge or evade any of them.

It just casually swung the giant shield in its right hand from side to side.

“Clang! Clang!”

Two deafening explosions!

Leon’s all-out longsword was struck by the shield’s face. The terrifying force instantly numbed his entire arm.

His longsword flew out of his hand, and he was sent stumbling sideways.

Land’s concentrated thrust was deflected by the edge of the shield.

The force sent his spear completely off course, leaving him wide open.

He was kicked flying by a hoof!

At the same time, the lance in its left hand was so fast it was only a black afterimage, striking several times in the air.

“Pfft pfft pfft!”

The ice cones shot by Irena were accurately shattered by the tip of the lance, turning into scattered points of magical light in mid-air.

And the golden chains summoned by Jianye had just touched the hooves burning with black flames.

When they melted and evaporated with a sizzle, unable to restrain it at all.

In just one exchange, everyone’s attacks were easily neutralized.

The strength of an Over-Tier was evident.

“Wuuu!”

The two deep green soul flames that represented the Evil Spirit Knight’s eyes flickered, locking onto the two most vulnerable sorcerers.

It did not linger. Its four hooves stamped hard, the ground cracked, and its massive body erupted with a ghostly speed.

It charged straight in the direction of Jianye and Irena!

Its lance was held level, a deep darkness gathering at its tip. The shriek of death was already ringing in their ears!

“Kite, wear it down, don’t fight head-on!”

“Black’s” voice sounded, still calm, but his words were a bit faster.

He cast a protective sword aura. It failed to stop the Evil Spirit Knight, but it did slow down its attack.

Leon and Land regrouped their attack. With their rich combat experience, they harassed it at high speed from the left and right.

Leon’s figure was erratic, his sword light like flowing mercury, specifically aiming for the weak points in the Evil Spirit Knight’s armor, such as the joints and gaps.

After landing a hit, he would immediately retreat, not lingering in the fight.

Land held his long spear, his steps steady. His spear was like a dragon, powerful and heavy, intercepting, stabbing, and slashing, successfully attracting its attention.

Creating an opportunity for the two sorcerers to attack.

The long-range support from the sorcerers arrived quickly.

Wind Blade, Ice Cone, Thunder s*ave, Flame Burst…

Countless high-tier spells came one after another!

“Clang clang clang clang!”

A dense series of metal-on-metal collisions sounded like a downpour.

The Evil Spirit Knight’s reaction was astonishingly fast. The huge tower shield in its hand seemed to have no weight as it blocked left and right.

It blocked all of their attacks, sparks flying from the shield’s face.

The occasional attack that slipped through and landed on its plate armor could only leave a shallow white mark, unable to cause any substantial damage.

The battle fell into a brief stalemate.

The Evil Spirit Knight was a perfect blend of offense and defense, with an absolute advantage in both strength and speed.

But the group cooperated tacitly, their tactics flexible, focusing on kiting and long-range interference.

For a time, they barely managed to hold on, avoiding an instant collapse.

However, everyone could feel the pressure mounting.

The Evil Spirit Knight’s attacks were becoming more and more methodical, each block and counterattack more ferocious.

Leon and Land’s space to dodge was constantly being compressed.

Irena and Jianye’s magical power was rapidly being depleted.
