539 Chapter539-A Critical Battle
With the Dark Faction's successful breach of the Storm City walls, immense chaos engulfed the city's interior. Every member of the Order Faction within Storm City heightened their vigilance.
Meanwhile, the non-combatant NPCs and lower-level players in Storm City were in a frantic rush towards the teleportation points, hoping to escape to other safe locations as quickly as possible.
The actions of these non-combatant NPCs and lower-level players further exacerbated the chaotic situation in Storm City. All the city guards were now in a state of panic, trying to manage the current crisis.
John was currently in the eastern district of Storm City, searching for traces of Duke Arsena. While on the hunt for Duke Arsena, he was also discussing with others what steps should be taken next.
Natasha, the guard general sent by the Northern Myst Empire, had decided to stop searching for Duke Arsena. Instead, Natasha chose to return to the eastern city wall, planning to block the onslaught of demons from the Dark Faction there.
"I can no longer afford to search for Duke Arsena; that task I'll leave to you. I must go and block the attack from the Dark Faction's demons. My subordinates are already fighting with all their might, and I too must commit fully to the battle," Natasha made it a point to inform John before taking action. After all, in Natasha's view, John was a significantly important ally who could offer her the support she needed.
Meanwhile, Shatras, who was in the western district of Storm City searching for Duke Arsena, glanced at the nearest city wall and a look of deep concern appeared on his face.
In Shatras's opinion, it seemed they should no longer be searching for Duke Arsena. Continuing the search would only waste their precious time.
Therefore, Shatras chose to teleport directly to John's side. She wanted to have a serious discussion with John about how they should proceed in battle, as she believed the upcoming fight was of utmost importance.
"We can no longer afford to search for Duke Arsena. Even if he has already fled, we must continue to fight. You should prepare yourself for the upcoming attacks from the formidable demons of the Dark Faction."
Shatras felt that the situation was dire, and thus, she straightforwardly expressed her thoughts. John appeared somewhat conflicted in response.
He believed that it was still essential to find Duke Arsena, as, in his view, the Duke's sudden disappearance suggested he might possess critical information.
If the information Duke Arsena held could significantly aid their forthcoming battle, it was imperative they learn it as swiftly as possible.
"This time, you won't be able to escape! You despicable worm!" The Corruptor's curse-laden voice echoed in the ears of all members of the Order Faction.
Almost all members of the Order Faction felt as though the Corruptor was addressing them, but only John could discern that the Corruptor's words were indeed aimed at him. Of course, the Corruptor was referring to John, as he was the only one who had previously managed to escape from the Corruptor's assault.
Facing the Corruptor's full onslaught, John remained remarkably calm. He felt confident in his ability to cope, at least certain he wouldn't be directly annihilated by the Corruptor.
John promptly brought out the Book of the Astral Realm. With the aid of the book, he unleashed an enhanced version of the Abyssal Prison. The power of the space seal formed by the Abyssal Prison created a barrier.
This barrier was akin to a pane of glass suddenly appearing in the air, which, despite seeming incredibly fragile, contained an immensely powerful defensive force.
The blade, capable of inflicting true damage launched by the Corruptor, failed to penetrate the barrier created by John. However, it did manage to inflict a crack upon John's barrier, showcasing the formidable power behind the attack.
"It seems your strength has indeed improved since our last encounter! However, you will definitely not be able to repeat the same tactics as before! I already know exactly how you, this worm, intend to win!"
Corruptor was slightly surprised that John could successfully block his attack, but he still believed his mission would not fail this time. Corruptor was well aware that this operation involved more than just one Devil; in fact, two other Devils within the Dark Faction were waiting for their opportunity to strike.
Besides the three powerful Devils, the Dark Realm had also dispatched a considerable number of high-ranking demons this time. Although John had eliminated the three demon generals at the southern seaport, at least one demon general remained ready to join the battle immediately. This demon general was none other than the Dark Magus, who had successfully escaped from the battle at the southern seaport.
After Corruptor finished speaking, the figure of the Dark Magus appeared directly on the walls of Storm City, holding a wand familiar to Shatras. This wand was commonly used within the Naga tribe, known for its ability to unleash the wielder's full marine attribute powers.
However, the wand also had a significant drawback: its use would invariably attract the Sea God's attention. The Dark Magus wielding such a wand puzzled Shatras slightly. The Sea God was clearly a deity of the Order Faction; could it be that the Dark Faction was not afraid of the Sea God's wrath?
