The red-eyed orc leader brandished a mace composed of fragments of the stone tablet.
After being possessed by General Stone Tablet, the orc leader’s height at least doubled.
The impact at that time was like a heavy truck.
It was no wonder that other lords felt desperate.
After the impact of Lyra’s oath, the shield guards who acted as the offensive force were indeed in a state of exhaustion.
The shield guards would not be able to regain their combat capability in a short period of time.
Boris led the Flying Tiger Cavalry and galloped over, gathering red light once again.
The Tiger Charge, a legion skill, could not be used continuously by the Flying Tiger Cavalry in a short period.
However, Boris did not care about this at all, trying his best to recover through sheer overdraft.
Toji Hisami watched everyone’s reactions.
Finally, no one let him down.
So he took out the strange book once more.
The pages turned one after another.
Finally, it stopped on page four.
This page depicted a strange ball of thread. If one looked closely, they would find that the lines were clearly moving.
This was a pattern composed of countless lines.
Toji Hisami pressed his other hand on the page, and his own magic power began to surge.
The Strange Walker had originally given Toji Hisami the Book of Strangeness, an artifact that could imprint ten skills regardless of grade.
Before the gods drove Toji Hisami away, he had boldly opened the strange book.
The four gods present at that time were all reflected in the strange book by him.
He did not know if the gods had noticed this, but since the gods did not stop him, he took it as tacit approval.
The skill on the page at this time came from the mysterious ancestor.
[Heart of Chaos]
[God-level skill. After release, it will disrupt the minds of enemies in the designated area, causing them to fall into madness.]
[Branded One: Mysterious Ancestor, active, release times 0/2]
Two chances to use.
After Toji Hisami’s magic power poured in, the pages of the book suddenly flickered, and the ball of thread suddenly appeared in the outside world.
"Everyone close your eyes."
Although this skill relied on Toji Hisami to identify enemies, the indescribable ball of thread was truly incomprehensible and carried an unnerving, bizarre feeling.
Toji Hisami simply had everyone close their eyes.
Boris, who had just arrived, was the first to close his eyes.
He, who had an extraordinary background, was extremely shocked at this moment.
"I can’t even count how many times I was shocked today."
However, every time Toji Hisami made a move, it opened his eyes to the point where he now even witnessed a divine skill.
Yes, Boris felt the aura of a divine skill emanating from that strange ball of thread.
The skills of gods were divine skills.
Just like a piece of equipment that held the projection of a god’s power could be called an artifact, divine skills could also be released by humans, but their source had to come from the gods.
After the thread ball appeared in the air, all the orcs’ movements stopped, even the commander being no exception.
Toji Hisami could even hear the orcs’ heartbeats speeding up.
As the thread grew more twisted, all the orcs suddenly went mad.
They picked up the weapons in their hands and struck down at their companions!
The orc leader even grabbed the crystal on his forehead and tore out the flesh, blood, and meridians.
After the crystal left the body, it immediately attracted all the surrounding stone tablet fragments, re-condensing them into General Stone Tablet.
The two bosses started to confront each other directly, punching one another so hard that blood and stones flew everywhere.
Only the humans on Toji Hisami’s side were left in the entire valley.
At the moment, they kept their eyes closed, listening to the roars and the muffled sounds of blades entering flesh from around them, their heartbeats inevitably accelerating.
Some people could not help but want to open their eyes, but they heard Boris’s voice.
"If you don’t want to have nightmares for the rest of your life, you’d better keep your eyes closed."
The warning in this sentence was severe, and it immediately dispelled everyone’s curiosity.
Toji Hisami slowly closed the book. The magic power in his body had exceeded the critical point and was almost exhausted.
Even with the help of the Arcane Ring and the Book of Strangeness, unleashing a divine skill at this level was still somewhat strenuous for him.
After releasing the B-level fusion magic earlier, he had remained calm and composed, but now he looked truly pale.
Lyra walked slowly from behind and supported Toji Hisami’s back.
Toji Hisami was a little surprised. He had not expected that Lyra did not close her eyes.
Lyra’s expression remained as indifferent as an iceberg, completely unmoved by the weird thread.
This reminded Toji Hisami of the introduction he received when he acquired the statue of Lyra.
She was a soul born from the depths of the soul world, a place even the gods could not see through.
"No matter, she is naturally indifferent to this strange ball of thread belonging to the mysterious ancestor..."
Orcs and gargoyles fought among themselves.
This time, nothing could stop them.
When Toji Hisami saw that Lyra was fine, he simply sat down on the ground and closed his eyes to regain his energy.
After running around all day today, he had first harvested an A-level light beam, and now he had secured an S-level light beam as well.
Even though he had remained very calm, he actually felt a little tired.
The overall situation had been decided. Even if one side of the orcs and gargoyles fell, the other side would simply continue killing each other.
He began to review the environment of the valley in his mind, along with everything that had happened after arriving there.
Because of the presence of the light pillar, the sky they saw was always bright.
Only when the light beam disappeared could one truly see the night.
From entering the valley, to meeting the lords of the alliance, to the appearance of the orcs, and finally to the mountain fire.
Toji Hisami felt that the arrival of the mountain fire was far too sudden and unusual.
Outside the valley, someone or something must have been waiting in ambush.
So he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked everyone to plug their ears and seize the time to rest.
Following this order, everyone complied.
Once the sounds of fighting in their ears subsided, they all felt fatigue wash over them like a tidal wave.
One by one, they collapsed onto the ground and fell fast asleep. After a short while, the sound of snoring drowned out what remained of the conflict.
In the tragic environment of the valley, it looked extremely absurd.
Toji Hisami instructed the shield guards to rest in batches, as they only needed half an hour to recover their basic abilities.
Since he concluded that enemies were still waiting outside the valley, he had to ensure the shield guards got enough rest.
Boris said no, explaining that his Flying Tiger Cavalry had only charged for a single round and were not pushed to the point of weakness.
After hearing Toji Hisami’s instructions, Boris also realized that something was amiss outside.
He could not help but think of someone he had encountered before coming here.
"Well, now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression..."
Boris described it directly to Toji Hisami, briefly recounting how he had spotted Zhao Kai outside the valley.
Although Zhao Kai had been hiding in the dark at the time and could not be seen clearly, it was certain that the lord and his subordinates had been present.
Toji Hisami nodded after receiving confirmation from Boris.
Then everything made sense.
No matter what the people outside thought, since he had set this fire, he had no intention of making things easy for anyone inside.
Now, because of the brutal fighting in the valley, people outside would not dare to enter for a while, giving them ample time to rest.
Toji Hisami could not sleep when he thought of this, so he simply took out a gold card.
After the S-level light beam was broken, all the rewards had been funneled into this gold card.
[Lord Trial S-level reward card]
