The Oath Keepers fought desperately, and although their output was far from Zheng Yichen’s, there were enough of them that even if one person was only one thousandth as effective as Zheng Yichen, with enough numbers, they could match several of him.
But the problem was that there were still too few Oath Keepers here compared to the ever-increasing Oath monsters.
The Dusk rcenaries were also trying ranged attacks, but without Oath Power, their inherent resistance when fighting against the haze was much lower than that of the native Oath Keepers, although they did receive a blessing from the Eye Pupil of Life as soon as they approached the haze.
However, they were not affected by the Oath, and their passion for protecting the world was not as strong. There were occasionally fervent Dusk rcenaries, but their numbers were few.
"We ultimately have too little ti. If we could persuade more Oath Keepers, then there’d be a chance to quickly eliminate this Oath Beast," sighed a Dusk rcenary. The Oath Keepers had shown strong combat power, but whether or not they could turn the tide still depended on the Proxy Agents in the haze.
"At least the growth rate of this Oath Beast has been suppressed. The Boundary Breakers really tried every trick in the book, and that haze looks very much like the haze from an anomaly, right? But it seems to have undergone so mutation..."
"That’s still good news. At least those without anomaly adaptability can enter the fray, as long as they can withstand the discomfort of being dissolved."
The Dusk rcenaries quickly exchanged information. Among them were those skilled in electronic technology who had already begun to manipulate online public opinion. Electronic technology was a mandatory skill for the Dusk rcenaries, who, even without high-end hacking ability, needed to have so grasp of it.
At the very least, they had to equip themselves with a powerful computer. Not sothing that was always necessary, but at least when they went to a modernized world, it could be imnsely useful.
They were manipulating online public opinion to guide more Oath Keepers to their location, and it was surprisingly effective. The power of Oath Keepers was easy to co by, but due to the influence of the Oaths, they had to act on certain issues, right?
That’s easy—just remain unaware of certain matters. However, with enough online public opinion, those "uninford" Oath Keepers had to take corresponding actions, as they didn’t want to break their Oaths.
"It’s a pity that this world has suffered too much damage; otherwise, we could have made a bigger impact with online public opinion."
The big explosions hadn’t released a strong electromagnetic pulse, but they still impacted the environnt, causing great destruction to the land and constant earthquakes. Fortunately, the world’s technology level was fairly good, and satellites were still operational.
So more quick-witted Dusk rcenaries started luring monsters. The effect of the bait still existed, but its range of attraction was limited. They specifically tried to attract so Oath monsters from farther away. As long as they reached the range of the bait, those Oath monsters would charge over of their own accord.
The Dusk rcenaries were not lacking in wisdom. Unable to directly enter the haze, they were still able to cleverly solve problems in various ways.
Of course, these thods could only temporarily alleviate so of the situation; they were rely a stopgap solution. In the end, they simply didn’t have enough ti. If they had discovered the Boundary Breakers’ conspiracy earlier, eliminating those destruction bombs in advance could have weakened the power of the Oath Beast.
Or, by taking a more extre approach—if the Oath Beast’s ’world-annihilating’ behavior linked to destruction would strengthen the Oath Beast, then by completing the annihilation of the world first, before those linked destructions took effect, the Oath Beast wouldn’t gain too much strength, right?
The idea was sound, but the possibility of implenting it was too low.
"Why are there so many chains—" As Zheng Yichen’s big black cleaving saber cut through the Chains of Oath, the rampaging tentacles around him imdiately collapsed, making the dangerous environnt around him safe once more. The tentacles weren’t important; it was the Chains of Oath that mattered.
Even if he was wrapped in tentacles, as long as he could cut through the Chains of Oath, he could ignore those attacks. Zheng Yichen had already gained enough experience. However, this thing wasn’t a normal lifeform; it didn’t produce demonic thoughts, so the burst of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills had no extra effect on it.
It might be better to consider endurance, as in a Blood Sacrifice Burst.
Thermal vision was also useless in this environnt. This Oath Beast seed to be part of the environnt itself, and there weren’t many abnormal heat sources to be seen. He could, however, see the heat sources emitted by allies, each one’s Fervent Blood Life enhanced by the Eye Pupil of Life, making them look like little suns.
But this was only temporary. Fervor has its limits, and once their spirits were exhausted, maintaining Fervent Blood Life would be difficult.
So the focus had to be found.
Crack—
The attack of the Blood Sacrifice Burst hit the Chains of Oath of the largest specification on the Oath Beast, which extended into further regions until they faded.
And they were the most difficult to reach. He had fought his way here just to co into contact with such a Chain of Oath.
The Chain of Oath showed nurous cracks where it was struck, proving its incredible solidity. Nevertheless, under the influence of Counter-Oath Power, the Chain of Oath eventually collapsed.
Zheng Yichen suddenly spewed a large amount of blood from his body, which evaporated on contact with the burning qi film on his body, becoming part of the film.
When an Oath monster kills an Oath Keeper, its power is enhanced, and each chain of the Oath Beast on its body can be considered as an Oath Keeper. Every ti Zheng Yichen severed a chain, the Counter-Oath Power would receive an additional boost.
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have used the Counter-Oath Power to break the oaths, he could have just used the power accompanying the Counter-Oath Power to cut those Chains of Oath instead. That way, the Counter-Oath Power he received wouldn’t backlash against him, because this increase ca from an external source.
But now his condition was like exploiting a bug; after breaking the oath, the continuous consumption of Oath Power resulted in backlash, which the Counter-Oath Power absorbed and transford into more Counter-Oath Power. This in itself was very uncomfortable for him, and the additional strengthening from severing the Chains of Oath accelerated the intensity of breaking the oath.
Normally, once an oath was broken, all Oath Power should have been drained, a major backlash would hit the one who broke the oath, leaving them half-dead, then they would directly transform into an Oath monster.
But his Oath Power hadn’t been drained up to now, and as he severed more and more Chains of Oath, instead of exhibiting signs of depletion, the drained power of the Oath grew increasingly excessive!
The Counter-Oath Power was also playing a role. As the Oath Power increased, the Counter-Oath Power increased as well, and he, caught in the middle, suffered.
"Ahhh!" The giant saber danced wildly; enhanced by the Counter-Oath Power, it sliced through everything in its path like a ship-cleaving blade, shattering all the tentacles it touched and severing nurous Chains of Oath, causing the massive body of the Oath Beast to visibly cave in.
The mont the Army Decimating battle saber was in hand, Zheng Yichen’s vision was stained crimson, he could no longer maintain normal vision due to the unbearable backlash.
Through the crimson, he saw glass-like cracks appearing at the ends of the severed massive Chains of Oath.
Has the boundary breaking already begun?
The Great World really did handle this power-up bug well. Zheng Yichen was now exploiting a bug using both the Oath Power and the Counter-Oath Power, which was an extraordinarily uncomfortable way of gaining imnse strength, and the Oath Beast was similar. In the midst of their battle, both had activated...
Although without the Counter-Oath Power, it was the Boundary Breakers who first detonated the doomsday weapon linked to the Oath Beast, raising its initial strength. Once this creature’s power increased, it, as a Boundary Breaking core, began to accelerate its function.
Breaking the boundary would inevitably bring trendous damage to this world, which also complied with the ’Oath of World Annihilation.’ Therefore, this Oath Beast could receive an unprecedented boost, no wonder the Great World preferred not to use this thod...
Perhaps the upper limit of power in the Great World was extrely high, but by pulling the Oath Beast over, it received a ’experience pack’ provided by a world. With this experience pack, even if the Oath Beast’s power wasn’t top-tier in the Great World, it would beco unimaginably tricky.
Damn it, the more I want to send this thing to the Great World... That is if I really had a chance to spare.
Unfortunately.
The ’glass cracks’ at the ends of the broken Chains of Oath did not last long, disappearing soon after the chains completely vanished.
Seeing this, Zheng Yichen no longer hesitated and quickly rushed to another location, continuing to shatter other Chains of Oath.
The base color of his cat spirit cloak was no longer visible, the cloak had reversed its nature, turning from a Curse object into a Spirit of Blessing. The Spirit of Blessing attempted to accelerate the healing of Zheng Yichen’s wounds, maintaining his physical condition, but the effect was not significant.
"Fuck—" Zheng Yichen roared, swinging his big black cleaving saber towards the sky. A large amount of Counter-Oath Power poured into this strike, and a greenish fire cloud erged from the sky, briefly contending with the fog before being swallowed by it. Amidst the fire cloud, nurous Fireballs fell.
The Hillfire taking the form of Hellfire erged from the Fireballs. These counterfeit versions of Hellfire had beco more potent after Zheng Yichen obtained a small amount of the power of Hell from the fallen black dragon and summoned them once more.
These Hellfires started to dissolve upon landing, but the flas on them temporarily protected them, allowing them to attack the Oath Beast at maximum speed. Many Hellfires landed on the Oath Beast.
Targeting the closest Chains of Oath.
Zheng Yichen’s features were twisted; he felt that the Counter-Oath Power, which had been significantly depleted, was rapidly recovering. The Oath Power was also very active, its acceleration never slowed down but beca faster and faster.
He had diverted the Counter-Oath Power into those Hellfires, so why should the damage to the Chains of Oath be attributed to him?
Zheng Yichen reluctantly diverted again, refreshing a wave of intensive Hellfire. However, this thod could only alleviate his own state. Sustain this operation for long? He couldn’t; he was running out of souls.
