Chapter 1957: Level 99
Chapter 1957: Chapter 1957. Level 99
When John was about to go and pick up Mammon’s loot, David came in his path. David blocked him while Jeanny went and collected the loot.
John gave David a friendly tap and said,” Good boy.”
When David gave him an angry stare, John said, “The boy I meant is boyfriend, not the boy as when one calls a dog.”
Spring Crown came and said to David, “You do realize his act of explaining is the real insult, don’t you?”
“Stop messing around. The war is not over,” Jeanny said. She had stored all of Mammon’s loot. She asked John, “What’s our next step?”
“Only Satan is left,” John said. “That said, we still need to defeat the underworld force here. So, most of you will stay here and help our army achieve that.”
Joe’s Spectral Plane had ended. They were now back in the normal plane. They looked down at the battling armies. The demons lost morale and received debuff after losing Mammon. They became passive. Even so, the proportion between the underworld force and the defenders was glaring. Out of the five fronts where the devils had been defeated, this front was in the worst situation. The defenders were almost routed. Their number was less than one-tenth of the underworld force.
“Even if all of us stay, that will still be hard to achieve,” David remarked.
“Only Paytowin and Jeanny will come with me to help Jack. The rest of you stay here,” John said. “Don’t worry. Even when outnumbered like that, I believe we can still win. The debuff the demons are under is not your run-of-the-mill curse. I will also leave a summon to help this place.”
“A summon?” David asked.
“He is level 99 now,” Spring Crown said.
“So are you,” John returned.
“Hehe.” The two grinned at one another.
“So am I!” Paytowin proclaimed.
John and Spring Crown didn’t show any reaction to Paytowin’s statement. They didn’t even turn to him.
“Ugh…,” Paytowin wanted to knock the two on the head.
Jeanny tapped Paytowin’s shoulder and said to him, “Congratulations. I’m one level left to catch up.”
Jeanny’s level increased to 98 after defeating Mammon. As for Spring Crown, he was level 98 before fighting Mammon. He reached the highest level after this win. John and Paytowin were level 97 when they left Chris’ Secret Garden. They gained one level after defeating Beelzebub. They gained another level again here.
“Any of you receive a title for being the first to get to level 99?” John asked.
Spring Crown and Paytowin shook their head.
“What a letdown,” John remarked.
“Why are you so confident we are the first? Maybe someone else has already gotten the title,” Paytowin said.
“Don’t make a stupid statement. Do you know how impossible that sounds?” John rebuked. He then pointed his Fallen Apostle’s wand to the army below and started casting. “Let’s see what a level 99 summon looks like.”
The spell formation he was forming this time was even more complex than the ones that summoned the Western and Southern Lords. The others floated there and waited for him to complete his spell because they were also curious about a level 99 summon.
“By the way, we are going to help Jack face Satan. Shouldn’t you save this spell to use against Satan?” Paytowin asked John.
“The army here needs it more,” John answered. “You also use yours. We will figure out another way to fight Satan.”
John finally completed his spell after forming nine runes.
The space directly below them started distorting. Patchy fog appeared all over the distorted space, followed by occasional streaks of lightning. While the players above were fascinated by the phenomenon, they were startled by a roar that caused their souls to tremble. The roar even caused the defenders and demons who fought below to look up.
A pair of scaly claws thrust out of the distorted space. These two claws gripped the edges of the distorted space and started pulling them apart. Following the pull, the distorted space started to tear. From this tear, a dragon’s head with a long neck pierced out.
“Oh… Your top summon is a dragon,” Paytowin remarked.
Right after he finished speaking, a second dragon head came out, then a third.
“Uh… Three dragons?” Paytowin asked.
As the three dragon heads came out, they noticed the three heads had necks ending at the same body. It was a dragon with three heads. It had silver scales with streaks of purple. Once it was out, its three heads uttered another roar. The roar this time shook even the space. The nearby players couldn’t stop their bodies from shaking.
The three-headed dragon was the Northern Lord, the Atomic Hydra. Once it finished roaring, its three heads opened their jaws and unleashed their breath attacks on the demons below.
The breath that came out of the left head was a bright silver. It contained the soul element. The breath from the right head was a dark purple beam containing the chaos element. As for the center head, it unleashed thick lightning. The three beams slammed into the ground below and obliterated a lot of weak demons. Higher-level demons lost a great deal of HP. The breath attacks lasted quite some time. Those who remained showered by the beam received continuous damage every second. It was almost twenty seconds before the breath attacks stopped.
The Atomic Hydra flapped its large wings and shot down like a rocket. It landed where the underworld army was the thickest. It wasn’t afraid of being ganged up on. The ground caved in from its speedy landing. Radiation fog radiated out in a ring shape. Everything touched by this ring received damage and random afflictions.
It then started rampaging among the demons. It was a level 99 eternal grade. Aside from a devil, no demons could contest its strength.
Paytowin punched his left fist into his right palm. He exclaimed, “Okay, I’m pumped! I’m going to show off mine as well!”
He flew down until he was not that far from the defenders below. He then used his level 99 skill, the Infinity System.
The air around him turned blurry. Holographic images started appearing before they formed into objects. These objects were mechs the size of medium-sized monsters. There were a thousand of such mechs. These mechs flew using the jet boosters on their backs. They attacked from a range by shooting rapid-energy bullets from the guns in their left hands. Their right hands were equipped with large chainsaws. These chainsaws emitted flames when the teeth started rolling.
What was special about these mechs was if any of them were destroyed within the first half hour since the Infinity System was activated, a new one would appear to replace the destroyed one. In other words, the number of the mechs would always be one thousand in the first half hour, no matter how many mechs were destroyed. Additionally, these mechs had no duration. They remained in combat until they were destroyed or until the combat ended.
This was not the extent of the Infinity System. It had a secondary effect. All allies within a large vicinity of Paytowin received a tech suit. That’s why Paytowin approached the defenders before activating his skill.
These tech suits had their HP bar. The enemies needed to destroy the tech suit before the wearer could receive damage. If the tech suits were not destroyed, they lasted the entire
battle.
Spring Crown didn’t want to get left behind. He similarly approached the defenders before using his level 99 skill. His skill was called the Dominion of Weapon God.
Like Paytowin’s skill, the Dominion of Weapon God affected a large area and possessed two effects. The first effect granted all allies’ weapons within the affected area a 30% boost to their weapon’s base damage value. As for the enemies, their weapons received a 30% reduction in their base damage value. These buff and debuff lasted one hour.
The second effect of the Dominion of Weapon God was it summoned spirit weapons from all the weapons within its area of effect, including the enemies’ weapons. These spirit weapons attacked everyone considered hostile by Spring Crown. These spirit weapons lasted the entire battle or until they were destroyed.
“Does anyone think it is a coincidence those three have level 99 skills suitable for fighting an army?” Joe asked.
“As long as it is in our favor, I don’t mind coincidences,” David said.
“All right. Jeanny, Paytowin, let’s go!” John called. Neither his summon nor Paytowin’s skill needed them to be here to stay in effect. “We will leave the battle here to the rest of you. Do
not let me down!”
“Go to hell,” David said to John.
David gave Jeanny a farewell hug before rushing down to join the battle. Joe went with him.
John sent his archfiend with them. Spring Crown already joined the battle after activating the
Dominion of Weapon God.
John, Jeanny, and Paytowin gave the battling armies below another look. The situation didn’t look that bad compared to before. It looked promising even. So long as there was no outside interference, the defenders below should be able to defeat the demon army. They then used Chris’ trial discs and teleported away from there.
