#130 - I have a ritual!
Grey Mist World, sixth level.
Inside a crude, temporary camp.
The first wave of battle had already ended.
The forces of Oglan City stationed at the ancient ruins had retreated from the second level of defense all the way to the fifth level.
Relying on the strength of Marquis Albert, they barely managed to guard the entrance to the sixth level.
But how long they could hold out was, at the moment, hard to say.
At this time, wounded soldiers could be seen everywhere in the temporary camp.
Only a small number of transcendents with healing abilities were left, and they had long since exhausted their own healing energy.
They could only distribute healing potions to treat the injuries of the many transcendents.
Fortunately.
Due to the cooperation between Zorn and Oglan City, coupled with Mrs. Mabel's shares in the potion factory.
Oglan City's "Holy Healing Potion" was exceptionally abundant.
While the wounded were being treated.
Inside a simple, spacious tent nearby, many transcendents sat on the ground.
The number of Level 5 transcendents in the tent was noticeably fewer, and even the already scarce Level 6 transcendents were missing one.
The entire tent was filled with a dull and oppressive atmosphere.
At this time, several Level 5 witches entered.
In this battle, the witches' contributions were significant, but their losses were also extremely heavy, with nearly half of the witches dying on the spot.
After a brutal war baptism, the witches entered the simple conference hall of Oglan City.
After summarizing and reviewing the few remaining materials.
Marquis Albert slowly raised his head and said.
"Everyone… Although we have lost many transcendents in this battle, and even lost a Level 6 mentor who made a huge contribution to Oglan City."
"But we also have considerable gains."
"In the confrontation on the fourth level, we killed a Level 6 high priest of the Church and a [Harvester] from St. Sman."
"At the same time, we also killed a large number of members of the Church Knights and ordinary members of the Harvesters."
"At the same time…"
Marquis Albert looked at Zorn and Roseanne in the corner.
"Lord Zorn Corrick and Mentor Roseanne, working together, annihilated four Level 6 transcendents, plus seven or eight knight squads."
As soon as Marquis Albert said this.
For a time, many people looked at Zorn and Roseanne, with expressions of astonishment and doubt.
They had quite a few transcendents on their side, and even Marquis Albert and two Level 7 powerhouses were in charge.
Under the circumstances of mainly defending, they only killed two Level 6 experts, plus a relatively large number of transcendent knight squads.
As a result, these two people working together, although the number of knight squads they killed was far less than theirs, they actually killed four Level 6 transcendents.
This… isn't this a false report!
A false report was naturally impossible.
Zorn had collected the sequence crystal cores of the many transcendents killed.
These freshly baked sequence crystal cores could not be faked.
After examining the two of them.
The people in the conference room withdrew their gazes.
"Next…"
Marquis Albert began to deploy the next war plan.
Zorn, in the corner, quietly sensed the state of the many transcendents, pondering silently in his heart.
"The two Level 7 transcendents have the power of forbidden sealed objects remaining on their bodies, and their aura fluctuations are not stable, obviously they are also injured."
"Judging from the terrifying fluctuations transmitted from the fifth level before, obviously the Level 7 powerhouses have also fought."
"Not to mention other transcendents."
"One-third of the transcendents who attended the meeting before have died on the battlefield."
"The enemy's offensive is quite fierce."
"At this rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for three days, and the enemy will drive straight in."
"It is obviously too difficult to resist the attacks of the Holy Sun Church and the [Harvesters] with half the strength of Oglan City."
While thinking, Zorn's gaze slowly swept across the entire conference hall.
Originally, he didn't want to take out that special plan.
But now he had to take it out.
Otherwise, once the people here died, Oglan City would really be lost.
His many fortunes and the foundation for development were all in Oglan City!
Once defeated, everything would be buried.
The chapter of Oglan City cannot end at this point!
In the discussion between Marquis Albert and many people.
About half an hour later, a new round of defense plan was launched again.
It was still the original tone, exchanging space for time.
Using the retreating space, as well as the ritual platforms on each level, ritual altars, special space areas, and even using the power of the ancient ruins themselves to delay the enemy's attack time.
As the meeting ended, after everyone dispersed.
Zorn and Roseanne did not leave.
Similarly, Mrs. Merself, Marquis Albert, and the two powerful Level 7 Earls of Oglan City, also did not leave.
"Zorn!"
Marquis Albert's gaze heavily fell on Zorn.
"You two performed well before, and we still have many tough battles to fight next."
"Your current level is only Level 4.5, which is a bit lacking."
"Later, you take Mrs. Mabel and catch up with the team going deeper, take a batch of 'Golden Magic Ring Essence Fruits', and try to advance to Level 5 as soon as possible."
"If you do, you will be able to exert greater power."
Directly use the Golden Magic Ring Essence Fruit to upgrade.
At this time, Marquis Albert was also going all out, and also regarded it as a reward for Zorn's great performance.
These treasures are better used to enhance one's own strength than to benefit the enemy.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis Albert."
Zorn quickly got up and thanked him.
"However, the number of Golden Magic Ring Essence Fruits I need to upgrade to Level 5 now is more than just two or three."
"Hmm?"
Marquis Albert looked at Zorn.
"How much would that require?"
"Probably about seven," Zorn replied truthfully.
"Seven!"
Marquis Albert frowned slightly.
The Golden Law Ring Source Fruit was exceptionally valuable. Each one required a significant investment of time and consumption of resources, making each one precious.
However, now that he had spoken, there was no turning back.
Moreover, having Zorn advance to Level 5 with these seven Golden Law Ring Source Fruits was definitely a worthwhile investment.
"Then I will give you seven."
Marquis Albert stated decisively.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Then he looked at Madame Mabel and said, "Later, take Zorn to acquire the resources."
However, Zorn did not intend to leave.
He pondered for a moment before speaking again.
"Lord Marquis Albert, with our current strategy, although we can delay the time…"
"…it's only delaying the time. Once the enemy relentlessly attacks, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses."
Zorn paused before continuing.
"I have an excellent method, or rather, a plan, that can effectively block the enemy's attack, and even… completely eliminate the enemies that have entered the ancient ruins."
Eliminate all the enemies?
Hearing Zorn make such a bold claim,
even the two high-ranking Level 7 Transcendent beings narrowed their eyes, carefully examining Zorn from head to toe.
If someone else had said such a thing, the credibility would naturally be low.
But when these words came from "Zorn Crick's" mouth, they had to be taken seriously.
"I have a ritual!"
Zorn took a deep breath and slowly began to explain.
"After the ritual is performed, it can resonate with the Law Ring Source Tree!"
"Thereby… completely sealing off the entire ancient ruins for about a week to ten days."
"During this period, Transcendent beings from the outside world will be completely unable to enter the ancient ruins."
"At the same time, the various world layers of the ancient ruins will also be unable to pass through the door openings."
"The only effective and feasible way to travel is through the [Law Ring Gate] led by the ritual."
As Zorn said this,
the many Transcendent experts present, with their extensive knowledge and experience, instantly understood how powerful Zorn's ritual was.
After a moment of contemplation, a strange light suddenly burst out from the depths of Marquis Albert's eyes.
He suppressed the huge waves in his heart and asked impatiently.
"That is to say… using your ritual…"
"…we can separate the enemies into different layers…"
"…and then use the Law Ring Gate to defeat them one by one?"
"Exactly."
Zorn nodded with certainty.
This surprise came too suddenly, so much so that… Marquis Albert felt it was unreal.
The other two Level 7 Duke and Earl of O'Glan City also showed varying degrees of joy on their faces.
At this critical moment of life and death,
this incredible ritual could be said to turn the tide of the battle on the spot.
It was difficult to deal with the enemies huddled together.
Once they were separated and trapped, the difficulty would be drastically reduced.
Marquis Albert pondered for a moment and said.
"Zorn, can your ritual really trap those many Level 7 and even Level 8 Transcendent beings?"
"You must know that there may be other Level 8 Transcendent beings stationed outside. Will they break your ritual?"
"Lord Marquis Albert."
Zorn said with extra caution.
"Since I have said so, then naturally there is no problem."
"Moreover… even if this plan fails, how much worse can the situation get?"
Zorn's words were quite agreeable to several high-level powerhouses.
The current situation was already bad enough.
This ritual that could turn the tables, even if there was only a one-in-ten chance, had to be used.
After thinking for a while, Marquis Albert solemnly ordered.
"Since that's the case, then use the materials to construct the ritual as soon as possible."
"The few of us will discuss how to effectively guide those experts into different world layers."
"The enemy's next wave of attack is coming soon!"
"Understood!"
Zorn immediately took Mabel and Roseanne into action.
Of course, there was no problem with the ritual Zorn described.
Not to mention Level 7 and Level 8 Transcendent beings.
Once the Law Ring blockade ritual was activated, even Level 12 and 13 Upper-Level powerhouses could not enter.
Zorn had done this kind of thing when he was a [Player] but not a human, and more than once.
Once, he provoked a Level 12 alien "Mad Mage."
Once, he provoked a Level 13 "Demon Lord."
And once, he provoked a Level 16 Saintly "Ancient Thorn Spirit."
The first two times, those two crazy guys did not attack, and then they vented their anger on O'Glan City.
In the end, it ended with the great destruction of O'Glan City.
The time he provoked the Level 16 Saintly "Ancient Thorn Spirit", that cunning Thorn Spirit sneaked from the deep layers of the dimension to the deep area where Zorn was hiding, and launched a perfect flanking assassination on Zorn.
Even the Level 16 Saintly "Ancient Thorn Spirit" needed to flank, so one can imagine the defensive strength of the ancient ruins after the ritual was sealed.
Zorn dared not say that as long as the ritual was activated, the situation would definitely be reversed.
But at least it could block the fierce attacks of those Level 7 and Level 8 powerhouses.
Everyone could have a chance to breathe, and he could advance to Level 5 as soon as possible.
