Chapter 188 The Second Wave of the Undead Scourge Ends
"Brothers! Fight back! Fight back with the boss!"
"Windwhisper Castle," a city built on a mountain ridge, is suffering from a combination of aerial and ground attacks by countless wailing banshees and ghostly assassins, leaving players in dire straits.
Lin Tian arrived via teleportation, and without even glancing at the densely packed enemies, he simply raised his staff.
The Light of True Sight!
A pure light of detection swept across the entire area from him in an instant!
All the stealthy ghost assassins and translucent wailing banshees were exposed as if they had been doused with a revealing potion, with no way to hide, and they were marked with vulnerability!
Immediately afterwards, Arcane Explosion erupted in a chain reaction centered on him!
The raging arcane energy dealt a devastating blow to the revealed and fragile undead!
Then came the precise strike of the [Star Ray]!
Banshees fell from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, while assassins on the ground fell in droves.
The pressure on Windwhisper Castle decreased sharply.
"Iron City", "Azure Harbor", "Gravel Fortress"... Lin Tian was like a ruthless and efficient fire captain, his figure constantly flashing between the various main cities in distress.
Wherever he goes, he doesn't need to understand the specific battle situation or make complicated tactical arrangements. All he needs to do is unleash his terrifying skill library, which has a 100% cooldown reduction, without reservation!
His mana consumption was indeed enormous, but the terrifying mana cap and recovery speed brought by his god-level attributes made it possible for him to sustain such a short-term, high-intensity burst of power.
Often, after clearing out the core threats of a main city, his mana will be restored to a healthy level while he is teleporting to the next main city.
The efficiency is several times higher than that of the first wave!
In the first wave, he also needs to find densely populated undead areas and focus on skill rotation.
Now, he's completely dominating! He just taps wherever a skill is highlighted.
No, it means the skills are always available, and can be combined and used at will!
Players in other major cities went from initial shock and elation to becoming almost numb.
"Ah, Boss Lin Tian is here. Alright, everything's fine now, we can clean up the battlefield."
"This clearing speed... I didn't even get a good look at what the monsters looked like..."
"I feel like we're not here to defend the city, but to cheer for Boss Lin Tian..."
Meanwhile, SSS-level talents like Ye Yao, Chen Shan, Emily, and Raj demonstrated a dominance far exceeding that of ordinary players in their respective main cities, steadfastly and reliably protecting their cities.
When they saw Lin Tian sweep through the other main cities like a hurricane, resolving battles at a speed they couldn't comprehend, their hearts were also filled with shock and disbelief.
For the first time, they felt so directly how enormous the gap between them and this man was.
It's not just a difference in attributes, but a fundamental difference.
With such an almost cheating speed of cleanup, the second wave of the undead scourge, which was originally expected to be more devastating and longer-lasting, was quelled much faster than the first wave!
When Lin Tian wiped the last wave of stubborn undead off the map with five consecutive [Starry Storm] attacks outside the last level-three main city, "Silverpine Town," the grand system announcement once again resounded through the sky:
[Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations! Thanks to the combined efforts of all players, all level 3 main cities in the 9527 New Player Continent have successfully withstood the second wave of the Undead Scourge!]
[Given that the defense was completed far more efficiently than expected, the overall rating has been significantly improved! The final rewards for all players who participated in the defense will be increased by 30% from the base value!]
[Rewards settlement begins...]
A dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping every surviving player!
Massive amounts of experience points and gold coins poured in again, and the golden light of the upgrades was even more concentrated than at the end of the first wave, as if golden forests of hope were blooming on the ruins of major cities!
"I leveled up three times in a row! I'm level 20 now!"
"I'm rich! So many gold coins! I can finally upgrade my equipment!"
"We held on! We really held on! And so far ahead of schedule!"
The elation of surviving the ordeal and the excitement of increased strength once again permeated the entire continent. Every player, regardless of which main city they came from, felt genuine pride and excitement at this moment.
Bathed in the thickest beam of light, Lin Tian's level increased again, reaching level 42! The harvest of gold coins and experience was also massive.
After killing a large number of undead in various level 3 main cities, his level reached 41, and with the reward settlement, his level directly reached 42.
But what he cares about more are the contribution points and those hidden resources.
He eagerly opened the [Undead Scourge] interface, and the first thing that caught his eye was the contribution leaderboard, which was shining with an increasingly dazzling golden light!
1st Place: Lin Tian (Luoxia City) - Contribution Points: 68,451,892
"Sixty-eight million four hundred and fifty thousand..." Lin Tian looked at his contribution value, which was far ahead of the others, and nodded in satisfaction.
This represents an increase of over ten million compared to the first wave.
This is mainly due to the extremely efficient clearing brought by his cooldown-free skills, as well as the huge contribution from the devastating blow of [Forbidden Spell: Heavenly Fire Burns the City].
The contribution values of Ye Yao, Chen Shan, Emily and Raj, who ranked second to fifth on the list, have also increased significantly compared to the first wave, reaching nearly two million!
This is clearly the result of their individual efforts and fierce battles in their respective main cities, and it also shows that their strength has been significantly enhanced by utilizing the rewards from the first wave.
Players like Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei, who are in the first tier, have contributed nearly a million points, more than double that of the first wave.
"Looks like everyone's been keeping busy," Lin Tian said with a slight smile.
This healthy competition is something he's happy to see. Only when all players improve their overall strength can they cope with potentially more severe challenges in the future, and it can also relieve some of the pressure on him—although currently, the pressure is almost entirely on him alone.
He glanced at his renewed boost points and Dominator Power, then at the enticing numbers on the contribution leaderboard, and began to plan how to transform these resources into even greater strength before the third wave of natural disasters arrived.
Will there be new and more tempting items in the exchange shop? SSS rank seems to be within reach.
Meanwhile, the entire world channel was flooded with the name "Lin Tian" and all sorts of exclamations and expressions of gratitude.
His feat of single-handedly influencing the entire continental war has become an unrepeatable legend, deeply imprinted in the hearts of every player of this era.
