“Target the one in black! Fire!”
Cell Five was a five-person Demon Hunter team with a Demon Huntress.
Not only were the members aware of their responsibilities, but they also had great teamwork.
Their tank-assaulter, who rushed to the forefront, roared. He squatted slightly and suddenly catapulted up before swooping toward Angeline and the rest in the air just like an arrow.
This skill was called Meteorite Fall.
Thanks to this skill, his body was like a meteorite falling from the sky, locking onto Angeline’s body, and smashing down hard.
Once he hit his target, this skill would not only stun the target that had suffered the frontal impact, but it would also knock back everyone within one meter around it.
This could be considered a very powerful offensive move.
Its only weakness was its slightly slower speed in the air…
At the same time, three of the four teammates following him had prepared their skills and set their minds on Chen Gou.
They could also see that Chen Gou vaguely dominated Cell Six and hence regarded him as their main target.
The flare of magic skills was already flickering in the hands of those three. A moment later, the assaulter landed from mid-air, knocking back Angeline and the others. These killing moves would all land on Chen Gou.
Chen Gou’s silver-grade Deathwalker Armor had been taken away by Violent Bear and the rest, so his own defensive capabilities were extremely weak.
Swish!
Left with no other choice, Chen Gou could only summon the Radiant Dawn to protect him.
“You actually have a summoning skill and want to use a summons to block the damage?” The mid-air assaulter was obviously startled on the spot.
They were all very uncomfortable with this change.
Since the three people behind had already released their skills, letting the summons take all the damage was akin to Chen Gou using a skill in exchange for their three skills.
Everyone’s Awakened Level had been suppressed below Level 10, and they had a total of two skills. Releasing one skill would mean they had one less skill to use.
If their three skills could not kill the other party’s most important member, they would definitely be passive during this battle.
However, the assaulter didn’t know that this was only the beginning of Chen Gou’s counterattack.
Right at that moment, there was another sudden change!
The shield in the Radiant Dawn’s left hand transformed into chains of light and shot toward the mid-air assaulter. The hands at the front instantly grabbed him and pulled him back abruptly…
The assaulter couldn’t resist the pull of the Rocket Grab.
Due to the interruption, the Meteorite Fall changed direction and headed toward the Radiant Dawn.
“I’m finished!”
The assaulter was livid. Without turning around, he knew that his three teammates’ skills were flying toward the Radiant Dawn while he was also passively flying in the same direction.
Then…
Boom!
There was no aftermath. He was dead.
He had appeared in front of the Radiant Dawn like a shield and the skills of his three teammates had killed him instantly!
The three teammates hadn’t expected such a shocking change to occur.
Chen Gou had released his skill at the right time and grabbed the assaulter while he had been in mid-air, just as the people from Cell Five had gotten a hold of the opening, Aman.
However, they had only gained a temporary advantage. Chen Gou had caused them heavy losses and achieved victory!
In fact, Chen Gou couldn’t be any gladder. He was fully confident about using the Radiant Dawn to block these skills.
The success rate of using the Rocket Grab to grab the assaulter from mid-air and withstanding his opponents’ skills was only up to 30%.
However, there were no ‘ifs’ on the battlefield. A win was a win, as the dead had no way of turning the tables around.
“What are you waiting for? Attack!”
Angeline led Kelly, Bo Guang, and Noah and told them to counterattack.
Now, it was five against four full team members. Although Aman had been knocked back earlier, he hadn’t suffered much damage. He later got tangled up in the opponent’s vine-summoning skill.
On the other hand, their opponents had lost their most important meat shield and their formation was in shambles with exposed openings.
Furthermore, Aman broke free a few minutes later and used magic to summon a huge tower shield while he charged wildly toward the remaining people of Cell Five.
“Bring it on again! Aren’t you guys very fierce? Ha ha, I want to see whether you can remain fierce!”
The Wildfire Team had a majestic demeanor.
The most dreadful thing for Cell Five was that they had not just lost a member, but the remaining four members had all released a skill and were now in cooldown.
The five members of the Wildfire Team had yet to unleash their skills.
The situation eventually boiled down to a battle of magic skills between Awakeners!
“Stupid woman, if you don’t want to die, do it now!”
The people of Cell Five yelled at the hesitating woman, trying to get her to join the fight and bridge the gap in combat power.
“I…”
The Demon Huntress seemed to have figured things out upon seeing that everyone else was fighting madly, and the hesitation on her face gradually dissipated and was replaced by morbid indifference.
Humans were ultimately afraid of death!
At that moment, Chen Gou suddenly shouted, “They only have four defeated members left! Do you have any chance of winning by following them? Join us! Up to 10 people will survive, and we can bring you along!”
“Don’t listen to his bullsh*t!”
The four of them suddenly felt that things were bad upon hearing this and hurriedly shouted, “We’re supposed to be a team…”
Pfft!
The conversation came to an abrupt halt, as the Demon Huntress had snuck an attack on the speaker from behind, and a thumb-sized light arrow had blasted his heart into smithereens.
“I’m sorry. I’ve gone mad. I just want to live…”
Although the woman had been hesitant before, she was surprisingly strong!
The heart and the brain were the only fatal weaknesses of the Awakeners, and being blown apart would instantly kill them regardless of their HP.
Now that one person had been killed instantly, the entire Cell Five only had three people left.
Cell Six had an additional reinforcement!
The Wildfire Team and the Demon Huntress, who helped them add up to six people, closed in on the remaining three.
Chen Gou controlled the Radiant Dawn and had her raise her longsword, unleashing a beam of Solar Flare without hesitation between the three of them.
The cooldown time of the Solar Flare was three minutes. Right now, he could not even think of saving his skill for later, as the sooner it was used, the sooner it would cool down.
Without the silver flame of the ancient cross, the sunlight damage wasn’t too high, but it came with an extra stunning slowdown!
There was nothing suspenseful about the outcome. Angeline and the others rushed forward to slash them and finished them off.
Thus, Cell Six set an astonishing record of zero losses!
In fact, due to the addition of the Demon Huntress, they had grown stronger.
When only three people were left on the other side, Chen Gou had another option… He could let them join his team and form a 10-man team!
However, Chen Gou didn’t trust them. After all, they had even killed their own teammate, so it would be better to root them out.
Meanwhile, the two fights between Cell One and Cell Two and Cell Three and Cell Four were almost over.
The winners were Cell One and Cell Three.
Although they had won, they had also paid a considerable price.
Apart from the injured team members, one or two members of each prison cell had died.
There are four people in Cell One and five in Cell Three. The seven of us are the strongest, but…
Chen Gou secretly compared the difference in strength between the three parties that had won the first round of fighting. Although their side was clearly the strongest, he was still deeply worried.
“The four of us will work with Cell Three while the five of you will work together to kill all the people in Cell Six. Then, we’ll be done with this.”
The same person from Cell One who had led and launched an attack now took the initiative to make a gesture of peace, making a friendly gesture to Cell Three and isolating Chen Gou’s side.
“It’s nine against seven. We’ll just give it our all. We will definitely win as long as we work together.”
The temporary leader of Cell Three agreed without hesitation.
After, both they and Cell One had no choice… There were seven people in Cell Six. There would be at least one extra person regardless of whether Cell One or Cell Three cooperated with Cell Six.
Once they won overwhelmingly, they would have to fight internally to reduce their number.
This was extremely bad for morale, and no one wanted to die at the hands of their fellow companions when they had clearly won and were only half a step away from surviving.
Instead, it would be better to form a feeble alliance and take out the team with the largest number of people together…
