Chapter 2349 Hero Kilbart

Kilbart stood silently in the Guild Hall, his eyes closed. His towering three-meter frame was unmatched even by other NPCs, like a guardian deity. No enemy could approach the Guild Standard by even half a step.

"Is this the hero the Guild Leader mentioned?" Aqua Rose gazed at Kilbart, slightly astonished. "His presence is so strong!"

The Tier 3 NPCs she had seen before were terrifyingly powerful, but they didn't give her this suffocating pressure.

Kilbart before her didn't seem like an NPC at all, but more like an ancient beast.

"Damn it! How does Zero Wing still have a Tier 3 NPC guarding this place?"

Abandoning Wave watched Kilbart inside the Guild Hall through his demonic perspective, his expression unbelievably grim.

To prevent those Tier 3 NPC adventurers from coming to assist in the defense, he had used all the surviving High Lord ranked Evil Beasts to desperately hold them back, and even had several Great Lord level demons lying in wait.

This was how the thirty Tier 3 NPC adventurers had been stalled halfway.

He didn't expect that Zero Wing would still be hiding a trump card at this point, allowing Stone Forest Town a moment of respite.

Lord-ranked demons were unstoppable even by Tier 2 NPCs specializing in close combat. As for the current players, there was no need to mention them. Perhaps only those top experts who had activated burst skills could contend with them, but wanting to stop a Lord-ranked demon from attacking the Guild Standard was impossible.

Only a Tier 3 close-combat NPC could completely suppress a Lord-ranked demon.

One strike!

Only one strike was needed.

The Guild Standard would be completely destroyed, and Stone Forest Town would be utterly reduced to a monster town.

"A desperate struggle! If thirty Tier 3 NPCs joined forces to defend, it might really take some effort, but relying on a single Tier 3 NPC to guard the Guild Standard is overestimating yourself!" Abandoning Wave sneered, then manipulated the deep gray crystal ball in his hand, chanting an incantation.

Immediately, more than a dozen figures hidden within the monster army dashed out, leaving behind only afterimages.

By the time Zero Wing's members noticed, these dozen figures had broken through the blockade and directly appeared around the Guild Hall, smashing through the walls and charging towards the Guild Standard.

The true faces of these figures were demons, but unlike the demons that attacked the Guild Standard before, this batch was much stronger.

"Not good, Great Lord-ranked demons are hidden inside! We must stop them!" Aqua Rose, guarding the hall, quickly activated the Power of Darkness, using the Tier 1 skill Shadow Tendrils.

Instantly, hundreds of cyan tendrils emerged from under Aqua Rose's feet, transforming into black shadows that charged directly towards the approaching demons.

"Useless struggle!" Abandoning Wave said disdainfully.

These sixteen demons were the strongest remaining force. Among them were eleven High Lords, and even five Great Lords. Even a group of Tier 3 NPCs would have difficulty facing such a force, let alone a Tier 1 enchanter like Aqua Rose.

The constricting Shadow Tendrils were directly dodged completely, not even touching them once.

"Such fast reaction speed!" Aqua Rose was also taken aback.

Her Shadow Tendrils were all launched to attack the blind spots of these demons, but these demons seemed to know it in advance, not only perfectly avoiding the restraints, but also closing the distance in one breath.

"Let's end this!"

Abandoning Wave watched the Guild Standard less than 30 yards away through the demons' perspective, already seeing the light of victory.

Sixteen demons of High Lord rank or higher attacked the Guild Standard from multiple directions, something that even two or three Tier 3 close-combat NPCs couldn't stop together.

"Is this the end?" Aqua Rose looked at the approaching demons, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

They had finally developed Stone Forest Town to this point, but it was all going to be lost just like that...

The distance between the sixteen demons and the Guild Standard was getting shorter and shorter.

20 yards... 15 yards...

The players' attacks in the hall had no effect at all. The demons didn't even bother to dodge, focusing solely on attacking the Guild Standard.

Seeing that they were less than 10 yards away, Kilbart, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, then roared loudly. The deafening roar was clearly heard even by those outside the Guild Hall.

The gazes of the sixteen demons involuntarily turned to Kilbart, as if at that moment, the entire world consisted only of Kilbart, and nothing else existed.

Barbarian's Tier 3 Legacy Skill, Wild Howl!

This move could directly cover a radius of 50 yards. Unlike other taunt skills, it was similar to a domain skill. Within the domain, enemies could only perceive Kilbart's existence. At the same time, because of the sound's deterrent effect, it would slow enemies within the area by 50%, regardless of attack speed, movement speed, or reaction speed. It could be said to be a killing move.

With the activation of Wild Howl, Kilbart also pulled out the blood-red greatsword stuck in the ground and gently waved it at the charging demons.

At this moment, Kilbart's attack speed seemed very slow from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it could be found that it was not that Kilbart's attack speed was slow, but rather that Kilbart's attack speed was too fast, too smooth, creating an illusion.

As a red glow bloomed, the sixteen demons wanted to resist and dodge, but their bodies were like wooden figures, only able to watch the red glow fall on them, unable to do anything.

Tier 3 Legacy Skill, Wild Blade.

Although it was just a very ordinary slash, it made all the enemies around unable to move at all. The power was so great that wherever the red glow passed, it left behind black cracks, completely cutting the entire space apart.

After one slash, the sixteen demons left behind only afterimages, as if they had been blasted out of the Guild Hall like cannonballs.

The High Lord-ranked demons instantly lost more than one-third of their health. The powerful destructive force made everyone present gasp.

"Too strong! This strike probably has power close to Tier 4." Aqua Rose looked at Kilbart in disbelief.

Even Great Lord-ranked demons could only be barely resisted by Tier 3 NPCs in a one-on-one fight, requiring two Tier 3 NPCs to suppress them. Now, five Great Lord-ranked demons were instantly blasted away by Kilbart, which was simply incredible.

"He held it! How is this possible? How can there be such a strong Tier 3 NPC?" Abandoning Wave's eyes were about to pop out.

He was watching through the demons' perspective and saw everything clearly. That sword speed and power, not to mention dodging, even resisting was completely impossible. It was far stronger than the previous Tier 3 NPCs, completely not on the same level.

Before Abandoning Wave could react, Kilbart took a step, disappearing from his original spot in the blink of an eye, and then appeared in front of a Great Lord demon. The greatsword in his hand had pierced through the demon's body at some point, and only then did the demon react, using its claws to block...

It was completely overwhelming power.

The other demons, due to the effect of Wild Howl, could not attack the Guild Standard at all unless they killed Kilbart first.

As time passed, although many monsters entered the Guild Hall, they had to fight Kilbart due to the effect of Wild Howl. However, Kilbart was not only terribly strong himself, but also had Tier 2 NPC priests healing him from the side, posing no threat to Kilbart at all.

Shi Feng was not surprised at all.

The reason why heroes could become NPCs that major guilds competed for, even willing to spend sky-high prices to buy them, was naturally because they had their own unique qualities. Towns guarded by heroes were rarely ever captured.

Tier 3 heroes had base attributes that were no less than those of Mythic monsters of the same level, and their combat skills were much stronger than those of ordinary experts in God's Domain. In addition, they had mastered all Legacy Skills, making them the most suitable NPCs for guarding guild residences.

The Evil Beasts and demons were constantly decreasing.

"Did I lose?" Abandoning Wave stared intently at the dwindling number of his minions, his expression very complicated.

Now, the strongest combat power of both the Evil Beast army and the demon army had been almost completely exhausted. Even without the presence of NPCs, Zero Wing's members alone had a good chance of holding on, let alone with the existence of such a powerful Kilbart, and a large number of other Tier 3 NPCs.

"Is this Zero Wing? This town defense is too strong! So many powerful monster armies, yet they still can't capture it. Now, which guild can shake Stone Forest Town?"

Everyone looked at the increasingly smaller monster army, and their hearts were filled with exclamations.

After this battle, perhaps no guild in Star-Moon Kingdom would dare to target Stone Forest Town again, and Stone Forest Town would enter a new era.

"I'll give it to you, Zero Wing. You're ruthless enough, able to stop even this. But don't be too happy, even if these Evil Beasts and demons are gone, I can still get more. You won't be so lucky next time." Abandoning Wave knew that the situation was over, but he was confident that as long as he had enough time, he could create a monster army several times stronger than this one. And Zero Wing, without Stone Forest Town, would be completely reduced to a second-rate guild. "Flame Blood, your Underworld Guild will probably be busy for a while."

"Don't worry, although there are not many resources in Star-Moon City, there are plenty of resources in other cities and other kingdoms." Flame Blood smiled and nodded. Although Zero Wing's performance was shocking, Abandoning Wave, who was hidden in the dark and could create Evil Beast and demon armies at will, possessed an unparalleled advantage that Zero Wing could not compare to.

This time it was because they didn't know enough about Zero Wing and weren't prepared enough, but next time it would be different.

Immediately, Abandoning Wave and Flame Blood turned and left.

In the central Magic Tower of Stone Forest Town, Shi Feng was quietly watching the scene displayed on the giant crystal ball, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"Finally found them, Evil God Envoy?" Shi Feng looked at Abandoning Wave, who was wearing a black cloak and wrapped in bandages, displayed on the crystal inside the Magic Tower. "No, the evil energy around him is so weak. Evil God Envoys are favored by the Evil God. Even if they have treasures to suppress the evil energy, it shouldn't be so weak. Is he an Evil God Apostle developed by an Evil God Envoy? Forget it, I'll go take a look myself."

Saying so, Shi Feng locked onto the location and used the Seven Luminaries Ring's Space Movement skill, suddenly disappearing from the Magic Tower.
