Although the Dragon Hall Secret Realm had also been breached during the previous two attempts, allowing Dark Death Guards to get inside, the number that got in before had only been a scattered few, nowhere near as many as now.
At this moment, the Dark Death Guards being teleported in from behind were like a broken dam flooding endlessly forward.
After asking around, Zhao Jun confirmed that something had indeed happened outside, "The people guarding outside the secret realm are under attack."
"Who the hell dares make trouble at a time like this?", He Xiao said in disbelief.
Zhao Jun replied, "Storm Guild!"
Storm!
The moment he heard that guild name, Lin Mo immediately understood.
"Looks like they're here for me."
At the same time, a cold look appeared in Ling Xue's eyes, "We should've wiped them out completely during the battle at Inferno Forest. We shouldn't have left them room to recover."
At this moment, Zhao Jun said seriously, "Besides Storm, there are four other guilds too. Martial God, Bloodthirsty, Heaven, and Emperor."
"The five guilds are all in this together. Their combined numbers reach four to five thousand people. We only have about a hundred people guarding the secret realm entrance. There's no way they can stop those five guilds."
At this moment, Lin Miaomiao suddenly thought of something, "All our people are gathered at the Blood Mine right now. Hurry and transfer some of them here to support us."
He Xiao said, "No! Sun Yang said Chaotic World and Blood Dance Guild are already on their way to the Blood Mine. They'll arrive soon."
"If we pull people away from the Blood Mine now, the remaining forces won't be enough to fight Chaotic World and Blood Dance. Every plan we made tonight will be ruined."
Right then—
"ROAR!"
Along with a world-shaking roar that hurt their ears, countless flashes of lightning burst from inside the dragon hall.
The next second, a giant dragon glowing with purple magic light flew out from the dragon hall, rose into the air, and hovered above it.
The blood-red ID above its head was both exciting and terrifying.
[Lv60 Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon] (Magic Type · Tier 5 Boss)
"Holy shit! It's actually a tier-5 boss?"
In front of them was the final secret realm boss, Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon.
Behind them was the endless army of Dark Death Guards still being teleported into the secret realm and approaching this side.
Caught between enemies from both sides, Lin Miaomiao anxiously said, "The secret realm boss is out, but now so many Dark Death Guards got in too! What do we do?"
"Do we fight the boss or the Death Guards?"
The more urgent the situation became, the calmer Ling Xue was.
She asked Lin Mo, "Are you confident you can solo Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon?"
"To be honest, not completely," Lin Mo said, "But I can try."
"Good!", After hearing Lin Mo's answer, Ling Xue immediately made a decision and instructed Zhao Jun, He Xiao, and Lin Miaomiao, "You three go stop the Death Guard army. Don't let them get close."
The three pointed at themselves at the same time, full of disbelief.
"The three of us?"
"Stop a level 60 Dark Death Guard army?"
"Listen to yourself! Does that even sound human?"
Ling Xue said firmly, "No matter what method you use, even if you die, you must hold them back and buy time for Lin Mo to kill the boss."
Seeing how serious Ling Xue was, He Xiao and the others stopped joking around.
"Alright, we're going all in!"
"Old Zhao, healer sis, let's go!"
As they spoke, He Xiao, Zhao Jun, and Lin Miaomiao picked up their weapons.
"Sister Ling, Vice Guild Leader Lin, good luck!"
"We're going!"
After Lin Miaomiao finished speaking, the three still charged toward the overwhelming Death Guard army ahead without hesitation, even knowing it was a hopeless fight.
Watching this scene, Lin Mo could not help recalling the moment in his previous life when Ming Yuexin sacrificed him to the Vampire Emperor Ainogea.
At this moment, the hatred in his heart seemed to resonate.
He asked Ling Xue, "To achieve your goal, can you really sacrifice anything?"
Ling Xue's deep gaze stayed fixed on Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon flying above the dragon hall.
Her eyes held only the desire to kill Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon.
There was not even a trace of concern for what price He Xiao, Zhao Jun, and Lin Miaomiao might pay because of her order.
"If you want success, some sacrifices are unavoidable."
Anger showed in Lin Mo's eyes, "What counts as necessary? Even sacrificing close friends and family?"
"As long as we succeed," Ling Xue said indifferently, "their sacrifice is worth it."
"There is another option," Lin Mo said, "We give up the boss, give up the secret realm, and leave now. Then no one has to be sacrificed."
Ling Xue's eyes turned cold as she answered firmly, "Whether in Divine Oracle or reality, this is a world where the strong devour the weak. The strong live, the weak die. That truth has never changed."
"Only the strong have the right to survive."
"Only by becoming strong can you control your own fate instead of being controlled by others."
Ling Xue turned her face away and took a deep breath, as if afraid Lin Mo would see the redness in her eyes.
But in Lin Mo's view, Ming Yuexin was still the same Ming Yuexin.
She truly had not disappointed him.
At this moment, Zhao Jun and the others had already lured away the Death Guard army.
With only the three of them, even killing a single Death Guard alone was difficult.
Let alone fighting so many at once.
So their only option was to draw aggro and circle around the Death Guard army from the side, dragging things out for as long as possible.
But clearly, they would not last long.
Ling Xue wiped away her tears and pulled out her sword with a swish. Standing beside Lin Mo, she said, "Let's begin."
"I'll support you."
After speaking—
Slash!
Ling Xue swung her sword and released an A-rank Sword Energy Slash, sending a silver sword aura straight toward Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon in the air.
ROAR!
Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon spread its wings and flew upward.
Miss!
As a tier-5 boss from Divine Oracle's supreme race, the Black Dragon Clan, Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon possessed extremely high intelligence.
After dodging the attack, Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon dove down, opened its giant mouth, and unleashed blazing dragon flames toward Lin Mo and Ling Xue.
Ling Xue quickly jumped aside to dodge.
At the same time, she activated her skills.
Sword Formula!
Sword Heart!
The two A-rank skills caused two layers of silver sword light to appear on Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon's body, putting it into a 30% defense break state and a 30% increased damage taken state.
Ling Xue knew she could not hurt this boss. Her role was to support Lin Mo.
"Now!"
Taking advantage of the moment after Ling Xue finished applying buffs to the boss, Lin Mo endured Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon's dragon flames and launched his counterattack from within the fire.
