Chapter 108: Born for War

Old Zhou turned his head and clearly saw the person who had arrived.

Chen Bugu!

He saw him raise his leg and chop down, using his heel to forcefully smash the hilt of the blade.

The blade, which had been stuck fast, instantly moved upwards, once again tearing through the White-Haired Demonic Ape's muscle.

With this strike, the tightly stretched wound was re-injured, and the White-Haired Demonic Ape was exhausted, its black fur gradually receding as it exited its demonic state.

Accompanied by a series of convulsions throughout its body, the White-Haired Demonic Ape revealed a pained expression.

Old Zhou reacted instantly, his hands taking hold of the hilt, and he swung the blade again.

This time, facing the already weakened White-Haired Demonic Ape, the large blade chopped directly towards its head.

Warm blood splattered onto Old Zhou's face, and he felt a considerable amount of energy enter his body, immediately putting his mind at ease.

After killing the White-Haired Demonic Ape in front of him, Old Zhou turned around and saw Chen Bugu, who, after that kick, had turned and re-entered the battle.

He held an exquisite large bow in his left hand, its body gracefully streamlined and adorned with verdant jade.

His right hand continuously drew the string, and energy arrows whistled out one after another from between Chen Bugu's fingers, accurately striking the Magic Beasts on the city wall.

Whether four-star or five-star, any Magic Beast targeted by Chen Bugu was almost instantly killed with a single arrow.

This young man in front of him was like a god of death, frantically harvesting the lives of ordinary Magic Beasts; his hand speed was extremely fast, and his mental energy seemed inexhaustible.

As for the other White-Haired Demonic Ape, when Old Zhou saw its corpse, his pupils constricted, and he then truly understood that he had underestimated Chen Bugu earlier.

The White-Haired Demonic Ape's corpse lay spread-eagled on the ground, its entire head shattered, already dead beyond dead.

One arrow to instantly kill a six-star Magic Beast?!

Even if this young man was not a seven-star Awakened, he definitely possessed seven-star strength.

After the two White-Haired Demonic Apes were killed, Old Zhou and Chen Bugu rejoined the battle, sweeping through the lower-star Magic Beasts.

During the battle, Old Zhou also took a moment to glance at Chen Bugu's teammates.

This glance also surprised him somewhat.

The handsome man in the white suit had his hands transformed into two incomparably sharp electric light blades.

Even the One-Armed Blade Demon, known for its invulnerability to metal, was shattered by that electric light blade.

Not only that, electric arcs surged around the white-suited man's body, continuously striking the surrounding Magic Beasts, causing them to become paralyzed and slow, one after another, allowing other Awakeneds to slay them.

With just one glance, Old Zhou could determine that this man's strength was no weaker than his own.

On the other side, the slightly plump man pressed his hands to the ground, and then countless earth spikes, earth waves, and Rock Barriers appeared one after another on this section of the city wall.

Rock Barriers appeared in front of exhausted allies to form defenses, earth spikes appeared under the enemies' feet to attack, and earth waves pushed injured personnel who had difficulty moving to quickly retreat.

Whether human Awakeneds, Dwarves, or Magic Lizard Clan members, many were saved by this man, and they all cast grateful glances at him.

These two, Chen Bugu had introduced them earlier, seemed to be named Bai Ting and Yan Kuan.

Like Chen Bugu, their elemental abilities were continuously released, seemingly without any concern for their mental energy.

Old Zhou punched and shattered the head of a Cat Ape, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Are those three all Element Affinity Users?

In Obsidian Town, people refer to Awakeneds with an affinity of 80 or more for a certain element as Element Affinity Users.

The biggest characteristic of Element Affinity Users is that the mental energy required to control elements is far lower than that of ordinary Awakeneds.

If the elemental affinity reaches 100, they will be called Children of the Elements.

A Child of the Elements is like the emperor of that element, controlling elemental power with ease; besides releasing powerful skills, the mental energy consumed can be considered Ignore.

The most prominent characteristic of those favored by elements is that they can fight with elements for a long time, making them the most popular people in large-scale wars.

Every high-level Element Affinity User is equivalent to an elemental artillery platform.

As for the other three, the girl holding the bone staff also gave Old Zhou a surprise.

If there was anyone more popular on the battlefield than an Element Affinity User, it would be a Healer.

This girl in front of him was clearly a Healer.

She held her bone staff high, creating a five-meter radius light shield; Awakeneds who were severely injured and unable to fight were moved behind the light shield, and their surface wounds were healing at an extremely fast rate.

And the other girl had four rapidly spinning green throwing knives flying around her, continuously attacking the incoming Magic Beasts, serving as a guard.

As for the last little boy in school uniform...

He just stood there blankly, and Old Zhou couldn't discern what his ability was.

However, as time passed, the entire city wall was covered with corpses, and blood flowed like a river.

Awakeneds of all races unconsciously moved closer to Chen Bugu and his group.

Firstly, it was to protect the Healer and the injured, so that if they themselves were injured, they could receive timely treatment.

Secondly, other parts of this small section of the South City Wall had almost all been breached by Magic Beasts, and only this section remained intact, so the surviving defenders unconsciously retreated here.

After retreating to Lin Lin's side, Awakeneds of all races spontaneously formed a protective circle, surrounding Lin Lin and the others.

However, to Old Zhou's surprise, the Awakeneds of various races, who were originally disorganized, cooperated seamlessly after arriving near Lin Lin and the others.

Everyone spontaneously lined up according to their strength to face the incoming Magic Beasts, effectively containing and killing them.

Once someone was injured, they would immediately retreat into Lin Lin's light shield for treatment, and Awakeneds who had completed treatment would immediately fill the void.

For a full ten minutes, not a single Magic Beast could approach within 100 meters of that Healer.

Old Zhou didn't understand why the Awakeneds responsible for defending this section of the South City Wall were almost all residents of the town who had spontaneously formed groups, not the original professional city wall defenders, yet at this moment, they displayed extremely high military discipline.

This confusion continued until he himself entered the protective circle.

A voice suddenly rang out in his mind, making him realize.

"Old Zhou, there's a gap 50 meters to your right, a six-star Magic Beast, block it!"

Old Zhou's pupils widened, and he finally understood what the ability of the last student in Chen Bugu's team was!

He rushed to his right, his heart filled with shock.

What's going on with Chen Bugu's small team?

Elemental artillery platforms and Healers are one thing, but now there's a commander?

It's as if they were born for large-scale wars!

"Seven-star Magic Beast! Seven-star Magic Beast!"

Just as Old Zhou blocked that six-star Magic Beast, he suddenly heard the roars of other Awakeneds.

He looked out and saw a Black Hornet the size of a human head flying in the air at the top of the city wall, and around it, nearly a hundred fist-sized symbiotic young bees flew densely.

Seven-star Magic Beast, Black Hornet!

The most troublesome aspect of this Magic Beast is not only its wind-like flying speed and the venom-flashing stinger at its tail, but also its characteristic of moving in groups!

At this moment, this seven-star Black Hornet had hundreds of four-star symbiotic young bees around it.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The sound of their wings flapping was like a signal of death.

Everyone's heart sank; the addition of these Black Hornets might be the last straw that breaks the camel's back, and it would inevitably cause casualties.

Upon seeing this, Chen Bugu quickly stood in front of everyone, his eyes shimmering with silver light, and he entered "Bullet Time."

Within 4 consecutive seconds of "Bullet Time," Chen Bugu drew his bowstring nearly a hundred times, until his right hand was sore and swollen, only then did he release it.

However, to others, the man holding the large bow had his right hand transformed into an indiscernible afterimage; in just a few seconds, countless water arrows suddenly appeared in front of him, like a torrential downpour, or a rushing river, overwhelming the Black Hornets.

"Puff puff puff..."

Bursts of blood mist erupted within the Black Hornet swarm, and countless young bees fell to the ground.

At this moment, Old Zhou and the other Awakeneds gasped, one by one, dumbfounded.

An exclamation from an unknown source perfectly described everyone's feelings.

"Damn it!"

"Gatling?"

"And it's even shooting blue fire?"
