Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 80 Facing the Shattered Star

As the days went by, the assassins began using the building materials provided by Li Wei to maintain the city and to take in civilians to cultivate the land.

Li Wei would spend his days engrossed in his books, and his evenings would be spent answering his questions by his teacher. However, when Serian saw him teaching in his pajamas, Li Wei became distracted and simply changed back into his pajamas.

Li Wei felt a little sad; the perks were gone.

A week later, a ruthless killer burst in, reporting that the Great Rune had been destroyed.

It is said that Rosalia's fingers also came over, saying that those unlucky people who were reborn too many times and turned into maggots have returned to normal.

They will unconditionally betray us, support Livy the Ash, kill the Deep Archon and his gang, and even help attack the Cold Rift.

In fact, Li Wei had guessed some of it. The Great Rune of the Unborn represented rebirth, and Rosalia also represented rebirth. It was not surprising that the Primordial Flame Essence fed back to the past after being burned.

As for the upper limit, it depends on which warrior is willing to sacrifice himself and become a maggot.

The most excited person was Black Knight, who even approached Li Wei and expressed his willingness to be the vanguard.

He's already inquiring everywhere about who possesses the Great Rune and how to crush them all as quickly as possible.

However, just as the Black Knight was pestering Levi for people to kill the amputated king, Garrosh, the Lost Knight brought some unfortunate news.

A powerful Faded One sneaked in through a gap in the city wall in the dark, stole Grek's Great Rune, and killed him as well.

This really hit Black Knight right where it hurt, and he grabbed his giant sword and was about to go after the Faded One.

But Li Wei stopped him.

"Don't get excited, brother. The border area is so big, where are you going to find someone?"

He then pulled out an invitation.

"There's one here. We can just take enough people there. It's better than finding a needle in a haystack."

However, this is facing a god-like being head-on, even a mad god-like being, it will be a tough battle.

Thinking of Pantheon's ultimate ability, the Great Meteor, with its fiery buttocks, in the game, Li Wei grinned. This thing is deadly.

His Red Lion Legion has tried countless times to put Rataen to rest, and now they have to send out invitations everywhere, searching the borderlands for strong men to team up with, which speaks volumes about how capable he is.

Li Wei spoke up decisively.

"Bring our best 1,000 men. I'll cover all the expenses for any issues related to human nature. I don't believe we can't work him to death."

A thousand people is enough; any more would hinder development, since people are needed everywhere.

Besides the college, they also need people to take in Shi Dongcheng.

There are already Faded Ones who obey Two Fingers attacking patrols, though the killers welcome these convenient tools for relieving boredom.

Black Knight went to call for reinforcements, so Li Wei had no choice but to put down his books and go to the principal's office to ask for leave from Professor Serian.

The thousand men quickly assembled, but Ego refused to join the battle. The border region was not peaceful, and he wanted to protect his saintess.

Moreover, after dealing with Rataen, Li Wei still has to go to the Kroos world to deal with Goto's problem.

Grandpa Crystal won't go either; he's already trapped in this grand library and won't come out.

I found a local guide and fought my way to Red Lion City, where I received a warm welcome from the city lord.

However, when Li Wei and the others took the elevator to the seaside hill, they saw Rataen roaring to the sky in the distance.

Jack shook his head sadly.

"How pathetic, my old friend, are you like this too?"

Levi's attention wasn't on Rataen, but on his horse, which was a much more pitiful fellow.

The big guy Ratahn sitting on it looks like a bear riding a dog.

His legs were turned inwards because of being pressed down by Ratahn.

Disheartened looked at the scattered armor and battle flags around him, his tone serious.

"This battle won't be easy."

Li Wei arrived at the portal and planted the spiral sword.

"We have to fight even if it's tough. Burning him is probably no different from burning the Lord of Cinder. Divide into five groups and equip all members with shields."

One group can hold out for a minute or so; use a rotation strategy to overwhelm them.

Once everyone was assembled, Li Wei felt that as the BOSS, he should naturally take the lead and charge ahead. The rest didn't matter; participation was the most important thing.

"Scatter immediately once you're inside. His arrows are too powerful for anyone to withstand. He uses gravity magic in melee combat, mostly area-of-effect attacks. Be careful on your own."

The Silver Knight's great arrow is like a guided missile, but that's just a metaphor.

Ratahn fired gleaming smoothbore shells, and most importantly, whether these shells were solid or grape-bloom shells depended entirely on his mood.

Once the groups were formed, Li Wei was the first to reach for the teleportation portal, and as soon as he entered, even though it was nearly a mile away, he immediately attracted Ratahn's attention.

Perhaps his remaining will still led him to believe he was on the battlefield, and he immediately drew his great bow, a ghostly light gleaming in his hand, as a stone arrow, several times longer than Li Wei, materialized.

Li Wei's chrysanthemum was sore from watching, but he had to finish the act, even if it was a tearful one.

After yelling again and dodging, he charged toward Rataen.

The remaining ruins of battle flags on the scene could not stop the exaggeratedly large arrows. They could only grit their teeth and charge forward, keeping their eyes fixed on the arrow shafts and dodging when they were shot.

However, despite the wonderful idea, this super strong man didn't give them a chance at all, and just raised his hand to unleash a scattering attack.

Seeing the barrage of arrows hurtling towards him, Li Wei didn't even bother to dodge.

Because he knew that this thing was a two-stage firing device.

Li Wei gave a thumbs-up and smiled slightly at Rataen before being blasted into the ground by a giant arrow. The next second, a second wave of arrows rained down on his corpse.

After Li Wei was resurrected, he saw a group of people in the distance being bombarded by a barrage of arrows every one or two seconds, unable to lift their heads. Although someone occasionally threw lightning spears to retaliate, they didn't even make a dent when they hit the enemy.

This brutal scene made everyone grimace and their teeth ache.

This guy is a one-man army. Li Wei also knows that this is no longer the time to conserve heavy weapons and launch a counterattack on Night City.

They started distributing rocket launchers, intending to have the Legion engage in a firefight with Ratahn, this super-strong man, or at least force him into close combat to wear down his stamina.

Although he knew that the rocket launcher might not be able to hurt him under the protection of gravity magic, it would still deplete his stamina faster.

The top-tier superhumans are simply beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Despite the sour feeling, the morale of the assassins in the Dark Souls world was off the charts. Some even went back to secretly call for reinforcements, all understanding that this was a rare opportunity to encounter a madman who wouldn't run away.

Once this superhuman is burned, it means you won't have to worry about anything for a while.

It's more effective than killing grunts in the Kree world for years.

Without Li Wei saying a word, a minute later the second group, without even caring whether the first group was dead or not, rushed straight in.

They charged straight in, ignoring the respawn points, and it wasn't until nearly three minutes later that they began close-quarters combat.

Then Li Wei and the others watched as Rataen unleashed his full power in the crowd, rapidly slashing back and forth with his dual swords, unleashing gravity lightning, scattering arrows, and summoning gravity meteors to smash the ground.

When a large number of people gather together, they spread their arms in front of their chests and use gravity to attract the surrounding killers, then explode, sending limbs flying everywhere.

Extremely brutal.
