Chapter 194: Chapter194-Obtaining the Assassin Divine Class; The Human Race Is in Danger

Prince Pate’s HP instantly dropped by one-third.

He stared at the wound on his body in terror and disbelief. The human before him had actually broken through his defenses with such ease.

"Impossible! How could you possibly possess such strength?"

Prince Pate felt as though his entire understanding of the world had been overturned.

In his knowledge, humans had always been incomparably weak.

Even the stronger among them could, at most, stand on equal footing with the Demon Race.

Yet the human before him had completely crushed the Demon Race in terms of sheer strength.

It was unbelievable!

John could not be bothered to waste any more words on him. He threw out two more punches, and two outrageously massive damage numbers instantly appeared above Prince Pate’s head.

[-1,799,668!]

[-1,578,567!]

The two punches struck Prince Pate’s torso solidly, causing the wounds on his body to tear open even further.

His enormous body was instantly broken in half.

[You have killed Demon Race Prince Pate, Lv. 350. EXP +10 billion, Fame +10 billion, Gold Coins +100 million!]

[You have completed the Assassin Divine Class quest!]

Hearing the notifications ringing in his ears, a faint smile finally appeared on John’s face.

"Now, only the three Divine Classes of Mage, Priest, and Archer remain.

"Once I complete the quests for those three Divine Classes, I’ll be able to break through the Level 250 Divine Class threshold and reach the Level 300 Divine Class tier!"

Once a player entered the Divine Class realm, there was no longer any such thing as an ordinary level limit.

What remained was the need to accumulate various Divine Class Points and break through the five major Divine Class tiers!

It was no exaggeration to say that Level 300 represented an enormous dividing line.

Whether a player could cross that dividing line depended entirely on their luck.

However, John’s luck seemed quite good right now.

He had only just entered the All-Race Battlefield, yet he had already triggered the Assassin Divine Class quest.

The quests required to trigger the remaining three profession-based Divine Classes probably would not be too difficult either.

Just as John was thinking about this, a tsunami-like barrage of system notifications suddenly exploded in his ears.

[Your Level 250 Crimsonflame Dragon pet duplicate has been killed by the Swarmborn!]

[Your Level 250 Frost Phoenix pet duplicate has been killed by the Swarmborn!]

[Your Level 250 Terra Azure Dragon pet duplicate has been killed by the Swarmborn!]

...

The notifications continued ringing without pause.

John’s expression changed drastically.

"What’s going on? Why are so many of them suddenly dying?"

His face darkened.

The Swarmborn coalition had actually chosen this moment to make their move. The situation on the pet army’s side was probably already turning dire.

His figure immediately flashed as he sped toward the location of his pets.

...

Roar!

In Demon Race territory, the slaughter was still continuing.

This entire region had already been completely surrounded by the endless Swarmborn tide.

The pets trapped inside the encirclement were being forced back again and again, utterly unable to resist.

The instant they released their skills, specialized breeds among the Swarmborn that possessed the ability to absorb skills would devour them.

Vast waves of flames and frost were completely absorbed. Some of those devouring insect breeds could even return the absorbed attacks against the pets.

Under the endless barrage of attacks, many pets were either burned into ashes or frozen into ice sculptures.

Not only were these Swarmborn tremendously numerous, but their reproductive ability was also incredibly powerful.

Their numbers had now reached more than a billion.

Moreover, the weakest among them started at Level 200, whereas John’s pets were merely ordinary SSS-rank pets that had only just broken through to Level 250.

Before such an enormous insect tide, these pets were indeed far from enough.

Gadiel hovered in midair, coldly watching as the insect tide gradually devoured the pets.

His face was completely expressionless.

"These pathetic creatures actually managed to crush Demon Race territory? It seems the Demon Race was nothing impressive after all."

"Speaking of which, why has John still not appeared? 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Without John, these humans are... hmph, nothing but a pack of useless trash."

Leading the insect tide under his command, Gadiel quickly devoured every last one of John’s pets.

In this battle, the Swarmborn had lost less than one-tenth of their forces.

In fact, because they had devoured such a large number of pets, they had obtained even more sources of energy, causing their reproduction speed to accelerate further.

It was estimated that, within ten minutes, the insect tide would quickly replenish itself back to its original numbers before the battle began.

"Heh. Now that the pets are gone as well, the Human Race can just wait for death."

Gadiel sneered as his gaze fell upon the distant city.

Most of the human players had already fled into that city.

At his command, the insect tide instantly surged forward, charging toward the city.

...

Inside the city.

As the players looked at the vast green sky in the distance, their hearts felt incomparably heavy.

"It looks like everything ahead of us is filled with Swarmborn. There’s no end to them at all."

"I see them too. There are far too many Swarmborn! There are actually even more of them than the Guild Leader’s pets."

"We’re done for now. We’re completely finished. With so many Swarmborn, can we really defend this place?"

"At this point, all we can do is believe that the Guild Leader will rush back to support us at the critical moment.

"Until then, we have to defend this city."

"We’ve activated the Human Race Barrier!"

Just then, a flash of light suddenly appeared within the players’ vision.

In the next instant, a gigantic pale blue energy barrier emerged around the entire city.

The energy barrier was incomparably massive, protecting the whole city within it.

This was the barrier exclusive to the Human Race.

In the All-Race Battlefield, every race possessed its own unique barrier.

The strength of a barrier was tied to how prosperous and powerful its race was.

The Human Race was clearly not considered particularly prosperous.

The barrier they formed was only a faint, thin layer. No one knew how long it would be able to withstand the countless Swarmborn forces that were about to attack.

At that moment, two figures flew out from among the gathered players.

They were none other than Anna and Evelyn, the two corps commanders respectively leading the Spiritual Mage Legion and the Holy Healing Priest Legion.

Standing atop the city wall, they called out to everyone.

"Everyone, let us defend this city together!"

"As long as we hold out until Guild Leader John arrives, we will win!"

"Defend this city! Defend the Human Race!"

...

"Break through their defenses."

Hovering in midair, Gadiel looked down at the city below and immediately issued his command.

In the next instant, five billion Swarmborn soldiers poured downward, surrounding the entire city so thoroughly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

When the human players inside the city saw this scene, their expressions instantly became incomparably grave.

They gripped the weapons in their hands tightly, already prepared to fight to the death.

Every single one of them remained stationed on the city wall.

Not one person retreated.

However, under the charge of the countless Swarmborn, the protective barrier was still shattered.

It had failed to hold out for even three minutes.

The players’ faces turned pale, but they still gritted their teeth and engaged the countless Swarmborn in battle.

The entire battlefield instantly transformed into a meat grinder.

Countless lives perished at the same moment.

Just then, a wave of buzzing came from the Swarmborn side.

Following the sound, the players saw an empty space appear within the massive Swarmborn tide.

In that clearing, countless human corpses had been devoured by Swarmborn larvae until only their heads remained.

Those heads had been arranged on the ground to form a gigantic character:

DEATH.

The instant the players saw this scene, towering rage surged within their hearts.

Even if they were weak, that did not mean just any race had the right to humiliate them.

Aside from their advantage in numbers, these Swarmborn had nothing at all.

And creatures like them dared to mock the players of the Human Race?
