Chapter 453: Chapter 240: Incompatible Strength! (Four-in-one)_4 With a clear target, Chen Mo immediately ordered the Skeleton Monsters to change direction, hurling all their attacks toward the center of the magic array. Facing Chen Mo’s onslaught, the Cultists seemed undeterred, continuing their eerie incantations. As Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters bombarded the center of the magic array, a potent surge of Magic Power suddenly erupted from within it. Instantly, a strange and deep hole, resembling a Black Hole, appeared in the magic array’s center. This terrifying cavity spiraled continuously, sucking in surrounding trees, rocks, even the Miasma Poison Gas, and the arrows and Energy Bomb Attack from the Skeleton Monsters. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 If the two villagers hadn’t been bound securely, they too might have been swept away. Chen Mo quickly cast a shield Skill on them. According to The Heavenly Path’s Hint regarding the task’s timing, the villagers shouldn’t die so soon, but it was better to be safe than sorry. With the appearance of the strange Black Hole at the magic array’s center, it began absorbing everything in its vicinity. At that moment, the Cultists’ bodies also began to change. Their eyes glowed with a crimson light, their skin darkened, and a visible black liquid began to surge from their bodies, as if an unseen power was swelling within them. Their eyes grew wild, completely devoid of reason and humanity, their entire beings morphing into something demonic. Radiating an aura of darkness, they appeared even more terrifying than before. Under the influence of this dark power, their attributes suddenly became extraordinarily powerful, surpassing even high-ranking professionals. Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn’t help but frown. These seemingly weak Cultists have somehow become incredibly powerful with the help of the magic array. The worst part is their immortality. That’s the thorniest problem! To kill them, the magic array has to be broken first. But the magic array swallows any attack, making it virtually unbreakable. This traps me in a seemingly insolvable cycle. With that path blocked, Chen Mo began to think of other ways to break the magic array. The Cultists, however, were not idle. It seemed they could see Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters. Once fully augmented, they launched an attack from a distance, aiming at Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters. All the Cultists were adept in dark Spells, their Spells surprisingly lethal. Combined with their enhanced attributes, any ordinary person encountering them would surely keep a wide berth. However, they didn’t simply leverage their amplified attributes to attack Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters. Instead, they chose to perform a Prayer Ceremony to unleash a bizarre assault. The Cultists’ hand gestures began to change mysteriously, and in unison, they loudly chanted in a strange language Chen Mo had never heard. While reciting the bizarre incantation, they all raised their hands, pointing their index fingers at Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters. Their incantation grew louder and faster, as if summoning something. Soon, Chen Mo felt the magic elements in the air begin to surge violently. A suppressive atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire area. A dark magical Energy emerged around the Cultists, swallowing everything like a Black Hole. Next, the Cultists opened their mouths, spewing out wisps of black smoke. The smoke quickly spread in the air, forming a massive black cloud. The black cloud rotated in the air with increasing speed, resembling a gigantic black hurricane threatening to engulf everything. CRACK! CRACKLE! As Heaven Shaking roars echoed, the black cloud suddenly burst apart. Streaks of black lightning shot out from the cloud in a frenzy, like dark dragons, hurtling toward Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters. The black lightning moved at blinding speed, as if capable of traversing space, appearing before Chen Mo and his Skeleton Monsters almost instantly. Chen Mo could discern that these black lightning strikes were nothing like ordinary attacks. These black lightning bolts carried a terrifying destructive power. Each one brought Chen Mo a strong sense of threat, as if imbued with a force of annihilation. As the black lightning rained down mercilessly upon Chen Mo’s ranks, the Skeleton Monsters near him began to explode, turning into piles of white bone dust before vanishing completely. Regardless of how thick their shields or how high their Health, each lightning bolt was enough to instantly reduce a Skeleton Monster to dust. However, the lightning didn’t have the same effect when it hit Chen Mo. So this lightning just has the ability to instantly kill summoned creatures, Chen Mo realized. Of course, the lightning itself deals high damage, but it isn’t as threatening as it first appeared. Seeing that the black lightning’s display was formidable but its actual threat wasn’t that great, Chen Mo stopped paying it much attention and refocused on how to resolve the current predicament. After careful observation, he suddenly noticed that the same symbols appearing on the ground were also visible on the Cultists’ bodies. Could the symbols on their bodies be connected to the symbols forming the magic array on the ground?
