Chapter 501: Chapter 257: The Despairing Opponent!_3
At the same time, Rangu and the others, witnessing the ineffectiveness of even auras, decided to try another control system: sealing.
They all used their Demonization Skills and cursed Tools to cast a Sealing Ability on Chen Mo. However, it was no use. After all, under the effect of the Immune Divine Pendant, neither sealing nor auras could take effect.
At this point, the people from the Yongming Star System were truly at a loss, having exhausted almost all status effects. Aside from curses, they had no other means to affect Chen Mo. But applying a curse wasn’t something one could simply do at will.
Watching his summons get reverse summoned again, Chen Mo once again deployed his Skeleton Summoning Skill. At the same time, he had already decided what trait to look for when next combining Skeleton Summoning Skills: he had to find a trait that granted immunity to reverse summoning effects. This was truly a perverse ability capable of completely shutting down summoning-type professionals. If Chen Mo were just an ordinary summoning-type professional, these three continuous waves of reverse summoning would certainly have claimed his life. After all, the cooldowns for the summoning Skills of ordinary summoning-type professionals were not short. Having all summoned creatures instantly cleared was equivalent to a physical professional being disarmed or a magic system professional being silenced. They were left completely at the mercy of the attacker.
After the first wave of reverse summoning concluded, Chen Mo cast his summoning Skills again. The people from the Yongming Star System were only surprised that Chen Mo hadn’t been afflicted with a ’Summoning Prohibited’ status; they weren’t surprised by his summoning cooldown. After all, a significant amount of time had passed between his first summon and this one. But now, it was different. The people from the Yongming Star System had just seen Chen Mo summon a wave mere seconds ago. After his creatures were reverse summoned, he once again instantly summoned millions of Skeleton Monsters.
This was simply astonishing! It implied his Skill cooldown was extremely short. It was so short it was unbelievable.
This was because summoning Skills were, in essence, similar in power to a Mage’s Skills. The number and attribute strength of the Skeleton Monsters Chen Mo currently summoned, if translated into Mage terms, would definitely be a Super Taboo Spell. Was it reasonable for a Skill comparable to a Super Taboo Spell to have such a short cooldown time? This was just too damn unreasonable!
Rangu and the others were so shocked they nearly called the authorities. Was this person from Earth still human? They didn’t even know how to report this; he seemed to have no weaknesses! If it were just that his cooldowns were short, that would be one thing. They could have countered with a negative effect to prolong his cooldowns. But he was immune to all status effects! If status effects couldn’t be applied, how could they target his weaknesses? His summoned creatures were cleared, only to be instantly resummoned. Status effects didn’t stick, and Instant Kill Attacks were useless. Even when ten top-tier assassins from the instances—their attributes and damage massively boosted by Demonization enhancement Skills—attacked his true body directly, he didn’t even get a scratch! Auras were ineffective, seals were ineffective, attacking his true body was useless, and reverse summoning was useless!
Facing such a despair-inducing opponent, Randy and the others felt the light dim in their eyes. They truly had no idea how to continue this battle.
Rangu, his eyes devoid of light and filled with deep despair, said, “There’s no way. We simply can’t handle him. A four-star is simply not enough; only the transcendent Skills of a five-star after Demonization might possibly break through his abilities. We can only transmit the news.
“Let it be our final contribution to the Yongming Star System! Mo Lingxi, make sure to clear his summons one last time. The rest of you, hurry and commit suicide to pass on the message!”
As these people kept using reverse summoning, and Chen Mo found his Space-Time Pearl and Pearl of Extreme Cold couldn’t control them, he realized his own control methods were still lacking. If only he could combine a divine-grade control Skill!
But the current situation remained overwhelmingly in Chen Mo’s favor. Despite the Yongming Star System exhausting all their methods, they were still utterly powerless against Chen Mo. As for Chen Mo, he had merely been hit by a few reverse summons, and it wasn’t a technique the enemy could use indefinitely. They were simply delaying their own deaths.
Seeing the people from the Yongming Star System suddenly begin to commit suicide in succession, Chen Mo instantly understood their plan. This method of transmitting messages via a suicide cipher was something people from Earth also knew and used. After all, Earth had a long history of cryptography. Chen Mo had read about various suicide-based information transmission methods in the university library. However, under normal circumstances, it was impossible to use this method, as not everyone could resurrect infinitely.
Without the curse demonization status, they could typically only perform this type of cipher transmission once a day. After all, most resurrection Skills had a cooldown of more than a day.
Chen Mo was indifferent to the Aliens beginning to transmit messages. Because his most crucial information hadn’t been leaked—neither his divine stealth ability nor the fact that he didn’t need summons and possessed heaven-defying combat power on his own. These were abilities capable of turning the tide of battle. The enemy didn’t know this. Any calculations they made were pointless!
Although he wasn’t concerned about them transmitting information about the abilities he had shown so far, it was always better to expose less. Thus, he gave them no time, directly ordering the Skeleton Monsters to attack again.
On the other side, Mo Lingxi, clutching the last reverse summoning cursed Tool, used it at that very moment. Instantly, the Skeleton Monsters vanished once more.
Seeing this, Chen Mo was somewhat annoyed. The enemy knew they themselves only had three uses of this ability, but Chen Mo wasn’t aware of that. He even considered going on the offensive himself, but seeing as the enemy were already fish in a barrel, he decided to continue summoning Skeleton Monsters. An ability that could instantly cripple a summoning-type professional’s combat power clearly couldn’t be used indefinitely.
As Chen Mo summoned Skeleton Monsters to launch a ranged attack again, this time, the people from the Yongming Star System genuinely had no way to use reverse summoning again. But they still had methods to counter ranged attacks.
Instantly, various abilities to reflect or block projectiles appeared one after another. Whether it was the Healing Wave Chen Mo cast or the Skeleton Monsters’ ranged attacks, all were completely blocked.
Undeniably, with the protection of various powerful cursed Tools comparable to god-grade items, and the coordination of various potent Demonization Skills, the Yongming Star System members’ abilities to stay alive were quite impressive. However, the more cursed Tools they used, the more severely their overall combat effectiveness was drained.
Most of them had fallen under powerful curses, rendering them virtually combat-ineffective. Seeing these people still desperately trying to delay, Chen Mo immediately refreshed his summons, calling forth a mix of half melee and half ranged Skeleton Monsters to charge them.
In fact, Chen Mo’s Divine Replication Seal records included the Super Taboo Spell Aina had previously cast. Chen Mo could have saved and used this ability. But Chen Mo considered that the enemy possessed numerous cursed Tools and likely had comprehensive defenses. A single Super Taboo Spell would hardly defeat them. Using it would only expose more of his own extraordinary capabilities, so Chen Mo decided against it. He would deal with them using only summoning Skills. No matter how many cursed Tools they had, they would eventually run out.
And indeed, as Chen Mo summoned a large host of mixed melee and ranged Skeleton Monsters that charged the Yongming Star System’s cursed Demonization Brigade, they finally could no longer hold out.
As they were simultaneously trying to commit suicide and being slaughtered by the Skeleton Monsters, the death cipher messages received by the Yongming Star System became chaotic. After all, those killed by Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monsters would not die in the sequence required for the cipher. The moment the cipher became disordered, the Yongming Star System knew their people were being eliminated by Chen Mo.
However, by the time Chen Mo succeeded in killing them, they had managed to transmit a considerable amount of information. Information such as his immunity to all status effects and invulnerability to Instant Kill Attacks had mostly been transmitted.
Upon receiving this information, the high-ranking members of the Yongming Star System knew that this operation was doomed to fail.
“Sigh, as expected. Even four-stars enhanced by curse Demonization couldn’t do anything to him,” one of them said with a look of sorrow.
“It’s not a total loss. At least they managed to send back so much vital information!” another person remarked. Although they lamented the loss of their Star System’s young elites, they still felt a sliver of relief at obtaining so much enemy intelligence.
