The first to attack were Wen Yuâs three soul pets, launching long-range assaults!
Two blasts of the Flames of Tyranny combined with a Dragon Flame, forming a colossal, two-colored pillar of fire that furiously sprayed towards the Demon Fiends!
Unfortunately, in battles of this level, such a simple form of attack was considered unsophisticated and unlikely to make a significant impact.
The moment the pillar of fire was unleashed, all twenty-six Demon Fiends scattered, evading the onslaught. Subsequently, a variety of long-range skills rained down upon Wen Yuâs three soul pets!
Blaze and frost intertwined, mixed with the power of storms and fluctuations of darkness. In a mere instant, the spot where the three soul pets had stood was riddled with impacts!
However, the three soul pets had already evaded the barrage.
Then, a gaunt, Skeleton-shaped demonic creature activated its skill.
Conversion (A-Class, Active Ability): Exchange position with any unit within sight!
Its target was, shockingly, Star!
With a flicker of strange Energy Fluctuations, Starâs body vanished instantly, replaced by the gaunt skeleton!
Seeing Star disappear from beside him, Cyclops, who had been right next to Star, roared and immediately lunged at the skeleton!
Witnessing Cyclopsâs gaping maw, two green flames suddenly flared within the skeletonâs empty eye sockets!
Gather All (A-Class, Active Skill): Upon activation, pre-designated units are immediately summoned to your side! Maximum of 10 units!
A flash of black light, and seven Demon Fiends of various shapes instantly appeared beside the skeleton!
Among them, a bull demon swung its gigantic bone battle axe, striking Cyclops who had charged forward!
A gruesome wound appeared on Cyclopsâs body, and the massive force sent him flying a great distance!
One five-meter-tall Bone Demon rubbed its bone-like lips together, producing an eerie sound in the Demon Realm Language as it declared, "Our targets are these two dogs..."
Hearing this Bone Demonâs words, a total of eight Demon Fiends charged towards Cyclops and Faceless!
The instant the Skeleton-shaped demonic creature and Star swapped positions, the leading Ancient Demon spawn launched an attack.
It raised its six arms high, an immense power brewing throughout its body. A red glow on its six fists gathered and intensified, bit by bit, until it reached its peak.
Then, at its most powerful...
At the very moment the skeleton and Star exchanged positions, the six arms of the Ancient Demon spawn descended like a gigantic battle axe, crashing down hard upon Starâs body!
The rampant red light on its six arms, seemingly alive, directly infiltrated Starâs body and then exploded violently!
Internal Detonation (A-Class, Active Ability): When activated, the next attack is imbued with the power of flames. Upon hitting an enemy unit, the flame energy will penetrate the enemyâs body and detonate from within, causing massive damage!
It was as if six grenades had detonated inside his body; immense fire-elemental energy erupted from within Star. Six massive, bloody holes instantly appeared on his body. Amidst shattering Scale Armor and torn flesh, Star roared and activated all his abilities!
Dragonâs Aura Field (SS-Class, Active Skill): Once activated, a mysterious field envelops the userâs surroundings. All creatures entering this field will be significantly weakened!
Dragon Blood Amplification (SSS-Class, Active Ability): Burns the blood within the body to amplify all skills and physical attributes! Can be manually deactivated after activation; blood is continuously burned while the skill is active!
Two terrifying abilities activated instantly. Then, coupled with his injuries and the effects of Dragon Blood Amplification, the Demon Dragon Armor manifested an incredibly formidable protective effect!
Star forcibly expelled the energy still wreaking havoc inside him. Then, a terrifying Dragon Flame instantly enveloped his surroundings.
The moment Star activated the Dragonâs Aura Field, the Ancient Demon spawn sensed a significant loss of its power. The Ancient Demon spawn frowned slightly and quickly retreated. Simultaneously, the âbraceletâ on its wrist suddenly transformed!
The bracelet, originally about five centimeters thick, automatically detached from the Ancient Demon spawnâs wrist. Then, the body of the giant serpent demon spawn swelled with the wind, instantly recovering its terrifying dimensionsâfive meters thick and tens of meters long!
Even under the suppression of the Dragonâs Aura Field, the giant serpent demon spawn still possessed tremendous power and lunged directly at Star!
From the giant serpent demon spawnâs mouth, a foul, stinking stream of air slowly condensed upon its two massive venomous fangs!
Death Toxin (S-Class, Passive Ability): A terrifying toxin cultivated within the body, possessing an extremely strong paralyzing effect! For units with a lower level than the host, contact with this toxin is fatal!
At the same time, the Ancient Demon spawnâs second ability activated!
Augmented with Demonic Energy (S-Class, Active Ability): Demonic Qi enhances the hostâs body, comprehensively improving all physical attributes! The enhancement provides a twofold increase! The skill has no time limit but continuously drains stamina while active!
With the Augmented with Demonic Energy ability, its physical attributes, originally suppressed by the Dragonâs Aura Field, experienced a brief recovery. Although it didnât completely nullify the Skill Effects of the Dragonâs Aura Field, it now possessed the strength to contend!
Itâs worth noting that this Ancient Demon spawnâs physical attributes had already reached the Level 4 cap of 500 points. Weakened to 100 points by the Dragonâs Aura Field, then by activating Augmented with Demonic Energy, its physical attributes rose to 200 points!
Adding to this its inherent racial advantages as an Ancient Demon and a demon spawn, its current combat power wasnât much weaker than Starâs!
The terrifying serpentâs maw drew closer and closer to Star, the dreadful toxin it carried causing him to frown.
This stuff... I absolutely canât let it touch me!
Within a single breath, Star had already devised a countermeasure for this giant serpent!
His claws danced, slamming directly onto the giant serpentâs head, smashing it into the ground. Star pinned it down, rendering it completely immobile!
Meanwhile, Star began to gather a ferocious Dragon Flame in his mouth. Boosted by Dragon Blood Amplification, the power of his Dragon Flame was truly terrifying!
Just as Starâs Dragon Flame was about to strike the giant serpent demon spawn, one of the many ordinary Level 4 Demon Fiends, which had just been standing by idly in the distance, activated a skill!
Dizziness (C-Class, Active Ability): Emits a mysterious wave to affect an enemy unitâs mind, inducing a short-term dizzy state. The duration depends on the difference in physical attributes between the two parties!
The skill itself wasnât powerful, and that idly-standing Demon Fiendâs physical attributes werenât strong either, so Star merely faltered for a moment before quickly recovering.
The Dragon Flame from his mouth burst forth, striking the body of the giant serpent demon spawn!
Unfortunately, that was just a shed skin...
