The surroundings were a pitch-dark wilderness, with the remains of various creatures scattered everywhere.
Not far ahead of Su Yuan, on top of a square altar, sat a humanoid Star Beast holding a Ghostly Soul Wand, glowing all over with a greenish-blue hue.
[Netherworld Great Mage]
[Grade: Master]
[Level: Bronze High Stage]
"A Bronze High Stage Master Star Beast..." Su Yuanās expression slightly tensed.
Feeling the unrestrained thick Star Power from the opponent, it wasnāt hard to discern that this was undoubtedly a Bronze High Stage Star Beast with C-level Star Power Talent.
It was also the strongest Star Beast he had encountered so far, surpassing even the Golden-eyed Silver-winged Tiger of the same Master Quality.
Compared to the more direct attack methods of the Golden-eyed Silver-winged Tiger, the Netherworld Great Mage in front of him was clearly much trickier.
Just as Su Yuan was assessing the opponent, the Netherworld Great Mage stood up, and sharp, piercing characters emerged from its mouth.
"Ī±Ī½ĪøĻĻĻĪ¹Ī½Ī±ĻĪ½ĻĪ± (human)?"
Although Su Yuan couldnāt understand it, he could feel that this Undead Mage possessed high intelligence.
"Letās test its strength first..."
Su Yuan formed a seal with his left hand. The Gate of Hell opened in front of him, and four Bronze High Stage Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves emerged from it.
"Go."
With a command from Su Yuan, the four massive Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves charged forward simultaneously.
Seeing these Bone Wolves, a hint of surprise flashed across the Netherworld Great Mageās face, seemingly not expecting that Su Yuan would summon Undead Creatures.
The Netherworld Great Mage cackled, raising his Ghostly Soul Wand. Pointing at the four Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves, four greenish energy beams flew from the wand, entangling the steel wolvesā bodies deftly.
In an instant, the running speed of the four Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves dropped by nearly half!
Green Skill: Netherworld Entanglement!
Then the Netherworld Great Mageās wand gathered death energy again, swiftly building up power. In just a few moments, a strong wave of energy surged across a large area ahead!
Su Yuan raised his eyebrow, shouting, "Scatter!"
The four Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves instinctively sensed the danger. Hearing Su Yuanās command, they immediately scattered to the sides without hesitation.
However, under the effect of Netherworld Entanglement, the steel wolvesā speed significantly reduced. They hadnāt managed to get far before a Netherworld Pulse exploded within a range of several tens of meters in diameter!
Two Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves barely escaped from the range, while the remaining two were shattered into scattered fragments of bones on the spot by the powerful Netherworld Pulse!
"Its attack power is indeed formidable. But judging from the pulse explosion just now, it shouldnāt be enough to completely destroy the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves with a single hit. It seems this slowdown skill also has a damage-enhancing effectā¦"
Su Yuan wasnāt too concerned about the sacrificed Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves, quickly analyzing the capabilities of the Netherworld Great Mage in his mind.
The Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves had strong physical defenses, but their resistance to Star Power was limited, making them somewhat countered by Magician-type enemies. Especially since the opponent was a Master Star Beast.
Against opponents of a mid to upper level, the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves could be quite effective. But in this top-tier duel, it mainly depended on his own strength.
He controlled the two Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves to move to the sides, waiting for the right moment to launch the Netherfire Cannon. Silver light flashed in Su Yuanās eyes as he instantly teleported behind the Netherworld Great Mage, swinging a blade infused with Space Cut energy!
The long blade slashed down swiftly. The Netherworld Great Mage was startled, and its entire body instantly transformed into a deep green, ethereal state.
The blade with Space Cut passed through its body directly, having no effect.
"It negated my attack through complete virtualization?" Su Yuanās eyes narrowed slightly. "Similar to that Evil Card Masterās blood-body, but even more troublesome."
Dou Xiaoās blood-body was an energy body, and getting struck by the space force in Space Cut would cause significant energy loss.
The Netherworld Great Mageās move changed its own state directly, rendering Su Yuanās slash completely ineffective, causing no harm at all.
The Netherworld Great Mage turned around, pointing its wand at Su Yuan. The wandās tip brimmed with death energy, shooting out a Netherworld Beam!
Su Yuan enveloped himself in silver light. Just before the Netherworld Beam hit, he used Flashback to teleport several meters away, evading the energy attack.
At that moment, from the sides of the Undead Mage, two Netherfire Cannons, blazing with black flames, came at high speed.
These were the attacks launched by the two Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves Su Yuan had positioned on either side.
Facing this assault, the Netherworld Great Mage remained unperturbed. The Ghostly Soul Wand flicked in front of it, unleashing a shield imbued with death energy.
"Boom boom!"
The two Netherfire Cannons hit the shield simultaneously, causing slight ripples but were easily blocked and extinguished by the death spirit shield.
Witnessing this, Su Yuanās eyes lit up.
"Its ethereal state can completely immunize physical-based attacks, but it cannot resist pure star energy attacksā¦"
In terms of destructive power, Space Cut was undoubtedly stronger. But when the Netherworld Mage entered its ethereal state, it didnāt even need to defend, relying instead on a defense shield against the Netherfire Cannons from the Netherfire Steel Bone Wolves.
At this moment, the Netherworld Great Mageās form solidified again, returning from its ethereal state.
