Chapter 346 - 347: Instant Kill!
[The final supplementary judgment is as follows: Human race contestant Vera, the qualification to compete is retained, the second match will proceed as scheduled.]
[However, if the Human race wins this match, they will not receive any points.]
[On the contrary, if the Deadbeast Clan or Demon Clan wins, they will receive double points, that is four points!]
[This judgment is final and cannot be changed. Deadbeast Clan and Demon Clan, any objections to this?]
Double points!
With this supplementary judgment, the clamoring from the Deadbeast and Demon camps immediately quieted down.
The Human race wins, no points?
Then we lose nothing, after all, that elf seems really hard to deal with.
But if we win, we can directly get 4 points!
It’s like getting a victory for free!
Although we still have to face that terrifying elf, the risk and reward seem to...
Become acceptable?
The Frost Serpent and the three Totem-level Demon powerhouses quickly communicated with Divine Sense for a moment.
Indeed, although this result didn’t completely eliminate Aster Grant, the biggest variable, it at least limited the Human race’s scoring and gave them a chance to gain high rewards.
In the situation where the rules cannot be completely overturned, this might be the most favorable condition they could strive for at present.
Finally, the Frost Serpent, on behalf of the Deadbeast, and another Totem-level Demon representative for the Demon Clan, almost simultaneously spoke in a deep voice:
"We... have no objections!"
"Demon Clan, no objections!"
[Good! Since there are no objections, let’s start the second match!]
[Will the Demon Clan’s contestant please enter the arena!]
In the sky, the mechanical female voice made the final proclamation.
Only...
Even though the three Totem-level Demon leaders agreed to the judgment with added conditions, the Demon warrior nominated for the second match at Half-Step Totem Level was trembling violently...
Immense fear almost consumed him!
He looked desperately across the Kratosium—
At the elf, Vera, standing still beside Aster Grant.
In her clear eyes, there was not a trace of emotion, only a supreme indifference like looking down on ants.
If he gets on stage, he will definitely die!
He suddenly turned his head and cast a pleading glance toward the three Totem-level Demon lords on the high platform, his voice trembling:
"Lords! Can we... can we just forfeit this battle?"
"That elf... I’m no match for her!"
However, the three Totem-level Demons didn’t even lift an eyelid, completely ignoring his plea.
One of the leaders issued a cold command, the voice echoing throughout the Demon Clan:
"All Monarch-level, Half-step Totem-level Demons, heed the order, pour all your Demonic Qi into the contestant!"
This order instantly froze the heart of the Demon contestant.
He looked up incredulously, and the last shred of hope in his eyes was completely extinguished.
Forcing the combined Power of all present Middle and High-tier Demons into him?
This indeed could push his Power to unimaginable heights within a short time, even temporarily breaking through to Totem level.
But what is the cost?
His body, which was only at Half-step Totem level, could never withstand such overwhelming and violent Energy!
The only result is—
No matter the outcome, he will explode and die from being unable to control this Power!
This was clearly asking him to use his Life to probe the depths of that elf, to consume her Power as much as possible.
However, as a Lesser Demon, he had no right to defy the orders of the higher-ups.
After the deep despair came a deathly calm acceptance.
He trembled as he lowered his head, squeezing out a response through clenched teeth:
"Yes... as you command, Sire..."
With his acquiescence, from the edge of the Kratosium, dozens of strands of Demonic Qi of varying intensity suddenly arose, roaring as they surged from all directions into his body!
"Arghhhhh—!"
A pained shriek rang out instantly.
The body of the Demon warrior ballooned and twisted as if inflated, veins bulged on the skin surface, and scales shattered, with dark purple blood seeping out from the cracks.
His aura surged madly like a rocket, breaking through the limits of Half-step Totem level in the blink of an eye, fiercely stepping into the Domain of Totem level...
And the momentum didn’t stop, it soared all the way, stabilizing at a terrifying level equivalent to Totem Tier Two!
However, this Power was extremely unstable, the violent Energy dashed around wildly within him.
This caused the space around him to ripple slightly, his body surface covered with cobweb-like cracks, like a porcelain piece that could shatter completely at any moment.
The pain had nearly driven him insane, leaving only beast-like roars.
But none of the Demons cared about his pain...
He was just a disposable tool to be used.
[Demon Clan contestant, enter the arena immediately!]
The mechanical female voice issued the final urging.
At the same time, Aster Grant gestured Lazuli to leave the Kratosium.
Before leaving, Lazuli cast a hateful glance at Vera, who had been nestled in Aster Grant’s arm all along.
Endure for now!
Once this Divine Realm event is over, she’ll make this elf understand...
Who the real master is!!!
And Vera, sensing the aura emanating from that Demon, slowly lifted her head from Aster Grant’s embrace.
She didn’t even look back at Aster Grant, just spoke in a cool and indifferent tone, as if stating an everyday matter:
"Master, he’s too noisy, and the stench on him is affecting us..."
"Can I dispose of him?"
Aster Grant looked at Vera, who seemed to take it for granted, even with a hint of disdain.
Aster Grant nodded:
"Make it quick."
He was now also curious about the extent of Vera’s true strength.
Without him backing her, can she really confront this Demon whose aura reaches Totem Tier Two?
In the instant of receiving permission, a trace of coldness belonging to a Hunter flickered in Vera’s originally indifferent eyes.
She didn’t make any exaggerated starting motions, just elegantly raised a slender hand, and lightly clenched it toward the massive figure ahead.
No incantation chanting, no brilliant radiance, but the rules of the entire Kratosium seemed to be rewritten in that instant.
Countless huge phantom vines, glowing a bright green, emerged unbidden from The Void!
These vines weren’t corporeal, yet they emanated the purest wave of the Law of Life.
"Roar?!"—
After an extremely frightened roar, those vines, as if alive, instantly entwined him, squeezing tightly!
The rampant Totem-level Demonic Qi within him, faced these vines like a nemesis, rapidly dissolving, dispersing!
More terrifyingly, he could clearly feel...
His immense Life Force was being uncontrollably extracted, devoured by those dark golden vines!
His swollen body withered visibly quickly, the roars rapidly grew weak, the madness and pain in his eyes replaced by endless fear and stillness.
In just two or three breaths, a massive creature whose aura matched Totem Tier Two...
Under Vera’s casual clutch, turned into a dried-up husk utterly devoid of Life Energy.
Then, with a "poof," shattered into a sky full of ashes, vanished without a trace.
The Kratosium, once again fell into deadly silence.
Instant kill!
A genuine, undisputed instant kill!
