Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 384 One Against Two, Triggering the Illusion of the Evil Star, the Void Insect Devours the Dragon King Ants
A “truth” that infuriated it seemed to be emerging.

"To be a member of the ancient ocean!"

"How dare you debase yourself, colluding with those lowly land insects to slaughter your sea race?!"

It has mistaken Malzahar for the emperor behind the Mariana Trench, a degenerate emperor who betrayed the ocean and sided with humanity!
Malzaha showed no intention of responding to the rebuke from the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Mother.

For him, this was not a contest of ideologies, nor was it a matter of words; the other party was completely mistaken, for he was not a member of the sea demon race.

This was merely a simple elimination mission assigned by the young master.

The void energy around him suddenly surged, and his slender figure left a gradually dissipating purplish-black afterimage in place. His true form had already torn through space and rushed straight towards the enormous Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Mother!

A battle of kings erupted instantly!

With a wave of his hand, Malzahar unleashed countless sharp, purplish-black energy blades, each capable of cleaving through space, which slashed at the compound eyes and vital joints of the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen like a raging storm.

The Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen let out a sharp mental shriek, and its enormous ant legs, carrying the force to crush mountains and the mind-distorting mirage energy, slammed down. At the same time, thick, tangible illusionary mist spewed from the gaps in its shell, attempting to corrupt Malzahar's mind.

The energy blade and the giant foot collided with a deafening roar!

There was no deafening roar, only the sickening sound of energy annihilation.

The Void Energy Blade continuously shattered the mirage, eroding the demonic power on the giant foot, while the Emperor-level power also caused the Void Shield around Malzahar to ripple violently.

Each clash between the two causes the seawater within a radius of hundreds of miles to boil and evaporate wildly, forming temporary hollow areas!
Meanwhile, the Shark King, seeing Malzahar's aggressive approach and unpredictable methods, knew he couldn't allow him to defeat them one by one.

It let out a deep, thunderous roar, its halberd tearing through the water and creating a terrifying whirlpool, then thrusting straight at Malzahar's back from the side!

However, the Void Prophet remained fearless!

It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head, and his other hand was outstretched with five fingers, facing the rapidly approaching vortex attack.

A similarly rotating void vortex instantly formed and collided with the opponent.

Both vortexes began to vibrate violently, and then disappeared without a trace.

However, at the very moment that Malzahar blocked the attack of the Shark King, the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen seized the opportunity, believing that Malzahar had revealed a weakness!
All the mirage energy and demonic power were poured into the two giant claws at its front without reservation. The giant claws flashed with a dark light, like two guillotines of heaven, crossing and slashing towards Malzahar's waist and abdomen!
This is its all-out attack, determined to cut this strange enemy in half!
But it never expected that this fleeting "flaw" was actually a trap carefully prepared for it by Malzaha!

In the blink of an eye, just as the old power of the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen was released and the new power had not yet been generated, and the power of her whole body was slightly reduced due to this all-out attack, the old power was released and the new power was generated.

A glint of triumphant gleam flashed in Malzahar's cold eyes.

He subtly triggered a fatal trap that had been planted in the other party—the ominous phantom!
"Ugh—!"

The Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen, who was launching a full-scale attack, suddenly let out an extremely shrill mental scream!

It suddenly felt a cold, twisted, and ominous force strike it.

This power did not come from the outside, but rather erupted suddenly from within its own shell, from the depths of its soul! The ominous phantom that had already quietly attached itself to it now became clearly visible, like a cursed fire that had been ignited!
Countless twisted, flickering, and ever-changing purplish-black illusionary runes emerged from its massive body, frantically wrapping around, tightening, and eroding it!

It not only felt excruciating pain, but also felt that its own strength and even its thinking were being polluted and stagnated by this strange power of nothingness!
"Despicable! What have you done?!" Its spirit was filled with shock, anger, and panic.

Without hesitation, the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen activated its life-saving talent.

His body suddenly disintegrated!

The massive, mountain-like body instantly dispersed into tens of thousands of smaller but equally ferocious Dragon King Ants, like an exploding ant colony, attempting to dissipate the insidious curse power in this way.

However, how could the power of the ominous phantom dissipate so easily?

Something devastating happened to it.

No matter how many parts the ominous phantom split into, each of the dragon king ants that spun out was still tightly bound by the clearly visible, ominous purple-black phantom chains!

The splitting not only failed to rid them of the curse, but also caused the resistance of each Dragon King Ant to plummet due to the dispersion of power, and the speed at which they were eroded suddenly accelerated!

Just then, Malzahar raised his hand and struck again with a heavy blow from the Shark King in his rage.

Before the energy ripples from his clash with the Shark King had subsided, he once again pointed at the countless Dragon King Ants scattered across the sky.

"Om-!"

An even more powerful void energy poured in from afar, creating a terrifying resonance with the ominous star illusion!

The next moment, on all the Dragon King Ants marked by the evil star illusion, the space on the most severely corroded carapace parts suddenly underwent a strange "rot"!
Tiny void rifts appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny, ferocious void worms, exuding a pure desire to devour, burst out from within!
As soon as they appeared, they immediately began to devour the Dragon King Ant's body that carried them with the most frenzied ferocity!
These void swarms ignore physical defenses and directly devour energy and the source of life!

In an instant, countless Dragon King Ants emitted dense and painful hisses. Their bodies were hollowed out and dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into bait to nourish the Void Swarm!
Malzahar hovered in the center of the chaotic battlefield, coldly watching everything unfold, as Malzahar, through his own calculations and the power of the void, gradually crumbled and perished.

Although the Shark King's offensive remained fierce, it could no longer stop this cruel feast aimed at the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen.

The Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Queen drove all the Dragon King Ant clones that had not yet been devoured to scatter in all directions, hoping to escape this sea area that had turned into a void hunting ground!
However, Malzahar would not allow his prey to escape.

Faced with the increasingly ferocious and relentless attacks of the Shark King, he moved like a ghost, swaying and weaving between the raging waves and sharp teeth, using only his single arm blade to parry and deflect the force.

At the same time, he raised his other hand and suddenly clenched his five fingers towards the core of the ant swarm that was trying to escape—the Grip of the Underworld!
A powerful void binding force instantly traversed space, precisely descending upon and enveloping the core essence of all the avatars of the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Mother!

It was as if an invisible giant hand from the underworld was tightly gripping it in its palm.

No matter how the scattered dragon king ants struggled and charged, they were firmly sealed off and could not move an inch!

This brutal devouring has become an unavoidable and inescapable form of torture, a form of slow slicing.
