It felt so good to be close to the witch!

Even the most oblivious of the overlord beasts in the smoke and dust realized something was wrong. The energy fluctuations erupting from three sides of its body were no less powerful than its own.

Even the most bloodthirsty and insane monsters, as long as they retain a shred of reason, will instinctively want to escape to what they subconsciously consider the safest place when faced with mortal danger.

The Overlord Beast believed that the safest place was underground.

However, Fuma and her companions attacked too quickly and too suddenly, and the overlord monster could no longer escape back underground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a muffled explosion that rang out almost simultaneously, the massive body of the overlord monster rose from the ground and soared dozens of meters into the air.

A powerful shockwave swept in all directions, tearing away layers of snow and dissipating the dust, revealing the true form of the overlord monster to everyone.

Its body is spherical, with a radius of about ten meters. It is covered with fine brownish-yellow scales, each scale engraved with patterns. When all the scales are combined, they vaguely form a ferocious, roaring human face.

Was the original form of this overlord monster before its mutation a pangolin?

Two hundred meters away, at the edge of the battlefield, Roy looked up at the overlord monster high in the sky and wondered what was going on.

At the same time, he also noticed that there were three slight dents on the surface of the masked pangolin's body, with broken scales and blackish-red blood constantly seeping out.

These three wounds were caused by the attacks from Fuma and the other two.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a tough and powerful monster, enduring attacks from three legendary knights and only suffering such minor injuries...

Roy was surprised.

When the kinetic energy reached zero and the body reached its peak, the black light flashed in the eyes of the demonic pangolin's face, and then it suddenly fell, smashing towards Doug.

Of the three legends, Fuma has the strongest aura fluctuations, Andrew is physically imposing, and only Doug has the weakest aura fluctuations and appears "delicate" in physique, making him seem the easiest to bully.

The principle of picking the softest persimmon is something even Warcraft understands.

The sonic booms echoed in all directions, and wherever the masked pangolin passed, it left behind rings of white sonic clouds. The earthy yellow magical glow settled and lingered on the surface of the masked pangolin's body, giving it an indestructible appearance.

What is it like to face a solid sphere with a radius of about ten meters and a density greater than metal falling from a height of nearly 100 meters at high speed?

Even just watching from the sidelines, Roy's body instinctively tensed up.

Such an attack is beyond what flesh and blood can withstand.

Even a legendary knight who has achieved a body imbued with battle aura would be severely injured, and might even be in mortal danger, if he were to take such an attack head-on.

The wise thing to do is to avoid this blow.

But Doug did not dodge, because he knew very well that the best way to deal with a burrowing beast like the Ghost-Faced Pangolin was to kill it in mid-air before it could touch the ground.

He gripped the crimson spear in both hands, the intense flames of his battle aura clinging to it. He compressed and condensed the power of his domain, which was now concentrated within a half-meter radius, to strengthen his entire body. In an instant, a dazzling red, glass-like armor appeared on his body, perfectly fitting him.

"Armor of the Flame God!"

Red particles, like smoke and mist, surged from the gaps in the "Armor of the Flame God," rapidly expanding and forming, in a very short time, a giant crimson energy lizard with exceptionally clear layers and details, almost indistinguishable from a real creature.

"Roar--!"

The sound waves surged like waves, roaring and raging.

The crimson giant lizard raised its head, and a beam of energy ten meters thick shot into the sky, striking the descending masked pangolin.

"Boom!"

The ring-shaped shockwave of battle aura continued to expand, and the shattered red battle aura particles scattered outwards.

The swooping pangolin was stopped in its tracks for a long time by Doug's all-out attack, preventing it from falling any further.

Just then, two figures appeared beside the masked pangolin.

It was none other than Fuma and Andrew, who were also unleashing their full power.

Both of them were adorned with dazzling armor, but unlike Doug, Andrew's "Armor of the Flame God" was much thicker, completely covering his entire body without leaving any gaps, while Fuma's "Armor of the Flame God" was a crimson gold color, shining brightly under the sunlight, and was exceptionally luxurious.

Both men were wielding knight's swords, and their simultaneous attacks were like two giant beams of light piercing the sky, striking the masked pangolin one after the other.

"Qiang——!"

Amidst the ear-piercing metallic clang and the crisp "crackling" sounds, this time, even the masked pangolin, with its extremely strong physical defense as a dominant magical beast, couldn't withstand the full force of Fuma and her companions' attack.

Fuma and Andrew's sword light pierced through the body of the masked pangolin in an "X" shape. Then, the breath of the crimson energy giant lizard that Doug had transformed into below also broke through the masked pangolin's defense, forcing its rolled-up body to unfold and exposing its relatively soft abdomen.

The scorching breath struck the "weak point" in the abdomen, and the masked pangolin let out a shrill scream. At this moment, Fuma and Andrew exchanged a glance and simultaneously tightened their grip on the knight's sword.

"Thorn-"

With a sound like tough cowhide being torn apart, the massive body of the masked pangolin was cleaved in two by the sword light, cut in half at the waist, and black and red blood splattered everywhere as its upper and lower halves fell to the ground simultaneously.

"That was... truly amazing!"

Looking out into the distance from the battlefield, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

This battle of annihilation lasted only a dozen seconds. In the blink of an eye, the powerful overlord monster, the Ghost-Faced Pangolin, was cut in half.

From the moment the masked pangolin appeared and Fuma and the others worked together to send it flying a hundred meters into the air, to the spectacular combined attack that followed, everything showcased the decisiveness of the legendary knight.

When they strike, it's nothing; but when they do strike, it's with overwhelming force!

The skills displayed by the three in this battle also broadened Roy's horizons.

Roy had seen the "Armor of the Flame God" before, so it wasn't anything special. What really intrigued Roy was the energy behemoth that Doug had transformed into.

The Golden Peak Knight's "true form" can only summon energy phantoms, which are worlds apart from the living, solid energy giant lizard that Doug transformed into.

Behind Roy, Elena and Tonigne were also filled with shock.

Although they didn't show it after being promoted to the Grand rank, they were actually quite complacent, believing that their strength was already sufficient.

But now, having witnessed this legendary battle firsthand, they deeply realized that compared to true powerhouses, their strength was far from sufficient.

Not only the two of them, but also the other four witches who were hiding in the shadows were shocked.

Even a legendary being, even just a one-star legendary being, is far more powerful than any single Grand Witch. Even Ais, the most powerful of the women, would only be able to hold out for a few rounds against a one-star legendary being before inevitably being defeated.

Of course, the reason for emphasizing the individual is that the combined talents of the witches are not as simple as 1+1=2, but rather exponentially increased.

With the combined power of six Grand Witches, it is possible to defeat a Legendary One-Star Knight.

Having witnessed the end of the battle, Roy stepped forward, intending to take advantage of the situation. Even if he hadn't defeated the masked pangolin and couldn't activate the [Heart of Leviathan] to condense into "Blood Soul Essence," he could at least absorb some of the magic power within the masked pangolin.

The energy converted from legendary-level magic is far more effective for cultivation than the energy from high-purity magic crystals, only slightly inferior to the magic of the Great Witch and the energy of top-tier magic crystals.

……

In the center of the battlefield.

Fuma and Andrew landed on the ground and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Despite the brevity of the battle, both fighters unleashed their full power to ensure a 100% victory over the overlord beast, consuming an enormous amount of battle qi. Even with the legendary knight's regenerative abilities, it would take them quite some time to recover.

Compared to the two, Doug was far more exhausted, and his face turned somewhat pale.

Defeating and killing are two different things.

Among those of the same level, even if someone is stronger and can defeat their opponent, killing them is basically impossible.

If the opponent is outmatched, they will choose to run away.

A being that reaches the legendary level can increase its speed by burning its soul, making it virtually impossible to catch up if it is focused on escaping.

In order to kill the overlord monster, the three of them unleashed their full power at the very beginning of the battle, leaving the Ghost-Faced Pangolin with no chance to burn its soul and escape before it perished in the siege.

Although the cost was enormous, it was all worth it to annihilate the overlord monster.

Fuma and Andrew went to the upper half of the pangolin's body, while Doug went to the lower half.

Andrew and Doug's mission is to retrieve the corpse of the Overlord Monster, while Fuma is to collect some of the Overlord Monster's "energy" for research.

The corpses of overlord monsters are extremely valuable. Their scales can be used to forge top-tier "epic" level armor, and their blood is the best material for enchanting... Moreover, this overlord ghost-faced pangolin was mutated by a "man-made large-scale magic pulse point," and the "destructive energy" on its body has great research value.

As they drew closer, the enormous body of the masked pangolin resembled a collapsed rock mountain, towering before the three of them.

In terms of pure physical strength, it is very difficult for humans to compete with monsters, after all, the difference in size and weight between the two sides is too great.

Humans' strength compared to monsters lies in their fighting spirit and various powerful secret techniques.

The dead masked pangolin was surrounded by concentric rings of a hazy yellow light, an anomaly caused by the gradually collapsing domain.

Andrew and Doug took out specially made large knives from their spatial rings, preparing to dismember the monster's corpse. They had brought many spatial rings, but none of them had a large capacity, so they needed to be divided and processed properly before they could be properly equipped.

Fuma also took out a small obsidian-colored box. This was the highest-level preservation device she had retrieved from the family treasury, containing top-tier magic crystals as "nourishment" to preserve "destructive energy" for an even longer period.

Just as the three were about to make their move, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, the black patterns on the two halves of the demon-faced pangolin's corpse condensed into a single point, which then shot out at a speed invisible to the naked eye. The three people, including Fuma, who were very close by, changed their expressions drastically and immediately raised their battle aura shields to defend themselves.

However, the black thorns derived from the jet-black patterns seemed to have extremely strong penetrating power. The battle aura shield that the three of them activated with all their might was pierced through without even having a moment to resist.

With three sharp "sizzles," the black thorn pierced through the chests of the three men. As the black aura spread, their bodies stiffened, their fighting spirit became lifeless and difficult to mobilize, and even their soul fire was shrouded in shadow, its brightness plummeting.

"Gulu gulu..."

Amidst the eerie sounds, the two massive sections of the masked pangolin's corpse seemed to transform into black, hot wax, beginning to melt and flow, eventually coalescing into a pool of black mud.

"[Extreme evil] will eventually descend..."

A muffled sound rang out.

A strange figure slowly rose from the black mud swamp. The black mud on the ground seemed to have a life of its own. With each rise of the figure, the black mud swamp shrank back a circle. When the figure stood completely on the ground, the black mud swamp had completely merged into its body.

This is a monster about three meters tall, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a spider.

Its humanoid upper body was covered in patterns that converged in front of it to form a hideous human face. Its spider-like lower body had eight sharp legs that gleamed with a cold, eerie light. On its three raised spider spears were the bodies of Fuma, Andrew, and Doug.

The three of them were constantly flashing with battle aura, clearly fighting against something. If given enough time, they might be able to break free of their restraints.

But how could the spider-man monster possibly give them time?

Three more jet-black spider spears rose up, their sharp tips aimed at the three men's foreheads.

Even with the vitality of a legendary knight, being pierced through the brain would be certain death!

As if sensing the danger to their lives, the fighting spirit on the three of them flickered even more intensely, but they still could not move their bodies and could only watch helplessly as the cold spear tip slowly pierced towards their brows.
