But this time Assal didn't foolishly take the hit head-on; he dodged the oncoming rock spikes with a series of quick movements.

The barrage of bullets kicked up a cloud of dust. Asar dodged it, but the demons behind him weren't so lucky, falling in droves amidst their wails.

"Ah! Farewell, my lord..."

"Hey! It's despicable to ambush onlookers like that!..."

Asar then realized that Ye Xiao seemed to be looking at the demons watching nearby. He was furious, but because he was chanting a spell, he could not shout at them, so he could only suppress his anger and turn his face ashen.

Fortunately, he finally finished chanting the spell he had been preparing, and the black blood seeping from the countless cracks dispersed into tiny blood droplets, floating and spreading across the battlefield.

Chapter 86 Each Displays Their Unique Abilities

Ye Xiao had never seen this spell before, but for some reason, he had a strange sense of déjà vu.

But then the blood droplets gradually coalesced into a black river flowing on the ground, revealing a sinister aura.

"Foolish humans, use your lowly eyes to witness true magic!"

Asar sneered and raised his hand, and a series of dark figures crawled out of the black river.

It contained all sorts of bizarre demons, from the densely packed, lowest-ranking imps and the robust horned wolves to the fat, big-eared abominations, and even the ram-horned executioners and the winged, roaring skeleton dragons...

All sorts of hellish creatures crawled out of the black river, their bodies covered in black blood, like ghosts returning from the abyss.

"These are the races that once swore oaths with me. Feel honored, human! For you too will become one of them!!!"

Asar moved slowly forward, surrounded by the hellish army he had summoned, the longsword in his hand gleaming with a cold light.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pitch-black bone dragon behind him suddenly opened its massive maw, and a torrent of frosty breath burst forth from it.

The rock golem lowered its body again to protect Ye Xiao, but this time it could not withstand the powerful icy torrent. The azure frost swept over its body, turning it into an ice sculpture in an instant.

Demon knights riding skeletal horses, their eyes blazing with black fire, charged out in two columns, wielding long spears.

The iron cavalry trampled the ground, leaving behind patches of black flames, while abominations wielding chain scythes and winged freaks surged forth.

Assar's cloak fluttered in the wind stirred up by the rushing army, and he stood tall, exuding a commanding presence.

He didn't want to reveal his trump card so early, after all, he hadn't used it when attacking the camp.

But after several encounters with this human, he realized that if he didn't take it seriously, it might not be so easy to deal with this guy.

He might be able to wear that guy down with a blood pact, but this is his first battle in the real world.

His subordinates were watching, and the demons of the same rank and the higher-ups were probably also watching. Out of honor and dignity, he had to show the power to crush them, rather than kill them in a messy way.

Seeing the overwhelming pressure of the dark demon army, which swept in like a tsunami, the legs of several Aslan knights in the distance went weak.

This... is impossible to win...

Their despair had reached its peak; the terrifying power before them was simply beyond what humans could contend with.

However, when the demon knight's iron hooves crushed the ice sculpture formed by the giant stone man, there was no Ye Xiao inside, only a large stone ball with tiny holes on its surface emitting some unknown gas.

"What's this……"

Before Asar could react, the stone sphere exploded violently with a loud "boom".

This power was more ferocious than any spell he had ever seen before; the shockwave expanded outwards, raising clouds of smoke that shot straight into the sky.

The intense heat ignited a massive ball of fire, instantly obliterating the large horde of demons that had gathered together.

Assar shielded his forehead with one hand, staring at the howling wind and witnessing the terrifying explosion, his heart filled with shock.

Fortunately, he was only focused on posing and didn't rush forward. The Blood Pact can only quickly heal any injury, no matter how severe. But if he turns to dust in a second, even a demon god couldn't save him.

"Rumble"

The earth trembled violently. The demons, who had just been thrown overturned by the explosion, scrambled to their feet, staring in astonishment at a mound of earth rising from the ground in the middle of the battlefield.

"By the Demon God, what is that thing?!"

Asar turned his head and saw a giant rock golem, several times larger than the previous one, slowly rising from the ground.

Head, arms, waist... the rock golem's body rose segment by segment from the ground, like a giant supporting the sky.

This can no longer be called a rock golem; it's practically a miniature Titan.

The stone giant was almost as tall as the small hill next to it. On its broad shoulders, Ye Xiao, holding a staff in one hand, leaned against the night sky and looked down at Asar, revealing a smug smile.

Ye Xiao's magic level is that of a master, but just like his "grandmaster" swordsmanship, the massive infusion of universal points regardless of cost has made his attribute values ​​far exceed those of his peers.

Therefore, he certainly cannot use many spells that are more sophisticated than those of a grandmaster and require a higher level of understanding of magic, but with pure magical power, he can amplify the spells he knows.

For example, larger rock golems, larger fireballs, and more violent explosions.

Although it's simple and brutal, and the amount of magical power consumed will increase exponentially, he doesn't care, as long as it's effective.

If you really can't fight, use Greed Coins to burn Ella's little treasury to exchange for magic power; the main point is to waste it.

"Alright, alright, it would be no fun if dealing with you too easily!"

Assar gazed at the towering stone giant with a mixture of fear and delight, his eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

He felt his blood boiling. This was exactly what he wanted. This was the kind of powerful opponent he needed!

Even if he was shot and forced to flee in terror during a raid on a camp, he had no intention of using his trump cards, because such a battle was utterly meaningless.

Only an enemy like this, and only an enemy like this, is worthy of the glory of the Blood Prince's first battle!

"Ah... Lord Asar... the Demon-Sealing Stone is ready. Shall we activate the barrier?"

Just then, his ram-headed demon subordinates transmitted their voices through magic.

"Huh? Use my ass! Get out of here and stay put!"

Asar raised his sword, pointing it directly at Ye Xiao above the stone giant, shouting, "Open your eyes wide, my minions! From now on, let my heroic image be sung eternally!!!"

"You have so many lines, I guess I'll say one too."

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow, her eyes looking down at him with disdain.

"Asar, savor the glory of facing a high-ranking mage!!!"

As his loud declaration echoed across the battlefield like thunder, the stone giant opened his enormous hand and slammed it down from the sky, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on him.

Above the Black River, the Corpse Dragon soared into the air once more, but this time its once enormous body was only the size of the rock giant's arm.

The Taotie dragon's mouth suddenly opened, and its icy breath surged out once more. At the same time, its enormous hand struck its body.

"Ow—"

A sharp dragon roar pierced the sky, and a frost-covered stone arm slapped it into the ground.

The earth trembled violently, and Asar led the demon knights who had been resurrected from the Black River and countless dreadful demons in the air to charge at the giant. Blood magic was poured into the raised sword, forming a dazzling crimson that swept across the dark forest.

Fine patterns appeared on the stone giant's iron chest, and soon, rings of magic circles gathering flames opened above it.

The next moment, a series of earth-shattering explosions reverberated through the night sky, and countless explosive rock cones trailing flames rained down like dense rockets, bombarding the dark mass of charging demon cavalry below.

Unlike the subtle and unassuming sharpness of a high-ranking swordsman who can "pass through a sea of ​​soldiers without a single leaf touching him," a high-ranking mage's battles are characterized by their magnificent and spectacular nature.

Such a large-scale commotion naturally spread throughout the entire southeastern coast.

At Hanya Pass in the north, General Aslan stands atop the majestic city wall.

He peered through his monoculars at the distant explosions in the forest and the vaguely visible stone giant, his mind filled with confusion.

"Goddess above, whose general was that, and how did he manage to reach that place?"

Chapter 87 The Oriole in the Crow's Nest

As the first rays of dawn broke through the darkness, the long night was finally over.

As the aftershocks subsided, countless dark limbs lay buried in the earth amidst the collapsed jungle.

The enormous rock golem collapsed into pieces in the flames, and the demons that had been resurrected from the Black River scattered their corpses across the land.

Assar looked somewhat disheveled, hunched over, panting heavily, and his deep red armor was not as gleaming as before.

The human mage's power was indeed beyond his expectations; his magic was so depleted that it could no longer sustain the Black River and he could no longer revive the fallen knights.

On the other side, Ye Xiao, who was holding a cane and leaning on it, did not look well either. Although his face was still calm, his black priest's robe was tattered.

It is indeed quite difficult for a master-level spell to fight against a transcendent-level one. Although his magic power is outrageous, what makes a transcendent-level being transcendent is that they still have their unique abilities.

However, after that battle, Ye Xiao was surprised to find that his proficiency in several of his spells had actually advanced to the Grandmaster level.

Although he did this partly to improve his magic skills, the speed at which he advanced was somewhat unexpected.

But on second thought, releasing various master-level spells beyond their limits without regard to the cost of magic power consumption should naturally lead to a deeper understanding of them.

However, considering that it took him more than ten years to advance his swordsmanship to the first Grandmaster level in his previous life, while in this life his magic reached the Grandmaster level in just one year, almost catching up with his swordsmanship, Ye Xiao couldn't help but wonder if he might actually be more talented in magic than in swordsmanship.

To be honest, he still has no clue how to improve his swordsmanship.

But when it comes to how to further improve those magical skills, his mind is always full of inspiration.

I have a feeling that I really chose the wrong major in my previous life.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Asar assumed that the other party had finally reached his limit and grinned.

"Hehehe, what a wonderful battle, humans. I haven't felt this exhilarated in a long time."

He stood up, the sword in his hand cutting through the smoke, pointing at Ye Xiao once more, the crimson magic once again winding around his arm.

Seeing this, Ye Xiao also casually conjured flames at the tip of his staff.

Since he has already achieved his real goal and has had a great time training here, it wouldn't hurt to spend some time sending this guy on his final journey.

But at that moment, he suddenly realized that the magic flowing through his body had abruptly stopped, and the flame controlled at the tip of the staff had suddenly dissipated.

Huh? Why can't I suddenly control my magic?

Ye Xiaochu thought it was some kind of hidden trick by Asar, but she was surprised to find that the magic power attached to the sword blade had also strangely dissipated.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Asar himself was completely baffled. He even patted his arm as if he were fixing an old light bulb, but he still couldn't cast any more spells.

But he quickly seemed to realize something, his eyes widening in anger as he turned to look at his men hiding in the distance, "Damn it! Who told you to..."

"My dear little prince, what era is this? You're still playing one-on-one duels with people?"

A seductive laugh echoed from the battlefield. In the thin mist, a female demon with deep blue skin and a voluptuous figure chuckled and spread her bat-like wings as she descended from the sky.

"Damn it, Alabella, this has nothing to do with you!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Asar's anger flared immediately. "This is a duel of honor between this prince and this human, and you have no right to interfere!!!"

"Whether I can intervene or not is not up to you,"

Alabella smiled dismissively, her slender fingers pulling a square stone from her chest and displaying it to Assar.

"Demon-Sealing Stone...!? As expected, you despicable thing!!"

Asar roared and charged forward with his sword, but he was already running out of strength and could no longer use his magic. With a casual wave of Alabella's hand, the resulting gale sent him flying like a leaf.

Then she waved her hand again, and several chains of deep red magic power shot out, tightly binding Ye Xiao's body.

At the same time, Ye Xiao also recognized the unremarkable square stone in Alabella's hand.

The Demon-Sealing Stone, a specialty of Hell, naturally releases a force field that disrupts the flow of magic. Placing it on the outside creates a barrier that can hinder the operation of magic within the field.

If someone in the arena possesses an additional Demon-Sealing Stone, a similar effect to two negatives making a positive will occur, where the force fields cancel each other out, making them the only one in the arena who can use magic.

This thing tricked countless players in the previous life, but I never expected that the first time I saw it appear in this life, it would trick the demon Asar.

"That sounds nice, but I actually got this from your men."

Alabella toyed with the stone in her hand. "You keep talking about a glorious duel, but didn't you secretly prepare such a 'despicable' tactic?"

As she mocked him, she walked up to Ye Xiao, her sharp nails hooking Ye Xiao's chin, and a voice imbued with magic escaped from her lips.

"Hey, human, looking closely, you seem to have some good looks. Why don't you become my concubine? I guarantee you'll live a happier life than the emperor every day~"

"Damn it!!! Let him go!!! That man is my prey!!!"

Assal, who was lying on the ground, roared with a heart-wrenching sound.

Ye Xiao was speechless, and his lips twitched involuntarily. "Sorry, beautiful lady, I must refuse. I am already married."
