Chapter 1217 - Chapter 1217 Chapter 1219 Self-Destruction

Chapter 1217: Chapter 1219: Self-Destruction Chapter 1217: Chapter 1219: Self-Destruction The Abyssal Death Lord and the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast, both among the more powerful Overlord-class BOSSes, rarely clashed under normal circumstances. Even when they encountered each other, they would usually stay rational and take a step back from fight. However, now these two massive creatures were ferociously battling each other. The shockwaves from their combat even spread over ten meters away, causing some already damaged cages to simply crumble upon being touched by the residual force, leveling them to the ground.

The Death Lord had lost its ability to cast magic, while the most formidable blood magic of the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast was completely ineffective against the fully mechanized Death Lord. The two monstrous beasts, each over five meters in size, could only resort to the most primitive way of fighting. Although the commotion was intense, their actual attack power was not as great as imagined.

Situ Kaiss had an unsightly expression as she stood to the side, intently watching the Death Lord’s battle. She suddenly realized that pure mechanical creations were very limited in their combat methods and weren’t as powerful as she had anticipated.

“I must obtain the Soul Crystal to grant it a flesh and blood body and restore its ability to cast magic!” Situ Kaiss fixated on the purple crystal on the Dragon Lizard Beast’s forehead, thinking to herself.

Boom!

The Death Lord was once again hit by the Dragon Lizard Beast’s tail and sent flying. Then, the Dragon Lizard Beast suddenly opened its wide mouth, a scorching golden Dragon Breath beginning to form inside. Situ Kaiss’s face changed dramatically, and she hurried forward, ready to control the Death Lord to dodge.

However, the Death Lord, now controlled by mechanical intelligence, steadied its body in midair in a bizarre position, landing firmly on the ground, completely defying the movements of a normal creature. The golden Dragon Breath almost grazed the top of its head as it swept by.

Situ Kaiss breathed a sigh of relief. The Death Lord, now with proper authorization, had combat styles closer to those of a mechanical creation. Although its methods were simple, its reaction and adaptability had improved significantly.

In the darkness, Song Jian eyed Situ Kaiss closely, weighing whether to strike at the right moment. Situ Kaiss’s strength was that of an eighty-level Overlord-class BOSS. He believed that as long as he unleashed the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, he would definitely be able to kill her instantly!

But Situ Kaiss, who had now become an Abyss Priest, had very tricky offensive and defensive techniques. Song Jian feared that once she realized she was under attack, she might use a space-movement ability like Abyssal Displacement to escape. If he alarmed her prematurely and drew her attention, it would be much harder to find such a good opportunity again.

After watching for a long time, Situ Kaiss finally decided to join the fight. She had already figured out the Death Lord’s capabilities, and now she needed to resolve the battle quickly to obtain the Soul Crystal and allow the Death Lord to evolve to perfection.

With Situ Kaiss joining the fight, the scales of victory began to tip towards the Death Lord.

Soul intimidation, Abyssal absorption, Abyssal corruption…

A succession of abyssal magic spells was released from Situ Kaiss’s hands, dealing immense damage to the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast, which still had a flesh and blood body!

As its Vitality Points constantly dropped, the Dragon Lizard Beast became increasingly ferocious, completely abandoning defense, and desperately attacking the Death Lord. Within a radius of dozens of meters, the air was filled with the scent of scorching Dragon Breath, and even Song Jian couldn’t help but back up seven or eight meters.

The rhythm of the fight was completely controlled by the Death Lord and Situ Kaiss. As the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast faced desperation and realized it was facing death, its frenzied aura abruptly spread out like a tidal wave!

“Target has a 98% probability of using a self-destruct skill. It is recommended to retreat to a safe distance of thirty meters!”

A severe warning sound emanated from the body of the Death Lord, its entire mechanical frame flashing red. Situ Kaiss’s heart skipped a beat, and she hastily abandoned the spell she was casting midway, preparing to dodge backward.

Song Jian’s eyes lit up, now was the moment!

Countless Spirit Swords materialized out of thin air, streaking toward Situ Kaiss and the Death Lord like a meteor shower.

Situ Kaiss’s face changed dramatically, if she continued to retreat, she would crash right into the Spirit Swords, but if she didn’t move back, she would be caught in the blast radius of the Dragon Lizard Beast’s explosion…

Boom~

An earsplitting explosion shook the entire prison, dust falling from the ceiling as the area within dozens of meters was leveled. Even though Song Jian had dodged in advance, he was still hit by the shockwave of the explosion, the intense force pushing him back an additional five or six meters before he steadied himself.

Monsters howled in fear, fleeing in all directions. The scorching breath nearly swept across the entire reach of the violent energy, causing the temperature at the edge, where Song Jian was, to rise by dozens of degrees. At the center of the Dragon Lizard Beast’s explosion, a swath of crimson light flickered ceaselessly, and a giant crater formed at the blast center, spewing forth red-hot magma and forming something akin to a volcanic vent ready to erupt!

“Could it have blasted through to underground?” Song Jian wondered, his expression filled with shock.

The aftermath of the Dragon Lizard Beast’s explosion destroyed most of the Spirit Swords, preventing the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation from forming. However, some of the remaining Spirit Swords still struck the Death Lord and the dwarf priest Situ Kaiss.

The Death Lord, having taken the full force of the explosion, was severely damaged, half of its body already gone. The wound flickered with dark red light, molten metal dripping to the ground, its body prone on the ground, sporadically sparking and its limbs twitching unnaturally. Even though it hadn’t been completely destroyed, it had already lost its capacity for battle.

“Where did Situ Kaiss go?” Song Jian opened his Vertical eye, searching carefully. For some reason, he had completely lost track of Situ Kaiss’s presence, as if she had vanished into thin air.

“Could she have been completely obliterated by the blast?” Song Jian guessed. Situ Kaiss was significantly weaker than the Death Lord, and though she had been standing much further away, the terrifying power of the explosion was certainly not something a lord-tier boss like her could withstand.

Just then, Song Jian suddenly felt a burst of wind behind his head, and a piercing killing intent stabbed into the back of his brain like a needle. Startled, he had no time to react, but instinctively, his body executed the Sword Shadow Clone Skill!

Song Jian had already discovered that casting Sword Shadow Clone for a split second could disrupt mental targeting, rendering many targeting skills ineffective. However, this disruption was fleeting; after the Sword Shadow Clone appeared, it could be targeted once again.

But with two images of Song Jian appearing simultaneously, unless one had a probing skill, the likelihood of being mentally targeted again was only 50%. Thus, the Sword Shadow Clone Skill was unexpectedly effective in dealing with sudden attacks.
