Devil Transformation

A Mechanical Swordsman arrived before the Wizard Tower, reached out, and pressed a small suction cup from its finger firmly onto the tower's surface. With agile, alternating hand movements, it began to climb the smooth wall of the Wizard Tower.

The two Steel Golems held back a significant number of Mechanical Swordsmen, yet a massive swarm of them climbed directly toward the upper levels of the tower from other directions.

The dense, swarming mass of Mechanical Swordsmen looked like ants crawling up the tower, a truly terrifying sight.

Inside the Wizard Tower, many Wizard Apprentices turned pale, flashes of fear crossing their eyes at the scene.

These Wizard Apprentices had ventured out for training and defeated many enemies before, but they had never witnessed a monster swarm as vast as these Mechanical Swordsmen. No matter how many they struck down with their spells, more would simply fill the gaps; the feeling of an endless, inexhaustible enemy was utterly despairing.

"Arcane Missile!"

"Acid Splash!"

"Dark Ray!"

"..."

On the second floor of the Wizard Tower, four Wizard Apprentices, unable to withstand the immense pressure, unleashed spells to bombard the Mechanical Swordsmen, knocking them down one by one.

Once those Mechanical Swordsmen fell to the ground, as long as their Core Chip remained intact, they would scramble back up and quickly climb toward the tower windows again.

Deprived of the Wizard Apprentices' support, the two Steel Golems were soon surrounded and frantically besieged by hundreds of Mechanical Swordsmen, who used suicide tactics to trade damage.

After holding out for only a dozen rounds, the two Steel Golems were dismantled by the hundreds of Mechanical Swordsmen and collapsed to the ground. However, before falling, they had destroyed over one hundred and fifty Mechanical Swordsmen.

As soon as the Steel Golems fell, the dense swarm of Mechanical Swordsmen surged toward the Wizard Tower. Some Mechanical Swordsmen retracted their Alloy Battle Blades, extended drills from their hands, and stabbed them fiercely into the tower gate, spinning wildly to bore holes. Others swung their Alloy Battle Blades, hacking at the gate and leaving shallow scars one after another.

Yang Feng watched the scene of the Mechanical Swordsmen besieging the Wizard Tower from afar, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

Boni, the official Level-1 Warlock, had not yet made a move, and it was unclear what he was planning. If he were to intervene, he might be able to destroy several hundred more Mechanical Swordsmen.

For Yang Feng, even if thousands of Mechanical Swordsmen were destroyed, it was no price to pay as long as he could achieve victory. Once sent back to the Arsenal for recycling, those Mechanical Swordsmen could be reborn. Only if the enemy were clever enough to carry away the wreckage of the Mechanical Swordsmen would they truly be killed.

"Fireball Spell!"

Suddenly, a bright light shone from the top of the Wizard Tower, and ten massive fireballs streaked in a line, hurtling directly toward Yang Feng.

The Mechanical Swordsmen beside Yang Feng leaped into the air, throwing themselves into the path of the fireballs.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of massive explosions rang out in succession, and one Mechanical Swordsman after another was blasted into fragments by the giant fireballs.

Yang Feng gave a cold laugh. "A decapitation strike? A good idea indeed! Unfortunately, killing me won't be that simple!"

"Is that so! Steel Lord Yang Ye, go to hell!"

From within the massive explosion, a cold, brutal voice rang out. A thick cloud of black mist surged forth, instantly shrouding Yang Feng and the eight hundred Mechanical Swordsmen surrounding him.

In an instant, an endless darkness swallowed Yang Feng, leaving him unable to see a thing.

Yang Feng said with great composure, "Activate Infrared Scanning System, Sonic Detection..."

"Die!!" Accompanied by a roar of fury, a claw tore directly through Yang Feng's chest.

Almost at the same time, Yang Feng activated the Infrared Scanning System and Sonic Detection System. Using the information gathered from these two systems and processed by his central brain, he reconstructed an image and 'saw' the figure of the person who had pierced his chest.

At this moment, Boni had transformed into a three-meter-tall black demon with black skin, a pair of demon horns, and a pair of demon wings on his back.

No. 3796 retrieved data and transmitted it to Yang Feng's mind: "Devil Transformation! A secret technique among Bloodline Warlocks! By transplanting the bloodline of a demon, the Warlock gains the powerful strength of a demon."

Demons were incredibly powerful monsters. Even the lowest-level demons possessed combat strength comparable to a Level-1 Warlock. Not only were their bodies formidable, but they also possessed powerful innate spellcasting abilities. Some Warlocks favored transplanting demon bloodlines, as it allowed them to become powerful rapidly and made their path of cultivation much smoother.

Bloodline Warlocks were a type of Warlock who transplanted various bloodlines into the human body to obtain the powers of those formidable monsters. Once a Bloodline Warlock successfully transplanted a powerful bloodline, they would possess a potent ability. They were the easiest among all Warlock types to acquire great power. The only drawback was that if the host body was incompatible with the transplanted bloodline, there were various dangers, such as exploding to death or going insane.

Boni was already at the peak of a Level-1 Warlock; after his Devil Transformation, his combat power was comparable to the weakest of Level-2 Warlocks, which was how he managed to succeed in one strike and pierce Yang Feng's heart.

"You, you have no heart! No, wait, are you a puppet? No!! What is going on? What exactly are you?" After Boni's claw pierced Yang Feng's heart, the savage grin on his face vanished, replaced by shock. He pulled hard, ripping a Liquid Metal Heart from Yang Feng's chest.

The Liquid Metal Heart flowed out of Boni's hand and flew back into Yang Feng's body.

"The master of the Black Hut is indeed powerful! Let me give you a gift!"

Yang Feng smiled slightly at Boni, and his body instantly detonated in a massive explosion.

"Distortion Field!" Boni's expression changed drastically as he cast this Level-1 defensive spell.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The eight hundred Mechanical Swordsmen surrounding Yang Feng also initiated self-destruction at the same time, the terrifying explosion instantly swallowing Boni and everything in the vicinity.

The earth shook, and the violent shockwave spread in all directions, kicking up clouds of terrifying dust.

Before the dust from the explosion had fully settled, two hundred Mechanical Swordsmen darted out from the side and charged into the smoke.

Not long after, the two hundred Mechanical Swordsmen emerged from the explosion, dragging the battered and broken body of Boni with them.
