By first reducing one's health by 50%, and then stacking all one's Aoneng together, the damage bonuses provided by feats, mutations, and Overlord Form become extremely significant.

He has the output bonuses of [Desperate Counterattack], [Villainous Outlaw], and [Advanced Veteran Combat-Type NPC]. If he can also get a critical hit, the damage will even exceed the limit by 100%.

Once fully formed, the [Mutant], after activating Overlord Form, possesses the most impressive burst damage on paper among all classes in the early game. Combined with the Aoneng of [Natural Ignition], it has two extremely powerful effects: First, if the target is a living being, it inflicts the ' Burning State ', dealing spell damage equal to 7% of the target's current maximum health per second, and applying a corresponding slowing effect based on the target's [Willpower] attribute.

Although the Grand Duke, as a Shaman, should have a much stronger Willpower than he imagined, the percentage-based spell damage is still quite terrifying.

Secondly, if the target is given a state of incineration, it will cause True Damage to the undead and Carbon-Based Life.

Interestingly, the [Mysterious] type of [Shaman] is considered 'Undead' when in their shamanic form.

With his abundant health and Aoneng, Bio-Kongou is unlikely to encounter this problem, but Archduke Gamos is different. If he makes even one mistake, he will be killed by Li Aoz in one blow.

The sheer amount of damage he could inflict gave Li Aoz this confidence.

Compared to the Bio-Kongou, the Grand Duke is indeed terrifying enough and more mature, but he is different from the Bio-Kongou. His physical body is very weak, and his brain has been in a state of oxygen deprivation for a long time, so his reaction speed is very slow.

In this state, Li Aoz was very confident that he could kill him in one move.

The real problem is... he can't hit the other person.

Li Aoz threw out a series of fireballs, but they were all blocked by the evil spirit. He didn't even have time to click his tongue in frustration, and instead swiftly spun dozens of sharp angles in the lower atmosphere to change direction.

Even though he could freely rotate and tumble in the air, with his extremely high acceleration, he only needed to adjust the direction of gravity to be in free fall. However, due to air resistance, he could only increase his speed to less than seven times Mach.

Aoneng is a mysterious supernatural force. Since primitive times, people have known that rain falls from high altitudes, but it wasn't until thousands of years later that someone was able to explain why raindrops falling from high altitudes don't kill people.

Understanding and unlocking the potential of Aoneng is essentially the same as explaining why raindrops don't kill people. When you truly understand the principles of your Aoneng and can explain them clearly, you will be able to dominate the entire Real World.

His sharp blade sliced through the sky, leaving flames trailing behind as he moved freely through the sea of swarming demons, like a shooting star, twisting and turning, tearing through the long night, constantly seeking opportunities under the blizzard-strewn and sandstorm-filled sky of Malefic Calamity.

To improve his mobility and damage output, Li Aoz lowered his health to below half, sometimes deliberately taking hits to prevent his health from rising, in order to ensure that the effect of [Desperate Counterattack] would continue to take effect.

Li Aoz's premature closure of the protective shield caused the Grand Air Force to be affected by the Malefic Calamity, preventing them from taking off and reducing his flight pressure considerably. However, the relentless sea of evil spirits pursuing him was extremely annoying, and he had no way to eliminate these evil spirits that had accumulated for nearly three hundred years in a short time.

Three hundred years is a long time. Even in a small country like Grand, the average number of deaths per year is at least tens of thousands. Even after deducting the costs of feeding evil spirits and consuming one's own spiritual energy, hundreds of thousands would still be left over after three hundred years.

Li Aoz turned his head and unleashed a fiery slash, clearing a path. He immediately plunged into one of the paths, tearing off a tentacle with his left hand. The tentacle was instantly stretched taut by gravity, transforming into a spear, which he hurled towards the Grand Duke!

——————Zheng!

The flame-encased spear arrived like a meteor, striking the Grand Duke's body in an instant. Its tentacles were burned to ashes, while the flames instantly dispersed the evil spirits that had struck the area.

However, the purpose of this attack was not simply to inflict burns. The "Sever Life" effect, which prevents life regeneration, was immediately applied to the Grand Duke. The latter was slightly displeased and summoned more evil spirits, which pounced directly on the mortals on the ground.

"Retreat! Run!"

Sisron and his men were providing artillery support when they saw that the enemy was coming towards them. They didn't dare to stay still. There were so many spirit beings that they couldn't deal with them without a superhuman. They could only run away as quickly as possible. Firearms couldn't hit the spirits at all. Only a fool would stand there and wait to die.

Alexia, on the ground, seized the opportunity. The moment the Grand Duke's left heel left the ground, she rushed forward like a heavy truck, plunging headlong into the horde of wandering demons. As she wielded her scythe to harvest the demons, she fixed her gaze on the giant ahead and whispered, "Inspect!"

The law of words took effect immediately. Archduke Gamos tilted slightly, and in Alexia's eyes, his mind and intentions were as wide open as a gate.

Step out with your left foot towards the two o'clock position, rotate your right arm three times, and strike the woman on the ground.

Alexia on the ground immediately turned around and accelerated her run. The Duke's foot landed instantly, bringing with it a burst of lightning. A surging wave of air swept across the land. Alexia took advantage of the wind and rose up, stepping on the Duke's outstretched arm. She accelerated her run, and her leg armor thrust downwards with sharp blades. As soon as the demons and monsters around saw her, they immediately melted away and retreated with screams.

'Blow away the flames, and attack the woman with your left hand.'

Gamos's eyes darted around, noticing Alexia climbing up his arm, leaving wounds with every step, frantically climbing against gravity. While swatting away the flames ignited on his chest by Li Aoz, he immediately raised his left hand and slammed it down at Alexia.

Bang! Alexia was prepared. She spread her arms and leaped forward, her toes landing on Gamos's outstretched hand. Using the momentum, she jumped again, her arm armor transforming into a hammer, slamming down towards the Grand Duke's face! A bolt of lightning struck Alexia from the sky, instantly sending a powerful electric current coursing through her body. Alexia froze, her heart stopped, and the simultaneous translation device hanging in her ear short-circuited and exploded, rupturing her eardrum and causing profuse bleeding. The electric current stimulated her muscles, causing her body to tense up immediately, and her skin was rapidly burned. At this point, she could no longer maintain her balance and immediately plummeted towards the ground.

Crackling—Boom boom boom boom—

Thunder rumbled, and along with it, the results from the "Prosecutor's Office" arrived belatedly:

'Summon lightning.'

Lightning in nature can generate hundreds of millions of volts, with an instantaneous current of at least 20,000 amperes, and sometimes even up to 300,000 amperes. This is deadly to mortals, and even superhumans have a very high probability of being killed instantly.

Alexia plummeted from the sky, and the Grand Duke reached out to grab her. In that fleeting moment of space, her teeth chattered, and she managed to squeeze out a word as thin as a mosquito's buzz:

"...public prosecution."

The next moment, golden light instantly illuminated the sky.
