Strength Extreme Breakthrough? No! I Want Strength and Agility to Break Through Together!

Veteran Players who had hunted Behemoth or Steel Dragon had surely experienced it before: when a careless misstep got them slammed into a corner by the Maelstrom, it was basically the same as being physically sealed.

In that state, Players could only endlessly cycle through falling down, getting up, staggering, and falling again. They could not perform any extra actions at all. Only when the Maelstrom dispersed on its own, or when the monster sent them back on the cart, could that endless cycle stop.

The Frenzied Golden Lion had clearly experienced a death reserved for Players... and an even more miserable one at that.

Like a pinball trapped in the corner of a pinball machine, its entire body was caught between four explosive vortices, endlessly blasted into the air until it died. This was truly the kind of death that deserved a place in the Golden Lion's book of grudges.

Of course, this move was also the result of multiple coincidences stacking together. It was not particularly hard to break out of it—whether by taking to the air or burrowing underground. Alternatively, if its Strength Attribute was higher than Cheng Tian's Spirit Attribute, it could also try to force its way through.

Unfortunately, with multiple factors stacked together—self-inflicted grievous wounds, Heal Block, grudge-based skill sealing, and more—the Golden Lion's death carried a faint sense of unfinished resentment.

But that was fine. Cheng Tian could let it rest in peace.

The Holy Demon Arm lit up at the same time, and the Golden Lion that had died with its eyes open began the sacrifice process.
