Body Blaze!

Blood dripped down.

Soren's breathing was a little rapid. The continuous high-intensity bursts had taken a heavy toll on his body, especially the kind of combat with millisecond-level precision, which was a great test for him. However, his Constitution was now extraordinary, and in just a second or two, Soren had already readjusted his breathing. His Constitution not only affected the limits of his physical strength, but also determined his endurance in battle. His Transcendent Tier Constitution allowed Soren to recover to his peak physical condition with just a slight adjustment.

The skin and flesh smelled burnt.

Perhaps because he was charred, Soren didn't seem to be in much pain.

The Balor standing before him was in no better shape, bearing seven or eight wounds, especially the Rake on its back from two heavy blows by Soren. Unfortunately, the Balor's Constitution was too strong; its 31 Constitution meant that Soren's attack, which should have severed it at the waist, only managed to seriously injure its spine. The Balor's Hit Points was incredibly tenacious; the Hit Points of Greater Demon was generally above that of Legendary Warrior, and Soren had only barely managed to bring it to the brink of death.

Balor was also panting.

Even with its immense power, the rate at which it consumed and recovered its stamina widened significantly due to massive blood loss and Heavy Injury Condition.

The Demon's madness allowed it to remain highly effective even when severely wounded and on the verge of death.

So it raised its heavy Abyssal Vorpal Sword once more, and charged at Soren while brandishing its Flame Whip. The flames on Balor's body had dimmed considerably, leaving only some flickering sparks on the Flame Whip, revealing dark blue barbs. This was the reason Soren's left arm was so badly injured; the barbs had caught on the flesh of his arm, tearing off a chunk of flesh.

Soren's injuries were serious.

Although he was only hit by Balor once from beginning to end, that one hit dealt him nearly a hundred points of damage.

The flames on Balor's body were too intense.

Even with the protective power of Icetail, Soren still suffered slow, burning damage with each approach. This enemy was simply invincible to mortals, even more difficult to deal with than Dragon, for ordinary people would be incinerated simply by standing before it. Soren was already somewhat numb from the heat; Icetail prevented him from burning directly. The Legendary weapon's ability to extinguish Magic flames was constantly in effect, but the scorching heat seeped into his very bones, making Soren feel as if his chest was on fire, and his throat felt as if it were about to burst.

The silvery light remained dazzling.

The Balor's flames made it even colder, and now it felt like a block of ice in Soren's palm.

Shadow Jump has been used up.

Even if Soren fought at near-peak condition, a jump distance of 100 meters would still take a toll after just a few attempts.

Both sides seem to be running out of Heavy Crossbow.

So when faced with Balor's frenzied attacks, Soren had no choice but to Roll Dodge in a sorry state. The massive Abyssal Vorpal Sword struck the wall behind Soren, cleaving a two-meter-long gash. At the same time, due to Balor's immense power, a crack appeared directly in the wall.

"Die, you mortal!"

Balor was determined to corner Soren, whose enemy had never dared to take a single attack head-on. So, its current strategy was to completely abandon defense and force Soren to withstand its attacks in the most violent way possible.

Rumble!

Soren could only dodge again in a sorry state. Balor's power was too great, and he dared not take it head-on even Change Shape his Slayer Form.

Not to mention the opponent also has the added strength of a huge body.

The Abyssal Vorpal Sword struck the empty ground once more. The terrifying force caused spiderweb-like cracks to appear all around, and the walls rumbled loudly. The cracks extended all the way to the top of both people's heads.

Soren seemed to realize something in an instant!

So when Balor swung his Abyssal Vorpal Sword at him again, he sidestepped and returned to where he had been standing.

The sound of whistling wind arose.

The Flame Whip lashed out at Soren, followed immediately by Abyssal Vorpal Sword.

Rumble!

The wall shook again; the cracks were now very obvious.

At this moment, Soren was almost cornered by the enemy. A ferocious smile appeared on Balor's face, and he swung the Abyssal Vorpal Sword down with a fierce blow.

This damned mortal finally has no room to Dodge.

Clang!!!

A violent impact rang out, and as Balor swung his massive Abyssal Vorpal Sword at him again, he gritted his teeth and gripped the sword with both hands to block the attack.

Pfft.

A spurt of blood gushed out.

Soren was thrown backward as if he had been hit by a speeding car. The immense force sent him crashing into the wall with a thud, and he shuddered involuntarily.

Suppression by force.

The vast difference in size and Strength Value between the two sides allowed Balor to easily unleash overwhelming damage.

Click!

Soren crashed into the wall behind him.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the cracks on the wall instantly spread, and a dark shadow suddenly fell from above as the Balor lunged at them with a savage grin.

Rumble!

A sharp, cone-shaped stalactite struck the Balor's head, sending many pieces of rock crashing to the ground.

This level of damage could not possibly kill the powerful Balor.

However, after being hit on the head, Balor's attack instantly became riddled with holes. Its massive size became a hindrance, and most of the falling rocks hit its huge body.

"Die!"

At that very moment, Soren suddenly leaped out with a ferocious expression. His thin body easily cleared the falling boulder, and then, after getting close to Balor, he suddenly reached out and pressed his hand against it.

--"Vampiric Touch!"

A surge of Hit Points, brimming with scorching heat, flowed into his body, and Soren's injuries healed considerably.

A strange, fiery red flush rose on his pale face. Soren leaped forward, lightly tapping the Balor's back with his toes, and then swung his sword with both hands at the creature's head.

--"Sword Momentum: Decapitation!"

A flash of cold light appeared.

Immediately following, blood gushed out wildly. The massive body of the Balor froze in place, and the next moment it suddenly seemed to be burning, Balor raging flames erupting all over its body!

It looked like a giant Fireball!

--"Body Blaze!"

As one of the most challenging Greater Demon in the Abyss, the Balor's terror lies not only in its power, but more importantly in its innate ability, ' Body Blaze,' which automatically activates upon death. This ability causes the Balor to explode like Fireball, dealing hundreds of points of blast damage to any enemies in the vicinity.

Back then, countless people perished beneath the corpses of those who self-destructed after killing the enemy!

Rumble!

A violent explosion rang out, and terrifying flames surged forth. Soren, who had just swung his sword to sever the head of the Balor, was instantly engulfed by the horrific blast.
