Fresh Ways to Break Up a Fight

Abyss Will!

See here.

Roger frowned slightly.

He had thought that Little Yura was at most a powerful Greater Demon.

I never imagined that the other party had such deep-seated power!

"No wonder he was able to forcefully break through the Plane Wall and lead people to invade the Prime Material Plane!"

Roger silently raised Little Yura's threat level in his mind.

In theory.

The will and authority of these planes—the Abyss, Purgatory, Celestial Realm, and Material Realm— are equally matched.

If Little Yura can really get help from the Abyss Will.

Just like the 'chosen ones' in the Prime Material Plane.

That's equivalent to the boost from Roger's "Heaven and Earth Assistance" perk!

And it works anytime, anywhere.

In short, it's extremely terrifying.

but.

Even when facing the most terrifying enemy.

Roger will not back down easily.

At present.

He gave Brandon a wink.

This was a signal for the guy to go and help the Red Valley Descendants fight.

He, on the other hand, focused all his attention on the Greater Demon in the suit!

A few seconds later.

Roger then sensed the vessel of the Abyss Will that Little Yura had mobilized!

It was none other than his own beating heart within his chest! "Truly a 'Chosen One' from the Abyss!"

Roger's heart sank.

His conjecture was confirmed.

Little Yura's heart has clearly been upgraded and modified by the Plane Will.

Although it does not represent the highest authority in the abyss.

However, it can also exert pressure on the Plane Will.

This kind of enemy is very difficult to kill.

unless...

You will kill the abyss along with it!

"There is no such thing as a perfect enemy."

"This demon is not immortal yet; it must still have weaknesses!"

Above the riverbank.

Roger quietly disappeared.

He threw the Extermination Order at Little Yura in order to put pressure on him.

And himself.

It is to move between matter and shadow.

Find the flaw.

Find the right time to act!

This time he has to be extremely careful.

Facing an enemy of Little Yura's caliber.

Any ill-planned move could trigger a series of negative consequences! Roger hadn't felt this kind of offensive pressure in a long time.

He was not discouraged or intimidated by this.

on the contrary.

He became even more excited—

"A demon that is immortal, protected by the Abyss Will..."

"Hehe!"

"Let me see just how many specialties you have to draw!"

Whoosh! A flash of cold light appeared in the darkness.

The low, muffled sound was fleeting.

Little Yura gave a dismissive sneer.

Roger's hidden Gui Water Yin Lightning evaporated silently.

After the probing attack.

Roger launched several more sneak attacks at different locations.

But Little Yura's response was effortless.

He didn't rush to make a move.

He simply stood still, calmly dealing with Roger's attacks.

Occasionally.

He would reprimand the demon soldiers for their negligence during the battle.

But more often than not.

He remained focused on Roger, the assassin lurking in the shadows.

This shows that Roger's tactics were effective.

Little Yura seemed to be downplaying it.

But in reality, he felt immense pressure! Under Roger's threat.

He dared not directly participate in the war.

This created a relatively level playing field for the war between the dwarves and the demons.

It is relatively fair because of this.

It's because Brandon is on the dwarves' side!...

"Repent!"

"Demons covered in stinking pus!"

Deep within the front lines where the first clashes occurred.

Brandon brandished his greatsword with great arrogance.

But then I saw him exert force with both hands.

He ruthlessly cut down a demon sergeant.

The surrounding demons also wanted to attack this brute warrior.

But the next second.

Brandon wielded his greatsword and swung it in a beautiful arc! Whoosh! The milky-white sword light cascaded down like moonlight.

He hacked those demons away! Seeing this...

The dwarves' morale soared.

Brandon himself was also very pleased with himself.

Only Roger, lurking in the shadows, frowned once again.

Because he noticed.

Those demons that Brandon chopped away didn't die! In fact...

They weren't even seriously injured.

It only scratched the surface of the skin and the superficial muscle.

And the Abyss Template has an extremely strong self-healing ability.

Without decapitating or shattering the heart, you can't eliminate a single unit's combat power! "This battle is a tiny bit more troublesome than I expected..."

Roger silently worried for Brandon.

The next second.

A look of determination flashed in his eyes.

It seems...

We still need to find a breakthrough on our own! Swoosh! A black shadow flashed by.

Immediately afterwards.

The dark figure split into three.

It appeared behind Little Yura!

The three dark figures each held an incomparably sharp Crimson Red Moon.

He swung the sword down hard on Little Yura's head! The air suddenly froze.

A smile appeared on Little Yura's face.

In the blink of an eye.

His suit was ripping apart piece by piece.

The already exaggerated muscles swelled up to three times their original size due to increased blood flow! And right on top of that thick muscle skin...

It quickly grew a layer of solid scales that looked like Black Water!

Bang! Bang! Bang! The Red Moon Slashes Down.

In the end, it could only slide down the scales!

A faint flame flickered.

That moment.

Little Yura and Roger exchanged a glance.

Both sides knew this.

The real contest between the two.

It's finally started!

20 minutes.

140 rounds.

34 offensive or defensive methods.

Eight changes in battle pace.

Three probing attacks turned into a strong offensive.

Two counterattacks.

One clash of strength.

The final result was—

Little Yura and Roger were unharmed!

This result was quite surprising to both of them.

Especially Roger.

Although he had a high psychological estimate of Little Yura's strength.

But when the fight actually started, the suit-wearing devil's combat skills still shocked him.

Little Yura's melee combat skills...

Too strong! Roger's deceptive and ever-changing offensive tactics are as simple as a piece of paper in front of Little Yura.

Even Little Yura's brute force and her innate fighting instincts couldn't suppress Roger.

This resulted in the two sides seemingly engaging in a lively back-and-forth battle.

Then I stepped back and took a look.

Neither of them were on their guard!

This is somewhat awkward.

Especially compared to the horrific battlefield below the riverbank.

The fight between two head coaches was practically a staged commercial match...

Even more coincidentally...

At roughly the same moment, they realized that they couldn't kill anyone if they continued like this.

So they all stopped and retreated.

Amid the standoff.

The atmosphere grew even more silent.

However, take advantage of this opportunity.

Roger finally managed to catch a glimpse of the battle below—

But the result was just as he had feared.

The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce.

The riverbank was littered with corpses.

But most of those corpses belonged to Red Valley Dwarves! The demons barely died at all!

These terrifying Abyss Creature are the undisputed kings of the melee.

They possess Unceasingly Flourishing physical strength and unparalleled vitality.

Without the intervention of Extraordinary Strength.

The dwarves had no way of harming the demons!

However, the alchemical tools that the Red Valley Descendants currently possess are not particularly powerful.

The result was naturally a series of defeats.

If it weren't for Brandon, that tough guy, there would be no way we could have gotten him here.

Right now, Roger and Little Yura are fighting one-on-one.

The Red Valley Descendants should be wiped out three times over! However...

Roger also learned another piece of information from the dwarves' voices—

That is based on the memories they have passed down.

The demons that attacked Red Valley back then weren't nearly as strong.

The group of demons before them appeared to be the elite of the Blue Blood Legion.

Each one has undergone some kind of special evolution.

Their individual soldier skills are ridiculously high.

No wonder they were able to withstand the dimensional pressure and force their way in!...

The demons' power was indeed surprising.

Brandon's incredible prowess surprised Roger.

For this guy.

Roger knew Roger quite well.

During the Raging Sea Blood Vortex, he was merely a superhuman warrior.

Even with the added benefit of the Quinan aura.

He has excellent physical fitness.

But in the end, he's just a jerk.

We met several times after that.

His combat effectiveness has not improved significantly.

Roger once thought that this guy's potential had reached its limit.

But this time is different.

This encounter.

This guy actually unleashed combat power at Ascension-grade! And it was precisely because of this power.

Only when our side can we barely maintain control over the demon army.

However, it seems that Brandon is not yet able to fully control this power.

He played very, very clumsily.

They can only rely on sheer strength to fight against the demons who outnumber them.

But these demons are also rare demons who know how to use their brains.

They discovered Brandon's strengths and weaknesses.

They've actually stopped confronting him directly.

Roger observed—

A total of four demon squads took turns fighting Brandon.

Their goal wasn't to take down this strong man.

Instead, it constantly depletes his momentum and physical strength!

As long as Brandon cannot find a breakthrough on the front lines.

The demons' victory is almost a foregone conclusion!

So don't be fooled by the exciting fighting below.

Brandon's slogans grew louder and louder.

If things continue at the current pace...

The dwarves are doomed to defeat!

"This tactic is something these demon soldiers couldn't possibly have come up with..."

Roger stared at Little Yura.

The latter's lips moved slightly.

She seemed to have noticed Roger's gaze.

Little Yura grinned at Roger: "Your body is amazing!"

"I get really excited when I fight you hand-to-hand! You're not human!"

"Join us?! I think you have demonic blood. If you join us, I swear I'll take you to be baptized and elevated in the abyss..."

"By then, your body will be even better!"

Roger completely ignored Little Yura's words.

He calmly probed, "While fighting me, you still have the energy to give orders..."

"That's really amazing."

Little Yura laughed exaggeratedly:

"You call that a battle?"

"No, no, no, although you're quite good, that kind of intense fist and foot exchange just now doesn't even deserve to be called a fight..."

"I prefer to call it a ' Warm-up Phase ' before eating."

Roger remained silent.

Little Yura is indeed very strong.

But most importantly...

He's perfect for fighting here! Demons are beings that have all Extraordinary Strength fused into physical strength.

A near-immortal demon must possess a near-immortal or even stronger physical body.

This is perfectly exemplified in Little Yura.

Roger, however, was different.

The seal on his Extraordinary Strength still had an effect on him.

Many of his techniques require 'qi' to be released.

If we really have to fight it out.

Roger was confident he wouldn't suffer too much loss.

But there's definitely nothing they can do about Little Yura.

But the situation is less certain for the dwarves below!

Despite being led by Brandon.

The dwarves were still very powerful.

But Roger didn't want them to die in vain.

so.

He had to end his one-on-one match with Little Yura prematurely! This thought struck him.

Roger's gaze gradually sharpened.

Little Yura was extremely perceptive.

He squinted and stared intently at Roger:

"You want to break this deadlock?"

"No..."

"You're delusional."

Roger suddenly laughed:

"Is what resides in your heart the Abyss Will, known for its volatile nature?"

Little Yura's expression turned cold.

There was no reply.

Seeing this scene.

Roger laughed even harder.

The next second.

His figure suddenly vanished from the spot!

"No!"

Little Yura suddenly let out an extremely angry roar:

"You're courting death..."

Before he could finish speaking...

A violent explosion came from the Abyss Rift behind the demons!

The explosion was so violent.

Even on the battlefield.

Even the demons couldn't help but turn around to look! But what they saw terrified them.

Because they saw a dark figure rapidly throwing 'explosive charges' into the Abyss Rift! Each explosive charge falling...

It's an explosion equivalent to the effect of 11th Ring Spell!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Six consecutive drops.

After Roger had thrown away all the "Hurricanes" he had stockpiled.

That sluggish, Abyss Rift.

Finally, an involuntary tremor began!...

"Ah!"

Beside the crack.

Little Yura suddenly clutched her heart in pain.

The next second.

His eyes turned a bloodshot, overflowing crimson! But then...

He squeezed his chest very hard.

Another powerful force rose up.

Under the influence of this force.

Little Yura's left eye has miraculously regained its clarity!...

"Log: You attacked the Abyss Rift with 'Hurricane,' incurring the hatred of the Abyss Will..."

"Warning: You have been classified as a Level One enemy by the Abyss Will! You have provoked the Abyss's emotions, and it is now extremely angry!"

"Ascension Perception: You realize that Little Yura is forcibly appeasing the Abyss Will with another force..."

"It can even soothe the Abyss Will!"

"That's pretty impressive!"

Roger expressed his heartfelt sentiments.

But he showed no sign of panic at the failure of his plan.

Instead, he revealed a gloating smile, "It's just a pity."

"You're unlucky; you happened to run into a time when everyone was in a bad mood..."

As they were talking.

An ancient and weathered aura suddenly spread from beneath the vast earth.

That moment.

It was as if a pair of wise eyes were gazing upon this place.

Immediately afterwards.

Another pair of sharp eyes turned towards us!

10 seconds later.

On the data panel.

"Warning: The Abyss Will's rebellion has ignited the wrath of the Ancient Desolate Will! The two sides have begun to clash..."

"The Black Crystal Will joins the battle!"

"The Torrent Will has drawn attention..."

"The Totem Will has begun spectating..."

"Warning: You have instigated an escalation of the four-way conflict!"

"Campaign Mode: This war has been upgraded once again, with the addition of the 'Abyss Faction'!..."

You can now gain additional rewards by killing demons of the Abyss faction!

"Peacemaker: As a qualified peacemaker, you ignited a new conflict, halting the original four-way battle and, in a sense, achieving the goal of mediating!..."

You have faithfully fulfilled your duty as a mediator!

Your Honor Points +200,000

"Ascension Perception: You have sensed that the Abyss Will is under fierce attack from the wills of the four factions, and Little Yura is temporarily imprisoned as a result..."

It really worked!

See here.

Roger's smile widened.

You like playing mind games, huh? Those Mystra have never been afraid of anyone! Meanwhile, on the other side...

Little Yura let out a piercing wail. "No..."

"What are you doing?"

An expression of disbelief crossed his face.

"You're actually trying to start a war?"

"No!"

Roger denied it, saying, "I'm ending the war—in a rather modern way of mediating..."

As they were talking.

He left Little Yura, who was in terrible condition, behind.

It plunged down onto the riverbank in one fell swoop.

He was incredibly fast.

The demons had no time to react.

At that time.

The Red Moon shone like lightning.

A cold light descended.

Two streaks fell with a whoosh.

The two demons, of different sizes, both lost their heads!

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have killed a Greater Demon."

"Your Justice Authority Rank Fragment +1"

"You have killed a Split Demon."

"Your Maiden Authority Rank Fragment +1"

"Huh?"

Roger was slightly taken aback.

Even if we consider the Justice Authority Rank, that's another story.

The girl...

What the hell is this?
