Powerful Kitty

"Pusiluo, stop watching the show," Aliquin said in a detached voice.

"Meow~~" The little golden cat let out a soft cry, which seemed to contain a hint of joy.

Immediately after, under Natlan's cautious gaze, the little golden cat instantly entered its battle form.

"Natlan, my master wants you dead, sorry about that!" a cheerful voice rang out.

The little golden cat had vanished, but in its place stood a person!

"This is Aliquin's helper?" Natlan quickly sized up the guy. Pusiluo, now in human form, stood about three meters tall. He wore fire-red armor, his long crimson hair flowed freely, and with his sharp, defined features, he looked every bit the heroic, burly man!

The red-haired giant stared at Natlan and declared loudly, "Natlan, I will be your opponent from here on out!"

In terms of true strength, Pusiluo far surpassed the two experts present. Even if he usually displayed only one-tenth of his actual power, he was still far stronger than the average Six-Star Fiend.

After all, he was a Volcano Giant!

"Hmph! Then come on!" Natlan also sensed that Pusiluo's strength was formidable, but with Aliquin there to pin him down, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to, leaving him no choice but to fight.

"That red-haired giant, he was that little golden cat from before?" Milia, observing the scene, found it hard to believe. Who would ever associate a cute little cat with a giant?

Morti was also exceptionally shocked at this moment; such a cute little kitten could actually turn into such a sturdy giant, and his voice was so booming, too.

Only Luo Ya had anticipated this, continuing to watch with a calm expression.

"For my master's Fiend assessment mission, I'm afraid I have to ask you to die!" Pusiluo laughed heartily as an axe suddenly appeared in his hand, burning with flames. Pusiluo swung the axe violently, and a series of layered, "Booming~~~" explosions rang out in succession.

Wherever the axe passed, space trembled in layers, and the stable space of the Hell plane even showed signs of shattering!

"What!"

Natlan's expression changed instantly!

This kind of material attack was likely approaching the level of a Seven-Star Fiend!

Should he say it was typical of a monstrous Volcano Giant? This kind of terrifying power was simply unrivaled!

"Eight God Break!"

Holding nothing back, Natlan immediately unleashed his strongest move—

"Swoosh—"

Eight sharp, piercing blood-colored spears shot out almost simultaneously, streaking across the space of Hell like lightning, rushing toward the incoming giant axe like eight fleeting meteors.

"Bang!"

The eight blood-colored spears collided head-on with the axe blade, causing the axe to pause slightly and its power to be greatly diminished.

"Die!" Pusiluo merely flipped his hand, and a massive number of axe phantoms flew out, radiating toward Natlan like a shockwave.

"Whoosh!" After unleashing his strongest move, Natlan split into hundreds of dark phantoms, desperately trying to flee into the distance. Even after being clipped by two of the axe phantoms, Natlan continued to scramble away for his life.

The truth was, Pusiluo's attacks were just too terrifying!

If he took a few more hits like that, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out!

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

At the same moment, Aliquin immediately split into hundreds of clones again, precisely intercepting all of Natlan's phantoms and cutting off any possibility of his escape!

"Damn it!" This Aliquin might not be as strong as him, but his ability to create clones and shadows was no weaker than his own. With him interfering from the sidelines, Natlan had absolutely no chance of escaping the battlefield!

"Pusiluo, attack together!"

"Yes, my beloved master!" Hearing Aliquin's soul transmission, even though Pusiluo despised such shameless behavior in his heart, he dared not disobey Aliquin's orders in the slightest. After all, this guy was his master.

"Boom!", "Bang!"...

The underwater world suddenly seemed to experience a series of submarine earthquakes, and even experts on other battlefields could sense the violent energy fluctuations coming from this location.

One-on-one, Natlan felt he could escape whether he was facing Aliquin or Pusiluo.

After all, while the former's speed was not inferior to his, his frontal combat ability was not outstanding, and while the latter's attacks were terrifying, his speed could not keep up with him at all.

But the current situation was two-on-one; he was completely on the defensive, caught between two enemies, and as time passed, the situation became increasingly unfavorable for him!

"Pusiluo, now!"

As the saying goes, long-term defense inevitably leads to mistakes. Even though Natlan's combat awareness was not weak, and he had been trying his best to avoid a direct confrontation with Pusiluo by relying on his exquisite clone and shadow techniques, Aliquin was no pushover either.

Facing a two-on-one beatdown, Natlan's long defense finally faltered, and he revealed an opening—and once he revealed an opening, it was naturally the moment for Pusiluo to launch a lethal attack!

"As you command, my master!"

Pusiluo was very unhappy in his heart, but he could do nothing about his master, so all his resentment was naturally vented onto this guy named 'Natlan'.

"What a useless guy! A guy like you might as well just die!" Pusiluo's eyes were filled with gloomy murderous intent as he swung the axe in his hand violently, aiming directly for Natlan's head!

With the sheer force of Pusiluo's ferocious attack, what would happen if that axe actually connected?

At the critical moment, Natlan had no choice—

"You two forced my hand!" The axe, burning with golden flames, struck Natlan solidly, but it did not hit his head; instead, it destroyed a section of his body.

At some unknown moment, a terrifying phantom that seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth suddenly occupied a large portion of the underwater world!

This was a giant spider monster with two triangular eyes and eight slender legs. With a body hundreds of meters in size covered in blood-red fuzz, it looked incredibly Evil and terrifying!

"A dark-type divine beast, a Shadow Demon Spider?" Luo Ya had just seen an illustration of this type of divine beast in the Compendium of Divine Beasts he had purchased earlier inside Fiend Castle, so he was able to recognize it.

"If you want me dead, you'll have to have someone buried with me!" Natlan seemed very confident in the move he was about to unleash.

"Pusiluo, stop him quickly!" Aliquin's voice was urgent, even bordering on hysterical!

Clearly, he also knew about this trump card of Natlan's, but Natlan had to combine this move with his innate divine ability to unleash its true power.

"Die!" Pusiluo was filled with immense rage at this moment. Since he had such a powerful trump card, why hadn't he used it directly against Aliquin from the start? What a damn bastard!

Filled with his resentment, Pusiluo's lethal axe swung down fiercely.

"Rumble~~~" A continuous, layered series of explosions erupted from the axe blade, causing even the space itself to let out a painful groan!

Natlan, who had transformed into his true Shadow Demon Spider form, was roaring.

"You two!" He was furious, but Pusiluo's axe did not hesitate in the slightest.

"Ah!" The blood-red spider monster went completely berserk, risking his life to unleash his innate divine ability. One could see that within the compound eyes of the blood-red spider, a cold, chilling, and extremely Evil blood-red light was already condensing—

"Pfft!"

Pusiluo's axe fell without mercy. The massive flame battle-axe streaked across the sky and landed solidly on the head of the crimson spider. In an instant... all of the crimson spider monster's compound eyes were smashed, the entire area where its head had been was pulverized, and the final momentum of the axe continued, splitting the spider monster's entire body in two!

"I am not reconciled!!!"

Natlan's dying roar echoed continuously throughout the underwater region.

Neither of these two could have killed him alone, but with them working together, he truly had no way out. He didn't even have the chance to unleash his final trump card, dying in extreme frustration!

"Thud!"

The giant spider monster's corpse, split into two halves, crashed directly onto the underwater reef, and a thick, bloody stench filled the surrounding space.

Only then did Aliquin reveal a young, pale face from beneath his black robe. He glanced at the giant corpse on the ground and couldn't help but sneer, "I had already figured out your background; how could I possibly give you the chance to unleash that trump card?"

"You wanted to take me down with you? What an absolute idiot!"

"Master, are you alright, meow~" After the battle ended, Pusiluo returned to his harmless-looking golden kitten form.

It had to be said that this Aliquin was a truly shameless guy. Even though he had helped resolve so many battles, he, Lord Pusiluo, didn't even have a single Fiend Medal.

How hateful, that bastard!
