"I must end this quickly; I cannot let him leverage his soul-based advantage."

Realizing this, Roland knew he could no longer hold back, or he might truly capsize in the gutter.

Simon was not surprised to see that Roland was only minimally affected, his speed reduced by a mere half.

Judging by Roland's earlier strikes, Simon had already guessed that his opponent's strength likely reached the threshold of a Seven-Star Fiend.

Now, it was simply confirmed.

Seeing the aggressive onslaught, Simon did not act arrogant; his thrice-improved Ice Mist Battle Armor and Wall of Illusion snapped into place instantly.

He then gripped the Wind-Annihilation Divine Sword as 365 Divine Power Azure Dragons surged forth, the single-target binding technique Ice-Wind Prison striking the charging Roland.

"Damn it, another binding technique."

"I hate moves like this!"

Roland, shackled by yet another layer of restraint, cursed loudly.

But he stopped cursing immediately.

He discovered with horror that while the subsequent binding technique had a much smaller range, its effect on him was amplified exponentially.

It became so severe that even swinging the battle blade in his hand became an arduous struggle.

"Crap, this is bad!"

Roland was alarmed. Although he was practically frozen in place, the divine power and profound mysteries within his body could still function normally.

He hurriedly unleashed the material defense technique he had painstakingly studied for tens of thousands of years, and instantly, earthy-yellow divine power followed the fluctuations of a special profound mystery to form a suit of divine power armor over his body.

At this moment, the material attack technique Simon had developed, Ice-Wind Slash, also struck Roland.

But to Simon's astonishment, his pride-and-joy Ice-Wind Slash failed to even break through the opponent's defense!

Chapter 64: Execution!

Simon was now certain that the bandit leader before him had fused at least four profound mysteries: Earth Element, Earth Walk Technique, Power, and Power of Life from the earth laws.

His defensive technique, in particular, possessed a quality of endless, continuous vitality.

The Ice-Wind Slash, the strongest material attack Simon could unleash after fusing water and wind elements, struck the divine power armor only to be restored in an instant, leaving not a trace of damage.

Simon found himself in a dilemma.

Although Roland was practically bound in place and unable to move, and the blade light from his weapon could not hit Simon, Simon was temporarily unable to do anything to him either.

The battle had reached a stalemate.

But then, Simon remembered he still had soul attacks he hadn't used.

In previous battles, he had easily dispatched opponents relying solely on speed and Ice-Wind Prison.

Simon rarely used soul attacks, but now he could test them on the bandit leader, Roland.

With that thought, Simon instantly unleashed his soul attack technique—Phantom Spear!

This soul attack perfectly fused the two profound mysteries of Round Softness and Mist Illusion, and even incorporated the Stripping Property.

Trapped, Roland saw Simon finally unleash a soul attack against him.

Helpless, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and resist.

He had hoped that Simon was not skilled in soul attacks, as the Law of Wind was indeed lackluster in that regard.

But clearly, as a Soul Mutator, how could Simon not know soul attacks?

Moreover, the power of Simon's soul attack exceeded his expectations.

The hazy, illusory spear shadows surged toward Roland, blotting out the sky.

Roland could only exert the Pulse of the Earth profound mystery to its limit, forming a soul defense to meet the thousands of spear shadows.

Simon's soul attack was actually a bit of a half-measure; although it fused Round Softness and Mist Illusion, the Round Softness profound mystery performed far better in defense than in offense.

Simon had used it only because he had no other choice.

Sure enough, Roland successfully blocked the first wave of spear shadows.

Simon was not discouraged and continued to frantically unleash Phantom Spear at Roland.

Roland, having successfully blocked them, was secretly rejoicing, but then he noticed something wrong.

Although these spear shadows could not break through his soul defense initially, as the attacks continued, they were actually weakening his soul defense bit by bit!

Realizing this, Roland's heart sank to the bottom of a well.

He could only grit his teeth in silence and continue to circulate the Pulse of the Earth profound mystery for defense.

It wasn't that Roland didn't want to use other techniques to defend; it was that he hadn't fused Pulse of the Earth with Power of Life—there wasn't even any synergy between them!

This left his soul defense extremely weak.

This was also the reason why, despite his strength reaching the threshold of a Seven-Star Fiend, he had yet to leave the bandit group to venture out on his own.

He had originally intended to fuse the Pulse of the Earth with the Power of Life to slightly compensate for his weak soul defense before leaving the bandit group to truly carve out a reputation for himself.

But it seemed fate was always toying with him; just as he had fused four profound mysteries of the earth element and was brimming with ambition, he ran headlong into Simon, who countered him perfectly!

Seeing that the Phantom Spear was taking effect, Simon was overjoyed.

He exerted all his strength to bind Roland while simultaneously increasing the frequency of his attacks.

At this moment, Simon had his wind element divine clone join the assault as well.

Because he was a soul mutant, Simon's wind element divine clone could also unleash the Phantom Spear!

In an instant, the number of hazy spear shadows attacking Roland doubled.

Ten seconds later, Roland's soul defense was finally weakened to its limit.

As the first spear shadow successfully breached Roland's Soul Ocean, thousands more followed in its wake.

Under Simon's violent soul attacks, Roland's Soul Ocean was quickly submerged by the countless spear shadows.

In just a moment, Roland's soul could no longer hold on and was annihilated beneath Simon's myriad spear shadows.

With this, the outcome was decided!

Simon had won this battle with great difficulty.

He had successfully slain a powerhouse at the level of a Seven-Star Fiend!

When the bandits in the rear saw their invincible leader first being bound, then beaten passively, and finally losing all signs of life after resisting for only ten seconds, they couldn't believe it at first.

But when Simon charged over and killed all their other Highgod leaders in a few swift strikes, they finally realized what had happened and began to flee while shrieking in terror.

If even their great leader, who was comparable to a Seven-Star Fiend, had been slain, what could they possibly use to resist? Running for their lives was the only sensible option.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

If they didn't run now, when would they?

After killing all the Highgod bandits, Simon did not continue to pursue the Midgods.

To him, slaughtering these Midgod bandits was no longer of any use, and doing so would be beneath the dignity of a powerhouse...

However, the other Fiends in the merchant caravan would not let them off so easily.

Seeing the bandits fleeing in disarray, they chased after them one by one.

Simon simply watched the chaotic battle quietly.

Because Simon was holding the line for the Fiends, the bandits dared not resist with their full strength and only focused on fleeing for their lives.

A long while later, all the bandits who could escape had fled, and those who couldn't were all dead.

Napote and his squad once again displayed great prowess, working together to kill a full hundred Midgod bandits.

Once the chaotic battle ended and they had finished collecting the spoils, the group finally realized what had just happened.

Did Simon just kill a Seven-Star Fiend?

A Seven-Star Fiend capable of tearing through several meters of space in Hell with a casual strike?

Good heavens, that was a Seven-Star Fiend!

Now you're telling me a Midgod actually slaughtered a Seven-Star Fiend?

Everyone felt that the world must have gone mad.

They could barely accept Simon killing a Six-Star Fiend earlier, but this scene had completely shattered their perception of reality.

Although Fanny could see that Roland's strength was at the very bottom tier of Seven-Star Fiends, even the weakest one was still a Seven-Star Fiend!

He was an existence who had fused four profound mysteries.

Fanny also felt it was hard to believe.

"Hey, why are you all just standing there? Kenchi, hurry up and release the metal lifeform so we can continue our journey."

Simon said calmly.

Only then did everyone wake up from their shock, and Kenchi hurriedly brought out his last Leopard-shaped Metal Lifeform.

The group boarded it in a daze and continued on their way.

Inside the metal lifeform, a familiar scene played out once again.

"Simon, are you really a Midgod?"

Napote asked blankly.

"Of course I am, how many more times do I have to say it?"

Simon was left between laughter and tears.

Fanny finally regained her senses from the shock, as she had, after all, seen quite a few true powerhouses in her time.
