Magic immunity was actually a gaming term.

More accurately, it should be called magic resistance.

Take the Loess Giant, for example. Its race's natural advantages were exceptionally high defense and strength, while some races possessed naturally high resistance to magic.

The most famous for extremely strong magic resistance was the legendary Golden Dragon. The Golden Dragon race possessed absurdly high magic immunity.

Magic below their rank was almost completely ineffective against them.

Besides Golden Dragons, the race with the highest degree of magic immunity was the Golden Slime branch of the slime race. Their magic resistance was equally astonishing.

The Silver Demon before them clearly possessed a considerable degree of magic resistance.

Otherwise, it could not have so easily slapped aside Wang Quan's Great Fireball.

"What do we do now?" Blue Lotus nervously took a step back, shielding the three men in front of her.

The Silver Demon's high magic resistance was truly bad news for them.

After all, their four-person group had no warriors. Aside from the battle against the Loess Giant, Wang Quan's magic had been their main source of damage throughout the journey.

In that case...

Wang Quan and the other two turned their eyes toward Gu Xin.

"Brother, looks like today's your time to shine."

Wang Quan had great faith in his good brother, even though this Silver Demon looked extremely difficult to handle.

"Will Gu Xin win?" Blue Lotus recalled Akaza, who had instantly killed the Loess Giant in a single move.

The Silver Demon possessed partial magic immunity, so they naturally had to fight it in close combat.

"He'll win."

Gu Xin remained utterly calm.

The Silver Demon had originally been preparing to enjoy the despair of these four humans. It loved the desperate expressions humans wore when cornered.

To it, those expressions were the finest spiritual nourishment, enough to delight it for a long time.

But it discovered that these four humans really seemed rather strange.

They had not panicked upon seeing the Darkness Array, had not been surprised when it appeared, and had not been afraid when their magic attack proved ineffective.

Really... it gave this demon no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

Boring humans. There was truly nothing interesting about them.

The Silver Demon's scarlet eyes flickered continuously. It was unhappy now—extremely unhappy.

"Which one should I start with?"

The Silver Demon lightly flexed its long, razor-sharp claws, its gaze repeatedly sweeping over Gu Xin's group of four.

At last, the Silver Demon's gaze settled on Blue Lotus. It could sense that the magic power on her was of the light attribute.

This was magic power that demons hated and found repulsive. In the Silver Demon's eyes, the flesh of humans with this kind of magic power was sour!

But sour was sour. A body containing magic power could not be wasted—it still had to be eaten.

As long as it ate these four humans, it would surely advance into a third-rank Greater Demon!

Then it would start with this female human and save the other three delicacies for later.

The Silver Demon bared its teeth, revealing a smile on its evil face that could make a child stop crying.

"Hehehe, human, here I come."

But in the next moment, the Silver Demon's smile froze on its face. It heard the black-haired human opposite it softly say four words.

"Baron Nashor."

A low growl from the Void echoed through the air, making it impossible to tell whether the sound was even real.

Dim, dark-purple ghostly light flickered faintly.

Cracks of the Void appeared across the ground as a ferocious, incomparably massive creature lunged out from a ruptured spatial rift.

"Roar~!"

Baron Nashor threw back its head and let out a thunderous roar. Its enormous, terrifying maw gaped open, its bottomless abdominal mouth like a black hole—darkness and terror.

Having vented the exhilaration of emerging from the Void, Baron Nashor slowly lowered its enormous head. Its spider-like compound eyes stared intently at the Silver Demon.

Compared to the time in Asma's basement, Baron Nashor had fully manifested this time.

Its colossal body rose high into the air like a giant serpent holding up the heavens, an overwhelmingly powerful and shocking sight.

"Whoa!!" Meng Xiu's mouth fell open as he stared blankly at Baron Nashor.

"W-What... is that thing?"

Blue Lotus stared wide-eyed at Baron Nashor, which towered like a great spire, too shocked for words.

By estimation, this dark-purple monster was probably forty or fifty meters tall!

The intense pressure it exuded seemed to make even the air thicken. There was no need to say more—it was at least third-rank!

Third tier!!

But this Baron Nashor had been summoned by Gu Xin—he actually possessed a third-tier summon card?

"Baron Nashor. That's its name. Isn't it cute?"

Gu Xin answered Blue Lotus with a smile. This was also the first time he had properly seen Baron Nashor in its entirety.

It had to be said that, in Gu Xin's eyes, Baron Nashor's savage and terrifying appearance was precisely one of the reasons it carried such overwhelming intimidation.

So Baron Nashor was not ugly. It merely looked rather frightening.

There was no helping it. In a sense, he could be considered Baron Nashor's creator, so naturally Gu Xin was somewhat biased.

"Cute??"

Blue Lotus snapped back to her senses. Looking at Baron Nashor's three horrifying, gaping maws and their mouths full of fangs, she fell silent.

"Da Gu, did you make this too?" Wang Quan was both shocked and excited.

As expected of my brother!

"Yes, but I'm not planning to sell Baron Nashor. I'll be using this card myself."

Gu Xin had guessed what Wang Quan was thinking and said so in advance.

Baron Nashor was the strongest summon card he had created, and Gu Xin had no intention of selling it.

"Then sell me one when you make a second card!" Wang Quan immediately said.

Baron Nashor's visual impact was simply too intense. It had drifted forth from the void, making an utterly domineering entrance.

As for its terrifying, frightening appearance, Wang Quan did not care in the slightest. He even thought Baron Nashor was insanely cool. This was the kind of summon card Wang Aotian ought to have!

"Sure." Gu Xin agreed, then turned his gaze toward the Silver Demon.

The Silver Demon was already drenched in sweat.

Especially under Baron Nashor's startlingly intense, almost tangible gaze, beads of sweat densely surfaced across the Silver Demon's forehead.

For the first time, it experienced what it meant to feel thorns at one's back, pins beneath one's seat, and a parched mouth.

"No, I'm no match for a monster like this."

The Silver Demon frantically spun its proud brain, desperately trying to think of a solution.

Although it was currently within the Darkness Array, and theoretically speaking, its strength had been enhanced inside this array.

But the key was that the Silver Demon could tell that the monster opposite it was also of the darkness attribute. That meant Baron Nashor held the same advantage within this array.

Should it run? But if it ran like this, could it even outrun that monster?

"Baron Nashor, kill it." Gu Xin's tone was utterly casual.

"Wait! Human, wait!" the Silver Demon hurriedly called out.

"?" Gu Xin tilted his head.

"Human, I think we can talk."

The Silver Demon forced a friendly smile onto its face, and even softened its tone, no longer going "heh."

As a demon, one had to know when to yield and when to stand firm! Only then could one become a great demon capable of standing on one's own!
