However, after only a few rounds of fighting with Samayev, an unexpected incident occurred on the primary battlefield where he thought he had a numerical advantage.
Both sides had around 100 level one experts, but the 107 level one experts of the Gulu Clan were held back by the 50 level one experts of the Dark Night Army.
Nearly fifty level-one Night Elves, instead of attacking the ordinary Gulu, charged directly towards the altar.
Nobody's a fool; everyone knows that Benji is protecting this evil altar, and the entire Gulu Clan revolves around it.
The final victory will be achieved once the altar is destroyed.
As for the Gulu Clan, the news has already been relayed back, and more armies will arrive in succession. The Gulu Clan is just a small tribe with only one Demigod and five Saint; they can be easily dealt with.
"You're so bold!"
Benji roared in anger. It was certain that Leo had other preparations, but if he were to be killed by these level one Dark Nights and brought down to the altar, it would be a testament to his incompetence.
Benji swiftly lashed out with its tail, sending Samayev flying, intending to swat the sneak attackers to death with a single claw strike. But Samayev instantly appeared in front of it, blocking Benji's path.
"Hehe, where do you want to go? Don't get distracted."
"Roll."
The enraged Benji unleashed its three tails simultaneously, creating a deafening roar as it ripped through the air, while its two claws, even larger than Samayev's, unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks.
In an instant, Samayev was put on the defensive. Benji was definitely stronger Samayev, but faced with Samayev's relentless entanglement, Benji was also temporarily unable to move and could only watch helplessly as the fifty level one Dark Night Soldiers charged toward the altar.
Benji could only plead with Leo to use more sophisticated and ruthless methods, otherwise their Gulu Clan would be wiped out today.
Leo kept a close eye on the entire battlefield. Apart from the fifty Level 1 Dark Night People broke through the encirclement, there were no other variables, and the final victory belonged to them.
The entire Gulu race could still easily devour this Dark Night Army.
However, after consuming this army of 10,000, the Gulu Clan will also suffer heavy losses, and when the Dark Night Army comes next time, the Gulu Clan will not be of much use.
Fifty level-one Dark Nights had already entered the 1,000-meter range, and Leo's hands were still gripping the staff tightly, his chanting continuing unabated, his magical power surging into the altar like a flood.
He cannot stop; stopping will inevitably lead to a failure of energy transmission, which could result in starting over from scratch or even the entire plan failing.
Leo may seem harmless, like a lamb to the slaughter, but anyone who treats him like a lamb is a fool.
Leo lightly tapped his foot, and the shadow beneath his feet twisted, instantly splitting into eight shadows that disappeared.
This was the first official combat test of the modified shadow. Leo watched with distraction. No matter how perfect the data in the experiment was, the actual combat test was far more convincing than the experimental data.
Before the fifty level-one Night Elf soldiers could even sense an attack, half of them were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, while the other half were crushed into bloody pancakes, their blood splattering everywhere, and they crumbled to the ground without uttering a sound.
The frost that froze in that instant captured the final expressions of these soldiers in the darkness, leaving the world with their last images: a mixture of smugness, unwavering resolve, and burning gazes.
But there was no panic, no fear!
This means that they were unaware of how they were attacked in their final moments.
They probably didn't even know they were dead after they died.
As for the Dark Night First-Class soldier who was compressed into a meat patty, even his hardest skull was turned into powder.
There was no sound, no screams, no cries for help; death came instantly, leaving only a pool of blood and flesh.
The actual combat that Leo wanted to see didn't happen, because the battle ended in an instant, so simple that Leo was a little incredulous. This was even better than the data from the laboratory tests.
"This is..."
This sneak attack was not only being watched by Leo, but by the entire battlefield. When he saw fifty level one Dark Nights die instantly, the level three Samayev was so shocked that his movements faltered. In that instant, Benji seized the opportunity and lashed him away with his tail, and several of his teeth could be seen drawing beautiful arcs in the air.
Even though Samayev was severely injured by Benji, he still looked at the thin figure on the altar. He hadn't sensed any attack aura, yet his fifty level-one subordinates had died instantly.
Half of it was frozen into an ice sculpture, and the other half seemed to have been crushed into bloody foam by an illusory mountain pressing down on it.
This form of attack, which was beyond his comprehension, was what shocked him; if he didn't figure out how it happened, countless people would die.
In contrast to Samayev's shock, Benji laughed heartily. As expected of the master he had signed the contract with, his methods were so formidable. Having just advanced to the Level One Body Refinement Wizard, he could instantly kill fifty first-level wizards from their Jeft World.
Wizards are all weirdos!
This is still Leo's combat power before activating the Hunter Bloodline. Once Leo activates the Hunter Bloodline, Benji guesses that Leo could even fight to a draw with a level two fighter from their Jeft World. Such attack power is truly terrifying.
Those watching the battle were naturally shocked by the outcome, but Leo knew the whole story.
The eight shadows, three of which depicted Gravity Rune System, three depicted Frost Rune System, and the other two depicted Space Shackles Rune Array.
Leo was worried that the Gravity Rune Array and the Frost Rune Array would not be effective, so he placed two Space Shackles Rune Array arrays in place.
The shadows' attack range was also 500 meters. When the fifty level one dark nights stepped into the 500-meter range, three Gravity Shadow and three Ice Shadow appeared in the shadows beneath their feet using the Shadow Jump teleportation ability.
Instant start!
The Gravity Shadow instantly activated thirty times the Gravity. This was not the limit of the Gravity Shadow, but rather the multiplier that Leo chose to activate for testing data. As a result, these so-called first-level life forms could not withstand it at all and were instantly Gravity.
The combat power was so excessive that Leo was unable to calculate the Gravity limit that these level one Dark Night units could withstand.
The same principle applies to the Ice Shadow; by turning the power to maximum and setting the temperature to -150℃, the moisture in the bodies of these Dark Night creatures is frozen in an instant.
While it may seem that the fifty level-one Dark Nights died in an instant, Leo's shadows actually attacked fifty times.
However, attacks using teleportation speed are extremely difficult to detect!
Murder, taking a life, is that simple!
This is why Leo called the modified Shadow a "life harvester".
Even if tens of thousands of lives attack simultaneously, he can guarantee to kill them all in an instant!
However, despite its seemingly powerful attack capabilities, it actually has a major flaw.
Leo swayed, his face deathly pale. A shadow conjured a bottle of Black Pearl Potion and stuffed it into Leo's mouth. With his magic power replenished, Leo felt much better.
The drawback of the Ten Shadow Attacks is that they all consume the mana of the main body; each attack uses Leo's mana.
This means that Leo alone has to supply the needs of ten shadows in addition to himself.
While it may seem like the consumption has increased elevenfold, it's actually far more than that, because once these shadows attack, they all operate at full capacity, consuming mana exponentially.
Fifty simple attacks in an instant were enough to deplete Leo's magical power.
Besides the drawback of high mana consumption, there is another drawback: the maximum attack power of the runes inscribed on these shadows cannot exceed Leo's tolerance range.
The maximum tolerance range refers to the Hunter form after Leo activates his Bloodline, not the human form on Earth.
In Leo's view, this point can no longer be considered a weakness. After all, the Hunter's attack limit is such that almost no life of the same level can withstand it. Body Refinement Wizard rely on this physique for their livelihood, and being too weak is unacceptable.
The fighting on the battlefield continued. There was not much to say about the battle on the ground. Facing ten times the number of the Gulu Clan, even though they didn't know any battle formations and even though they didn't have sophisticated weapons, their all-out fighting style still caused heavy losses to the Dark Night Army.
The only manpower the Dark Night Army could muster was those fifty level-one experts. After they were instantly killed by Leo, the annihilation of the rest was only a matter of time.
The two sides clashed in the secondary battlefield, suffering losses on both sides, resulting in a draw.
As for the battlefield between Benji and Samayev, Benji has a complete advantage and can win completely in just half an hour. As for whether he can kill Samayev, no one can say for sure.
That's how high-level battles are; the two sides aren't too far apart in strength, so winning is relatively easy, but killing someone is extremely difficult, since you can't stop them from running away.
However, another situation on the battlefield made Leo frown, because he realized that Samayev had deliberately placed his and Benji's battle in the air above the ground battlefield.
The battle between two level-three experts was explosive, and even a casual aftershock could instantly kill a group of low-level beings.
Don't even mention those low-level beings; even a Level 1 life form can't withstand the aftershocks of a Level 3 battlefield. Just look at those ten Level 2 beings who are far away from the Level 3 battlefield; they're fighting around it.
Large numbers of low-level beings were killed by the aftershocks of the Level 3 battlefield. Every attack by Benji and Samayev would create clouds of blood mist on the ground battlefield, even more terrifying than Leo's thirty times Gravity compression.
On the battlefield, the Gulu Clan naturally has more low-level life forms.
Samayev completely disregarded the lives of his soldiers and was determined to decimate the Gulu Clan. His wickedness was beyond description.
Of course, Leo only sees things this way because he is on Benji's side. In reality, he has no feelings about this behavior at all. If he were in Samayev's shoes, he would be even more ruthless and vicious Samayev.
As long as he can buy him time, even if Benji dies, Leo will remain unmoved.
Benji knew that Samayev was doing this on purpose, but since the two were evenly matched, he couldn't drive Samayev away. He could only watch helplessly as his people were killed one by one, like mowing grass.
To vent his anger, he also unleashed his attacks into the Dark Night Army.
