"I must say you're very clever. Your intelligence has piqued my curiosity. I can give you a chance—a chance to pledge your loyalty to me."
"As long as you pledge your loyalty to me, I can guarantee you won't die and will have the opportunity to see a wider world."
At some point, Leo stopped chanting and was able to speak freely. He even pointed a finger at Jialuolou, who was giving a detailed analysis, and said with great appreciation.
"Evil Otherworldly Being, justice is your mortal enemy! Even if you possess five Shadow Talent, today is your death day!" Jialuolou roared angrily. What gave this Otherworldly Being, who was even weaker than himself, the courage to speak to him like that?
"Fine, you let your chance to live slip through your own fingers. I hope you won't regret it when you die."
Leo said helplessly, while simultaneously moving his body, his bones making a terrifying cracking sound.
After maintaining the same posture for two and a half days straight, and reciting the incantation word for word, his body was stiff and his mind was rigid. He desperately needed a battle to soothe his mind.
"He's not as simple as he seems. Kill him."
Seeing that Leo could speak and move, these level-two Dark Night experts instantly realized that the altar had reached its final stage and Leo had to be killed.
" Body Refinement Wizard, First Layer Hunter Bloodline, Activated!"
Facing 150 level-two Dark Night experts, Leo let out a violent roar, instantly transforming into a three-meter-tall, dark red behemoth. His previously low aura surged several times over, unleashing the chilling aura of Hunter.
The surging blood in his veins flowed like a rushing river, and his bulging muscles exuded an aura of absolute power.
This is a life form that has never appeared in the Jeft World before; its supremely violent aura alone is enough to make more than a hundred level-two powerhouses hesitate to approach.
A crack appeared beside the Hunter, and a set of heavy, dark armor was directly placed on Hunter body. The armor seemed to come alive, stretching and covering, clinging tightly to the Hunter's body in a single breath, ensuring maximum defense while maintaining perfect flexibility.
The Hunter held a six-meter-long spear that crackled with thunderous energy in his hand, and the shadow beneath his feet seemed to sense the release of his power, twisting and contorting with glee.
" Shadow Space is actually the rarest type of spatial element."
While Jeft World, he is absolutely proficient in shadow abilities, and was recognized the moment Leo's Shadow Space unfolded.
"That's right, it's the Shadow Space, named for its infinite space encompassing the Shadow World." The Hunter's cruel voice rang out, the sound alone evoking images of a chewed-up corpse.
Faced with the enormous creature that had transformed to three meters tall, donned armor, and wielded weapons, only one word came to their minds: killing machine. The chilling killing intent that even the mask couldn't conceal, and the boiling aura ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment, all indicated that this was a combat machine born specifically for battle.
"He cannot leave the altar; kill him."
Jialuolou's loud shout made all the Night Warriors see that the Hunter's other hand was still tightly gripping the staff on the altar, never letting go.
"Hehehe, then you can try and see if you can kill me." Behind the mask came the Hunter's brutal laughter, like someone toying with a corpse.
"Boom"
In the blink of an eye, more than ten attacks struck the Hunter, and more than a hundred attacks hit the altar.
Seeing that the attack hit so easily, these level-two Dark Night experts couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. In this world, apart from gods, no life could withstand so many attacks, not even the Pope, who was known as the strongest in the world.
The demon from this other world looks menacing, like the legendary ultimate monster that destroyed the world, but in reality, it's nothing special.
But when the aftershocks of the attack subsided, what they saw was neither the slain otherworldly corpses nor the shattered altar.
Instead, the enormous troll that kept grinning at them, even the altar beneath their feet, which had withstood more than a hundred attacks, didn't even leave a mark.
"A cowardly attack, or have you not eaten? Why don't you go back and eat first before coming back?"
Mocking, blatant mockery.
Attack, keep attacking.
Destruction must be given.
This time, not a single powerful Dark Knight attacked the altar below; instead, they focused all their firepower on that wretched otherworldly creature.
Enraged, all the powerful warriors of the night unleashed their most powerful attacks.
One hundred and fifty level-two Dark Night experts, each attacking an average of ten times, that's an attack frequency of one thousand five hundred times.
The powerful attack instantly caused the entire sky to boil, and the resulting elemental surges created waves that relentlessly pounded against the altar.
The figure on the altar, under such a terrifying attack, was like an egg hitting a mountain; no living being could believe that it could survive such an attack.
But when they stopped and looked again, the evil demon was still emitting terrifying laughter.
Laughter, like the most vicious language, relentlessly mocked their weakness, enraging them more than anything else.
Why is it ineffective?
These powerful beings, who already stood at the pinnacle of the Jeft World, could hardly imagine why any life could ignore their terrifying attacks. Even ten Demigod would have died under such circumstances.
"Perhaps it's not that our attack was ineffective, but rather that this evil altar absorbed our attack."
These powerful individuals, who were able to advance to the second level, were naturally all top performers in their respective fields, or even geniuses. Their absolute wisdom allowed them to see the clue: after their attack, the faint aura emanating from the altar had increased slightly.
This slight change made them realize that something was wrong.
"As expected of an evil creation, it can actually absorb our attacks."
"Since we can't use energy attacks, we'll resort to close-quarters combat. Once we kill the presiding officer, the altar will naturally stop."
They identified the crux of the problem in just a few words and even came up with a solution; no wonder they were once geniuses.
Leo was somewhat disappointed to see that they had discovered the problem in just one attack.
As expected of a level two expert, after so many attacks, the altar's total energy has already reached 93%.
With over a thousand attacks, the total number of attacks surged by 3%.
If they don't notice, continue attacking; after repeating this three times, you can reach 100%.
It's a pity that such a good opportunity only comes once!
"What a pity, we've been discovered."
But Leo wasn't flustered at all. Close combat was even better. Since his advancement, he hadn't had a real battle yet. Taking advantage of the endless energy he had now, fighting without restraint was the greatest reward for Body Refinement Wizard.
"Go to hell."
In an instant, more than ten level-two Dark Night experts appeared around Leo, their various weapons covering Leo entire body. Their level-two speed was so fast that even with Leo's eyes fully focused, he could not aim at them all.
But Leo had a plan. With a light tap of his foot, eight shadows flew out instantly, and the magical power within Leo's body surged forth like a raging flood.
Compared to before, the mana output is now terrifying; it can drain Leo's mana in an instant.
But before his mana could be depleted, endless energy instantly replenished it, so Leo didn't need to worry about mana consumption at all.
Once the altar's total capacity exceeds 90%, it can provide endless support to Leo!
Eight shadows, three of which were Gravity Shadow, directly increased the Gravity multiplier to seventy times, which is currently the maximum Gravity multiplier that the Hunter can withstand.
The maximum Gravity that Hunter can withstand is beyond what ordinary life can bear. The moment the three level-two Dark Night experts were locked onto by the Gravity Shadow, their entire bodies felt as if they were being gripped tightly by an irresistible giant hand. If the force were just a fraction stronger, they would be instantly crushed into a meat patty.
The three shadows were Ice Shadow, their temperature set to the absolute lowest possible. The three level-two Dark Night experts instantly slowed their movements, struggling to reach Leo in front of them. But at their current speed, they couldn't even cover those two meters while Leo was eating a meal.
There were also two shadows, which were Spatial Shackles Rune Array Shadow Leo had never used before. Leo didn't use them much because his understanding of space was not thorough enough, which made him less proficient in using the power of the Spatial Shackles Shadow.
But now, whether it's the Gravity Shadow or the Ice Shadow, even though they both perform very well, the most outstanding one is actually the Spatial Shackles Shadow.
Only two Spatial Shackles Shadow instantly locked the two level-two Dark Night experts in mid-air. Their expressions were filled with fear and dread, because they were unable to move, as if the space around them had frozen.
" Thunder Plow Sweep "
A fight can happen in an instant, and in a battle between masters, a single move can be fatal; the moment a mistake occurs, life or death is decided.
The Hunter swept his thunderous spear across, unleashing a terrifying surge of thunderous energy that rose more than ten meters, tearing apart the eight level-two Dark Night experts who were locked onto by the three types of shadows.
Level One Body Refinement Wizard instantly killed eight level two Dark Night Warriors!
This is the terrifying aspect of Leo's Shadow Talent, and also the most fundamental power that Benji coveted so much.
He couldn't increase Leo's attack power, but he could reduce the enemy's combat power, which indirectly increased Leo's combat power and forcibly eliminated the difference in attack power caused by the level.
Of course, there are other factors involved. For example, once the altar's energy exceeds 90%, it can feed back endless energy to Leo, which is the fundamental reason why he can use the maximum power of the eight shadows without restraint.
Secondly, his opponents weren't those freakish wizards, but merely ordinary level two beings from a small world.
Given these level two wizards before him, let alone Leo being able to kill those of higher levels, even other more powerful First-Level Wizard could easily do the same here.
The terror of wizards is beyond the comprehension of these narrow-minded people!
