But their expectations and numerous speculations were shattered by what happened on the battlefield: a Purgatory Demon Vajra Giant instantly in front of the Vajra Giant, intending to kill it with a single claw strike.
Before it could even extend its claws, the Godslaying Staff, carrying terrifying lightning, swept out violently, shattering space along with it, and struck Basiba's claws precisely.
"Boom"
The powerful collision caused Basiba to retreat hundreds of meters in disbelief before the force dissipated, while the Vajra Giant also carved two trenches hundreds of meters long and tens of meters deep into the ground before stopping.
Another evenly matched contest!!
Even when facing a level 6 Purgatory Demon in close combat, the level 5 Vajra Giant still held its own!
"That's impossible."
Countless powerful onlookers gasped in surprise. Even if the Vajra Giant was at the limit of level five, it was impossible for him to fight the Purgatory Demon to a standstill in close combat.
You've angered me.
Basiba seemed to have completely lost his mind after failing to defeat the Vajra Giant time and again. He opened his mouth wide, frantically sucking all the flames in the air into his body.
Yellow energy bands appeared on his body surface, and his height of 800 meters expanded to 900 meters.
The terrifying pressure, belonging to level six, surged dramatically, and even the space around him showed signs of instability.
"Hmph, to deal with a mere level five like me, you actually used a short burst to unleash your potential. Even a level six Purgatory Demon is nothing special."
The Vajra Giant looked mockingly at the Purgatory Demon whose strength had increased, reached out and wiped his body, and a thick yellow light appeared on his outside, enveloping his entire body.
This is precisely the ability of the Vajra Giant: it can create a defensive layer with the same attack power to protect the Vajra Giant's safety.
"Boom"
The Purgatory Demon moved, its form vanished, replaced by a red ray of light that appeared in the air, like a thin red thread, instantly circling the Vajra Giant many times.
The speed has increased by more than 20% compared to before.
The Vajra Giant's eyes darted around rapidly, but he could only make out a blurry figure moving quickly around him.
Level 6 is Level 6; it's essentially closer to the rules, which makes their perception of time completely different.
Even at maximum speed, the Purgatory Demon is still very difficult for the Vajra Giant to catch.
"Sizzle"
"Sizzle"
"Sizzle"
Suddenly, the sound of the yellow protective layer being attacked came from behind. Before the Vajra Giant could even react, the sound of the yellow protective layer in front of him being attacked came again.
The Purgatory Demon, like hunters trapping their prey, are constantly seeking an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Vajra Giant.
The Vajra Giant was completely unable to keep up with his speed!
"Thunder"
Unable to catch the figure of the Purgatory Demon, the Vajra Giant could only passively take the beating. With a low roar, the area within a thousand meters around his body was once again completely enveloped by a sea of lightning.
However, the Purgatory Demon showed no regard for the damage from the lightning, stirring up the entire ocean of lightning and still transforming into red threads to frantically attack the Vajra Giant.
"Sizzle"
In an instant Vajra Giant was subjected to countless attacks; the speed of the Purgatory Demon rendered the Vajra Giant's counterattacks ineffective.
"Boom"
The yellow protective layer is broken.
Vajra Giant even saw the attack, three deep, bone-revealing wounds instantly appeared on its chest...
At the same time, wounds four or five meters deep appeared on his chest, neck, face, and back of the head. The most dangerous wound was on the back of his head. If the Vajra Giant hadn't sensed the danger and instinctively lowered his head, half of his head would have been chopped off by the Purgatory Demon.
For the first time Vajra Giant's face showed a serious expression, and he lightly tapped his finger.
" Gravity, petrification, lightning, low temperature, freezing, slowing, paralysis, sleep, soul shackles, spatial blockade, spatial solidification, spatial deflection, vision deprivation, blood boiling, Energy Disorder, Water Explosion Domain, activate!"
With a low shout, the lightning surrounding his body suddenly disappeared, replaced by layers of domain power.
The Purgatory Demon, which had just nearly killed the Vajra Giant Vajra Giant its incredible speed while hovering around its body, suddenly appeared in front of the Vajra Giant.
He slowed down completely; it wasn't a moment when the Vajra Giant couldn't keep up with him, but now you could see the shock and confusion on his face.
With the power of fifteen domains empowering him, even though he was only at level six, his strength decreased by more than 20%.
Not only does it erase the power that stimulates his physical potential, but it also subjectes him to even more negative effects.
The body's energy became disordered, causing a momentary blurring of consciousness. The body suddenly felt heavy, and the external space seemed to solidify and distort, impairing vision...
The appearance of multiple adverse conditions would cause even a level six expert to momentarily lose focus.
In a battle between the strongest, not many opportunities are needed; a single moment is enough!
The Vajra Giant reached out and grabbed the arm, which stretched out over a thousand meters in an unnatural way, directly seizing one of the Purgatory Demon's arms.
Before the Purgatory Demon could break free, a terrifying force descended, and the moisture in its entire arm rapidly gathered.
"Boom"
A ball of fire appeared, along with a severed arm that the Vajra Giant had grabbed and retracted.
There was no gushing blood from the wound, only black smoke rising from the charred wound.
Even though the Purgatory Demon were experts at manipulating fire, they still couldn't suppress their agonizing screams when faced with the extreme heat at the center of the nuclear explosion.
The Vajra Giant, holding the severed arm, glanced at the Purgatory Demon had retreated dozens of miles to create distance, then tossed the severed arm back into the Purgatory Demon's hand.
The Purgatory Demon writhed violently, its face alternating between red and black as it took the arm, its hands clenching and unclenching repeatedly.
Having his arm torn off by a level 5 opponent was enough to make him lose face, but now the opponent has thrown his arm back at him. What's the difference between him and a beggar?
He wanted to burn his arm to as a sign of mercy in rejecting his opponent, but the pain from the wound made him selectively forget how his arm had come back in the first place.
When the severed arm was reattached to the wound, new flesh continuously grew, and the severed arm was restored to its original condition.
The powerful figures watching from the periphery of the battlefield stared wide-eyed, holding their breath throughout the entire battle, afraid that their breathing might affect the two combatants.
After witnessing the Vajra Giant being left with only death after the Purgatory Demon breached its defenses, especially after seeing the giant suffer multiple wounds and nearly beheaded, they believed this even more strongly.
In their view, the Vajra Giant was at a complete disadvantage; his defeat and death occurred almost simultaneously.
But the turn of events came so quickly. First, the Purgatory Demon was subjected to some kind of attack, forcibly slowing it down from its maximum speed, causing it to miss its target.
Then the Vajra Giant seized the opportunity and forcibly severed one of his arms!
Although the Vajra Giant returned the arm to the Purgatory Demon, and the Purgatory Demon returned to its original state, everyone could see that, so far, neither of them had the upper hand in their battle; it was a draw.
But a draw is an honor for a level 5 Vajra Giant, but a blatant disgrace for a level 6 Purgatory Demon Basiba!
" Basiba, though I hate to admit it, you are no match for our Atomic Control Stigmata Great Wizard. I advise you to give up on a one-on-one duel."
A voice came from outside the battlefield, causing Basiba was already on the verge of exploding, to turn around abruptly and stare with murderous intent at whoever was speaking.
How dare he think that his great level six Purgatory Demon is inferior to a level five wizard? Didn't he see that he was just a hair's breadth away from beheading him?
The voice turned out to come from a Level-Six Stigmata Great Wizard — the Limit of Fire Stigmata Great Wizard!!
"Hmph, you wizards would actually say such things for the sake of false glory?"
Basiba roared, unable to accept that the match was even a draw, how dare they say he was inferior to a Level-Five Stigmata Wizard.
"Shortsighted fool, haven't you noticed that our Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard have never left the ground?"
The Limit of Fire Stigmata Great Wizard said something that made Leo want to kill him.
"Master, I think you really need to be more careful in the future, otherwise you might fall into a ditch without even knowing it one day."
The Vajra Giant looked up at the Limit of Fire Stigmata Wizard in the distance. This was his biggest weakness: he couldn't break the connection when branding a cosmic-level treasure, so he had to stand on the ground to withstand the attacks.
The person who knows you best is your enemy. Leo had been hiding something from everyone, but the wizards discovered it.
Basiba turned to look at the Vajra Giant on the ground, his eyes filled with questions.
The ground was shattered by their battle, but the Vajra Giant remained standing, even when the giant was nearly killed by the attack.
That's definitely not normal. If he were facing such a severe attack, he would definitely have shifted the battlefield and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.
"Heh, Atomic Control Stigmata Wizard, I suspect there must be some secret underground, otherwise you wouldn't act this way. You could have ended the battle with Basiba much earlier, but you always pretended to be suppressed, and even returned the severed arm to Basiba to buy time."
"Even when you initially proposed a one-on-one duel, it was to stall for time. Am I right?"
The Limit of Fire Stigmata Great Wizard smiled at Leo, as if he could read Leo's mind, constantly revealing what Leo was trying so hard to hide.
Others may not know the combat power of this Level-Five Elemental Body Tempering Stigmata Wizard, but they know it all too well, having studied it countless times in private.
Although the strength he displayed this time has reached the limit of level five, as long as his attack power is proportionally magnified, we can calculate the current strength of Atomic Control.
Knowing his true strength, one can naturally see how unreasonable his performance in battle was!
