Chapter 223
Shen Xing raised an eyebrow slightly; this direction of advancement was beyond his expectations.
That's quite normal, though, since Hellscream fused with the Lesser Demon's Blood, his evolutionary path has become unpredictable.
No one knows what level this orc will eventually reach or what kind of being he will evolve into.
Hellscream has forged his own path.
As usual, I clicked on the new skill and took a look.
[Avatar - Doomsday Judicator]
[Skill Description: Fully activates the demonic power within your bloodline, replacing the 'Half-Demon Transformation' skill, and completely transforms you into a new form— the Doomsday Judicator!]
[Skill Effect: During Transform, Hellscream's size doubles, and his four main attributes increase by an additional 50%.]
It will also activate three exclusive skills: 'Judgment Battle Axe', 'Grip of Condemnation', and 'Doomsday Descends'.
Duration: 300 seconds, Cooldown: 3 hours
(Note: During the Transform, if Hellscream is fatally attacked, he will not die immediately, but will instead revert to Doomsday Judicator form.)
"It's a Transform skill! Not only does it increase attributes by an additional 50%, but it also activates three exclusive skills."
"More importantly, you won't die from a fatal attack during the Transform; instead, the form will revert, which is like having an extra life."
As Shen Xing analyzed the skill, he was amazed by its power.
Hellscream appears to have only activated one Leader Rank skill this time, one less than Leina.
But in fact, his improvement was even more terrifying.
"Very well, let me see the power of these three skills that can only be used in Transformation Form."
Shen Xing opened the skill details and took a look.
[Judgment Battle Axe: The weapon is imbued with the authority of the Last Judgment, doubles in size, and ignites with pitch-black apocalyptic fire.]
Each attack now deals damage in a forward fan-shaped area and inflicts 30% armor penetration, dealing an additional 40% damage to targets with more than 70% health.
[Grip of Condemnation: Select a single target and unleash a giant, dark claw that drags them into the ground, dealing massive damage equal to (Attack Power * 245%).]
If the target dies in this attack, the overflow damage will be fully absorbed by all enemies within a 100-meter radius.
Cooldown time: 35 seconds
[Doomsday Descends: Fully unleash the doomsday power within your body, announcing the official arrival of the apocalypse at this moment.]
Select an area with a diameter of 1000 meters in front of you and turn it into scorched earth and cracked ground.
Over the next 3 seconds, a large number of (Agility*1=2038) pillars of doomsday fire erupt from the rift, dealing saturation damage to enemies within the area.
This can only be used once during each Transform.
"These three skills are really powerful!"
"It's incredibly well-rounded, combining armor penetration, crowd control, area-of-effect damage, and a final, crowd-clearing ultimate."
Shen Xing sighed softly.
Prior to this, many of the skills and talents activated by Hellscream were applied to friendly orcs, which could boost the combat power of all orcs.
This breakthrough to the Boss mainly improved his own combat strength, which is quite impressive.
I glanced at the attributes.
[Hero - Hellscream]
[Occupation: Doomsday Judicator]
[Level: 19]
[Potential: Boss ★]
[Detailed attributes: Click to view]
"This is truly extreme; other attributes are all below 800, but agility has already exceeded 2000."
Shen Xing pondered that, in terms of agility alone, he was probably inferior to some Tier Three Boss.
At this moment, Hellscream, having completed his breakthrough, had fully adapted to the power within his body.
His body had grown even taller, estimated to be at least 2.3 meters tall, with huge bat wings folded behind him, giving off an astonishing sense of oppression just by standing there.
The blue patterns on the upper body became even darker, exuding an aura of destruction.
But what I saw in those beastly eyes was wisdom and composure.
"My lord, thank you for granting me evolution." Hellscream bowed deeply.
"You're welcome."
Shen Xing smiled and asked, "If you were to fight a Tier Three Boss right now, what are your chances of winning?"
Hellscream thought for a moment and replied, "In a one-on-one situation, I have about a 100% chance of winning."
100%?
Shen Xing's eyes lit up slightly. So, it meant a 100% certain victory?
So, including Leina, there are now two Tier Three combatants in my territory.
If we bring along other troop types, wouldn't we be able to try and complete the Dragon Tomb quest?
After all, according to the black dragon, there were only five ferocious beast souls inside, the strongest of which was no more than the Tier Three.
Moreover, these ferocious beast souls do not appear all at once, but can be unsealed one by one, allowing for a righteous gang fight against them.
At that point, in a two-on-one situation, coupled with a ranged army, victory is practically guaranteed.
"Based on the current strength of my territory, if the intelligence on that black dragon is accurate, the chances of victory are over 130%."
"In that case, let's go."
"The black dragon said it couldn't hold on much longer, and to avoid any unforeseen problems, it's best to finish as soon as possible."
Shen Xing made a decision quickly.
But before that, he needed to contact Xia Wanyin.
After all, we had agreed that I would bring her along when I did this mission.
Worried that she hadn't gotten up yet, Shen Xing sent a voice message on Green Bubble.
"I plan to enter the Dragon Tomb again today. How's it going on your end? How many troops can you bring out?"
A moment later, the phone vibrated slightly.
Take Her Eyes With You: "Sure, I'm ready too!"
"As for troop strength... I currently have a little over four hundred Light Spirit troops in my territory, and I've also leveled up Xiao Guang to the maximum level."
"However, I need to leave a portion behind to guard the area; I can probably bring out about three hundred Light Spirit."
Hearing this number, Shen Xing felt a little more at ease.
Including her side, that makes three Tier Two max-level heroes, which greatly increases our chances of success.
"That's enough," Shen Xing replied. "Then come over here, I'll wait for you in the territory."
"Good."
Xia Wanyin replied with an emoji and then ended the call.
At this moment, Shen Xing's consciousness returned to the Land of Mist.
He was just about to go to an open area in the outer city to gather his troops.
Just then, a tall figure walked gracefully towards them.
Her full head of red hair swayed gently like flowing fire, and her wide robes could not conceal her graceful figure; her steps were light and agile.
It was Leina.
"My lord, I'm sorry, I overslept." She bowed, her face full of apology.
Shen Xing looked up and scrutinized her for a moment.
For some reason, he felt that Leina seemed to have a special aura about her today.
In simpler terms, it's about femininity.
Having experienced lovemaking for the first time, she shed some of her naivety and appeared more mature and alluring.
"Are you... alright?" Shen Xing somewhat awkwardly. "If you're not feeling well, remember to rest more."
Leina looked up and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Lord. I'm not feeling unwell at all."
"In fact, I felt an unprecedented sense of ease."
Shen Xing did indeed notice that Leina was different today than before.
She used to be taciturn, as if she was deliberately suppressing her emotions.
But today, she gives off a natural and relaxed feeling, as if the suppressed flames in her heart were all released last night.
Thinking about this, Shen Xing couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Could it be that... people in this world also experience sexual repression?
Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent.
He straightened his expression and said in a deep voice, "Since there's no problem, then come with me to the Dragon Tomb later."
"It's my pleasure to serve you." Leina bowed gracefully, then added, "My dear lord."
Shen Xing withdrew his gaze, then raised his wine glass to the megaphone and shouted loudly, "All combat units, assemble at the village entrance!"
The deep voice echoed throughout the entire territory, reverberating among the buildings.
Immediately afterwards, the entire territory came to a stop.
The orcs who were patrolling and training around the territory stopped their iron axes and rushed towards the village entrance, howling.
In that vast burial ground, countless skeletons crawled out of the black soil, moving swiftly forward on their skeletal legs.
From the lava pool, small figures flapped their wings and flew out, leaving trails of eerie green flames in the air.
Even in the meteorite craters outside the city, clusters of burning green flames lit up, and the slumbering Infernal slowly rose, their heavy footsteps causing the ground to tremble slightly.
It took twelve minutes for all troop types to line up.
At this moment, all of the territory's troops were gathered in the open space at the village entrance.
Several hundred orcs stood at the forefront, with Gorehowl and Da Hou standing on either side. Behind them were a dark mass of green-skinned warriors wielding iron axes, and a pack of wolf riders riding gray giant wolves.
