The newly summoned Battle Axe Demon had barely charged forward a few steps before the Titan War General appeared before it in a flash, the massive sword in its hand following close behind. Its speed was so overwhelming that no one could react in time.
Even though Shi Feng could see through the Battle Axe Demon's field of vision, dodging was completely out of the question. All he could do was watch helplessly as the great sword descended.
Bam!
The Battle Axe Demon was sent flying over thirty yards. Though it had managed to block with its weapon, it still lost tens of thousands of HP. And before it even hit the ground, the Titan War General had already appeared behind the Battle Axe Demon, slashing down with its sword once more.
This time, even though Shi Feng wanted to control the Battle Axe Demon to block with its weapon, the impact from the first hit had caused a brief paralysis. Its reaction speed had dropped significantly, and it could not keep up with the Titan War General's blade at all.
A flash of sword light—space itself seemed to be cleaved in two. A fourth-tier skill: Rending Slash.
The Battle Axe Demon took a direct hit to its body this time.
With a single blow, the Battle Axe Demon—which had a whopping 25 million-plus HP—lost nearly a fifth of its health on the spot. The sheer destructive power left Jing Wuming and the others in the distance, who had been preparing to attack, completely stunned.
A terrifying third-tier demon had absolutely no ability to fight back against the Titan War General. If it were them instead, the consequences would be unthinkable…
Only Shi Feng remained unfazed.
When monsters fought other monsters, it was nothing like monsters fighting players. Players enjoyed significant damage reduction against monster attacks, but there was no such reduction between monsters themselves. That meant the damage dealt was absolutely terrifying, and using summoned creatures or NPC guards to easily toy with powerful bosses was far from simple.
Moreover, the Battle Axe Demon was only third-tier. The Titan War General was a fourth-tier Legendary creature, which meant it had a tier suppression advantage over the Battle Axe Demon, further amplifying its damage. Demons also had naturally lower HP pools. Taking a direct hit from a fourth-tier skill and losing a fifth of its health was nothing worth being alarmed about.
The Titan War General struck the Battle Axe Demon again and again. Despite Shi Feng's desperate attempts to defend, its HP plummeted like mad. Just as the health dropped to less than half, the nine magic-class members of the Asura Adventuring Party had finally surrounded the Titan War General.
"Now!" Shi Feng shouted repeatedly.
At his command, all nine people unfurled the magic scrolls in their hands and began chanting the activation incantation.
In an instant, an ice-blue magic array materialized in midair, completely enveloping the Titan War General within it. Immediately after, the mana throughout the entire cavern surged like a storm, flooding into the core of the magic array. A watery-blue barrier then formed, wrapping the Titan War General entirely.
Boom!
The moment the barrier formed, the Titan War General's entire body was shrouded in a layer of icy mist. Frost began forming at its joints, and its base stats plummeted wildly.
90%… 80%… 70%…
"So this is the power of an Origin Magic Array?" Shi Feng watched the Titan War General steadily weaken, unable to hide his own surprise.
In the span of a blink, the Titan War General's base stats had fallen to 60% of their original value. Though it wasn't the 50% the scroll had promised, it was already incredibly impressive. After all, mechanical creatures had naturally high magic resistance. Driving its stats down to 60% of the original was beyond his expectations.
Though the reduction was severe, and the freezing effect had further slowed the Titan War General's movements, the Battle Axe Demon was still being completely overwhelmed. The only difference was that its HP was dropping at a less alarming rate than before.
"Even this isn't enough?" Jing Wuming and the others in the distance were stunned.
With its stats suppressed by forty percent, the Titan War General could still completely crush a third-tier Level 73 demon. Killing the Battle Axe Demon would just take a little more time.
"Truly worthy of being a Legendary monster. Even suppressed like this, a third-tier demon still has no chance of fighting back." Shi Feng gave a faint, bitter smile. But this was within his expectations. He then retrieved the Ring of Gospel from his inventory and loaded five thousand Magic Crystals into it in one go, activating World Projection.
The Ring of Gospel's skill was not a magic array, but it could stack with the Nine-Star Extreme Domain.
As soon as World Projection was unleashed, the Titan War General's stats dropped once more. However, the degree of reduction was clearly less than that of the Nine-Star Extreme Domain—it still allowed the Titan War General to maintain roughly 50% of its original stats.
Titan War General (Temple Guardian), Mechanical Creature, Legendary, Level 70, HP: 180 million.
The Titan War General swung its blade, and several more arcs of sword light hurtled toward the Battle Axe Demon.
At that moment, the Dread Demon arrived as well, its war saber sweeping down at the same time.
