On the battlefield, after Shi Feng finished sacrificing five thousand Magic Crystals, an enormous magic circle instantly formed before him. Unlike other magic circles, this one did not frantically absorb mana from its surroundings. Instead, it seemed to connect directly to the dark world, causing the dark force within to gush forth and continuously spread outward.
The dense dark force quickly shrouded the entire magic circle in a layer of black mist, even dispersing the demonic energy in the vicinity.
After two or three seconds, the thick dark force that had been emanating outward suddenly drew together as if answering a summons, gradually coalescing into a massive figure.
The instant this colossal figure took shape, an overwhelming wave of pressure surged outward in all directions. And as the figure's form grew clearer and clearer, the aura it exuded became increasingly formidable.
In less than five seconds, a Baphomet standing over thirty meters tall appeared before everyone's eyes.
This Baphomet was a far cry from the one Shi Feng had previously slain.
The former had been a High Grand Lord, but now it was a Level 80 Legendary great demon. And beyond that, thanks to the Demon Lord effect of the Book of Darkness, Baphomet's base attributes had surged by another 35%.
Baphomet. High Demon. Legendary. Level 80. HP: 324,000,000.
The charging demon army was now less than a hundred yards away. Baphomet lightly tapped the ground and vanished from where it stood, reappearing in the blink of an eye right before the demonic horde. Its razor-sharp claws swept forward in a devastating swipe.
Boom!
Every demon within a twenty-yard radius in front of Baphomet was sent flying. The ground was flattened as though it had been scraped clean. Elite and Special Elite demons were obliterated on the spot, and even Leader-rank demons were left with only a sliver of health.
"So powerful!" The Zero Wing members rushing over from the side gasped in unison as they witnessed the scene.
They could all tell that this was nothing more than Baphomet's basic attack — it had not used any skills whatsoever. And yet, with a single swipe of its claw, it had wiped out dozens of demons and reshaped the terrain. The sheer destruction was terrifying.
Before anyone could even react, Baphomet's other claw came sweeping down.
Boom!
Another batch of several dozen demons was eliminated. Among them, a few Lord-rank demons that had been charging forward were sent crashing back, grievously wounded.
In that moment, Baphomet moved through the battlefield as though no one else existed, crushing the incoming demons like ants. Although its enormous frame drew attacks from numerous demons, the strikes from Leader-rank demons only dealt two or three hundred points of damage. Even the more formidable Lord-rank demons could barely scrape a thousand points.
For Baphomet, with its staggering 324 million HP, this was nothing more than a tickle. Its combat recovery alone restored 3.24 million HP every five seconds. Moreover, the demons had no ranged attacks — at most they could launch mid-range strikes. Even though Baphomet was a towering target, only two or three hundred demons could attack it simultaneously. Even if Baphomet simply stood there without dodging or blocking, letting them hit it freely, they could never bring it down.
In the blink of an eye, Baphomet had already slaughtered several hundred demons, including over twenty Leader-rank ones and one Lord-rank demon.
Though the number of fallen demons was negligible against the army of over a hundred thousand, Yi Xiao Du Zang's expression was anything but pleasant. He had not expected the Zero Wing Guild to still hold a card like this.
He had originally anticipated that Zero Wing would summon a Holy Beast, which would have allowed him to send a Legendary demon to destroy the magic circle directly. But now that they had summoned a Legendary-rank creature outright, things had become far more complicated. After all, once a magic circle was activated, it could not be moved — but the player who summoned a creature could move freely afterward.
"Two of you Legendary evil beasts — block that demon! And the Legendary demon — go kill Black Flame! Let's see how Zero Wing plans to fight us now!" Yi Xiao Du Zang barked his orders in a cold voice.
Demons were the most efficient at dealing with players. Although Shi Feng would not be easy to kill, in front of a Legendary demon, he was nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
Immediately, two of the four Legendary evil beasts veered toward Baphomet, while the Legendary demon locked its gaze onto Shi Feng and charged straight at him.
But before the Legendary demon could even reach Shi Feng, a towering figure had already blocked its path — and that figure was none other than Baphomet.
Baphomet stood over thirty meters tall, while the Legendary demon was only four or five meters in height. It was as if a skyscraper had materialized before the demon, making it utterly impossible to slip past.
"You think you can block it?" Yi Xiao Du Zang sneered.
A Legendary demon was far less witless than an evil beast. Its combat capabilities far surpassed those of ordinary experts, and its strength dwarfed them by an enormous margin. It was practically an entirely different species compared to the High Grand Lord demon from before. Its only weakness was its relatively low HP — a mere 150 million. But against players, that was more than enough.
