Although Shi Feng possessed exceptional survivability, it was impossible for him to hold out for long against a level 50 alien High-ranking Lord. The gap in strength was simply too vast.
"I've got no choice. I'll have to use it now." With a hint of reluctance, Shi Feng pulled an Ice Grenade from his bag.
The moment Shi Feng produced the Ice Grenade, the Mechanical Slaughterer's massive body froze in place. Its crimson-glowing eyes locked onto the grenade in Shi Feng's hand.
The Mechanical Slaughterer had a very deep impression of the Ice Grenade.
After all, Shi Feng had used it to freeze him for a considerable period of time, leaving him completely unable to even counterattack.
"Ha, he actually remembers." Shi Feng couldn't help but smile at the Mechanical Slaughterer's reaction.
However, he didn't expect the Ice Grenade to keep the Mechanical Slaughterer wary for long. Seizing on the creature's momentary hesitation, Shi Feng took a step forward and charged straight toward Dark Star's magic users.
"Damn it, he's coming! All magic users, focus fire on him! Don't let him get close!" Wei Wo Du Kuang roared.
Spell after spell rained down.
Ice Arrows, Frozen Spheres, Ice Walls, Mind Bind—every crowd-control skill they had was unleashed.
Behind Shi Feng, the Mechanical Slaughterer had already recovered and flung its serrated greatsword directly at him.
The greatsword shot forward with a deafening boom. The air in its path seemed to be pierced instantaneously, its speed so extreme that dodging was nearly impossible.
On one side, a barrage of player magic. On the other, the Mechanical Slaughterer's hurtling greatsword.
Shi Feng didn't dare take any chances. He immediately activated Phantom Kill. A clone materialized ten yards from his main body. The instant the serrated greatsword was about to pierce through him, he used Swap at the last possible moment, instantly trading positions with the clone.
The clone stood no chance against the greatsword. It was obliterated in an instant.
But the greatsword didn't stop. It continued straight into the crowd of Dark Star's magic users.
The Dark Star members hadn't even had time to react before the serrated greatsword smashed into their midst. The floor of the Teleportation Hall was blasted apart, sending shockwaves rippling outward. A single shockwave was enough to wipe out every player within a thirty-yard radius, once again demonstrating the terrifying power of an aberration-type monster.
Over in the corner, Jian Ying and Ban Jiu watched in stunned silence.
"Brother Jian Ying, are all High-ranking Lords this strong?" Ban Jiu stared at the Mechanical Slaughterer's devastating power, utterly shaken.
"Not that I know of. I've never seen a High-ranking Lord this formidable. It seems Guild Master Black Flame's earlier advice to leave quickly wasn't without reason." Jian Ying gazed at Shi Feng in the distance, a trace of admiration crossing his face.
Although the Mechanical Slaughterer's combat strength was truly terrifying, harnessing that kind of power for one's own use required extraordinary skill. The spatial awareness, the meticulous evasion techniques—these were exactly what Jian Ying aspired to master.
"If I can join Zero Wing… could I learn more of his techniques?" The thought suddenly sparked in Jian Ying's mind, and his resolve to pass Zero Wing's recruitment strengthened even further.
Jian Ying and Ban Jiu were deeply impressed, but on the other side, Wei Wo Du Kuang was about to cough up blood.
That single strike from the Mechanical Slaughterer had killed over a hundred of Dark Star's Elites.
"Damn you, Black Flame! Hasn't anyone else arrived yet?" Wei Wo Du Kuang bellowed.
"Guild Master, the closest guild members are roughly four thousand strong and already on their way. Given a bit more time, we can easily have ten thousand," a subordinate reported from nearby.
