Chapter 355 The Wheels of History Roll Onward
The information fed back from the Magus Card made Dark understand.
Originally, this great axe was the greatest reliance of the Dual-headed Demonic Man!
This great axe could absorb life force and convert it into power.
While Diuxi’s strength surged by 1000 points, its life force—Mana—was rapidly draining away.
And the reason it could still act externally at this time was due to Dark’s Mana infusion, combined with the depletion of the great axe, which only exacerbated the situation.
Dark wanted to transmit his own Mana to it, but with the Magus summoned out, the rate of remote Mana infusion through the Magus Card had limits.
Diuxi was a Four-star Magus, with a normal Mana consumption of 4 Mana per second. The limit for remote Mana infusion was 8 Mana per second, twice the normal consumption.
Moreover, the Magus must ensure the stability of Mana transmission, and the Magus’s own Mana movement should not be too intense, or the Mana transmission would be greatly reduced.
In other words, during the battle, the Mana support Dark could provide was extremely limited.
Otherwise, he would be very willing to bear the Mana consumption of this great axe.
During Diuxi’s rush toward the Dual-headed Demonic Man, he quickly calculated.
The great axe absorbed roughly 10 Mana per second.
With Diuxi’s Mana at 1500+500 points, this meant it could only maintain this state for about two minutes and twenty seconds under normal circumstances.
Two minutes and twenty seconds, just twenty seconds more than the three-minute limit of some glowing star people.
If it received even one or two attacks during the battle, the duration would be even shorter.
But these were not reasons enough to stop Diuxi!
…
Diuxi’s speed kept increasing.
The Sacred Ring on its tail emitted white light, pulling out a pure white trail of light as it ran, creating an aesthetic that was completely opposite to the bloodthirsty great axe.
The Dual-headed Demonic Man had just risen halfway when Diuxi’s agile figure suddenly entered its vision.
“Ha!”
A loud shout was heard.
Diuxi almost replicated the Dual-headed Demonic Man’s actions, leaping high and then using the force of descent to suddenly slash down with the great axe!
“Roar!”
The lion head of the Dual-headed Demonic Man let out a sudden roar. The bull head, reminded by this, forcibly twisted its body, lifting its thick right arm to block, gripping the axe blade with iron-like fingers.
But Diuxi’s downward strike was so powerful that it forced the right arm down, cutting a vicious gash in the palm!
The Dual-headed Demonic Man was forced to release its grip.
Diuxi took advantage of this moment to retrieve the great axe, using one foot as a pivot point, and with a sudden spin, amplified the force and struck again at the ankle of the Dual-headed Demonic Man!
“Ao!”
The Dual-headed Demonic Man let out two shrill cries.
Its right ankle was nearly severed!
Tendons snapped, blood flowed profusely.
“Cat Eye!”
The sudden command made Diuxi widen its eyes, and red beams of light spun in its eyes, instantly locking onto the bull head’s fierce gaze.
Talen, the bull head, was already in a rage, bloodlust filling its mind.
Gazing at it with the “Cat Eye,” its ferocity was fully aroused, the blood-red light in its eyes darkening.
[Cat Eye: Releases light from the eyes, causing confusion and has a chance to attack itself.]
The mechanism of “Cat Eye” successfully triggered confusion.
Talen suddenly turned its head and bit the left lion head, Leon.
Though Leon sensed something amiss, how could it dodge the same shoulder?
Blood appeared.
Talen bit into Leon’s right ear, tearing it off with a sharp “scream.”
“Aoow!”
In the cry.
Leon’s beastly nature was fully unleashed, even its usually calm gaze turning bloodshot.
The Dual-headed Demonic Man gradually lost its rationality.
…
Relying on the suppression of “Cat Eye.”
Diuxi gained precious breathing room.
It focused its eyes, seizing the opportunity before the Dual-headed Demonic Man recovered, and swung the great axe once more!
But despite the lion head being enraged, it still reacted.
It endured Talen’s biting, twisting its waist and manipulating its thick arms into fists, sweeping the right arm horizontally to push Diuxi away, while the left arm became a massive hammer, smashing down from above!
Though this blow did not hit Diuxi, the impact wave created upon landing pushed Diuxi further away!
“Roar!”
In the roar.
The Dual-headed Demonic Man finally stood up again.
Even though its momentum was broken, its ferocity remained undiminished.
And the wound on its right ankle quickly healed amidst the blood mist.
Given a little time, it could fully recover, but Diuxi wasn’t fighting alone!
Or rather, Dark Demon wasn’t fighting alone!
Beasts like the black cat with alien features and the bone snake with beautiful patterns on its neck had silently approached.
“Skeleton Beauty Snake, Soul of the Beautiful Woman!”
“The Sphinx Cat, Step on the Shadow!”
The soul of the beautiful woman emerged from the neck folds of the Skeleton Beauty Snake and drifted toward the Dual-headed Demonic Man, piercing through its body and making it stiffen.
The Sphinx Cat silently appeared behind the Dual-headed Demonic Man, stepping on its shadow.
Then…
The Golden Beast, bearing golden wings (Gold Coins Beetle), descended from the sky, flying over the Dual-headed Demonic Man’s head, with two golden arrows shooting out from its wings, aimed directly at the bull head’s eyes!
With the Dual-headed Demonic Man’s reaction, these golden arrows should not have hit.
But the bull head was in a chaotic state and was held in place by the shadow stepping, not moving at all.
At the critical moment, the lion head, having had an ear bitten off, retaliated with gratitude, breaking free from the shadow step’s restriction and slamming into the bull head, causing the two golden arrows to graze its ear.
Even so, these golden arrows undoubtedly drew the lion head’s attention.
After Diuxi gained sufficient buffer time, it recharged.
It lightly stepped and leaped, landing on the palm of the Bear Spirit!
Maintaining “Bear Strength,” the Bear Spirit charged forward like a chariot.
Its massive body fiercely collided with the Dual-headed Demonic Man’s abdomen, no less fierce than the Dual-headed Demonic Man.
Diuxi stood on the Bear Spirit’s palm, raising the great axe again, and when the Bear Spirit collided with the Dual-headed Demonic Man, it suddenly stepped, driving its full strength into a horizontal slash!
“Sss—”
Hot blood splattered.
The Dual-headed Demonic Man was split open by Diuxi’s axe.
Blood stained the great axe, instantly absorbed.
Lost.
Deoxys felt its right arm becoming heavier, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
It wasn’t until the two potions exploded above its head, spilling mana that seeped into its skin, that it regained some strength.
Dark had clearly used two “Energy Potions” in succession. He knew that the 400 points of mana could only extend Deoxys’s support by a little over half a minute.
A sense of urgency appeared on his face, one he had only felt during formal duels. At the same time, excitement flashed in his eyes.
Three seconds later…
“In the name of Dark DiMont, Mana Summoning — Trash Slime!”
“In the name of Dark DiMont, Mana Summoning — Wrestler Eagle…”
“In the name of Dark DiMont, Sacrificial Summon — Big Milk Jar!”
…
When the pink, adorable dairy cow appeared at his feet, more golems rushed past it, joining the battle.
Clearly, with Dark leading and Sarah and the others joining in, the young magi also regained their spirit.
Even though their golems might not contribute much to this boss fight.
But participating appropriately would bring them mental benefits.
Dark placed his hand on Big Milk Jar’s head, gently stroking its smooth fur as he whispered, “Big Milk Jar, become round!”
Facing a boss with extremely high HP and mana, relying solely on Deoxys for three minutes was insufficient to secure victory.
Ditto’s mana deficiency would be amplified at this moment.
Only Big Milk Jar could turn the tide!
“Moo—”
Big Milk Jar rubbed against Dark’s palm, then produced a bottle of “milk” by rubbing its hooves together.
After Dark took the milk, it turned serious and used “become round”!
Crouched into a ball, Big Milk Jar’s body surface glowed with metallic luster, doubling its defense.
“Very good, start rolling!”
Big Milk Jar started to roll immediately, gradually accelerating from slow to fast.
The closer it got to the dual-headed demonic man, the faster it rolled.
…
At this moment…
Sphinx Cat had broken free from the shadow step.
Skeleton Beauty Snake’s seductive soul still had some effect, but its restriction on the dual-headed demonic man was weakening.
Deoxys’s “cat eye” confusion effect had long since disappeared.
The dual-headed demonic man tightly covered its abdominal wound, roaring angrily with both heads.
“Bang!”
With just one sweep of its right arm, it knocked away all the golems, including Diana’s bear spirit!
Despite losing the bloodthirsty great axe, it seemed to have a devastating skill that increased its strength. Each punch from its right arm was like a thousand jin, smashing golems into fragments.
If the bear spirit didn’t have significant physical immunity, it too would have been dispersed by mana.
“Meow!”
Regaining its composure, Deoxys leaped off the bear spirit’s back, accelerating and charging again.
This time, when it swung the great axe downward, the minotaur suddenly raised its head, blocking the axe with its horns, suspending it in mid-air!
“The same move can only be used once against a demonic man.”
Lion Head’s expression was grim, with blood flowing from its ear after being bitten, making it look even more terrifying.
The young magi suddenly realized the second-tier boss could speak, just as Big Milk Jar collided heavily with the dual-headed demonic man’s calf.
A weak attack that barely grazed it, making the dual-headed demonic man pay no attention.
Its focus remained on Deoxys.
Or rather, on the great axe in Deoxys’s hand!
“It’s time to return to me!”
The dual-headed demonic man raised its hand to grab the axe handle.
“Hiss—”
A chilling aura swept through.
The seductive soul pierced through its body again, causing it to freeze momentarily.
But its lion head roared again, regaining control.
A deadly skill from a three-star golem had minimal impact on a six-star dual-headed demonic man.
But Deoxys seized the opportunity, kicking the minotaur and using the recoil to fly back.
“Bear Spirit!”
The bear spirit caught it immediately.
This sudden change enraged the dual-headed demonic man, who thought it had almost reached the axe.
Its Achilles tendon had already healed, so it prepared to charge forward.
But “bang,” Big Milk Jar rolled into its heel!
Though the force was still small, it was now impossible to ignore.
The dual-headed demonic man turned to catch it, but suddenly saw a golden treasure chest.
Magic Card? Golden Treasure Chest!
Greed for wealth filled the dual-headed demonic man’s eyes.
It instinctively reached out, but the illusion shattered instantly.
The dual-headed demonic man quickly broke free from the “Golden Treasure Chest” allure.
By then, Big Milk Jar had already rolled away.
Lion Head decisively abandoned Big Milk Jar and continued charging toward the bear spirit and Deoxys.
Where there is a person, there is an axe.
Losing a weapon is the greatest shame for a warrior.
…
On the bear spirit’s back,
Reluctantly, Meow passed the “milk” to Deoxys.
Deoxys immediately rejoiced and drank it down!
Instantly, its nearly depleted mana recovered by half.
Enough to sustain intense activity for another minute.
So it hesitated no longer, raising the great axe again, bursting with burning combat will, charging straight at the dual-headed demonic man.
…
Without the great axe, the dual-headed demonic man relied solely on its own strength, already at a disadvantage against Deoxys.
Yet, its seemingly mad lion head still harbored calmness.
When Deoxys lunged again, the minotaur used both arms to counterattack.
The lion head roared fiercely during close combat!
Ultimate Skill? Beast King Roar!
“Roar!”
This roar was sudden.
Not used when it was thrown back earlier, nor when its abdomen was cut open.
It waited until this moment.
Deoxys, unprepared, endured this terrifying roar.
Its tiny body flew backward like a kite with severed strings.
But as it flew away, it still clung tightly to the great axe, only releasing it when its mana was depleted, throwing it toward the door.
The great axe sliced through the air, falling in an arc.
“Half-Dragon!”
Teddy Dolong’s shout echoed through the hall.
A half-dragon golem suddenly leaped up, grabbing the flying great axe with its scaly claws.
“It’s finally my turn!”
Dolong’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
—
[Card Name: Half-Dragon]
[Type: Elemental Card]
【Level: ???】
【Race: Dragonkin】
【Attribute: Dragon】
【Mana: 1400】
【Attack: 1400】
【Defense: 1300】
【Ultimate Skills: Dragon Scale Armor, Dragon Bloodline】
…
Renowned for its strength, the dragonkin.
Not inferior at all to the Gigant as a three-star overlord.
This is Tudor’s latest creation of a mana spirit—the half-dragon!
A humanoid with a dragon head, covered in dragon scales, and sporting a short dragon tail.
Its ultimate skill “Dragon Scale Armor” is a passive skill, meaning the dragon scales covering its body like armor.
The skill-based dragon scales guarantee a significant increase in defense, adding 300 points.
Thus, the actual defense value of this half-dragon reaches 1600 points!
Already surpassing the limit of three stars.
The other ultimate skill, “Dragon Bloodline,” can be activated actively, allowing it to grow wings, extend its tail, and activate its dragon lineage.
When “Dragon Bloodline” is activated, the stats of the half-dragon will increase, and it will gain some mana recovery ability.
Although this recovery isn’t enough to offset the damage from the giant axe.
But it undoubtedly makes it more enduring.
Under Tudor’s command, the half-dragon raised the giant axe and charged forward.
It activated “Dragon Bloodline” during the charge, causing its speed to suddenly spike.
The dual-headed demonic man, in a boiling rage, abandoned the invincible giant bear and swung its right arm, punching the giant axe wielded by the half-dragon!
“Bang!”
There was a clear disparity in power at that moment.
Even with the giant axe, the attack of the half-dragon only reached 2400 points, far below the minimum base power of 3000 points from the dual-headed demonic man.
The giant axe was fiercely smashed to the ground.
“Half-dragon!”
Tudor’s cry echoed.
But as the giant axe fell, the dual-headed demonic man grabbed the half-dragon’s shoulder, threw it up, and then slammed it down with force.
“Bang!”
In one massive sound, the half-dragon vanished in a burst of mana.
And the dark red bloodthirsty giant axe finally landed beside the dual-headed demonic man.
“It ends now.”
After a series of events.
The ferocity of the minotaur Talon receded, and the dignity of the lion head Leon took precedence, gaining control of the body.
It manipulated the body, bending down to grab the axe handle.
“Grrrr!”
As it bent down, the third big milk jar rolled in from behind.
The dual-headed demonic man’s eyes flashed; in the instant it grabbed the axe handle, it quickly turned around, swinging the axe in a semi-circle, lightning-fast, aiming at the big milk jar rolling in from behind!
The momentum of the big milk jar became stronger with each roll.
Each increase was more noticeable.
Just by pausing to think, one could sense the hidden danger.
Unlike the minotaur Talon, the lion head Leon did not fall for the killing desire; it analyzed the danger and chose to cut it off midway!
Yet, in the instant it turned to swing the axe, its expression suddenly changed drastically, feeling weak all over, the force in its swing weakened by half!
Even though the axe hit the rolling big milk jar, it couldn’t stop it; instead, it helped the big milk jar change direction!
The big milk jar successfully completed its third roll, immediately spinning like a yo-yo.
The dual-headed demonic man recovered its strength after that moment.
Its fingers tightened abruptly, lifting the giant axe, and its gaze shifted to the nearest human.
The golden-haired youth stood calmly, now accompanied by two mana spirits.
One was a three-star mana spirit—Huhu.
The other was a mana spirit upgraded to two stars—Ibut.
The “Arrogance II? New” that promoted Ibut to two stars had cooled down after over an hour and returned to a usable state.
…
When the dual-headed demonic man noticed him, it inexplicably shivered.
The lion head Leon finally realized where the core of these unexpected guests lay—the greatest threat!
“Moo!”
The minotaur Talon, regaining the bloodthirsty giant axe, felt the surge of killing intent again.
Without hesitation, it rushed toward Dark Demon, raising the giant axe, determined to turn him into minced meat!
But a flash of light revealed a pitch-black sphere before Dark.
“Mobius Worm, please help.”
Rose held her hands to her heart, praying forcefully.
Ultimate Skill? Mobius Ring!
The seven-colored halo that bloomed from the black sphere spread outward, forming a vast field that encompassed the dual-headed demonic man.
When the dual-headed demonic man swung its axe, it felt like plunging into mud, unable to advance.
Clearly, the impact force when it struck was fully absorbed.
And above the “Mobius Worm,” a “1” appeared silently.
…
The ultimate skill of the “Mobius Worm”—”Mobius Ring” has an interesting feature.
Any force generated within the field created by the “Mobius Ring” is absorbed and transformed.
Even if one tries to leave, they must pass through the field again.
Rather than being a defensive skill, it’s more of a control skill.
The dual-headed demonic man was completely controlled within the field, moving as slowly as a snail.
In such a situation, the big milk jar rolled in a circle and came rolling back!
The fourth roll!
During the “round” state, the fourth roll.
The basic power of the “Roll” ultimate skill, which is only 30, had risen to 480!
With the big milk jar’s attack power of 1000 points, using an ultimate skill with a power of 480.
This is roughly equivalent to the twice the power of a demon beast using Death Claw with an attack power of about 2000 points!
Or equivalent to the power of a dual-headed demonic man using a charged strike with an attack power of over 4000!
…
When the roll came, strong winds wrapped around the big milk jar, making it spin like a windmill.
Soon, it entered the range of the “Mobius Ring” field.
Almost instantly, the “1” above the “Mobius Worm” jumped to “2.”
Then “3,” “4”…
Each jump of the number emitted a sound like pressing a piano key.
It was clearly visible that the dual-headed demonic man was exerting force.
“Cover your ears!”
Dark suddenly remembered the sound wave attack in the hidden space and loudly ordered.
The young magi, already tense, instinctively covered their ears.
Then, when the big milk jar finally collided with the dual-headed demonic man and bounced back.
The “4” above the “Mobius Worm” directly jumped to “5”…
