Edict: Intimidation!
This should be one of the most overwhelming spells against low-level creatures.
Because this spell, unless the will forms substantial mental power, directly determines the result of the saving throw based on the target’s life force; any creature with life points below 150 will be directly intimidated on the spot. The duration depends on the target’s life force, lasting at least 1-6 seconds, but if it’s an ordinary person, they might be frozen in place for more than half an hour.
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon is already severely injured, and its life force may not exceed 150 points.
For someone like Soren, even six seconds is enough for him to slice his enemy to pieces. Therefore, this spell is often used by priests against spellcasters; if luck is not on their side, a legendary wizard with insufficient innate life force might get intimidated on the spot, and the final outcome goes without saying.
Of course!
The best spell for priests to kill legendary wizards is not this one but the legendary – “Edict: Death”!
Only priests who have mastered deities of Slaughter, Death, and Life can learn this legendary divine technique, which can directly erase any creature with life force below 100 points.
No matter what the opponent is, whether it’s a legendary wizard or a giant dragon.
As long as they cannot resist this spell, and their remaining life force is not enough to reach 100 points, they will have all their life force drained and die in an instant!
To some extent, if Soren himself mastered the Divine Profession of Slaughter, he could bestow this divine technique upon legendary priests.
And he could cast it himself!
This spell is essentially the lowest level version of “Life and Death,” a quite deadly spell that could potentially turn the tide.
Six seconds.
The talent spells of the Flame Demon are terrifyingly powerful, and the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, controlled by “Edict: Intimidation,” has almost no chance of survival. So the Heart Stealer did not hesitate to abandon it. As Soren leaped into the air to slash at the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, the Heart Stealer hurriedly cast protective spells and attempted to control Soren’s mind again.
Blood splattered!
The flames on Soren grew fiercer as he continuously slaughtered multiple enemies, his biological level was about to increase.
If he hadn’t extracted the power of the Magma Dragon to condense into Dragon Crystals, he might have reached biological level 19. He could even directly evolve into a Flame Demon.
But!
As a man prudent in action, Soren naturally had his backup plan.
That was the dragon blood of the Magma Dragon; once he dealt with the Heart Stealer in front of him, he would immediately go collect the blood of the Magma Dragon, allowing him to transform back into Flame Demon form if necessary.
Otherwise.
How could he so quickly decide to use “Soul Extraction Technique” to reshape a Dragon Crystal?
—”Blasphemous Words!”
—”Mind Remote Control!”
Soren’s figure transformed into a ball of flames descending from the sky, and the Heart Stealer’s face turned pale in the mental control conflict. Every tentative attack made it feel as if its head were crashing against an iron plate; it could hardly believe a demon’s conviction could be so firm. This nearly solid willpower completely crushed its chances of controlling the enemy’s thoughts.
Without the ability to control the enemy, the Heart Stealer’s combat power lost over half!
However, there were other demon spectators nearby, so the Heart Stealer immediately switched targets and began attacking the surrounding audience, trying to grab a group of cannon fodder to tie up and exhaust Soren’s power.
Blood splattered!
A mid-level demon was controlled by the Heart Stealer and jumped down, only to be slain by Soren in an instant.
Another surge of demon power.
Soren was virtually assured of victory; the dragon blood from the Magma Dragon was still sufficient to maintain his Flame Demon form for some time.
Faced with the Heart Stealer’s desperate counterattack, Soren was not in a hurry to kill it.
Because he was farming experience!
The Heart Stealer couldn’t control Soren. Other spells were unlikely to defeat the powerful Flame Demon, so it attempted a war of attrition to exhaust Soren.
It was clear that its mind control ability was very powerful!
Those mid- and low-level demons had little chance of passing its mind control test, so in the blink of an eye, three mid- and low-level demons charged down, but were quickly slaughtered by Soren.
Demon power.
The Heart Stealer’s psychic energy was rapidly consumed. However, Soren’s accumulated power grew stronger and stronger.
Very good!
The demon power accumulated during this time was nearly comparable to what he gained from killing a mid-level devil in the Abyssal Blood War.
The Heart Stealer finally felt despair.
Due to its high racial talent, the Heart Stealer found it hard to master high-level spells after advancing to a spellcaster. While it became quite formidable after advancing to legendary spellcaster, without crossing the legendary threshold, the Heart Stealer still had to rely on its talent abilities to fight. This power of mind control was now completely crushed by Soren’s powerful will.
“It’s time to end this!”
Soren realized he had farmed enough experience and raised his hand, causing a fiery whip to appear in his palm, which then directly wrapped around the Heart Stealer before him.
The pathetic power of a spellcaster!
The Heart Stealer could hardly escape the control of the fiery whip; the terrifying flames burned on it, and the Gurenba Arena immediately echoed with its piercing screams.
—”Sword Intent: Execution!”
Accompanied by a spray of blood, the Heart Stealer’s hideous head was sent flying.
Soren glanced at the head that fell to the ground and directly stomped on it, smashing it to pieces. The Heart Stealer was one of his most disliked creatures; those that consumed the brains of other beings to enhance their own powers seldom garnered favor from others.
A line of data appeared before him:
“Biological Level increased to 19!……”
“Self-abilities improved!……Demon bloodline fusion mutation!……Effect of [Flame Body] enhanced!……Effect of class spell [Summon Demon] enhanced!……Effect of class spell [Dominate Demon] enhanced!……”
“[Fire Demon] elite form advanced!……Base attributes enhanced!……”
“Energy mutation!……”
“Class spell ability [Fireball Spell] usage increased to 5 times per day!……”
“Special Insight!……”
“Demon bloodline fusion mutation!……You have mastered the talent spell ability [Blasphemous Words]!……”
“Specialty Insight!……”
“Demon bloodline fusion mutation!……You have mastered the talent specialty [Weapon Specialization: Severing Blade]!……”
“Specialty Insight!……”
“Demon bloodline fusion mutation!……You have mastered the talent specialty [Mastery of Initiative]!……”
………………
Just a little more!
After killing the Heart Stealer before him, Soren found that he was very close to advancing to Flame Demon status; if necessary, he could directly extract the power of the Dragon Crystal, which would allow him to advance into a Flame Demon.
Dragon blood.
He needed to collect this dragon blood because even if he advanced to Flame Demon form, this dragon blood could provide him with extra power, giving him a portion of enhancements.
This dragon blood was like a power potion to him.
As long as he collected enough dragon blood, he could continue battling endlessly, like a warrior under the effects of giant strength potions and frenzy potions.
“Soren!”
“Soren!”
“Executioner—Soren!”
As the last enemy was slain by Soren, the demon spectators erupted into excited cheers. This thrilling Death Arena, although it inadvertently killed numerous viewers, immensely satisfied their chaotic nature. Undoubtedly, after this Death Arena, Soren’s reputation would soar, and nearby demons would soon know of a powerful ‘Executioner’ Flame Demon appearing at the Gurenba Arena.
However.
In the face of the cheers from the audience, Soren showed no interest; he directly lunged toward the corpse of the Magma Dragon and swung his longsword to cut open its abdomen.
This dragon was unlikely to be taken away, as the greedy nature of goblins would not allow it to be a trophy of Soren.
But!
If he merely collects some dragon blood, those goblins likely wouldn’t dare to say too much.
