Chapter 252: Hellish Roar Evolves Again, Doomsday Judge

Before he even arrived, he saw a tall figure slowly rise from a massive boulder, wreathed in a dark red halo.

WHOOSH…

A light breeze swept past, and the figure suddenly vanished.

When it reappeared, it was already by Shen Xing’s side.

“Lord, I have successfully reached Level 16.” Hellish Roar bowed.

“Good. You leveled up quickly.”

Shen Xing was satisfied. He then took out three crystal-clear Dew Beads from his backpack. “Here, absorb these, and I’ll help you evolve again.”

Hellish Roar gazed at the Dew Beads in his hand, a light flashing in his beastly eyes. “Yes, Lord.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he solemnly took the Dew Beads, poured them into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed.

A few seconds later, waves of powerful energy surged from within the Beastman’s body.

VMM… VMM…

White light flashed repeatedly as his aura climbed steadily higher.

[Your Hero: Hellish Roar has reached Level 17!]

[Attributes gained from this level-up: Power +62, Spirit +38, Agility +71, Constitution +54]

[Your Hero: Hellish Roar has reached Level 18!]

[Your…]

After three consecutive level-up notifications, Hellish Roar had officially reached the max of Level 19, achieving the Grand Perfection state of the Peak of Junior High.

With his bat-like wings now folded, waves of heat rose from within his body as he stood quietly to the side, waiting.

Shen Xing didn’t make him wait. He immediately opened the talent panel to evolve him again.

[Use ‘Sacrificial Evolution’ to raise the Potential of Hero: Hellish Roar to Leader★?]

[This evolution requires sacrificing 500 Agility.]

…

“Yes.”

As he confirmed the choice, a massive pillar of red light descended from the sky, completely enveloping Hellish Roar.

Within the light, a tall figure’s bat-like wings unfurled as its entire body ignited with Hellfire, like a Demon God undergoing a baptism.

The evolution process lasted for a full two and a half minutes, during which the figure’s aura underwent an astonishing transformation.

When the red light dissipated, a notification flashed before Shen Xing’s eyes.

[Ding! Your Hero: Hellish Roar’s Potential has been raised to Leader★!]

[Class: Hell Vanguard → Doomsday Judge]

[Breakthrough Bonus: All Attributes +45%, Agility +500!]

[Hero Skills: Desperate Melee and Beastman Battle Soul effects have been enhanced.]

[Exclusive Leader Skill Unlocked: Incarnation: Doomsday Judge!]

…

‘Oh? He advanced from Hell Vanguard to Doomsday Judge?’

Shen Xing raised an eyebrow. This advancement path was beyond his expectations.

Then again, it made sense. Ever since Hellish Roar had fused with the Blood of an Inferior Demon, his evolutionary path had become unpredictable.

No one knew to what heights this Beastman would ultimately ascend, or what kind of being he would evolve into.

Hellish Roar had forged a path of his own.

As usual, he opened the new skill’s description to take a look.

[Incarnation: Doomsday Judge]

[Skill Introduction: Fully activates the Demon Power within the user’s bloodline, replacing the ‘Half-Demonization’ skill. The user completely transforms into a new form—the Doomsday Judge!]

[Skill Effect: During the transformation, Hellish Roar’s size doubles, and he gains an additional 50% to his Four-dimensional Attributes. In addition, he unlocks three exclusive skills: ‘Judgement War Axe,’ ‘Grip of Damnation,’ and ‘Doomsday Approaches’. Duration: 300 seconds. Cooldown: 3 hours.]

(Note: If Hellish Roar suffers a fatal attack during his transformation, he will not die instantly. Instead, the Doomsday Judge form will be canceled.)

…

‘So it’s a transformation skill. Not only does it provide an extra 50% to his attributes, but it also unlocks three exclusive skills.’

‘More importantly, taking a fatal hit during the transformation won’t kill him; he’ll just revert to his normal form. That’s like having an extra life!’

Shen Xing analyzed the skill, marveling at its power.

It seemed as though Hellish Roar had only unlocked a single Leader-level Skill this time, one fewer than Reina.

In reality, however, this power-up was far more terrifying.

‘Good. Let’s see just how powerful these three skills, usable only in his Transformation Form, really are.’

Shen Xing opened the skill details and looked them over.

[Judgement War Axe: The weapon is imbued with the power of doomsday’s judgment, doubling its size and igniting with black Doomsday Fire. Each attack becomes a fan-shaped area-of-effect attack to the front, applying a 30% Armor Piercing effect and dealing an additional 40% damage to targets above 70% health.]

…

[Grip of Damnation: Select a single target and unleash a giant, black demonic claw that drags it underground, dealing massive damage equal to (245% of Attack Power). If the target dies from this attack, the overkill damage is dealt in full to all other enemies within a 100-meter radius. Cooldown: 35 seconds.]

…

[Doomsday Approaches: Fully unleash the Power of Doomsday from within, announcing that the end has truly come. Select an area 1000 meters in diameter ahead, turning the land into a scorched, cracking hellscape. Over the next 3 seconds, a massive number of Doomsday Flame Pillars (Agility x 1 = 2038 pillars) will erupt from the fissures, dealing saturation damage to all enemies in the area. Can only be used once per transformation.]

…

‘These three skills are so strong!’

‘It has armor piercing, crowd control, area-of-effect damage, and a final ultimate to clear the field. So well-rounded.’

Shen Xing sighed in admiration.

Before this, many of the skills and talents Hellish Roar had unlocked were buffs for allied Beastmen, causing their overall combat power to soar.

This breakthrough to the Leader level, however, primarily boosted his personal combat power, which was an excellent development.

He glanced at the attributes.
