Chapter 962 - 551: The Lord System That Can’t Take the Heat

Sparks exploded on its scorching body.

The mages all prioritized chanting high-tier magic.

In this situation, there’s no need to hold back.

The most important thing is to go all out whenever there’s a chance to strike.

Zong Shen and his group’s offensive surged like a rainbow, quickly pushing the atmosphere to a boiling point.

In their direction, the lava at the cracks beneath the Flame Demon Boss’s feet had already solidified.

It all turned into black lava rock.

This was caused by the water released earlier.

However, the lava only solidified on the surface; beneath it still bubbled and boiled.

Zong Shen wore a battle helmet, hiding any change in his expression.

What he could do now was let his warriors unleash their full strength.

Next, he had to wait until other lords gradually gathered here.

And then consider the situation as it unfolds.

Without the Frost Magic Gemstone as a trump card, quickly depleting the Flame Demon Boss’s Life Value became unrealistic.

Therefore, this time he appropriately adjusted his strategy.

The warriors commenced their attacks in their respective positions.

The ground mist shimmered, emitting heat.

Wolf Cavalry and Immortal Gun Cavalry patrolled the perimeters of the troops.

Constantly vigilant of the Flame Demon Boss and nearby lords’ movements.

It had been less than 10 minutes since the Flame Demon Boss appeared.

Only twenty to thirty lords had gathered around.

As time passed, more lords would arrive.

Eventually reaching a few thousand in number.

As the saying goes, "many ants can kill an elephant."

This round, Zong Shen truly intended to rely on other lords to wear down the Boss’s blood volume.

As the warriors began their assault,

Zong Shen also drew the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword.

Striding across the ashen soil, he quickly approached the Flame Demon Boss.

In other directions aside, at least on their side, after the deluge, the temperature near the Flame Demon Boss dropped significantly.

The residual heat wasn’t too high, allowing him to engage in close combat.

To be safe, Zong Shen didn’t send in the Wolf Cavalry and Immortal Gun Cavalry.

He didn’t want to incur casualties here.

Moreover, Zong Shen was quite confident in his own strength.

Not to mention, earlier he had fused the Heart of the Holy Spirit and Core of Chaos.

Now he possessed three transformation state skills sourced from himself.

Namely, Demon State, Holy Spirit State, and Light and Dark State.

This meant he could transform three times consecutively in a short time.

The strongest among them was the Light and Dark State formed by combining the Heart of the Holy Spirit and Demon’s Heart with the Core of Chaos.

In the Light and Dark State, he would simultaneously possess the dual power and traits of a demon and a holy spirit.

Imagine, Holy Light Damage with chaos attributes.

Just this trait was astounding enough.

Thus, Zong Shen didn’t worry about his safety.

His Agility Attribute wasn’t low, fully comparable to Tier Three or Four Scouts.

He covered the hundred-meter-plus distance in just a few seconds.

The ground was uneven, as the arrival of the Flame Demon Boss severely damaged the original terrain.

Luckily, Zong Shen was agile enough, making such minor obstacles negligible for him.

If he applied his current level of agility and returned to Earth to participate in the Olympics,

he would easily break world records.

But unfortunately, this was a fantasy world of swords and magic, vastly different from Earth.

He arrived at the foot of the Flame Demon Boss.

The elementalized feet were quite distinctive.

Because the tide had washed over, the scorching fire elements within its body calmed down quite a bit.

A black stone shell unexpectedly condensed on the surface.

The lava turned into a black rock base to stand on.

Zong Shen stood nearby, swinging the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword to strike it.

This strike didn’t carry any attribute gains, nor did it use any attack skills.

It was an entirely ordinary blow.

The purpose was simple: to test his own attack strength.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword hit the Flame Demon Boss.

Immediately, numerous tiny fragments of black volcanic rock shattered off.

A gap appeared on the Flame Demon Boss’s body.

[-271]

Simultaneously, a significant amount of damage appeared.

Meaning Zong Shen could easily obtain 27.1 Points with a simple slash.

This single-target output capacity was quite astonishing.

After this strike, Zong Shen halted.

Because the probing purpose of the slash was complete.

The Flame Demon Boss’s 65-point double resistance was as fragile as paper against his attacks.

Zong Shen understood what to do next. The real attack was about to begin.

He first used the Ring of Strength Demon (Red), with the attached enhancement skill Strength Amplification.

Additionally, he activated the Strength Demon Possession state.

Strength Amplification could increase his Strength Attribute by 20%.

Boosting his strength from 177 points to 212 points.

And the Strength Demon Possession could double his strength and Life Value.

Raising his Strength Attribute to 424 points.

Correspondingly, Zong Shen’s Life Value also changed.

From an initial 1698 points, after a series of gains, it became 5866 points!

This Life Value could almost rival a powerful Overlord-level beast.

Zong Shen waved his arms, feeling the surging power coursing through his body.

His Attributes now were almost at the strongest state, save for the three major transformations.

Of course, he had other enhancement skills yet to be fully utilized.

Such as King’s Banner, and Moon God’s Blessing.

He reserved these skills for critical moments to use on his warriors.

For now, dueling the Flame Demon Boss, this state was sufficient.

After all, the Flame Demon Boss wouldn’t retaliate.

Like a practice dummy.

Allowing Zong Shen to do as he pleased.

No better time to strike than now!
