Chapter 1779: Chapter 1779

The two Summoned Beasts, along with Du You’s alternating attacks, gradually weakened the power of the Elephant Venerable.

In the end, although their cooperation was still quite good, cracks began to appear in the red light defense on their bodies. Through these cracks, the poison from the Death Gorilla spread over, putting the opponent in a poisoned state.

Even if they could detoxify, it was useless because as long as the Death Gorilla was nearby, the poisoning would persist; just detoxified would be poisoned again. Having a poison source nearby is truly dangerous.

"I didn’t expect you wouldn’t run away even when it’s come to this. Are all Beastmen like you?" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

The Tiger People took a breath and looked at Du You, coldly saying, "I don’t know if others would run, but as a Great Elephant Knight, I would never run. Dying on the path of charge is our greatest honor."

Du You couldn’t quite understand this so-called honor, knowing that this guy was not an ordinary knight, but rather a high-ranking commander among the Beastmen, an extremely powerful pinnacle tier eight warrior. Apart from the Beastmen’s guardians, this guy is one of the strongest. It seems the Beastmen’s values are indeed different from humans.

"Since that’s the case, I shall fulfill your wish, letting you die before you’re completely weakened. If you have any remaining strength to erupt, bring it out, or you’ll have no chance."

Du You raised his hand, and five Energy-gathering Rings appeared, a powerful dark force began to condense rapidly.

Simultaneously, the two Summoned Beasts stopped their attacks and stepped back a few steps. Although Du You respected such warriors who fight to death without retreat, he couldn’t help but be on guard against such a guy.

The massive dark power quickly condensed, the feeling of danger gradually gathering. At this moment, even the Elephant Venerable felt an unprecedented danger, and all his strength was mobilized.

"So this is your true power, human Professional, indeed as dangerous as the legends say. No, I’ve met many human Professionals, you’re the most dangerous one."

"It’s an honor to be recognized by the Beastmen commander." Sensing the opponent also gathering strength, Du You smiled. He had never feared anyone in a full-frontal attack.

"Could I know your name? The next time we meet, I won’t lose to you."

Another time? It seems this guy has prepared his revival methods. Otherwise, he should know, before me, even his spirit couldn’t escape. But then, it is normal; those without revival means are the minority.

"Du You, my name is Du You, known as the Dark King on our side."

"Du You, the Dark King, huh, I see." Saying this, the Elephant Venerable closed his eyes, and the sitting Saber-Toothed Elephant did the same. The essence, energy, and spirit of both parties converged entirely onto the spear, which suddenly shot out without needing to be thrown, thrusting directly at Du You. Du You could feel the forces of both had perfectly merged.

Now there was no need for the two parties to cooperate, nor for the technique of simultaneously attacking with two powers. This fusion exerted even greater power. However, Du You’s Energy Gathering Magic Cannon had been condensing for five seconds.

With a thought, Du You shot out a beam of black light to instantly meet the opponent’s spear. The gap in attacks was too much; after a brief stalemate, the black light completely engulfed the spear, leaving nothing behind.

Then the black light continued downward, hitting the defenseless Elephant Venerable.

The Elephant Venerable’s lower chest was pierced directly, leaving a large hole, splitting the body in two. The black light continued downward, creating a large hole in the elephant below as well. The hit area was incredibly smooth, with everything inside vanished. At the moment of impact, Du You felt the life auras of the Elephant Venerable and his mount had disappeared.

But this wasn’t the end, the attack continued downward, hitting the ground, a bottomless pit emerged. The hole kept extending, who knows how far it descended, yet it showed no sign of stopping.

After some time passed, a wry smile appeared on Du You’s face. "Jeez, is the attack strength really this strong? Or is this world just too fragile?" Du You was slightly frustrated.

Clearly this is a tier eight world, did my Energy Gathering Magic Cannon, condensed for five seconds, really have such power? It actually penetrated to the earth’s core. Although it didn’t penetrate completely, the impact was certainly massive.

Du You felt that the world will was watching him now, or rather, it showed some aversion. Although it had no immediate effect, if he continued to perform such large-scale destructive acts, it would be troublesome.

A tier eight world, even though it couldn’t deal with him directly, at least could expel him.

Being punished by the world, how frustrating. It seems sometimes having an overwhelmingly powerful skill isn’t necessarily a good thing.

"Three seconds would have been enough, fooled by the guy’s conventional displays of attack."

Du You was somewhat dismayed. The guy, although going all-out, didn’t boost his attack strength to a terrifying extent as Du You had imagined. The Energy Gathering Magic Cannon’s first use after advancing, condensed for such a long time, Du You himself didn’t expect it to be this exaggerated.

A powerful skill is good, but not knowing its true strength might not be such a good thing.

"Wait, did that guy even burn his spirit?" Du You suddenly noticed the situation was different from what he thought. Knowing he couldn’t escape, the Elephant Venerable, along with his mount, even burned their spirits entirely.

If not for this, the force exerted would be even weaker. Is it that his strength is too powerful, or his understanding differs from others? Burning one’s spirit, for anyone tier seven and above, is a desperate measure.

In that case, they didn’t hope at all for their spirit fragments to escape.

Back at his home, surely this guy left spirit fragments, the mount as well. Just not sure what methods he prepared, how long will it take to restore their strength?

Whatever, why ponder so much? By the next meeting, I’ll surely have reached tier nine, and we’ll no longer be on the same level.

Du You descended, collecting the remaining bodies and the Law Crystals within them for safekeeping. With this, the resources for the sisters to replenish their Origin are complete, and the resources I need to perfect myself are almost ready.

"Sigh, upgrading to tier eight required so many resources, who knows how much it will need for tier nine. Hopefully not too much, otherwise it’d be unbearable."
