Chapter 395: Chapter 395

"Aren’t lions supposed to be renowned for their strength? How can they be so fast?" Du You is puzzled, fully occupied with fending off attacks.

He can’t keep up with Barre’s speed and is constantly on the defensive. If it weren’t for his powerful Spiritual Lock and the added benefits of his high-level Spiritual Perception, he wouldn’t even stand a chance at defending himself.

His Level 9 Spiritual Lock has effectively turned a radius of nine meters around Du You into a zone of absolute control. He can react to anyone who enters it, allowing him to keep pace with his Shield Spell.

However, spells that require time to hit are simply unable to touch the enemy.

The difference in level means Barre is simply too fast. Unbeknownst to Du You, Barre is equally shocked.

Ever since his sudden breakthrough, he was confident he was invincible in the Northern Zone. But to his surprise, this human Mage can actually hold him off. Weren’t Mages supposed to be slow at casting spells but make up for it with mighty damage?

Always in the past, Mages have been doomed once a Warrior gets close. So how can he still cast spells so quickly to block his attacks?

Although he doesn’t understand what’s going, Barre has no option but to maintain his speed by expending a lot of Dou Qi, as slowing down could mean the end for him.

While blocking, Du You suddenly seizes the opportunity to cast a Mucus Swamp on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Du You realizes his Mucus Swamp is useless. The solid ground exploded, shattering the mucus and revealing a tough surface, with the imprint of a lion’s foot.

The effect of the mucus seems to be almost useless against a real master. Inadvertently, his Mucus Swamp almost became a tool for clearing out minor beasts, an ironic predicament.

"Damn it, what should I do now? This is turning into a war of attrition," he cursed.

If it were a one-on-one duel, Du You wouldn’t worry about attrition. His Magic Power was unmatched, and he was confident he could outlast any opponent.

However, he was currently in the heart of the beastman city, facing the city’s ruler. Any moment, others could join to lend a hand. If another enemy joins the fray, he was doomed to fail.

Currently, fending off Barre’s attacks has allowed Du You to exert all his strength. He didn’t even have an opportunity to summon his Summoned Creatures.

Besides, even if he were to summon them, they’ll probably be wiped out instantly. "What other options do I have? Wait, the Cursed Crow King, come!" Suddenly, Du You senses the presence of the Cursed Crow King.

The Curse Aura, which the Cursed Crow King always had at the ready, finally activated under Du You’s command.

As the Curse of Weakness spreads with the Curse Aura, Barre suddenly feels weakness setting in. The curse’s power isn’t fully manifested due to the level gap, but it’s enough to affect Barre’s speed.

With this slight repression, Du You finally takes note of Barre’s movements. "Well played!" Fortunate to have this loophole, Du You managed to do something else for the first time.

Once again blocking Barre’s attack, taking advantage of him not launching his next move, Du You hastens to summon the Death Scorpion. "Quick, Death Raid," Du You immediately commands.

Within an instant, Du You fends off the second attack.

The poor Death Scorpion, freshly summoned after its Death Raid revival, and again, the same attack had been ordered. Yet without a single complaint, the Death Scorpion turns black as coal instantly.

The 10-star Death Scorpion’s fast and mutual destruction skill is more than meets the eye.

Even Barre, who always left Du You struggling to keep up, is no match for the Death Scorpion’s speed. With wide-eyed disbelief, Barre watches the scorpion, faster than himself, crawl onto him.

A sharp sting pierces his tough Dou Qi defense effortlessly.

The potent poison spreads rapidly, causing Barre, who was ready to launch his all-out attack, to feel his strength desert him in an instant. His muscles visibly wither due to the terrifying toxicity.

"Damn it, it’s that poison." Barre barely manages to utter these words before he draws his last breath.

"What a formidable existence, having such combat power at only Level 12. I must have been conceited." Du You pants heavily. It’s hard to believe that a world of a mere first tier could cultivate such a character.

With such power, even an equally leveled Giant Beast would probably struggle against him.

Du You quickly resumes his actions while lamenting for the Death Scorpion’s demise. He couldn’t afford to leave the grain store unattended.

Walking forward, Du You releases waves of Mucus Thief. With the accompaniment of fire, a raging blaze ensues.

"What’s that big fire over there? Oh no, that’s the grain warehouse!" Finally, a beastman senses something amiss. A fire in the grain stores was no small matter—it threatened the entire beastman city.

A group of beastmen frantically rush towards the fire. But they’re immediately poisoned upon arriving.

Unfortunately, the priests are elsewhere, and without any antidote or priest to cure the poison, these beastmen are as good as dead. Du You is a Spellcaster with incredibly fast casting speed.

While the grain warehouse might seem big, in just less than five minutes under Du You’s assault, it had been scorched several times over, leaving almost nothing behind.

Even the leftover bits are corroded by the mucus and unfit for consumption. Anyone who consumes it would at least suffer from diarrhea, if they’re lucky. The norm would be death by poisoning. Orıginal content can be found at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮※𝓷𝓮𝓽

"With the death of the beastman city ruler and the obliteration of the grain store, the beastman city is on the brink of destruction."

Opening his panel, Du You sees the completed tasks column. His star rating demotion is blinking, ready to disappear at any moment. His adventurous risk had paid off.

"Another round of fire before leaving, let’s see what you guys have got."

Unable to leave midway during a battle, Du You decides to keep fighting. The city still housed some of the higher-ranking beastmen and priests. His boarman disguise had been dispelled during the previous fight.

With that, there was no point in hiding anymore. Du You boldly takes the center stage, summoning the Purple Lighting Golden Eagle and the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs. The Curse Aura of the Cursed Crow King released, Du You rides on the Heavenly Disaster Demonic Dogs, beginning his overt slaughter.

"Haha, a beastman priest, scattered of all places. Priests without their guards are nothing but trash." Shortly into his journey, Du You spots a priest standing on a rock, looking helplessly at his surroundings.
