Chapter 859: Chapter 656: Battle of the Contracted Creatures
Bastard!
Mai Zhuo’s eyes twitched wildly, as he was clearly beginning to feel tense. He immediately sent back all the flaming exotic beasts, and this time, he did not summon any more. Instead, he watched Long Yi silently, and Long Yi watched him back with a smile.
"Hehe, I understand now. It seems I underestimated you. I should have respected you."
The anger in Mai Zhuo’s tone was palpable. As a mage who relied on servants to fight, he had never been so passive, but it was clear that he had just hit a snag.
Mai Zhuo began casting again, while Little Zi and the others did not attack, they just watched quietly as Mai Zhuo gathered an even more massive force.
"Summon! Empress of the Exotic Beasts!"
The array unfolded, and from behind it, a thunderous roar sounded. Accompanied by heavy footsteps, an immense exotic beast burst through the array and charged out.
The instant the Giant Beast saw Little Zi, it almost immediately unleashed a Mental Impact while also casting Soul Shackles, attempting to imprison Little Zi on the spot. However, Little Zi was a Female Demon, and not just any Female Demon, but one of the highest rank. Mental Magic was her innate skill, so how could she be easily affected?
She easily broke free from the Soul Shackles, and directly launched a Mental Impact at the Empress, casting Soul Shackles on her. The power was in no way inferior to that of the Empress of the Exotic Beasts!
Of course, the attack had no effect, but being hit with the same move in return was an outright provocation!
The Empress of the Exotic Beasts flew into a rage, charging at Little Zi with claws brimming with exotic power, but Little Zi soared into the air as a colossally thick ice spear plummeted from the sky!
Boom!
The ice spear crashed onto the Empress’s back, but she merely stumbled slightly—the bone armor on her back had not been pierced. Yet, this blow was enough to completely enrage her.
She bellowed loudly, shooting exotic energy missiles from her throat at Little Zi. In response, Little Zi countered with mana missiles, detonating the energy missiles in mid-air. At the same time, a huge fireball fell from the sky. The Giant Beast Empress suddenly glowed, a beam of exotic energy pierced the fireball and blasted straight towards Little Zi. But in front of Little Zi, a tremendously large array snapped open, and a giant Halo spear descended from within, cleaving the energy beam and striking at the Empress!
This time, the Empress did not opt to counter the magic and instead evaded it on the spot, her numerous eyes fixed on Little Zi with an expression filled with caution and wariness.
Clearly, Little Zi’s power had exceeded the Empress’s expectations.
Not just the Empress, even Mai Zhuo had not anticipated that Little Zi’s magic proficiency could reach such a level!
What he did not know was that Little Zi had undergone several evolutions while in the Human Realm, naturally increasing her strength each time. But as an energy creature, she had always been suppressed by the rules of the Human Realm, so even Little Zi herself thought that was all the strength she had. However, here, without the restrictions, Little Zi’s power was unprecedentedly unleashed. And from the Mountain Giant, Little Zi had received a perpetually cycling power of the rock.
Layer upon layer of strength piled up, making Little Zi truly become a mage of peak strength!
However, in the next instant, the Sanctuary Halo rising from behind Little Zi completely blinded Mai Zhuo’s old eyes.
"It’s actually Sanctuary!"
Mai Zhuo exclaimed in shock!
Little Zi was just a Female Demon! A servant! And yet this servant possessed the power of a Sanctuary level! What did this mean? It meant that Long Yi’s power would necessarily be above Little Zi’s!
As soon as the Sanctuary Halo appeared, the entire audience gasped in surprise. From the beginning of Long Yi’s battles, they had watched him climb up from a small Arena to a middle-sized one; and from the peak of that, to a large Arena. Now, within this Arena, Long Yi had personally slain a Sanctuary Mage named Jenna. Then, he had begun a quest for revenge that spanned the corners of this Plane, snapping the necks of a bunch of old Mages.
It had been gradually becoming apparent since then that Long Yi’s strength might be far greater than everyone had thought. But at that time, people hadn’t realized he could be this powerful!
Now, having earned the title of King of the Stellar Realm Arena, it seemed like a natural progression. Then, facing a challenging Sanctuary Mage, Long Yi actually summoned a servant with the same Sanctuary power!
Has the world gone mad? Sanctuary isn’t worth anything anymore?
"No! You won’t defeat me!"
Mai Zhuo roared and directly hurled his mana at Little Zi, and in the sky, with the Sanctuary Halo surrounding her, Little Zi engaged Mai Zhuo in a fierce exchange.
The Empress of the Exotic Beasts took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack from the side, her beams of exotic energy continuously sweeping by, nearly grazing Little Zi several times.
Yet Long Yi just curled his lip and said,
"Since it’s a servant’s fight, isn’t it a bit shameless for you to take part personally? Alright, even though I know you have no shame, can’t you at least pretend to show some restraint?"
Mai Zhuo, however, snarled back with a savage look.
"Restraint? History in this world is written by the victor! Victory is the only thing that matters!"
