Chapter 571: Field Judgment

The skill 【Maw of the Abyss】 is extremely powerful, even belonging to the cosmic being the Abyssal Devourer.

Of course, there is some sensitivity to it.

But Luo De had already used it in battle against Duke Asmodeus, and even bards had described it as if they had witnessed it firsthand.

He naturally had no reason to hide it anymore.

He looked at the dozen or so mages who stared at him as if they'd seen a ghost.

Having tested the battlefield-dominating spell formation enough, Luo De no longer held back.

Veins of hellish magma spread across his muscular body, converging into a high-intensity spiritual glow.

He slammed his legs down with explosive force!

Added to that was the absurd repulsion of +38 【Repulsion Shu 】!

【Repulsion Shu 】 had been used frequently and was relatively low-tier, so his accumulated proficiency easily reached the high level of 38.

Boom!

The ground instantly exploded into a massive circular crater.

His entire body shot forward like a cannonball, not even needing to swing his sword.

The dome's defensive barrier shattered like paper, offering not the slightest resistance before being ripped open into a gaping hole.

Puff—

Two mages happened to be directly in Luo De's path of collision.

They couldn't dodge in time and were instantly crushed into clouds of blood mist, splattering down from midair with a splatter-splatter sound.

Luo De's face was covered in blood.

He swung his black-gold longsword through empty air.

Amid piercing shrieks, the wet, crisp sounds of flesh being cleanly severed and bodies collapsing followed one after another.

In the brutal, bloody scene,

The skill 【Cruel Mark】 drew forth streams of pain and battle ecstasy from the bloodstains, continuously feeding them into Luo De's body.

【Infinite Strength: 20% → 26%】

The amplified strength increased.

"Hmm?"

Luo De noticed this.

And he realized the 【Cruel Mark】 had pressed even closer to his body.

"Hmph, the more people I kill, the stronger 【Infinite Strength】 becomes?"

But at the same time, the mark's power also grows stronger.

"So what?"

The force of 【Sky's Will】 surged violently.

It pushed the mark back to its previous distance.

Meanwhile, ahead,

The mages were thrown into instant chaos.

The scattered spell formation meant each had to fight alone.

Then they discovered no spell could block Luo De's single strike.

Some fled, others resisted, and those who used their last cards exhausted every trick.

"The mountain is sealed!! Quickly activate the ritual, damn it!"

"Where's the ritual control stone?! Who has it?!"

"Stop looking, you idiots! Flee first! He's a warrior—keep your distance!"

Luo De's gaze pierced through the rain of falling flesh and the chaotic mages, locking onto Shemus not far away.

He stretched his mouth into a cruel grin.

"Let's begin."

Shemus's eye twitched; he cast 【Flight Shu 】 and turned to flee.

Luo De sneered, activating 【Insight Demon Eye】.

He spun around and slashed at empty air.

Puff!

An arm shot skyward.

Blood sprayed across the ground.

Shemus emerged from his disguise field, revealing his true form.

He clutched his shoulder, where the cut was clean and neat, blood instantly soaking his palm.

"W-why?! How can you see through the field?!"

【Insight Demon Eye triggered Field Judgment!】

【Disguise Field · Insight Demon Eye (Luo De): 59】

【Disguise Field · Base (Shemus): 26】

【Result: Success!】

"Only 26? Pathetic."

Luo De laughed arrogantly.

The 【Sacrificial Sword】 oozed black, viscous corrosive fluid, flinging it outward.

Shi Laimu's corrosion field instantly burned through Shemus's magical barrier.

He stared in shock at the charred, stinking magic, then his face twisted in horror as he sensed it:

"Another field?! Where the hell do you get so many fields?!"

"Guess."

Luo De glanced toward Tally, watching nearby: "Don't let any of them escape."

"【Shadow Trace】 is fully in position!"

Tally smiled sweetly, giving a polite salute, "Any reward, Master? Tally's been watching."

"Depends on your performance."

"Yay! Tally hasn't been played from behind in ages—today I wanna try~~"

Nearby, the half-deer girl Qila, who had been stunned by Luo De's terrifying battle display, blinked.

She glanced awkwardly at Tally: "Uh, Miss Tally, as a girl, I should remind you—men don't like promiscuous women, especially someone like Mr. Luo De."

Tally scoffed dismissively.

Since Luo De wasn't nearby, she had no reason to be polite to these two:

"You've never even touched a man, little deer girl, and you're giving advice to the great succubus Tally Lilith on seducing men? How laughable."

"Succubus?"

Tally chuckled darkly.

She cast a transformation spell, shifting from a human adventurer to a dark elf, then to a jackalope, then to a terrifying yet voluptuous tiefling, and finally back to a delicate human.

Qila turned pale, stepping back several paces.

Succubi are a type of demon, and her courage was small.

"Let Auntie Tally teach you a truth, little virgin—men love women who are only promiscuous for them~~"

Ahead,

Luo De's sword churned the air pressure, its overwhelming force instantly snapping the magic rings on Shemus's fingers.

The director of the Image Society screamed in agony.

At that moment,

Boom—boom—boom—

Intense magical roars echoed from the sky.

A purple-robed figure streaked across the horizon, trailing faint air currents.

Shemus's ashen face lit up with relief and hope as he looked up and screamed:

"Master, save me!"

The figure in the sky had clearly been heading straight for this spot.

The amplified 【Illusion Sound Shu 】 crashed down upon Luo De.

"GET OUT!!"

Luo De looked up.

He saw an eighth-rank high-tier purple-robed mage rapidly chanting.

A colossal fist of magical force descended from the heavens.

Riiip—

Luo De's left arm muscles writhed and swelled.

Dozens of terrifying, soulless eyes burst open, then rapidly glowed red-hot like molten lava.

Dozens of +15 【Flame Rays】 erupted violently from the eyes!

Midair,

The extreme heat warped space, instantly piercing through the sealed ritual, then continued with unrelenting force to shred the magical force fist.

Finally, it pierced through the purple-robed mage's body along with his magical shield.

The magical energy surged into violent chaos.

The purple-robed mage spun like a bird struck down, smoking black as he tumbled from the air.

Shemus stared in despair, eyes wide, mouth opening.

He uttered not a single word.

He gazed blankly at the man.

He saw the man walking toward him, calm and unhurried.

He casually slashed a rock summon in two, then clenched his left fist and crushed the burned-out eyeball on his arm out.

Behind him, a massive Hundred-Eyed Ghost spirit flickered.

A crimson arm formed from soul mist, solid as flesh, pierced through the chests of two mages in succession.

"Kneel."

He said it casually, his handsome face, as beautiful as an elf's, lit with a sunlit, arrogant grin.

Shemus did not resist.

He obeyed.

He even chose to kiss the man's shoe sole willingly.
