Chapter 432

Although he did not know why his previous attack on the Mortis Beast had no effect, or why it failed to even injure the opponent.

The Silent Mimic was the only person present, besides Lu Li, who knew better than anyone that the Mortis Beast was absolutely not a twelve-star Magic Card Spirit.

Therefore, this unique exotic beast launched another attack, and this time, it chose the attacks of the Chimera Eagle and the Aurora Paradise Bird.

813. Starting with an ultimate, I'll finish this in one wave!

【Mortis Beast】

Race: Digital Beast Angel Type

Quality: Legendary

Level: Eleven Stars

Skills: Light-Dark Symbiosis, Holy Hope, Dark Despair, Chaos Downgrade

Light-Dark Symbiosis: When the Mortis Beast is in chaos, it is immune to Light and Dark attribute attacks. Damage from other attribute attacks is halved, and it cannot be inflicted with any abnormal status. Each time "Holy Hope" is cast, it gains 1 stack of "Holy Light" status, increasing its own attack by 15% and damage by 10%. Each time "Dark Despair" is cast, it gains 1 stack of "Darkness" status, increasing critical hit probability by 30% and final damage by 8%. When both Light and Dark statuses reach three stacks, the next attack will clear all statuses and increase destructive power by 3 times.

Holy Hope: Attacks a designated target, dealing two-stage damage, and grants the user a damage-nullification status. For every buff the target has, the skill's damage increases by 15%. If the target has a "Heavenly Punishment" mark, the final damage is increased by an additional 30%.

Dark Despair: Attacks all enemies, dealing 100% damage to each. If the target has a negative status, the attack ignores defense. If the target has a "Dark Erosion" mark, the damage is doubled and it is guaranteed to be a critical hit.

Chaos Downgrade:

First-stage effect: Locks onto and attacks a target while dealing decaying damage within a certain area; the closer to the target, the higher the damage. It applies "Heavenly Punishment" and "Dark Erosion" marks to the target. Units with the "Heavenly Punishment" mark have a chance to randomly remove their own buffs when receiving Light attribute damage. Units with the "Dark Erosion" mark have their effect resistance reduced and all attributes decreased by 10% when receiving Dark attribute skills. Chaos Downgrade has a chance to trigger a combo with Holy Hope and Dark Despair.

Second-stage effect: Further unleashes the Light and Dark energy, creating a portal to the other side of another dimension, burying the target there. This is a finishing skill; it is guaranteed to execute targets equal to or lower in strength than the user. For targets stronger than the user, there is a chance it will be broken, but if broken, the target's total attributes will decrease by 90%!

Compared to the skills of Omnimon Alter-B and Imperialdramon, these are not inferior at all; in Lu Li's view, the Mortis Beast's skill effects are even stronger.

Light-Dark Symbiosis directly grants immunity to Light and Dark skills; although it is not total immunity, it is formidable enough.

It is precisely because of this passive skill that the Mortis Beast was able to take the "Holy Arrow" and "Dark Wave" released by the Silent Mimic without a scratch.

Furthermore, "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" possess powerful destructive force while also providing additional damage bonuses.

However, by comparison, the "Chaos Downgrade" skill is even more outrageous. It actually has a second-stage effect, which is a direct execution skill that kills anyone equal to or weaker than the Mortis Beast.

Even if the opponent is stronger than the Mortis Beast and has a chance to break free from the "Chaos Downgrade" and return from the other dimension, their total attributes will inevitably drop by 90%.

Even for a twelve-star existence, if they luckily escaped the other dimension, returning with a 90% drop in total attributes is no different from walking to their death.

This time, facing the Silent Mimic's attack, the Mortis Beast did not bother to dodge like before. Instead, it flapped the twelve wings on its back—a fusion of angel and fallen angel wings—and flew rapidly toward the Silent Mimic while evading the attack.

Obviously, she possesses the top-tier skill "Light-Dark Symbiosis," which grants immunity to Light and Dark attacks, but the Silent Mimic's current skill set included not only the "Light Feather" of the Aurora Paradise Bird but also the "Magic Blast" of the mysterious Chimera Eagle.

She had no way to be immune to that Magic Blast.

Moreover, being on the defensive was never her fighting style.

As a fusion evolution of Angewomon and LadyDevimon, inheriting the combat consciousness of both, the Mortis Beast preferred active strikes over passive defense.

Chaos Downgrade!

Starting with an ultimate, the Mortis Beast blasted a "Chaos Downgrade" directly at the Silent Mimic.

The opponent could mimic the skills of others, but since the Mortis Beast had just been born from fusion, the Silent Mimic had no way to mimic her skills.

Furthermore, as an eleven-star legendary existence, the Mortis Beast's overall strength was even greater than the eleven-star epic Silent Mimic; whether the opponent could even copy the Mortis Beast's abilities was an unknown.

In the space, Light and Dark energy instantly engulfed everything. The Silent Mimic's location seemed to be split in two, and Light and Dark occupied everyone's vision, making it impossible to see the state of the Silent Mimic after being hit by the "Chaos Downgrade."

However, from the constant "crack-crack" sounds, Lu Li and Meng Ningdie seemed to hear the sound of shattering.

Clearly, after being hit by the Mortis Beast's "Chaos Downgrade," the Silent Mimic's situation was not optimistic.

Boom!

Amidst the Light and Dark of the "Chaos Downgrade," the Silent Mimic finally rushed out. However, compared to before, the current Silent Mimic was covered in cracks, and several crystal areas had completely dimmed. Although it rushed out of the attack range of the "Chaos Downgrade," it did not mean it was over; or rather, the Silent Mimic's luck was truly a bit poor.

On both sides of the Silent Mimic, the phantoms of Angewomon and LadyDevimon suddenly appeared, and then both launched attacks at the Silent Mimic.

Holy Hope!

Dark Despair!

These were not their original signature skills, but the other two skills possessed by the Mortis Beast.

"Tsk! This Silent Mimic is likely in grave danger now." Seeing this scene, Lu Li couldn't help but click his tongue.

He was one of the only two people present who knew what this scene represented; it was the performance of the Silent Mimic triggering the combo attack of the first stage of "Chaos Downgrade."

As for the other person who knew the meaning of this scene, it was naturally the Mortis Beast.

814. Collection Anomaly: Two-Star Sovereign

"Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" were skills held by the Mortis Beast. Under normal circumstances, the "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" released by the Mortis Beast did not take this form.

The appearance of the phantoms of Angewomon and LadyDevimon, and the release of "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" through these phantoms, was the result of triggering the combo attack of "Chaos Downgrade."

Although Lu Li didn't know how high the probability of "Chaos Downgrade" triggering "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" was, the fact that both skills were triggered simultaneously only showed that the Silent Mimic was quite unlucky.

It was very likely that this "Chaos Downgrade" from the Mortis Beast would finish off the Silent Mimic.

And in fact, just as Lu Li thought, the combo attack of "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" landed on the Silent Mimic, dealing fatal damage.

One must know that besides having powerful destructive force, "Chaos Downgrade" also applied "Heavenly Punishment" and "Dark Erosion" marks to the target.

And with the "Heavenly Punishment" and "Dark Erosion" marks present, the attacks of "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" were further strengthened.

One "Chaos Downgrade" was equivalent to taking three rounds of attacks; no one could withstand that.

Subsequently, the Mortis Beast simply followed up with a normal attack, directly resolving the Silent Mimic.

"Oh my goodness!" Seeing this, Meng Ningdie couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling that the scene before her was full of fantasy.

As for the Chimera Eagle, the Aurora Paradise Bird, and the Thunder Eagle, they followed their master's lead and also widened their eyes.

One hit, one hit to finish off an eleven-star epic-level Silent Mimic; this destructive power was outrageous!

Although the phantoms of Angewomon and LadyDevimon appeared after the "Chaos Downgrade" and released the "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" skills, they could still tell that the release of "Holy Hope" and "Dark Despair" was a combo effect of "Chaos Downgrade."

So strictly speaking, the Mortis Beast really only used one move; as for the final normal attack that finished off the Silent Mimic, it was directly ignored by Meng Ningdie.

Even if the Mortis Beast hadn't used that final normal attack, the Silent Mimic wouldn't have lived much longer.

"Master Tamer," after resolving the Silent Mimic, the Mortis Beast flew to Lu Li's side, waiting for further orders.

Up close, one could feel even more of the holiness and charm that were completely opposite yet harmoniously fused within the Mortis Beast.

Compared to Angewomon and LadyDevimon, the Mortis Beast's figure was taller; even standing in front of Lu Li, she could look him directly in the eye.

If she flew up, she would be a head taller than Lu Li.

Of course, as for her figure, there was no need to mention it; Angewomon and LadyDevimon's figures were top-notch, something Lu Li knew deeply.

And the Mortis Beast, fused from the two, could be said to have perfectly combined their advantages; even wearing battle armor, it couldn't hide her proud figure.

"Well done, Mortis Beast," looking at the Mortis Beast before him, Lu Li's eyes showed appreciation.

He could clearly feel that after he spoke, the Mortis Beast had a feeling of happiness, though it wasn't expressed.

Of course, it was also possible that because most of her face was covered by a mask, it couldn't be seen.

Speaking of which, inheriting Angewomon and LadyDevimon, what did the Mortis Beast look like under the mask?

Looking at the Mortis Beast, who was like a female war god, Lu Li couldn't help but wonder.

"If Master Tamer has the thought, I can take off the mask now." Seemingly knowing Lu Li's thoughts, the Mortis Beast's voice sounded in Lu Li's heart.

"I do want to know, but let's wait for another day; now is not the right time." Shaking his head, Lu Li temporarily rejected the Mortis Beast's proposal.

Just as he said, although the Silent Mimic had been resolved, they were still in the "World within a World," and there were no signs of being teleported away.

Thinking of this, Lu Li took the time to cast a "Collection Technique" on the defeated Silent Mimic.

Although this was not a fierce beast, nor an extraterritorial fierce beast, but a special exotic beast that only existed in the "World within a World," it was no longer a big problem.

【Collection Failed!】

However, the "Collection Technique" that had always worked, even on the Black Gate, had failed on the Silent Mimic.

"Could it be that this thing isn't dead yet?" However, Lu Li quickly denied this.

He still had great trust in the Mortis Beast's strength.

"So, is it because of the identity of a special exotic beast?" This was also the first time Lu Li had encountered a special exotic beast, and there were various possibilities.

The "World within a World" had no anomalies for the time being, and he couldn't collect the Silent Mimic, so Lu Li took the time to check his own situation.

The fusion evolution of Angewomon and LadyDevimon into the Mortis Beast had provided him with quite a bit of magic power; his current level had rushed from the eight-star Emperor Realm directly to the Sovereign Realm!

【Angewomon and LadyDevimon fusion evolution successful, Mortis Beast data updated, obtained magic power reflux, level increased to nine-star Emperor Realm!】

【Angewomon and LadyDevimon fusion evolution successful, Mortis Beast data updated, obtained magic power reflux, level broke through to one-star Sovereign Realm!】

【Angewomon and LadyDevimon fusion evolution successful, Mortis Beast data updated, obtained magic power reflux, level broke through to two-star Sovereign Realm!】

Just like when WarGreymon and BlitzGreymon fused into Omnimon Alter-B, this time, the fusion of Angewomon and LadyDevimon into the Mortis Beast allowed Lu Li to make a triple jump.

However, it was just barely enough to promote to the two-star Sovereign Realm. If there had been a tiny bit less magic power reflux, he would probably have been stuck at the one-star Sovereign Realm instead of rushing to the two-star Sovereign Realm.

Regarding this, Lu Li roughly guessed why.
