Chapter 225: Ku Na De, Instantly Slain

Ku Na De could not break the rainbow light sphere, but the garrison troops outside the sphere were devastated.

Ku Na De's half‑human, half‑leopard silhouette flashed through the knights' formation like lightning; the clashing of iron armor rose and fell, the speed was too fast for the naked eye, and before the sound faded, the half‑leopard was already before the knights. Their blade‑sharp claws mercilessly tore through the armor, and each step was accompanied by a knight's scream. Wild light flickered in their eyes, and each fixed gaze seemed able to snatch a prey's soul.

Supersonic‑driven clouds swept the battlefield, and even the elite vanguard could not withstand Ku Na De's charge.

Dust rose, banners fluttered, and the knights brandished their longswords to try to block the raging surge, yet their efforts were like candles in a gale, instantly devoured by the merciless storm. The half‑leopard's form flickered, slipping through the crowd like a shadow, leaving only strings of anguished screams and broken weapons.

Amid the blood‑rain and fetid wind, the half‑leopard seemed to become the battlefield's grim reaper. Every movement carried cold murderous intent and elegant cruelty; muscles, in high‑speed motion, displayed terrifying lines that surpassed any carbon‑based creature, each breath heavy and powerful, intertwining with the frantic war drums into a horrific symphony.

Ku Na De grew more ferocious with each kill; the blood nearly made the madness in his eyes burst forth, the scarlet having already obscured his sapphire‑like pupils, and every time he slit an opponent's throat, he drove his fangs into the neck to drink the fresh blood.

Facing this unstoppable force, the soldiers went from initial panic to gradual numbness, ultimately turning into a despair that accepted fate.

His killing spree surged, but the severely wounded An Liese Tong inside the sphere felt his heart cut like a knife; the soldiers slaughtered by Ku Na De as if mowing grass were his own people, his own troops.

Even Sai Fa Er sighed; despite having seen countless cultists, he had to admit that this native's bloodlust and madness were unparalleled in his life.

Suddenly, a cold, mocking voice echoed from the sky: "What a genuine, unbridled beast."

Seven‑Ring Conjuration Divine Spell — 【Instant Gear Wall】!

There was no echo of incantation, yet in an instant the air filled with the smell of sulfur and char.

Spinning gears sprang from the void, meshing together with a muffled screech. Flames leapt between the gears, each gear's spiked edge rimmed with a ring of fire, like lava in a volcano, the burning light slowly rotating in the darkness.

A towering wall stretching thousands of meters separated the surviving army from Ku Na De.

The wall turned like a living creature, the gears' clatter like a beast's breathing—heavy and rhythmic. Flames danced wildly in the gear gaps, occasional sparks shot from the wall onto the surrounding grass, instantly scorching a patch of char.

Ku Na De had already fallen into a maddening frenzy, lacking the clarity to consider who had unleashed the attack; he simply leapt with force, trying to clear the hundred‑meter‑high wall.

Ku Na De succeeded, but as he crossed the wall, countless blazing gear chains shot out from the barrier; even at supersonic speed in his leopard form, he could not evade the chains' lock.

The chains bound him tightly, the intense heat scorching his fur, a "sizzle" sound erupting; Ku Na De struggled fiercely, and the gear chains, unable to bear his might, kept emitting strained noises.

"Roar!! Roar!!"

Ku Na De had lost the ability to speak, only letting out a resentful roar by instinct. Just as he was about to keep struggling, a massive black silhouette suddenly eclipsed the scorching sun.

He looked up and saw a silver colossus a hundred meters long spanning the sky, its violet‑hued massive eyes gazing at him with curiosity.

"Intelligence, perception, charisma have all dropped sharply? Especially intelligence—unable even to think."

"Is this a side effect of the leopard form? Amazing, how is it even possible?"

Naimi Xisi stared at the leopard before him, baffled; even he has never been able to push his attribute points beyond the boundary between Legendary and mortal, yet this native of the strange continent had achieved it.

The native's power was not especially great, as evident from the fact that he still had not broken free of the Gear Wall's chains.

【Gear Wall】 is a Six‑Ring Spell, but Naimi Xisi enhanced it upon casting with his newly upgraded White Mage Staff, granting it a hint of Taizka divinity.

This caused the spell, originally meant for confinement, to suddenly possess extremely powerful high‑temperature flame damage, even a pseudo‑Legendary‑level Warrior was burned into agonized screams.

Yet even so, the Gear Wall summoned from the Mechanical Realm could still bind a Legendary‑level combatant, indicating that the leopard's power attribute was far lower than its peers.

"And constitution—probably not very high either."

Naimi Xisi glanced at the charred marks on Ku Na De's body, which were growing at an extremely slow rate, and made a judgment in his mind.

This secret art that breaks the Legendary boundary likely comes at a huge cost; at least visibly, aside from agility, the opponent's other five attributes are far below those of peers.

Naimi Xisi chuckled lightly; against such an opponent, a Mage, given enough preparation time, has many ways to deal with them.

Sai Fa Er was fearful, but only because there was no chance to bind the opponent; once this leopard set its sights on someone, there would be no time to cast a spell before death.

!

But at this moment, having been ambushed by Naimi Xisi and temporarily restrained, he had already lost the ability to resist.

Naimi Xisi slowly raised his dragon claw, a faint blue light emanating from the sharp talons, and whispered the incantation.

Seven‑Ring Enchantment Spell — 【Stagnation Spell】!

As the incantation rang out, a mysterious energy surged from Naimi Xisi's body, forming a blue aura that spread rapidly outward. When this energy touched ground‑crawling reptiles and sky‑borne birds, they froze in a strange posture, as if time itself had solidified.

The same applied to Ku Na De and countless Kingdom soldiers. Their movements suddenly became slow and laborious, as if time had frozen at that moment; their faces stiff, gazes vacant, as if their souls were bound by magic.

The blue light wave spread without limit, instantly covering nearly ten thousand Kingdom troops, all falling into a frozen state.

Ku Na De fared slightly better, yet still lacked the strength to resist Naimi Xisi's spell; moreover, his intelligence had dropped to a beast‑like level, while Naimi Xisi's Enchantment Spell had been heavily amplified. He only managed a few seconds longer than a common soldier before losing consciousness.

Naimi Xisi curled his mouth in satisfaction. Indeed, against such an unintelligent foe, Enchantment Spells are like a bug.
