Chapter 268: The Troublesome Ulda Niu Mo

When he swung that sword, Li En himself hadn't expected that his strongest strike wouldn't require a real blade or sword.

"Skerva (Sword of Severance)!"

The sword model symbolizing the concept of cutting, after being infused with a massive amount of mana, transformed into a solid force-field blade resembling a shield of stance.

This was the second time Li En had used this Dragon Incantation; his best expectation was to use the sheer size of the sword model to slash back this giant beast.

Those thick scales, tree bark, and composite skin made of hellfire, along with the metallic sounds from previous clashes with Hela and Claire, had let Li En know how hard this flesh, possessing a touch of divinity, would be.

"How is this possible!"

But when that transparent force-field blade descended, all witnesses were stunned.

The audience outside even stood up one by one, staring dumbfounded at the falling giant sword.

In fact, Li En himself was stunned.

"How is this possible?! How is it possible to cut through so easily?"

That massive blade fell, and the giant beast's arm, originally like purgatory steel, met it, only to be split in two as easily as paper by a cleaver!

When the giant wrist and half an arm fell, blood mixed with green fire gushed out.

"Moo!!"

The giant bull roared, screaming in pain.

Its evil-fire pupils were filled with confusion; it had not sensed any threat or killing intent at all, yet its hand was easily cut off.

It wasn't over yet; without the arm's obstruction, the void blade continued to fall, ruthlessly tearing open the flesh of its chest.

A huge wound was cut open; the spewing green flame-blood was like a volcanic eruption, even creating a pool of fire filled with hellish evil fire on the battlefield.

"Moo!"

The completely enraged giant beast wildly waved its arms; it seemed it did not lack the sense of pain.

Li En's sudden divine strike made the mad Ulda Niu Mo scream in pain continuously.

Li En then remembered his "Wall-Breaker"; he had underestimated the strength of the Heroic Soul Sul once again!

That simple and unadorned unique trait could injure even a True God at its peak; how much more so a twisted creation with only a trace of divinity.

The "Wall-Breaker," already sublimated by Li En to Diamond Rank, attached to the force-field blade granting the concept of "cutting," became an unstoppable Sword of Damocles.

This "righteous sneak attack" gave Ulda Niu Mo an overly memorable greeting gift.

"Smack!"

In the next instant, Li En was naturally knocked flying, violently crashing into the wall and smashing out a large crater.

"Li En!!"

No one expected that Li En, with just one strike, had drawn full aggro.

But unlike Hela and Claire, who were above Great Warrior, could Li En, merely at Tier Three, really withstand such a heavy blow?

"Not bad." He spat out a mouthful of blood foam, shook his head, and seemed to have no problem.

As the smoke cleared, Li En stood up directly, without even a broken bone.

The black armor radiated a faint black light; facing an attack of this level, it didn't even have a single crack, obviously not an ordinary object.

In fact, it was the timely softening of the "Armor" that avoided collision injuries for Li En. He shook the flying dust off his body and rejoined the front line.

Setting aside other things, actual combat had already proven that his armor and his own flesh had quite good defense.

Perhaps he could truly stand at the very front of this war, becoming the main force for slaying divine monsters.

"Smack!"

Then, Li En was directly slapped into the ground.

There was no way; his aggro from that strike was drawn too steadily, and the shield guards in front simply couldn't block this giant beast.

This was the result of losing control of aggro upon striking and standing too close; the mad Niu Mo chased Li En and beat him!

"Moo!"

Accompanied by the giant beast's sudden upward roar, after the violent bellow, the entire world twisted once more.

Massive vines and grasslands grew wildly; "weeds" taller than humans grew claws and teeth, furiously tearing apart all life around them.

Ulda Niu Mo was not a born warrior; it was a corrupted World Tree seed, originally a pure "creation of nature." Yet now, relying solely on the combat instincts in its bloodline, with attributes so ridiculously high, it still could not be easily restrained by the squad before it.

Another batch of corrupted creatures was activated, being dealt with and resisted by the second-line warriors.

"Don't panic, maintain formation; those below Great Warrior, do not approach it. Mages, prepare fire spells..." A Radiant Guard was still organizing.

It seemed neither his captain Claire nor Li En had listened to him much.

But now, after the initial chaos, the agreed-upon tactics were finally executed.

Top-tier warriors restrained the monster's attacks, while the mages and sorcerers, acting as the main damage dealers, hurled rockets and fireballs one by one.

Although purgatory creatures generally had high fire resistance, Ulda Niu Mo, born from the World Tree, had half its limbs made of wood, so it shouldn't resist fire much, right? The World Tree was famously afraid of fire; several famous, named specimens in history had all been burned.

"Detected very strong fire resistance; activate backup plan."

The development of reality was always too hard to endure.

The fire arrows and fireballs basically exploded a small hole and then vanished; this "tree" could actually resist fire!

This couldn't be blamed on incorrect intelligence; Ulda Niu Mo was simply too rare. Finding some basic data on it was already lucky, and every case was vastly different; from now on, they could only follow the procedure, testing as they fought.

"Continue; spellcasters, do not stop."

In the next moment, sorcerers and mages hurled a batch of magic missiles, arcane blasts, and missile storms; let the omnipresent force damage provide stable output.

"Boom!"

The brilliance of the spells made the giant beast instinctively retreat, but anyone could see that with such a small wound, the effect was very poor.

"Resistant to force damage too?! It's not high magic resistance; this is a divine creature."

The bad intelligence was quickly verified by reality.

Ice, lightning, acid; after trying them one by one, the effects were all very poor.

Even the slightest divine heritage granted terrible all-around resistance.

Next, the frontliners of the squad discovered with dismay that the warriors and fighters' effects were also poor.
