Chapter 005: Death

It was like a seasoned hunter who set a trap himself, watching his prey fall into it with a sly smile. Sure enough, Rob quickly grabbed Ulbas’s hand, used his strength to pull him to the side, then pulled downward. Soon, a faint sound of a blade piercing flesh could be heard. Ulbas’s thigh was pierced by a blue dagger! Seeing the dagger in his leg, Ulbas screamed in terror, as if he were being slaughtered. His screams were agonizing, and since Ulbas was a powerful warrior, his cries were extremely loud. Rob, who was in front of Ulbas, frowned upon hearing such loud screams and quickly jumped back. Even a normal person, even one who had reached divine levels, could not bear such sounds. After Rob stepped back, Ulbas withered away at an astonishing speed. Like a flower quickly withering, he became thinner and darker in no time. In less than five seconds, before anyone else could react, Ulbas, once a renowned warrior in the underground world, turned into a skeleton-like figure—dark and emaciated, like a mummified corpse left to dry for years, utterly grotesque. Ulbas’s screams naturally drew the attention of many, especially the Spidermen and Night Elves fighting against the Bimons. Seeing their once-respected leader killed in such a cruel manner, their hearts were filled with despair. As warriors of the Bimons, they became even more aggressive. Originally, the Spidermen and Night Elves were far weaker than ancient races like the Bimons, and losing morale only led to them retreating in disarray. The situation for Hua Mus was not much better. Bashar’s own axe had been destroyed; now he wielded the Sun God’s Axe, which he had taken from Karu—a legendary artifact crafted by the God of Fire himself. With a divine-level warrior wielding an artifact made by one of the twelve major gods, Bashar seemed possessed by the God of Fire, radiating intense fire energy.

With such intense fire energy, Basha appeared like a giant fireball. Even Basha himself could hardly make out his own face under such scorching flames!
Each strike carried intense flames, like streams of fiery meteors hitting the giant spider before him. The spider screamed in agony as it was burned.
Fortunately, this spider-man had eight long legs, which allowed it to move around and avoid having its legs burned. If it had only two legs, they would have been completely destroyed by Basha’s attacks.
Relying on the constant movement of its eight legs, this domain expert among spider-men managed to withstand Basha’s fierce fire energy.
Seeing that Rob had already taken care of his opponent, Basha suddenly smiled.
“Big Spider, look—your companion has been defeated. Go help him!”
As soon as Basha said this, the flames around him grew even more intense, and the Sun God Axe in his hand emitted a deep red glow.
This divine artifact, capable of enabling a Saint-level warrior to use domain powers, and said to have been forged by the Fire God himself, shone even more brilliantly in the hands of the god-tier warrior Basha.
Amidst this brilliance, Huamusi suddenly felt extreme heat all around him!
The spider-man tried to retreat, but how could it escape under Basha’s continuous attacks?
Soon, the spider-man also let out agonized screams as flames spread across its entire body, cooking its flesh until it emitted a savory smell.
In no time, amidst the crackling sounds, this domain expert turned into a pile of roasted spider meat.
At that moment, seeing flames rise from Huamusi’s body, the warriors of the Bimong tribe fought even more fiercely. With their loud battle cries, the battlefield was filled with the corpses of spider-men and night elves.
Soon, Huamusi turned into a pile of ashes. A gust of wind blew, scattering the ashes everywhere—so ended the life of this domain expert, returning to the elements.
After the ashes were scattered by the wind, a shiny object caught Basha’s eye.
Bending down, he picked up the shiny object—it was a magic core! A domain-level magic core!

It turns out that these Spider-Men are somewhere between spiders and humans, but their source of energy is actually magic cores. Even Basha never expected that Spider-Men would be classified under magical beasts. Seeing Basha pick up a shiny object, Rob quickly ran over. “Basha, you’re quite clever. You’ve found a domain-level magic core. Hehe, with such a domain-level magic core placed in a magic weapon made by the dwarves, who knows what kind of magic it could unleash?” Rob said with a smile, looking at the domain-level magic core in Basha’s hand. “Haha, I’m thinking about something—what kind of magic would be released if the magic core of a god-tier expert were taken out and placed in a magic weapon?” Basha said, deliberately putting on a greedy expression as he looked at Rob. “Damn!” Hearing Basha’s words and seeing his expression, Rob immediately understood what he meant. It was nothing but a way of asking what effect the magic core of a god-tier magical beast like him would have if its core were taken out. “Basha, don’t you know? Once a magical beast reaches the god tier, its magic core has already evolved into a divine essence, just like the god-tier experts among your humans!” “Well, even if that’s the case, if we could obtain a divine essence and use it to fill a dwarf-made magic weapon, who knows how much power it could unleash?” Basha said. “You’re really stupid! If someone got a divine essence, wouldn’t they immediately fuse it with themselves? Once fused, they’d be on their way to becoming a god. How could such a thing be used to fill a magic weapon?” Rob said with a laugh. Hearing this, Basha gave up further questioning and nodded repeatedly. “Even for the magic cores of domain experts, I think the dwarves would surely hesitate to use domain-level magic cores in their magic weapons. After all, a saint-tier expert could instantly gain a domain once they absorb such a magic core!” …… It’s unclear what skill Randy used, but the bleeding from his left eye socket had stopped, yet the empty, black eye socket still looked extremely terrifying! From that dark eye socket, it seemed as though endless black light was emanating, a gloomy light that seemed ready to devour the entire Du Fan!

Streams of water flowed throughout his entire body; these were actually high-speed currents that, under the force of strong winds, could not only provide protection but also serve as a weapon. These rapidly moving water streams contained intense wind energy, and if any external object came into contact with their surface, it would be instantly blown aside by the powerful currents.

Whether inspired by Du Fan’s technique of “Picking Stars” or for some other reason, Randy now transformed these water streams into various weapons. Using these weapons created by the high-speed currents, he faced off against Du Fan.

“Randy, tsk tsk, you really learn fast!” Du Fan nodded in approval as he watched Randy’s gleaming spear.

“Du Fan, you don’t need to judge me. Today, we’ll fight to the death!” Randy said fiercely.

“Hey, Young Master Randy, don’t be in such a hurry! Even though we’re enemies, it was Fisher who killed my parents. Honestly, there doesn’t seem to be such deep hatred between us,” Du Fan said jokingly while dodging Randy’s attacks.

Seeing that Rob and Basha had already defeated their opponents, Du Fan felt greatly relieved. As he fought, he couldn’t help but tease Randy.

“No matter what you say, Du Fan, I’ll make you pay for severing my arm and blinding me!” Randy snarled.

With only one eye left, Randy, who was originally handsome, now appeared extremely ferocious.

“Ah, Randy, you’re only blind in one eye, yet you’re still so restless!” Du Fan said with a laugh.

Just as he spoke, Randy’s expression suddenly turned cold, and countless powerful water streams surged through the air like streams of water themselves! It was as if countless water currents appeared in the sky, all moving in one direction—toward Du Fan.

Thanks to the True Eye, Du Fan immediately saw that these powerful water streams contained intense wind energy. Any one of them could cut a person in two the moment it touched them.

“Come on, Randy! Let me see just how strong you really are!” Du Fan shouted, seeing Randy’s determination to engage in a decisive battle with him. “Randy, come on! You keep saying you want to fight me to the death—so show me if you really have the strength to do so!”
Hearing Du Fan’s words, Randy snorted again. With that snort, more and more water surged around him, flowing faster and faster!
Surrounded by his Absolute Protection Field, Du Fan allowed Randy’s high-speed cutting water to envelop him. Soon, he realized that the power of his Absolute Protection Field was being severely depleted under the relentless cutting force of the water.
“Good, Randy. With that skill, you can indeed be my enemy,” Du Fan said, feeling the intense cutting power of Randy’s water.
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Fan disappeared into thin air. Immediately afterward, he reappeared beside Randy and swung his Star-Seizing Sword—nine rapid meteors shot toward Randy!
Nine Stars in a Row! One of Du Fan’s family’s legendary Dou Qi techniques, the ultimate move of Star Dou Qi, appeared once again!
Seeing the fierce onslaught, Randy didn’t dare take chances. He retracted all his high-speed water, which quickly formed a barrier in front of him!
The nine meteors kept crashing into the barrier of high-speed water. With each impact, splashes of water flew everywhere!
The battle took place in mid-air, generating countless splashes. As these splashes scattered in the air, illuminated by the lightning constantly unleashed by Lei Meng, they transformed into rainbow-like scenes!
Nine meteors, massive splashes of water, and lightning everywhere! Along with silhouettes floating in the sky, a breathtakingly beautiful scene emerged above this fierce battle.
