The bat wings behind him had grotesque bones and thin, sharpened edges, making him ugly and dangerous.
He was born with three heads.
The left head was a bull's head, with twisted, dark brown horns.
The right head was a goat's head, with intertwining, emerald green horns.
Most of the time, the eyes of these two heads were tightly closed, only truly opening when they used a specific special skill.
The middle head, however, was a human head, with grotesque, ancient golden demon horns.
Around the neck of the middle head hung a string of skull necklaces.
The number of skulls usually represented Asmodeus's strength: one for Basic Level, two for Intermediate Level, three for Advanced Level...
The Asmodeus in front of them wore a necklace with four skulls, looking quite imposing.
“Asmodeus!”
Mingxi had studied all of Su Nanyu’s previous battles and came to a 100% accurate conclusion—Su Nanyu’s Asmodeus was not only ugly but also a chatterbox.
“Ice Wall.”
Mingxi had already issued the command before Asmodeus charged forward.
This Asmodeus had an extremely strong sense of autonomy; he would launch attacks without needing Su Nanyu’s command.
What made opponents even more frustrated was that he would also use skills that went against his Beast Tamers’ commands during battles.
This was extremely misleading.
Opponents often reacted too slowly, making incorrect responses, and thus, Su Nanyu and Asmodeus seized the winning opportunity.
However, if one ignored Su Nanyu and fought Asmodeus as if he were a wild Transcendent creature, they would fall into a trap of mistaken assumptions.
After all, Su Nanyu’s Beast Taming talent was only considered average compared to those geniuses; it didn't mean he was truly an insignificant, transparent person.
The strategy of 'feigning weakness to conceal strength, and feigning strength to conceal weakness' was mastered by Su Nanyu and his Asmodeus.
The so-called 'one trick to rule them all.'
Su Nanyu followed this path.
“Light Expulsion!”
As Asmodeus charged towards Lan Yue, just about to collide with the Ice Wall that was over ten meters high, Su Nanyu’s command finally rang out.
Dense darkness arrived as expected. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Like an ink fish releasing its ink.
In an instant, the enormous battle stage was completely {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} enveloped by darkness, leaving not a single gap.
In the eyes of the audience, the battle stage at this moment looked like a huge, hemispherical black iron lump.
Seeing this scene, Mingxi’s expression remained calm.
She sensed Lan Yue’s current state.
Her lips curved slightly, and she calmly said, “Ice Age.”
Asmodeus’s Light Expulsion had a very high proficiency, but he didn't possess the Absolute Silence characteristic like Golden Yuanbao.
Therefore, Light Expulsion could only cause visual obstruction for the pet beast but could not block external sounds.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—”
White ice and snow permeated the air, and frost condensed.
Although the darkness was illusory, at this moment, it seemed to have become tangible.
The pitch-black hemisphere instantly transformed into a giant Black Forest cake, sprinkled with glistening frost flowers.
At first glance, it was quite appetizing.
“...Good heavens!”
The audience swallowed their saliva, gasping in astonishment.
“Am I seeing things? Does this look like the air itself has been frozen? Is Lan Yue’s Ice Age that incredible? How high must the proficiency be for this?”
Su Nanyu also frowned at this moment.
“Fatty, Dark Mire!”
“Asmodeus! Asmodeus!”
Dark Mire, an Advanced Level Demon-type skill, turns the nearby ground into a mire, making it difficult to move once caught in it, and it continuously erodes opponents.
Asmodeus’s Light Expulsion could last for a considerable amount of time.
In the pitch-black darkness, his and his Beast Tamers’ 'feigned weakness/strength' combat style had an even greater advantage.
Opponents could only rely on blind guesses.
And they had to make targeted decisions in a short amount of time, otherwise, they were very likely to be eliminated.
Mingxi’s brain was constantly operating at high speed.
Almost the moment Su Nanyu gave his order, she had already made her decision: “Ice Burst Bomb.”
To avoid the Dark Mire skill, the best way was to leave the ground area.
Lan Yue had Elemental Rejection, allowing her to float in the air for a short time.
However, releasing an Ice Burst Bomb required Lan Yue to stand on the ground.
It wasn't that Ice Burst Bomb couldn't be used while airborne, but it was very easy to be accidentally injured by one's own skill.
So why did Mingxi still want Lan Yue to use Ice Burst Bomb?
Because she didn't think Asmodeus would use Dark Mire.
This wasn’t based on intuition.
Instead, it was the result of careful reasoning and judgment.
Because Lan Yue had just used Ice Age.
In such a short time, the frozen state simply couldn't be dispelled!
Given Asmodeus’s demonstrated combat prowess, he would instinctively avoid using ground-based skills.
In short, the ground was highly likely to be safe.
From this, it was clear that Su Nanyu’s combat talent was truly not very good; his associative thinking and overall perspective could be said to be very poor.
“Crunch! Boom!!”
“Asmodeus! Asmodeus...”
Inside the Black Forest cake, the sounds of ice bombs exploding and shattering continuously echoed.
There was also Asmodeus’s cry, whether from excitement or perversion, it was hard to tell.
Friction sounds, collision sounds.
Although no one could see the scene inside, they could imagine the intensity of the internal battle.
The audience scratched their heads, wishing they had eyes that could see through objects to clearly see the real scene on the battle stage.
“What’s going on in there? Does anyone have a pet beast with a skill like Insight?”
Insight, a common Intermediate Level skill, clears away clouds and fog, allowing one to see the essence of things, specifically countering skills like Light Expulsion.
Similar skills included Clear Sight, Pure Heart...
Among the audience, there were indeed some clever individuals who summoned their pet beasts and used Insight skills to help observe the battle situation on the stage.
However, before the pet beasts could provide a live commentary.
The situation on the battle stage changed again.
The Light Expulsion skill dissipated.
And a clear world... cough... a universe was revealed.
The battle stage was already dilapidated, with piles of stones, collapsed ground, and ice chunks, ice shards, and frost of varying sizes scattered everywhere.
In the air, wisps of black flames still lingered.
Mingxi understood.
Asmodeus had indeed not used Dark Mire just now, but Netherfire instead.
Mingxi’s gaze swept over the chocolate-colored behemoth; its ferocious and grotesque body was now covered in bloodstains.
One horn of his right goat head was even broken!
Across from him, amidst a scene of ruins, a noble and aloof long-haired beast was hopping around, trying to stomp out a cluster of pitch-black flames.
“Whoosh!”
Almost instantly.
The entire venue erupted in an uproar. frёewebηovel.cѳm
“Am I seeing things? Lan Yue... has exclusively evolved again?!”
“Someone pinch me, I suspect I’m dreaming... Ow! Bastard, you actually pinched me?! And of all places, you had to pinch my nipple?! I’m going to pinch you to death!”
“...”
“Who said just now that if Lan Yue exclusively evolved again in this battle, he would do a handstand and defecate? Quick, quick, arrange it now.”
“Damn it!”
“Hahaha...”
Some rejoiced, others grieved.
This was true for the audience, and also for the two Beast Tamers on the battle stage.
