Mighty Lord

Chapter 1077: Chapter 430 NPC Demigods_2

"Sword Realm!" Compared to Zhou Tian, the demigod’s mood was no better. After all, under his watch, Zhou Tian, this monster, had almost burst directly into the spatial passage he was guarding. If questioned by his superiors, he could be considered negligent. Thus, facing the enemy who had almost implicated him, it was strange for the demigod to hold any favorable impression.

As a result, with just a glance at Zhou Tian, the demigod unsurprisingly unleashed his ability. With a shout, countless treasure swords, conjured from his power, emerged from underground and stretched directly towards Zhou Tian.

Thousands or tens of thousands, Zhou Tian could no longer keep count of exactly how many treasure swords the opponent had conjured. Zhou Tian felt that, once the demigod attacked, swords assailed him from all directions, and he was momentarily at a loss under such an onslaught.

Zhou Tian was adept at defense rather than offense. He could display considerable combat power in small-scale fights, but large-area attacks like these were more challenging for him.

Fortunately, although Zhou Tian was not skilled in this type of combat, his strength had grown much stronger than before. Relying on his own abilities, Zhou Tian had a certain capability to cope with the current attack.

Time elapsed!

After a long absence, Zhou Tian’s Time Domain Ability was called upon once more. When he deployed that ability, the swords that were assaulting him transformed instantly. frёewebηovel.cѳm

The numerous treasure swords started to rust and then decay before even reaching Zhou Tian. Ultimately, because of Zhou Tian’s power, the demigod’s attack had dissipated before it could truly land.

Moreover, Zhou Tian wasn’t the type to passively take hits and not retaliate. After blocking the demigod’s attack with his Time Domain Ability, naturally, Zhou Tian used his Time Ability to launch a counterattack against the demigod.

"Time Plunder!"

Facing a demigod, Zhou Tian knew that ordinary attacks were unlikely to be a threat. Therefore, when he attacked, he utilized his most recently acquired ability. The sole effect of Zhou Tian’s new ability was to plunder the living beings’ lifespan, aiming to weaken the opponent’s lifespan and let them die of old age on the battlefield.

Zhou Tian had developed this new ability when he was bored since it wasn’t particularly effective against monsters. It was only against opponents like this demigod that Zhou Tian’s ability could exhibit its potency.

Zhou Tian’s power was ineffective against monsters due to their nearly infinite lifespans. However, NPCs clearly didn’t possess such longevity. Thus, if the demigod truly fell victim to Zhou Tian’s move and had his entire lifespan drained, it was certainly possible he could be killed by that single strike.

In fact, once Zhou Tian used that ability, he immediately witnessed the corresponding effect. Under the influence of his power, the demigod’s visage visibly aged at an observable rate. The already not-young face instantly appeared even more aged, and even some of the black hair began to turn white.

Given the lifespan of demigods, Zhou Tian’s ability could directly cause such an effect, which attested to its strength. Sensing the change within himself, the demigod’s face indeed turned pale.

Why do all living beings strive to increase their strength? Setting aside the present, aside from the pursuit of strength in the past, wasn’t the primary reason to live longer? NPCs, so similar to the living beings of old, believed that although the demigod was powerful, his fear of death probably wasn’t less than that of ordinary people.

Therefore, if Zhou Tian directly took him on in a hard fight, using his strength to wound the demigod, the latter might not have had much of a reaction. But when Zhou Tian used his special ability to directly drain the demigod’s lifespan, the demigod could not accept this result no matter what.

Thus, once Zhou Tian’s ability came into effect, and the demigod started to feel the emotion of fear, his reaction was much more intense than under normal circumstances.

"Sword Realm!" Unable to stop the drain of his lifespan, the demigod’s strength was useless, no matter how strong he was. The most formidable aspect of Time Ability lay in its insidious nature of attack. Unlike other visible assaults, the workings of Time Ability were imperceptible. Its effects only became evident after it had taken its toll; even the user could not fully understand how it worked upon the victim.

So, with the demigod’s lack of expertise in Time Ability, when facing Zhou Tian’s attack, he was clueless about the origin of the assault and thus had no way to avoid the effects of Zhou Tian’s ability. In that moment, only one method remained in the demigod’s mind.
