Chapter 690: A Familiar Plot Replays
Illusion or reality.
Truth or falsehood.
This is the essence of illusions.
Even though the man's figure was an illusion, his attack landed solidly on the Dark Moon Demon Soldier.
No matter how it tried to sense the situation or activate its advanced demon soldier bloodline, it couldn't escape the illusion.
At this moment.
The Dark Moon Demon Soldier realized a critical point.
It was no match for this human!
Although the opponent was only Level 100, his illusions were utterly unstoppable!
Everyone knows.
For a Professional's skill to work against a higher-level target, only one factor could make it possible.
The user's base attributes must crush the target's!
Levels provide an inherent advantage through attribute boosts.
And base attributes are the foundation for all Professionals, monsters, and divine beasts alike.
This means…
The man in front of it, despite being Level 100 and having "None" displayed as his class, had attributes that completely overwhelmed its own!
That's why the illusion was so effective!
Realizing this.
The Dark Moon Demon Soldier's once confident and boiling heart turned icy cold!
A monster!
The man before it was a monster!
His Level 100 attributes crushed the attributes of a Level 121 demon soldier of the Ten Thousand Demons!
It swore it had never encountered such an outrageous human!
"Enough!"
"A warrior can die, but they must not be humiliated!"
"I admit it—I'm weaker than you!"
"Give me a clean death!"
After realizing it was utterly outmatched, the Dark Moon Demon Soldier gave up all resistance.
It no longer knew whether its current form was its true body or a mere projection.
But it didn't matter anymore…
Because it had already lost.
Its pierced heart continued to bleed, and even the resilient regenerative power of the Ten Thousand Demons had no effect. This was proof enough.
There was no point in further resistance or futile struggle.
Faced with its surrender, Ling Zhan's expression remained indifferent as he simply raised his hand and clenched it into a fist.
Crack!!
The barren space around the Dark Moon Demon Soldier shattered completely.
Along with it…
Its body was torn apart, splitting into pieces!
"Look! The darkness blocking the screen is gone!"
At this moment.
The shroud of darkness that had obscured the screen was lifted.
The audience, already on edge and watching intently, immediately noticed the change. But the scene that greeted them left everyone utterly dumbfounded!
On the screen, the massive and supposedly invincible Dark Moon Demon Soldier had been reduced to chunks of shattered, lifeless flesh.
These bloodied remains were devoid of any life energy, a clear sign of death to all watching.
This announced a shocking truth!
Victory!
The non-specialist had won again!
And once more, he had killed a high-level demon soldier in a single, decisive move!
"This…"
At this point.
The expressions on everyone's faces were no longer of surprise but of utter terror!
The strength this non-specialist displayed had completely surpassed their wildest imaginations!
Brian, the young master of the Acy family, was particularly elated.
The stronger this non-specialist became, the more excited he felt!
In his eyes, this non-specialist was destined to be his tool, a servant to fight on his behalf!
He resolved that when the non-specialist emerged, he would personally extend an invitation.
"Young Master, it seems this non-specialist's strength is far beyond our expectations!"
"I believe he's worthy of becoming your trusted aide!"
"However, for safety's sake, it's best to use a soul contract to make him your most loyal servant!"
"Otherwise, if he ever betrays you, it would be a huge problem!"
A nearby guard whispered a reminder.
"Don't worry, I will."
"Such a powerful non-specialist would be a nightmare to deal with if he ever defected."
Brian nodded slowly.
After speaking.
They continued to watch the screen as the slender figure stepped into the twelfth floor.
...…
In truth, Ling Zhan's method on the eleventh floor was remarkably simple.
Eye of Ten Thousand Demons.
An SS-level innate talent.
And crucially, this talent was inherited from the mysterious and powerful Lord of Ten Thousand Demons.
It held a natural suppressive power over members of the demon race.
The Dark Moon Demon Soldier failed to notice this because the moment it created its barren space, it had already fallen under Ling Zhan's eye technique.
Its crimson demonic eyes rolled back, plunging it into a true illusion.
This SS-level Eye of Ten Thousand Demons had been enhanced after its last evolution, greatly extending its control duration.
The control time was now thirty seconds.
The charm effect had become infinitely extended.
If the Dark Moon Demon Soldier had realized Ling Zhan was about to use this talent, it could have countered it with an order-level skill.
But it hadn't realized.
So, when it was charmed and controlled, all it saw and experienced were illusions fabricated by Ling Zhan, while all its senses were blocked by the charm effect.
In the illusion.
It still stood strong in its barren space, a fearsome demon soldier.
But in reality.
Its eyes had rolled back, its body immobilized.
When Ling Zhan stabbed its heart, it was as simple as walking up to the frozen demon soldier and thrusting the blade in.
In the illusion, this played out as a sneak attack from behind.
Only upon its death.
Did the Dark Moon Demon Soldier awaken from the illusion to see the human who had slain it before its life faded entirely.
Ling Zhan, meanwhile, had just realized that his Eye of Ten Thousand Demons, powered by the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons' bloodline, had an overwhelming suppressive effect on the demon race.
Perhaps this bloodline made him a natural ruler over them.
Every skill he used seemed to have significantly enhanced effects against demon soldiers.
At least with the Eye of Ten Thousand Demons, it worked flawlessly, catching his foes off guard.
Realizing this, Ling Zhan…
Proceeded to the twelfth floor.
Decay Demon Soldier.
Level 125.
Master of Decay.
Wherever it passed, everything withered and rotted.
The audience outside fixed their eyes on the screen, eager to see Ling Zhan's next move.
But in the very next moment…
"What the hell! The screen went black again!"
"Damn it! Another space shroud!"
"What's going on? Does the Decay Demon Soldier have spatial shroud abilities too?"
Unsurprisingly.
Faced with the sudden blacked-out screen, the audience erupted in groans and complaints.
What pained them even more…
Was that the familiar scenario repeated itself!
A minute later, the screen cleared, revealing the Decay Demon Soldier—once capable of withering all—reduced to lifeless chunks of flesh!
