The Tyrant Azure Dragon, as one of the top-tier units at the fifth tier, possessed a robust life force within its body. Half of its life force was enough to contend with hundreds of demonized Razorfin Demons. Upon receiving this infusion of life force, the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte, now transformed, swayed its body in wild jubilation, and its tentacles danced with joy.

The lost tentacles regrew in a matter of breaths. What’s more, its massive body grew taller and larger once again.

Twenty-one meters.

Twenty-two meters.

In front of them, like a magical beanstalk that grew overnight from a fairy tale, it wildly expanded.

Its body continued to swell, extending thicker and sharper tentacles.

Half a minute later, a horrifying monster, standing over thirty meters tall, with a body as thick as a house and hundreds of tentacles swinging, loomed before them.

Countless tentacles shot out like cannonballs, their speed several times faster than before, instantly sending the Tyrant Azure Dragon, which weighed enough to crush a house, flying dozens of meters away.

Even the heavily armored Tyrant Azure Dragon couldn’t withstand the intensity of the blows, and its head was buzzing.

A radius of 150 meters centered on the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte became a forbidden zone of flailing tentacles.

Upon seeing that even the Tyrant Azure Dragon couldn’t take advantage in such a dense barrage, Ji Chen’s expression hardened.

He turned and said, “Alice, stay safe and seize the opportunity to disrupt the attacks of the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte.”

Alice, whose lower half had already returned to its fish-tail form, nodded solemnly.

Although the Soul Servants were no longer of much use, she still possessed strong psychic interference abilities. As long as the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte still had a soul, it would be affected.

Alice activated her skill, and the previously writhing body of the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte suddenly trembled. Its soul was impacted and suppressed, causing gaps in its previously impenetrable tentacle attacks. Seizing this opportunity, the Tyrant Azure Dragons launched another assault, tearing fiercely with their massive, sharp teeth.

They were determined to make up for their previous failure.

Ji Chen also didn’t idle. He had only brought the nine Tyrant Azure Dragons and Alice for the sake of faster travel, and his output was severely lacking. Only by personally joining the battle did they have a chance to defeat this enemy.

He fired a volley of water-based projectiles, but a surprising scene unfolded as the gray aura blocked all the attacks from the condensed water-based weapons.

It turned out that this gray aura had an effect of resisting spell attacks.

Observing the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte closely, if he were to look carefully, there was a faint layer of gray aura surrounding its body. This gray aura was what made the Tyrant Azure Dragon’s most potent breath attack useless, forcing them to resort to the most straightforward method of attack.

If they could break through this gray aura, the battle would undoubtedly become much simpler.

Ji Chen stared intently.

It seemed like he had discovered something. This gray aura appeared to be very similar to the negative energy field here.

Could it be because of the negative energy field?

If so, as long as they could move it out of the negative energy field, perhaps they could dispel this gray aura.

Nevertheless, the Amos Temple in the heart of the ruins emitted a negative energy field that stretched out for several kilometers in every direction. Trying to get the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte stationed here to leave this area and evade the field appeared impractical.

Now, there was only one way: Ji Chen had to use his Tidal Domain to cover the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte, which would push the negative energy field away.

The attack range of the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte was only 150 meters, but the maximum range of his Tidal Domain was a whopping 250 meters!

Without hesitation, Ji Chen moved to a spot over 200 meters away from the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte.

Then, he channeled his mana, and the domain began to confront the negative energy field, gradually expanding to its maximum of 250 meters.

As the negative energy field was slowly pushed out, the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte not only felt the suppression of the Tidal Domain but also saw the gray aura on its body recede like a receding tide, revealing its underlying flesh.

“Alice, disrupt it with all your strength!”

“Tyrant Azure Dragons, use your breath attack, full firepower!”

Upon hearing the command, both units unleashed their most powerful attacks.

The vast mental powers were like heavy hammers, slamming down heavily. The Amos Temple Dark Acolyte immediately felt dizzy, and its tentacles gradually came to a halt.

The Tyrant Azure Dragon, after holding back for so long, spewed out a massive icy breath attack. This time, it didn’t have the same minimal effect as before.

Like injecting liquid nitrogen, the ultra-low-temperature breath instantly froze several tentacles into icy lumps. With a gentle tap, they shattered into countless pieces, flesh and ice intermingled.

The rage of the nine Tyrant Azure Dragons poured out like a storm.

As tentacles froze and turned into fragments, the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte resembled a hedgehog with its spines removed, exposing the vulnerable flesh beneath.

Above the fleshy pillar, there were dozens of massive tumors pulsating continuously.

Ji Chen, who had been closely monitoring the battlefield, realized that this should be the weakness.

He immediately ordered the Tyrant Azure Dragons to attack.

The Amos Temple Dark Acolyte noticed that the Tyrant Azure Dragons were attempting to approach for an attack and vigorously swung the remaining tentacles to block them.

However, Alice, who had already prepared herself, exerted her mental attack again, causing the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte to stagnate once more.

The Tyrant Azure Dragons gained an excellent opportunity to attack, and their icy breath engulfed the tumors, causing them to burst.

One, two, ten tumors.

With the loss of each tumor, the massive fleshy pillar quivered in pain, and its vitality rapidly dwindled.

One restrained with mental attacks, the other inflicting damage with its breath, the coordination between Alice and the Tyrant Azure Dragons led the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte, bereft of the gray aura’s protection, into an irredeemable decline.

When all the tumors were destroyed, its vitality plummeted to the lowest, and the remaining tentacles flopped down helplessly, devoid of any resistance.

This was a far cry from its initial formidable appearance.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen, who had been maintaining the Tidal Domain to resist the negative energy field’s erosion, dared not delay and immediately ordered its complete elimination to prevent any unexpected twists.

He wasn’t a hero from a story who would make victory proclamations after the enemy’s defeat.

Only a dead enemy was a good enemy.

Receiving the command, the Tyrant Azure Dragons unhesitatingly released a simultaneous breath attack, instantly freezing the defenseless Amos Temple Dark Acolyte into an ice pillar.

Within the ice, its appearance remained lifelike, but its vitality rapidly faded.

“Ding- You have defeated the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte (Corrupted) and gained experience…”

Upon receiving the system prompt, Ji Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, this thing finally died.

This battle had been so intense.

It was undoubtedly the most challenging battle Ji Chen had ever encountered.

He felt like he had conquered one difficulty after another, just like going through a series of trials and ultimately defeating the final boss.

First, there was the negative energy field, which came with its own super DeBuff. Such a thing alone would make most ordinary players stay far away.

Then, under the influence of the energy field, he had to battle over a thousand Corrupted Double-Winged Demons. This challenge was enough to discourage the vast majority of players.

Next was the battle against the Corrupted Double-Winged Demons that the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte could resurrect. The difficulty of this stage was several times higher than the previous one.

Facing a group of enemies capable of unlimited resurrection would make anyone despair.

Next came the direct confrontation with the Amos Temple Dark Acolyte, whose combat prowess was formidable and not inferior to a Purple-Rare Tier hero.

Then, it was sacrificing oneself to become a Corrupted Amos Temple Dark Acolyte, raising the difficulty level several times over. Swinging impenetrable tentacles and absorbing the life force of enemies in large quantities, even if a thousand armies came, it would only make it continuously grow stronger. Who knew what monstrosity might be born from it.

If Ji Chen didn’t possess the Tidal Domain that could resist the negative energy field, preventing him from being at a disadvantage in combat, if he didn’t have Alice’s ability to mentally attack and restrain the enemy, and if he didn’t have the powerful Tyrant Azure Dragons for output.

Without these crucial factors, it would have been impossible to kill such a twisted Amos Temple Dark Acolyte. It would have escaped long ago.

Everything has its causes and effects.

It was Ji Chen’s past experiences and encounters, gradually accumulated and combined, that led to the current situation..
