Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 14: Initial Development of Power (2)
I easily destroyed several of my avatars. The bone spurs continued to shoot out with unabated force. The real target was Thomas, who was facing away from me and trying to use Houston's cover to break through Tao Tao's interception and attack Had directly. It was not prepared for this sudden attack from behind. When noticed it temporarily and tried to dodge, it was too late. The bone spurs were so fast that it could not dodge in time. A streak of fire flashed by, and most of the bone spurs were sunk into its back, leaving only a small section of the tail more than two inches long exposed. Its body shook violently, and even the ongoing attack was interrupted, becoming extremely scattered and disorganized. It was obviously seriously injured.
Taotao, who had been prepared for this, would not miss such a good opportunity. He rushed and bumped into it, and "rewarded" it with two "Dragon Claw Hands", "pushing" Thomas in front of Khufu, and then it was responsible for resisting the attacks of Qitrei and others with all its strength, while Khufu pounced on him and took advantage of the fact that Thomas had not recovered from the blow, and swung the Fire Bone Staff to beat him wildly. Thomas, who was already seriously injured, was hit hard again and again, so he naturally could not hold on for too long. He tried to fly away several times, but he was weak and exhausted and could not use his strength, so he was suppressed by Khufu. The other companions were also unable to provide support in time due to the restraint of Taotao, Hader and Guben, and finally could not hold on and became the first casualty in this decisive battle.
After showing off his "power" for a while, Kekexili was entangled by the blood mist that I kept spitting out, and was "unable" to continue to expand his victory. The accidental death of Thomas due to Kekexili's "accidental injury" broke the balance that Qitlei and his men were barely maintaining. With one less "fly" disturbing everything, Khufu and Taotao had a clear advantage in strength with four against three. Unless Hades directly intervened, they were doomed to fail and would never be able to win the challenge again.
With the spare strength, they could show mercy and not kill them all. They just needed to make them lose their ability to resist. The first one to fall seriously injured was Silando. The flaming flying snake Qitlei could not hold out for too long under the joint attack of Taotao and Guben. Only Houston saw that the situation was not good and turned into a bat and quickly escaped. Considering that it was not very easy to deal with the lava blood bats that were determined to escape, and there was also Kekexili that needed to be "dealt with", Silando and Qitlei also needed to spend some time and patience to "persuade" them, so they had to let Houston go. Anyway, as long as they were careful and alert, it shouldn't cause any big waves.
Leaving Gu Ben to monitor Silando and Qitlei who were lying on the ground unable to resist any longer, Khufu, Taotao and Had turned around and joined forces to besiege Kekexili. With three against one, we had the upper hand in strength. In addition, Kekexili deliberately "let us win", so we soon seriously injured it and killed it. During this time, I kept reminding it to give up resistance and try its best to cooperate with my actions. When it was on the verge of death, I, who had been watching from the side, quickly activated the "Spirit Sealing Tablet" and successfully sealed it. I finally got through the most difficult hurdle and initially fulfilled my promise to it.
The next thing to do is of course to deal with Silando and Qitlei. They both have names and belong to a special type of undead, and both have strength above eighth-level lower-order magical beasts. Even if I use the "blood transformation" ability, it is impossible to subdue them by force. The only way is to patiently carry out "ideological work" and convince them to agree to cooperate with me, then there is hope of successfully subduing them.
They lost to me in the challenge and failed to complete the task assigned by Hades. This is a big fault in itself. I don't know what punishment they will receive afterwards. From the perspective of interests, it should be the best way out to choose to "surrender" to me . Qitlei's situation is similar to that of Kekexili. For personal survival and development, they have to choose to surrender to Hades. Seeing that the most powerful Kekexili was sealed and the most loyal Thomas was killed, he surrendered helplessly under the threat of "those who obey me will live and those who disobey me will die". And Silando has been annoyed by Hades' deliberate suppression. After Taotao, who also has the opportunity to evolve into a hell dragon, showed up, and witnessed Taotao's evolution from the initial pony to the fire dragon beast that surpassed it in strength in less than a year, after I outlined a better prospect for it, it finally agreed to become my subordinate and use my power to evolve into the hell dragon that it longed for and could "soar into the sky" as soon as possible.
After getting their promise to fully cooperate with my capture operation, I didn't waste any more time and immediately used the "Blood Transformation" ability, which increased my basic mental strength by 12%. In addition, the "Death Control" increased the "Soul Contract" success rate by 25%. After continuous attempts, it took more than 20 minutes to capture the flaming flying snake Qitlei and the fire-bone giant lizard Xilando one by one before the effect of "Blood Transformation" disappeared. With two more capable subordinates, Hufu and Taotao, and the Kokoxili who was basically in my pocket, a force has been initially formed on the "Hell Volcano". Finally, my work was not in vain, and Daxiu's sacrifice was not in vain.
Qitlei's strength is roughly equivalent to that of an eighth-level mid-level monster. He holds a flame whip in his right hand that can be hard or soft and can be extended. The hard whip is only about one meter long, which is used as a close-range weapon. The soft whip can be extended to five or six meters, which is used as a soft whip for medium-range attacks. His skill is "Phantom Special Attack", which can create dozens of phantoms at the same time to cover the main body to launch a surprise attack. The actual combat effect should have been good, but he encountered Taotao's "Flame Dragon Wushuang". Under the sweep of the fire dragon, the main body phantoms had nowhere to hide and did not get too many opportunities to play. The skill "Fire Dance Silver Snake" is to quickly swing the soft whip, as if dozens of fire snakes are dancing wildly. Being hit by any fire snake can cause the same damage effect. It is a range attack skill.
Silando's strength is slightly weaker than Qitlei's, and his mind is not as flexible, probably the strength of a lower-level eighth-level monster. His skill "Jumping Assault" combines jumping and attacking together to increase the suddenness of the attack. His skill "Bounce" curls up into a ball and bounces out to hit the enemy. During the skill, his defense ability is five times that of the normal state, and it has a strong "knockback" effect.
