Doomsday Roulette

A dark shadow appeared suddenly, right next to Sky Pillar, and in its hands were two bone daggers.

These were crafted from the bones of mutated creatures that Ye Zhongming had hunted over the past few days, previously hanging at his waist.

But after he used his clone technique, they appeared in the shadow's hands!

Regarding this, even the clerical personnel remembered it clearly. There was no way around it; an evolver's memory and their ability to capture their surroundings instantly far surpassed that of ordinary people.

But how did these two bone daggers end up in the shadow's hands?

More importantly, many people possessed the ability of Double Poison Shadow, including Commander Cheng Liuji himself.

Yet no one should be able to wield weapons like the shadow could!

This wasn't just about skill practice; it exceeded the skill itself.

It was like everyone practiced wolf prevention techniques, like grabbing chests or sweeping legs, then suddenly someone produced the effect of wolf repellent spray.

No matter how you thought about it, something was off.

The advantages of Double Poison Shadow are well-known: defense and poison attacks. This has been recognized since the Star-Eye Clan created the ability, and now a disruptive scene unfolded before their eyes.

Puff, puff!

The sounds of two bubbles being pierced rang out almost simultaneously, as the eyes on Sky Pillar's two arms were stabbed.

The screams could be felt by those watching, even through the light barrier.

Many were so shocked they couldn't speak, and one thought kept creeping into their minds.

If it were them... no, if it were Commander Cheng Liuji personally using the Double Poison Shadow ability, could they strike Sky Pillar like this?

In the midst of their shock, a third scream from Sky Pillar echoed.

This time, it wasn't caused by the shadow, but by Ye Zhongming, who had been sent flying earlier and had returned to its side without anyone noticing.

His short sword pierced into another eye on its arm.

Those watching felt pain for the ninth-level creature as they saw the liquid flying through the air.

Sky Pillar, under attack, would naturally not relent. After a brief hit, it retaliated. Its arms swung around, striking both the shadow wielding the daggers and Ye Zhongming, sending the latter flying again and causing the shadow to burst apart.

Upon seeing this, the colored man could no longer hold back and leaped forward.

He wanted to get closer and find a better angle to verify if his guesses were correct.

Aslan and the masked man also set aside their myriad questions, following closely behind the masked man.

Reaching a spot nearer to the battlefield, the two overheard the colored man mumbling two words.

“Too slow.”

Aslan held back for a moment but couldn't help but ask quietly, “What’s too slow?”

They were now very close to the battlefield, at a point where even the garbage could sense them. Speaking too loudly would draw attention, and their special training instructor would face penalties for breaking regulations.

“Sky Pillar’s speed has slowed down, not just in movement but also in attack speed.”

The colored man explained briefly, not elaborating too much since he wasn't entirely sure himself.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Zhongming landed and stood up, throwing his short sword. Unfortunately, the direction... was a bit off.

It didn’t land on Sky Pillar, but rather above its head.

A collective sigh arose from those in front of the light barrier.

They had witnessed Ye Zhongming and the shadow shatter three of Sky Pillar’s eyes, and those who previously held little hope for Ye Zhongming suddenly became hopeful.

Indeed, while Sky Pillar was a precious creature raised by the Star-Eye Clan, in the end, it was just a mutated life form.

But Ye Zhongming was different; even though he was labeled as garbage, fundamentally he was half from the Star-Eye Clan.

As long as he passed the assessment and completed the novice battle, he would become companions and kin with those standing before the light barrier.
