"The first ability of this ancient demon is..."
"Oblivion (ss level): Pure demonic energy enhances its own attacks. Within ten seconds, any material touched by the attack will directly vanish under the influence of mysterious power, ignoring levels and defensive items."
"This is all the power of this ancient demon."
As the young voice finished speaking, Wen Yu fell into deep thought.
The ancient demon before him was very strong, or rather, the Ancient Demon Clan was very strong.
Without any skill enhancement, its basic attributes could reach the level of Wen Yu in combat state, and each ancient demon was like this!
In the entire world, how many hidden professions like soul masters are there? Very few.
The most terrifying part is that the ancient demon's skills are too powerful.
Every time it levels up, it gains a skill of A rank or above, and the higher the level, the stronger its power becomes. This level of power increase is a mountain pressing down on all humans.
The skill of Oblivion in front of Wen Yu was incredibly strong.
Because this is a skill that disregards level differences, one can imagine that if this ancient demon used this skill and struck a level ten professional, the result would be a one-hit kill. Skills that can achieve such an attack effect are extremely rare.
"Then, let’s begin."
The young voice echoed.
At the same time, the ancient demon opposite moved.
As if it had been asleep for a long time, the ancient demon first stretched its body, producing a series of crackling noises.
Then, a black light slowly flickered across its body, gradually merging into it and disappearing.
"Be careful, that’s Oblivion activating. As long as you can withstand for 10 seconds, this ability will be ineffective for a short time."
Before the words finished, the ancient demon charged towards Wen Yu rapidly. Though it had lost its reason, the demon's combat instincts told it that those 10 seconds would be a watershed moment to determine victory or defeat; not a second could be wasted.
The physical attributes of the ancient demon were not much different from Wen Yu, and in a combat state, Wen Yu could keep up with the demon's speed.
Seeing the ancient demon approaching, Wen Yu quickly retreated, pushing off with his feet to leap back over 5 meters.
This retreat bought Wen Yu an extra 0.5 seconds.
Then, just as he steadied himself, the outline of the ancient demon was already very close.
A whistling sound came as one of the demon’s left arms punched towards Wen Yu, while the other hand, with fingers spread wide, slammed down from above, taking advantage of its height. At the same time, a slender tail viciously stabbed from the right.
The ancient demon unexpectedly attacked Wen Yu from three directions at once, and the black light flickered ominously. In just a moment, Wen Yu felt an overwhelming sense of danger rush towards him.
There was no defense to speak of; being hit meant certain death from Oblivion.
Wen Yu’s combat experience from a year in the apocalypse came into play. Although the ancient demon's combat instincts were strong, how could mere instincts compare to life-and-death combat experience unless they reached the ultimate level?
Wen Yu swiftly sidestepped the downward claw strike, then struck down with his war blade, powerfully blocking the punch aimed at him. The immense force diverted the ancient demon’s left fist, and at the right moment, he seized the tip of the tail where the black light didn’t cover it, then used his waist strength to fling the ancient demon away.
Afterward, Wen Yu immediately turned and fled.
He had discovered a problem: his soul strike was completely ineffective against the ancient demon before him.
This was also Wen Yu’s oversight; as a puppet, how could it have a soul?
Originally, in Wen Yu's plan, the immense pain and damage from the soul strike would allow him to finish off the ancient demon with just a few dozen strikes if he seized the opportunity. Moreover, the pain from the soul strike was enough to turn the weak-willed into mere targets that could only take hits.
