Whether it was Halruaa, the wizard kingdom of the remnants of Netheril, or the reclusive great arcanists, or other towns and countries around the Anauroch Desert, they all reacted in various ways.

Among them, the mages of Halrua wanted to try to contact him and see if they could exchange some of the lost magical knowledge and technology; the archmages expressed contempt and disdain for Telramant Tanshuul, who had defected to the goddess of night, Shar. Among them, Ovo had already begun to prepare for a war, intending to teach this younger generation a memorable lesson;

As for the areas surrounding the desert, the Silvermoon Alliance has secretly strengthened its vigilance under the leadership of Alastor.

As long as Ghost City has the intention of expanding to the west and north, she will immediately choose to activate certain common defense clauses of the trade alliance and bring in Silvermoon City and Waterdeep City.

Coupled with the terrifying military strength of the West Coast Empire, as well as the elects of several magic goddesses and the battle-hardened magician group, it is guaranteed that they can deal a heavy blow to the supreme city lord.

Maybe even the floating city will change its name after the battle.

After all, Alustriel is one of the very few people who know some of the abilities of Zosi the Planeswalker, and understands how terrifying and unreasonable the latter's ability to create cards is.

However, compared to the confident Silvermoon Alliance, places like Cormanthor, the Valley and Cormyr are not so calm.

Especially for Assan IV, who had just experienced internal and external troubles, he had finally used the borrowed loans to quell the monsters rampant in the country and temporarily suppressed the increasingly centrifugal tendencies of the nobles in the country. He had originally planned to restore the prestige of the royal family, concentrate on internal affairs and production, and strive to repay all these loans as soon as possible.

But who could have imagined that before he could even catch his breath, a ghost city that had disappeared for thousands of years in history suddenly appeared in the desert.

In just a few days, several of the largest nomadic tribes were either incorporated or annihilated, and a barbarian army of tens of thousands of people had been gathered.

What's even more terrible is that these guys call themselves the "New Netheril", making it clear that they want to take over all the areas originally ruled by Netheril.

Unfortunately, the land where the Kingdom of Cormyr is located belongs to the Netherese thousands of years ago.

And a glance at the map will tell you that the geographical location here is extremely advantageous. Not only is the waterway network well-connected and very suitable for farming, but the southern region is also adjacent to the Falling Star Sea and is a very good natural harbor.

Once taken, they can use it as a base to expand to the northeast, and both Sembia and the Vast Land can be easily taken into their possession.

As a legendary warrior and invincible military commander, Athan IV was well aware of how great the threat posed by the floating city was.

Not to mention the infinite energy provided by the Core of Misera, and the cheap and massive "quasi-magic items" created on this basis, which can exert terrifying destructive power in battle.

Simply having the floating city fly overhead and dropping rocks would be enough to destroy the defenses and morale of any city in Cormyr.

The most important thing is that Yasan IV has no money at all now.

In order to demonstrate the generosity and kindness of the royal family, he used all the remaining money and food to rescue the civilians invaded by monsters. Not only was the national treasury extremely poor, but several granaries were so empty that rats could almost starve to death.

So it's not that the Kingdom of Cormyr didn't want to take action, but it really couldn't move, and could only watch the other side expand unscrupulously in the Anauroch Desert.

On the other hand, the tyrant who had just unified the Moon Sea, Fuzol Chamberlain, was also very afraid of the emergence of the City of Ghosts, and sent a large number of spies and detectives upstream along the Teisse River into the desert to gather intelligence.

He really wanted to know what purpose was behind the sudden return of Ghost City.

Is it the evil plan of Shar, the goddess of night, or the idea of Telramant Tanshul himself?

In short, since this floating city that survived the Netheril era reappeared on the continent of Faerun, it has triggered a series of chain reactions.

Especially those ambitious ghost princes, who had no intention of hiding their identities at all, led their teams to search for relics, artifacts, and knowledge from the Netheril era.

It wasn't long before the homes of some mages, nobles, scholars, and wealthy businessmen who possessed these things were invaded.

Those who were more unlucky were killed on the spot without even a chance to escape.

The City of Ghosts has proved through its actions that it is by no means a good person, and it has no interest in coexisting in a friendly manner with the backward, stupid and ignorant city-states and countries on the continent of Faerun today.

Just the opposite!

In their eyes, apart from a few magical powers like Halrua, Cyre, Mulhorand, and the West Coast Empire, the rest of the forces were not worthy of having an equal dialogue with them.

And because it controlled the "Black Road", the only safe trade route across the Anauroch Desert, the City of Ghosts also began to export cheap magic items to the North and the Moon Sea. At the same time, it purchased a large number of slaves from the Moon Sea controlled by Zhentil Keep, among which children aged ten to twelve were the top priority.

The reason is very simple. Children of this age have not yet formed their world views, so they can be turned into subjects of the new Netheril Empire through training, education and brainwashing.

Those with sufficient intelligence will be sent to learn magic, and those with insufficient intelligence will be sent to the church or the army to be trained as priests or warriors.

Unlike those superficial people who are impatient to launch wars of aggression because they think they are powerful, Telramant Tanshul is a great arcanist who has received elite education and understands the importance of sustainable development.

Due to Ghost City's long stay in the Shadow Plane, most of its population has turned into semi-shadow creatures and no longer has the ability to reproduce.

Therefore, if one wants to revive Netheril, the first thing to do is to restore the population base, cultivate a group of spellcasters who are loyal to themselves and the floating city, and then continue to grow like a snowball.

Through his most trusted assistant, Hajhona's previous investigation into the current situation in Faerun, Telramant Tanshul understood that the world today is very different from the period of Netheril's rule.

Whether it was the endless and insatiable adventurers, the large number of voters created during the second generation of the Magic Goddess, or the major event of the gods walking on the earth as saints in the turbulent years, as well as the arrival of the mage Zuo Si, they all made him very cautious when making some decisions.

As for those scattered ghost princes, it was more like a temptation to this world that was both familiar and strange.

He wanted to know the current attitudes of various forces towards the Ghost City, and then identify which allies could be cooperated with and which were mortal enemies.

However, the Supreme City Lord did not know that one of his most outstanding sons, the prince with a total arcane spellcasting level of LV26, Brenas Tanshul, has now sneaked into the West Coast Empire with his men and has set his sights on Zuo Si, the emperor of the empire.

His purpose was very simple, which was to seize the Netherese scrolls and a large number of treasures and artifacts from the Netherese era from the latter.

After all, as Zuo Si opened up his vast reserve of magical knowledge to all mages and warlocks throughout the empire, much of the theoretical knowledge obtained from the scrolls of Netheril quickly spread in the form of notes.

Considering his identity as the Chosen One of the Goddess of Magic, many people guessed that he had at least a complete set of fifty scrolls of Netheril.

What's more, there are several powerful artifacts created during the Netheril era, such as the Death Moon Orb, the Seat of Sarkheel, the Mithril Chains of Sorrow, and the Shadow Core.

Brenas Tanshul believed that as long as he launched a successful raid and sneaked into Zuo Si's Mage Tower treasury, he would definitely get unimaginable rich rewards.

Especially a set of fifty-chapter Netheril scrolls. Once you get them, you can not only gain a vast amount of knowledge from them, but also improve your existing arcane spellcasting level after reading each one, and even surpass your powerful father to become the most powerful wizard in Ghost City.

At this moment, this daring ghost prince was living in a luxurious hotel in Askatla, gazing at the towering giant wizard tower inside through an invisible magic barrier, his eyes revealing naked and undisguised greed.

After several minutes, he turned around and asked his deputy, "How is it? Have you figured out the situation in the Mage Tower these days? Can you plant a nail in it by bribing and controlling the apprentices and servants?"

The assistant, who had also transformed himself into a semi-shadow form, immediately shook his head and replied: "I'm very sorry, I think your plan may not work.

According to nearby residents, the tower was no longer open to the public after a nearby public school began operating.

People inside can't come out, and people outside can't come in either.

I once sent people to try to enter through the sewers, but all the spies never came back alive.

Obviously, there are strong anti-invasion measures around and inside the Mage Tower.

Maybe there are a lot of traps, or maybe some very troublesome summoned creatures.

The bottom line is that I don't think invading such a well-defended place is a wise choice."

"Completely closed?"

Brenas Tanshul narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

He didn't seem to be very surprised by this result.

After all, as the only residence and palace of the Emperor of the West Coast Empire in this city, the area around the Mage Tower has long been designated as a restricted area, and anyone who approaches will be immediately intercepted by the soldiers stationed here.

In serious cases, the offender may be arrested and jailed for a few days, and those with bad intentions may be subjected to torture and have their memory read.

Even in the City of Ghosts, if an ordinary person dares to approach the residence of the Supreme City Lord without permission, he will be arrested and interrogated.

The only thing that puzzled Brenas Tanshul was that if this tower was completely closed to the outside world, how could Zuo Si give orders and instructions to the senior bureaucrats and managers of the Masked Mages Guild in the city to ensure that the city would not be out of his control?

"Yes, it is completely closed. At least in the past few days, I can't see anyone coming in or out."

The assistant once again gave an affirmative answer.

He didn't want the prince he was loyal to to be blinded by the huge benefits and order an attack.

Although from the perspective of Ghost City, a third-rate spellcasting organization like the Masked Mage Guild is not worth mentioning at all, and most of the guards patrolling and enforcing the law in the city are not a threat.

But the problem is that it is not easy to break through a tightly defended wizard tower. Even if you succeed by chance, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

What's more, Zuo Si himself is not a weakling, but the chosen one of the Goddess of Magic, possessing legendary-level strength in both arcane and divine magic.

The City of Ghosts gathered intelligence and figured out the terrifying power that Silver Fire possessed, so they had long since listed several of the Magic Goddess's elects as targets of the highest danger level.

But Brenas Tanshul obviously didn't want to give up just like that. Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled to comfort his deputy: "Don't worry, I'm not so stupid as to attack a fortress guarded by a powerful spellcaster.

There will also be no direct conflict with the emperor of the empire.

What I have to do is wait patiently for the other party to leave, seize the opportunity to sneak in, and steal the treasures that should belong to Netheril.

Then take them back to the Ghost City safely.

In fact, I have already used the artifact to locate it.

As soon as the owner of the tower leaves, we can start trying to enter the interior of the tower."

As he said this, Brenas Tanshul subconsciously touched an amulet around his neck.

Needless to say, this amulet is also a divine artifact created in the Netheril era, and it can sense a person's location through countless magical barriers, puzzles, and protections.

And the person he is currently targeting is Zuo Si himself.

This means that as soon as Zuo Si leaves the Mage Tower, the Ghost Prince will immediately notice it and "take advantage of the opportunity".

But Brenas Tanshul had no idea how many horrible things were waiting for him in the wizard tower in the city of Askatla.

As Zuo Si's base in Faerun, there are more than ten liches of the Arcane Order who are stationed in the tower for a long time to study and improve themselves, and all of them are wizards who have crossed the threshold of legend.

There are also a large number of werewolves and goblins in the underground part, especially the strengthened dire wolf army.

In addition, the Mage Tower itself has independent consciousness and intelligence, and can draw energy at will to release any arcane magic from one to nine rings.

The underground prison holds a giant hound and its offspring, which have already shown obvious characteristics of void creatures.

All kinds of giant dragons, half-dragons, mechanical constructs, all kinds of bizarre undead creatures, countless demon bat servants, and a forging workshop staffed by nearly three thousand gray dwarf master craftsmen, are just a tiny tip of the iceberg of the powerful force inside the Mage Tower.

The demons from the ninth level also stationed half of their legion here, including more than a hundred legendary hell demons and insect demons.

Do you think this is the end? No! This is just the beginning.

The female version of the son of God, Sarevok, who can transform into a killer, the white bear Artio who possesses the power of the beast king, the seraph Nimidona, the Saren spirit Agatha who controls the shadow energy core, and the leader of the Flinn Demon Sunflower, Varis...

Finally, there is the ancient infernal silver dragon Aidalon, who has just hatched a dragon egg and returned with her son and husband.

In the face of this force, even the fighting incarnation of God would have to suffer a lot.

What's more, Zuo Si had already set up more than a dozen magic mazes throughout the entire Askatla.

One of them is that anyone whose level is above LV15 who comes in will be instantly sensed by the consciousness of the Mage Tower and will be monitored 24 hours a day.

Brenas Tanshul had no idea that his every move had been completely exposed.

The reason why he was not touched was mainly because Zuo Si's entire attention was now focused on the upcoming war of gods, and he had no time to care about such a minor character as the so-called "Prince of Ghosts".

Influenced by veteran great arcanists such as Ovo and Larloch, he even ignored the Supreme City Lord Telamant Tanshul.

"Master, are you sure you don't need to deal with those pesky flies outside?"

Aidalon, who remained in his elf form, asked proactively.

Affected by the power of hell, her originally silver long hair had turned black at this moment, and her eyes were emitting a faint light that symbolized evil.

Zuo Si, who was admiring the fierce fighting style of his second disciple in the training ground, immediately smiled and shook his head: "That's not necessary.

Brenas and the City of Ghosts behind him pose no threat to me.

So let us enjoy his performance as if we were watching a monkey show.

After all, this wizard tower has never suffered any invasion since its establishment, so we might as well just take it as a test of its defensive capabilities.

Besides, don't you think Gulaser needs a suitable enemy for a real fight now?"

Hearing these words, the ancient silver dragon also turned its gaze to the petite and slender elf girl in the training ground, and the corners of its mouth twitched slightly uncontrollably.

The latter is currently fighting hard with Sharevok, who is many levels superior to him in both weight and skills.

Even though one of her arms was completely broken, her internal organs were severely damaged and she kept vomiting blood, her originally delicate and beautiful face was swollen like a pig's head, her nose was completely collapsed, and almost half of her teeth were lost, she still didn't cry out in pain, nor did she have any intention of stopping.

Quite the opposite!

The more severely his body was injured, the more terrifying Guilaser Liaton's performance became.

With the help of the Moon Blade in her hand and the magical power she possessed, she dodged the devastating attacks of the giant Sharevok like a nimble hummingbird.

And once they find an opening, they will immediately face the two-handed giant sword that is powerful enough to split themselves in half, and directly cut the tendons of the opponent's hands and feet, or go around behind to stab the kidneys, liver, back of the head, back of the heart and other vital parts.

Aidalon had seen many strong and determined warriors before, but this was the first time in his ten thousand years of life that he had encountered someone as crazy as the elf girl and completely fearless of death.

In her opinion, Guilaser's fighting style was more like that of an offensive assassin than a warrior, who pushed speed and agility to the extreme, and all his actions were only for one purpose, which was to kill the target in the fastest and most efficient way.

During this period, whether you will be injured, disabled, or even die is not a consideration.

Even a top warrior like Sharevok was inevitably injured by her crazy attack.

For example, the tendon behind the right knee was cut once, and the left kidney was also stabbed.

If the Son of God did not possess infinite regenerative abilities, an ordinary person's body would have been cold by now.

Therefore, Guilaser's growth rate during this period can be said to be quite amazing.

At least with the extra abilities granted to its owner by the Moon Blade, it is definitely capable of killing melee professions below level 20.

Unfortunately, she was still too young in front of Sharevok, and was quickly caught by him. He swung his fist and knocked her to the ground with a bang, causing her to faint. Her cervical vertebrae were even broken on the spot, and her body twitched uncontrollably.

When the nature god nearby saw this, he immediately stepped forward and cast a powerful healing spell.

The next second...

The elf girl got up from the ground again and rushed towards Sharevok without hesitation.

No fear!

There is no retreat! There is only courage and determination to move forward, as well as the most primitive and pure desire for power.

"She has a beautiful soul, doesn't she?"

Zuo Si commented with a faint smile on his face.

Aidalong nodded in agreement: "It is indeed beautiful, and it also exudes a dark aura brought by strong hatred. This is a precious gem that still emits a dazzling light even without being carved. I wonder what a magnificent scene her future life will be like."

“Haha, who knows what will happen in the future.

If Brennus Tanshul dares to invade the Mage Tower after I leave, I will capture him and detain him until I return.

Remember, don't kill him, I still have a use for him."

After saying this, Zuo Si winked at Davidian, and then the two of them activated the cross-dimensional teleportation and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Because today is the day of the final battle for the ownership of the Blood Throne, we need to go to the Kingdom of Baal to put an end to it all.

Not only them, but also Melisand, Abazig, Balthazar, Aberdair, Imon, Sancho and all the people involved, also appeared in the huge palace exuding a strong smell of blood through the independent space they established in the country.

Standing in the center of the hall, one can clearly see blood plasma flowing down from the skylight above one's head like a waterfall, then pouring onto the blood-red throne inlaid with countless skulls, then flowing along the grooves in the throne to the ground, and finally flowing from the grooves deliberately left in the ground to the pool of blood not far ahead that will never be filled.

You don't need to ask to know that this is the core area of the Kingdom of Baal and also the location of the Blood Throne.

Even if he is not the son of Baal and does not have Baal's power and divinity, he can still feel the amazing power contained in the throne, as well as the two priesthoods of death and murder.

"Finally... this fateful moment is about to arrive."

The Seraphim servants sent by Io, the god above gods, descended from the sky and scanned all the sons of Baal, quasi-gods, and demigods present who were qualified to compete for the throne with their eyes shining with golden light.

"Is there any special rules for today's battle?"

Zuo Si asked in a half-joking tone.

“No, you worry too much.

This is the Outer Planes, so you can use your strength to the fullest until the final winner is determined.

If there are followers or believers, it would be no problem to summon them to join the battle."

Having said this, the Seraph suddenly paused, then fixed his gaze on Davian, the implication of his words was self-evident.

"Wait a minute! According to you, we are the only ones qualified to seize the Blood Throne now?"

Sancho suddenly interrupted.

Because he didn't know why, but he always felt that something was wrong.

The Seraph nodded slightly and responded, "Yes, according to the instructions of His Majesty Io, you are the last few people who are qualified to be deified. The rest of the Sons of Baal, even if they are still alive, will be deprived of all their power afterwards."

"What if Baal is resurrected?" Zuo Si also asked.

As a wizard who often uses the wishing spell, he would not ignore any possible loopholes.

"This situation is not included. Because I just talked about people, not gods."

The Seraphic Servant gave a clear answer very straightforwardly.

moment!

Zuo Si realized what the other party wanted to express, and subconsciously glanced at the sons of Baal who he did not recognize not far away, trying to find out in which body Baal was hiding.

Or maybe he is still hiding somewhere and has not shown up yet? "Human? Am I not a god now?"

The blue dragon Abazige frowned and questioned.

In his opinion, possessing such powerful divine power and being able to accept faith and bestow divine arts, he has long been a true demigod.

Melissan, who was in the same camp, was also puzzled.

The Seraph God Servant was silent for a moment and replied, "No, at least not a complete god.

Because now you are just the carriers of divine power.

There is neither a priesthood nor a leaving of the mortal body to become completely spiritual and acquire a divine essence.

So even though he has the power of a demigod, strictly speaking he is still one step away from becoming a true god."

"So how can we take the last step?"

Abazig was breathing rapidly and was obviously impatient.

"It's very simple. Defeat all the people here, either by killing them or by making them voluntarily give up Baal's power. Then I can guide you to complete the last step of becoming a god."

After saying that, the Seraph God Servant spread his wings and flew into the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After all, she is just an observer, a guide, and a supervisor, and cannot get involved in the fight between the Sons of Bhaal.

As soon as the Seraph's servant left, Abazig rushed towards the unfamiliar sons of Baal like a tiger into a flock of sheep, and started slaughtering them at lightning speed.

Although several Sons of Bhaal have demonstrated the ability to transform into killers, it is completely useless in the face of the power of a demigod.

Most of them were killed in just a dozen seconds, and some of the unlucky ones were even bitten to death and eaten alive by the blue dragon.

Every time he ate a brother or sister, Abazig's body would expand exponentially and a terrifying light would burst out of his eyes.

"Teacher, do you want to take action?" Sancho asked with a serious expression.

"Why are you still hesitating at this time! The more sons of Baal that guy devours, the stronger his power will become."

Having said that, Aberdare, who never liked to think, transformed directly and rushed forward like a hungry beast.

Since this was an out-and-out war between gods, he and Imoen were the only ones who came from the entire team.

As for the others, they were not even qualified to participate, and everyone, including Jaheira, could only wait outside.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Aberdare taking action, Sancho naturally could not stay where he was and continue waiting. He and Imoen immediately began to cast spells infused with divine power to provide support.

For a moment, all the Sons of Baal except Balthazar were caught up in a chaotic fight of seizing and devouring each other.

Although they tried to unite to fight against the most powerful Abazig, the effect was not ideal.

Even Aberdare and Sancho could only delay the Demigod Blue Dragon's advance a little bit. They were knocked away by the tail sweeps and dragon wing attacks more than once, and rolled on the ground in a mess.

With the blessing of divine power, even the most ordinary physical attack can produce unimaginable destructive power.

As for Imoen, who is not even a quasi-god yet, he can only make do with his supporting role and add some strengthening spells to his teammates.

Most attacks and control spells cannot pass the demigod's terrifying immunity, resistance and exemption.

However, compared to the fierce battle breaking out in the distance, Zuo Si's side seemed very quiet.

He took Davian to confront Melissan and Balthazar who were about 20 meters ahead.

Obviously, Melisand didn't know that Balthazar had already reached a cooperation with Zuo Si, and thought that the monk was still on her side.

At least I will not turn against you easily before all other enemies are dealt with.

"Don't you want to say something? Like why you turned against the god of murder you serve, and what made you want to become a goddess instead?"

Zuo Si was the first to break the silence and gave Melissa a meaningful smile.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."

Melisand pretended to be puzzled.

Although she had shown some of her divine power to Abazig, she did not reveal her true intentions, but instead fooled him by using her identity as a chosen one of Bal.

What's more, there is now a Balthazar by his side.

Zuo Si sneered and asked back, "Do you not understand or are you unwilling to admit it?

At this point, do you think you can still hide? Or do you think Balthazar hasn't seen through your true face yet? Don't be naive.

Your attempt to secretly absorb divine power and divinity, and even to completely control the Blood Throne, has long been exposed to his sight."

As the last word came out of her mouth, Melissan's face changed drastically, and she subconsciously turned around to confirm with the monk beside her.

But who knew that Balthazar, who had been planning for a long time, didn't even say a word, and directly used his most proficient secret technique [Flame Sun Force]. His whole body suddenly released a dazzling light, accompanied by a temperature as hot as the sun, and then kicked out at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

boom!!!!!!

The air explosion caused by the speed exceeding the speed of sound kicked Melissa into the air.

Before she could recover from her shock, Balthazar had already used the monk's unique spell-like ability [Escape] to teleport directly to a higher place, infusing some powerful energy into his arms, and then swooped down with all his strength, first smashing Melisand's chest with his elbow, causing the ribs that supported and protected her chest to cave in instantly, and the blinding blood gushed out of her nose and mouth.

But that's not all.

After the heavy blow, Balthazar used both fists to attack at the same time, hitting Melissan's head and abdomen at lightning speed, once again causing terrible internal injuries.

Finally, the whole person seemed to be in an overload state, waving his arms until countless afterimages were completely invisible, and using fists that were as hard as refined gold to hit from the sky to the ground.

At the moment when it was about to touch the ground, all the divine symbols on his body used to seal the power of Baal suddenly flashed with a light brighter than the sun, and collapsed in an instant.

The divine power belonging to the God of Murder instantly gushed out from his body, forming a red mist that was thicker than blood.

Balthazar injected this divine power directly into his fist and struck Melisand's head with all his strength.

Bang! Boom!!! ...

The latter was like a tattered rag doll. Half of his head exploded instantly under the blow, and blood and brain splashed in the air like raindrops.

No words can describe the strong impact of this visual image.

The aftermath of Melissane's fall to the ground alone destroyed everything within a radius of more than 50 kilometers outside the Blood Throne Hall, and formed a huge crater like that formed by a meteorite impact.

The shock wave of light tore apart hundreds of thousands of petitioners and demons nearby.

Abazig and other sons of Baal who were fighting frantically stopped their actions at the same time, staring in amazement at the legendary monk whose clothes were completely burned by the [Flaming Sun Force], revealing his muscular body and terrifying aura.

Obviously, they couldn't believe even in their dreams that this guy who had never fought with anyone could actually burst out such astonishing power.

Especially the last blow infused with divine power, which had already surpassed the limits of mortals. Even Abazig, a demigod, was not sure whether he could still survive after being hit.

"call--"

After completing a whole set of smooth combos, Balthazar let out a long breath, retracting the sun-like scorching light and temperature emanating from his body, and a faint smile appeared on his originally serious face.

"Well, I did a pretty good job, didn't I?"

"It was more than good. It was brilliant. Look at the looks on the other people's faces. They were stunned by your performance."

Zuo Si generously gave praise and applause to the other party.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that a monk could achieve such a level.

Especially the last punch infused with divine power, which clearly contained the rules of killing and death, and could kill any target without divine or quasi-divine protection in an instant.

To put it simply, it is an alternative form of [Instant Kill of All Things].

Even if a legendary wizard has all the magical protection, he will still be penetrated and killed. There is no logic at all. It is exactly the same as Sarevok's [Death Raid].

It's just that [Death Strike] is a probability trigger, and Sharevok himself cannot control it well.

But Balthazar can perfectly control this power and activate it when needed.

The latter is obviously much more sophisticated than the former.

Based on this alone, he deserves the title of the strongest of the five races.

"Thank you for your compliment, but I don't have time to listen to this right now. Before the evil and filthy power of Baal begins to pollute my mind and soul, I will kill Abazig and put an end to it all."

As he said this, Balthazar turned his gaze towards the demigod blue dragon, whose face was filled with shock and disbelief.

The next second...

The monk switched from [Flame Sun Force] to [Moon Shadow Force], and at the same time drew strength from the shadow plane to activate the secret technique [Shadow Posture]. He was instantly shrouded in darkness, and then completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

To be precise, at this moment he has temporarily jumped into the gap between the material world and the shadow plane.

Unless he jumps out on his own initiative, no one knows where he is.

The disappearance of Balthazar undoubtedly made Abazig extremely nervous. He put on a divine shield without even a second of hesitation.

After all, the previous incident of Melissan being shot in the head was right in front of him, so he couldn't help but be cautious.

Just as the atmosphere on the battlefield became extremely tense, Davian apparently noticed something and whispered in Zuo Si's ear, "Master, that woman doesn't seem to be dead yet."

"Ah, I know. It's not that easy to kill a demigod. Moreover, she has already usurped some authority and has a considerable home advantage here."

Zuo Si glanced at the center of the huge pit and pursed his lips to reveal a playful smile.

Needless to say, Melisand was pretending to be dead in order to make the fight more brutal for others, while she secretly drew strength from the Blood Throne and then fought her way out at the last moment to win.

But as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Her little cleverness to hide from Zuo Si's perception was obviously a daydream.

Not to mention Zuo Si, even Davian discovered the little tricks she was doing in secret.

What's more, Baal, the god of murder, has not shown up so far.

God knows what this guy is planning in the dark.

So Zuo Si did not point out Melissant, nor did he tell Balthazar that he did not really kill this insidious and cunning woman, but wanted to see how the situation would develop next.

"You mean... ignore her?"

Davian asked in a not very sure tone.

Zuo Si nodded calmly, "That's right. A half-baked person like her who hasn't figured out how to use divine power is not enough to be used as evidence.

Also, haven't you noticed that since the war began, the blood flowing in the hall where the Blood Throne is located has been becoming less and less?

Just wait and see, the exciting show is about to begin.

I just don't know in what form our King of Murder will return.

What kind of surprises can he bring us?

Get ready, if nothing unexpected happens it should be your turn soon."

(End of this chapter)
