Chapter 342 - 343: Human Race Points +2!
Until the sound of someone swallowing in extreme shock broke the silence, the Kratosium gradually came to life.
Soon after, a tidal wave of uncontrollable exclamations and gasps surged up!
"Instant... instant kill?! That was Lord Frostfang, with strength comparable to a Totem Level!"
"Am I seeing things? Just... just like that? It’s over?"
"Monarch Tier One! I sensed it clearly, that human Beast Tamer only has the aura of Monarch Tier One! How is this possible?!"
"Defying the heavens! This is simply a heaven-defying battle strength! A Monarch Level defying a Totem so effortlessly, unheard of!"
"When did the Human Race produce such a terrifying being?!"
The discussions surged like a tide, all voices filled with incredulity.
Aster Grant’s displayed strength had completely surpassed their understanding.
Zane Drake stood still, his body rigid, eyes fixed directly on the indifferent figure on the stage, his mind blank.
Though he had long known from Elara Crimson that Aster Grant was now a different person, his strength reaching Totem Level.
The impact of witnessing it firsthand was a thousand times more intense than just hearing about it!
To know...
Frostfang is not just any creature, but a Vicious Beast legendary for its fearsome reputation, with strength comparable to a genuine King-level Vicious Beast!
He originally thought that even if Aster Grant could win, it would be a fierce and arduous battle, and had even prepared to assist at any time.
But the reality was...
So effortless!
Like crushing dry weeds!
At that moment, Zane Drake clearly realized that Aster Grant’s strength had reached a height he couldn’t understand, let alone reach.
This young man, whom he had watched grow, had become the undeniable pillar of the Human Race!
Even leaving him, the former number one of the Human Race, far behind.
At this moment, a complex emotion surged within him.
In stark contrast to the excitement and complex feelings of the human camp, from the direction of the Dreadbeast Faction came a murderous intent so intense it was almost tangible!
The Frost Serpent coiled atop the high platform, its originally icy snake eyes now turned a crimson red!
The cold air emanating from it condensed the surrounding air into frost!
One of its most capable subordinates, Frostfang, possessing Totem Level combat power, was instantly killed by a human right under its nose!
And it had not the slightest ability to stop it!
Staring at the Law Swords hovering overhead, the Frost Serpent’s eyes revealed a cold glint.
If these Law Swords continue to hover over everyone’s heads....
If that human relies on these Law Swords to continue threatening the Divine Realm....
The Frost Serpent’s scarlet vertical pupils, filled with murderous intent, suddenly turned towards the other three Totem-level Demon Clan members on the platform.
Without words, at the moment their eyes met, a unanimous thought quickly formed among the four top powerhouses....
Cooperation!
The threat posed by this human had far exceeded any of their individual expectations!
That uncanny Beastbond, that terrifying disregard for level boundaries to achieve instant kills, and that domineering stance capable of altering the rules...
If this person is not cut down soon, he will undoubtedly become the biggest obstacle in their quest for the Divine Pattern, potentially even threatening their existence!
The Divine Realm has no rule against making a move outside the Kratosium.
"Take action!"
Almost simultaneously, a horrifying aura exploded around the Frost Serpent and the three Totem-level Demon Clan warriors!
The Frost Serpent’s massive mouth opened, spewing a breath of extreme cold capable of freezing souls, freezing the space it passed through.
It formed a crystalline barrier across the sky and earth, trying to freeze and delay the countless Law Swords!
The other three Totem-level Demon Clan members gathered all their Demonic Qi, sweeping towards the numerous Law Swords suspended in the sky.
Demonic Qi can corrode the Heaven and Earth Laws!
Moreover, these three Totem-level Demon Clan members were not the weakest Totem Tier Ones.
All three were at least at Totem Tier Two, with even one being Totem Tier Three.
Thus, with their combined strength, even the Law Swords constructed by Lazuli were gradually corroded and damaged by the dense Demonic Qi.
Soon, the Law Swords suspended overhead were completely eroded.
However.
Seeing this scene, Aster Grant remained completely unfazed.
Previously, he had used this method to force a compromise from the Divine Pattern within the Divine Realm once.
This method clearly couldn’t be used a second time.
However, Aster Grant had no intention of using it a second time.
Seeing their actions, Aster Grant spoke directly:
"Lazuli, retract the two Laws!"
Before his words had even finished, Lazuli’s mind moved, and the awe-inspiring golden-red sword light across the sky instantly transformed into a pure stream of energy, obediently flowing back into her body.
Retracting the released Laws not only avoids unnecessary consumption but can rapidly replenish some energy, hence wasting it is unreasonable.
Once the Laws were fully retracted, Aster Grant calmly looked at the Frost Serpent and the three Demon Monarchs, who still maintained an aggressive stance, his voice calm yet tinged with mockery:
"What now? Do you still want to continue? Feel free... to try?"
His unflustered, composed demeanor instead made the hearts of the Frost Serpent and the other powerhouses chill, forcibly halting their imminent assault.
Their original plan was to join forces to withstand the Law Swords, then seize the opportunity to eliminate this grave threat in one stroke.
But given his calmness, could he have an even more terrifying backup plan?
Or had the previous outburst not exhausted his energy?
For a moment, their caution about unforeseen consequences prevailed.
The four Totem-level powerhouses looked at each other, none daring to initiate an attack that could lead to unpredictable outcomes.
After a few seconds of stalemate, the Frost Serpent let out a reluctant low growl, first retracting its swirling cold aura.
The three Demon Monarchs saw this and could only sulkily withdraw their gathered Demon Techniques.
Seeing this, Aster Grant sneered internally.
If all four attacked at once, it would indeed be troublesome for him.
After all, Lazuli’s current strength, while formidable, wasn’t at the level of dominating the entire field yet.
Fortunately, these guys were overly suspicious, cherishing their lives, ultimately not daring to gamble everything.
But this hesitation also meant they completely wasted their chance.
At this moment, a mechanical female voice timely broke the impasse on the field:
[Half-Step Totem Level Second Match: Human Race versus Demon Clan!]
[Both sides, please step onto the stage!]
However, before the voice had even finished echoing, the Demon Clan’s side promptly responded:
"The Demon Clan forfeits this match."
What a joke!
Even Frostfang was instantly killed; which Half-Step Totem can go up there without meeting the same fate?
There’s no strategic value in just wearing out the opponent’s stamina; it would only increase casualties.
Having forfeited, in the next match, Aster Grant cannot remain on stage.
They only need to win the next match.
[Demon Clan forfeits, Human Race wins, points +2.]
[Current Score: Human Race: 2 points; Dreadbeast: 1 point; Demon Clan: 2 points.]
[Half-Step Totem Level Final Match is about to begin: Human Race versus Demon Clan!]
[Please decide on the participants for both sides!]
As the mechanical voice concluded.
Everyone’s gaze instantly fell on Aster Grant.
He had already participated in one match, so who will the Human Race send out this time?
However, aside from Aster Grant.
Anyone who steps onto the stage would also lose.
Yet, Aster Grant continued to stand there calmly, showing no sign of stepping down.
His gaze crossed the Kratosium, looking towards the entrance of the Divine Realm, as if waiting for something.
The person he’s waiting for should... almost be here, right?
