62: Chapter 62 The Second Regimental Commander!

In the next second, the evil aura around Tastin surged violently.

He raised his greatsword high, the wailing souls on the blade spinning frantically to condense into a grey-black vortex that blotted out the sky.

“Fall, Eternal Silent Abyss!”

Accompanying Tastin's raspy roar, the greatsword swung down violently.

That grey-black vortex transformed into a physical torrent of death, causing space to shatter inch by inch!

The destructive energy contained in this strike made the souls of all the examinees present tremble.

Leaf Immortal forced her sword qi up to block it, but having just taken the Soul Judgment head-on, her internal organs were already injured.

The ice-blue sword qi was completely annihilated by the torrent of death as soon as it condensed; she let out a muffled groan as more blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Xiang Cang roared, trying to step forward, but his injuries were too severe; his golden battle qi dimmed before it could even ignite.

Baili Qiansheng fired several shots unyieldingly, but his attacks were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

“Gravity Barrier!”

“Fire Dragon Break!”

“...”

The other examinees also resisted desperately, but the gap in attributes made their skills as flimsy as paper.

“It's over, we're really going to die here.”

“No! No! I don't want to die!”

“I'm a Mythic Class Professional! I have a bright future ahead! I'm going to be a hero of the human race!”

“Waaaah! Who can save us?!”

“...”

Facing the imminent arrival of death, the fighting spirit everyone was forcing themselves to maintain collapsed instantly.

Leaf Immortal closed her beautiful eyes in despair, Xiang Cang was completely unable to stand, and Baili Qiansheng gritted his teeth, trying to flee the range of the attack.

However, at the very moment the torrent of death was about to swallow everyone.

A terrifying fluctuation rose from within the crowd, accompanied by a lazy voice.

“Annihilation Charge!”

A pitch-black figure shot into the sky like a cannonball, colliding violently with that grey-black vortex!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed through the world, and a wild energy shockwave spread frantically in a ring, making the entire illusion tower tremble as if it might collapse!

“What?!”

Once the energy fluctuations dissipated slightly, everyone could finally see clearly.

A figure wearing hideous armor and holding an exaggerated giant hammer floated quietly in mid-air.

“This, this is...” Leaf Immortal’s eyes widened as she stared at that back in disbelief.

Xiang Cang struggled to lift his head, his golden pupils filled with shock.

Tastin's crimson eyes contracted sharply: “Who are you?!”

“The dying need not know too much.”

Yarberna's lazy voice came from beneath the armor, forming a sharp contrast with her peerlessly domineering appearance.

“It was you who killed Ars, wasn't it?”

Looking at the suddenly appearing Yarberna, Balna squinted his eyes and looked toward Lu Yin.

“Before Ars died, he told me you could summon an extremely powerful creature.”

Balna's words caused all the gazes on the scene to instantly concentrate on Lu Yin.

At this moment, many examinees finally remembered.

Among them, there was an existence that could be called a freak.

That person was Lu Yin.

Since the start of the assessment, he had firmly held the first place on the points leaderboard with absolute strength.

Even top geniuses as strong as Leaf Immortal and Xiang Cang could only look at his back from afar.

Looking at the calm youth, hope for survival suddenly surged in the hearts of the despairing crowd.

However, Lu Yin paid no attention to Balna's words.

His mind was immersed in the thousands of system notifications that had just refreshed in an instant.

Due to the aftereffects of Yarberna's clash with Tastin just now, over a thousand Abyssal-transformed monsters nearby had all been killed.

Those digitized monsters, which originally couldn't grant experience points, had brought him a windfall of experience after being materialized by the Abyssal Power.

[Ding! You have killed an Abyssal Monster, experience points increased by 20,000!]

[...]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 20!]

[Ding! Death Legion Commander seat unlocked!]

[Learned Skill: Soul Devouring]

[Death Space capacity increased, current 253/300!]

[Ding! Obtained high-grade soul of death × 1163!]

Over a thousand Abyssal Monsters actually allowed Lu Yin to level up directly!

He checked the newly learned skill.

[Soul Devouring: Can directly devour souls of death. Different levels of souls of death will grant different values of all attributes. Cooldown: None, Mana Cost: None]

A sharp light flashed in Lu Yin's eyes; this new skill was another god-tier skill.

Although he didn't know if there was a limit to the souls of death he could devour, as long as he had a continuous supply, his attributes would increase infinitely.

However, Lu Yin was in no hurry to increase his attributes right now; dealing with the two Demon Generals before him was the top priority.

Because they would not only bring Lu Yin a massive amount of experience again but could also become his two powerful enforcers, which was the key to making his combat power skyrocket.

When Balna saw Lu Yin ignoring him, a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

As a mid-rank Abyssal Demon General, when had he ever been so slighted?

“Seeking death!” Balna growled low, the dark red energy around him surging violently.

The moment Balna prepared to strike, Yarberna, who was floating in mid-air, moved.

The exaggerated giant hammer in her hand, carrying the sound of breaking air, smashed toward Balna with incredible speed.

Balna clearly hadn't expected Yarberna to be so fast; in his haste, he crossed his arms, and dark red energy condensed into a thick shield.

Boom!

The giant hammer smashed into the energy shield, letting out a piercing roar.

-514,564!

Balna was sent flying by the shock of this strike, and a crimson damage indicator floated above his head at the same time.

“So this is the defense-ignoring power Ars spoke of...”

A look of surprise appeared in Balna's eyes.

But as a mid-rank Demon General, his level was ten levels higher than Ars', and his attributes were also much higher.

While over five hundred thousand damage was terrifying, it wasn't enough to take his life.

“Hehe, truly an amazing ability.”

“But no matter how strong you are, as long as your master is killed, you, this nuisance, will also disappear, right?”

Balna stabilized his body and licked his lips bloodthirstily.

Yarberna naturally understood what he meant.

There were two Demon Generals in this space; even if she held back Balna, Tastin on the other side had the ability to instant-kill Lu Yin.

But Yarberna just smiled and said, “Ignorant ant, worry about yourself.”

Before Yarberna's voice could fade, Tastin's bone wings on the other side flapped violently, carrying a piercing screech.

He was like a grey meteor, appearing before Lu Yin's eyes at extreme speed.

“Die!”

The souls entwined on the greatsword roared frantically as the grey-black blade swept straight toward Lu Yin's neck.

This scene caused the examinees who had just ignited their hope to instantly feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Be careful!”

Leaf Immortal cried out in alarm, wanting to step forward but spitting out another mouthful of blood due to her injuries.

Xiang Cang roared, trying to stand, but he simply couldn't muster any strength.

Baili Qiansheng pulled the trigger repeatedly, but the bullets were annihilated by the grey-black aura the moment they approached Tastin.

All the examinees held their breath, as if they had already foreseen the tragic sight of Lu Yin being torn to pieces.

However, just as the greatsword was about to fall.

The corner of Lu Yin's mouth curled into an arc as he slowly raised his right hand, and a magic circle as deep as if drawn in thick ink instantly took shape.

“Awaken, for your Monarch!”
