"Roar——!" The plague behemoth was truly furious this time. Being hurt by the small ants in its eyes made the normally average intelligent creature very annoyed. With no other thoughts in mind, only the will to kill them flashed through its brain.
The plague behemoth was no longer simply spewing toxic mist. Its four pillar-like legs trembled, stabilizing its nearly collapsing body. It stomped heavily, causing the toxic volcano on its back to erupt with a violent roar, releasing a strong poisonous smoke, within which seemed to be several black dots flying out.
However, those were not just dots, but monsters completely condensed from plague toxins. They were numerous in variety, with all kinds of appearances. The most notable among them were five monarch-level plague monsters.
"Conesy, watch this!" Bexia reached into the subspace and pulled out a saint-level warblade. Though not familiar with using it, it was still better than what he had prepared earlier, as weapons of monarch level might not necessarily be useful against the plague behemoth.
Though Bexia couldn't fully unleash the power of a saint-level weapon without its secret techniques, the sharpness of the saint-level weapon alone was enough to harm the plague monsters.
"I shall destroy all enemies before my master!" Conesy, entrusted with an important task by Bexia, solemnly declared her oath, her artillery platform unfolding, concentrating intense energy within.
"Boom!" Conesy unleashed her full power. As a battleship, her destructive power was far beyond that of her counterparts, particularly in a prepared situation.
"Bang!" Two enormous beams of light struck the plague behemoth, causing the earth to tremble and rocks to fall. The terrifying shock waves shook the behemoth's body, showing how powerful it was to be able to move a gigantic super monster of ten thousand meters.
"Roar!" The plague behemoth roared in anger. Some of the plague monsters previously attacking the lion king and the old lion man diverted towards Bexia, comprising two monarch-level and over a dozen champion-level plague monsters.
"Perfect, I'll test my strength against them!" Despite being ready as always, Bexia glanced at Conesy and said, "Conesy, you don't need to intervene. I can handle these by myself!"
"Understood!" Conesy nodded. While aware that Bexia was at the champion level at best, she knew very well that her master's combat power was not determined by level and, most importantly, she might not even be a match for Bexia now.
Similarly, Bexia needed battles to adapt to her own strength.
With a tremor of the Wing of Azure Sky on her back, Bexia exploded in instantaneous speed, a dreadful howl echoing as her warblade swiftly slashed through the body of a plague monster in a blink of an eye.
"Hiss!" The plague monster hissed, seemingly extremely unwilling, trying to gather its torn body back together, yet the wounds contained a peculiar power preventing healing. After a struggle, it turned into two clumps of purplish-black sticky liquid and fell to the ground.
"!?" Bexia frowned, feeling somewhat strange, but other plague monsters had already surrounded her, prompting him to abandon those thoughts and engage in battle.
Monarch-level plague monsters were still formidable, and with the numbers increasing, especially those carrying the deadly poison, getting contaminated by such a virulent plague toxin would be a very unpleasant experience, even if not lethal.
The Lion King and the old lion were completely suppressed and beaten. The fierce Lion King, who started out strong, now seems weakened, probably because using that battle axe sacred artifact was a burst of energy, and now that it's used up, he's exhausted.
The Five-Second Real Man really can't afford to get hurt, it's better to endure a bit longer!
Conesy, following Bexia's orders, kept bombarding the Plague Behemoth relentlessly. Each blast resounded loudly, and with Bexia's permission, she unleashed a continuous barrage at full power without regard for losses. She even ignored the fact that the artillery would be scrapped due to overload; she only knew that fulfilling her master's command was her top priority.
Conesy's attacks were destructive, but for the Plague Behemoth, it was not much, just barely scratching its skin.
However, even so, the continuous bombardment did cause some damage to the Plague Behemoth, and it also slowed its advance, making it even more furious than before.
How dare these insignificant ants block its path, it’s simply courting death!
"Roar!" The Plague Behemoth unleashed a beam of poison that neutralized Conesy's bombardment. At the same time, the volcano behind it constantly emitted the purplish-black smoke and dust, and more plague monsters flew out from it this time: ten sovereigns and hundreds of champions.
The purpose of these plague monsters was clear – they headed straight for Conesy, aiming to eliminate any obstacles blocking the Plague Behemoth.
"It looks like I need to bring out the real deal!" Bexia watched the approaching plague monsters, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.
"Touch of Judgment!"
"Wing of Azure Sky - Cold Moon Domain!"
The first antennae sprouted, and the Wing of the Azure Sky on her back turned into an icy blue color. The previously calm sky suddenly filled with snowflakes, and in the blink of an eye, a blizzard descended. Centered around Bexia, within tens of thousands of meters, the area transformed into a harsh frozen domain.
Of course, these were not ordinary snowflakes; they contained a chilling aura that could freeze souls. The speed of the plague monsters covered in the snow slowed down significantly, and their strength also diminished.
"Power of Judgment!" Black lightning spiraled around Bexia’s twin horns and extended into his hands. Although he could have used this artifact a long time ago, due to his limited strength, Bexia never had the chance to use it.
But now, he could barely tap into its power.
Under the Cold Moon Domain, things changed. Bexia ignored the blizzard around him, or perhaps because of the Cold Moon Domain, everything within this range fell under his perception.
The range of the Cold Moon Domain was equal to his perception!
"Judgment of Fragmentation!"
Bexia swung his warblade, roaring like a dragon. A dragon's phantom emerged with each swing of the warblade, fiercely colliding with the plague monsters.
The world fell silent, and all the covered plague monsters disappeared as if they never existed. The effect of this single blow was incredibly powerful, but Bexia could also feel that he had nearly been drained.
The Touch of Judgment slowly dissipated, but the Wing of the Azure Sky did not revert back. The remaining power could still sustain the Cold Moon Domain, not only suppressing the plague monsters but also affecting the Plague Behemoth.
Sensing the strange power within the surrounding blizzard and perceiving the destruction of the plague monsters, the Plague Behemoth felt a hint of threat. Its massive body suddenly stopped, as if utilizing a special ability, slowly sinking into the earth, leaving only its towering toxic flames exposed on the surface.
"This is..." Bexia frowned as she watched.
"Boom—!" The Toxic Volcano trembled violently, spewing out a large amount of toxic slime like lava.
