What got cut down was merely the Kao beast cub cannon fodder.

These little guys, not even at Black Iron level, had no combat power to speak of, their strength only a bit stronger than the yellow dog at the village entrance.

The Minotaur Warrior raised its sword and shield, assuming a defensive stance, tightly guarding the magic array that Yiye Zhiqiu had deployed.

Hu Wan, on the other hand, tried to break through the encirclement of the beast horde, but unfortunately, the Kao beast cub tide was too dense, and several times he tried to advance, he was forced back.

Watching the four little ants struggling in the storm, the now entirely scarlet Giant revealed a cruel grin at the corners of its mouth, the murderous intent from its blood-red pupils becoming even more terrifying.

Suddenly, he reached behind him, like squeezing a pus-filled boil, and grabbed a muddy object tinged with yellow and blood red.

It was a group of wriggling Chaos Embryos—

They squirmed like living amber, trying to free themselves from the shackles binding them, each mouth emitting a twisted yet silent wail.

"Roar—!"

The wail seemed to transform into Omuga's roar.

Like a shot putter, he placed the waxy yellow and blood-red mixture on his shoulder and then hurled it fiercely towards the group of players surrounded by Kao beast cubs.

The massive projectile flew through the sky like a catapult's boulder, screeching through the air, then slammed towards a mountain peak a kilometer away.

Watching the projectile suddenly appear in the sky, the soul fire in Yiye Zhiqiu's skull flickered abruptly. He gritted his teeth to complete the last spell and swung the tip of his staff before the projectile started accelerating downwards.

"Tearing·Flame Demon's Hand!"

A burning claw emerged from the roaring flames, like a giant dragon with its mouth open, lunging at the accelerating projectile!

It was the strongest Fine Steel-level fire attribute magic that he mastered!

It almost consumed half of his MP gauge in one go!

And as expected, the Flame Demon's hand stretching towards the sky did not fail his expectation, grasping the whistling, gigantic pustule and enveloping it entirely!

However, just as Yiye Zhiqiu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the flaming hand grasping in the air suddenly exploded into a shower of fireworks.

Boom!!!

The shockwave from the explosion shattered the Flame Demon's hand as if it were a solid entity, and hundreds of burning Kao beast cubs fell like rain towards them!

"Damn—"

The Minotaur Warrior let out a brief roar of anger, quickly raising the shield above him, though it received a solid blow, nearly denting the alloy shield face.

The Kao beast cub landing on his shield let out a shrill screech, its bloodthirsty eyes locked on him, who was just a skeleton frame, then pounced on him like a mad dog, biting.

The Minotaur Warrior reacted swiftly, thrusting the sword in his right hand into that hideous face, killing it without a doubt.

Yet—

The situation on the ground was still far from optimistic for him.

He had only slain one, while there were at least a hundred demon beasts surrounding him! Even more were swarming up from the mountain in droves!

Not to mention, the approaching Kao Giant, its sinister face and blood-red eyes becoming clearer by the second.

"Damn it! There's too many of them!" The Minotaur Warrior retreated while using the traps beside him to prevent the clawing monsters from flanking him, ultimately finding his back against the wall.

His condition was relatively better since the skeletal appearance made the Kao beast cubs unsure of where to attack.

In contrast, the Pig-headed Knight was in a miserable state, facing these rampant little beasts, with few patches of his scales intact!

"The developers are targeting us, aren't they?!"

"Damn! It's all your fault for doubting our Brother Yiye! Now, he summoned the BOSS just to prove himself—"

"??? What does this have to do with me?"

Yiye Zhiqiu didn't join in his teammates' conversation, as his full attention was focused on the battle ahead.

Wielding the dual hand sticks, he struck down the approaching demon beasts, skillfully used the Vortex Technique to jump back, creating distance, while simultaneously casting the Fireball Technique, launching several fist-sized missiles to stall the lunging beasts, even supporting Hu Wan as he approached.

His melee skills weren't weak; after all, the first skill he learned wasn't magic, but the slashing Sword Skill from the Dragon Divine Sect!

If it were only the Kao beast horde, the four of them, even barely at Fine Steel level, would still stand a chance.

Yet unfortunately, those Kao beast cubs weren't their true opponent, but merely "flakes" shed from a much larger monster.

The sound of mountains collapsing came from the nearby air, and seeing the huge shadow imprinted on the ground, the four players fighting fiercely at the cave entrance felt a chill in their hearts.

This is it—

Conversely, "Mountain Butcher" Omga, overlooking the four little grasshoppers, revealed a cruel grin, extending a hand as large as a city gate over their heads.

For him, crushing them was no different from squashing a few ants!

Yet just as he was about to end the four prey's lives, a premonition of death crept into Omga's heart, sending an unexpected shiver through his soul, causing a brief pause in his actions.

Vaguely, he heard the whisper in the wind—
