Chapter 989: Second Level

The bloodline of Cerberus, even among the evil G.o.ds, is a super high-level ancestral bloodline.

Even though I heard that Cerberus itself is not very smart, it is really powerful. It is even strong enough to eat G.o.ds.

Not so strong, long ago being controlled by those ancient G.o.ds who loved to play with people"s hearts and distort reality, died countless times.

The ancient G.o.ds always used Cerberus as cannon fodder, sending him to test any strong foes they encountered.

If any unit other than Cerberus had been used like this, they would have died beyond the point of death. But after being slaughtered on the battlefield by multiple deities, Cerberus is still alive and kicking, while several attempts to control it by ancient G.o.ds have fallen.

If Cerberus is killed, it quickly comes back to life from the underworld. This is an exaggerated immortality that even surpa.s.ses ancient G.o.ds, it is a privilege of the Netherworld guard dog.

Quran is not very intelligent, so he doesn"t mind being used by the ancient G.o.ds because he can"t die no matter how he is used.

Quran, the prince of the Black Demon Dogs, who inherited Cerberus" bloodline, also has this characteristic. No matter what kind of serious injury he receives, even recently being exploded all over by a demon worm from the insect race, he just can"t die. He can be called the strongest of the strong.

But now, what did he encounter in the crystal sphere?

Having Cerberus" bloodline, he, who probably doesn"t even have the words "afraid" in his dictionary, is actually rolling and howling on the ground.

He is the only one among the trio of evil G.o.ds who has won ten consecutive victories!

"That… that… is a monster…" Quran bit his tongue, causing it to bleed and his whole body kept twitching, his pupils shrinking.

"It"s even more terrifying than Cerberus… a true monster…"

Covered in splattering blood and having bitten off his own tongue, Quran finally curls up and completely loses consciousness.

The Black Demon Dog prince, who originally had a great hope of entering the next stage of trial, had his ten consecutive victories come to an end and lost the ability to fight again.

There were more than one person who had similar encounters.

In the following time, all the trial partic.i.p.ants who encountered "Astarot" felt what true despair and fear from the abyss really were.

Most of these elites achieved five or six consecutive victories on the crystal ball battlefields, especially the members of the n.o.ble alliance.

When they all changed their job to the "tentacle cla.s.s," they would instantly become restless and enter a frenzy state just by being stared at by Astarot.

The tentacles, which were originally their greatest fighting power, began to contract and twitch one by one under Astarot"s gaze, eventually even dissolving automatically.

Compared to the Black Demon Dog prince who dared to counterattack Astarot, these tentacles couldn"t fight back at all. They would self-destruct just by being stared at by Astarot.

It was a natural reaction of the ancient G.o.d power within their bodies sensing a more terrifying presence. It was the instinctive response of a lower-level demonic creature encountering the "Demon King."

Astarot could easily control these lower-cla.s.s tentacles with just a look. That is the absolute dominance of a Demon King"s rank.

Shortly afterwards, no one was eligible to appear before Astarot in the first layer of the Crystal Orb.

After leaving a huge psychological shadow on the partic.i.p.ants in this layer with a crushing att.i.tude, the Demon King from the Abyss automatically advanced to the second layer of the Crystal Orb trial.

Here, only the strong ones who have proven their strength, like the Great Xia Emperor Xia Jie, and gained recognition from the White Lotus Secret Treasure, are qualified to step into the battlefield.

If the first layer of the Crystal Orb trial only selects elites who can reach the hero-ranked limit, then starting from the second layer, this is where the seed players with the potential to achieve the legend-ranked belong.

The Prince of the Black Demon Dog, who had just achieved ten consecutive victories, should have been a member of this layer. Unfortunately, in the final advancement battle, he encountered the late partic.i.p.ant of the Crystal Orb, Astarot.

This time, the one appearing before Astarot was the Great Xia Emperor who had made a remarkable start in the Crystal Orb battlefield, the Black Dragon Emperor Xia Jie, who commanded the Twelve Black Cavalry!

Although Xia Jie lost to Xiao Cao once, he still managed to break through to the second layer with the advantage of the legion formed by the Twelve Black Cavalry, and achieved a record of seven wins and one loss, proving himself to be an outstanding elite even among the seed players in the legend-ranked.

With only one loss, he was defeated by a knight order stronger than him, the Starwings Knights led by Hua Yue.

Hua Yue, the captain of the Starwings Knights, sought a future that Yun Xi had once glimpsed.

That was the Starwings Knights coming together, the future where all members fought side by side, and she was more excited for the growth of the "Mei Knight Order" she led than her own growth.

Her wish became a reality.

The small Starwings Knights all advanced to hero-ranked and became the ideal embodiment of Hua Yue.

The Great Xia Black Dragon Emperor"s Twelve Black Cavalry were defeated head-on by the Starwings Knights, led by Hua Yue, who had a total of over forty members.

Just after a recent defeat, Xia Jie took fifteen minutes to recover her strength, a.n.a.lyze the reasons for her failure, and then armed herself again, preparing to continue her rampage.

There will never be another exception like the Starwings Knights!

The reason he lost just now was that he encountered tactics and natural enemies that completely countered him.

Hua Yue, who possessed all the members of the Starwings Knights, sent Xiao Cao to charge into battle and unleashed the special abilities of all the members of the Starwings Knights.

In the legion battle, the number of the Twelve Black Cavalry was completely overwhelmed by the Starwings Knights.

The general is going to fight again. Xia Jie just lost to Xiao Cao once, and now he has some mental shadows.

Whether it"s soldier against soldier or general against general, it"s a complete defeat. Xia Jie can"t refuse to accept the fact that he lost to the entire Starwings Knights.

The Starwings Knights are like his archenemies, he can"t find any way to win against them.

But, it"s only limited to the Starwings Knights!

Except for not winning against the Starwings Knights, Xia Jie has won all the other seven battles!

Now, he"s confident that he will start a new winning streak this time.

Look, there"s only one person on the other side!

And, she"s a woman!

A unfamiliar face, is she a newcomer to this level of battle?

It looks like it"s time to torment the newbie. He wants to show them how cruel this level of battle can be!
