Understand that this was an S-class异术 "Great Wind Disaster" unleashed in the divine Azure Dragon form, and this Great Wind Disaster was no longer an 异术 below SSS-class, but an 异术 below divine level!
The power of such an 异术 was naturally far superior to when it was released below SSS-class wind.
This just went to show,
the terrifying nature of an epic boss zombie.
However, the biggest reason for this was the vast difference in levels between the two sides.
If Wang Luo had enough time to absorb enough energy source crystals and raise his level to Star Brilliance, he could easily handle an epic-class in his Azure Dragon form!
Roar!
Dragon roars echoed,
Seeing his Great Wind Disaster broken by the opponent, Wang Luo dived down, unleashing the 异术 "Dragon Claw Hand" again. A massive azure dragon claw descended towards the Devourer.
The latter, upon seeing this, did not choose to meet it head-on but swiftly dodged aside.
With a boom,
Wang Luo's dragon claw, covered in azure dragon scales, struck the ground, instantly creating a deep pit.
But at this moment, the Devourer's tongue, like a sharp sword, slashed fiercely towards Wang Luo's dragon claw that was gripping the ground.
A clear collision sound, piercing the heavens, rang out!
The Devourer's grayish-white pupils contracted sharply. Its tongue attack had no effect on the opponent at all; instead, it caused its tongue to throb with immense pain!
However, it showed no signs of retreat and even let out a cold smile.
The tongue, which was originally incredibly hard and capable of cleaving the Great Wind Disaster, now became incredibly soft, instantly coiling around Wang Luo's dragon claw.
"This is bad, the Devourer's tongue contains that bizarre sticky fluid. It's a nemesis to awakened beings!"
Zhao Qingxuan's expression changed.
This was common knowledge. Once the sticky fluid from the Devourer's mouth came into contact with an awakened being, it would cause them to lose their abilities, becoming like ordinary people.
In that instant,
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu were ready to jump off the city wall to assist Wang Luo.
"Don't be impulsive, he seems fine!"
Zhou Yiming quickly advised.
Yang Shu and the other looked on intently. Wang Luo, who was entangled by the Devourer's sticky-fluid-coated tongue, not only did not lose his power and revert to human form as they expected, but his massive dragon claw suddenly pulled, actually ripping the Devourer's tongue clean off its mouth.
"He... he's not afraid of the Devourer's sticky fluid?"
Yang Chufeng was greatly astonished.
They all had a deep understanding of the sticky fluid in the Devourer's mouth. They had even managed to obtain some Devourer sticky fluid to test it out, and the result was that any contact with the substance would cause them to lose their powers for a short period, and their bodies would become like ordinary people!
But now,
Wang Luo, facing an epic boss zombie, was not losing his power for a short time.
Even Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu were unaware of such a thing.
In fact, it wasn't just them;
even the epic-class zombie was stunned, showing disbelief!
There were awakened beings who were not afraid of their sticky fluid?
How was this possible?
But all of this was within Wang Luo's control. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to engage in close combat with the Devourer!
Because he had tried it before.
Let alone in his Azure Dragon form, even in his human form, that sticky fluid had no effect on Wang Luo.
He suspected that his divine-class divine ability might be immune to such things.
Seeing that its sticky fluid was ineffective, the Devourer spat out another mouthful of flames, burning towards the giant dragon in front of it.
"Gale Annihilation Slash!"
Wang Luo opened his dragon mouth, and a massive slash shot across the sky, instantly splitting the sea of flames in half, then striking the Devourer.
Roar!
The Devourer let out a roar.
A gruesome wound was cleaved on its head, but before it could recover, the sea of flames it had spewed out, carried by the violent winds accompanying the slash, rolled back and instantly engulfed it.
A shrill scream erupted from within the sea of flames.
Wang Luo unleashed the Dragon Claw Hand again.
The massive claw struck the Devourer, directly sending it flying back a thousand meters, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Although this blow inflicted significant damage on the opponent, and its head was cracked by Wang Luo, it did not manage to kill it completely.
The Devourer also realized the danger. As a high-level zombie with intelligence no less than humans, it did not stupidly fight on but, enduring the burning flames, transformed into a gust of wind and disappeared towards the nearby volcano.
Roar!
Wang Luo intended to pursue,
but a sense of weakness surged from within him. This was far more terrifying than kidney deficiency!
"Epic-class zombie? Nothing special, this seat will await you here!"
Wang Luo mocked, quickly flying back to the city wall.
He knew that those flames could not possibly burn the Devourer to death; at most, they would only cause it severe injuries!
Wang Luo returned to the city wall and instantly reverted to his human form.
At this moment, he had once again become gaunt and emaciated.
Zhao Qingxuan hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
"Don't come near!"
Wang Luo said in a low voice.
His energy was depleted, but he absolutely could not let that Devourer know, otherwise, it would definitely attack.
He stood there, hands behind his back, gazing at the Devourer fleeing towards the volcano.
And after the latter ran near the volcano,
the flames burning on its body inexplicably extinguished, and even the gruesome wound on its head began to heal gradually.
Wang Luo and the others' pupils contracted,
but unexpectedly, the Devourer did not attack again. Instead, it stood at the volcano, coldly staring at Wang Luo on the city wall.
Its most potent sticky fluid had no effect whatsoever,
and even its most prized tongue had been pulled off!
Roar!
Damn it!
How could there be such a being among human awakened ones!
However, if it could lure the opponent to the volcano for a battle, the Devourer was confident it could subdue them.
Therefore, it immediately let out a mocking roar at Wang Luo. Unfortunately, Wang Luo couldn't understand what it was roaring, and he simply stood on the city wall and watched it silently.
At the same time, he held an energy source crystal in his hand and began to absorb power to raise his level further.
Thus,
the two sides simply watched each other. Finally, the Devourer let out a low growl and leaped down, disappearing into the volcano.
Wang Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief,
and collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
"Wang Luo!"
Zhao Qingxuan called out worriedly.
"It's fine, my energy is just depleted. This Azure Dragon divine ability is definitely for high-end battles; it can't withstand low-end consumption!"
However, this situation was a significant improvement compared to his previous transformation into a dragon.
If nothing else,
he was not completely drained this time and could still maintain clear consciousness, which was much better than last time.
Moreover, he had unleashed three 异术s this time: Great Wind Disaster, Dragon Claw Hand, and Gale Annihilation Slash.
These were two S-class and one SS-class 异术s, and the energy consumption was naturally enormous.
"Do you want to return to the villa to rest for a while?"
Yang Shu asked with concern.
"No need, I'll stay here!"
"The situation is much better this time. At least I can still move normally,"
Wang Luo shook his head.
He worried that the epic-class zombie might suddenly launch a surprise attack. To be safe, he chose to remain here.
