What an immense honor it was!
This was a temptation no demon could resist.
As for him being the Abyssal King, haha... it was precisely because he was the Abyssal King that this temptation was so immense.
Do you really think demons pledge absolute loyalty to Dimogorgen?
Demons control their underlings not with loyalty but with fear, endless and absolute fear.
Under such emotions, what is born is always hatred.
As for the one Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow was calling out to for help, it was naturally Gaven, who had been watching the battle from outside the room.
This kind of battle was entirely beyond his capacity to intervene in.
Not only did he lack sufficient attack power, but also the opponent’s attacks were too ferocious; Nightshadow’s Damage Reduction was ineffective against them, let alone his own Combat Armor.
The disparity in size between them was too great; one slap from the opponent could squash him into a pancake.
Those scenes where humans withstand a punch from Titan Giants and still bounce around lively only exist in fantasy movies; large size does confer an overbearing advantage in terms of strength.
Gaven himself wasn’t qualified to join the battle, but those six Shadow Walker Night Shadows now were.
In fact, before the Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow cried out for help, they had already stormed in, three as a group, rushing toward the branching tentacles, with a clear goal: to grab and restrain them, limiting their movement and attacks.
If they had attempted such a move at the start, it would have been suicidal.
Forget about trying to keep up with the tentacles’ speed; with a mere backhand, it could envelop and strangle the Shadow Walker Night Shadows.
But now, its strength was severely limited, and they could be effective.
Dimogorgen was also aware of the danger and tried to evade and counterattack while dodging.
But there were too many enemies, and their speed had been greatly reduced, not even half of what it was at the peak.
He dodged the first, the second, the third attacks, but couldn’t evade the fourth, fifth, and sixth.
When one of them managed to grapple him and brace their feet to exert power, the rest became simple.
Although these Shadow Walker Night Shadows could only just reach the edge of the super-large size, with their combined strength, they could still cause great trouble for the tentacles, preventing them from harassing and attacking the Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow.
And at that moment, an invigorating BGM timely resounded throughout the arena.
This naturally came from the Singing Stone.
"This is... Legendary power," the Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow screamed in disbelief.
A shining option was laid out before her.
Legendary Power Reward (Choose one of three)
One, Dexterity Attribute +4.
Two, Overbearing Rip (Special Ability)—In contests of strength, your body size is considered one grade larger; when your dual or multiple weapons hit the opponent simultaneously, you will cause Rend damage, which will inflict an additional 1D8 points of bleeding damage.
Three, Fatal Beheading (Special Ability)—When your weapon hits the enemy’s neck, joints, or other vulnerable areas, it will have a certain chance of severing them directly; the bonus from Multi-Arm Synergy is increased to 0.3 per arm, and the chance to trigger Fatal Beheading will increase by ten percent with each additional arm used.
Compared to Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow’s shock and confusion, Gaven appeared calm and collected, as if this was all to be expected.
Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow herself had a strength of 26 points, and after using the Enlarge spell, not only did her size double, but her weight increased eightfold, bringing double the bonuses for the same strength points.
Her strength would also increase by two points, corresponding to a decrease of two points in dexterity.
This was an internal adjustment due to the change in size, a typical intrinsic enhancement.
The attribute adjustment brought by the Singing Stone was not just an internal value for Gaven, but for everyone affected by it, even the Undead Creatures like Nightshadow were influenced.
Because this power came from emotions, from the strength of music, stirring the inner soul, unrelated to the physical body directly.
Faced with these three choices, Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow made the decision on her own, which was best for her—the Fatal Beheading.
She had never felt the lack before, but this time she confronted enemies that were quite out of the ordinary, and she became acutely aware that she lacked the ability for instantaneous lethal bursts.
Especially with Legendary power, which wasn’t gained through her true strength, she should choose an ability for instantaneous burst rather than a more conventional one like Overbearing Rip; her group attack abilities were already exceptional, and the presence or absence of additional damage didn’t matter much.
Once the ability was chosen, not only did the Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow’s arms, but also her Serpent Hilt Curved Sword, burst forth with an extraordinary brilliance, a blessing from Magic Power, from the Law.
What was previously an extremely difficult task now became very simple.
With another burst of force, Six-armed Snake Demon Nightshadow simply snipped off the Abyssal King’s tentacle cleanly at the root.
"Aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh, aaahhh..."
The sky was filled with furious, disbelieving howls.
Dimogorgen would never have imagined that he was merely trying to make a show of strength.
He had failed to establish his authority, but instead, one of his arms had been staked in the process.
How could this be possible?
Since when did such powerful beings emerge in the Material Plane?
Shouldn’t they be retreating in fear at the sight of his tentacles?
