The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon suddenly stomped the ground. An orange-yellow wave surged rapidly across the ground, like a strong wall of wind!

The buildings in its way were crushed into pieces. If anyone had been looking down from above, they would have noticed a new ring with a diameter of over seven hundred meters in the residential area of densely packed houses. There was nothing but dust and sand left inside the ring!

Mo Fan was puzzled as he stared at the cloud of dust along the edge of the ring.

What was the creature thinking? Did it just stomp the ground for no reason? He was clearly out of the range of the attack, and even if he was in range, he could easily dodge the spreading ring of the stomp.

Mo Fan soon realized where the problem was. “Damn it, it drove the Dark Material away!”

Just a moment ago, Mo Fan’s Dark Material had spread across the residential area. He would have been able to establish the Swamp of Darkness once the Dark Material grew a little bit more. He would then have been able to use the Nyx Regime to suppress the creature’s Earth Magic. To his surprise, the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was so alert that it had completely driven Mo Fan’s Fiendish Night away after all the efforts he had put in!

“This is getting a little tricky!” Mo Fan was getting a headache now.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon walked toward Mo Fan. Its glowing red eyes were staring down at Mo Fan, as if it was expressing its disdain for Mo Fan’s petty tricks.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon slowly lifted its hands above its head. As its body shuddered, the dust that had yet to settle down started gathering toward its hands rapidly, like a huge number of insects returning to their nest.

The dust particles formed a long handle in the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon’s hands. The creature grabbed onto the handle tightly, as a polished battle axe appeared on the other end of the handle.

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon lifted the axe. It felt like the huge axe was going to slice the city in half under the cold brilliance of the moon. The Battlemages and the Mages of the Magic Association were stunned by the sight!

The Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was obviously not targeting the Battlemages or the Brown Rock Mages. An annoying pest was standing right in front of it. It would get rid of him before deciding on its next move!

The creature’s strength was absolutely shocking. It swung the axe with immeasurable power. The force poured down like a tsunami from the sky together with the axe.

Mo Fan tried to dodge it, but had no clue where to go. This was different from being suppressed mentally, making him feel like he was being attacked from all directions. His mind had simply gone blank under the enormous pressure that had exceeded his threshold. He felt like there was nothing he could do, apart from standing there to receive it!

The swing was utterly shocking. Mo Fan was already prepared for it, yet the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was a lot stronger than he thought. It was a true Ruler-level creature!

The axe landed on the ground like a godly weapon. The whole city could only withstand a few hits like that, at most. The enormous axe had sliced the residential area in the same area as Mo Fan in half, forming an astoundingly deep ravine.

The ravine kept expanding, extending from the residential area to the business district. The skyscrapers there began to fall in succession. The terrifying ravine almost devoured everything on the surface in its path. Even the stars in the sky had to clear a path for the ferocious slash!

Mo Fan had nowhere to escape to, caught by the formidable force of the axe. The defensive equipment he activated had all dissipated after the strike.

The axe might be swung in a straight line, but its force had further split into thousands of ferocious gusts of wind. Mo Fan used everything he had to barely dodge the slash itself, but the winds were free to attack him. His clothes were shredded and his skin was torn, with shallow and deep cuts all over his body. His bones were now exposed from some of the deep cuts, his blood pouring out endlessly from the rest of the cuts.

The attack did not knock Mo Fan too far away, but he was covered in blood before he fell to the ground. He caught a glimpse of the spectacular ravine left by the axe out of the corner of his eye. It was similar to the ravine outside the city, but this one had happened right in the city’s center!

Mo Fan slammed onto the ground. His eyes widened as he sensed the burning pain all over his body.

This creature was absolutely terrifying!

Unlike the Black-Silver Rock Demon, the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon did not evolve from a Mud Morphing Monster. It had been a Ruler-level creature all along. It was the real commander of the Rock Monsters!

It was intelligent, and possessed a terrifying strength unmatched among the Black-Silver Rock Demons. Mo Fan slightly regretted his decision to engage the creature so recklessly.

It was too difficult to take on a Ruler-level creature without Zhao Manyan’s outstanding defense. No matter how well-prepared he was, he still ended up in his current circumstances against the absolute strength of a Ruler-level creature.

He had only managed to defeat a Ruler-level in the past by working with the others. Mo Fan was mainly in charge attacking since his destructive spells were capable of hurting a Ruler-level creature. Meanwhile, Zhao Manyan would handle the defense, as he had no problem defending against the strongest attacks of a Ruler-level creature if he had fully set up his defenses. The others would focus on suppressing the Ruler-level creature, preventing it from using any destructive moves…

In addition to all that, the Black-Silver Armored Rock Demon was very cunning. It made itself look exactly the same as the other Black-Silver Rock Demons, so when it suddenly revealed its terrifying strength it took Mo Fan and the others by surprise when it felt threatened.

“That son of a b**ch…”

Mo Fan slowly crawled his way out of the gouge in the earth. He opened his Space Pocket and gulped down the whole sack of sacred Potions Xinxia had given him. He did not care if the Potions were used to stop bleeding, for rejuvenation, rapid healing, or slow recovery. He simply tossed them all into his mouth. He only remembered everything in the sack was edible.

In the past, Mo Fan’s injuries would heal at a rate visible to the eye after drinking such Potions. Their effects were only slightly weaker than the spells of a Healer. However, he was up against a Ruler-level creature now. Such spells were usually enhanced with extra Elemental damage that was incurable with normal methods. Only a professional Healer was capable of truly healing these wounds.
