Chapter 108: The Arrival of the Ultimate Ace

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Within the battle ring, the Disaster Association’s campaign against Black Nightfork had already begun.

Along the commercial street, a relentless series of explosions echoed continuously. Agonized screams rose and fell, and the ground was littered with the bodies of demon hunters, blood soaking the earth.

Casualties were heavy...

“Pfft!”

Black Nightfork’s right arm, transformed into a massive black-and-red blade, pierced through a struggling demon hunter. Without even glancing at him, Black Nightfork casually swung the arm, flinging the man away.

The fallen hunter crashed into a distant patch of greenery—his fate unknown.

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Several streaks of blade light attacked from a certain direction in rapid succession. Black Nightfork turned and swung the giant blade, conjuring a dark energy cutting blade that shot forward with the horizontal slash.

The energy blade tore through the air with a fierce howl, shattering all incoming blades and speeding toward their source.

“Boom!”

An instant explosion erupted, engulfing the attacking demon hunters in a fiery blast, raising swirling dust and smoke.

The battle was utterly overwhelming...

Demon hunters had reached extraordinary levels, surpassing normal human limits, yet before Black Nightfork, they appeared feeble.

All mental powers failed to affect him...

All offensive abilities produced no tangible effect...

All magical powers couldn’t penetrate the armor’s defense...

They say a pack of wolves can bring down a tiger, yet even with overwhelming numbers, the Disaster Association’s forces could not inflict real damage on Black Nightfork, suffering severe casualties instead.

It was as if they were striking a stone with eggs—reckless and futile...

This was the chasm of power, the might of an Abyss-level monster!

A level unattainable by humans.

Since the battle’s start, despite being besieged by so many demon hunters, Black Nightfork had never lost ground. Nearly every attack he launched was unstoppable.

Watching this grim reaper harvesting lives with unstoppable force, many rookie demon hunters who had just joined the association looked on in terror, unwilling to advance, defeated before the fight even began.

Their spiritual blades trembled uncontrollably in their grip, legs shaking, and within them arose a staggering thought—

It wasn’t them surrounding Black Nightfork; rather, this terrifying monster had surrounded them all alone!

Now, only the elite members present could barely hold their own against Black Nightfork.

“Everyone, fall back!”

Liú Shīyǔ’s aura surged as she dashed toward Black Nightfork with a speed that was almost supernatural, like a brilliant ice-blue streak skimming low over the ground.

The young woman’s delicate features were cold and flawless; her black hair flew wildly as her blue eyes remained icy and indifferent. In her hands, the spiritual blade Frost Moon traced an arc of light like a crescent.

“Swish!”

With a sharp rush of wind, Frost Moon cut fiercely through the air, its blade aimed straight at Black Nightfork.

“Clang!”

Black Nightfork’s gray-black left arm rose to block. Frost Moon’s strike slid across the dark-gray armored forearm but failed to pierce the defense.

Almost immediately, the chill of ice surged forth, quickly freezing the gleaming black armor. Frost crystals spread rapidly over the arm guard.

Before Black Nightfork could react further, from its right side, another elite member, Xú Yè, launched his attack.

“I’ll help too!”

Xú Yè gripped his spiritual blade Burst tightly, the silver-white blade glowing with intense white light.

His ability was explosion; any attack he made carried a powerful blast effect, and now he unleashed it to the fullest.

Xú Yè struck heavily against Black Nightfork’s raised black-red giant blade, triggering an explosion.

“Boom!”

The fierce blast erupted instantly, engulfing more than half of Black Nightfork’s body in overwhelming fire.

Under the combined assault of the two elites, the chilling ice and explosive force detonated simultaneously, forcing Black Nightfork to stagger backward.

For the first time, the crowd saw Black Nightfork repelled head-on. A wave of hope surged, reigniting their fighting spirit.

“Sizzle!”

Black Nightfork lifted its gaze, and behind its gray-white skull mask, eyes blazing crimson, two beams of searing red heat shot forth in an instant.

Liú Shīyǔ conjured an ice crystal shield before her. One of the crimson beams struck it.

Like fire colliding with snow, the scorching red beam melted the ice shield, white steam rising as it rapidly pierced through.

Within two or three seconds, the solid ice shield shattered like glass—but Liú Shīyǔ had already dodged aside.

Xú Yè was not so fortunate. Facing the incoming red beam, he recklessly raised his spiritual blade sideways, trying to block with its narrow edge.

Under the beam’s terrifying force, he was blasted uncontrollably, flying backward.

“Ice Seal Thousand Absolutes!”

Liú Shīyǔ unleashed her spiritual technique. Endless icy snow swirled before her, then surged forward like a raging blizzard, sweeping toward Black Nightfork.

Within just a few seconds, the extreme cold froze Black Nightfork into a lifelike ice statue.

Some demon hunters rushed forward, eager to finish him off.

“Bang!”

“It’s useless.”

With a faint tremor, the ice encasing Black Nightfork shattered explosively, scattering shards like bullets in all directions.

A powerful black-red energy wave radiated from Black Nightfork, hurling the charging demon hunters away.

Some crashed onto the ground, others into street lamps, walls, and rubble—completely defenseless.

“Even freezing doesn’t work,” Liú Shīyǔ’s blue eyes darkened with concern.

“No... this monster is too powerful!”

An elite captain watched helplessly as their side retreated, weighed down by a crushing sense of powerlessness.

Despite their overwhelming numbers, they could not leverage any advantage. Instead, they were routed, utterly shattered, with no hope of victory in sight.

The Disaster Association had believed the forces they dispatched would suffice to handle the Tyrant Black Nightfork. Now, it was clear—they had gravely underestimated an Abyss-level monster.

This was the terrifying might of an SSS-class monster, the power of an Abysser... just as the rumors said, even more dreadful than imagined.

“Monsters have no right to survive—that’s what you humans decreed... So, if ultimately you are killed by a monster... it’s simply inevitable, isn’t it?”

Black Nightfork’s crimson eyes brimmed with cold indifference. Raising a hand, energy gathered in his palm, concentrating in a single second before unleashing a devastating destructive beam.

“Whoosh!”

The death ray shot directly toward the humans.

The demon hunters in that direction all flinched—some tried to defend, some to dodge, some to counterattack—but it was all too late. Death awaited them all.

At that instant, an unexpected change occurred.

Suddenly, a fiery red light descended from the sky, like a shining beacon of hope, landing ahead of the demon hunters’ formation.

The blazing red light withdrew, revealing a man standing amid it.
