Wizard: I crush legends with martial arts.

As Cassobia's figure continued to shrink, his power also weakened. As one side gained more and more, Alphonse was able to acquire more and more necromantic energy.

Gradually, Kasobia's body shrank to more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in length. He could no longer fully recover, and his damaged armor could no longer be reproduced. He became a monster wrapped in dark red flesh and blood.

Alphonse even summoned the Shadow Earth Dragon to aid him in the battle.

Victory is in sight!

With a fierce charge, the Shadow Dragon's massive body pinned down Kasobia, trapping him under its claws.

Just as Alphonse was about to deliver a devastating, invisible sword strike to send him to his death, a sudden sense of unease arose in his mind.

Kasobia's body trembled violently, and flesh and blood fell from his body, but his aura suddenly surged.

This situation looks quite wrong!

Alphonse sensed something was wrong and his first reaction was to recall the Shadow Dragon and retreat at top speed.

The last time I encountered a similar situation was in the martial arts world of my previous life, when I fought against Jiang Shangyang, the leader of the righteous alliance.

I couldn't escape that time, but this time I can't fall for it again!

The Demon Sword reacted even faster, delivering a spatial slash that carried Alphonse away from the battlefield.

boom!

A deafening roar.

Amidst the deafening explosion, a flash of black light erupted, and a shockwave spread outwards, sweeping in all directions.

Thick clouds of dust billowed up, carrying with them mud and rubble kicked up by the explosion, swirling across the sky.

"I knew you wanted to self-destruct!" Alphonse muttered angrily.

Immediately afterwards, a series of mournful cries echoed across the border region.

It wasn't just one undead spirit emitting the piercing wail; it was as if countless undead spirits were simultaneously letting out their mournful cries.

Seeing that the explosion had stopped, leaving behind a huge crater that looked like a meteorite impact, Alphonse slipped back inside.

A sudden gust of wind arose.

The biting wind stung his face, and if Alphonse hadn't been protected by his inner energy, he would have had trouble keeping his footing.

Outside, the dark elves and the priests of the Demon God Cult erected a magical canopy to shield them from the fierce winds.

The wandering spirits have all vanished.

The location where Kasobia detonated was completely destroyed by the powerful explosion.

However, strange things were also happening in the distant thorny thickets on both sides.

The decaying earth was still trembling violently, but the thorny thicket, as if it had endured countless years, could no longer withstand the erosion of the wind and sand, turning into ashes and quickly disappearing in the wind.

Alphonse braved the fierce winds and stepped into the border again, his only worry being that Cassobia might not be completely dead and might reappear in the thick fog.

Having finally worn down one Cassobia, Alphonse simply didn't have the energy to fight another one for several more days and nights.

The feared event did not occur; apart from the relentless, howling winds, no other trace of the dead was seen.

"Really dead?!" Alphonse muttered.

"He should be dead." The demonic sword, which had transformed into a gauntlet, gave a definite answer. "Even if Kasobia has the ability to appear at the border from different timelines, with his main body dead, this ability should no longer be effective."

Alphonse couldn't understand this incredibly fantastical thing.

According to Alphonse, in the current timeline, Cassobia was worn down to death, but in the past timeline, wasn't he still alive?

Perhaps, saying he's alive isn't quite right; he's already a ghost.

They even lost their former sanity, leaving behind only a spirit with a powerful obsession.

Alphonse didn't bother to delve into things he couldn't understand.

After all, they themselves do not have the ability to manipulate time.

At this moment, Alphonse discovered that the fog deep in the border was churning violently, the color of the fog barrier was fading, and the fog was thinning.

In an instant, the misty barrier that stretched to the sky transformed into countless enormous tornadoes, traversing the heavens and connecting the clouds with the earth.

Above the sky, swirling, murky clouds gradually turned an eerie gray-black.

Deep within the clouds, eerie lights and shadows can occasionally be seen emerging.

It was as if living beings were moving through it, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Alphonse stared in astonishment at the strange sight in the sky.

The death of the Lord of the Barrier, Kasobia, could actually trigger such a strange phenomenon in the heavens and earth?

He's not that strong, is he?

The changes in these clouds are somewhat reminiscent of a higher realm of the formless sword energy that breaks through the body—the calamity cloud.

In his previous life, Alphonse had reached that level, condensing necromantic energy into a calamity cloud.

Just like a field.

Within the area shrouded by the ominous cloud, any location can unleash an invisible sword aura that pierces through the air to attack the enemy.

There's absolutely no need to deliberately get close anymore.

At that level, the formless sword energy that breaks through the body no longer needs to be activated one by one with a thought.

With a single thought, the enemy would be bombarded by countless invisible sword energies that could pierce through their bodies.

However, it also requires a massive amount of necromantic energy. Without reaching the level of being able to perform "Life and Death Transformation" and transform the vitality of all things into death energy, one cannot perform the Calamity Cloud.

The temperature has dropped sharply. In Fantalia, the sun is already blocked by clouds, and sunlight can only shine through the gaps in the clouds.

In a short while, the clouds quickly darkened.

The sky seemed to change from daylight to night in the blink of an eye.

But outside the border, through the gaps in countless giant tornadoes, light could be faintly seen filtering in.

Outside, it was still bright daylight.

However, the tornado made it impossible to pass through.

The Demon Sword Falbongus has transformed back into its original form from a gauntlet: a strangely shaped, jet-black longsword.

It no longer needs to fight, nor does it need to expend energy to maintain the shape of the gauntlets.

He suddenly said, "Perhaps I misjudged. Kasobia is not just a master-level expert; he may have advanced to the legendary level while I was sealed away."

"If he's legendary, do you think I could beat him?" Alphonse asked, somewhat taken aback.

Kasobia is much stronger than the earth dragon Fiyaru, but he doesn't seem to have reached the legendary level. Farbancus had sensed this before; his power was only at the upper master level.

Alphonse knew perfectly well that his victory over Cassobia was due to his large size, lack of intelligence, and ability to absorb the necromantic energy within him, which allowed him to wear Cassobia down to death.

The demonic sword swayed in mid-air, then swung horizontally, its tip pointing towards the border. "That misty barrier from before was very likely also part of Kasobia. My guess is that after fusing with the demon, he probably transformed himself into a barrier sealing off Fantalia. It's impossible for someone with only Master-level strength to do that; only by advancing to Legendary status and undergoing a change in life form could he possibly accomplish this." (End of Chapter)
