Chapter Forty-Six: Lord Man Lie
The colossal Half-Beastman shone with golden light; muscles bulging and eyes ablaze with fury, he wielded a sinister hammer as tall as himself. The hammer bore a striking resemblance to the Barbaric Hammer, sharing a similar lineage of spirit, but it was even more fierce and bloodthirsty.
As he leapt into the air, he eclipsed sun, moon, and stars, casting a powerful and domineering silhouette, as if a War God had descended to earth, unstoppable and peerless in combat.
The next moment, the colossal Half-Beastman landed in front of the Demon Monkey’s clone, and the war hammer came crashing down upon it.
"Boom!" Instantly, the Demon Monkey’s clone was smashed into a mist of blood, with fragments of flesh falling like rain, dying completely without leaving a corpse behind.
With just one move, this demon monkey clone, which had brought Wind Forest Stronghold to its knees, was instakilled by the colossal Half-Beastman.
The field finally fell silent; all clamor shattered by that hammer strike, ceased to exist.
"Boom!" Just then, the towering figure of the Barbaric Hammer suddenly crashed down, stirring up dust from the ruins.
"My son!" Lord Man Lie roared in anguish, as he crouched down and cradled Barbaric Hammer in his arms.
"Father, I’m fine, my heart wasn’t hit; I’ll recover after some rest," said Barbaric Hammer weakly, "Hurry, go after and kill that beast Instakill, he’s the cause of all this! We must slice him to pieces. He has a Spirit Cat, too; force him to reveal everything, he has treasures, get them all out of him..."
"Alright! I’ll catch him right now and slice him to pieces! Whatever you wish, Father will listen to you! Stay here and rest well! Don’t get hurt again!" Man Lie said, holding him tightly and nodding in agreement.
Barbaric Hammer wanted to speak again, but at that moment, a cold voice suddenly resonated from the ruins—
"I hereby announce, Barbaric Hammer—dead!"
The voice came abruptly, catching everyone off guard. For a moment, no one knew how to react.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, the earth trembled, and a massive lightning bolt tore through the night’s curtain, splitting into two; one striking an area dozens of meters away, the other hitting Barbaric Hammer.
In the next instant, two figures were violently pulled into the sky.
Only then did everyone come to the realization—Huang Yi had made his move.
He was like an assassin lurking in the shadows, keenly observing the world, seizing every opportunity with precision. He always appeared at the most perilous moment for the enemy, his strikes as swift as a thunderbolt, leaving no survivors. He was omnipresent, catching everyone unawares.
This time, Barbaric Hammer had become his target.
All the Half-Beastmen and players hiding in the distance looked up, stunned at the sight of Huang Yi and Barbaric Hammer high in the sky.
"You beast! Put my child down!" Lord Man Lie stood on the ground, holding his war hammer aloft and bellowing towards the sky.
However, at this moment, his towering and formidable body seemed so insignificant. In the vast expanse of the Void Battlefield, he was as powerless as an ant, unable to intervene in the battle or save his son.
Next, Huang Yi responded to him with action—putting all his strength into a claw strike aimed at Barbaric Hammer!
"Clang!" A sound of metal clashing against metal echoed. Though Barbaric Hammer was so grievously injured he couldn’t move, his skin was like a layer of hard metal that firmly blocked Huang Yi’s claw, not even letting the flames spread upon it.
Conversely, Huang Yi was met with a strong repercussion, and his health points dropped by a small margin.
The ferocity of this Barbaric Hammer as a Leader-level Boss finally came to light; even at death’s door, he was not someone Huang Yi could handle.
"Haha!" Barbaric Hammer’s weakened laughter echoed through the void, "Do you think you can kill me, you fool?"
Barbaric Hammer’s voice traveled from the high skies to the ground, reaching everyone’s ears, even those players hiding in the distance.
"This Leader-level Boss is indeed powerful; even at death’s brink, we can’t break through his defense!"
"I wonder what tricks Instakill has up his sleeve next!"
Players began to discuss in pairs and groups, looking up at Huang Yi, wondering what he would do next.
Watching this scene unfold, Lord Man Lie’s tense expression relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But Huang Yi seemed indifferent to it all, continuing his attacks, continuing to be repelled, his Health Points dwindling ever lower!
He looked as if he had gone foolish!
"Haha, can’t you kill me, so you’ve decided on suicide? That’s a good idea, it saves face and helps you avoid our pursuit!" Barbaric Hammer lay amidst the void, nodding in appraisal.
Finally, Huang Yi’s Health Points were recoiled down to the last 5%!
His face turned deathly pale, his body swaying as if he was on the verge of death.
However, at that moment, he suddenly revealed a sinister smile.
Barbaric Hammer looked up at Huang Yi’s smile with a chill suddenly creeping up his spine, an ominous premonition setting in.
"Colossal Beast Transformation!" The next moment, Huang Yi’s voice thundered in all directions.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than his body swelled up by dozens of times.
Then, a sharp horn emerged on his head, emitting a golden glow, surging towards the moon and stars, connecting with the vast starry sky. Beams of starlight traveled down this glow, pouring into his body through the horn as if infusing him with endless strength.
A pair of massive, flesh-made wings sprouted from his back, eclipsing the sunshine and the starry sky, casting a massive shadow. The wings were speckled with starlight, like a map of the starry universe, with galaxies arranged and planets forming and ceasing within them, an uncanny resemblance to the brilliant cosmos.
On his four paws, dagger-like spikes sprouted, reflecting sharp rays of light under the ghostly moonlight as if they could pierce through all existence in this world.
His fangs rapidly elongated, turning a blood-red color as if he had just feasted on the fresh blood of some beast.
At this moment, Huang Yi had transformed into a ferocious giant beast, as if from an ancient era, not belonging to this realm.
On the ground, everyone unbelievably looked up at the giant beast, rubbing their eyes, thinking they might be seeing things.
However, Barbaric Hammer’s complexion turned pale as death; in the face of the transformed Huang Yi, his large and formidable body now seemed as meek as a puppy.
This was indeed Huang Yi’s Rare Race Ultimate Skill—[Colossal Beast Transformation], which allowed him to transform into a powerful giant beast with flight capability, double all attributes, halve all incoming damage, and last for one minute! The cooldown time was ten days.
