Chapter 1216: Chapter 1218: Battle Chapter 1216: Chapter 1218: Battle The Death Lord had completely lost his consciousness; the moment the thunder magic array had fully erupted, its self-awareness was obliterated by the lightning!
The current Abyss Death Lord was under the mechanical control of the dwarf priest, Situ Kaiss, reduced to his mechanical flesh-and-blood Puppet Beast. As a result, it obeyed Situ Kaiss's commands without question, not hesitating even if ordered to commit suicide.
However, the Death Lord looked somewhat stiff at the moment, as Situ Kaiss had not granted full access. All its movements had to be commanded by Situ Kaiss.
The giant Death Lord charged toward the cage imprisoning the bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast. Its heavy body lumbered like a heavy armored vehicle, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
With a thunderous crash, the Death Lord slammed into the cage, whereupon countless silver Magic Runes appeared on the surface of the iron bars. These were Permanent Runes, designed to enhance the cage's defense against such impacts to prevent its destruction.
But the Death Lord, now a mechanical flesh-and-blood Puppet Beast, had fully unleashed the potential of its fleshy body and had no awareness of protecting itself. Though it had not achieved perfection through the Soul Crystal's evolution, its strength was even greater than its previous fleshly form, reaching the limit that the Permanent Runes could withstand. This caused the runes to appear on the surface of the bars.
The recently regenerated flesh of the Death Lord was severely damaged by the powerful impact once again, and Situ Kaiss, seemingly indifferent, issued another command to continue the assault.
Seeing the Death Lord recklessly ramming the cage, a hint of confusion appeared in the eyes of the bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast; it couldn't understand why the Death Lord would so disregard its own safety to destroy the cage that held it.
Boom, boom, boom…
The relentless attacks finally reached the limit of the Permanent Runes. The iron bars noticeably bent, and the effect of the Permanent Runes began to weaken as the Magic Runes were damaged.
Because the Permanent Runes and the Fire-heating Runes in this cage were combined to form a complete magic array, when the Permanent Runes were damaged, the stability of the entire magic array was compromised, causing the Fire-heating Runes to start crumbling as well.
The Dragon Lizard Beast, highly sensitive to the fire element, displayed an excited gleam in its eyes. It sensed the weakening effect of the Fire-heating Runes in the cage and stared intently at the bent section, continuously spitting out sparks.
Taking a deep breath, it aimed at the bent area and exhaled a scorching Dragon Breath, while the Death Lord, unfazed by the Dragon Breath, did not stop its attack, rigorously carrying out Situ Kaiss's orders to keep pounding the iron bars.
In less than two seconds, the iron bars turned red hot, appearing even to melt. At that moment, the Death Lord slammed into the glowing red bars, breaking a hole through them!
The bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast, seeing the Death Lord break through, did not stop its fire breath. Instead, it intensified the force of the Dragon Breath. Instantly, the surface of the Death Lord's body, which only covered a thin layer of flesh, was burnt to a crisp by the high temperature.
Yet, the Death Lord felt no pain. Even as all its flesh turned to charcoal, it did not stop its relentless charges!
“Damn it, stop, fall back, fall back!” Situ Kaiss bellowed with furrowed brows: “Activate the autonomous adaptation system, you idiot!”
Situ Kaiss also controlled a mechanical flesh Puppet Beast for the first time, and did not delegate control authority to the mechanical brain. Clearly, such a method of control would cause significant damage to the Puppet Beast if an accident occurred!
The moment after Situ Kaiss issued her command, the eyes of Death Lord glowed with a hint of crimson vitality, it flipped to the side, and its massive body rolled over. After covering about ten meters, the Death Lord stood up again, shaking all parts of its body to shake off the charred flesh and completely revealed a silver carapaced beetle with mechanical bones and armor.
Previously, the Death Lord seemed very clumsy, but now, it felt as though it had come to life, becoming very agile.
“Damn, I should have activated this mode earlier!” Situ Kaiss's face turned ashen as a tinge of regret surged through her heart.
Besides its immense strength, the Death Lord also possessed powerful magical abilities, such as acid splashing, thorn impacts, and summoning death beetles–all of these abilities were stored within the flesh of the Death Lord. A Death Lord with an all-metal construction couldn't use these spells.
This was why Situ Kaiss had created the Death Lord as a mechanical flesh Puppet Beast!
Having lost all flesh, the Death Lord retained only its formidable physical attack power but lost the ability to cast spells, which significantly reduced its combat power!
In the crimson eyes of Death Lord, the enemy had already been locked on–the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast. Rows of information cascaded like a waterfall through its vision: system self-check, enemy combat power assessment, battle simulation, and odds of victory prediction. All modules loaded continuously, causing the Death Lord's movements to experience a brief pause.
In the meantime, the Bloodthirsty Dragon Lizard Beast began to charge towards the breach in the cage. With its strong body, it easily enlarged the hole, and its thick scales provided perfect protection from the iron cage.
The Dragon Lizard Beast, having escaped from the cage, immediately targeted the dwarf priest Situ Kaiss as its attack objective and charged straight at him.
“Abyssal Displacement!” Situ Kaiss whispered sharply, and her figure suddenly blurred, leaving behind a vague afterimage that the Dragon Lizard Beast passed through!
Quickly, Situ Kaiss's figure reappeared atop the head of the Death Lord! After stabilizing herself, she released a series of Abyss spells towards the Dragon Lizard Beast.
At that point, the Death Lord, having loaded all its templates, let out a low roar and charged towards the Dragon Lizard Beast with its all-metal body. The two massive bodies wrestled together, while Situ Kaiss hid in the distance, continuously launching ranged attacks at the Dragon Lizard Beast!
Situ Kaiss, who had lost her equipment, experienced a sharp decline in strength. Furthermore, having only recently become an Abyss Priest, she was unfamiliar with many Abyss spells. Even with the Death Lord's assistance, they were unable to completely overwhelm the Dragon Lizard Beast that had just broken out of the cage for the time being.
The battle came to a stalemate, and Song Jian, hiding on the side, waited patiently like an experienced hunter, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow!
