Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Demon Lord of the Half-Step Monarch
At this moment.
Aster Grant’s cold gaze swept over the dense Demon Clan army ahead, killing intent evident in his eyes.
Demon Clan...
The mortal enemy of humanity!
This vile group... dares to invade Azurea!
The demons, startled by this sudden change, halted their attack.
The leading demons warily assessed this suddenly appeared human...
Could he be an expert of the Human Race?
Right now, the Demon Lord at Monarch Peak is dead, and each spatial rift can only allow one Monarch level through.
If this human is at the Monarch level, then the Demon Lord’s plan...
Is surely doomed!!
However.
When they perceived Aster Grant’s true level, they immediately erupted in piercing laughter:
"Mere Commander Tier One, daring to play the savior? How utterly foolish!"
"The Human Race truly is a bunch of overconfident fools!"
"This is why such beings as humans should be eliminated! Knowing it’s death, yet still standing in our way!"
"Wait! On that human’s forehead...."
"It’s the Divine Pattern! The Divine Pattern the Demon God desires is on him!"
"Kill him! Complete the Demon God’s task!"
Seeing the Divine Pattern on Aster Grant’s forehead, the demons went wild, their scarlet eyes filled with greed.
Meanwhile, Orion Winslow, hearing the words "Divine Pattern," also came to his senses.
His gaze fell on Aster Grant’s forehead.
Seeing the obvious golden markings there, his pupils contracted.
Oh no!
He stepped forward without hesitation, shielding Aster Grant behind him:
"Aster, you shouldn’t be here!"
His voice carried a sense of urgency like never before:
"As long as you and the Divine Pattern don’t fall into the hands of the Demon Clan, humanity still has hope!"
Orion Winslow was more aware than anyone of Aster Grant’s talent.
This young man was the greatest genius in the history of Draconia, bar none!
Even at the Extraordinary Level, he was able to slay Commander Level enemies across levels!
And he had awakened two major talents!
Yet even so...
Aster Grant must not fall into the hands of these demons!
"Aster, leave here immediately!"
Orion Winslow’s gaze was fixed on the demons ahead, urging Aster Grant continuously to leave.
But Aster Grant didn’t move, he simply said mildly:
"Mr. Winslow, what if I said I could deal with these demons?"
At these words, Orion Winslow was momentarily stunned.
Deal with these demons?!
How could that be?!
Aster Grant had just reached Commander Level, how could he possibly be a match for these high-tier demon commanders?
What’s more terrifying is...
Among the Demon Clan, there was a Winged Demon who hadn’t even made a move!
Its presence made even Orion Winslow tremble.
Though it hadn’t reached the Monarch Level, it had already reached the limits of the Commander Level.
Half-Step Monarch Level!
Logically, only those Beast Tamers who broke through to Monarch Level via the Sanctum Pool could handle a half-step Monarch level demon.
But to guard against other rifts, all Fake King Levels had already been dispatched from Crestholm.
"Aster, Commander Level demons aren’t that simple! The higher their level, the stronger their command over domains!"
"Low-tier Commander Level Beast Tamers don’t even qualify to deploy domains before them!"
At Commander Level, battles among Beast Tamers already centered on domains.
The stronger the control over a domain, the more power can be wielded.
Orion Winslow could understand Aster Grant.
At Extraordinary Tier One, he already possessed Extraordinary Tier Nine combat power.
Now having broken through to Commander Tier One, he similarly thought he could rival Commander Tier Nine.
But obviously...
Extraordinary Level and Commander Level are completely different concepts!
The remaining Commander Level Beast Tamers, seeing this, also stepped forward, blocking Aster Grant, advising:
"Winslow is right, Aster, you need to leave here quickly, this battlefield has nothing to do with you!"
They didn’t fear death.
But they feared the entire Human Race losing its future.
Now the Second Mystic Realm and Third Mystic Realm have fallen into the hands of the Demon Clan.
They were well aware...
It’s as hard as climbing the sky to snatch them back from these demons.
Therefore, the Divine Pattern in Aster Grant’s possession was humanity’s only Divine Pattern obtained.
As long as this Divine Pattern remained with humanity...
There would still be a chance for humans!
However.
Aster Grant slowly stepped out of the circle of protection.
He understood the good intentions of Orion Winslow and others, but his combat prowess...
Couldn’t be judged by the usual Commander Tier One standards!
Moreover...
His gaze fell on his four bonded beasts.
Each beast needed to absorb a certain amount of energy to level up.
And to elevate all four beasts to Commander Tier Nine required a massive amount of energy.
And with so many Commander Level demons here...
How could he miss this opportunity?!
But the concerns of Orion Winslow and others were not without reason, to deal with these demons...
We must first disable their domains!
Otherwise...
No matter how strong his beasts are, under domain suppression, dealing with so many Commander Level demons is an impossible task!
Thinking of this, a chill flashed in Aster Grant’s eyes, and he unhesitatingly activated his ability.
"Absolute Forbidden Domain!"
In an instant, a blood-colored screen unfolded violently, like a tide engulfing the entire battlefield swiftly.
Before Orion Winslow and others could react, they felt the domain power within them suddenly freeze——
What’s going on?!
Without domain support, everyone plummeted from the sky, but the robust physique of Commander Level allowed them to land safely.
Yet at this moment, every face was painted with shock.
"My domain... is sealed?!"
"Even my beast’s domain can’t be used!"
Seeing this, Aster Grant’s corner of the mouth twitched.
This forbidden domain, while powerful, was indifferently suppressive.
Even he could only barely maintain his primary domain’s operation internally, unable to project it outside.
The demon ranks descended into chaos similarly.
Except for a few winged demons, the rest plummeted like dumplings into the water.
Even that half-step Monarch level Winged Demon, who had been watching coldly, finally had a change of expression——
This human...is problematic!
To prevent everyone from using domains, could it be the Divine Pattern’s function?
This half-step Monarch level Winged Demon could only attribute this bizarre spectacle to the Divine Pattern!
He hadn’t thought at all that such bizarre ability was actually this human’s domain!
And Aster Grant’s gaze also firmly locked onto this Winged Demon.
From this demon, he felt a deep threat!
[The Winged Demon King]
[Talent: Demon Lord (equivalent to Legend)]
[Level: Half-Step Monarch]
[Power: 55000]
[Constitution: 53000]
[Spiritual: 41000]
[Speed: 57000]
[Skills: Demon King Domain, Demon King’s Body...]
Seeing through this demon lord’s attributes, Aster Grant’s expression turned somewhat grave.
This Winged Demon King’s attributes were terrifying.
Average attributes of fifty thousand points!
This is nearly five times the Lazuli attributes!
But faced with such a formidable enemy, he couldn’t retreat...
If he couldn’t deal with this most powerful Winged Demon King, all efforts would be in vain!
