Zither Emperor Chapter 952 Chapter 303 Gliding Kill Part 2

952: Chapter 303: Gliding Kill (Part 2) 952: Chapter 303: Gliding Kill (Part 2) In the Ryuzakinus Continent, mages cast magic through incantations; however, some magic is an exception—powerful sorcerers may instantaneously cast lower-level magics without incantations.

Yet, Abyssal Plane mages seemed to lack this limit altogether.

Their magic was mostly instantaneous.

However, while the Abyssal Plane possessed the advantage of instant spellcasting, it also suffered from a significant flaw in self-recovery and protection capabilities.

This issue was something Ye Yinzhu had discerned from his initial battle with the female witches and had only confirmed his conclusion at this moment.

You need to know; even the least of the Demon Kings from the Abyssal Plane were at least of Zi rank, with the likes of the top three Demon Kings reaching the ranks of Sub-God level.

Nevertheless, in the battles against Ye Yinzhu—or rather, against Male Witch Gaussba, controlled by Ye Yinzhu—he had repeatedly perceived their weaknesses.

That was, if their magic failed, they would struggle to preserve their lives.

Of course, in the Human World, mages faced a similar weakness.

After all, mages bat with magic, and their physical prowess is quite fragile, leading to a miserable fate if warriors closed in on them.

But in the Human World, such weaknesses were typical only of lower-level mages.

Once a mage reached Zi rank, such occurrences ceased to happen.

First, Zi rank mages could nearly instantaneously cast all magics below Green rank.

Moreover, upon entering the Zi rank, gaining the title of Grand Sorcerer, these mages held immensely high status in the Human World.

Besides their own capabilities, they would be extensively equipped with various items necessary for survival, such as magic scrolls or Divine Artifacts.

Therefore, once Human World mages attained Zi rank, their survivability on the battlefield was extremely high.

Apart from the protection of their guards, the equipment they possessed was the best means for survival.

Yet, what could these Abyssal Demon Kings, equivalent to human Zi rank mages, rely on for their protection?

In one-on-one situations, they could not mand their subordinates to defend them.

Once their magic paused, they could only watch helplessly as the enemy launched an attack.

Even the Clone Technique used by the Ninth Demon King was a power intrinsic to her being, not something she achieved with external assistance or magical items.

Never underestimate the power of equipment.

How did Ye Yinzhu defeat Master of the Dark Tower, Slone?

Even having reached the Sub-God level, his strength was not on par with Slone, who was of the Eighth Rank of Sub-God rank.

Nonetheless, the gap between them was great.

But still, he had achieved the last victory thanks to the help of several Super Divine Artefacts he possessed.

The Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither, Super Divine Instrument, The Hammer of Thor, and the bined Super Divine Artefact Armor from the Four Sacred Beasts enabled Ye Yinzhu to ignore the disparity between him and Slone.

And destroyed the opposition.

Even now, with Ye Yinzhu using these pieces of equipment, even the Little Dragon Lady might not be his match.

Having confirmed this thought, Ye Yinzhu had achieved his intended purpose for this reconnaissance mission and had identified the greatest advantage his side could leverage.

Maybe, the bat power of the Abyssal Plane was formidable, but they lacked their own civilization, let alone technology.

With human possession of far more powerful equipment, how could humanity not achieve the final victory?

With this newfound confidence, Ye Yinzhu had already devised an entire strategy against the Abyssal Plane.

All he needed to do was implement it upon his return, and the holy war could begin.

Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power was incredibly strong; his train of thought did not hinder him from concluding the battle.

The moment the Two-headed Abomination with terrifying light flashing in its eyes reached the Ninth Demon King, the oute of the battle was already sealed.

The Ninth Demon King’s magic contained nothing quite as powerful as the Sun Moon Ice Ring, and against the evolutionarily advanced goliath that was the Two-headed Abomination, her magics could not secure victory quickly.

One must understand that the Two-headed Abomination controlled by Ye Yinzhu was second in strength only to the Lord rank Two-headed Blue Abomination.

Two massive golden lights suddenly flashed.

Barely managing to gather a hint of Death Energy for a retreat aiming to cast the Sun Moon Ice Ring again, the Ninth Demon King found that Ye Yinzhu did not afford her the chance to accumulate enough Death Energy.

Her pair of arms were brutally cleaved off by a huge scythe several meters in length.

According to the Great Demon King’s words, as long as the opponent wasn’t killed, it wasn’t considered foul play.

Moreover, the Third Demon King had already mentioned crippling the Ninth Demon King.

Thus, why would Ye Yinzhu hold back?

Despite the Ninth Demon King appearing as a beautiful young girl, Ye Yinzhu was acutely aware of how cold-blooded and evil the abyssal creatures were.

Their current forms were all transformations they achieved later in life; the true nature of these abyssal creatures was nothing but ugliness.

The scream caused the Ninth Demon King’s recently condensed death energy to drain away with the injury, and now, the only thing left in her eyes was fear.

“Don’t kill me,” the Ninth Demon King roared in terror.

Her face had twisted pletely, and at that moment, she had lost not only her bat strength but also all desire to fight.

She simply hoped to survive.

Although she had lost her arms, as long as she could keep her position as the Demon King, regenerating a pair of arms by devouring other abyssal creatures wouldn’t be difficult.

“Of course, I won’t kill you.

We still have to follow the rules.

However…”

The golden light flashed again, and this time, the Ninth Demon King lost her legs.

Her once slender and beautiful legs shriveled away from her body, turning into a pile of disgusting rotting flesh as soon as they detached – this was the true form of the Female Witch, akin to maggot-like beings.

The Two-headed Abomination didn’t mind at all; the giant scythe in its hands swiftly picked up the limbs of the Ninth Demon King and delivered them to its mouth, chewing a few times before swallowing.

Even though it only devoured parts of the Ninth Demon King’s body, when the devouring ended, a pale blue glow flashed across the Two-headed Abomination, indicating that its evolution to the next rank was not far off.

Ye Yinzhu had pletely incapacitated the Ninth Demon King.

Although he didn’t know the Third Demon King’s purpose, weakening the enemy’s strength by any means necessary was the right move.

The Third Demon King’s gaze towards Ye Yinzhu seemed to grow gentler, but the fleeting wariness in the depths of her eyes didn’t escape Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power scan.

As they watched the Ninth Demon King’s limbs get severed by Ye Yinzhu, both the Fourth and Seventh Demon Kings’ faces changed drastically.

They wanted to intervene but restrained themselves.

After all, they had no say in the changing of the Demon King positions.

The Seventh Demon King could only pick up the Ninth Demon King, who had lost consciousness pletely, and carry her away.

By the time she left the arena, her body had begun to transform drastically, a sign of regression due to the severe injuries.

Clearly, this Ninth Demon King was no longer of Witch Lord rank, and evolving back would not be so easy.

By defeating the Ninth Demon King, Ye Yinzhu naturally took her position.

By all accounts, he didn’t break any rules, as he had spared the Ninth Demon King’s life.

However, a string of victories had caused the atmosphere at the venue to grow tense.

The next in line, the Eighth Demon King, didn’t leave the boulder she stood on for a long time, just quietly watching Ye Yinzhu below.

Not just her, but even the top three Demon Kings amongst them started to feel that they couldn’t quite see through Male Witch Gaussba.

If his victory over the Twelfth Demon King was somewhat lucky, the strength he demonstrated in the subsequent battles, along with his quick response and clever skill application, greatly shocked the other Demon Kings.

Especially the way he had suddenly found a blind spot against the Giant Golden Scythe, summoning four Abominations to capture his opponent and use the Death Contract, and the way he had just finished the battle by summoning a large number of lower-ranked ghouls to break the Ninth Demon King’s advanced Clone Technique, left a deep impression on all the Demon Kings.

For the first time, they discovered that Male Witch skills could be used in such a manner, and the effectiveness was so great that it seemed to reverse the usual restraint between Male Witches and Female Witches.

The Ninth Demon King’s wretched defeat made the Eighth Demon King hesitate.

How could that rank not fear death?

Attaining their current authority was no easy feat, requiring countless efforts.

Losing it as the Ninth Demon King had, forced into regression, would undoubtedly be more unbearable than death.

Thus, the Eighth Demon King hesitated whether to make a move.

In her opinion, Ye Yinzhu’s killing and injuring of the Ninth Demon King was to maximize absorption of the opponent’s body within the rules to replenish his own strength, without overthinking it.

This method had also appeared in challenges a century ago.

“I forfeit; I am willing to give up my position.” After weighing the pros and cons, the Eighth Demon King, most unwillingly, said the same thing the Tenth Demon King had and stepped down, moving to the position where the Ninth Demon King had stood before.

By now, Ye Yinzhu had fulfilled the Third Demon King’s requirement for him to break into the top eight.

In fact, this was something even the Third Demon King herself hadn’t anticipated.
