"Three-Headed Hellhound!" Su Mu shouted, and the Three-Headed Hellhound immediately charged forward, roaring as it fired a massive fireball that slammed into the mud hand.
Boom—
The yellow mud hand instantly exploded, splashing mud everywhere.
"Keep going!" Su Mu commanded as he watched. The Three-Headed Hellhound followed the order, and basketball-sized fireballs appeared in the air.
The fireballs roared down like falling meteors, relentlessly bombing the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
However, the Earthbound Demon Spirit suddenly vanished, disappearing without a trace. It reappeared on the other side, crouching low as the mud swamp around it stirred. Mud arrows shot out and solidified in mid-air, heading toward Su Mu.
"Brother Mu, watch out!" An Dashan appeared in front of Su Mu, raising his shield to block the arrows.
The arrows struck the shield with loud bangs, and the immense force pushed An Dashan back step by step.
"Dammit, everyone, attack!" Su Mu shouted angrily. He waved his hand, and the Uniquely Horned Magic Leopard and the Magic-Written Poison Frogs sprang into action, unleashing blood-red lightning and poison arrows at the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
Boom boom boom boom!
A series of explosions rang out, and this time, their attacks finally had an effect. The Earthbound Demon Spirit's massive body was riddled with numerous holes of all sizes.
Roar—
The Earthbound Demon Spirit let out a furious roar, and its grayish glow swirled around it. The swamp below began to churn as it absorbed the surrounding mud, which quickly repaired the holes in its body.
But Su Mu's eyes flashed with a spark. In the split second when the Earthbound Demon Spirit's body was briefly broken, he glimpsed a glimmer of silver light.
Su Mu's mind quickly raced, and his ten years of gaming experience flashed before his eyes. In an instant, he understood everything.
"So that's how it is," Su Mu said, his eyes lighting up. He immediately pulled out an Electromagnetic Thunder and threw it at the Earthbound Demon Spirit without hesitation.
The Electromagnetic Thunder arced through the air and landed squarely on the Earthbound Demon Spirit. Instantly, a blinding electric light filled the entire swamp forest.
The searing lightning ravaged the Earthbound Demon Spirit's body, and it screamed in agony. Its form emitted endless lightning, making its body glow brightly, and there were signs that it might collapse.
Amidst this chaos, Su Mu finally saw clearly that in the heart of the Earthbound Demon Spirit's body, there was a small silver light ball, flickering like a firefly, emitting weak glows.
"Just as I thought. Fatty, attack the light ball, that's its core!"
Su Mu shouted, and a stream of light shot out from his Fire Ring, forming a fiery bird that darted toward the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
This was his C-grade skill, Thousand Birds Flame Strike—a single-target attack with immense power.
Fatty also quickly ate the Grilled Eel Fish Meat, forming a lightning arrow in his hand and launching it at the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
Both of them aimed at the silver core, preparing to destroy it while the Earthbound Demon Spirit was stunned.
However, just at that moment, the ten seconds of the Electromagnetic Thunder ran out, and the lightning on the Earthbound Demon Spirit's body faded. It instantly regained control.
The Earthbound Demon Spirit's body melted into the swamp, vanishing from sight, and it hid away.
Su Mu's face darkened. "Dammit! So close! If I'd known, I would've thrown another one. Now that it's on alert, it'll be much harder to take it down."
As Su Mu lamented, the swamp began to churn again, and thousands upon thousands of mud missiles shot up from it, flying at them like a locust swarm.
Su Mu's face changed. He unleashed his Ice Breath, and blue mist spread through the air, freezing the mud missiles mid-flight, causing them to fall as ice chunks.
At the same time, dozens of blood-sucking bats flew up to form a wall above Su Mu and An Dashan.
Bang bang bang bang!
The mud missiles fell, and nearly all of the Abyssal Monsters, except for the Three-Headed Hellhound, were struck and annihilated instantly.
Su Mu's face turned ashen. The death of so many monsters would also affect him.
"Dammit! You guys attack! Three-Headed Hellhound, blow it up!" Su Mu cursed angrily.
Fireballs launched into the swamp, and violent explosions rocked the area, trees flying and mud splashing everywhere.
Roar—
Under Su Mu's relentless attacks, the Earthbound Demon Spirit finally emerged again, its massive body reappearing in front of Su Mu.
But this time, instead of flowing mud, its body had hardened into a solid black rock form, transforming from a ghostly apparition into a towering rock giant.
Su Mu's face grew even darker. This change in form clearly indicated that the Earthbound Demon Spirit had become wary of him.
"Fatty, take these, and throw them all at once when I say," Su Mu handed over all the Electromagnetic Thunders he had to An Dashan, speaking solemnly.
"Got it. Just tell me when, and I'll throw them all at once," An Dashan agreed.
Su Mu nodded, his eyes fixed on the Earthbound Demon Spirit as he pressed his palm onto the Staff of the Undead to activate his Undead Empowerment.
[Undead Empowerment skill successfully used, Three-Headed Hellhound's level increased to 15.]
A purple light entered the Three-Headed Hellhound's body, causing its massive form to grow even larger, reaching ten meters tall in the blink of an eye.
Its black flames became almost tangible, raising the temperature of the entire forest. Even steam began to rise from the swamp.
At the same time, as the Three-Headed Hellhound's level increased, a strange mist rose from the Earthbound Demon Spirit's body. Its aura spiked, and its level also increased.
"Now, Fatty, go!" Su Mu shouted, and with a thought, a six-pointed star array appeared beneath the Three-Headed Hellhound's feet. Its body instantly vanished into the array.
Simultaneously, Su Mu's black Undead robe appeared, and a six-pointed star array glowed brightly on it, with eerie black flames pouring out from the array, enveloping Su Mu's body.
Boom—
Su Mu's foot slammed into the ground, and his figure shot forward like an arrow, launching straight toward the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
The black flames surrounding him transformed into a full suit of lava armor, and a long sword made of blazing flames appeared in his right hand.
Zzz—
A surge of lightning several times more powerful than before erupted, causing the Earthbound Demon Spirit's enormous form to tremble violently. Its black rock armor cracked and shattered like porcelain under the lightning.
At the same time, Fatty threw all the Electromagnetic Thunders he had in his hand.
The combined effect of the nine Electromagnetic Thunders was devastating, instantly interrupting the Earthbound Demon Spirit's attempt to level up.
Su Mu seized the opportunity, charging forward like a madman, recklessly throwing himself at the Earthbound Demon Spirit.
This scene was captured by An Dashan, Mo Xiaobei, and countless spectators watching via drones, sparking an explosive reaction.
"Brother Mu!" It was An Dashan's voice. He never imagined Su Mu would charge forward. Not to mention, he was a summoner, not a warrior.
Let alone the indiscriminate lightning domain, any sane person would never dare to do something like that.
Mo Xiaobei was equally shocked. She couldn't believe that Su Mu would choose to engage in melee combat. This was essentially asking for death!
Her green wings fluttered behind her, and she was ready to intervene at any moment.
Meanwhile, the barrage of comments exploded when Su Mu made his move.
"!!!!!!!! Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ"
"!!!!!!! !!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ"
No words—just countless exclamation marks, enough to express the shock of the viewers.
At this moment, everyone believed Su Mu had lost his mind, and many began silently mourning.
