Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 323: Direct Confrontation

Kim Tae-ji was astounded by the formidable assembly: "Lord Amit, with your strength, what kind of enemy could possibly warrant such caution and vigilance from you?"

Amit, in his original behemoth form, could tower over five hundred meters tall, but he had used a technique to reduce his size to just twenty meters for the occasion. Although this made him less conspicuous, the aura he exuded was undiminished, filled with the oppressive and ferocious presence of a top-tier Behemoth.

Amit replied with a hint of pride, "This battle is of great significance to me. Being cautious and careful is always wise."

Hundreds of high-leveled Heroes exchanged glances at the scene.

Amit continued, "If you help me win this battle against the invaders, everyone who participates will be richly rewarded. I promise you a swift rise to power within this empire, becoming its true rulers!"

Hearing this, the Heroes at the scene all showed intrigued expressions.

Kim Tae-ji tentatively asked, "Are you suggesting that...?"

Amit did not hide his intentions. "The Savage Beast Emperor's strength is comparable to mine, but if I obtain what I want from this battle, even he will pose no threat to me. You should understand what this implies."

Upon hearing this, everyone present became excited and invigorated. Amit was a Level 6 legend, ranked around the 30th on the Hero Leaderboard, and controlled all Heroes and Demon Kings within the empire's territories. With such a person gaining even greater power, leveraging his prestige within the empire, commanding a million behemoths, using the Demon Kings' allegiance for support, and utilizing the Heroes infiltrated across all societal layers as insiders--- At that time, Amit could rise up and seize the throne of the empire.

If Amit became the new supreme ruler of the empire, wouldn't those following him be elevated to control over this vast force? With this thought, everyone grew even more excited. Although those with keen intuition had guessed that this day might come, who could have imagined that it would arrive so swiftly?

Before anyone could further contemplate, suddenly, an immensely powerful surge of energy manifested above Behemoth City. The force was so formidable that even Amit, a superbly powerful being, visibly paled and displayed deep apprehension.

"Here they come!"

"Everyone, get ready!"

The Heroes quickly rushed outside the grand hall. As they beheld the scene before them, their expressions changed dramatically. The previously clear sky was now filled with a tumult of energy and lightning.

"What is this?"

"Such powerful energy!"

"Is it some kind of grand magic?"

"Everyone, be ready to block the attack outside the barrier!"

"Where is the enemy?"

"Find him quickly!"

The powerhouses of Behemoth City scrambled in confusion. Countless energies converged in the sky into a vortex, ultimately focusing into a single point, transforming into a massive bolt of lightning that descended from the center of the vortex and pierced through the barrier with a deafening boom. A giant, hundreds of meters tall, composed entirely of energy and wielding an energy spear, stood up from the crater. A mere wave of his hand was enough to create a storm.

Seeing this, Amit's expression shifted. "This is an Arcane Avatar, not its true form. The actual caster must be hiding nearby, maintaining this incarnation. Find him quickly."

"Understood!" Six behemoth chieftains, a dozen of the top-tier Heroes, and hundreds of first-class warriors along with their followers, rapidly began to search for the location of the invader's real body.

"Sensed something!"

"They seem to be to the south!"

"There's more than one, move fast and disrupt them!" The group moved towards the direction of the sensed presence, where they encountered Han Kexin, Nancilia, and others already in position. The battle erupted immediately and became fiercely intense.

Meanwhile, Amit engaged the Arcane Giant Avatar in combat. Both the Behemoth Giant and the Arcane Giant were of Level 6 mythic strength, and their battle was evenly matched, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

"Indeed formidable! You're no ordinary foe!" Amit burst into hearty laughter: "But why do you think you can win on my turf?!"

The Arcane Giant demonstrated tremendous strength, but being on enemy territory was definitely a disadvantage. Amit had a host of supporters and tens of thousands of reinforcement at his side. While the opponent also had allies, they were already under siege.

"Stop holding back! We both possess Eyes of the Evil God. Today, let me see whether yours or mine are superior!"

As Amit spoke, three eyes suddenly appeared on his forehead, side by side. These were the blue "Eye of Element", the purple "Eye of Wraith", and the black "Eye of Destruction", each emitting a terrifying aura.

"Die!"

Amit didn't give his opponent a chance to strike. He activated the Eye of Destruction first, channeling the power of all three Evil God Eyes into the black eye, which unleashed a powerful blast of energy that struck the Arcane Giant. The force of the attack was immensely powerful. The Arcane Giant's spear shattered instantly, and then its body was pierced through. Moreover, the black energy of destruction spread like a web throughout the giant's entire body.

Amit sneered, "My Eye of Destruction is the most devastating among the eight Eyes of Evil God. Be it dead or alive, or even pure energy, nothing can withstand it."

He was extremely proud. With the Eye of Destruction, Amit had defeated countless foes. No one had ever survived a full strike from the Eye of Destruction, and he did not believe this opponent could withstand it either. Although it was just an arcane manifestation, once it was destroyed, it would cause a powerful backlash sufficient to injure its caster, exposing vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

However, just as the Arcane Giant's defenses were breached, a presence hidden within suddenly moved to the forefront---it was none other than Zhang Nu.

Amit's expression changed. He hadn't expected that his opponent was not hiding at a distance but concealed within the Arcane Avatar itself. That explained it. He was trying to draw away Amit's elite guards to create an opportunity for close-quarters combat. This guy was truly overconfident. Didn't he know that Behemoths were the upper-echelon race best at close combat? Creating such a short gap was not only unlikely to result in victory but would likely lead himself into a perilous situation.

At that moment, Zhang Nu unleashed the power of the Eye of Regeneration, instantly negating the negative effects of the Arcane Avatar's destruction and, as he closed in on Amit, activated the Abyssal Realm, enveloping the powerful behemoth.

By the time Amit realized something was amiss, it was too late.

In the next instant, throughout Behemoth City, tens of thousands of elite Behemoths and warriors of the Savage Beast Empire were baffled to find that both the invader and the great Chieftain Amit had vanished. There were no traces of spatial transfer; it was as if they had been swallowed by a parallel universe that had appeared and disappeared suddenly."
