Chapter 1700: Execution Threshold
Extending a hand toward Bar’s location, Yang Yu’s magic power rapidly spread around, enveloping himself:
"[Magnetic Vortex]!"
As Yang Yu commanded, an unimaginable massive suction formed around him.
Everything around was pulled toward Yang Yu, and in an instant, black magic power danced, swirling around Yang Yu, forming a continuously rotating black tornado.
Baal gradually became unable to move, and he released more black magic power from his body, like daggers stabbing into the ground, trying to disrupt Yang Yu’s Magnetic Vortex and prevent himself from being drawn over, yet he still could not avoid being pulled toward Yang Yu.
The effect of the Magnetic Vortex changes depending on the power difference between the user and the one being attracted.
The stronger the user compared to the attracted, the better the effect of the [Magnetic Vortex].
Yang Yu had used this move on Qiuye or Lotcar, the effect was barely within an acceptable range, but definitely not powerful.
Now, due to various buffs applied by Iyas, and Yang Yu actively lowering his own blood volume to continuously refresh his passive, his attributes have reached a terrifying extent.
This skill, even against Baal, could have a significant effect.
Seeing it difficult to shake off Yang Yu’s Magnetic Vortex, Baal did the opposite, throwing the black magic power surging from his body toward Yang Yu at the center of the field, forming an even larger black tornado.
The black tornado roared incessantly, spewing black lightning inward, striking Yang Yu.
Black spurs grew from the shield, Yang Yu activated [Steel Spur Shield], continuously reducing the damage brought by the lightning.
Immediately after, Yang Yu released [Rapid Cover] toward Gao Yuanyi’s direction, activating [Red Blood Path].
In an instant, Yang Yu left the magnetic field, transforming into a red comet, crashing through the gradually normalizing black magic power, and rushing toward Baal’s back.
As the attraction weakened, Baal’s body barely became lighter, Yang Yu’s attack reached his back.
On the other side, Gao Yuanyi also raised a massive mechanical fist, adjusted his posture, and launched another attack toward him.
Baal tried to mobilize the black magic power previously released to protect himself, only to discover it was still being tightly absorbed by Yang Yu’s magnetic field.
Yang Yu’s Magnetic Vortex was not targeted at Baal but against the black magic power released by Baal.
Rapidly leaving the Magnetic Vortex with a dash skill, the Magnetic Vortex would not stop immediately, but rather continue to operate on its original trajectory for a while.
Through numerous experiments, Yang Yu discovered that he had many skills that could form a linkage, but since the attacks Yang Yu regularly faced were quite dangerous, and some linkage skills were merely for show and required harsh conditions, Yang Yu hadn’t developed much of those skills’ linkage effects.
But today, he happened to be able to use the interactive effect between [Magnetic Vortex] and [Rapid Cover] to pull the smoke-like substance entwining others into the Magnetic Vortex.
This battle plan was considerably risky, as the black magic power was highly corrosive.
If Demon Baal had means to quickly drive the black magic power within the Magnetic Vortex to attack, it would be a self-destructive attack.
Donning a red garment, Yang Yu activated [Fury Blood], turning lost life value into part of the attack.
Gao Yuanyi was eager, carrying the large mechanical fist, approaching closely.
In a moment, Demon Baal was caught in a dilemma.
Baal once again released the magic power within to try to blow Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi away and regroup.
But neither Yang Yu nor Gao Yuanyi showed any signs of retreating.
If one person dared to exploit demon magic, surely a second, a third would dare to use the released magic to avoid barrier detection and enter the barrier.
Now only by quickly killing Yang Yu or severely injuring him to the point he couldn’t get up, would there be a chance to escape while others were concerned about Yang Yu.
...perhaps, he could negotiate using Yang Yu and the others.
If you refuse to let me go, you are indeed noble, but would your comrades be as noble as you to ignore a partner’s death?
Baal formed a new plan in his mind but somewhat overlooked the difficulty of completing this task.
After all, Baal never faced just Yang Yu alone.
Yang Yu, clad in Fury Blood, charged forward, a sharp sword blade stabbing toward Baal’s chest, and Baal swung the black sword to block Yang Yu’s attack.
As Baal focused his attention on Yang Yu, Gao Yuanyi seized the opportunity and, using [Ghost Shadow Assault], suddenly appeared behind Demon Baal.
Demon Baal noticed Gao Yuanyi’s approach, yet couldn’t spare a hand, taking Gao Yuanyi’s attack.
Unexpectedly for Demon Baal, Gao Yuanyi’s attack wasn’t as powerful as imagined, only lightly landing a punch.
However, Gao Yuanyi’s punch was not simple.
On Gao Yuanyi’s ghost horn, blue light blossomed, fully activating his ability [Green-faced Ghost King]; after causing damage once, his next three attacks would have an additional 50% damage.
"Laplace, [Violent Disassembly]."
The massive mechanical arm rapidly rotated, a green grid lit up on the inside, and infinite thunder converged on [Laplace].
Gao Yuanyi threw a powerful punch forward, violently striking Demon Baal’s back, instantly countless electric lights surged, emitting a roar of furious energy.
Baal suddenly felt a mighty force tearing at his body from behind, wanting to completely dismantle him.
Baal’s blood volume instantly fell from the cautionary orange-yellow to a dangerous red, and in one breath, dropped by 30% of his maximum life.
[Violent Disassembly] is a powerful single-target skill of [Laplace], capable of causing 500% of the user’s strength or 20% of the target’s maximum life value as true damage. The actual damage depends on which value is higher.
The maximum life is already below 20%, Baal sensed an immense danger approaching.
Gao Yuanyi’s massive mechanical arm continued its rapid rotation, and another green grid lit up inside, as thunder gradually gathered in his hand.
Without hesitation, Gao Yuanyi unleashed [Violent Disassembly] once more.
If this attack hit, Baal would directly meet his end in the Netherworld.
Without any hesitation, Baal took a deep breath, his pitch-black body spewed countless ping-pong ball-sized beads, bombarding the nearby Gao Yuanyi and Yang Yu densely.
To survive, even if only temporarily, Demon Baal fully gave up the Demon Gathering Core of other demons, using those as a temporary weapon.
Indeed, there was quite a bit of magic power in the Giant Demon Core, which could cause considerable damage upon detonation.
But, this was ultimately Baal’s death throes.
Yang Yu did not dodge the incoming Demon Gathering Cores, further lowering his blood volume amidst the bam to convert his blood volume into output on the sword blade.
Baal, entered his execution line.
