Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 340: Ice and Thunder
Under normal circumstances, the chance of a high-level Destruction Knight successfully passing the "ultimate calamity" with three dangerous levels and evolving into a true ultimate Destruction Knight is extremely small. Even with Ibola's conditions and situation, he was fortunately subdued by me in the middle stage and became my subordinate, and received full support from me, the undead wizard master. Whether it was the dark attribute energy or the accompanying wind attribute energy, as well as the "immortality" reserves obtained by killing the undead ghost phoenix, they have basically reached the maximum level that can be achieved with his innate qualifications. Unfortunately, due to the "malnutrition" in the early growth process, it brought considerable restrictions to its growth in the middle and late stages. The chance of successfully passing the test of the "ultimate calamity" is still not very high. I also couldn't directly help Ibola fight against the three "ultimate heavenly tribulations" that were more powerful than before. Whether it was the "ice and thunder double heavens" that came at the same time, or the "human tribulations" brought by the powerful chief judge, they were not something that I and my subordinates, the four vampire fang princes, such as Shaman, formed into the vampire fang emperor, or the "great pyramid sky cage and earth lock array" set up by Khufu and others, could directly resist and contend with. If I forced myself to come forward, I was afraid that I would only bring disaster upon myself and fall into the target of the "ultimate heavenly tribulation". In addition to sending myself to death in vain and sacrificing the lives of several more of my subordinates, it would not be of much help to Ibola's successful tribulation. Unless I was willing to gather all my capable subordinates, do my best, and help Ibola fight against the "ultimate heavenly tribulation" regardless of the losses, otherwise there would be no chance of winning. The small fights under the mentality of being afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind would not only be useless, but would only lose more subordinates.
I cannot openly help Ebola to face the "ultimate catastrophe" head-on, but it does not mean that I, as the master, will really stand by and watch, and turn a blind eye to Ebola's experience of the "ultimate catastrophe", leaving it to fend for itself. In that case, the possibility of its success in the catastrophe is absolutely not optimistic, and the probability of failure can be said to be quite high. If Ebola wants to successfully withstand the test of the "ultimate catastrophe" and evolve into a true ultimate knight of destruction, it still cannot do without the help of me, the master of the undead wizard. I need to do some small actions in secret to help it when it encounters the attack of the "ultimate catastrophe". After all, an ultimate knight of destruction with strength comparable to that of a holy beast can bring me considerable help, but it cannot be easily lost. Fortunately, I got some more detailed information about the three "ultimate catastrophes" from the tenth-level necromancer NPC, so I can predict in advance some situations that Ibora may encounter, and thus formulate targeted contingency plans and measures. At that time, I can provide Ibora with greater assistance in a timely manner according to the specific actual situation, so as to avoid being at a loss at the critical moment and missing the opportunity, which will cause Ibora to fail to survive the catastrophe.
The first thing to do is to use the power of the "Soul Contract" to provide a little help to Ebola when the "Ice and Thunder Double Heaven" comes. Although before Ebola successfully survives the "Ultimate Heavenly Tribulation" and becomes the real Ultimate Destruction Knight, the "Soul Contract" connection between me and it is in a state of being cut off, and I cannot directly help it. However, Ebola also has a very powerful auxiliary means, which is to summon the demon spirit Xiaobai to possess it, increase the ability of "instant movement" and speed up some movements. This should play a significant role in its fight against the "Ultimate Heavenly Tribulation", which has been confirmed in the first two "Thunder Tribulation" tests. Xiaobai attached to Ebola's body will still maintain the connection of the "Soul Contract" with me. I can use this to further strengthen its fit with Ebola through the role of the "Soul Contract", and try to ensure that even if Ebola encounters an attack of too high intensity or even damage, it will not affect Xiaobai's ability to play or even be forced to peel off the state of possession. After all, Xiaobai is only a level nine undead. Relying on his unique identity and special abilities as a demon spirit, and the fact that Ibola was only level ten mid-level before, he would not encounter too strong attacks, so he was safe and sound in the state of possession. But now Ibola has evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, which is beyond the level ten upper level and holy beast level. He is facing the "Ultimate Heavenly Tribulation" that may put him to death. The gap between his strength and Xiaobai's is too big, and the intensity of the attack is likely to exceed the upper limit that Xiaobai can bear. Even if he is under the summoning possession, Xiaobai's body will not suffer direct damage, but will be forcibly shaken out of the state of possession, and Ibola must issue a summon again before he can re-possess. However, Ibola only has two opportunities to summon Xiaobai to possess him every day. If the "Ultimate Heavenly Tribulation" is too powerful and shakes Xiaobai away twice in succession, and Xiaobai can no longer be summoned to possess him, Ibola's situation will probably be even worse. Therefore, I must strengthen my control over Xiaobai through the "Soul Contract", help it relieve or offset some of the pressure brought to it by external attacks, enhance its resistance, and prevent it from being easily shaken out of the state of possession between it and Ibola. With the addition of Xiaobai possessing it, the increased advantages in speed will definitely help Ibola successfully pass the test of the "ultimate catastrophe", and it should not be neglected.
The other is indirect help from me. The method of sending my men into the robbery zone to help Yibora resist the "heavenly robbery" as before is no longer feasible this time. Facing the "ultimate heavenly robbery", the "ice and thunder double heaven" makes the upper-level black bone dragon of level nine unable to resist. I am afraid that as soon as it enters the robbery zone, before it can get close to Yibora, it will be smashed to pieces by the lightning and freezing attack, and it will not be able to provide any help. Perhaps only the tenth-level undead can withstand the power of the "ice and thunder double heaven", but I don't have so many tenth-level undead men to help Yibora survive the "ultimate heavenly robbery", and I won't be willing to let the limited tenth-level undead under my men sacrifice so easily. The most effective method is still "mental attack", using it to attack the robbery cloud, and using indirect attacks to weaken the power of lightning and freezing, which should have some effect on Yibora. Although with the power of "Ice and Thunder", my basic mental power of Super Silver Level 2 would certainly be difficult to resist, and the powerful reaction force of "mental attack" might even endanger my own life, but I have the artifact "Death Control" to help. With the improvement of my level and basic mental power, its function has been further enhanced. In addition, through the professional discussion on the function of "Soul Contract" found in the task of "Wisdom Eyes to Identify Monuments", I found a way to use "Death Control" to control other undead subordinates who have signed "Soul Contracts" with me to share the reaction force brought by "mental attack", so as to reduce the damage to myself. As long as I see the right time, I will use "mental attack" to weaken the power of "Ice and Thunder" at the same time. I believe it will be helpful to Ebola.
As for other means of help, I can only rely on improvisation when the time comes. After all, the information about the "ultimate catastrophe" obtained from the tenth-level necromancer NPC is only a rough outline. It is not too detailed, and I don't know what the situation will be like when the "ultimate catastrophe" comes. I can only plan these first and try my best to be prepared to help at any time. As long as it successfully survives the "ultimate catastrophe", Ibola will be a super strong man comparable to the holy beast. Naturally, I will try my best to protect it.
The evolution period of more than ten days passed quickly. Like the previous times, apart from the continuous absorption of my spiritual power, no other accidents occurred during the period. However, when I felt that Ibora was about to complete, I made an exception and went offline for a longer rest to recover my tired spirit and maintain as much energy as possible to indirectly help Ibora fight against the upcoming "ultimate heavenly calamity". At the same time, hundreds of black bone dragons were also drawn to gather nearby, on the one hand as a source of my spiritual power, and on the other hand to share the huge reaction force that "spiritual attack" might bring. After a relatively sufficient rest, I went online again for half a day, and Ibora finally successfully completed the evolution, broke out of the cocoon, and soared into the sky. In an instant, the sky changed color, black clouds rolled, and the signs of "heavenly calamity" appeared. The next moment, it will fall on Ibora.
Ibora, who has evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, has not yet restored the spiritual connection with me. I don't know what its specific abilities are now, but just looking at its appearance, it has undergone a significant change, and it looks even more fierce. Its body shape is still the same as before, and it has not become taller. After all, the Destruction Knight with wind attributes is good at speed, and a large body size will easily affect its speed. However, its body surface presents four colors - black representing the dark attribute, bluish-white representing the wind attribute, blood color symbolizing bloodthirsty desire, and the newly added dark gold, which change and shine, appearing bizarre and increasingly weird.
The calamity clouds in the sky were rapidly gathering and forming, but because the "thunder calamity" and "ice calamity" were coming at the same time, two calamity cloud vortices were formed, one was purple-black, which should be the "thunder calamity", and the other was black and white, which should be the "ice calamity". They quickly connected together, which would bring great trouble to Ebola in the form of "ice and thunder double heaven". Ebola also had a premonition of the huge danger that was about to be encountered, and he dealt with it with all his attention. He first swiftly moved in the air, trying his skills a little, probably to experience his newly enhanced abilities, and then immediately summoned Xiaobai to possess him, preparing to dodge the attacks of the "thunder calamity" and "ice calamity". It can be seen that the strength of Ebola, who has evolved into the Ultimate Destruction Knight, has indeed improved to a considerable extent, and his speed has become faster, especially when he did not summon the demon spirit Xiaobai to possess him, he actually performed "instant teleportation", which seems to be a great gain after accumulating enough wind attribute energy. In this way, with the speed and ability further improved by Xiaobai's possession, the probability of surviving the bombardment of "ice and thunder double heaven" should be a little greater.
The "ultimate heavenly tribulation" finally arrived. The "thunder tribulation" was still the inherent mode, with lightning and thunder, and thick lightning beams struck down on the head, accompanied by bursts of thunder. Compared with the previous "nine-level thunder tribulation", the power was much . At the beginning, it was an attack method of lightning chain plus rolling thunder, which was almost comparable to the first level of "thunder tribulation" when the intermediate level evolved to the advanced level. At the same time, there was also an "ice tribulation" to help the evil. On the surface, pieces of ice were smashed towards Ebola, and combined with lightning and thunder to attack Ebola, it seemed that invisible freezing air would be spewed out secretly. As long as Ebola was hit, a thin layer of ice would form on the surface of its body, making it inconvenient to move, slowing down its movements, and losing its speed advantage, it would be more difficult to dodge the attacks of lightning and ice, causing it greater damage. "Ice and Thunder" was indeed extraordinary in power. From the beginning, it brought considerable pressure to Ebola, and it was not something that could be easily dealt with.
Of course, these were just minor incidents. Ibola was not so easily knocked down. Although it was a little embarrassed at first, probably because it was not used to the attack method of "Ice and Thunder", it was hit several times by invisible freezing air. It encountered lightning and ice strikes, but as the ultimate knight of destruction with the most practical combat ability, the powerful strength of the holy beast level made those attacks unable to cause much damage to it. Its excellent combat instinct also made it quickly adapt to the new attack method and know how to deal with two different double attacks. Relying on its super fast movement speed, plus the ability of "instant teleportation" as further protection, at least it was quite easy to deal with it in the early stage. For the time being, I didn't need to use "mental attack" to indirectly help it. I just used the effectiveness of "soul contract" to help Xiaobai strengthen the control of Ibola's possession effect so that it would not be forcibly shaken away by the increasingly fierce "Ice and Thunder" offensive.
As the power of "Ice and Thunder" became stronger and stronger, Ibola was not so calm in dealing with it. Under the double attack, both were large-scale attacks. Even if Ibola used his speed and "teleportation", it was increasingly difficult to dodge the "Thunder Tribulation" and "Ice Tribulation". More and more of them were hit and suffered varying degrees of damage. Fortunately, I could see that Ibola's defense ability had also been greatly enhanced. For the time being, they were only some flesh wounds, not very serious. He still seemed quite calm in his advances and retreats, and his life was not threatened. In addition to strengthening the control over Xiaobai through the "Soul Contract", I mainly observed the operation and attack of "Thunder Tribulation" and "Ice Tribulation" to determine when was the most appropriate time to launch a "mental attack" and weaken the power of "Ice and Thunder" attacks, so as to make the most adequate preparations for helping Ibola fight against the "Heavenly Tribulation" later.
I saw that it was becoming increasingly difficult for Ibora to dodge the increasingly powerful "Ice and Thunder Double Heavens". He was constantly hurt. His injuries were not serious, but the frequency of being hit increased a lot. The cumulative effect would also cause quite serious consequences. Considering that the mysterious chief judge was chasing him for twelve hours, I had to preserve Ibora's strength as much as possible. Therefore, I dared not wait and see and let Ibora's injuries become more and more serious. I immediately launched a "mental attack". Whenever the "thunder calamity" and "ice calamity" fell continuously, pressing Ibora step by step, forcing it to react in time and almost having no way to hide, I would use "mental attack" to attack the calamity cloud to weaken the power of the upcoming "thunder calamity" or "ice calamity", so as to buy Ibora a little breathing space, so that it could stabilize its position and dodge other attacks that followed, and reduce the damage it suffered as much as possible. Of course, if I use my "mental attack" ability to indirectly attack the robbery cloud that is about to be launched, I will suffer huge damage from the reaction force. If it were a normal situation, I would be seriously injured and dizzy even if I didn't die with my current basic mental power that has reached the second level of super silver. This method of rescue would definitely not be very effective. Fortunately, with my new understanding of "Soul Contract" and the auxiliary effect of "Control of Death", this reaction force was evenly distributed to nearly three hundred black bone dragons, and the impact on me has been reduced to a very small level. I only feel a slight vibration in my spirit. As long as I activate the "Touch of Death" to absorb enough mental power to replenish it, I can continuously launch "mental attacks" to interfere with the robbery cloud's attack on Ibola, rescue Ibola at the critical moment, and prevent it from suffering too much damage.
The power of "Ice and Thunder" can be said to be quite powerful, and it is definitely not comparable to the previous "Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation". However, Ibola is no longer the high-level Knight of Destruction. As the Ultimate Knight of Destruction, especially under my full cultivation, the energy of the three attributes required are all stored to the maximum extent. It can be seen that its strength has increased a lot. Even if it is struck by thunder and ice, it is difficult to cause too much damage to it in one blow. In addition, with the summoning of Xiaobai to possess it, its speed has become faster. At the same time, I often use "mental attacks" to rescue it at critical moments. Finally, it persisted to the end and survived the double torture of "Ice and Thunder".
But after all, it was the "ultimate heavenly tribulation", and it was definitely not something that could be easily overcome. Although Xiaobai, who possessed him, and I helped indirectly, Ibola was still seriously injured. Thinking that the chief judge would continue to hunt him for twelve hours, it was not optimistic. Seeing that the tribulation clouds in the sky were dissipating, and the chief judge in charge of the "human tribulation" of the last level had not yet appeared, I gritted my teeth and rushed over immediately, ready to take advantage of this gap and use the "Soul of the Dead" to help Ibola heal his injuries, which would be able to restore some of his condition, which would also be helpful to Ibola.
