Chapter 707 – Domain
Five people, five different appearances, but all had the same characteristics. They gave off the feeling of being dangerous. And behind them were flying Demons and magic beasts.
The undead army didn't attack immediately. When they saw that the Demon Dragon King was coming to them, the army stopped. This gave hope to the Demon Dragon King, he was thinking that Zhao Hai really didn't have any thoughts of attacking them today, otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped.
Zhao Hai's group of three went forward while on top of the Bone Dragon. The Demon Dragon King looked at Berry and saw that she already had a crystal on her head. This made the Demon Dragon King's eyes shrink, then he shifted his gaze to Shue who was standing behind Zhao Hai.
Shue was also a God-ranked expert, but the Demon Dragon King felt a distinct aura of danger on Shue. In addition to being a God-ranked expert, the Demon Dragon King can also see a warrior, a warrior that wasn't afraid of death.
Most importantly, the Demon Dragon King can see how Shue looks at Zhao Hai. It was a look of complete devotion, a look of worship.
Such a gaze wouldn't have been strange on an ordinary person, however, it was truly bizarre if it appears on a God-ranked expert.
What were God-rank experts? It was a world's peak existence. Even if one were a slave before, once he becomes God-rank, then he would achieve the treatment of a God-ranked expert as well as the respect that come along with it. One must know that these God-ranks consider themselves as the top of the food chain, there was nobody that they would lower their head to.
Taking the Demon Dragon King's group for example, although the Demon Dragon King held a higher status, he was still unable to give commands to the other God-rank experts. The only reason why these experts listened to him was because it was an order from the Great Demon King.
In the Demon Realm, nobody can violate the order of His Majesty the Great Demon King, even if you are a God-rank expert. Therefore, these God-ranked experts chose to cooperate with the Demon Dragon King for now.
The Demon Dragon King turned his gaze to Zhao Hai, the dread on his eyes getting thicker. He didn't think that a God-rank expert could actually make another God-rank expert worship him. Without even considering Zhao Hai's strength, just this point alone made Zhao Hai the most dangerous person present here.
The Demon Dragon King slowly stopped in front of Zhao Hai, then his deep voice sounded out, "Is mister really unable to let us go? Do we really need to fight to the death?"
Zhao Hai looked at the Demon Dragon King and smiled faintly, "There's no need for the Demon Dragon King to talk too much. I know the reason why you came to the Ark Continent, and you know the reason as well. Further talks are useless at this point. However, I still need to make a final question to the Demon Dragon King. Are the Demons really unwilling to go back to the Demon Realm?"
The Demon Dragon King looked straight to Zhao Hai's eyes, and without blinking he said, "Never!"
Zhao Hai laughed, "Hahaha, then that's the end. However, there is one thing I need to tell you. In fact, I am bringing my undead over today with the intention of having them eat a good proper meal."
Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as the undead behind him disappeared. When they appeared once more, they were now behind the Demon Dragon King. These undead had already changed their shape into small groups of cone formations. All of them were rotating fast as they rushed towards the Demon army.
The Demon Dragon King's expression changed, he waved his hand as well as he said, "Kill them!!" Then his black dragon carriage went charging towards Zhao Hai. The God-rank experts behind him heading forward as well.
Zhao Hai didn't retreat, his figure moved as the Bone Dragon vanished. Then he, Berry, and Shue's bodies disappeared in mid air. When they reappeared, they were already surrounding the Demon archer. Zhao Hai's Blood Ghost Staff has been transformed into a glaive as it chopped towards the Archer.
Glaives weren't present in the Ark Continent. However, because of the circumstances, Zhao Hai believed that the glaive would be the most suitable weapon for him to use at this time.
The reason why Zhao Hai chose to attack the archer was because among the other people, the Archer was the one who held the biggest threat. With his long-ranged attack, it wouldn't be good if he was still present when Zhao Hai and the others were suppressing the Demon Dragon King.
The Archer wasn't expecting Zhao Hai's group to target him first. However, he wasn't scared, instead, his face actually revealed a look of excitement. Then his figure moved as he disappeared into a region of dark cloud which also wrapped Zhao Hai's group. At the same time, Zhao Hai and the others experienced their bodies' weight increase by a few folds.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but mutter, "Is this the strength of a Domain?"
Zhao Hai was a God-rank expert, therefore, he knew how strong God-ranks can be. After achieving God-rank, an expert can then comprehend his own domain. This Domain would go alongside a person's combat strength as it slowly forms. In this domain, a God-ranked expert would be able to display 120% of their strength while their enemies would be weakened to 80% of their abilities.
However, Domains are very hard to comprehend. One shouldn't think that once you become God-ranked, then you would immediately comprehend a Domain. It takes a long time and enough experience in order to gain one.
A God-ranked expert who didn't have a Domain could only exert about 80% of their true ability. It can be said that God-ranked experts who have a Domain and those who don't were on two different stages.
Zhao Hai's group hadn't managed to comprehend their own Domain yet. Because of this, Zhao Hai used this moment to capitalize on the fact that the God-ranked Demons were yet to fully recover their strength. However, Zhao Hai could still feel the disadvantages of not having a Domain.
The God-ranked Demons seem to be aware of this point, therefore, the Demon Dragon King ominously sounded, "Domain Merge!"
Merging of Domains was a very peculiar technique. God-ranked experts were prominent people in their worlds, therefore, it was rare for them to cooperate with one another. However, once they manage to do so, they would still find it hard to fight without their Domains being a hindrance to the other. Because of this, God-ranked experts had finally thought of a method, and it was to merge the Domains together. When Domains merged, then the owners of those Domains would be able to fight together without causing trouble to their ally.
Naturally, this merging wasn't something that can just be used casually. First, it needed two people who had fairly the same levels of strength. Then, the two people needed to have absolute trust of one another, otherwise, the process would fail.
When the Demon Dragon King saw that Zhao Hai's group were stranded inside the Archer's domain and still didn't use their own, he immediately knew that Zhao Hai's side were still yet to comprehend their domain. This made the Demon Dragon King happy. As long as Zhao Hai didn't have a Domain, then they can just merge their Domains and lock Zhao Hai inside. Therefore, the Demon Dragon King immediately ordered for the merging of Domains.
The other God-ranked experts didn't delay, they immediately merged one another's Domain. Then slowly, each of their Domains fused and became a huge but unstable Domain.
However, when they used their Domain, Zhao Hai's group had already disappeared from their original place. Zhao Hai knew about Domains before, this was because Bloody War spoke about it.
Since the Demon Realm had God-ranked experts, then they certainly knew how to use a Domain. Zhao Hai just baited them to use it in order to see what a Domain really is.
At this moment, Zhao Hai and the others were sitting inside the Space as they observed the Demon Dragon King's group. Although their Domains looked the same, there were some differences in places. The Archer's domain was a dark mist that seemed to affect gravity. However, this Domain excludes the Archer. This allowed the archer to not only slow the enemy but blind them as well while he has free movement inside it.
The Demon Dragon King's Domain was quite interesting, it was a type of Domain that gives a mental attack. One would fall into an illusion where the Demon Dragon King was your ruler, your god, and that you must submit to him.
The Lich's Domain was a sea of bones. Everything inside it was an endless facade of white skeletal parts. Inside of the Domain were several undead that gets stronger and stronger the more one fights. At the same time, the undead weren't bland fighters, they were also able to learn your techniques and use it against you.
The Knight's Domain was very simple. Inside his Domain one would feel weak, frightened, bloodthirsty, violent, and all other negative feelings. At the same time, the knight would feel empowered, strong, and invincible. This was a Domain that would reduce someone's abilities to the minimum while the Knight improves to his peak.
The Assassin's Domain was an unusual one. In the Domain was a shattered house that was covered with a black fog. The fog was very poisonous and can hide the Assassin. While inside the Domain, not only would you worry about the attacks from the Assassin, you would also worry about the poison that the fog would constantly give you.
Chapter 708 – Domain War
The reason why Zhao Hai knew all of these was because he had the Space's help. Although his group had entered the Space, the Blood Ghost staff remained outside. This essentially made the Staff akin to a sensor for the Space to use in order to analyze the characteristics of a Domain.
The merging of the Domain caused a change to how they appeared. In that huge field, large houses appeared along with an imperial palace. The whole place seemed to become a city.
In addition to the structures, undead can also be seen walking through the streets of that city, looking like the citizens of the place.
At the same time, dark poisonous mists were billowing right outside the Domain City. This fog caused an increase of both gravity and negative emotions felt by those affected. On the other hand, the undead seem to benefit in all of these things. It was a very unusual sight.
After hearing the analysis of the Space regarding this merged Domain, Zhao Hai's brows couldn't help but wrinkle. He was now thinking of ways to break this huge Domain.
For Zhao Hai, leaving this Domain is very easy, he can just use the Space and teleport out. However, if he wanted to defeat the Demons, then he would need to destroy these Domains first. Otherwise, Zhao Hai's attacks wouldn't have an influence to the Demon Dragon King's group.
What Zhao Hai didn't know was that the Demon Dragon King was also frowning. One must know that merging Domains as well as maintaining it was a huge drain of energy. After the Demon Dragon King's group merged their Domain, they immediately discovered that Zhao Hai had disappeared, this made them extremely confused.
The Domain that God-ranked experts comprehend was a magical field that was just like Zhao Hai's Space. Zhao Hai can understand the changes in his Space, God-ranked experts can do the same on their Domain. The only difference was that Domains needed energy to be activated, while the Space did not. Domains can be used in battles while the Space cannot. And lastly, Domains are small while Zhao Hai's Space was very large.
Because of this, when Demon Dragon King's group attacked Zhao Hai, they were quick to notice Zhao Hai's disappearance. It was clear that Zhao Hai didn't use his own Domain. This made the five people very puzzled.
At this time, the Space suddenly issued a prompt, "Aggressive Spatial region detected. Extracting its properties and adding it into the Sace. The host can now use a Spatial region. The characteristics of the region would be the same as the Space."
Zhao Hai gawked, but then a huge amount of information suddenly flooded into his head. He carefully analyzed them and discovered that it was a method to apply his Domain. The Domain was very similar to the Space. It had the Space's environment and Zhao Hai was a god inside it, everything inside it was all up to his whims.
However, this Space wasn't actually a real Domain. It was just a method for Zhao Hai to use the Space in a certain region outside. Zhao Hai can change the terrain outside as well as the environment, it was just like the Space.
This Domain was completely different that the one used by the Demon Dragon King's group. Zhao Hai's Domain doesn't need energy to support it. This was because this Domain completely relied on the Space, it didn't need any input from Zhao Hai. Essentially, rather than being called a Domain, it was more appropriate to call it a projection of the Space.
When he saw this Domain, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh. In this Domain, Zhao Hai was invincible and would have his own laws, nothing from outside can influence it. As long as a God-ranked expert gets trapped inside this Domain, then they wouldn't be able to get out.
Naturally, this Domain needed to surround the enemy first, just like the Space. If the Space wanted to attack a person, then that person needed to be inside the Space. Otherwise, the Space wouldn't be able to attack that person directly.
Other God-ranked Domains might be able to do it since their had their own offensive abilities. However, Zhao Hai's Space had no way to outwardly attack. But on the positive side, Zhao Hai's Domain cannot be destroyed. One could see Zhao Hai's Domain as a meat grinder. It had a layer of iron outside, so you cannot destroy the meat grinder while the meat grinder couldn't hurt you. However, once you enter that meat grinder, then you would no doubt be turned into mincemeat.
Although his Domain had no way to attack outward, Zhao Hai was still quite happy about it. God-ranked experts always worried about their Domains since having one made you a true God-ranked expert. Otherwise, you could only be considered to have a false God-rank.
Since Zhao Hai had his own Domain, then naturally he could use it. Zhao Hai's body came out of the Space as he immediately established his Domain.
A scaled-down version of the Space suddenly appeared around Zhao Hai. This miniature Space looked very much like the beginning stages of the real Space. There were a few fields, some grasslands, a wooden house and a small seedling on the field. However, even this smaller Space was just as big as the merged field of the Demon Dragon King's group.
Zhao Hai immediately moved his Domain to repel the merged Domain of the Demons. In retaliation, a huge pressure went towards Zhao Hai's Domain, wanting to crush it. However, was Zhao Hai's Space that easy to deal with? At this moment, on the periphery of Zhao Hai's Domain, a seven colored light suddenly flashed. The seven colored light then started to rotate around Zhao Hai's Domain, making the pressure do nothing to Zhao Hai. When the God-ranked Demons saw this, they immediately exerted extra effort in order to squeeze Zhao Hai's Domain out from their merged Domain.
When Zhao Hai's Domain was pushed out of the merged Domain, the merged Domain suddenly formed into a giant skeletal archer. The arrow on the archer's hand had a black mist surrounding it while its bow had a gloomy gas going in and out. The skeletal archer pulled the string on its bow as an arrow quickly flew towards Zhao Hai.
When the misty arrow hit Zhao Hai's Domain, the Domain immediately turned into a whirlpool, absorbing the arrow in the process. While inside his Domain, Zhao Hai's eyes suddenly shone with a joyful expression. This was because when the Domain received the arrow, the Space had issued a prompt, "Attacking method from space type attack received. Host can now use external attacks for his spatial region. The attack method needs to be comprehended voluntarily by the Host."
Although Zhao Hai had no idea what voluntarily comprehended means, he understood that his Domain had now gained an exterior offensive ability.[1] And as for the method itself, Zhao Hai gained an inspiration from what the Demon Dragon King's group just did.
Zhao Hai waved his hand as his Domain slowly changed its shape and became a gigantic Stone Golem. The Stone Golem seem to be made out of transparent rocks. Then the Golem suddenly picked a stone from its own body and threw it towards the opposite Domain.
When met with the attack, the merged Domain suddenly divided into five smaller Domains. These five Domains changed their form as well. The Archer's Domain turned into an arrow. The Demon Dragon King's Domain became a black dragon. The Lich's Domain turned into a giant skeleton. The Knight's Domain became a lance. And lastly, the Assassin's Domain turned into a clump of dark gas.
Zhao Hai looked carefully at the five Domains. The inside of the Demons' Domain cannot be seen, it was covered by their own forms. On the other hand, Zhao Hai's Domain was transparent, people could clearly see what was happening inside. Even when his Domain had changed its form, it was still transparent. This difference was quite bizarre.
As for the other party, the Demon Dragon King and the Lich's Domains looked very complicated. The Archer, Knight, and Assassin had simpler forms of their Domains. It seems like the Demon Dragon King and the Lich were the more powerful people in the group, making their Domain avatars more complicated. If this was the case, then it meant that a Domain can also develop over time. The stronger the Domain the more complicated its avatar would be. At this point, Zhao Hai was wondering about how these new forms would attack. Will it be just like normal attacks?
It seems like the Demons were keen to confirm Zhao Hai's suspicion, the arrow of the Archer's Domain suddenly attacked Zhao Hai by launching similar arrows towards him in a non-stop barrage.
On the other hand, the Demon Dragon King's black dragon flew in a circle before charging towards Zhao Hai's Domain. In the process of the attack, the black dragon actually spewed a black gas towards Zhao Hai.
The Lich's Domain did quite the same, the skeleton rushed towards Zhao Hai's stone golem. The skeletons arms aiming to puncture through the stone golem's body. The Knight's lance thrusted itself while the Assassin's mist disappeared and appeared right beside Zhao Hai's stone golem, intent on weakening it. Just as the mist got in contact with the stone golem, white smoke suddenly came out, it seems like the gas intends to corrode the stone golem down!
It can now make yo' momma jokesChapter 709 – Myriad Transformation Domain
Before, Zhao Hai thought that his Domain's avatar would only get stuck with his first choice, the Rock Golem. But now, he knew that a Domain can still change. Then Zhao Hai tried to transform his Domain into an archer, which it did. It seems like he can make many transformations to his Domain.
This discovery made Zhao Hai's heart light up. He can now understand what 'voluntarily comprehend' meant. Due to the forms of his Domain being numerous, the Space didn't bother to tell him what they were.
When Zhao Hai saw the attack of the God-ranked Demons, Zhao Hai couldn't help but recognize how strong they were. Their attacks were on a whole different level. Although the Archer, Knight, and Assassin's Domains were weaker than the Demon Dragon King and the Lich, they still couldn't be underestimated. Each one of these Domains were inseparable from the properties of their owners.
Zhao Hai gave a nod before changing his Domain into a revolving sphere, making the Assassin's dark fog unable to melt it. However, the other attacks had already arrived. The first to appear was the Archer's arrows. Although the Arrows looked weak, they were actually extremely fast, aking to a machine gun from Earth. If an average person were to meet this Domain, then there was no doubt that they would be thrown into confusion. However, Zhao Hai didn't care about it too much, he rotated his Domain much faster, throwing the Archer's arrows off to the side, not a single one managed to penetrate the spherical Domain.
On the other hand, the Demon Dragon King's black dragon already spat out its ball of black gas. When this ball hit Zhao Hai's spinning Domain, it actually managed to burn it. It seems like the rotation alone wasn't enough to repel this burning attack.
At this moment, the Lich's skeleton Domain also arrived with the Knight's lance. Zhao Hai quickly transformed his Domain as it flashed with blue light before becoming a rotating ball of water. The Demon Dragon King's black fireball slowly got extinguished by the water ball. After that, Zhao Hai changed the form of his Domain yet again into a huge fly-swatter, swatting the Lich's skeleton Domain away. Then Zhao Hai's Domain became a hand as it caught the Knight's lance Domain intending to flick it towards the direction of the Demon Dragon King's black dragon. However, the lance had already transformed into a clump of gas, getting away from the grip of Zhao Hai's Domain.
At this time, the Demon Dragon King's black dragon Domain arrived by Zhao Hai's Domain, biting it in the fingers.
It was at this attack that Zhao Hai had truly felt pain for the first time, his chest suddenly experienced a severe sting.
Zhao Hai immediately understood that an attack on the Domain can injure the main body. Although his Domain was a tool to help him out, the one commanding it was still him. Therefore, if the Domain gets attacked, then he would still feel it.
This discovery didn't make Zhao Hai flinch, instead, his hand quickly moved as the big hand transformed into an iron shovel. Then the iron shovel whacked the black dragons' head. This made the black dragon retreat while shaking its head. Even the Demon Dragon King looked like he was made dizzy by the attack.
At this moment, the Lich's Domain was already back as it charged over. This time, it has a huge bone sword in its hand which stabbed towards Zhao Hai's iron shovel.
Zhao Hai just ate an attack from the black dragon, so how could he let himself suffer a second time? The iron shovel immediately turned into a spinning sphere. The Demon Dragon King was shocked by the transformations of Zhao Hai's Domain. In the beginning, he thought that Zhao Hai didn't have a Domain. Therefore, he decided to use this opportunity to bully him, even kill him if the chance allowed it.
But who knew that Zhao Hai actually had his own Domain. Moreover, this Domain was very formidable, it can actually push five Domains back on its own.
Most importantly, the forms of Zhao Hai's Domain were numerous. Just like Zhao Hai guessed, Domains couldn't be easily transformed. Take the Archer's Domain for example, the Archer's strength can only turn his Domain into the form of an arrow. If he got stronger later on, then the Domain might transform into something that went along with the Archer's experiences. However, it was still impossible for their Domains to have many transformations like Zhao Hai's. This was completely impossible to do, one should know that a Domain can only have two forms, the field form and the avatar form. Zhao Hai's Domain actually had alot of transformations. Looking at Zhao Hai's Domain, it wasn't strange for the Demon Dragon King to be extremely shaken.
Zhao Hai didn't have the mood to think about these, although he looked very relaxed while dealing with these people, he was actually quite stressed. The Archer's arrows came too quick, although they had been deflected, they were still able to deal some damage. At the same time, the Assassin's attack was also starting to take its toll. The Knight and the Lich's attacks were strong as well. Zhao Hai's chest felt quite stuffed right now, and it was obvious that he had been slightly injured.
But at the same time, the Demon Dragon King's group weren't having it better. Although Zhao Hai's attack wasn't that strong, they still managed to suffer minor wounds, especially the Lich. He flew quite far due to Zhao Hai's fly-swatter. His injury was on the heavier side.
While Zhao Hai's battle had gone very lively, the undead and the Demons weren't idling, with the Demons the ones being pushed back. Although the Demons were quite strong, they weren't all 9th ranks. Additionally, under Lizzy and Megan's command, the undead formation constantly changed from a concrete solid block into smaller flexible formations, the damage that they had done was quite significant.
The Demons were currently confused regarding these undead. Zhao Hai was currently fighting with the Demon Dragon King's group, so he should be preoccupied with fighting with them and should be unable to take command of the undead. However, why were the undead still able to move like this? It was too strange.
Casualties slowly came from the side of the Demons. However, Lizzy and Megan were still dissatisfied. Although these Demons were being suppressed right now, the number of Demon deaths were still lower than what they expected. And once these Demons knew that they were going to die, they would immediately self-explode, taking a clump of undead along with them.
However, the undead couldn't be disregarded as well. Some low-level Demons didn't even have the chance to self destruct before they were killed immediately. After these Demons were killed, they were quickly absorbed into the Space, transforming them into a member of the undead army.
The explosions that destroyed the undead were generally those from 8th ranks. Low-ranking explosions had zero effect on the undead.
However, even if the undead casualties weren't big, Lizzy and Megan were still dissatisfied. It was because this was their first fight where they managed to lose some of their troops.
Women were usually mean-spirited, once they get angry, then the consequences would be critical. The attacks of the undead suddenly turned more violent. All of them started to suppress the Demons even more.
When the Demon Dragon King saw this situation, he immediately turned to the Lich and said, "White Ghost, go deal with the undead. Leave this place to us."
The Lich's skeleton Domain immediately moved away from the group and headed towards the undead army. When the skeleton turned around, a bone lance appeared in its hand. Then the bone lance was thrown straight towards a undead formation. When the lance clashed with the undead, they didn't even have the chance to react as all of the undead immediately shattered into pieces.
Although Zhao Hai and the Demons seemed to be playing around in the clashes, but one must know that attacks of a God-ranked expert's Domain were very strong. And judging by the size of the giant skeleton, one could imagine how large its bone lance was. The lance being able to puncture a dozen undead wouldn’t be an overstatement. At the same time, although the lance looked like it was made out of bone, it was actually made out of pure energy, its offensive ability was very formidable.
When Zhao Hai saw the Lich's attack, he immediately had Berry and Shue appear right beside the Domain. Although they had yet to comprehend a Domain, they were still God-ranked, they can certainly suppress the Lich.
When Berry appeared, she immediately shouted as the hair on her head wrapped around the arm of the skeleton Domain. At the same time, Shue took out a big axe. One shouldn't underestimate this axe. Zhao Hai had this axe made from the Processing Machine. Although it cannot be a Divine Artifact, the axe was still quite a formidable weapon.
With his axe pulled out, Shue shouted as he swung his axe even while being ten meters away from the Domain. However, distance didn't matter because as Shue swung his axe, a projection suddenly appeared that cut down towards the skeleton Domain. The Lich issued a scream, it seemed to have been hurt. Then the Lich's skeleton Domain stretched its other arm out as a lance appeared once more, aiming to stab towards Shue.
Chapter 710 – Captured
Although Shue's movement was simple, his actions were very quick. In a flash, another Shue appeared right by his side as their figure moved and went towards different directions to flee.
The Lich didn't expect Shue to have this move. While he was stunned, one Shue disappeared as another one appeared bearing an axe as it chopped once more towards the Lich's Domain.
Although Shue's two attacks weren't able to break the Lich's Domain, it still managed to damage the Lich. At the same time, Berry's hair attack wasn't that simple. Her soul attacks used her hair as a conduit, her attacks had already made a name for itself in the Demon Realm. Although Berry was yet to comprehend a Domain, her soul attacks couldn't be underestimated, it was God-ranked after all.
A God-rank that had comprehended a Domain was much stronger than one who hadn't, however, this statement had its limits. As for the Lich, he could easily deal with Berry and Shue if he was in his peak form. But now, in addition to him not being in his peak, he was also injured by Zhao Hai. At this point, it would be impossible for him to easily deal with Berry and Shue.
Moreover, Shue and Berry were different from Zhao Hai. In the past, Zhao Hai exclusively fought using his own undead, making his close combat abilities quite poor. On the other hand, before becoming a God-rank expert, Shue was a mercenary assassin. Nobody knew how much fighting Shue had in his life but one could be assured that his fighting experience was rich. While being a mercenary, he was even known to kill people who were a rank higher than him. Now, although he hasn't comprehended a Domain yet, him and the Lich were of the same level. With his experience, Shue should be able to clash with the Lich quite comfortably.
There was nothing else to say about Berry, she was born in the Demon Realm. No matter which race, all of the Demons in the Demon realm grew up fighting. This made Berry's fighting experiences quite ample. Her only downside was her lack of a Domain since she just managed to become God-ranked.
From the very beginning, the Lich had truly underestimated the attack from Berry and Shue. In his opinion, these two who didn't have a Domain wouldn't be able to launch strong attacks. However, the Lich managed to make a mistake. He forgot that they had also underestimated Zhao Hai, assuming that he wasn't able to establish his Domain, injuring the Lich in the process.
Berry's hair continued to entangle the Lich's skeleton Domain, attacking him with a constant barrage of soul attacks. Although these attacks weren't able to injure the Lich, it was still enough to cause a headache.
The Lich were generally immune to physical attacks, especially after they reach God-rank. However, the Lich's most feared attack were the ones who target their soul. These kinds of attacks do heavy damage to the Lich Race. Although the Lich had his Domain to protect him, the other party's attacks still managed to influence his mind. The skeleton Domain was now more unstable compared to when it battled with Zhao Hai.
When the Demon Dragon King saw this situation, he immediately gave a command, "Shiying, go help White Ghost. Deal with those two as soon as possible." The Assassin gave a nod before he threw himself towards the Lich.
Zhao Hai looked at the departing Shiying as his complexion turned ugly. He looked towards the Demon Dragon King as he muttered, "You had truly forced me." Then he waved his hand as a spatial rift appeared in front of the Assassin. A vine suddenly came out of that rift and entangled the Assassin's Domain. Then the vine retreated, pulling the Assassin's Domain towards the Space.
The Assassin became surprised. It was impossible for him to know about the Space, so naturally he wouldn't dare to go in. He tried to break free from the vine but found out that he couldn't. This made him even more surprised, his Domain couldn't actually free itself from this vine. The Assassin gnashed his teeth as he forcefully retrieved his Domain. When he saw that the vines didn't do anything, he quickly drew back
However, just as the Assassin was retreating, a enormous whale suddenly appeared in front of him, swallowing him up. The Assassin noticed that the whale was actually transparent, and its interior had grasses, flowers, plants, and even a hut. More importantly, Zhao Hai was present as well!
The Assassin was startled, then he discovered that he had been absorbed into Zhao Hai's Domain. The Assassin immediately established his Domain, but discovered that he couldn't. He couldn't even command his body properly. It seems like he had become helpless inside this Space.
While Zhao Hai captured the Assassin, he was also enduring full-on attacks from the Demon Dragon King, the Knight, and the Archer. Zhao Hai coughed up some blood, this time he was truly injured.
Zhao Hai became anxious when he saw the Demon Dragon King command the Assassin to help the Lich. He knew that Berry and Shue already had their hands full in suppressing the Lich, the addition of the Assassin wouldn't be great for their situation. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't have any other choice but to have Cai'er make a move.
Cai'er was a card that Zhao Hai kept in secret, he didn't want to use her quite easily. Cai'er's strength surpassed ordinary God-ranks. This was the reason why the Assassin wasn't able to move when being entangled by her vine.
Zhao Hai had also thought that the Assassin would let go of his Domain and escape. Therefore, he waited for the Assassin to do so. As soon as the Assassin managed to escape, Zhao Hai didn't pay any attention to the oncoming attacks and just took the Assassin into his Domain.
Outward attacks of Zhao Hai's Domain weren't very formidable, however, its internal attacks were incomparably strong. As long as a God-ranked enters his Domain, then Zhao Hai can do whatever he wants to him. There were different laws inside Zhao Hai's Domain, and the strength of these laws were very strong, God-ranked experts are simply helpless against it.
The reason Zhao Hai deemed it necessary to capture the Assassin was because he wanted to hide Cai'er's strength. Since he wanted to keep her as a secret, then it was natural that he wouldn't have to Assassin escape and tell the Demon Dragon King about how strong Cai'er was.
Fortunately, when Cai'er took action, she didn't show her characteristics of being a Seven colored flower. The vine that came out looked just like any ordinary vine. It would be troublesome if the Demon Dragon King were to recognize her.
Since Zhao Hai neglected the attacks, then it was no wonder that he was injured. After all, his Domain wasn't the true Space where even if he can't control it, Cai'er was still there to take charge. Zhao Hai didn't dare to drag things further as him and his Domain suddenly vanished. Berry and Shue, who were suppressing the Lich, disappeared as well. The undead who were fighting the Demons were also withdrawn.
Besides the Demon Dragon King's group and the Demons, there weren't anybody else in the battlefield. The magic that the Demon Dragon King was currently preparing was left with no target to cast on.
The Demon Dragon King's heart immediately constricted as he gave a shout, "Be careful!". Then he turned his head towards the direction of Demon City. He knew that Zhao Hai was injured, and if Zhao Hai were to return to the city, then a commotion would surely rise up.
When he turned his head, he saw Zhao Hai appearing in a place about a kilometer away from them. He currently stood on top of his Bone Dragon with his undead army behind him. Berry and Shue were also with him on the Bone Dragon.
Zhao Hai's complexion was calm, one wouldn't be able to find out that he was injured. The Demon Dragon King became even more alert. He withdrew his Domain as his stared at Zhao Hai. The Lich and the others have also arrived by the Demon Dragon King's side.
Zhao Hai looked at the four God-ranked Demons and smiled faintly. Then he gave a small bow to the Demon Dragon King and said, "I managed to get good lessons from the Demon Dragon King. To be honest, I've lost quite a bit this time. If there's an opportunity, then I will definitely ask for more advice from the Demon Dragon King's group. However, today, I must say my farewells." Then Zhao Hai made his Bone Dragon turn and head towards Demon City. The undead army following behind him.
The nearby Archer looked at the Demon Dragon King and said, "Why haven't we made pursuit? Are you afraid?"
The Demon Dragon King turned to look at the Archer and said, "Herd, do you have the confidence to stop him? Do you think our group of four is enough to hold him down? Don't forget, although those two people on his side weren't able to establish a Domain, their fighting strengths were still very good, even enough to tie one of us down. And did you see those vines that managed to capture Shiying? If those vines weren't anything special, then Shiying wouldn't have given up on his own Domain. That thing can hold another one of us back. Do you think that two people is enough to suppress Zhao Hai?"
Herd didn't speak, he knew that the Demon Dragon King was telling the truth. Zhao Hai had already shown his exceptional strength. He managed to block four people and suppress three, it was almost impossible for their side to kill Zhao Hai. And Zhao Hai just captured Shiying, the Demon side had truly suffered a blow. Although Zhao Hai has been injured, do they still have the confidence to tie him down? It was completely impossible to do so.
At this moment, the Knight's voice was heard, "What do we do now?" The Demon Dragon King replied, "Iron Claw, you go return to the Demon Realm and report all that happened to the Great Demon King. Ask for a few more people to be sent here. Shiying's strength isn't that much different from all of us, yet he was still captured. Things just became dangerous for our side. We need more people to keep the security of the city so that we can establish a foothold on the Ark Continent."
