The palm, clearly pressed down, but why does it feel like it's not reaching the target at all.

Clang!

In the next moment, not only was the target missing, a powerful strength instantly caught his palm steadily.

"Who is it, who caught my palm..."

The Spiritual Body of the Mysterious Rock Lord shuddered, and the force of reaction directly sent him flying. Turning his head, the golden eyes under his helmet suddenly contracted.

"This... You, where are you a deity from—"

Boom!!!

Without giving the Mysterious Rock Lord a chance to inquire, a blue brilliance arrived in an instant, fiercely striking his chest.

"Puh ah!"

Like being hit head-on by a Red Giant Star, Anweng Breton's chest was instantly pierced, but the irresistible force didn't send him flying backwards; instead, it attracted him towards the opponent's clawed hand.

Slap.

"Damn... This is illogical, it completely defies the laws of reality..."

The Mysterious Rock Lord struggled mightily, breaking free from the opponent's grasp, rolling awkwardly to avoid the latter's stomp, slapped the ground with one hand, hurriedly stood up, and finally saw the true outline of the opponent.

"What is this... Ceramic skin, no face, and that silver and blue armor..."

Suddenly, the Mysterious Rock Lord recalled something, his face under the helmet changed instantly:

"Wait, you wouldn't truly be—"

"Sequence 1: Chaos."

Shing!

A pitch-black blaze burst forth on the Mysterious Rock Lord, not giving the opponent a chance to emit a bitter scream, the latter silently moved to the demigod's Spiritual Body's back, raised a hand, and placed it on the back of the opponent's head.

"Sequence 2: Void."

In the next moment, the Mysterious Rock Lord's skull disappeared instantly.

Absolute vacuum brought about absolute annihilation, terrifying energy burst forth, forming a dreadful tide, completely shattering the entire soul cage.

Crash—

The sound of glass breaking echoed, as if illuminating the pathway wrapped by the morning light, Rednaya's perspective suddenly became transparent and clear.

Her view was thoroughly covered by white light.

"Tsk..." Rednaya squinted her eyes: "What kind of trick is this again."

The dazzling white light lasted for a full four or five minutes before gradually dimming down. When she refocused and looked forward, only the petite figure of Leoz remained.

The latter glanced at her, slowly raising the phalanx in his hand.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Body of the Mysterious Rock Lord had completely dissipated and vanished.

"Tch."

Rednaya discontentedly opened a folding fan to cover her face, clicking her tongue.

[Well, now I haven't seen anything. I don't know what methods Leoz is hiding from me—Is he suggesting the Rock Ghost Phalanx is a crucial tool? With that thing, can he stand on equal footing with me? No, Leoz shouldn't be such a simple-minded guy—Damn it! Leoz, what exactly are you hiding from me?]

On the other side, Leoz slowly put away the Rock Ghost's Phalanx, the dim blue in his eyes completely faded.

[DLC "Usurper Tyrant" — Exiting]

[Loading Cooldown: 30 Natural Days]

Sigh...

Leoz secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[I wonder if I deceived Redd. I've shown the Rock Ghost Phalanx to her openly or subtly more than once, she'd probably think the phalanx is my reliance, right?]

He had predicted Rednaya's tracking a long time ago.

However, despite the array of the burial chamber, she still managed to invade instantly—this ability is too unfair, isn't it?

[Fortunately, the subsequent plan wasn't interrupted, "Usurper Tyrant" is my own soul ability. Without the support of the Starry Abyss Path, a demigod in soul posture fighting against me in the soul cage is simply courting death.]

In fact, the "players" of the 'previous life' were also crafty like this, specifically buying a soul trap scroll.

Or, there's an even more drastic method.

Find a Devil Lord in advance to contract, sell your soul to them, and when the Mysterious Rock Lord tries to seize souls, they will anger the Devil Lord, and the two will fight fiercely because of this. If the target is chosen well, it might lead to both suffering losses, and this is when one can be a fisherman, taking down both the devil and the demigod.

Unfortunately, Leoz really isn't familiar with the Devil Lords of Border Abyss, the devils here are, like the Dragon Race, unable to mix well in this tumultuous territory.

He does know a few good partners, though they are met after level 300 when stepping into the Void.

Although seeking devils is a good approach, Leoz doesn't have that much time, plus considering the mark Rednaya placed on him.

If he really did that, Rednaya would surely silently deal with any devil trying to approach him first.

In comparison, directly using "Usurper Tyrant", swapping a month's cooldown for a no-injury instant kill, eliminates future troubles, and it's clearly more cost-effective, faster, and can deceive Rednaya.

[Judging by her appearance, she probably doesn't understand what method I used to solve it.]

Leoz slightly raised the corner of his mouth and walked to the side of the coffin.

[In this way, at least Rednaya knows that I am not a toy subjected to her manipulation. When communicating with her now, she has to respect my opinions more.]

He was long dissatisfied with Rednaya's controlling attitude, not to mention Rednaya had a unilateral perspective on him; Leoz had no clue what she did, or what plans she was concocting behind his back.

It's necessary to show one's fangs and hint at hidden cards, Rednaya should be somewhat apprehensive henceforth, not daring to toy with him at will.

That's one aspect.

[The most important thing is, now that I have the ability to kill demigod's Spiritual Bodies, I think Rednaya, in her current status, knows that even if I cannot kill her, I can seriously wound her.]

As a result, Rednaya's surveillance on him would inevitably decrease.

Deterring Rednaya — Achieved.

Increasing freedom of action — Achieved.

Solving my talent issues...

Leoz pushed the cover open, shook his palm, and looked at the demigod's remains inside with a gratified smile:

"Now, I've achieved all my goals."

Seemingly not yet completely dissipated, the demigod's remains suddenly began to tremble violently, but having already turned into a mummy, it was no match for a living opponent.

Slap!

Leoz pressed his knee into the demigod's remains' chest, raised the Rock Ghost Phalanx, and stabbed it straight into the opponent's brain.

In the next moment, a tragic screech exploded by his ear, Leoz endured the pain, continued to press down the phalanx, firmly penetrating the opponent's skull, thoroughly destroying the inner structure.

The originally dry and incorruptible corpse rapidly carbonized into ashes, curling in the wind, and the powerful Spiritual Power storm subsided along with it.
