A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

178: Fierce battle against monarch-level vengeful demons—”Aowoo!”

The three Grievance Demons were incredibly terrifying. Together, they raised their heads to the sky and let out a soul-shaking howl that struck the souls of everyone present.

Upon seeing the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape, their eyes flickered with extreme greed, as if they had set their sights on a rare treasure.

Although the howls of the three Grievance Demons caused no physical damage, the sound waves were enough to penetrate the soul, spreading across a radius of ten thousand meters.

Suddenly, with a ”ding-dong,” a system notification rang in Bai Tian’s ear: ”(Triggered 【Heavens Protection】, successfully resisted the Divine Control Soul Impact.)”

Bai Tian discovered with horror that besides himself and his two immortal pets, everyone within ten thousand meters—including mounts, pets, and even the Little Dragon Zombie—was stunned by the howl of the three Grievance Demons, standing frozen and unable to move.

It turned out that the howl actually carried a Divine Control effect. Had it not been for Bai Tian’s God-level Heavens Protection, he likely wouldn’t have escaped this fate.

After controlling the entire field, the three Grievance Demons instantly transformed into three bloody storms and pounced toward the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape.

”How infuriating! To dare treat me as prey.”

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion stood up in anger, thunderous patterns flickering across its body. In a flash of lightning, it seemed to undergo a divine transformation.

Although the Vajra Demon Ape was still small, the earth shook as it stepped on the ground, and demonic flames surged from its body. It turned to Bai Tian and said, ”Leave the Monarch-level Yuan Yao to us. You go deal with the two smaller ones.”

Before the words could fade, the heavens and earth roared. With a loud ”boom,” a bolt of divine lightning descended from the highest heavens, turning into a Brilliant light that dispelled all darkness in the world and instantly scattered the bloody storms formed by the three Grievance Demons.

The two Monarch-level Vengeful Demons were sent flying back by the divine lightning, and damage numbers appeared.

[Thunder Damage: -310,000, -620,000, -620,000!]

However, the Monarch-level Yuan Yao only paused for a moment before forcibly withstanding the wave of lightning attacks.

The Nine Extremes Thunder Lion’s ultimate move, 【Dawn of the Night’s End】, didn’t seem to pose much of a threat to it; instead, it only served to further enrage the demon.

It let out a demonic laugh: ”Jie jie jie... Heaven is on my side! If I can devour you two immortal pets, my advancement to the Emperor Realm is just around the corner!”

With that, the Monarch-level Yuan Yao opened its massive mouth and spat out a mountain-splitting bloody storm toward the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion.

The Vajra Demon Ape swept in like a mad dragon and roared, ”I’ll handle defense, you handle the offense!”

Then, it leaped up and roared at the sky, demonic flames burning fiercely as it transformed into a mountain-like Dharma Idol Demon Ape.

This was its skill—【Indestructible Vajra】.

The bloody storm unleashed by the Monarch-level Yuan Yao was perfectly blocked by the Vajra Demon Ape’s Dharma Idol form.

Seeing how reliable his two immortal pets were, Bai Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two Monarch-level Vengeful Demons previously repelled by the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion had recovered. They transformed into bloody tornadoes again, intending to join forces with the Monarch-level Yuan Yao against the two immortal pets.

As their master, Bai Tian naturally wouldn’t stand idly by.

He tossed Brocade, Liao Fan, and Snow—who were still in a dazed state—backward to ensure they were far from the battlefield.

Furthermore, Bai Tian was unable to remove the Divine Control from them.

Afterward, he flew into the air and launched his skill—【Deprivation Devour】—at one of the Monarch-level Vengeful Demons.

Although he knew the probability of success was low, as these were two Level 69 monarch-level BOSSes, he decided to try anyway.

However, as Bai Tian expected, the usually successful Deprivation Devour couldn’t drain the two Monarch-level Vengeful Demons at all.

Immediately following that, two loud ”booms” rang out as two bloody storms slammed fiercely into Bai Tian, causing staggering damage.

[Damage: -1.99 million, Critical Damage: -4 million!]

The attacks of the two Monarch-level Vengeful Demon BOSSes were terrifyingly high, dealing a combined total of nearly 6 million damage to Bai Tian.

Despite being under the state of a 20-fold Body Strengthening Technique, Bai Tian’s total vitality was still less than 5 million. Yet, he was surprised to find that his Longevity passive hadn’t been triggered.

Instead, he felt a warmth spread through his body as his vitality rapidly recovered.

It turned out he had triggered the 【God-Tier Sky Bearing】 skill, which resisted the lethal damage and allowed him to recover 30% of his vitality every second for the next 10 seconds.

On the other side, the Nine Extremes Thunder Lion and the Vajra Demon Ape, who were in a bitter struggle against the Monarch-level Yuan Yao, had seen their master get sent flying without even being able to withstand a single move. They were just about to curse him as a waste when they swallowed their words.

The two Monarch-level Vengeful Demons that had attacked Bai Tian cried out in pain one after another, as a massive amount of blood mist exploded from their bodies.

Although these two Grievance Demons were a full major realm higher than Bai Tian, they weren’t like the Monarch-level Yuan Yao, which could immune 50% of Bai Tian’s damage.

Under the 160-fold Rebound, the two Monarch-level Vengeful Demons suffered terrifying injuries of 318.4 million and 640 million respectively.

The Monarch-level Vengeful Demon that had 640 million HP rebounded off it had its health instantly zeroed out, and one of the three eyes in its chest immediately burst.

Although the other Grievance Demon didn’t have the eye on its chest burst, its health had also dropped near the danger line.

After glaring at Bai Tian malevolently, the critically injured Grievance Demon immediately transformed into a bloody storm and swooped down toward the ground to drain and kill ordinary players.

With every player it drained and killed, its health would rapidly recover.

Bai Tian naturally couldn’t let it continue recovering. He immediately gave chase, intending to take its life while it was down.

However, the other Grievance Demon, whose eye had burst, had already fully recovered its health. It unleashed a powerful blast of bloody energy toward Bai Tian.

Bai Tian already understood that to completely kill them, he had to first destroy all the eyes on their chests.

It seemed each eye allowed them to withstand a fatal blow and return to full health.

Bai Tian didn’t want to prematurely reveal his ultimate trump card, the 【Longevity】 passive, so he decisively applied a 20-fold amplified 【Five Elements Shield】 to himself, which was enough to absorb over a million damage.

At this moment, the Grievance Demon below that was draining players to recover its health suddenly let out a piercing scream.

It turned out that Flowers in Full Bloom and the others had finally recovered. They joined forces with Emil, Winter, Divine Radiance, and the rest to unleash a beautiful combo of continuous control and burst damage, completely emptying the health of that weakened Grievance Demon.

”Watch out! Until all the eyes on their chests are destroyed, they will recover every time they are killed.”

Bai Tian immediately warned Flowers in Full Bloom and the others to prevent them from suffering a loss.

At the same time, Bai Tian was struck by the Grievance Demon’s bloody energy, which hit his Five Elements Shield.

With a ”crack,” the Five Elements Shield shattered in less than a second.

The surging bloody energy penetrated Bai Tian’s body, causing a shocking [Damage: -2.15 million!].

This was already the result after the Five Elements Shield had absorbed 1.5 million damage; otherwise, the damage from this Grievance Demon’s skill would have been even more severe.

[160-fold Rebound: -3.44E!]

Although the Grievance Demon let out a shrill scream, it still had a sliver of health left and didn’t fall. Its total vitality was likely around 350 million.

This Grievance Demon was furious beyond measure. Its body immediately split into over a dozen bloody tentacles, which acted like countless tails, stabbing toward Bai Tian like a violent storm.

This Monarch-level Vengeful Demon wasn’t unaware that Bai Tian was as difficult to deal with as a hedgehog, but it still decided to kill this hateful human at the cost of trading injuries before the eyes in its chest were all destroyed.
