No one, with the exception of the giant deviant, paid any heed to the rain at the very start, but as the rain started to build up, its effects began to show.
The footsteps of the charging soldiers grew heavier under the massive downpour, as pain seeped into their impassioned war cries. The physically weaker deviant priests collapsed as groups. Those who were still holding on tried all sorts of ways to protect themselves from the rain in a panic.
But nothing could obstruct the raining death, just like a natural calamity. The deviants who had their life force robbed from them cried pitifully.
Upon realizing the situation, the sword-bearing deviant roared in anger.
The Origin Level 1 Race Sovereign released a tremendous surge of life force in an attempt to neutralize the effects of the raining death. At the same time, it drew the greatsword it carried on its back and charged toward where Roel was.
In the face of this pressing threat, Roel pressed his palms together and released a blast of frost aura and pale yellow wind in a single breath, hoping to stop the sword-bearing deviant’s attack. However, the Race Sovereign overcame his attack in an unbelievable manner.
Killing intent reminiscent of blood flowed from the sword-bearing deviant, transforming into a tangible surge of energy that influenced the world around it. Its eyes glowed brilliantly crimson before its speed suddenly surged. Like a blood-red arrow, it dashed right through the falling rain, moving at a speed so fast that neither the frost nor the wind could halt its advancement.
It took a mere instant for the two-meter-tall Race Sovereign to appear before him. It swung its greatsword down with a berserker’s roar.
“Gror!”
Overwhelming might that could split the sky and earth mixed with rampaging mana generated a force so strong that, for a moment, Roel saw his surroundings turn completely dark, with only a single blood-red line in sight. Even the Magician King’s attack was nothing compared to this.
This showed just how powerful the deviants’ Race Sovereigns were.
Even so, Roel didn’t back down at all. Quietly seething in his right hand were the flames he had been continuously gathering and compressing all this while, and he released them in a single burst. A cross-shaped flame flared, and the roaring lava manifested as an unstoppable blazing fist that erupted toward the falling blood-red slash.
Boom!
The massive explosion arising from the clash covered Roel’s field of vision.
The sheer shockwave rebounded the raining death back to the sky, blasting a circular hole into the dense congregation of dark clouds in the sky.
Roel felt intense pain shooting up his right arm all the way to his shoulder. It was a deep cut that reached into the bone, spanning the length of his arm. Splattered blood dyed his cheek crimson.
On the other hand, the sword-bearing deviant was sent flying by the terrifying fist that carried the momentum of an erupting volcano, landing far in the distance. With half of its body torched, the Race Sovereign furiously roared in pain amidst the death rain.

As if to take its place, the three-armed giant deviant charged at Roel next.
In the midst of its earth-trembling charge, the giant deviant’s body grew even larger as its scales further thickened. Its three massive arms twitched as they dimly glowed with mana. Now that it no longer had to protect the Deviant Sovereign, it was finally able to exert its full strength.
A suffocating pressure crushed down on the battlefield.
After a brief run to build up its momentum, the giant deviant leaped into the air, its humongous body resembling a whale rising from the sea. Its three massive fists smashed downward at the same time, their overwhelming strength and speed producing a sonic boom that blasted away everything in the vicinity.
The three massive fists were flung from different trajectories, but they shared the same final destination—Roel.
It took only an instant for this powerful attack to reach its target. With hardly any time to react, Roel could only confront it face-on and trade injury for injury.
A flood of frost aura and lava surged out of Roel’s hands with explosive might. With no regard for the deep laceration he had sustained on his right arm, he firmly held the two fists that had landed first at bay. Unfortunately, he was unable to do the same for the third arm, so he could only manifest his pale yellow wind barrier.
A scheming smile crept onto the giant deviant’s face, and Roel soon learned the reason behind that.
As it turned out, the giant deviant had predicted Roel’s reaction and chosen to concentrate far more mana on its third arm, imbuing it with a force that surpassed the combined force of the first two fists. The first two fists were only feints, whereas the third fist was the true attack!
