"Awaken, Lord Zemora!"
Under the gaze of Ye Feng and Wu Ye Lin, the burly kobold formed a strange hand seal. Red runes surged, and he slammed them into the center of the Spirit Suppressing Array.
"Buzz! Bang!~"
Instantly, the entire stone platform where the Spirit Suppressing Array was located was covered in red runes. The white prism-shaped stones at the four cardinal directions of the platform were dyed blood-red by the runes, and finally, they shattered with a "crackling~ crackling~" sound...
"Ye Feng, that white stone might be a Divine Mark Stone!"
"Crack~ Boom!~"
Before Wu Ye Lin could finish speaking, the four white prism-shaped stones immediately shattered.
"Bang!~ Rumble!~"
Following that, the stone platform of the Spirit Suppressing Array flashed with black light, bulged violently upwards, and finally exploded.
"Rumble~ Bang~ Rumble!~"
The entire space began to shake violently. The mountain above cracked open, stones fell continuously, and dust billowed...
After a while, the mountain gradually calmed down, and the dust dispersed. Ye Feng and the other three saw a monster appearing on the stone platform of the Spirit Suppressing Array. It was three meters tall, massive, with four legs and six eyes – a Cerberus.
At this moment, wisps of black mist coiled around the Cerberus's body. Its form was somewhat shriveled, and its expression was weary.
"Congratulations on your awakening, Lord Zemora!"
The burly kobold standing not far in front of the Cerberus bowed, looking at it with fanatical devotion.
The Cerberus turned its eyes, glanced at the kobold, seemingly uninterested.
"Kid, pay with your life!"
"You little brat, I'll kill you!"
At this moment, enraged voices of Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin echoed. kanδん
"Bang~ Rumble!~"
"Whoosh!~ Boom!"
Immediately after, a cave entrance beside the kobold, which had been blocked by a fallen giant rock, was blasted open by a ball of fire.
"Kid, don't think of escaping, get out here!"
"I'll tear you to shreds!"
With four horns glowing with blood-red light, Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin quickly scanned their surroundings, clearly searching for Ye Feng and the other three.
"God... Lord God Servant?"
Huang Yiyuan was the first to react. Seeing the burly kobold and the giant Cerberus behind him, he couldn't help but be stunned.
The burly kobold smiled slightly and turned to the Cerberus, saying, "Lord Zemora, you must be hungry after so many years. I've brought you two snacks!"
As he spoke, the kobold turned back and looked at Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin with a strange, cruel gaze.
"Snacks... snacks?"
Huang Yiyuan was slightly stunned, and the next second, his expression changed drastically.
"Ah!~"
"Ah!~"
Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin, who had just regained their senses and taken a step to the side, let out piercing screams. They were bitten by two heads of the Cerberus, half of their bodies caught.
"Ah!~ Ah! Lord God Servant, what are you doing?"
"I... I am loyal to you... Help!~ Ah!~"
"Ah!~"
Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin struggled and screamed as they were chewed to pieces by the two side mouths of the Cerberus and swallowed. Its central head, however, kept looking in the direction of Ye Feng and the other three.
"Buzz!~"
After devouring Huang Yiyuan and Huang Qiaoyin, a faint red light pulsed from the Cerberus's body, and its shriveled form recovered significantly.
Then, the Cerberus's side mouths licked their lips and, like its central head, looked in the direction of Ye Feng.
"Qiao Ying, isn't that guy a Cerberus? Why is he called Zemora?"
Ye Feng tilted his head to look at Qiao Ying, frowning slightly.
"Ye Feng... that guy should be one of the 'Six Barking Hounds of the Underworld,' one of the six strongest Cerberus!"
"Not all Cerberus have names. Only those recognized by Hades, the King of the Underworld, are worthy of a name!"
"And only six Cerberus have been granted names by Hades. This Zemora should be one of them!"
Qiao Ying narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"I can't believe I can meet angels right after awakening... This will be a good meal!"
At this moment, the Cerberus named Zemora spoke.
As the words fell, Zemora vanished from its spot, appearing in front of Ye Feng and the other three in the blink of an eye. Its three great mouths opened wide, and three balls of immense flame rushed towards Ye Feng and the other three.
"Whoosh~ Rumble!~"
"Bang~ Boom!~"
The passage where Ye Feng and the other three were located instantly collapsed, and a large number of stones fell. However, they were incinerated into powder by Zemora's flames mid-air.
"Ugh!~"
Suddenly, a muffled groan of suppressed pain came from Ye Feng.
"Swoosh~ Whoosh!~"
Ye Feng's Tang sword flashed, and he leaped out of Zemora's flames. He looked quite solemn, as Zemora's flames had left several scorched wounds on his body.
"Ye Feng, don't be careless. Unlike ordinary Cerberus, the 'Six Barking Hounds' wield the power of hellfire, which can burn through true energy and arcane energy!"
After Qiao Ying and Xiao Xiao leaped to Ye Feng's side, Qiao Ying said to Ye Feng with a grave expression.
"Is this the power of hellfire?"
Ye Feng looked at the scorched parts on his arm and frowned. Although the wounds were scorched and burned, a malevolent power was seeping into his body.
"Whoosh! Boom!~"
At this moment, Zemora once again spewed three balls of hellfire at Ye Feng and the others.
"Swoosh swoosh!~"
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, and Wu Ye Lin immediately scattered.
"Xiao Xiao, Qiao Ying, take care of Lin. I'll deal with this guy!"
Seeing that both Xiao Xiao and Qiao Ying had drawn their Angel Blades, Ye Feng immediately shouted to the two women. He wanted to find an opportunity to break through to Diamond during the battle, as he had been unable to do so for a long time.
"This... Alright!"
Qiao Ying frowned slightly, guessing Ye Feng's intention, and agreed, but her expression showed no relaxation.
Xiao Xiao and Wu Ye Lin, however, focused on the burly kobold not far away!
"Such arrogance!"
Zemora sneered, "But that's good. A little appetizer first. After being sealed for so long, dealing with two angels at once... it's quite troublesome!"
"Buzz!"
As Zemora muttered, the surrounding space distorted, and its figure instantly vanished.
"Disappeared into space?"
Seeing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly but wasn't overly surprised. He had witnessed this ability from the Blood Ancestor at the Brad Base before.
Ye Feng's eyes sharpened, and he gripped his Tang sword. True energy surged, and as Zemora appeared behind him, he suddenly slashed backward.
"Swoosh!~ Sizzle!~"
"Ugh~ Ah!"
After a crisp cutting sound, Zemora let out a scream of suppressed pain.
