CHAPTER 527: BATTLE OF TITANS (2/2)

Yet his slap failed to accomplish what he had set out to do. Even though the overlord death knight’s Territory did not have the ability to defend against physical attacks, that did not mean he was out of means either. The backhand might have easily smacked aside a few of the eight-star death knights who weren’t able to dodge in time, but the overlord death knight’s skeletal horse was able to nimbly leap onto the gigantic hand swinging its way. With a swing of his body, the overlord death knight leaned off to the right and slashed his sword down onto the giant’s arm as his steed continued running up the giant’s arm!

Compared to the lumbering elephant that was the Demonic Fire Igneous Giant, the overlord death knight was like an agile mouse, easily navigating its way around the behemoth’s body.

Clearly no one enjoyed having a pest scampering up their arm, and the overlord giant was no slouch either when angered. If his physical strike wasn’t going to work, then it was time for his abilities. The blackish-red veins throughout the giant’s body began to stir. A second later, lava erupted from hundreds of geysers throughout!

Faced with an all-around attack, escape was no longer possible for the overlord death knight. However, there was no need for the Undead knight to evade at all. After all, his Territory was able to nullify a certain degree of magical damage. What was magical damage? Basically, harm caused by energetic attacks like that giant’s ability. His Territory was even able to block a wall of nether flames from Ferti’nier, let alone lava that wasn’t at the level of a Territory attack.

Just like that, the spectacular fireworks display of lava fizzled out the moment it appeared, nullified by the Territory of the overlord death knight.

“ROARRR!!”

His fists had failed; now his lava ability had easily been thwarted as well. Not only that, the pest on his arm was still running amok on his own body… was there any bigger disgrace than this? In order to regain some modicum of respect in front of Ferti’nier, he finally deployed his vaunted Territory.

Territory: Lava Hellscape!

The instant his Territory was deployed, a seventy meter radius around the overlord giant began to rumble. A series of rocky stalagmites pierced through the earth, bringing along with it a geyser of lava. Even though the lava wasn’t going to do much against the overlord death knight, the rocky stalagmites were a physical form of magic and could harm him. As time ticked by, the stalagmites continued rising up from beneath the ground, forming a veritable stone forest as they tried to skewer the overlord death knight. This indiscriminate style of attack was finally able to force the death knight into a corner. On the flip side, being pierced by rock was barely a scratch for the overlord giant.
