This ogre leader is evidently the type that acts ruthless and speaks little, well aware of the villain’s fate of talking too much.
After locking eyes with Gauss, its thick legs swelled once more.
Two deep pits exploded under its feet.
"Boom!"
The massive body of the ogre leader stretched into a blur and was upon Gauss in the blink of an eye.
The black machete it wielded was wrapped in terrifying energy, bringing an overwhelming force intended to crush everything in its path.
Clearly, the ogre leader’s intent was clear; it wanted Gauss dead.
And immediately, at once.
Fortunately, Gauss acted decisively the moment the ogre moved.
The hardened scale bloodline and ghost form activated simultaneously.
While the ogre advanced, his body completed the ghost transformation.
His hair extended, shedding its color.
A tough, icy white stream of energy enveloped his entire being.
With a series of crackling sounds, his physique became more slender.
Two sharp, curved white horns emerged from his forehead.
A pair of wings formed of pale energy sprouted from the wing-like shoulder blades on his back.
In some way, his current form indeed bore some resemblance to the ghost-transformed ogre leader.
But only slightly, mainly reflected in the white hair color and horns on the head.
In terms of appearance, there was still an insurmountable gap.
The wings behind Gauss lightly flapped, without any whistling winds or surging currents, and with just a gentle motion, the surrounding light seemed to distort.
His figure instantly blurred, leaving behind a slowly dissipating white afterimage.
As for his true form, it had already flashed to the left side of the ogre leader.
Fast!
Beyond the limit of human eyes to capture!
Perhaps after multiple uses of this most powerful stacked state, although his energy continued to drain rapidly, Gauss felt much more at ease compared to the previous two times.
Unlike the ogre’s gigantification transformation, although it had a bigger change in body size compared to Gauss, its amplification strength was not as impressive as Gauss’s ghost form, possibly due to their differing purity levels.
Moreover, the ogre’s enhancement was mainly reflected in a single layer of strength, while Gauss’s was a comprehensive strengthening, especially in the explosion of agility and speed.
The ogre’s size predetermined that it would not excel in maneuverability and agility.
Hence, its initial surprise attack ended in failure.
"Boom!!!"
The black machete, several meters long, left a deep trench running tens of meters across the ground.
Having killed quite a few ogres tonight, the original title of "Giant Hunter" had long since evolved into "Giant Slayer."
Current effect: Weak point strike. During battles against half-ogres, ogres, and related advanced giant species creatures, it becomes easier to detect individual weak point locations, striking at weak points to inflict extra damage.
In addition to the original effect possessed during the Giant Hunter period.
After advancing to the Giant Slayer, a Star Destruction effect was added.
Star Destruction. Against half-ogres, ogres, and related advanced giant species creatures, the damage dealt by attacks is increased by an extra 20%.
When Gauss flashed to the side of the ogre leader, the two effects of the "Giant Slayer" title were naturally activated.
Several small and large red dots, like brands, appeared on various positions of the ogre leader’s huge body, clearly reflected in Gauss’s vision.
The effect of the "Giant Slayer" title is exceptionally direct and powerful.
Allowing him to perceive weak points from a perspective akin to "x-ray vision."
In this world, nothing is perfect, and even the most formidable body has its weak spots.
But finding these weak points is sometimes not simple.
Especially for those bodies gradually advancing towards the realm of the extraordinary, even more so.
Sometimes, the weak points understood by common people may not be the actual points of vulnerability.
Because some areas such as the head, eyes, neck, heart, organs, and genitals may no longer be critical vulnerabilities.
With the evolution of the body, these vulnerable areas get reinforced, even forming special protective measures, and the regeneration ability of corresponding parts also improves.
The small red dots on the ogre leader appear on the eyes, spine, ankles, and knees.
Apart from these weak points, the largest vulnerable red dot emerges at a spot three inches below the shoulder joint enveloped by massive, heavy muscles in its body, seeming to be a vital hub for power and energy transmission.
Once the node is damaged, although it may not be fatal instantly, it would disrupt the smooth flow of power throughout the body, akin to a grain of sand caught within a precise gear set.
Got you.
Gauss didn’t immediately turn to look there.
He willed himself, executing a Tier 4 spell, [Water Manipulation].
Holy Water transformed into a thousand silken threads, enveloping his body.
"Thousand Thread Barrier! Cut!"
Appearing at the ogre leader’s side, Gauss gathered countless fine water threads in his hand.
The ogre leader noticed Gauss’s presence, yet its speed was insufficient to react swiftly within such a short time.
"Too slow!"
"Sssss!!!"
The ogre leader struggled to twist its form, consciously hiding its vulnerable points as much as possible.
Those seemingly slender water lines quickly sliced into its body.
Instantly, a change subtly unfolded in the depths of its savage eyes.
Pain!
Such pain!!
As a commander-level demon with a special bloodline, it ranks among the pinnacle of war power within the same level of demons.
The world of demons may be brutal, but it indeed has its own order.
