Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1628: 684: Crushing

Chapter 1628: Chapter 684: Crushing

“Please, Fire God’s true body, descend…”

After Wang Tao silently recited this in his heart, the summoning altar in his hands ignited just like the first ti he summoned a Fire Beast. The offerings and available uses rapidly reset to zero, until the entire summoning altar was completely consud by flas.

Before him appeared a familiar small black hole, emanating scorching heat. The surrounding fire elents beca intensely active, and the temperature soared rapidly.

For others, this might be unbearable. If their strength were weak, they might even collapse and die instantly. But for Wang Tao, he felt extrely comfortable instead. After all, his affinity with the Fire Attribute Laws was very high; the more fire elents there were, the stronger he beca.

This also made Wang Tao suddenly ponder a question: he and the Fire Beast about to be summoned both aligned with fire attributes. Could it lead to an inability to harm one another?

There wasn’t ti to dwell on it though, as a tiny fla abruptly erged from the black hole. The temperature surged dramatically before it vanished in an instant. The black hole disappeared, and a massive fla appeared before Wang Tao.

[HP: 10,000,000/10,000,000]

[Level: Seventh Rank Lord]

[Law Power: Fire (Basic) 100/100]

[Law Domain: Fire]

[Fire: Pure Fire, Burning Sky and Boiling Sea]

Swish—

The mont the Fire Beast erged, Wang Tao imdiately activated [Infinite Karma Fire], enveloping the Fire Beast in an instant.

Wang Tao didn’t want to risk using his Law Domain prematurely, fearing it might scare the Fire Beast back into the black hole before it fully erged. To play it safe, he waited until the black hole completely vanished before deploying his domain.

The Seventh-Rank Fire Beast was clearly bewildered at this mont.

It had initially sensed the summoning of a seemingly weak human and assud it had found an opportunity. Excitedly, it woke from its slumber and rushed over.

But upon arrival, it realized this was no weak human—this human’s power exceeded its own!

Compared to the previous Stone Beast, as a fellow Fire Attribute Domain User, it could even more deeply sense the might of Wang Tao’s Law Domain.

Above Seventh Rank, the Law Domain is the most fundantal, most crucial ability. In battles between domains of the sa attribute, if one’s Law Power is weaker, they will remain perpetually suppressed, with slim chances of turning the tide.

Too bad it couldn’t curse. Otherwise, it would’ve been guaranteed to unleash a torrent of profanity.

Whoosh—

Unlike the previous Seventh-Rank Fire Beast, this one, upon seeing Wang Tao, didn’t react with imdiate aggression. Instead, it activated its domain and tried to flee!

Unable to confidently take down Wang Tao, it opted to escape for now. After all, it had already arrived in this domain. If given enough ti, it could grow stronger, ascend to higher levels. Engaging in a prolonged battle with a more powerful human wasn’t worth risking everything.

But while it wanted to leave, Wang Tao had no intention of letting it go.

Before summoning this Fire Beast, Wang Tao had already prepared for the possibility of it attempting to flee, keeping his focus entirely on it. As soon as he noticed even a hint of retreat, Wang Tao imdiately pursued.

Red and black flas instantly surrounded the Fire Beast. While its Law Domain shielded it from damage for now, neither could it manage to escape.

“Since you’ve co, why not stay a little longer?”

Wang Tao grinned, then intensified his efforts, countless red-black flas surging toward the Fire Beast.

The range of Wang Tao’s [Infinite Karma Fire] spanned roughly 2,500 ters, whereas the Fire Beast’s [Fire] range covered only 1,000 ters. This created an overlapping area between their domains. Within this overlap, [Infinite Karma Fire] and [Fire] temporarily clashed in a stalemate—but Wang Tao could clearly feel [Fire] steadily losing ground.

“Oh?”

This piqued Wang Tao’s curiosity.

Earlier, he had been musing whether, as fellow Fire Attribute Domain Users, their attacks might lack any significant effect on each other, potentially unable to even cause harm. After all, Wang Tao was currently immune to fire! And the Fire Beast, being pure fla itself, surely wouldn’t fear fire either, right?

But now, he found that things weren’t unfolding the way he’d imagined?

While Wang Tao hadn’t yet inflicted any damage on the Fire Beast, his Law Domain was evidently dominating from the outset. The Fire Beast’s domain seed to be retreating slowly, unable to hold out for long. If Wang Tao fully suppressed its domain, it might prove even simpler to hunt this Fire Beast than it was to hunt the Stone Beast!

“Could it be that the Fire Beast is pretending to be weak? Planning so kind of sche?”

While attacking, Wang Tao scrutinized the Fire Beast carefully. Suddenly, a trace of realization dawned on his face.

“I think I’ve figured it out…”

Wang Tao roughly understood what was happening. The Fire Beast wasn’t feigning weakness—it truly couldn’t withstand him!

The Fire Beast appeared weaker than the Stone Beast not because it was genuinely inferior, but because both shared the Fire Law Domain—

Ultimately, all Law Domains utilize elental manipulation as their primary offensive approach.

Within a given tifra and area, the number of elents manipulable is finite.

Between domains of identical attributes, if the stronger Law Domain controls one more elent, the weaker one loses access to that sa elent. This give-and-take ans the weaker domain is effectively short two elents. Under such circumstances, it cannot unleash its full potential.

Thus, in battles between sa-attribute, sa-level Law Domains, the result is often a case of “the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker.”
