Although the two were almost identical in size, the oppressive force of that push made it suspect that the other party might be a high-ranking demon who had come looking for fun.
However, its size doesn't lie; if it were a higher-level demon, it would probably be a head taller and a size bigger.
Unless the opponent is a giant elephant race whose power surpasses that of other races, there would not be such a huge difference in power among demons of the same level.
"I'll go!" another stone rhinoceros shouted as it entered the circle.
"Come here," the deer-headed behemoth said calmly.
"Whoosh! Roar! Whoosh! Roar—!"
The giant beasts formed a circle, as if beginning a strange ritual, shouting in unison, shoulder to shoulder, and dancing the same steps.
Almost immediately, the second stone rhinoceros to challenge them was also defeated, its small eyes filled with astonishment.
What...what kind of monster is this?!
That's incredibly strong!
Are there any individuals among the Demon Deer that strong?!
Is it...
Is this the legendary innate superhuman strength?!
Amidst the booming explosions, one stone rhinoceros after another surrendered in the duel, and the discussions grew louder.
At the beginning, every stone rhinoceros volunteered to step forward, but later there were fewer and fewer challengers, and even more passing demons stepped forward than stone rhinoceroses.
This giant deer is none other than An Yi, who has transformed into the [Giant Horned Moose].
This isn't a common demon, but you can see one out of every thousand demons on the streets outside.
Of course, compared to the small-bodied type of demon, the [Giant Horned Moose] is not considered rare.
At this moment, the other three members of the Saintess Squad were hidden in three pouches behind the black robe.
Lycorina has more than one magic-blocking item. Although it cannot completely block magic, it is not easily detected because it is on An'i's body.
The lower a demon's magic power, the more blurred their perception of magic power.
If it were a demon with high magic power, they would be able to accurately sense that Lycorina was a very obvious "point" on An'i.
Demons with low magic power could only vaguely sense that An Yi possessed magic power.
Is it strange that demons possess magical powers?
There's magic in the air!
The magic power was already partially obscured, and the magic power in the air of Viscount City was relatively dense, so most of the giant beasts here could not detect anything unusual.
After defeating dozens of demons in a row, the stone rhinoceroses even appealed to their superiors, such as captains or group leaders, in the surrounding area.
When these superiors arrived, not one of them could last even a second.
Once you start, you'll know whether you can win or not.
"Disperse! Everyone disperse!"
The gladiatorial combat was forcibly dispersed.
“Brave warrior, we are not qualified to accept your challenge on behalf of our leader, so please inform our leader first,” the leader of the stone rhinoceros said respectfully.
Demons respect the strong, and An Yi had subdued them all, so they would naturally greet him with smiles.
“Okay.” An Yi nodded.
"Don't worry, it won't be long. Find a place to sit down first."
Actually, before it even discussed it with An Yi, the Stone Horned Rhinoceros had already gone back to report. ％￣∫｛wu～¨
Before long, the members who reported the incident found the leader of the Stone Rhinoceroses, the organization's leader known as the "Stone Rhinoceros".
"Wow? Dozens of consecutive wins?" Shi Xi was also taken aback, then chuckled, "Alright, let it come!"
Chapter 225 The Giant Deer and the Giant Rhinoceros (4k)
"Whoosh! Roar! Whoosh whoosh!"
The deep, powerful roar, like a war drum, echoed across the wide square.
The stone rhinoceroses did not gather indoors, but in the square.
They formed a circle, dancing in unison, causing the earth to tremble rhythmically.
Among them, a stone rhinoceros, whose size was significantly larger than the others, stood proudly. Its upper body was covered with bluish-gray muscles that bulged out like solid steel.
Opposite it stood a massive deer-headed beast, its eyes calm and unwavering, as if the rhinoceros beast before it could not ignite any fighting spirit in it.
Looking at the [Stone Rhinoceros] in front of her, which was larger than the other Stone Rhinoceroses, An Yi knew without a doubt that it was a mutated individual among the Stone Rhinoceroses.
It is also a level nine demon, but it is much stronger than an ordinary level nine stone rhinoceros.
While not reaching the strength of a level 10 demon, it surpasses most level 9 demons.
Mutant individuals will have slightly more attributes than normal individuals.
This attribute, when applied to a physically weak human hero, might not result in a significant leap in strength.
However, the demons, whose physical bodies are already powerful, can squeeze out their limited points to the limit.
Even a tiny bit more strength can guarantee an 1% increase in the win rate in a contest.
Si still considered the possibility of unforeseen circumstances.
If we completely disregard unforeseen circumstances, this mere 1 unit of strength would result in a complete victory.
Of course, this is just a contest of strength, a push-and-pull situation. In actual combat, it depends on the combat experience and skills of different demon races, and also on one's own magic and the enemy's magic, which is another topic altogether.
"I am Alek, the Stone Rhinoceros!"
"Challengers, state your names!" Shi Xi roared.
“Sika,” Annie casually made up a name.
As the eight sides announced their names, the dancing steps and shouts of the surrounding rhinoceros beasts quickened, as if urging them to engage in a duel.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—!"
"I admire your courage to challenge me, and I've also heard about your strength!"
"If you lose, you can choose to leave, or you can choose to join us, [Rock Solid]," Stone Rhinoceros said in a resounding voice.
For the stone rhinoceros, it already took considerable courage for An Yi, given her size, to stand in front of it.
An Yi's size, including his horns, is only comparable to that of an ordinary stone rhinoceros, but the [Stone Rhinoceros] is a head taller and a size bigger than him.
If it were a normal demon, it would probably have already given up when it noticed the difference in size, right?
“What if I win?” Annie asked.
"You won?" Shi Xi chuckled.
Sure enough, this guy who claimed to enjoy challenging strong opponents also had ulterior motives.
“Speak, what do you want?” Shi Xi asked loudly.
An Yi feigned hesitation, then spoke;
"I like to make friends with strong people."
Shi Xi was also taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha—"
Alright! It seems we're kindred spirits!
Let me see if you're worthy of being my friend, Shi Xi!
Come! Let's fight!
"war."
With two thunderous strides, the two colossal beasts simultaneously raised their arms and shoved forward in a furious blast—
With a loud bang, the air between the four palms burst open the moment they came together, and the impact sent a yellow image rolling outwards.
"Such a huge swelling! ∮∨zhUANqUN: Help! ∷≤缌，〕ba∮↓◎〈缌san0@ Serving you with all your might!"
The stone rhinoceros was shocked!
Despite having the advantage in height and build, in a head-to-toe struggle, he was overpowered by his opponent in the first wave of collision!
It held its breath and exerted its strength again, barely managing to contend with its opponent.
However, it knew that it was not that its strength was greater than its opponent's, but that its opponent's body was not as tough as its own!
Judging from the feel of the stone rhinoceros, the deer-headed behemoth's hand seemed like it could be crushed at any moment, clearly indicating that it was physically weaker than the stone rhinoceros.
However, the explosive power and the force of the counterattack shown by the opponent were clearly superior to its own.
If the opponent's physical strength is comparable to its own, it will inevitably be the loser.
Because the other party was enduring the excruciating pain of having their palm crushed while struggling against me!
Shi Xi guessed correctly. Although An Yi's strength had reached 90, his resilience, even with equipment enhancements, was only 60.
The strength of the stone rhinoceros is above that of the ordinary stone rhinoceros, exceeding 75 and approaching 80. Even with An Yi's resilience, he really couldn't withstand it.
If these demons could see health points, they would find that An'i's health points had been continuously decreasing since the start of the struggle.
Some might wonder why not just add 30 points to Strength, so that 120 points of Strength would directly overwhelm the Stone Rhinoceros and secure victory.
However, if he were to increase the power to 120 points, the stone rhinoceros might be pushed away by this attack, but the stone rhinoceros's nearly 80 points of power would act on his body, and his hands might be crippled on the spot.
With only 30 resilience, how can it withstand a force of nearly 80?!
Normally, we don't need to consider this situation because we have swords as our weapons, and those don't require us to worry about toughness.
Even if it can't break through the demon's defenses, the blade won't break.
If you were to replace it with Jiu An Yi's body to directly withstand this kind of damage, without increasing resilience, not only would her hands be shattered, but her health would also drop to an extremely low level, bringing her to the brink of death.
An Yi's strength already far surpasses that of his opponent, so improving his resilience is enough.
Unfortunately, various amplification skills cannot be used in this situation.
Putting aside the obvious magic fluctuations, the amplification magic would also cause the user to glow, which would violate the rules of [Brute Force Gladiator].
"Still not stopping?!" Shi Xi pressed down again with all his might, not allowing the other party to retreat even an inch.
