At this moment, outside the Simulation Battlefield, the students watching Fang Zhou's live battle were once again stunned by his flawless combat style.

In the Abyss Difficulty [Little Inferior Demon Camp], the eight Lower-Rank Apprentice Demons had tormented top freshmen like Ye Fan and Meng Hongzhuang to the point of utter misery, forcing them to temporarily retreat.

Yet, Fang Zhou was now facing eleven Little Inferior Demons, including several elite Middle-Rank ones, and he defeated them cleanly and effortlessly. The gap between them was simply too vast!

They asked themselves, with their current strength, let alone breaking through alone like Fang Zhou, even a team of three would likely struggle to withstand the onslaught of these eleven Little Inferior Demons. The potential for an Undead Mage to be a one-man army was already becoming apparent in Fang Zhou.

「」

As he progressed deeper, Fang Zhou could clearly feel the sulfuric stench in the air gradually thickening again. At the end of the right corridor, just like the left one, there was a closed door. The sulfuric stench here had grown so intense that Fang Zhou's projection felt a sharp irritation in its eyes and nose. To some extent, this pungent scent reflected the Demon's strength.

It seems there's a big one ahead.

Fang Zhou gripped his Magic Staff, preparing for battle. Just as he was about to command the Skeletons to break down the door, a frantic roar suddenly emanated from within the room. The door was pushed open by a red claw, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.

This towering Demon had a pair of long, fiery red horns on its head, resembling two sharp daggers. Its body was exceptionally strong, standing nearly three meters tall, its head almost touching the ceiling when upright. A layer of fiery red Scale Armor covered its solid, developed muscles, and its large mouth was filled with sharp, barbed teeth.

This was the main combat unit of the Abyssal Demons: the [Horned Demon]!

Horned Demons ordinarily possessed Black Iron-rank strength, but in this Simulation Battlefield, they were suppressed to the Middle-Rank Apprentice level. Even so, its combat power made it a final boss-like existence compared to Same-Tier Little Inferior Demons.

"Kill… die… eat!"

The Horned Demon let out a muffled roar. As its blood-red eyes fixed on Fang Zhou, it radiated not so much a fierce killing intent as a ravenous hunger. No one would be pleased to be stared at by such a malevolent Demon, and Fang Zhou was no exception.

"Full assault!"

Fang Zhou issued the combat order. The Skeletons before him let out cold shrieks and charged toward the Horned Demon. Though they only numbered in the dozens, they advanced with the crushing force of a tidal wave of bone.

The corridor was built to human proportions, making it quite narrow for the large-bodied Horned Demon. With no room to evade the Skeletons' charge, the Horned Demon bellowed and swung its arms, batting aside the two in front. However, it was immediately swarmed by the Skeletons behind them.

The Horned Demon's muscles were extraordinarily tough and covered by a layer of especially solid Scale Armor. The Skeletons' sharp Bone Claws struggled to pierce the Demon's hide, penetrating less than three centimeters into the muscle before getting stuck.

A pained scream erupted from the Horned Demon's mouth, and it began to flail its arms frantically. Seeing this, Fang Zhou's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately commanded the frontline Skeletons to retreat.

But he was a split second too late. The two Skeletons that had drawn blood were caught tightly in the Horned Demon's hands as they tried to pull back. The two Skeletons struggled desperately, but both their physical attributes and Power Attribute were far inferior to the Horned Demon's. No matter how hard they fought, they couldn't break free.

Three more Skeletons rushed to assist, pouncing on the Horned Demon's vulnerable abdomen under Fang Zhou's command. The Horned Demon sneered and clenched its fists, crushing the Soul Fires of the two Skeletons with a sudden burst of power. They instantly scattered into heaps of bone.

Next, it swung a fist, sending another Skeleton flying into the air. Its head crashed hard against the corridor ceiling. With the clear sound of breaking bone, its skull shattered and its Soul Fire was extinguished, killing it on the spot.

Fang Zhou maintained a cold expression, calmly directing the Skeleton Army to endlessly surge toward the Horned Demon. He understood that in this narrow pass, the braver combatant would prevail.

Skeletons are nothing more than cannon fodder! Kill as many as you want; I'll just summon more!

Another Skeleton drove its Bone Claw into the Horned Demon's thick thigh. The Demon howled in pain as it grabbed the Skeleton, slammed it to the ground, then stomped on it with a heavy foot.

CRUNCH.

As that Skeleton perished, a cold light flashed in Fang Zhou's eyes. He had found an opening. He swiftly swung his Magic Staff, casting [Skeleton Shackles]!

Four thick bone chains erupted from the void, binding the Horned Demon's limbs securely. Realizing its dire situation, the Horned Demon roared at the sky, struggling with all its might. Enduring the immense drain on his Spiritual Power, Fang Zhou locked the Horned Demon in place with [Skeleton Shackles] while simultaneously forming three Skeleton Flying Spears.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

With a series of sharp, piercing whistles, one spear shot toward the Horned Demon's left eye, another toward its chest, and the final one toward its lacerated flank, which the Skeletons had been gnawing.

Bound tightly by the [Skeleton Shackles] and the Skeleton Army, the Horned Demon barely managed to twist its head and evade the spear aimed at its eye. However, its chest and flank were pierced clean through by the other two spears.

Under the triple-damage attributes of the Skeleton Flying Spears—Armor-Piercing, Corrosive Poison, and Death Energy—the Horned Demon's renowned Scale Armor was as fragile as paper.

Seeing this, Fang Zhou smirked coldly. "Explode!"

BOOM!

Amidst the Horned Demon's agonizing howl, its upper body was engulfed by explosive bone fragments. Not only were most of its once-solid scales charred and peeled away, but the pair of sharp horns on its forehead had also snapped off.

The wounded Horned Demon roared madly. Its former ferocity gone, it retreated timidly back into the room the moment the [Skeleton Shackles] dissipated.

Fang Zhou was prepared. With a light wave of his Magic Staff, the fearless Skeleton Army charged at the heavily injured Horned Demon. Several Bone Claws lashed out at once. This time, the Horned Demon had no solid Scale Armor left to block the Skeletons' damage.

After fending off a few more hits, it was finally overwhelmed and tackled to the ground by the swarm of Skeletons. The Horned Demon groaned and its flailing arms faltered for a moment. Seizing the opportunity, Fang Zhou fired two more [Skeleton Flying Spears].

One spear pierced the Horned Demon's thick neck, its tip protruding from the back, while the other plunged directly into the Demon's eye socket.

The Horned Demon let out one final roar. Its blood-red eyes lost their light as its massive body swayed, then collapsed with a heavy thud.
