Chapter 67: Gold Level Devil
“Did the Overlord do a shelling over yonder? That is where the commonfolk are!” The remaining hunters were bewildered.
But a moment later, they saw a red silhouette dropping from the sky, and like an artillery shell, ferociously blasted into the heart of the group of demons.
Boom!!
Battle skill – Demolition Fist!!
The dragonman youngster’s total Bursting Explosion battle qi instantly diminished by a tenth.
The needle demon that directly met the fist exploded into dregs of flesh.
Soon after, the shockwave of the attack threw the surrounding imps into the air.
The attack cratered the ground, causing earth, gravel, and demon bits to splatter all over the place.
The demon formation was shattered, and the front was abruptly cleared.
Among the severed limbs and broken bodies, the dragonman youngster slowly stood up from his kneeling position, unclenched his fist, and turned to regard the battlefield, his dragon tail vigorously swinging to and fro.
The demons were horrified, and for a moment, none dared to encircle him as their morale plummeted.
“Commander Long Fu!” The Night Devil Commander cheered, then promptly tangled again with the enemy before them.
Upon seeing the dragonman youngster, a silver level hook devil who had originally planned to burst through the Night Devil Hunting Group’s defensive line, turned around and charged at him.
The dragonman youngster coldly snorted, and did not evade nor flee, instead he charged too.
The two collided midair.
The hook devil struck dragon scales with its serrated blade, creating a showing of sparks.
The dragonman youngster’s dragon claws tore the hook devil’s skin, then in his palm, a silver radiance erupted once more.
Battle skill – Demolition Fist!
A chariot seemed to strike the hook devil, causing it to fly through a collapsed wall and sink into a building.
The building then collapsed, causing a large amount of smoke and dust to poof out.
The smoke and dust obstructed the eyes.
The dragonman youngster was just about to press the attack, when suddenly, he sensed a magic fluctuation emanating from the ruined building.
Racial magic – High-level Teleportation!
“Where did it teleport to?!” The dragonman youngster stared, then turned his head around towards the execution platform.
“Defend!” Tan Qiu screamed as he moved forward.
A moment ago, 3 hook devils had suddenly teleported around them.
Mo Kong had been secretly following the entire battlefield.
When he saw the dragonman youngster weaving his way all over the place and putting down the largest group of demons, he had no choice but to respond.
Following his orders, the hook devils quickly teleported to the most important place, the rear lines where Tan Qiu was.
If either the priest or any magician died, it would be an immense blow.
If all of them died, the pressure on Rou Zang’s pirate group would greatly dimmish.
“Protect the magician!”
“Return to defend.”
“Protect the priest!”
The dragonman youngster, Zong Ge, Hei Fei, Ba Hu, and the other silver levels understood that this was the tipping point of the battle, and immediately withdrew back.
The Night Devil Commander and a hook devil were still tangling with each other.
The city guard commander wanted to return to help, but he was engaged with Lan Lu.
Fortunately, the priest who had been staying his hand, immediately used a divine spell.
Pure white radiance illuminated the small templar knight squad, increasing their offense and defense sharply.
The small team was in itself a battle squad, and worked together very closely, allowing them to barely hold back the three hook devils’ surprise attack.
But it wouldn’t last.
After all, the hook devils were silver levels.
In their first clash, a templar knight was sawed by a serrated blade, causing him to bleed profusely.
Racial magic – Summon Demons!
The three hook devils had noticed Long Fu, Shi Qi, and the others coming back to help, thus they used this racial magic at the same time.
Space violently fluctuated, and imps and needle demons appeared from nowhere.
The hook devils howled, and the newly summoned imps and needle demons charged at the silver warrior who had come to help.
Divine spell – Radiant Chains!
The priest coldly snorted, and raised his hands towards the sky.
Brilliant light fell from the sky, and irradiated the three hook devils, then rapidly condensed into light chains that locked around the hook devils’ hands and feet.
The hook devils did their best to struggle free, however, this resulted in delaying the tempo of their offensive.
The dragonman youngster took the lead to breakthrough the tangle, and like an artillery shell being fired, slammed into a hook devil.
Shi Qi, Hei Fei, and the others followed right behind him.
Tan Qiu let out a deep sigh of relief.
The devil’s surprise attack had mostly crumbled, and the two remaining hook devils would find it difficult to menace them.
In the depths of the castle, when Mo Kong saw this, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I should withdraw.”
He looked at the magic formation beneath his feet, his eyes flashing with pain.
Arranged in the center of the magic formation was a dark red devil heart, a pair of steel goat horns, and a lotus flower shaped pile of sulfur, these were all gold level casting materials!
Mo Kong took in a light breath, then began to activate the magic formation.
Suddenly above the town, a purple and red pentagram formation appeared.
The formation was rotating, and black smoke curled around it.
The black smoke was devoured by the formation soon after, and red light began to bubble forth from its depths.
A formidable life aura began to emanate.
The black smoke dissipated, and a tall devil appeared from nowhere.
He was 2.7 meters tall, almost as high as a three story building, and had a sturdy body.
His skin was dark red, he had pitch black demon horns towering from his head, a pair of wide bad wings grew from his back, and he had a tail that hung to the ground.
In his hand, he held a long spiked chain, and when his thick legs hit the ground, it created a soft echo, revealing how heavy his body was.
“Awoo!” He raised his head and howled as his life aura erupted like a gigantic wave.
Horn devil, gold level!
“How can this be?” The priest was shocked, “Is this really Mo Kong’s doing? He actually summoned a gold level horn devil?”
“Where is the caster?” The priest urged the female magician.
The female magician’s eyes were still closed, she had been constantly investigating, however, from beginning to end, she couldn’t make any progress.
“Damm it!” Tan Qiu went white, the gold level devil had put great pressure on him.
“Where is Lord Guang Ke?” He unconsciously turned around to look at the castle.
But there was no sign of Guang Ke.
“It won’t be that easy to struggle free from my nightmare spell.” Mo Kong sneered, how could he leave out his most powerful opponent, Guang Ke?
“A gold level horn devil…” Cang Xu’s eyes glistened with awe.
Neither he nor Zi Di had acted.
They had the same misgivings as Tan Qiu, they also couldn’t grasp what Rou Zang was planning.
With the enemy in the dark and I in the light, if they act recklessly, they would definitely be targeted.
Magicians had a large impact, and often during war, could overturn entire battles.
Despite the heavy defenses around them, the Clam Cloth Merchant Alliance magician and the priest were still raided by devils.
Many devils could teleport, thus Zi Di and Cang Xu didn’t act blindly without thinking.
“Look there, Lan Lu has nearly escaped from the public square.” Zi Di suddenly said.
In the chaotic battlefield, the commoners were in disarray while the higherups had their hands full.
Zi Di was very interested in Lan Lu’s soul, and had kept a close eye on him.
Cang Xi and Zi Di quickly glanced at each other, then quietly descended the tower.
The gold level horn devil attacked Tan Qiu, the priest, and the others.
Among them were a priest and a magician, the biggest targets!
The horn devil lowered its head like a reckless ox and charged. It charged straight ahead with the attitude of trampling underfoot everything that hindered it.
He stomped through a series of depressions in the public square.
“Entrench yourselves, don’t withdraw, give me time!” The priest shouted, then prayed with all his might.
This was the correct strategy.
The horn devil had the same teleportation spell, but hadn’t used it yet.
If they scatted to take shelter, it would give the enemy a generous opportunity to act.
“Stop him!” Tan Qiu clenched his teeth.
The city guard commander spitefully glanced at Lan Lu’s back before returning with the city guard to assist.
The templar knights assembled and tightened together to form a human barricade to block the charging horn devil’s path.
The Night Devil Commander didn’t dare to fight the horn devil in close combat, and instead peppered it with crossbow arrows from a distance.
The alchemy crossbow arrows hit the horn devil, but they couldn’t pierce his armor-like skin,
Midway through his charge, Zong Ge suddenly attacked from the side.
He used a battle skill, and his entire body was draped with a silver luster, it was obvious he was using his battle qi to its fullest.
The moment he intercepted the horn demon, the latter suddenly flung his spiked chain.
When it was compressed, the spiked chain looked like a serrated machete. But upon extending the spiked chain now looked like a steel barbed whip.
When the spiked chain lashed at Zong Ge, Zong Ge was forced to raise his broadsword to ward it off.
The immense power of it instantly restrained Zong Ge’s charge, and repelled him back.
At the same life level, half beastmen were weaker than horn devils. What’s more, this horn devil was a gold level, and was in all aspects, above the half beastmen.
The horn devil continued his charge, until suddenly, a red humanoid shadow appeared above to his right.
Zong Ge and the dragonman youngster had cultivated a tacit understanding on Mystifying Monster Island.
When Zong Ge charged in, so too did the dragonman youngster.
The horn devil was mainly focused on Zong Ge, giving the dragonman youngster an opportunity he seized.
Battle skill – Demolition Fist!
As both fists swung, the dragonman youngster’s internal battle qi plummeted by two thirds.
Bang!
Two explosions echoed simultaneously to form a singular sound.
By the time the fists made impact, the horn devil had already raised his arm to protect himself.
The explosion formed a shockwave, causing the dragonman youngster to fly through the air and land in a distance away.
The horn devil was unmoved.
But his charge had finally been held back!
When the priest saw that, he immediately casted a divine spell. Layers of radiant pressure to pressed on the horn devil, impairing his speed and strength.
“Well done, Commander Long Fu!” Tan Qiu cheered, in this crucial moment, he unexpectedly found that the dragonman youngster had been the most reliable.
A moment later, the dragonman youngster, Zong Ge, Hei Fei, and the city guard commander leading the city guard, surrounded the horn devil from all sides.
The horn devil huffed, a red scorching breath belched from his nose.
“Fear me, humans!” He straightened his chest, raised his arms, and used a racial magic.
Fear spell!
In a shockwave, an incorporeal spiritual attack battered everyone engaged.
The dragonman youngster, Zong Ge, Tan Qiu, the priest, and all the rest felt their hearts jumping about, a strong feeling of dread attacked their innermost being.
Hei Fei and the city guard commander screamed in fright, then turned around and fled.
The others were struggling, their fighting spirit had been greatly diminished, and the fear urged them to flee, however, their remaining rationality told them that they had to remain calm!
A moment later, the fear seemed to be flooding them like a tsunami, and everyone fell over each other in their eagerness to escape.
The horn devil burst into laughter, and jumped into the sky, then dove at the priest.
The priest, female magician, and Tan Qiu were running like headless chickens because of the fear’s influence.
The horn devil hated the priest the most.
He lifted his spiked chain, and aimed it at the priest’s head to split it twain.
Ding!
A clump of white light glittered like starlight.
The horn devil’s eyes widened in alarm and fury.
The one who blocked his focused attack was a man that sparkled with dazzling white light.
Guang Ke!
