Chapter 253 The Desperate Demon
Time goes back to the chaotic eve before the dragon appeared.
Linxia Town, a once peaceful and tranquil borderland, has now become an abyss of despair and fear.
The afterglow of the lonely moon was swallowed up by the thick haze, and was replaced by a blazing fire of karma.
Like a greedy beast, it ruthlessly devoured every inch of land, turning the green farm into dead ashes, and the paradise on earth turned into purgatory in an instant.
The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and lingering wailing. The area was surrounded by a sea of fire. In the light of the fire, every distorted face was filled with fear and despair.
And in the crack of the sky, the devil's figure was looming.
Their huge wings flapped the void, and their eyes flashed with greed and bloodthirstiness.
Like a judge from high above, they look down at the land that is about to become their plaything.
"what!"
Countless people were screaming and wailing.
"No, it's impossible."
"Boom!"
The deafening explosions came one after another, as if they were the most ruthless mockery between heaven and earth, and every roar was accompanied by the passing of life.
Behind the demon, a magic circle quietly emerged like a ghost.
Two demons of completely different appearances, one thin and one fat, stood in front of the formation.
They opened their arms and a cruel smile appeared at the corners of their mouths, as if the suffering in this world was the source of their joy.
"Feel the hell, and then die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle shone brightly, and countless fireballs and ice cones poured out like raindrops at an astonishing speed. Wherever they passed, all living things turned into nothing.
The screams of “Ahhhhhh!” were instantly drowned out by the roar of the explosion.
Dozens of adventurers closed their eyes forever without even having a chance to resist in this sudden attack.
What’s even more bizarre is that as lives faded away, tiny dots of blue light slowly emerged from the fallen bodies, like the faintest stars in the night sky.
The demons seemed to have been prepared for this. They suddenly opened their mouths and sucked the blue light into their stomachs with an irresistible force, as if they were greedily devouring fragments of souls.
"Gah-"
The fat devil burped contentedly, stroking his round belly, his eyes gleaming with an unsatisfied gleam.
However, when its gaze turned to the distance, seeing the back of the devil in a suit and tie, walking in a hurry, a hint of greed emerged again.
"If I could only get that receptor..."
It murmured to itself, its tone full of desire for unknown power.
"Hey, are you crazy?"
Upon seeing this, the thin devil quickly spoke out a reminder, his eyes full of warnings.
"That's the prey that the boss has set his eyes on. How dare you covet it?"
When the fat devil heard this, the greed on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by deep regret and helplessness.
It knows very well that in this world where the strong are respected, they are just pawns in the hands of the boss, and any act of overstepping may bring about a catastrophic disaster.
"well--"
This heavy sigh escaped from the greasy corner of the fat devil's mouth.
There was a complex light flashing in his eyes. If, if that delicious bite could fall into his stomach, perhaps everything would be different.
“Die!”
At this moment, along with this roar, the sky seemed to be torn apart.
A dazzling blue rocket streaked across the sky, carrying a breath of destruction, and shot accurately at the gigantic demon.
The air was filled with tension and anticipation, and everyone's breathing held.
boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, and the scorching blue flames were like a blooming lotus, instantly illuminating the entire sky and dyeing everything around it with an ominous blue-purple color.
“Did it work?”
Jasmine bit her lower lip, her beautiful face filled with worry and expectation.
However, reality is always so cruel.
When the dust settled, the flames faded.
Everyone was surprised to find that the two demons were still standing there intact.
The whole body is tightly wrapped in a layer of transparent circular protective shield, as if wearing invisible armor. No matter how the outside world attacks, it cannot be hurt at all.
“I’ve done this so many times!”
The fat demon roared with a strong sense of impatience and anger. He waved his hand violently, and magic power gathered into a vortex in his palm. A complex magic circle emerged, releasing a dazzling light. "No matter what you do, you can't destroy my shield."
The demon's voice was full of confidence.
"Yeah?"
At this moment, a cold and firm voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence at the scene.
Everyone looked back in astonishment, only to see a human warrior in silver armor who had quietly appeared on the battlefield. He was holding a huge battle axe, with eyes as sharp as torches, staring coldly at the demon in front of him.
“How do you know if you don’t try?”
Rachel chuckled, stretched out her body, and pounced on the transparent shield like a cheetah.
As the giant axe was swung, it created a sharp gust of wind and struck the shield hard.
Kaz!
In a flash, sparks flew everywhere, as if even the air was torn apart by this blow.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the shield that was once thought to be indestructible actually began to crack!
“It’s cracked!”
"Very good!"
The crowd burst into cheers, and there was a glimmer of hope in everyone's eyes.
They saw the dawn of victory, and the once unattainable dream seemed to be right before their eyes.
However, at this critical moment, the fat devil attacked again.
He snorted coldly, raised his hand, and a powerful magic power attacked Rachel like a storm.
Rachel was caught off guard and her body froze due to the impact of this force. She drew an arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
boom!
In the flying dust, Rachel looked so small and helpless.
This sudden change extinguished the flame of hope that had just been ignited by the adventurers.
What made them even more desperate was that the shield that had just cracked was recovering at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, the cracks disappeared without a trace and the shield became indestructible again.
As if mocking their incompetence and stupidity, a smug smile appeared on the fat devil's face.
The devil's wings spread out, covering half of the sky, and its eyes flashed with a playful and cruel light, as if all life was just a plaything in its hands.
“No, there’s no way we can win.”
"They are demons, real demons"
“We’re all going to die”
To use the example of playing games, it's like the little bit of blood that you wiped off with great difficulty is easily restored by the BOSS. Is it the blood restored?
"No, we must not be swallowed up by such despair!"
"Damn it!"
Jasmine looked at the demon in the sky and cursed inwardly.
"There's no way to hit that protective shield."
“It’s a completely unsolvable existence.”
"Whatever magic it is, it will be blocked."
"Even physical attacks are useless"
"Hey, hey, hey, who said it's useless?"
Rachel slowly got up from the ruins, dusted herself off, and smiled confidently.
"Didn't a crack appear just now?"
"If once doesn't work, try twice. If twice doesn't work, try three times."
Magic power gushed out of Rachel's body, then gathered inside her body and circulated.
"I don't believe that I can't open that turtle shell."
"Hahahaha!"
Hearing Rachel's words, the fat devil sneered and laughed:
"Just you? You want it too."
Just as the fat devil was about to continue his taunting.
But all I saw was a dazzling white line in the night sky, cutting through the darkness, as fast as lightning, and passing over its neck accurately.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all sounds stopped abruptly.
