Chapter 822: A Critical Attack (I)
As the red figure’s spear was thrust into the sky, the red and green flames immediately turned into a huge pillar of fire which directly approached the ranks of the Dual Headed Demon Eagles in the distance. Over a hundred Dual Headed Demon Eagle produced miserable shrieks under the clans. It was too late for the demon gods to save them.
This was a warrior, a warrior completely clad in fire-red armor. The spear in his hand was fire-red as well as it surged with flames. His figure became rather illusory due to the heat in the surroundings, which obscured his appearance.
What a powerful warrior! The four demon gods in the air were surprised. Although they were not afraid of an opponent like this, the warrior’s cultivation still surprised them.
The crystal attack was clearly a domain technique! Otherwise, how could the forbidden spell that the Demon God of Curses had been charging up for all this time be nullified so easily?
The Ox Demon God Haagenti let out a great roar as his tremendous figure immediately swelled to a hundred meters tall. His weapon was a huge staff, which also expanded with his body. He completely protected the Demon God of Curses Stolas behind him.
With a sweep of the huge staff, it directly shot towards the fire-red warrior.
The warrior snorted coldly and thrust his spear forewards. As his body swelled immediately, the spear directly shot into the sky with a ring of fire. The ring of fire quickly revolved in the air and with a flash, he returned to the walls of the fort. He dodged Haagenti’s sweep.
The ring of fire exploded in the air, shooting off in all directions as blades of fire. It dealt a heavy blow to the Dual Headed Demon Eagles once more, claiming over a hundred lives.
The Ox Demon God was furious. Using the toughness of his body, he ignored the magic from the walls. The figure of a huge ox slowly appeared behind him. The ox was completely brownish yellow, with only a pair of white eyes. A terrifying aura immediately rose up and Haagenti’s muscles began to swell as well. Covered with thick veins, his tremendous body seemed even more terrifying. The huge staff in his hand seemed to become a pillar of light, shining brightly with brownish yellow light.
Demon God Transformation.
As one of the demon gods most suited for assaulting defensive structures, he unleashed his greatest strength as he fell down towards the Southeastern Fort. The huge staff in his hand, over a hundred and fifty meters long and ten meters wide, directly fell towards the walls. If his strike succeeded, he would probably tear open a huge gap in the walls, as well as claim countless lives.
It was also at this moment that a yellow figure suddenly appeared in the sky. The yellow figure was very strange. He was bare-chested, while his skin was grey. He shone with bright yellow light. His firm muscles exhibited strength and beauty. He also wielded a staff.
His bald head reflected the yellow light he shone with, while yellow flames burned in his eyes.
Faced with Haagenti’s terrifying strike, he used his own staff to receive the attack without any hesitation at all. It had to be mentioned that Haagenti and his size and auras were of completely different levels!
Boom!
There seemed to be a clap of thunder above the Southeastern Fort. The deafening sound made the soldiers of both sides jolt. The battle even came to a momentary standstill.
A sight that shocked everyone appeared. Haagenti was actually blown a thousand meters away. While the bald warrior was sent flying away as well, he stabilised himself in the air very quickly.
Evenly matched!
Heavens! A human warrior was actually evenly matched with the Ox Demon God Haagenti in terms of strength? That was completely unbelievable. After all, Haagenti had already undergone his demon god transformation and was in his strongest state. Even though he was not particularly skilled in battle, his physical strength was enough to rank him among the top ten demon gods.
“Hehe, now that’s satisfying,” the bald warrior chuckled before shooting off as a flash. He sought for the battle, directly charging at Haagenti.
The fire-red figure from before appeared on the battlefield once more, directly charging at the Stolas.
Without a doubt, these two warriors were both Wargods and they could actually match the Demon God of Curses and Ox Demon God in one against one battles. They even had a slight advantage in terms of elements. This forced Samigina who commanded the battle from afar to take them seriously.
The Southeastern Fort actually possessed powerhouses like this? Samigina was rather surprised. Just like how the Temple Union understood the demons, the demons had also investigated the powerhouses of the Temple Union thoroughly. Samigina knew exactly how many ninth step powerhouses the Warrior Temple possessed, but there never seemed to be fire and earth warriors as powerful as that!
He could obviously tell with his cultivation that the reason why the bald warrior could match Haagenti in physical strength was because he was a domain wielding powerhouse, and his domain should have boosted his strength. This was why he could evenly match Haagenti. Haagenti was ranked forty-eighth and did not possess his own domain. With his cultivation at the second rank of the ninth step combined with the demon god transformation, he failed to gain an edge over his opponent. If he could not defeat his opponent once the demon god transformation had ended, then he would probably lose the upper hand.
The fire warrior’s battle prowess was even greater. Not only did he have a domain, he had domain techniques as well. Fire was not as effective against curses as light, but the fire on par to domain techniques was a whole other story. Under the circumstances that Stolas had to avoid his opponent from approaching him, it would be very difficult for him to defeat this fire warrior.
Fortunately, nothing had happened to the Monster Demon God Bifrons and the Dark Phoenix Demon God Phenex’s sides. The flood of dark fire had already descended on the walls.
The abilities of the priests was demonstrated in that moment. A golden light appeared above the walls, blocking the effects of the dark fire. Ye Sanmi had lifted up his divine bow once more atop the walls as he stared at Phenex who was currently casting magic.
Gaap’s instant death had left behind a great psychological pressure on Phenex, such that he interrupted his spell and hid behind Bifrons in a flash. Only then was he at ease. Bifrons dared not to attack the city either, as his main mission was to protect Phenex.
Among the demon gods, their ranking determined their status. Although Phenex who ranked thirty-seventh did not possess a domain, his status was much higher than Bifrons who only ranked forty-sixth.
It was possible to say that Ye Sanmi alone had managed to kill a demon god and pin down two other demon gods, forcing Phenex’s battle prowess to decrease and preventing Bifrons from attacking the city so easily.
Up until now, most of the Eternal Heroes stationed at the Southeastern Fort had yet to take part in the battle. They were hiding their strength.
“Temple head Qiu, should we use what we’ve set up?” An old man asked Qiu Yonghao seriously, right after Qiu Yonghao had cleaned up a great flock of enemies with his domain.
The old man was also an Eternal Hero. There were another two people by his side. Although they were hidden by the cloaks that they wore, the pulses of the elements around them was extremely thick.
“No, not yet. The Fiend Clan has yet to move,” Qiu Yonghao replied sternly.
Now, he had completely settled down. After witnessing the strength of the Eternal heroes, Qiu Yonghao’s confidence increased significantly. With these Eternal Heroes, would Samigina had any chance at success?
As he said that, Qiu Yonghao rose up and entered the battle.
As the previous temple head of the Warrior Temple and the person who had comprehended the secrets of sword intent and the Domain of Sword Intent, Qiu Yonghao was extraordinarily deadly on the battlefield. In order to prevent further losses, Qiu Yonghao lead a group of warriors that had exceeded the sixth step and rose into the air, standing against the Birdy Demons and Dual Headed Demon Eagles.
The battle entered a deadlock. As the priests fended off the magic, the casualties of the humans slowly increased.
Samigina glanced at the situation of the battlefield coldly. For some reason, he felt like he had missed something the entire time.
Ever since the battle had begun, he had already sent in a hundred and fifty troops. Although none of them formed the most powerful troops under his control, it was still almost a third of his forces.
From how the situation seemed right now, it seemed to benefit them. The battle had come to a deadlock, so he believed that as long as more people entered the battle, the scales of victory would definitely tip one-sidedly.
However, he was in no hurry at all. He was not particularly protective over the elite army under his command. He only cared about his own clansmen. Did the casualties of the other clans have anything to do with him? The more they died now, the more his clansmen would be able to obtain when it came to pillaging the humans.
Aside from the Fiend army that amounted to a hundred thousand troops, most of the other soldiers that had yet to be sent into battle were from clans with demon gods. Although Samigina was the one in charge here, he still needed to look out for the other demon gods, or none of them would look good in they decided to complain to the Demon God Emperor.
“The Southeastern Fort’s side has already begun,” Long Tianyin said to Long Haochen.
The two of them were in a small meeting room. Aside from them, the Bright Glimmer of Hope was present as well.
Long Haochen nodded, “The information from Yue Ye is extremely accurate. To us, this is a battle that we have confidence in. Samigina’s already fallen into our trap. What about the other side?”
Long Tianyin said, “The other side’s already discovered the tracks of the enemies. Probably in a day or two’s time, the Hell Demon God Marbas and the Bear Demon God Valefor will arrive at the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass with their armies. The combination of the Hell Demon God and Bear Demon God is troublesome. However, while Chen Hongyu that old bastard is stingy most of the time, he does have a lot of good things hidden away. It’ll probably be difficult for Marbas or Valefor to get an edge over him.”
