Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 936

Huo Yi, as the leader, was fully aware of the changes in his demon subordinates, even during the battle, and became somewhat anxious, wanting to end the fight as soon as possible.

The worst thing is being interrupted by your own subordinates when the battle reaches a crucial moment.

However, it was precisely this change in mindset that allowed the War King to seize upon his weakness.

"Demon, you are a good opponent, but in the end I won."

The War King's eyes glowed red as he unleashed a combo that completely overwhelmed Fire One.

Then, the exquisite and complex armor of qi and blood continuously fell off until it completely gathered in his right hand, and then struck Huo Yi's chest core fiercely.

A fist struck Huo Yi directly in the chest, but did not pierce through it.

"burst!"

With a roar, the War King's entire arm exploded, and amidst Huo Yi's complex expression, his entire body instantly exploded.

The scalding blood burned the War King's cheeks, revealing deep white bones.

"I won!" The War King grinned.

boom!

Just then, a violent roar came from the direction of the upper city. The shaking ground caused the War King to fall to the ground instantly, and then the surrounding demons pounced on him.

Chapter 835 Summoning the Demon Lord and the Return of the Dream

Boom!

A violent explosion resounded in the main city, the terrifying power causing the entire Blackwater City to tremble. A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, tearing through the atmosphere and revealing the boundless starry world.

The explosion was very loud, but its impact was minimized to one area.

Looking in the direction from which the explosion had risen, Captain Lei, who was fighting desperately against the demons, also showed a look of utter grief.

"Ancestor!"

Captain Lei looked somber, never expecting that even with the return of the ancestors, they would still have to resort to such a method, choosing to perish together with the demons.

When the main city was breached by the demons, Captain Lei was filled with despair and even fought the demons with a sense of self-abandonment.

Although everyone is working hard, that kind of desperate effort with no future in sight is almost meaningless.

Then the five elders returned, and Captain Lei and the others were filled with hope again.

Although the demons were numerous and powerful, the other elders had been suppressing the entire Blackwater City for many years, which still gave Captain Lei and his men endless confidence.

Unfortunately, even with the return of the five patriarchs, they were still no match for the demons.

As for the explosion just now, it was naturally the last trump card of the six major families of Blackwater City. Below the Gold level, no one could withstand it.

However, it required the consent of at least half of the ancestors of the six major families to make any move, which led to the Tai family ancestor, who was guarding the family, having to perish together with the demons in another way, and then becoming a monster.

Realizing they were no match for the demons, the desperate ancestors activated their ultimate method, hoping to take all these high-ranking demons away.

In this way, although the remaining demon army is still huge, without the guidance of the higher-ranking demons, it will fall into chaos.

At that time, these skilled professionals might be able to join forces to break through.

Even a sliver of hope is infinitely better than no hope at all.

"We must survive!"

At the last moment, the Lei family patriarch also conveyed his thoughts to Captain Lei, though it was most likely on the public channel.

"Ancestor, I..."

Captain Lei was momentarily confused, unsure whether to continue fighting to the death or try to retreat, only to die a humiliating death in the encirclement.

Sometimes, a moment of discouragement can have a significant impact on one's performance in battle.

At this moment, Captain Lei desperately wished he could be as powerful as he was in his dream, so he could save his family from disaster.

Unfortunately, a dream is just a dream, and it can never become reality.

Boom...

In the center of the main city, the high concentration of energy triggered a series of explosions.

Amidst the continuous explosions, a tall figure was ejected from the blast and landed heavily on the ground.

"Cough cough..."

The bull-horned demon looked at the energy ion stream in front of it with some fear, and its two huge bull horns on its head were completely broken off.

It almost, just a hair's breadth away, and it died in the explosion along with the Balrog and the others.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, he managed to withstand the impact thanks to his survival skills.

"I never expected humans to have this trick up their sleeve." The horned demon was incredibly grateful that it was the six demons who worked together, greatly distributing the power of the explosion at the last moment and giving it a chance to survive.

"All dead."

The bull-horned demon looked around and tried to clench its fist, but half of its hooves had already been destroyed and could not be restored in time.

If it were just a simple trap, it wouldn't have caused them so much damage.

Because in the end they all realized what was happening, but what the demons didn't expect was that these humans would actually disregard everything and choose to perish together with them.

In the instant the explosion occurred, humanity did not choose to survive. Instead, they tried their best to preserve everything, withstanding the most intense attack, which directly resulted in the demons being unable to escape.

Gulu gulu!

At that moment, black bubbles suddenly emerged from the shadow of the bull-horned demon, and the shadow demon emerged from them, looking weak.

"General Niu!"

The Shadow Demon's tone revealed deep exhaustion, clearly indicating that he had paid a considerable price to survive.

"There's still one alive. It seems our losses aren't that great after all," the horned demon taunted.

It had just prepared for total annihilation, so the existence of another surviving high-ranking demon was naturally something to be happy about.

"Although many have died, your deaths were not without value."

The bull-horned demon surveyed its surroundings. The four ancestors of the human side were all dead, which not only cost the lives of four high-ranking demons, but also brought the entire surrounding demon army into its attack range.

Clearly, the ancestors of humankind had informed their people in advance to stay away from the battlefield as much as possible.

The demons didn't care; their subordinates were dead, so be it.

Even with so many deaths, it's still within the acceptable range for the Bull-Horned Demon, and it even saves it a lot of trouble.

Then, the horned demon murmured demonic words, and the battlefield, which was originally filled with terrifying energy, instantly became filled with an eerie atmosphere.

A massive army of demons and countless lives, including high-ranking demons and gold-level professionals—two opposing yet incredibly compatible forces were now completely intertwined.

Although the professionals were fighting to protect themselves, their actions amounted to actual killing and destruction.

This is what makes the Abyss so invincible: when you resist the Abyss, you are also strengthening its power, leaving you with no choice but to accept the consequences.

An eerie atmosphere emerged, as if the shadow of another world had enveloped the entire battlefield, and endless murmurs echoed in everyone's ears.

The remaining demons cheered, their spirits soaring as if they were on drugs.

Although demons are highly adaptable to different environments, the abyss is still the most suitable place for them to unleash their full power.

The professionals present felt suffocated, as if they had been abandoned by the world.

Even though the Abyss Rift had appeared in Blackwater City before, it never seemed to have come this close to the Abyss World.

Using the destruction and carnage on the battlefield, the horned demon once again fulfilled its duty, summoning the abyss lord to descend.

Without the Abyss Lord as a backer, coming to the main world is indeed a bit dangerous. Such a huge demon army almost crashed and burned in this small place.

However, if there were a lord of the abyss, it would be much easier to unleash a demonic calamity in this remote region. Bullying the weak is also an instinct of demons.

Moreover, whether to fight or retreat will be entirely in the hands of the demons.

The abyss was approaching, and its almost world-altering power made the nearby professionals feel breathless.

And in the shadows of this world, there is another being who seems to be the ruler of the world, who has also revealed his power.

In an instant, the world changed color, and a new world was opened up between the main world and the abyss world.

"Demon Heaven! Demon Heaven!"

The demon army roared enthusiastically to the sky, welcoming the arrival of their master.

A gaze descended from the Demon Heaven, seemingly watching the entire battlefield.

"We cannot... allow the demon lord to descend."

Captain Lei watched this scene with gritted teeth. Once the Abyss Lord descended, all the professionals would die, and they wouldn't even be able to escape.

Not only Blackwater City, but this remote area will also become a paradise for demons.

Not only for himself, but also for the lives around him, Captain Lei stepped forward once again and came before the two high-ranking demons.

"A mere Silver-rank!"

The horned demons looked disdainful; even though they were both severely injured, they were not something a mere silver-level being could threaten.

Then the horned demon looked at Captain Lei's face and suddenly realized, "So it was you. You escaped from me last time, and this time you came looking for me."

"If you're prepared to trade your own life for human lives, I might spare some humans if you cooperate obediently," the horned demon mocked.

Of course, that being said, the horned demon doesn't intend to keep its promise either. Giving hope first and then destroying it again is also a very suitable cooking agent.

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing this, Captain Lei burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face, and sneered, "You think you're worthy?"

"However, it would be worth it to exchange my life for yours."

No sooner had Captain Lei finished speaking than a shrill roar suddenly rang out, causing the horned demon and the shadow demon to change color instantly.

Then, the strange monster that the Tai family patriarch had transformed into chased after them from behind, bringing everyone present into its attack range.

"I actually forgot about it." The horned demon suddenly realized he had miscalculated.

Although the Tai family patriarch, who has been reduced to a monster, has completely lost his mind, it does not mean that his strength has weakened. He still has the combat power of a gold-level expert, and is even stronger than in his original state.
