Chapter 445 Trap
Plop!
With a slight sound, the shadow disguise mask slowly sank into the magma and was swallowed by the heat, but there was no sign of melting.
The artifact symbolizes the authority of the gods, and it is naturally impossible to be easily destroyed.
In the crater, the demon lord is still sleeping.
Enzo's lips slightly raised. The plan is going very smoothly. With a thought, he turned himself into a shadow and hid himself, and at the same time turned his vision to a shadow crow.
"There!" Enzo's eyes flashed.
Below, on the barren land swept by yellow sand, shadows like tides are surging rapidly, and in a moment they came to the surroundings of the floating islands.
"Huh! Hiding?"
At the original place, the shadow god Lyles showed his figure, a sneer appeared on his face, and said: "No matter where you are, the mark of the shadow disguise can never be removed!"
After that, Lyles turned into a shadow and stepped onto the floating islands.
"Very good, I've taken the bait!"
In a hidden corner, Enzo's lips curled up. Since the Shadow God Lyles had followed the mark on the shadow disguise, he had undoubtedly entered Enzo's plan.
Boom!
When the Shadow God stepped onto the periphery of the floating islands, a violent noise suddenly came from the largest crater on the main island, and the Balor Flame Demon bathed in magma seemed to feel something.
As a demon lord of the fourth-order life form, even in a dormant state, the Balor Flame Demon still maintained absolute control over the floating islands.
Perhaps Enzo's arrival could not wake him up, but when a god of the same level stepped into the floating island, the Balor Flame Demon could not fail to feel threatened.
That is why Enzo had such a plan.
Use the hatred between the demon lord and the gods to deal with two enemies at the same time, and finally get all the benefits.
However, there is only one flaw in this plan.
That is, when the Shadow God came to the main island and found that his own artifact was in the volcano where the demon lord was sleeping, he would definitely understand that he had fallen into Enzo's trap.
And then, how would Lyles react?
While Enzo was thinking, in the vision of Shadow Crow, the God of Shadow was approaching the main island.
The next moment, a violent sound was heard.
In the crater, rolling heat waves spread in all directions. After feeling the threat, the sleeping Balor Flame Demon slowly woke up and roared furiously.
"Who is it? Stepping into my territory!"
The demon lord, who looked like a lava giant, stood up from the crater, raised his thick arms, and the magma flowed to the ground like blood.
Around, the little Flame Demons and the Blade Flame Demons, after noticing the revival of the lord, all fled away from this area in fear.
Demons are chaotic and brutal creatures. In their concept, there is not much emotion. Even demons of the same race are just food and slaves for the demon lord.
Huh!
The Balrog stood up, with the ferocious flesh wings behind him spread out, and the bones were clearly visible. He twisted his huge head and looked around, and suddenly reached out to grab a sharp blade Balrog.
"Lord, no!!"
Amid the terrified scream of the sharp blade Balrog, the demon lord used his palm to easily crush it into meat paste, and the blood mixed with the minced meat was thrown directly into his mouth, making a creepy chewing sound.
The powerful creature stepped into the territory, awakening the threatened demon lord. In order to face the next battle, the Balrog must recover as soon as possible.
Therefore, the little Balrog and the sharp blade Balrog on the floating island became the best food.
The Balrog roared.
Then, he opened his bloody mouth, and the invisible attraction was like a whirlpool. In the surrounding area, all the little Balrogs screamed and flew into the huge mouth, becoming the food for the Balrog to restore his strength.
"As expected of a demon lord known for chaos and brutality!" In the corner, Enzo's eyes flashed, and he felt repulsed by the behavior of the Balor Flame Demon.
One of the reasons why intelligent creatures are called civilizations is that they have systems and will not be easily destroyed.
There are also many evil people among humans, and even fallen wizards who slaughter mortals, but few people will eat their own kind.
At this time, the Balor Flame Demon, who had swallowed a large number of small Flame Demons, suddenly stopped moving, raised his head and looked forward.
Not far away, a shadow floated.
Like some kind of viscous liquid, the shadow twisted into a human form, and Lyles appeared in the original place, looking around.
"Balor Flame Demon!?"
When Lyles saw the Balor Flame Demon standing on the volcano, his pupils shrank and his face instantly darkened.
"Damn wizard!"
Lyles gritted his teeth. He could feel the artifact shadow disguise, in the crater where the Balor Flame Demon was, but Enzo's figure could not be seen here.
Obviously, all this was the wizard's plan!
He had thrown the shadow disguise into the crater and used it to lure himself here, hoping to provoke a war between himself and the Balor Flame Demon.
In the multiverse, wizard civilization has always been known for its wisdom, but in the eyes of the gods, this so-called wisdom is also equivalent to trickery and cunning!
"Huh! The taste of the gods!"
The huge Balor Flame Demon stood in the crater, looking down at Lyles from a high position, and made a low roar.
"Dare to step into my territory, do you want to provoke a war?"
Lyles' heart moved.
The Abyss Demons are known for their chaos, but after reaching the level of Demon Lords, they also have a certain degree of self-control. The Balor Flame Demon in front of him did not attack him the first time he saw him, which means that this is a Demon Lord who can communicate.
"Hello, powerful Lord of the Abyss."
Layers' eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I did not intend to step into your territory, but was lured by a cunning wizard. Please forgive me if I have offended you!"
Two flames spewed out of the Balor Flame Demon's nose.
"If that's the case, then get out! Gods are not welcome in my territory!" Balor Flame Demon roared.
Lyles frowned, suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, and said, "Since the Lord of the Abyss does not want others to enter the territory, I will leave immediately."
"But before that, I have something that fell here. Please allow me to take it back! As long as you don't object, I can leave immediately!"
After realizing that he had fallen into Enzo's trap, Lyles decided to at least take back the shadow disguise and restore his strength to the best state.
"No! Leave immediately!"
The Balor Flame Demon shook his head and refused, "My territory does not welcome gods. If you don't want to provoke a war, you must leave here immediately!"
Lyles' eyes turned cold and his face darkened.
The tide-like shadows under his feet surged up, affecting the surrounding environment. Taking back his own artifact was Lyles' bottom line. If the Balor Flame Demon could not agree to this, then Lyles could only go to war with the other party anyway.
After all, the artifact is Lyles' authority!
When the shadow disguise was in Enzo's hands, Lyles was confident that he could take it back at any time, but if it fell into the hands of Balor, it would be difficult to take it back.
"Lord of the Abyss, are you determined not to return my things?" Lyles said in a cold tone, issuing a final ultimatum.
The Abyss Demons have always been known for their violence. They will only compromise unless they face an absolutely strong person, at least one level higher than themselves.
As for the same-level existence, it is almost impossible to make compromises.
Because of his familiarity with the Abyss Demons, Lyles no longer has much hope in his heart. He made up his mind to take back the shadow disguise and leave immediately.
However, at this time, Balor's reaction was a little unexpected by Lyles.
After feeling the shadow power released by Lyles, Balor hesitated for a moment, and then nodded reluctantly.
"Okay, you can take your own things, but you must leave immediately afterwards, and you can't stay in my territory for a second!" Balor made the final compromise.
In the corner, Enzo frowned slightly.
He was also very surprised by the reaction of the Balro Flame Demon. Most demon creatures are difficult to communicate with. It is hard to imagine that the Balro Flame Demon, as a lord, would compromise with the God of Shadow.
"Is it because of the injury?"
Enzo's eyes flashed, and his eyes looked at the hideous wound on the chest of the Balro Flame Demon.
Not far away, Lyles was also stunned.
Then, he sneered in his heart. It seems that these so-called abyss demons are not as strong as imagined. When facing the gods, they will also make some compromises.
However, Lyles remained calm on the surface.
He nodded slightly and said in a light voice: "Thank you, Lord of the Abyss. I can promise that I will leave immediately after taking back my things."
"Then hurry up!" The Balro Flame Demon waved his hand impatiently.
Lyles stopped talking. After sensing the specific location of the shadow disguise, he turned into a shadow and appeared on the edge of the crater.
In the corner, Enzo frowned.
If he could not provoke a war between Balro Flame Demon and the God of Shadow, then for him, it would undoubtedly mean the failure of the plan. Not only would he lose a divine weapon in vain, but the God of Shadow would also recover his strength.
"No, we can't just let it go like this!" Enzo made up his mind and planned to provoke a conflict between Balro Flame Demon and the God of Shadow even if he took some risks.
But at this moment.
At the edge of the crater, Lyles felt the specific location of the shadow disguise and was about to take it away when a strange smile suddenly appeared on Balro Flame Demon's face.
The next moment, the volcano erupted in vain!
The scorching magma rushed into the sky, and the heat waves that were enough to burn people rolled in. Then, streams of magma fell from the sky like meteors.
"Damn it! You!!"
Lyles was startled and suddenly found that he was surrounded by flames. He hurriedly wanted to turn into a shadow and leave the place.
However, at this time, Balro Flame Demon roared again, raised his arm, holding a thick giant stick, and swung it fiercely at the God of Shadow.
Bang!
Lyles was caught off guard and flew out after being hit by the demon's giant stick. The shadow power condensed around him was broken and showed signs of dissipation.
"Damn it! You despicable demon!"
Lyles barely managed to stabilize his figure and let out an angry roar.
"Idiot! Do you think I will compromise?"
The Balor Flame Demon sneered, and then suddenly jumped out of the crater, making a deafening roar that shook the entire floating island.
In an instant, all the Flame Demon creatures in the entire floating archipelago were summoned by the lord and gathered towards this area.
"Shadow God Realm!"
Lyles's face changed. Seeing the Balor Flame Demon's murderous intention towards him, he immediately launched the Shadow God Realm, intending to pull the enemy into his home court.
Unfortunately, the Balor Flame Demon would not easily go up.
The demon lord swung the giant stick in his hand, disrupting the surrounding shadows, and then roared, the volcano behind him erupted again, and a stream of magma turned into a fire dragon and attacked the God of Shadow.
Bang!
The magma fire dragon hit Lyles, but it turned into a shadow and shattered. It turned out that it was just a fake body. The real body of the God of Shadow appeared in the air, and a round shadow appeared in front of him.
"Go to hell! Despicable demon!"
Lyles gritted his teeth. At this time, he could see that from the beginning, the Balor Flame Demon did not compromise, but was preparing to attack him.
It was just that Lyles had a too stereotyped impression of the abyss demons, thinking that only demons were good at tricks, and demons were all crazy and stupid.
In the sky, the elliptical shadow turned into a mirror.
One by one, the shadow arrows shot out like raindrops towards the bottom, and the entire floating island was covered in the attack range. One by one, the little Flame Demons were pierced by the shadow arrows.
Roar!
Balro roared and swung his giant stick, knocking away the shadow arrows around him, but there were too many shadow arrows, and many of them fell on Balro's body.
With skin harder than steel, the shadow arrows could not penetrate his flesh and blood, but they turned into invisible divine power and corroded Balro.
"Hmph! Idiot!" Lyles sneered.
After resisting for a while, Balro also noticed something unusual. His huge size made him invincible in close combat, but now he became a target of the God of Shadows.
After seeing this, Balro immediately took action.
His huge body shrank quickly and soon became human size, but his momentum did not weaken at all. The ferocious wings behind him vibrated, and the airflow blew away the shadow arrows that attacked from all around.
Then, Balro roared.
The strong sound wave shattered the shadow mirror in the air, and even Lyles behind him groaned, stabilized his body, waved his hand and raised another huge wave of shadow, surging towards the Balor Flame Demon that had turned into a humanoid.
Since the Balor Flame Demon had shrunk, the range attack obviously lost its meaning.
The small Flame Demons and the Blade Flame Demons on the surrounding floating islands, under the summons of the Demon Lord, gathered into a demon army and gathered towards Lyles, but for this kind of war at the level of fourth-order life forms, the role of cannon fodder was very weak, even to the point of being negligible. The God of Shadows just waved his hand casually and killed a large number of small Flame Demons.
