Chapter 253 The Desperate Devil
Time goes back to the eve of the chaos before the dragon appeared.
Linxia Town, this once peaceful and tranquil borderland, has now become an abyss of despair and fear.
The afterglow of the lonely moon was swallowed by the thick haze, replaced by a blazing fire.
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, surrounded by a sea of fire. Under the light of the fire, the twisted faces were full of fear and despair.
And in the cracks of the sky, the figure of the devil was looming.
Their huge wings flapped in the void, and their eyes flashed with greed and bloodthirstiness.
Like a judge high above, looking down at this land that was about to become their plaything.
"Ah!"
Countless people screamed and wailed.
"No, it's impossible."
"Boom!"
The deafening explosions came one after another, as if it was the most ruthless mockery between heaven and earth, and every roar was accompanied by the disappearance of life.
Behind the demon, the magic circle quietly emerged like a ghost.
Two demons of different shapes, one thin and one fat, stood in front of the array.
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 hell, and then die!"
As soon as the voice fell, the light in the magic circle was bright, and countless fireballs and ice cones poured out like raindrops, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing. Wherever they passed, all living things disappeared.
"Ahhhhh!" The screams were instantly drowned out by the roar of the explosion.
Dozens of adventurers, under this sudden attack, did not even have a chance to resist, and closed their eyes forever.
What was even more bizarre was that as life faded, 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 an irresistible force sucked the blue light into their stomachs, as if they were greedily devouring fragments of the soul.
"Ga--"
The fat demon burped with satisfaction, stroking his round belly, his eyes flashing with unsatisfied light.
However, when its eyes turned to the distance, the back of the demon in a suit and tie, walking hurriedly, a touch of greed appeared again.
"If I can get that receptor..."
It muttered to itself, its tone full of desire for unknown power.
"Hey, are you crazy!"
The thin demon saw this and quickly reminded him, his eyes full of warnings.
"That's the prey that the boss has set his eyes on. How dare you covet it?"
The fat demon heard this, and the greed on his face instantly subsided, 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 transgression may bring disaster.
"Alas-"
This heavy sigh overflowed from the greasy corners of the fat demon'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 time, along with this angry shout, the sky seemed to be torn apart.
A dazzling blue rocket arrow cut through the sky, carrying a breath of destruction, accurately shot at the giant demon.
The air was filled with tension and expectation, and everyone's breathing stagnated.
Boom!
A deafening explosion sounded, and the scorching blue flames were like blooming lotuses, instantly illuminating the entire sky, dyeing everything around with an ominous blue-purple color.
"Did it succeed?"
Jasmine bit her lower lip tightly, and her beautiful face was full of worry and expectation.
However, reality is always so cruel.
When the dust settled, the flames dissipated.
Everyone was surprised to find that the two demons were still standing intact.
The whole body was tightly wrapped by a layer of transparent circular shield, as if wearing invisible armor, no matter how the outside world attacked, it could not hurt the slightest.
"How many times have you done it!"
The fat demon roared with strong impatience and anger. He waved his hand violently, and the magic power gathered into a vortex in his palm. A complex magic circle emerged and released a dazzling light.
"No matter what you do, you can't destroy my shield."
The voice of the demon was full of confidence.
"Really?"
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 quietly appearing on the battlefield at some point. He held a huge battle axe in his hand, his eyes were like torches, and he was staring coldly at the demon in front of him.
"How do you know if you don't try it?"
Rachel chuckled, stretched out her body, and pounced on the transparent shield like a cheetah.
When the giant axe was swung, it brought a sharp wind sound and chopped the shield fiercely.
Kaz!
In a flash, sparks flew everywhere, as if even the air was torn apart by this blow.
Immediately afterwards, a crisp cracking sound came, and the shield that was once thought to be indestructible actually cracked!
"Cracked!"
"Great!"
Cheers broke out in the crowd, and everyone's eyes were shining with hope.
They saw the dawn of victory, and the once unattainable dream seemed to be right in front of them.
However, at this critical moment, the fat demon attacked again.
He snorted coldly, raised his hand, and a powerful magic power attacked Rachel like a storm.
Rachel was caught off guard and was hit by this force. Her body stagnated. The whole person drew an arc in the air like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Bang!
In the dust, Rachel's figure looked so small and helpless.
This sudden change extinguished the fire of hope that the adventurers had just ignited.
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 crack disappeared without a trace, and the shield became indestructible again.
As if mocking their incompetence and stupidity, the fat demon showed a smug smile on his face.
The demon'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 toy in its hands.
"No, there is no way we can win"
"They are demons, real demons"
"We will all die"
To use the example of playing games as an analogy, it is like the little blood you wiped off with great difficulty was easily recovered by the BOSS, blood recovery?
"No, we must not be swallowed by such despair!"
"Damn it!"
Jasmine looked at the demon in the sky and cursed secretly.
"It's impossible to hit that protective shield."
"It's completely unsolvable."
"No matter what kind of magic it is, it will be blocked."
"Even physical attacks are useless"
"Hey, hey, hey, who said it's useless"
Rachel slowly climbed up from the ruins, patted the dust on her body, and showed a confident smile.
"Didn't the crack appear just now?"
"If it doesn't work once, then try twice. If it doesn't work twice, then try three times."
The magic power gushed out of Rachel's body, and then gathered in her body, circulating.
"I don't believe that I can't open that turtle shell."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Rachel's words, the fat demon sneered:
"Just you? You want it too."
Just when the fat demon was about to continue to taunt.
But he only saw a dazzling white line in the night sky cutting through the darkness, as fast as lightning, passing over its neck accurately and without error.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and all sounds stopped abruptly.
