Chapter 540: Descend! Multicolored Light (II) (2/2)
Eleven twisted lights faded away in midair. Then he could faintly see that behind the six demon god pillars, the sky had abruptly started to look distorted, imbued with an incomparably sharp killing intent which immediately locked the six demon gods in place.
As if Sytry hadn’t noticed these Heroic Assassins, she just kept chanting her incantation. That materialized figure kept becoming clearer, as if a giant version of her was taking shape in this world.
The influence it had on the Exorcist Mountain Pass kept growing larger, as the eyes of the soldiers were turning red. Thanks to Cai’er’s Slaughter’s Realm, they could hold off the forbidden spell to some extent, but right now, Cai'er's forehead was already covered in sweat.
No matter how powerful a god’s chosen one is, how mighty her Scythe of the God of Death, ultimately, she hit the limits of the seventh step! If Cai’er’s cultivation had attained the ninth step, her Slaughter’s Realm could maybe have even suppressed Sytry’s forbidden spell. But this was out of her current capabilities. Keeping the realm activated was only a desperate measure: if it dissipated, the soldiers below would be even more greatly affected.
Cai’er gritted her teeth, painfully holding on. Right, because she understood the situation, she didn’t dare slack. I have to press on, to keep it lasting as far as possible.
Her eyes fixed onto Long Haochen, on the other side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ fortress. She didn’t know what he was doing, but had an unwavering faith in him. He will surely turn the situation around, for sure.
Strident sounds burst from the rear of the six demon god pillars. In midair, an immense spatial crack extending over more than three hundred meters had appeared, extending towards the Emo-demon god Sytry.
That was the act of the eleven Heroic Assassins, a joint attack with a single goal: to stop Sytry’s incantation.
She let out an expression of disdain, as the five other demon god pillars turned towards the same direction, to block the attack for her.
“Bang” An extremely terrible exploding sound was heard, and that immense crack was dispersed. Eleven figures bounced back at the same time, shot several hundreds meters away before stabilizing.
The five demon god pillars were shining with different lights, as they forcibly stopped the eleven assassins’ attacks.
Why would the Temple Alliance value Long Haochen’s ability to destroy demon god pillars so dearly? That’s because for the past six thousand years, humankind hadn’t found any method to destroy a demon god pillar.
Due to them, they had suffered who knows how many terrible losses.
The more demon gods using their pillars there are, the more formidable power they would be able to display, and the more terrifying they would appear. A perfect proof of that was the current situation: the joint defense of five demon gods was enough make eleven Heroic Assassins helpless.
“Chief, what’s to be done?” An assassin was wiping the blood leaking from his mouth, as he asked Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue’s eyes were a bit bloodshot. He knew that in these circumstances, Sytry’s forbidden spell was already unstoppable. It was totally impossible, and this was the situation he was the most unwilling to see appear.
If they were peak powerhouses belonging to the Mage Temple, maybe they could try to use the firepower from their own forbidden spells to face Sytry’s forbidden spell. But in the Temple Alliance, two Temples weren’t able to use forbidden spells much: the Assassin and Warrior Temple. In singular battles, they were more powerful, as their Spiritual Highland mastery and toughness far surpassed the Mage Temple, Spiritual Temple, and Priest Temple. But they had no way to break through the demon god pillars’ blockade.
Sheng Yue’s breathing was noticeably rapid: as the chief of the Assassin Temple, he had already predicted the worst outcomes. Giving a glance to the six demon god pillars, and gritting his teeth, he gave an order that felt extremely painful to issue.
“Kill! While they are focusing on their forbidden spells, we will slaughter their high levelled demons. I want to see whether they can kill our men before we kill theirs.”
This was already the best choice they had. If they’d only had another choice, Sheng Yue wouldn’t give such an order. As things went this way, the other ten assassins’ eyes also turned red.
This order felt extremely difficult for him to issue! His grandson Sheng Lingxin was commanding the battle inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while his great-granddaughter was giving her all to withstand the forbidden spell. In case the Emo Demon God’s forbidden spell completes, they will inevitably be the ones bearing the brunt.
“Kill!” The eleven Heroic Assassins shouted madly altogether. Under the shocked watch of the demon gods beyond the Emo Demon God, they turned the same as wild dragons, sweeping their way downwards through the demon armies.
