Chapter 569: The Demon God of Deep Vision’s Parasitic Body (III) (2/2)
Out of fear for his comrades’ worry, he couldn’t tarry any longer. Bringing Crocell’s corpse along, the Eternal Melody flickered with golden light.
Southeastern Fort.
At this moment, the atmosphere in this one of the Six Great Forts was visibly somewhat strange.
The demon armies already retreated, only leaving outside the fortress a large amount of corpses, a lot were those of humans, but mostly they were fromdemons.
Like in the previous battles, the Southeastern Fort should at that time sweep through the battlefield. But today was not the same: the sky was already dark, but the fort was brightly lit. They had enough forces prepared for that, but didn’t show the intention of sweeping through the battlefields.
The demons’ circumstances afar off were also quite delicate. Their army was already withdrawn, but the eight demon god pillars didn’t move locations. Still twinkling brilliantly, the group of seven demon gods under Paimon’s lead was sticking close to their own pillars, looking at the Southeastern Fort from afar.
The two parties were standing opposite from afar, no one showing the intention of withdrawing.
This scene followed because of the joint disappearance of both Long Haochen and the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell.
At that time, when Crocell had activated Clear Vision’s Godly Pull on Long Haochen, the Warrior Temple’s Head Qiu Yonghao became aware of the bad situation and immediately launched a full force attack from the Temple’s powerhouses at the demons.
Qiu Yonghao already guessed Long Haochen’s identity, and couldn’t help but strike with full force. In case Clear Vision’s Godly Pull succeeded, Long Haochen would be immediately surrounded by the eight demon gods, which was almost a route of certain death.
But when he led the Warrior Temple’s powerhouses to meet the seven demon gods head on, he discovered with shock that Crocell had disappeared from their ranks. Making the association with the light from Clear Vision’s Godly Pull that previously came to sight, Qiu Yonghao was immediately confused, because Paimon also looked to be at a loss.
Therefore, as if the two sides had come to an agreement, the demons withdrew their armies, and Qiu Yonghao led the Warrior Temple’s powerhouses back into the fort, immediately inquiring of Wang Yuanyuan’s group.
They would obviously not tell him about the Tower of Eternity, only expressing that Long Haochen had a powerful teleporting equipment, which resonated strangely with Clear Vision’s Godly Pull, giving birth to that unexpected scene. The details were omitted.
Because of the link through the Soul Binding Chains, Wang Yuanyuan and the others sensed that Long Haochen was still in safety at the current time. But he was very possibly battling the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell. That’s the forty-ninth ranked demon god, so they were all in great states of impatience! Fortunately the vitality sharing didn’t keep persisting, so they could only wait in anxiety.
An unexpected turn of events was undeterminable. After Qiu Yonghao reflected carefully, he naturally wouldn’t retreat like that. Han Yu only called that Golden Foundation Knight Provisional Saint Knight Head’ and didn’t mention Long Haochen’s name, but the efficient Qiu Yonghao became even more certain of his guess.
The demon gods were the same. Crocell had disappeared alongside the enemy knight, and as the Southeastern Fort was not shrouded in darkness, they could watch even more clearly than the humans. Also, they could only wait without any information on the situation.
Time passed minute after minute. Paimon occasionally turned his head toward Paimon’s demon god pillar, only to see it flicker without pause, in total stimulation.
This meant that Crocell was fighting, and in a place where the demon god pillar’s force couldn’t be borrowed. As long as the demon god pillar was still lit, Crocell was surely still alive.
The Angel Demon God Paimon and Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell had very good relationships. And in particular, he was the one who instructed him to use Clear Vision’s Godly Pull. Extremely anxious, he knew that Crocell’s fighting prowess wasn’t much, but he valued very importantly his special ability. With the assistance from Crocell’s Clear Vision Technique, they could be saved from much effort be it regarding the deployment of their army or discovering enemies’ surprise attacks.
As the two sides’ became more and more anxious as they kept waiting, waiting for the confirmation that their own side is alright, a change happened.
The flashes of the demon god pillar of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell suddenly accelerated, at a violent frequency that attracted both parties’ attention.
Qiu Yonghao opened his eyes wide. What he feared the most was to see Crocell return safely, Long Haochen having died in combat. Or maybe that Crocell would appear alongside Long Haochen on the demon side. So he already transmitted to the powerhouses from the Warrior Temple the order of being prepared at anytime for another rush.
Paimon was also astonished. His thoughts were exactly the opposite as Qiu Yonghao. The severe fluctuations of the demon god pillar proved that Crocell was having a tough battle. But as it was happening in another space, he had no way to help.
The demon and human atmospheres became very strained, and right at that time, the demon god pillar of the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell suddenly lit up with full brilliance, a gaudy light that could be perceived clearly even from the Southeastern Fort. The other seven demon god pillars immediately hid behind their own brilliances.
“That’s...”
Right when Qiu Yonghao was prepared to go at anytime, that suddenly flashing demon god pillar went extinct instantly and without warning. All light disappeared from it: it seemed to have become a totally ordinary stela.
