Chapter 840: Fighting the Demon God Emperor (II) (2/2)

In terms of overall strength, Chen Ying’er might not have been as great as Cai’er, but she was extremely close. The advantage that summoners possessed went without saying.

In individual battles, summoners required time to perform summoners, so they did not possess a particularly large advantage. However, on the battlefield, she would obviously have enough time to unleash her full strength under the protection of many companions. As the Saint Spiritual Girl chosen by the Beast God, she demonstrated her extraordinary abilities.

Lin Xin’s opponent was the demon god who ranked ninth, the Angel Demon God Paimon. Paimon flapped his six black wings as he fought against Lin Xin. The clash was completely based on magic.

If he was just a regular fire mage, he definitely would suffer at the hands of this demon mage of darkness. However, Lin Xin used the Heart of Fire, so his element was on the same level as his opponent. Coupled with the boost from his two immortal grade equipment and his personal domain techniques, he matched the Angel Demon God evenly. However, Paimon did not seem to be using his full strength. At least, he had yet to use the demon god transformation.

Sima Xian’s opponent was the tenth demon god Buer, who was known as the Lightning Demon God. He seemed to be half-human, half-praying mantis. He was completely dark green and seemed a little like a shrunken green Dual Bladed Demon. His attacks were extremely fierce and fast as lightning. Sima Xian was barely able to maneuver about against him using the size of the Gigantic Ball of Lightning, but he had completely lost the upper hand. If it were not for the power of his domain and the might of the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder, he really would have struggled against the demon god.

Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang’s situations were slightly better. They were both divine knights. After Long Haochen had drawn the Demon God Emperor away, the five divine knights all entered the battlefield. Aside from Long Xingyu who fought against Amon, the other divine knights fought demon gods beyond the fifteenth rank, so it was much easier for them.

Cai’er faced against three demon gods alone. Under the support of the twelve holy guards, she was actually able to claim the upperhand somewhat.

The three demon gods surrounded by her were the twelfth demon god, the Demon God of Emotion Sytry, the thirteenth demon god, the Sound Demon God Beleth and the fifteenth demon god, the Snake Spear Demon God Eligos.

The reason why she had chosen these three demon gods was because the Demon God of Emotions Sytry and the Sound Demon God Beleth were both skilled in large scale attacks, boosts and jinxes. If they were allowed to act freely, they would definitely make the entire situation worse. As for the Snake Spear Demon God Eligos, he was extremely powerful and skilled in using snake venom. Fighting all three at once, Cai’er actually managed to suppress the demon gods to a point where they could not divert their attention elsewhere under the support of the twelve holy guards, the Tower of Eternity and the Sickle of the God of Death. The Snake Spear Demon God had even used his demon god transformation. Although Sytry and Beleth held back, they were clearly waiting for a good opportunity to use it.

Overall, the Bright Glimmer of Hope was slightly weaker than the demon gods they faced, but the difference was not particularly large. Coupled with how most of the demon gods were not using their full strength, they could maintain a balance.

It was nothing strange that the demon gods did not use their full strength. This was a battlefield, not individual battles. To these high-ranking demons, protecting their own lives mattered more than killing their opponents. While the demons did possess an advantage in overall strength, they were forced to watch out for the magic cannons that constantly blasted out with light, so they obviously needed to hold back.

The Eternal Heroes played a great role on the battlefield as well. Over thirty domain wielding powerhouses had basically stopped a third of the demons’ forces. Apart from the Bright Glimmer of Hope and Long Xingyu, the other demon gods were stopped by them, allowing the divine knights to free up and deal with the Devil Dragon squads.

Killing demon gods was difficult, but dealing with the other demons was much easier. With the addition of the Eternal Heroes, the demons still outnumbered the humans in terms of powerhouses, but the humans had an advantage in terms of quality.

However, no matter how intense the battle became, both sides would constantly gaze up. The battle between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor would be the most important factor that controlled the entire battlefield.

The demons were all waiting for the Demon God Emperor to kill Long Haochen and return. Once that happened, the humans would not be able to put up much resistance. While the powerhouses of the Temple Union were not hoping for Long Haochen to defeat the Demon God Emperor, they did hope he could stop the Demon God Emperor. With the might of the magic cannons, the more drawn out the battle became, the greater role these powerful weapons would play. They were not particularly effective against ninth step powerhouses, but they were more than enough to deal with the eighth step demons. The demon cannons powered by demon god crowns in particular possessed unmatched might. Their constant firing added quite a lot of pressure to the demons.

Besides Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor’s battle, the most eye-catching battlefield was obviously where the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God resided. As the demon gods that ranked second and third, their strength was evident.

However, their opponents were not weak. As leaders of the Eternal Heroes and the first temple heads, Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao’s strength went without saying, and they possessed rich battle experience as well. This was why they were evenly matched against the two demon gods.

Casualties and injuries constantly appeared, but it primarily appeared among the seventh or eighth step powerhouses. In just a short while, over a dozen of the one hundred and eight Mythril Foundation Knights had died. The Mage Temple and Assassin Temple had lost many powerhouses as well.
