Chapter 1020 - Evil Bone Demon (2/2)
With the death of the Goat-Horned Demon Overlord, the Lesser Demon Overlords were no longer being coordinated.
The assault formation they originally were using had turned into chaotic battles. The Blood Fang Beastmen and the humans suddenly held the advantage, and they kept eliminating more of the Lesser Demon Overlords.
And with Dedale, the Great Tribal Chief, and the Great Shaman having their hands free, it took less than three minutes for all the Demons to be disposed of.
Everyone had gone all-out during this battle. But as the fighting died down, everyone solemnly looked at the black smoke continuously churning within the canyon.
Lin Yun was completing the last adjustments and calculations when he suddenly frowned at the black smoke.
“The last modification is in the center of the core area…”
As Lin Yun’s words echoed, the black smoke covering the area suddenly had fierce changes. A wisp of terrifying pressure swept over like a shockwave.
The sky instantly turned dark, as if a terrifying existence had suddenly appeared. Even the sun was hidden.
Gales suddenly rose as boundless Abyssal Power surged. But the mana that was giving a kind of explosive feeling frantically withdrew.
In less than a second, a huge, two-hundred-meter-tall Demon appeared in the center of the canyon.
That Demon had three thick horns spiralling from its head, and black flames were burning in its eyes. Its entire body had thick and bloody bony outgrowths extending from its joints. Those pitch-black outgrowths were covered in numerous strange magic patterns, and there were smoke-like flames at their tips.
Its body didn’t seem to have flesh. There was only a layer of black skin wrapped around its bones. It was extremely thin when compared to other Demons, and its entire skeleton could be clearly seen.
But the appearance of that Demon couldn’t help but alarm the Great Tribal Chief.
“Evil Bone Demon! The Black Iron Overlord!”
Lin Yun, who had just finished debugging and completed his calculations, turned solemn.
Although he had expected a more powerful Demon Overlord to appear, he hadn’t expected it to be a Black Iron Overlord comparable to a 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouse!
Within Demons, ordinary Overlords didn’t have titles, and they had fighting strength comparable to a 1st Rank Heaven Mage. Only those that had truly grasped Extraordinary Power, Demon Overlords comparable to 2nd Rank Heaven powerhouses, could be qualified to become Black Iron Overlords.
There was a huge gap between every rank of the Heaven Realm. It was even bigger than the gap between the 9th Rank of the Archmage realm and the 1st Rank of the Heaven realm.
In the Abyss, the difference in status between every Overlord was huge. A Demon could only surrender to another Demon with a higher rank.
And the only way to alter this gap in ranks was through the power of one’s bloodline.
There were seventy-two kinds of Demonic Bloodlines. Even an ordinary Overlord of one of the ten golden bloodlines was stronger than a Goat-Horned Black Iron Overlord.
What felt troublesome wasn’t that the Demon before them was a Black Iron Overlord, but that it was a terrifying existence. Evil Bone Demons were ranked 4th among the silver bloodlines!
Purely in terms of bloodline, the Evil Bone Demons ranked 14th among the 72 Demon Races!
An Evil Bone Black Iron Overlord could kill the previous three Overlords by itself…
The Demon Overlord slowly left the canyon. Black flames were burning within its eyes as it looked at the people outside the canyon with malice, as if they were just food waiting to be eaten.
Everyone started to sweat. Evil Bone Demons were innately cruel. Because of their bloodline, they had almost no flesh and had a stronger desire to eat. Apart from Evil Demon Races, they would eat anything. Even other Demons could be their food.
The Evil Bone Demon slowly left the canyon, but it ignored the humans and the Beastmen as it casually grabbed that Horned Demon’s corpse. Its maw suddenly became a few times bigger, and it swallowed half of the Horned Demon in an instant, devouring it cleanly in two bites.
It then picked up that burnt Goat-Horned Demon Overlord’s corpse and also wolfed it down in two bites. The corpses of the Lesser Demon Overlords were finished off in one bite each.
Seeing this scene, everyone sweated even more profusely. Dedale couldn’t bear with it and was about to attack when Lin Yun suddenly started talking.
“Don’t move! Let him eat! That Evil Bone Demon seems to have been starving for a long time. These guys are extremely gluttonous, especially those that have been starving for a while. As long as we just watch, it won’t stop until it finishes eating.
“But it’ll go crazy if you interrupt his meal, and it will burst with even more power than usual.”
