Chapter 319 (1/2)

”Line up the cannons… Fire!”

Explosions filled the air as many bat-like creatures filled the sky. They all came from the fog and were now trying to bring down the shields from the flying sh.i.p.s.

”Ghouls and Vampires, it must be the Lord of Blood!”

Someone from the elven race called out while defending the ship. Most of the members from the elven race that were here were proficient barrier mages. They were placed in certain strategic locations on the ship and fueling the mana shields with their magic.

The Ghouls looked somewhat like giant bats while the Vampires had a more humanoid shape and could float without the use of wings. The so-called Lord of Blood was slowly hovering in the background.

He looked like a cross between the two. His all-around shape was humanoid with giant bat-like wings attached to his back. His arms were elongated and his hands looked like giant claws. His skin was grayish-white which made him look like a living corpse.

His face was a mix of human and batlike features, when he opened his mouth a clear view of dagger-like teeth greeted anyone dumb enough to fight this being.

This was not the only monster that the heroes needed to face off against. The demon Lord of Blood wasn't the only archdemon that was here. Below him, a massive being was slowly treading towards the group of flying sh.i.p.s.

It was the Lord of Destruction and the last archdemon that still remained. Somehow two of the mighty demons had gathered here and were waiting for them all along.

This being was truly humongous, each time one of its large elongated appendages descended on the ground, massive tremors spread throughout this dark forest. It trampled everything that blocked its way.

Its appearance was more grotesque than that of the vampire-like being. The shape that this monster took was similar to that of a spider. The biggest difference were the eight legs that instead of being fully arachnid-like had large humanoid hands.

The creature looked like three massive humans fused with each other. The front consisted of just the chest part with its arms extended. It had three heads that consisted of only mouths and no eyes. The eyes were instead embedded in its strange fused torso and were constantly blinking while looking for new enemies to attack.

Above this massive creature and the Lord of Blood Leigong the Lightning Emperor was floating. He was now glaring at the vampiric lord before him, his body already covered in golden radiant holy energies that caused the lesser vampires to flee.

”I don't think you will let me through?”

”You shall not pass filthy astral being, this will be your grave. I will absorb your might and the king will descend to cover these lands in the blood of the filthy mortals!”

The demonic lord entered the monologue stage. Zhang Dong was familiar with this defect that these demons had. Thanks to this he had ample time to power up and think about a good plan of attack.

While this monster that he was facing looked to be the more speedy arial type, the one below was clearly a slow tank. With it being stuck on the ground it was safe to leave his flying army to take care of it. He had already passed on the order to engage it from afar with a kiting strategy. If everything failed the dwarves were to utilize their golems and try to stall it till he was done with this monster. The heroes were also going to help but only with range support.

After being cooped up in the elven and dwarven countries Zhang Dong hadn't had the opportunity to let loose. This overgrown vampire lord looked like the perfect sparring partner to release his frustrations and stress.

Even then he waited, the moment the monologue was over the monster charged up and attacked. It was very similar to the one the lord of pain fired off. The monster's mouth opened up and a beam of crimson energy flew forward.

Zhang Dong didn't dodge but instead extended his hand forward. His finger started glowing in blue light. A set of pentagram-like magic circles extended from the spot his finger was pointing at. There were ten circles and each one was larger than the previous.

The red beam of dark light collided with the outermost ring and shattered it into many tiny lights. It continued forward while causing all of the rings to evaporate into nothingness. When it passed the sixth one it stopped, unable to travel further before blinking out of existence.

'These magic spells are the real thing.'

This was actually one of the spells that he learned from this world. Together with his own cultivation knowledge, he was now able to utilize some of the magical skills the elves used. Due to being in this magical world, using mana attacks was more efficient than sticking to his spiritual energy-based attacks.

'They also lower the strain on the girls…'

He pointed out with his finger once again. Behind him, magical circles of similar shapes and sizes started to appear. To non-mages this wouldn't look like anything special but to the experts, this was something mind-boggling.

”Take this, mass elemental arrows!”

With a twitch of the same finger, a surge of arrows made from various elements descended on the large vampire monster. There were thousands of them, their colorful lights filled the sky and rained down on the flying archdemon.

The demonic lord covered his whole body in its giant webbed wings and surrounded himself in dark red energy. He was quick to notice that he would be unable to dodge this attack, instead, he decided to enforce his defenses and block it.

With a more stationary target, the many magic arrows had a point of focus. From rain, they turned into a flood of magical energy that descended on the encased demon. The black sphere that formed around the demon became bathed in rainbow-like light and vanished within.

'I don't think it will be that easy?'
