The Demon Tree Hand was clearly stronger when it was cast close to the roots of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. One could even use the spell to control the thick roots of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden and fling them around at the Hillmen that were trying to protect the Bronze-Fang Hillman. The roots swiftly wrapped up the Bronze-Fang Hillman before it could flee!
Shao Ru controlled the roots to drag the half-dead Bronze-Fang Hillman toward her. To her surprise, despite the injuries that the creature was suffering, the creature displayed its strong will to live by biting through the roots that were binding it. It did not give up on trying to run away!
It kept screaming to summon its comrades. A huge group of Hillmen quickly showed up. They had come recklessly to save the Bronze-Fang Hillman, even though many of them were dying to the spells from the army of Battlemages.
”These creatures are pretty loyal!” Mo Fan chuckled when he saw the Hillmen panicking, ”But the question is, is that enough to save their leader?”
The Hillmen tore and bit at the roots to clear a path to their leader. It finally freed up the Bronze-Fang Hillman a little. However, several Giant Shadow Spikes landed on it as it was planning to run away, nailing it to the spot.
Fresh blood kept pouring out from its wounds. The Bronze-Fang Hillman was almost at its limit. The Shadow Magic was incorporeal. It was amusing to see the Hillmen trying to get rid of the Giant Shadow Spikes and free the Bronze-Fang Hillman.
They might be able to tear and bite the roots, but they could not remove the Giant Shadow Spikes!
”Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellish Flames!”
Mo Fan completed another Advanced Spell. The blazing red Rose Flame appeared and swiftly turned into a huge meteorite sweeping across the sky as it descended.
Even though the Spirit-grade flame was not that strong, Hellish Flames was a second-tier Advanced Spell. Its power was still useful against the Warrior-level Hillmen. They had clustered up as they were trying to save their leader. The wide area of the Hellish Flames would burn them all to ashes!
The remaining body of the Bronze-Fang Hillman suffered greatly in the scorching heat. Its presence began to weaken as it cried out in agony from amid the flames.
The light of the flames reached a long distance away. Some of the Mages that were standing on the lower grounds were shocked when they saw the flames.
”Isnt...isn't that a Bronze-Fang Hillman? It's around four meters tall!” Chen Binbin exclaimed.
”I wonder who managed to kill a Bronze-Fang Hillman of that level!” Wang Dakuo went forward to take a closer look at the Mage.
”Why does he look so familiar?” Hu Duo pointed in the direction of the mage.
Wang Hua was wearing a twisted expression. He was the first to recognize who the man was. He was having a hard time believing that the young man possessed such remarkable strength.
Even his uncle Wang Dakuo, whom he was extremely proud of, was unlikely to take on a Bronze-Fang Hillman by himself, yet that man had done it!
”Yo, it's you guys,” Mo Fan turned around and saw Wang Hua, Wang Dakuo, and the others. He did not expect to bump into them here. It seemed like they had come with the army.
Mo Fan took a closer look and discovered that a person was missing from the group. He did not need to ask to know that the person had most likely died either when they were waiting for Wang Dakuo in the woods, or after they had come to the valley. He was quite surprised that these people actually had the guts to come into the valley and fight the Hillmen...
”Is that a Bronze-Fang Hillman?” The Commander of the army came forward. He was both shocked and confused when he saw the remains of the four-meter-tall Bronze-Fang Hillman.
The remaining Hillmen had suddenly lost their will to fight. The army was then able to break through the Hillmen's line of defense with ease, as the Hillmen were starting to flee for their lives. The Commander was initially wondering what had happened. It turned out that someone had killed the Hillmen's leader!
”The Bronze-Fang Hillman is dead. Brothers, charge!”
”The Bronze-Fang Hillman, let's kill the rest of them!”
The remaining Hillmen were like a sheet of loose sand after losing their leader. Most importantly, the morale of the human army rose as soon as the news of the Bronze-Fang Hillman's death spread among the soldiers. The soldiers suddenly became unstoppable. Even the Hunters had placed their doubts behind them and focused on killing the Hillmen!
The Rainbow-Tailed Demon Sparrows became more aggressive, too. The battle was suddenly one-sided!
”It seems like we've taken out one of the Hillmen's main leaders!” Shao Ru noted when she saw the Hillmen losing their morale.
Mo Fan taking down the Hillmen's leader had proven extremely effective. It had prevented more people from dying and secured the victory for the humans. Unfortunately, not many people were able to take out the demon creatures' leader alone like him. Shao Ru's thoughts were still filled with the astonishment of witnessing the Giant Lightning Explosion!
”Their leader is dead!”
