Chapter 410 – Undead Magic (1/2)
In Heavens Scar, the originally clear sky was now shrouded by dark clouds. If one looked down from high above, they’d see a faint black fog looming over the space. The black fog drifted with the wind, like a giant beast ready to spring at any time to deal a fatal blow.
Sweeping through Heavens Scar for two days, the demon-hunting squad led by Fatty killed tens of thousands of Demon troops. Except for Fatty, everyone else had risen an average of one level. There were also casualties by negligence, whose souls Fatty kept in the Soul Sealing Cross until after they departed this place, just in case the five Demon Kings had moved the Death Altar back here.
The loss of so many troops gave the Demon race no choice but to notice and take it seriously. Several high-ranked officers were dispatched to trace Fatty’s squad. A large net was gradually weaved over the demon-hunting squad.
Watching Wheat, Inky, and Snowy trample the last Demon soldier to death, Fatty’s hands roofed his face as he looked into the distance. “They’ve caught up again. Move, quickly.”
Amidst cheerful laughter, the group tidied up, then each summoned their mount and fled far away. They had done this kind of activity plenty over these past two days, thus they did it skillfully.
Little Ice Phoenix Snowy flew in front of Fatty squeaking nonstop, eager to report the fruits of battle to him. The ever dull Inky only knew to follow them foolishly, while Wheat was lazy as usual. Shrinking to its little size, the rodent lay behind Fatty on the Violent Ox King.
The three pets had benefited greatly after Fatty reached the maximum level. Wheat and Inky were now over level 80 and each learned several new skills. Snowy was only over 50, obviously the experience it needed was much more than that of Wheat and Inky.
“Last one round before we leave. This is their base camp, we can’t gain any advantage here,” stated Fatty while playing with the little phoenix.
Several players instantly nodded in agreement. “That’s right, this kind of team is most suitable for those troops that are few in numbers and don’t have any experts, like those armies who have snuck into our country through various means.”
Xuanhuang Ancient Country had experienced the emergence of dozens of Demon armies all over its territory in one day, and this number was still increasing. Some of these armies were numerous, with a total of 100,000, while some were few with only a few thousand. They executed ambushes and raids everywhere, dealing little damage but causing great headaches. When the guilds formed demon-hunting teams, they’d be just perfect for those Demon armies.
The line of people galloped around Heavens Scar. The Demon Generals and their teams tracked them several times, but they had easily escaped without fail. One time, a Demon General had been too fast and advanced from the rest, only to be trapped in the Elemental Sword Diagram and chopped to pieces by thousands of light swords all at once.
“If anything, I’m still a Saint expert with two Divine artifacts in my hands. A Demon General actually had the guts to challenge me? He just doesn’t know how ‘death’ is spelled,” Fatty bragged. Looking at his smug face, the others felt an itch to gang up on him, but they were also aware that Fatty now had the power to solo them all, and even their whole guilds.
……
“Seems that their experts are coming.” In a grand hall not far from the Death Altar sat ten-something demons. The top seat was a demon wearing a black robe, and the five Demon Kings were right below this figure.
The demon dressed in the black robe that only revealed two eyes gave off an eerie ‘keke’ laugh. Black miasma emerged from its body and condensed into a mirror one meter wide in the center of the hall. In the mirror, every move of Fatty’s group was displayed clearly.
“The heir of the Elementalist!” Sigg cried, his eyes staring intently at Fatty in the mirror.
“Kekeke, rushing into our territory with only so few? Is this the humans’ arrogance or us demons’ shame?” The voice of the demon shrouded in black gradually grew icy. “Sigg, I’ll give you one last chance. Wipe out this group of humans, capture the heir of the Elementalist and bring him to me, and you lot shall be forgiven. Fail, and I will refine you into my guardian knights.”
“Yes, Milord,” The five Demon Kings replied in trembling voices as they stood up with sweaty faces out of fear. As the head demon waved his hand, the five immediately flew out of the hall towards where Fatty was.
“What an interesting little thing.” The demon in black took a look at Fatty in the mirror and chuckled paradoxically. The mirror created from black gas collapsed, then turned into countless black whiffs merging back into his body.
……
The five Demon Kings didn’t hide their tracks. Five figures shot over like meteors, causing a stir in the demon-hunting squad.
“It's the five Demon Kings, they’re actually all out!” Basically everyone present had taken part in the battle in Hero City and recognized the Demon Kings. They instantly panicked upon seeing all five fast approaching.
Fatty immediately opened up the Elemental Mystery Realm and shouted, “Everyone, get in!”
Having taken the squad into the mystery realm, Fatty turned to the five Demon Kings with a grin. His right foot gently stamped, and he disappeared in a blink.
