929 Demonic Stampede Part 2 (2/2)
When they were 800 yards away, the grade-7 sorcerer cast an ice shield on the grand swordmaster before flying into the sky and stopping 200 yards away.
The sorcerer was confident of stopping ordinary crossbow arrows from a distance of 200 yards. Since the enemy consisted only of foot soldiers, without any big equipment, the sorcerer was not too concerned about them. He only observed Nailisi carefully, who was in her devil-form with a pair of gigantic wings.
He did not wish to fight that monster. He gripped his magic staff tightly, ready to fight if necessary. The magic staff could store a spell, so in addition to another spell that he could cast instantly, it would be a grade-8 spell followed by a grade-7 spell.
Nailisi turned around and charged towards the grand swordmaster. She spread her wings, which created a powerful air current. The 24 ancient warriors, who had been keeping themselves hidden within the army, followed Nailisi. No one else would be able to command them around.
It was a black metal grandmaster in peak condition who was leading the army. He was wielding a gigantic horse-killing sword, which was covered with magic patterns.
Nailisi charged straight at him with her long lance aimed towards his chest. The tip of her long lance was so huge that if her attack succeeded, the black metal grand swordmaster's entire chest would be caved in.
He decided to fly up into the sky. He twisted and contorted his body in mid-air before slashing at Nailisi's long lance with his horse-killing sword. When the two weapons clashed, there was a loud sound and a faint mark appeared on Nailisi's long lance.
Both of them were taken aback. The black metal grand swordmaster had cut apart countless weapons in his lifetime, even the sword aura of a silver grand swordmaster would not be able to block his magic weapon. There was merely a faint mark on the monster's long lance though.
Nailisi was even more shocked. Although the long lance was not infused with any magic, it was still something refined by the Grandmaster and was made with materials that were harder than crystallized metals. If it had been her original long lance, it might already have been cut in half by the grand swordmaster's sword!
Many thoughts crossed Nailisi's mind, but she did not hesitate and attacked with her long lance. The black metal grand swordmaster's hands became numb and his entire ice shield began to shatter.
The grade-7 sorcerer was powerful too, since the ice shield that he cast was able to transform so that the it helped to take the blow for the black metal grand swordmaster.
The grand swordmaster was also able to react quickly by turning sideways and attacking again.
The long lance was 30 yards long, which was a distance the black metal grand swordmaster could cover in a leap. Nailisi knew that if the black metal grand swordmaster got close enough to her, her armor would not be able to block off that mysterious horse-killing sword. She put away her blood soul tower and took out her Sword of Rules to block off the grand swordmaster's strike.
The Sword of Rules was unharmed. It was a pity that Nailisi's swordsmanship was not as good as the grand swordmaster's. Both of them exchanged a few blows as the black metal grand swordmaster deflected Nailisi's blow and struck with his gigantic horse-killing sword. As Nailisi was also looking out for the sorcerer that was still in the sky, her hands relaxed and barely managed to block off the horse-killing sword.
Nailisi wished she had a sorcerer by her side; she would have been able to kill the grand swordmaster anytime if she did. The grade-7 sorcerer in the sky was very experienced in combat. He made no attempt to cast any spells, and instead, only continued to stare at the battle between Nailisi and the grand swordmaster.
Nailisi thought about it and suddenly took a few steps backwards and took out her gigantic shield. The materials that the shield was made of were slightly poorer than that of the long lance, but when the black metal grand swordmaster hacked it with his sword, it was stuck in the shield.
Nailisi pushed the shield forward and the black metal grand swordmaster was pressed onto the ground. The soil here was soft, so the grand swordmaster was not crushed. Nevertheless, he was still completely immobilized by the gigantic shield.
Nailisi stood up and leapt towards the sorcerer in the sky.
The sorcerer laughed coldly. A powerful light shone from the magic staff in his hands as he cast a grade-8 spell. Nailisi only saw darkness. It was as if the distance between her and the sorcerer had been stretched infinitely. The outline of the sorcerer became more and more blurry, until it eventually vanished.
Poor demon!
When the sorcerer saw the demon being controlled by his dark-element spell, he prepared to unleash several more spells. His hands gesticulated wildly as powerful fire-element ripples covered a space of 200 square yards. Between him and Nailisi, a gigantic net of fire was weaved, and it covered Nailisi.
The color of the fire net was also black. The flames danced so violently that the surrounding space began to tremble. That was an extremely rare grade-7 spell, Purgatory Web. The temperature of the black flames was so high that even a grade-9 shield would not be able to withstand it. The sorcerer had managed to kill powerful grade-9 opponents with those two techniques before.
”Oh, beautiful demon, your horns belong to me now!”
The sorcerer's eyes flicked with excitement. He never imagined that he would be able to get his hands on a gigantic demon like that before he advanced to grade-8. On top of that, there was also a pair of excellent horns on the demon.
With the horns, he would be able to refine powerful magic equipment. He would be the most powerful grade-8 sorcerer!
