Chapter 391 Chaotic Warfare in the Fortress (1/2)

”Ahhhh!”

Gelk roared in anger. He defensively swung his right arm forward and in a blink of an eye, countless fireballs erupted in his face. The powerful blast forced the Demon General back desperately. He continued to hover in mid-air, clenching his teeth and staring widely at the fox-ear maiden not far away from him.

”Half-beast! Why are you helping the humans by going against the Demons!”

”This got nothing to do with you, little cutie.”

Gillian covered her mouth with her right hand like an elegant lady as she chuckled cutely. Shortly after, she flung her other arm forward and yet another wave of thousand fireballs emerged around her. She released them towards the demon in her eyes.

”Damn it!”

Facing this overwhelming aggression, even a Demon General like Gelk didn't dare to defy. He swiftly retreated, at the same time waving both hands in the air. Soon, as two evil and blasphemy symbols brightened in front of Gelk, a pale green barrier quickly emerged and defended against Gillian's attack. Although he wasn't injured, the smoky traces were indispensable.

Damn bastard!

Gelk once again retreated. He gritted his teeth and shot Gillian a death stare. Unlike the ignorant humans, Gelk immediately detected the pureness of Gillian's fire elemental prowess. He intended to burn her with the flames from hell but instead, he almost injured himself after she deflected them back. With such a high command of controllability even in the demon's flames, this fox-ear maiden definitely wasn't any ordinary half-beast. She must be an emissary from the fire plane of existence.

Gelk had a splitting headache at this thought.

The four elemental planes had nothing much involved with the demons and their stands were always neutral regarding the battles of the demons. However, the Demon General couldn't figure out why an emissary would be here. And what's worse was, she's a fire element emissary.

Even in a place like hell, the elemental strengths shouldn't be underestimated. It was also due to this that Gelk didn't know how to lay his hands on Gillian. He was worried if the Fire Elemental Lord got the news that Gelk had injured or killed his emissary, the Fire Elemental lord would confront Gelk's master in hell and this would definitely end as a tragedy — There were no such things as sacrificing oneself for another in hell. Instead, there were countless of backstabbings. Not to mention, Gelk was only a lowly ranked Demon General. He suspected that if things turned out that way, he would definitely be offered as a compensation to appease the Elemental Lord.

However, that's still a long time after. Taking a step back, Gelk might not even be capable of defeating Gillian.

Gelk swept a glance on the Fortress below him. At this moment, the Fortress was filled with fire sparks and smoke. Those foolish human Barbarians were unable to withstand this blow totally. Under the airstrikes of Gillian's fireballs, those Barbarians were scared out of their wits. Although Gillian currently didn't possess the true strength of an Elemental Lord, her fireballs were still bold and powerful — And it was this boldness that scared the Barbarians witless.

Got to say, sometimes this overwhelming barrage indeed seemed frightening.

After experiencing the first wave of 'barrage', the Barbarians screamed as they scrambled into the Fortress to avoid the 'fire rain'. Some struggled to escape towards the city outskirts and some even thought this was the punishment from the Creator Dragon as they discarded their weapons and kneeled in prayers.

With such men, it's imaginable just how much attacking strength they had.

Another matter that depressed the Demon General was that his enemies seemed to be well prepared for him. Not long after the Demon General appeared, he received news of enemy intrusions and he was occupied by Gillian at the same time. Gelk thought his Black Robes and Barbarians could form an alliance enough to handle the dozen of adventurers, but now, as a quarter of an hour past, the situation turned even more chaotic.

Now Gelk didn't dare imagine himself diving back down to the Fortress because there's a sea of flames waiting for him. Only an idiot would dare to do that in the face of a Fire Elemental emissary.

What exactly is the situation down there?
