About five or six minutes later, countless sharp cries erupted from the distant Demon Bat Cave. The overlapping sounds were unpleasant and piercing, as if countless needles were simultaneously rubbing against glass.
Then, an incredibly spectacular scene unfolded: countless demonic bats poured out of the cave like swarms of bees, layer upon layer, heavy and undulating, like an impenetrable dark cloud that covered the sky above. Countless demonic bats surged within it, their fleshy wings fluttering and their fangs terrifying.
Standing at the forefront of the demon bats were nine humanoid demon bats with five pairs of fleshy wings each.
Their limbs and bodies resembled those of humans, both male and female, and they were barely clothed. Only their five pairs of fleshy wings covered the sky and the sun. As they flew, a strong wind swept through the air, snapping many mushroom trees and sending them flying into the sky.
In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and yellow sand filled the sky, resembling a scene of impending doom.
Sheke and Luo Xiu stood up at the same time.
The two stood atop the high wall, their clothes rustling in the fierce wind. Before the vast army of demonic bats, they were as insignificant as two specks of dust, even the mushroom trees blown into the sky were much larger than them.
This is a completely unequal war.
Two against five thousand? Against ten thousand? Or tens of thousands?
The two had no idea.
But neither of them showed any fear on their faces.
even……
Shek clenched his fists, and one crimson magic circle after another lit up on the thorny wall, actively targeting the army of demonic bats above, spewing forth countless thick thorns and elemental torrents!
Attack! Attack!
This was the teaching he, Shek, received from his father since childhood.
“We, Dorant, will one day go out and leave this region. To do that, we must take the first step: launch an offensive against the monsters.”
Passive defense will never bring victory.
He is the master of this city, and this time he should also be the vanguard of this city!
Luo Xiu stood aside, his magic power ready to be unleashed. His eyes swept over the mighty swarm of demonic bats, and he finally counted the number of fourth-tier demonic bats in the army.
67.
The corners of his mouth turned upward.
6700 points.
……
Within the inner city.
The enormous iron hammer, several tens of meters long, was now being held in the hands of a little girl dressed in silver helmet and armor, making the scene look completely disproportionate.
But the little girl wielded the hammer with such skill and precision that it seemed to create a sharp, swift wind.
"Om-"
The hard hammer struck a thick tentacle, producing a metallic roar.
"You—can't—win—hehe—"
Opposite the little girl was a humanoid creature hundreds of meters tall.
She wore an incredibly gorgeous outfit, with crimson gold and silver-white intertwined on the dress, paired with black flared leggings, and a shimmering satchel tied around her waist.
This creature, in both its voice and size, resembled an enlarged version of the man in golden robes.
Dozens of tentacles danced behind it, all looking battered and bruised, yet they still moved swiftly through the air, coiling towards the little girl.
The little girl tossed the hammer into the air, then nimbly flipped over to dodge the tentacle's attack, before catching the hammer again.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked anxiously at Vivian, who was fighting Lucas in the distance.
At this point, Vivian was clearly at a disadvantage, and even on the verge of death.
That beast Lucas had prepared at least dozens of systematic spell arrays beforehand. Vivian was no match for his full power and could only struggle to hold on.
She summoned a giant eyeball, which originally seemed to contain mountains, forests, grasslands, snowfields, oceans, and starry nights. Now, under the attack of dozens of spells, it was on the verge of shattering, and even its deep pupils were somewhat dissipated.
At this moment, the enormous eyeball once again blocked Vivian's path, shielding her from another stacked curse. The blood vessels in the white of the eye ruptured, and blood of a dreamlike color gushed out, as if it were weeping blood.
"How to do how to do?"
The little girl grew increasingly anxious. She was stronger than the fifth-tier mushroom monster opposite her, but this guy was really troublesome and she couldn't break through.
She swung the sledgehammer in her hand, spinning it violently to smash all the tentacles around her. Then, steeling her resolve, she prepared to detonate the weapon that had accompanied her in battle for many years, attempting to break through her predicament.
"puff!"
After yet another clash between her eyeballs and the spell array, blood seeped from the corner of Vivian's mouth, and her face grew increasingly pale.
Lucas across from him was laughing wildly, his long, sweeping beard trembling.
"Vivian, you've been beating me for so long, but it's no use. In the end, I'm still the one who wins."
"Who do you expect to save you now? The whole of Kanriel is about to sink."
"Do you really think I care about that damn city lord position? I want far more than that!"
"You're quite greedy, Lucas."
A deep, hoarse voice rang out, and Lucas's gaze suddenly sharpened.
At the same time, upon hearing that familiar voice, a glimmer of light seemed to appear in Vivian's eyes.
A thin layer of black mist drifted in from afar, eventually coalescing into Tata's figure, which stood between Vivian and Lucas, calmly addressing Lucas:
"A familiar matchup, Lucas, how long can you last this time?"
Chapter 202 Decisive Battle 2
"Lucas, how long can you hold out this time?"
Tata's appearance was completely unexpected by Lucas. Hearing Tata's words, bad memories flooded his mind, and he instantly became furious.
A similar scene has happened before.
He and Vivian have always been among the most talented geniuses in Kanriel in the last hundred years. Although they are not as good as those geniuses who achieved good results in the Golden Apple Garden and eventually went to the capital, they are already among the top.
As the strongest sorcerer and alchemist remaining in Kanriel, their rivalry never ceased.
Throughout this process, whether it was due to talent or luck, he was consistently outmatched by Vivian and suffered a regrettable defeat.
Until one day, he finally defeated Vivian and excitedly boasted to his friends that sorcery was superior to alchemy.
But somehow, this news somehow reached Tata's ears.
This damn guy came straight to my door, challenging me to a duel in front of everyone.
He couldn't refuse; he had no choice but to accept.
In a mere five minutes, he was completely overwhelmed.
It was no longer a one-sided battle. Later, whenever those in the know talked about that duel in private, they would say that it was a father disciplining a disobedient child.
The thought of this made Lucas tremble with rage. He looked at Tata, shrouded in black mist, on the opposite side:
"Last time you were just prepared, do you really think you can beat me this time?!"
He roared, and the forbidden spell array behind him, which was as tall as a skyscraper piercing through the clouds, also expanded wildly, as if it too was angry.
The sky instantly changed color, and endless darkness rolled out from the towering magic array pillar, spreading and devouring the surrounding light.
"Just try and you will find out."
Tata's magic surged, and its body, which was originally only a few meters tall, instantly grew to a size that rivaled the fifth-tier mushroom monster in the distance. Black mist billowed into the sky, making it resemble a giant demon.
At the same time, four tentacles extended from his body, each holding a piece of equipment.
There are red and white warhammers, crystal balls that sparkle, giant scythes that exude a deathly aura, and battle axes that divide light and shadow.
At the same time, a pair of towering arms stretched out from both sides, reaching forward as if they could grab the sky, and directly grabbed the forbidden spell pillar next to Lucas.
Lucas's eyes narrowed. This was the first time he had seen Tata in this state, several times more terrifying than during their last duel, and a ripple of emotion inevitably stirred within him.
But he remained absolutely confident; he had been preparing for this day for far too long.
The forbidden pillar in the sky roared like thunder, and countless fragments of dark runes spread out, rolling towards Kanriel.
"Tata, you can't beat me!!!"
A strange black light emanated from Lucas's body, and his long robe gradually faded away as if corroded, revealing his lean, muscular, bronze skin underneath.
The black light, like the tip of a paintbrush, moved across the skin's surface, leaving strange marks that formed eerie symbols and imprints.
In an instant, Lucas's body was covered with black patterns, and even his face was covered with forbidden spells and symbols, as if his most primal bloodline had returned to its original form, radiating an eerie dark blue glow.
Fifth-tier Sorcerer Skill: [Forbidden Spell Body]
The forbidden pillar in the sky emitted a series of loud noises, as if it had some kind of mysterious resonance with the bloodline within Lucas's body, and its power surged, instantly colliding with Tata's outstretched arm.
"boom--"
With a deafening roar, a massive, bottomless crack appeared in the ground between Tata and Lucas.
This collision actually shattered the incredibly solid soil layer of Kanriel.
Tata didn't say anything, and then swung his hand out again.
At the same time, the four tentacles behind him danced, and the four weapons he held simultaneously unleashed terrifying power. A flash of aurora illuminated the entire sky, as if a true demon god had descended upon the world.
Lucas's gaze sharpened, his skin, covered in texture, trembled, and his magical power surged. The forbidden pillar in the sky suddenly began to rotate.
"Click - click -"
As if the sound of clock gears turning rang out, the forbidden pillar of magic shot out beams of dark light as it rotated.
When the dark light falls on the ground, it spreads instantly, polluting the area it touches and turning it into a deathly silence, leaving only the forbidden spell rising from the ground.
After the surrounding land was completely polluted, the area where the Forbidden Pillar was located was turned into a barren wasteland. Its power increased again, and it began to actively extract fragments of energy from the surrounding things to strengthen itself.
Tata's attacks landed on the Forbidden Spell Pillar, causing it to shake and dim its color, but they couldn't completely stop it from operating. Even when injured, it continued to curse and draw energy from the surrounding food sources to nourish itself.
After a dozen or so consecutive exchanges, the color of the Forbidden Spell Pillar dimmed by about half, but its operating speed did not slow down.
"Hahaha!"
Lucas was laughing hysterically:
"Do you know how much time and effort I spent preparing this forbidden spell? Even if I gave you a few more hours, you still wouldn't be able to break through. By then, Kanriel would have become a complete wasteland."
