Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts
Chapter 884 - 236: Offense and Defense (3)
The restraint on the right neck disappeared, followed by intense pain.
Diers forced himself to endure the pain on his right neck, his slender neck writhing like a snake, then the fierce head on the right lunged to bite Star's abdomen!
Prepared, Star flapped its wings, flying away in the distance. Diers, having broken free from suppression, let out a liberating roar.
The three heads quickly scanned the surroundings; Faceless and Corpse King, Victor and the Third Generation Seed of Flames were still entangled with each other, unlikely to have a resolution in the short term. Meanwhile, the big dog that almost ruined one of his heads just now had dashed toward the Glory Squad of the Ancient Demons. Though it was ten against one, the situation unfolded in a starkly opposite manner.
The situation was clear. Once that big dog dealt with the surrounding small fry, it would certainly target him first again, teaming up with this divine beast to put him to death!
Diers still had some self-awareness; one-on-one, he was fearless, but one on two, it was challenging.
With this in mind, Diers ignored his still-bleeding neck, spread his wings slightly, and sprang skyward toward Star!
...
"Huff, huff..."
The heavy breathing, accompanied by slightly cumbersome footsteps, belonged to Cyclops, whose spine was injured, making movement a bit challenging.
Even with the blessing of the Blood and Flesh Badge, it couldn't escape the biological anatomy. But of course, this was a minor issue; far more important was the significant enhancement in physique, making Cyclops even more deadly!
The roar of the two giant dragons behind was drawing nearer, and soon their cries intertwined. Dragon Flame and Demonic Qi intermingled, the energy clash stirred up a wind that sliced past Cyclops's body.
The battle behind had already begun...
Yet here he was, dealing with small fry?
Thinking of this, Cyclops felt a wave of discontent—however, against the two giant dragons, it was an undeniable fact that Cyclops's strength was slightly lesser.
Rather than trailing Star as a sidekick, Cyclops wished to dominate the entire battle like a hero.
If so, getting hurt seemed to be the best way!
With this thought, Cyclops saw the abrupt rise of a field of icy spikes ahead, and dashed straight into them without hesitation.
The sharp icicles cut through his body, leaving negligible scars, and sensing a slight increase in physical strength, Cyclops couldn't resist letting out a furious roar!
"You bunch of trash, is this it? Is this all you've got?"
Amid the roaring, Cyclops stretched out his sharp claws and swung them violently, black flames fiercely burning on the claws, then, propelled by the immense strength of the swing, shot out like five blades, instantly shredding two charging Ancient Demons.
A cold shower doused the Glory Squad of the Ancient Demons, instantly extinguishing their fighting spirit—in this battlefield, these barely-overcome-the-limits guys were just a group of nobody-cares low-level cannon fodder.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Take him down, if he doesn't die, none of us will live!"
The squad leader of the Glory Squad of the Ancient Demons spoke up at the right time, and hearing these words, Cyclops couldn't help but grin widely.
A rather decent assist!
Seeing dozens of skills swiftly slashing through the air, hitting him and feeling the blood slowly surge, his injuries began to worsen, and Cyclops gradually closed his eyes...
Ultra Mortal Combat (SSS-Class, Passive Skill)...
Old friend,
Long time no see.
...
Watching in the distance as Lord Sequence Number 2 transformed into Black Light and shot into the sky, heading straight for the Catastrophe Ancient Tree, Ray took a deep breath and slowly drew the battle saber from his waist.
In front of him was a boundless demonic tide with its teeth and claws bared, behind him, mutant beasts and professionists looked at each other in fear and shock.
This battle won't be easy...
Ray sighed in his heart, and glanced again at the still-present black light shield overhead.
Wen Yu had left, but the black light shield hadn't disappeared. The residual power Wen Yu left in the shield was enough to hold out a little longer—ten minutes? Or twenty minutes? Maybe even shorter...
Ray silently estimated, then turned to look back behind him.
Behind Ray, the Barbarous Tyrant had already grown mountain-sized, its gigantic ox eyes completely red, with two white streams like streaks of lightning pouring out from its nostrils, brewing a fierce aura, it was ready for battle! In contrast, the Death Harbinger Raven and Wilderness Butcher had eyes darting around, not knowing what schemes they were plotting...
Ray stared straight at the two beasts, perhaps noticing the hesitation in their eyes; after a while, Ray spoke.
"We have no way out, to tell the truth, it's rather embarrassing. It's quite unfair to you. Actually, if you wanted to run, you would have definitely been able to escape a while back."
Death Harbinger Raven and Wilderness Butcher exchanged glances.
"Because of my personal desires and those of Lord Sequence Number 2, we've created this predicament you're facing now, and I owe you an apology."
Ray bowed his head, bent down, and bowed to the Death Harbinger Raven and Wilderness Butcher.
"But now in this situation, even if you want to run, you can't. Look around, there's Demon Tribe everywhere, enemies everywhere, you know, except for the New Hope Assembly Site, the entire African Continent has been conquered by the Demon Tribe. Even though it's a bit shameless, I still have to say this—under these circumstances, you have no choice but to fight, there is no other way out!"
Watching the expressions of Death Harbinger Raven and Wilderness Butcher grow more and more grim, Ray contemplated for a moment but decided not to use the small tricks Lord Sequence Number 2 planted in the minds of the two beasts.
"Look at you..."
"Riiiiip..."
Before Ray could finish his speech, a sudden sound of fabric ripping tore through the sky.
The deafening noise and energy fluctuations immediately captured everyone's attention. Ray looked up, only to see the black light shield in the sky trembling incessantly, the top part cracking like an eggshell. A huge rift abruptly formed, and then, an Ancient Demon with wings pried open the breach with force, squeezing into the New Hope Assembly Site.
Ray gasped sharply; the Pitch-dark Screen set up by Wen Yu, under the assault of high-level Demon Tribe, was surprisingly fragile beyond imagination...
The descended Ancient Demon paid no mind to the creatures below or the scattered long-range skill attacks. After entering the black light shield, it flapped its wings and darted toward another direction like an agile giant bird.
Its four arms entwined with ominous black light, the Ancient Demon flew straight to the edge of the barrier, its four arms like four sharp military spikes, viciously stabbed into the shield, then tore with force!
"Riiiiip!!!"
Another enormous rift!
The external demon fiends flooded into the New Hope Assembly Site incessantly through the breach. The near-forty-meter-high solid city wall was just a low threshold, easily crossed by a Level Five Demon with a single hurdle, then the roars of the demon fiends grew closer and closer!
"Awooo!!!"
Behind, the Wilderness Butcher let out a piercing howl, its dark-red fur flapping fiercely in the wind. The originally miniature body quickly grew, and in no time, a massive hyena nearly 20 meters high appeared in place.
Witnessing the demon fiends flooding into the city in an instant, the Wilderness Butcher arched its body and shot towards the distance like an arrow!
Seeing this scene, Ray was momentarily stunned, then the lazy voice of the Death Harbinger Raven sounded: "We aren't little children, we all understand the reasoning, Commander. You should just give a simple order and organize the defenses..."
Ray grinned, laughing heartily, laughed with delight.
