Demon King: Hero, don't run away!
Chapter 1463: Never Forget Your Mission
The sound of shattering mirrors echoed across the field, stirring up waves of ice fog.
Several ice cones pierced into Yang Yu’s body, and crimson blood flowed from the wounds.
As the surroundings slowed down, Yang Yu swiftly activated the [Steel Spur Shield], reducing the sustained damage. Apart from the initial few attacks with strong lethality, Yang Yu shouldered the subsequent attacks.
With such dense attacks, even if Tian Hanxue didn’t use the special effect of the Barrier to slow everything down, it would be impossible to completely dodge the attacks just by maneuvering.
Tiny snowflakes drifted down, the stagnant space was once again flowing. Without bothering to check his own condition, Yang Yu opened the panel to check Bai Jin and the others’ status.
Aside from He Meng, Bai Jin and the others’ blood volumes were pressed below halfway, but it was still safe.
This was thanks to the sharp-eyed Iyas who noticed the anomaly from afar. She placed her hand on her chest and activated [Goddess’s Smile].
Influenced by Tian Hanxue’s Barrier, the shield from [Goddess’s Smile], which could be immune to everything, activated rather slowly. It couldn’t block the initial one or two rounds of attacks for Iyas and them, but it nonetheless succeeded in unfolding, shielding Iyas and them from subsequent damage, preventing the situation from worsening.
With the space back to normal, Iyas swiftly lifted her hand, released group healing, and scattered Holy Light to heal the injured companions.
The companions’ blood volumes gradually increased, Yang Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took steps towards the companions again, and switched [Broken Cocoon Butterfly] to egg shape, using Active Skill to regain some blood.
Yang Yu glanced at Tian Hanxue with the corner of his eye, Tian Hanxue danced gracefully in the light pillar, shattered ice crystals surged anew, flew into the sky, and converged into octahedrons.
The Secret Treasure of the Snow Woman Clan [Ice Sealed Scroll], can it really be used for limitless blast?
That’s too exaggerated.
The known weakness of [Ice Sealed Scroll] is that the user cannot leave the light pillar, and within the range, the octahedron hard ice seems to only be usable in snowy weather.
Bai Jin can use Weather Magic, if she could fly up into the sky....
No, that’s too dangerous, putting aside any interference, the activation time of Weather Magic is a significant issue. By the time Bai Jin activates the Weather Magic, perhaps they would all be dead and buried.
Yang Yu activated [Rapid Cover] to further close the distance with Bai Jin and them.
His figure flickered, Yang Yu suddenly disappeared from his original place during his walk, arriving behind Lotcar.
Countless bloodstained ice crystals fell off Lotcar, Bai Jin used Magic to pull out the ice cones lodged in everyone, Iyas continued the Holy Light Healing for the wounds.
Not allowing Yang Yu and them a moment to breathe, Bai Jin noticed the newly formed octahedron hard ice starting to act up.
New attacks are coming soon!
"Yang Yu!"
Calling out Yang Yu’s name, Bai Jin raised her Magic Wand, the Magic Array formed before her wand, spraying several interference spells attempting to block the magic within the octahedron.
However, Bai Jin’s efforts were futile.
Magic Power went berserk, the octahedron cracked a gap, bam, extending downwards, and exploded with a boom.
Tian Hanxue’s [Ice Sealed Scroll] was not affected at all by Bai Jin.
"Retreat!"
Yang Yu was concise, they had no other choice.
The Demon King possesses the wealth of the entire Demon World, as his subordinate and daughter, Tian Hanxue must also hold countless rare treasures.
She brought out such a Secret Treasure, Yang Yu for the moment could think of no countermeasure.
Other than running, there’s no alternative.
Continuing to resist, once all their defensive measures are exhausted, death would be the only path.
Without any hesitation, Lotcar transformed into silver light, charged forward with all his might, traversing the forest of hard ice formed by octahedrons.
Lotcar’s acute hearing also captured the words spoken by Tian Hanxue that as long as one runs towards somewhere sunny, surely one could escape this endless explosion of octahedron hard ice.
Sadly, even with Lotcar at full speed, it was difficult to keep up with the pace of chain explosions in the octahedron.
Octahedron hard ice burst one after another, shedding numerous egg-sized octahedron hard ice, countless hard ice collided with each other, breaking into various sized ice cones, bombarding Yang Yu and them again.
"He Meng! Now we can only rely on you!"
Yang Yu didn’t say much, but He Meng understood the meaning in Yang Yu’s words.
Rapidly stretching his body, He Meng spread out like a Big Pancake, covering over Yang Yu and them from above, simultaneously infused his sole Equipment with magic power, forming a transparent protective umbrella at the front of Lotcar.
Iyas hastily applied a series of buffs to increase the damage He Meng could bear, Yang Yu also linked [Defense Link] to He Meng, transferring half of his dual defense to her, shifting half of her damage to himself, to prevent He Meng from reverting to her original form after enduring too much damage.
No matter how fiercely the ice spurs surged ahead, Lotcar bravely forged on.
Once he stops to rest, those octahedrons surely would explode repeatedly, draining their stamina.
Countless tiny ice cones bombarded He Meng, her body continuously emitted dense blood loss notifications, yet the damage numbers were tiny, as long as Iyas consistently injected Holy Light for healing, it was enough to offset the damage He Meng endured.
And the damage transferred to Yang Yu by He Meng could be healed by Yang Yu merely using the Passive [tenacity].
The bombardment of hard ice gradually ceased, pieces of ice crystals exploded on Yang Yu and their path forward, the subsequent attacks were already very weak.
Far away, the shattered ice crystals rose again, reforming into individual octahedrons before Yang Yu and them.
Located at the center of the Array, Tian Hanxue through the [Ice Sealed Scroll] watched Yang Yu and their actions, slightly frowned, her plan seemed to be thwarted again.
"Tactical retreat?
That wasn’t panic just now, but a calculated strategy?
Underestimated the defense power of that Slime, the Slime with them, its ability is extraordinary.
Last time during Task execution, it was also because of that Slime...
That indeed complicates matters."
Tian Hanxue very much wanted to chase after them, but she couldn’t.
On one hand, Lotcar is running too fast, intending to catch up with Yang Yu and them would require abandoning the use of [Ice Sealed Scroll], thereby nullifying the threat she posed to Yang Yu and them, Yang Yu and they might not pay her any mind, directly escaping effortlessly; on the other hand, [Ice Sealed Scroll] also rolled some Demon Clan cadres into it, who didn’t timely activate defensive measures, are already scarred.
Yang Yu might be important, but the mission from the Demon King side is equally crucial.
Tian Hanxue certainly didn’t want to become the big daughter of filial piety in others’ eyes, allowing people to burst into laughter.
"If you can escape here, it shows you have some capability, my preparations are insufficient.
Next time I see you, I definitely won’t let you find any flaws again."
Tian Hanxue concentrated, manipulating the octahedron hard ice beside Yang Yu and them to shatter, releasing violent energy.
The range covered by [Ice Sealed Scroll] is immensely wide, directly covering half of the mountainside, the ice crystals bombarded are extremely dense, but this doesn’t mean, Yang Yu cannot command teammates to operate.
By calculating variables related to the intensity of the octahedron hard ice shattering, Yang Yu devised a set of feasible strategy methods to reduce damage.
