I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 797 - 798: Demon Guardian Temple

Chapter 797: Chapter 798: Demon Guardian Temple

Boom, boom, boom, …

The city’s defensive cannons roared in unison, the shells brutally slammed into Iphisna’s body. The violent explosion caused her figure to disappear.

Several seconds later, as the dust and smoke cleared, parts of Iphisna’s body were scattered across the battlefield. About a dozen items, each emitting a different color, were scattered around her corpse, among them were two that radiated a dark-golden light that captured the attention all Abyss players.

At this moment, Song Jian finally felt the attention that had been fixed on him gradually dissipating, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face.

With just a thought, Song Jian’s figure turned transparent and he dove through the city wall. In an instant, he managed to traverse the city wall, leaving the main city of Flame Furnace. He circled around and made his way towards the Demon Slayer Canyon.

Upon Iphisna’s death, the Wolf Spider Demons let out mournful howls, launching suicide attacks against the city wall. Watching Iphisna’s dismembered corpse, the remaining Demon Ritualists were filled with a deep sense of sorrow.

“Iphisna was really too impulsive…” The Flame Demon Ritualist, Black, shook his head and spoke in a low voice.

“The Sixth Demon King has truly fallen!” The Great Demon Ritualist, Saffer, sighed, looking up towards the city wall of the Flame Furnace’s main city.

At this moment, cheers erupted from the city wall – killing a Demon Ritualist was equivalent to severing the hope of a Demon Lord’s resurrection.

It should be noted that Flame Furnace was originally the main city of the Sixth Demon King, Estan. Only after his death did the city change hands, and naturally, they were not eager for the Sixth Demon King to awaken again.

To resurrect the Seven Abyss Demon Kings, firstly, an object from the Demon King’s remains would be required as a resurrection tool to gather the faith of the followers. Following this, a resurrection ritual needs to be held by the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist to fully resurrect them.

Now, the revival artifact of the Sixth Demon King has been stolen by Song Jian, and the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist had been killed. This completely severed any hope of the Sixth Demon King’s resurrection.

“Should we continue?” The Flame Demon Ritualist hesitated. At this point, the defense of the Flame Furnace city wall had fallen to less than half, with numerous demons’ corpses piled up below.

During the siege, the monsters’ corpses wouldn’t immediately burn to ashes. The bodies piled against the city wall had reached more than half of its height, and many demons were even able to climb the bodies to reach the wall.

“Didn’t you see that we are about to break through this city? If we retreat now, our tribesmen would have died in vain!” said the Goat-faced Demon Ritualist with a cold snort.

“Indeed, breaking through the city walls can give us huge rewards, even if we haven’t killed that human!” A strange smile drifted across the Abyssal Succubus Ritualist’s face as she giggled.

Among the few Demon Ritualists, perhaps only the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist wanted to kill Song Jian, for the artifact required for the resurrection of the Sixth Demon King was still on him.

Without personal grudges, the other Demonic Ritualists held a nonchalant attitude towards killing Song Jian.

However, the prospect of breaking into the main city and acquiring the wealth of the city was a huge temptation for the few Demonic Ritualists!

“Let those crazed Wolf Spider Demons take the lead!” A savage look flashed in the Great Demon Ritualist’s eyes as he spoke softly.

With the death of the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist, all the Wolf Spider Demons were filled with a suicidal determination. Glancing at each other, the Ritualists secretly nodded in agreement. They collectively commanded the demons to slow their assault, leaving the Wolf Spider Demons to run at the front.

At this moment, Song Jian was already heading towards the Demon Slayer Canyon. He had only obtained the Abyssal Demon Flame of the Sixth Demon King. The Abyssal Demon Flames of the other six Demon Kings were still out of reach. Currently, almost all the demons in the Demon Guardian Temple were striking at the Flame Furnace. This was the best time to complete the task;

Upon entering the Demon Slayer Canyon, Song Jian immediately received a system prompt;

System: Epic-level mission “Legacy of the Seven Demon Kings” triggered. Collect the Demon Flames of the Demon Kings and destroy the “Sword Immortal Severed Blade”.

“Sword Immortal… Severed Blade?” Song Jian was surprised and thought to himself, “Could it be possible that the seven Demon Kings fell because they fought with a Sword Immortal and ended up perishing together?”

“In the Abyssal Hell, there is an inheritance of the Sword Immortal. Only by going there can you have a chance to learn how to become a Sword Immortal…” Cecilia’s voice echoed in Song Jian’s ears.

“Demon Slayer Canyon is the place where a human Sword Immortal fought with the seven Demon Kings. It is also their mutual burial ground!” Song Jian was immediately excited.

If successful, not only could Song Jian obtain a Demi-God Artifact, but he could also obtain the inheritance left behind by a human Sword Immortal.

When Song Jian arrived deep in the Demon Slayer Canyon, he suddenly detected a figure picking something up. Upon taking a closer look, wasn’t that figure Kekaul, the angel that Song Jian had rescued?

“Kekaul, what are you up to?” Song Jian surprisingly found that Kekaul had entirely changed his equipment. From the previous silver armor, he was now adorned with a resplendent golden glow.

Seeing Song Jian, Kekaul appeared sheepish and said, “Hehe, I saw so many items dropped on the ground, so I took the liberty of changing my wardrobe!”

“How many did you take?” Song Jian asked curiously.

“Not that many, most were snatched up by a few thief-like chaps…” Kekaul pointed to his armor, “I simply picked up this set…”

“Okay, go with me to the Demon Guardian Temple!” Song Jian stated. At this time, in the Demon Slayer Canyon, one could still see a few Abyss players swiftly picking up something. After all, over a thousand Abyss players and NPC bounty hunters had perished. Even if the equipment they dropped was not the best they had, the sheer number meant that those who managed to escape would make quite a fortune.

Song Jian, pressed for time, had no time to pick up this equipment, most of the good quality ones were already taken, and what was left wasn’t particularly good;

Soon, Song Jian and the Angel Kekaul arrived at Broken Stone Mountain. The mountain had completely changed its form. The once towering mountain peak that nearly reached the top on both sides of the canyon seemed to have exploded from within. Numerous fragments were scattered in all directions;

In the middle of the Broken Stone Mountain, the Demon Guardian Temple, initially hidden within, also appeared. Earlier in the mountain’s belly, Song Jian had not taken a good look. Now, he realized that there were eight Demon Guardian Temples. Seven slightly smaller temples protected a central large temple;

Song Jian had inadvertently ventured into the Wolf Spider Demon Temple on the left;

“Where are we going now?” Kekaul asked.

“In order, we will visit every temple!” A smile appeared on Song Jian’s face. Looking at the quiet Demon Guardian Temple, devoid of a single monster, he whispered;
