Chapter 820: The Battle Begins (II)

“Gaap, Stolas, Phenex, head into battle and support the army. Even if you can’t take the Southeastern Fort, I want you to create a breach.”

“Yes.” Three demon gods appeared from behind. After greeting Samigina politely, they shot off three streaks of light. The demon army set off once more.

Whether it was quality or quantity, the demon army this time had visibly improved. They amounted to over a hundred thousand and rushed towards Southeastern Fort once again, over land and in air.

The Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons quickly charged forward under the protection of the huge Blazing Lions along the ground, while the Birdy Demons that had been repelled earlier regrouped with the Dual Headed Demon Eagles to form a stronger attack in the air. Most importantly, over a dozen Demon Carriers appeared among them. Not only were the Demon Carriers that fastest aerial magic troops among the demons, they could also incapacitate their opponents. Their disgusting mucus could strike fear into the heart of any human, regardless of vocation.

Moreover, the army was lead by demon gods this time. It was completely different from the probing attacks of before.

Looking at the terrifying demon army in the distance, Qiu Yonghao could not help but change in expression. If it was in the past, a demon army like this could make the Southeastern Fort suffer heavy losses, or even come close to falling.

The demon gods all varied in size and shape, but rarely did they ever appear on the battlefield. As a result, even as the previous temple head of the Warrior Temple, Qiu Yonghao was unable to tell the strength of these three demon gods. However, he could tell from the three shining demon god pillars in the distance that these demon gods definitely did not rank toward the bottom.

“Don’t worry, temple head Qiu. I know these three demon gods,” Ye Sanmi said steadily from beside Qiu Yonghao.

All of the Eternal Heroes currently wore a large cloak, which covered their bodies.

Listening to Ye Sanmi’s calm voice, Qiu Yonghao could not help but become rather ashamed. Before the powerful demons, he was still unable to remain at ease!

“That’s the thirty-third demon god, Gaap, the thirty-sixth demon god, Stolas and the thirty-seventh demon god, Phenex. These three specialise in support and magic, so they can play quite a large role on the battlefield. Their individual battle prowess is so-so.”

Ye Sanmi might have slumbered for several thousand years, but his understanding of the demon gods was still better than the important members of the Warrior Temple. Aside from the Demon God Emperor, the names of all the demon gods would never change. In other words, no matter which generation of Moon Demon God it was, they would all be Vassago, while the Star Demon Gods would all be called Vassago. This was why he could name the three demon gods.

Mentioning their names, information regarding these three demon gods immediately flashed through Qiu Yonghao’s head. He said sternly, “Gaap’s known as the Arcane Demon God. He’s skilled in arcane magic and is skilled in large scale support. Among the seventy-two demon gods, he’s basically the only demon god that purely focuses on support. His personal strength is very weak, but to be able to rank thirty-third, his supporting ability is clearly very powerful.”

“Stolas is known as the Demon God of Curses. He’s skilled in various curses, which makes him extremely troublesome.”

“Phenex is known as the Dark Phoenix. He’s skilled in fire and darkness magic. Although he ranks the lowest out of the three of them, he has the strongest combat prowess.”

After reciting the abilities of the three demon gods, Qiu Yonghao’s heart weighed slightly heavier. These three demon gods could definitely play a terrifying role on the battlefield, but it also demonstrated that Samigina was unable to truly remain calm after the failure from before. This wave of attack would not be easy to stop!

“Leave Gaab and the Demon Carriers to me.” Ye Sanmi said indifferently, “The demons don’t know about our existence, so I’ll give them a present. However, that’ll be my only opportunity. As a result, I can only take care of one of the three demon gods. Once I attack one of them, the other two will definitely undergo the demon god transformation. This will be a tough battle.”

As they discussed the battle tactic, the demon army in the distance drew closer and closer.

The Arcane Demon God Gaab seemed no different from a human. Long, navy hair dropped down his back as he wore luxurious, silver robes. However, he seemed rather wretched, with a large, hooked nose and bulbous eyes. He also carried a thick blue magic staff. He flew by controlling the elements in the air. He did not use any wings at all.

As he flew, Gaab chanted to himself. Very soon, navy light enveloped the demon army below.

Immediately, almost ten thousand demons at the very front were enveloped by this blue light and they suddenly charged forward with much greater speed.

Arcane magic, Agility Boost.

As a user of purely supportive magic, the Arcane Demon God Gaab could cover an extremely large range with his magic. There was not a single human mage that could match him.

He used the magic extremely quickly. After boosting the agility of the demon troops, another red light enveloped the Blazing Lions, Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons. This was a Strength Boost.

And this was only a beginning. If he was allowed to continually cast his arcane magic, the battle prowess of the demon army would double at the very least, while their tenacity on the battlefield would drastically increase as well. And this was under the circumstance that Gaab had yet to undergo the demon god transformation.

The demon god transformation could only last a limited amount of time. Clearly, he wanted to use it when it was most crucial.

However, what he did not know was that he had already become Ye Sanmi’s target.

Opposed to Gaab, Stolas and Phenex had yet to take action, because their range was nowhere as great as Gaab’s and it was used against the enemy. As a result, they needed to get closer to the Southeastern Fort before they could use it.

Gaab was still another five kilometers away from the Southeastern Fort. Even for single targeting curses, there were barely any that could reach so far, so he did not feel that he was under any danger at all.

On the walls of the Southeastern Fort, Ye Sanmi removed his cloak, which revealed an old face. His grey skin gave off a somewhat metallic lustre, but his eyes were very special. They did not seem to belong to an undead at all. His pair of green eyes were bright and piercing. Only in their very depths could tiny green flames be seen leaping about.

Ye Sanmi lifted his hand and grabbed at the air. Immediately, a huge bow appeared in his arms. The bow was even longer than his body. It was dark golden, but the bowstring shone with faint, seven-coloured light.

As soon as the bow appeared, Qiu Yonghao who was only inches away from it felt like his soul was being sucked away. There were many magnificent patterns on the bow, but it was all hidden away by the dark golden lustre.

Ye Sanmi held the bow by the centre with his left hand and slowly raised it before him. He grabbed the bowstring with his right hand and just slowly drew it without an arrow.

As he began drawing the arrow, Qiu Yonghao instinctively staggered a few steps back. The other people around him were forced to make some room as well. It was as if an invisible air stream now surrounded Ye Sanmi, rising up like a flame. As the bow was draw, it also emitted their invisible flow of air, but strangely enough, both the dark golden colour of the bow or the seven-coloured light from the bowstring dimmed. They became inconspicuous.

Was this a divine tool? Qiu Yonghao had great knowledge and wisdom so he could tell the bow was extraordinary from the first glance. He could not help but gasp. The Eternal Hero actually possessed a divine tool. Not only was this an ancient divine tool, it seemed to be related to the ancient elves, because the pattern on the bow was something special to the ancient elves. Qiu Yonghao was unable to tell what it detailed, but he could tell that it was related to the elves.

Gaap’s third arcane spell was completely very soon. He was a standalone demon god, without his own clan. As a result, he was not concerned by the deaths of the Berserk Demons and Demonic Eye Soldiers earlier. He was just disdainful towards Samigina’s commands. As the Arcane Demon God, he personally believed he was the best at controlling entire situations, but just because he did not possess any personal prowess, he had never been able to lead at the front lines. As a result, he felt bitter over this inability.

It was finally time for him to enter the battlefield. Gaap could finally vent this feeling of bitterness and have a great go at it, where he would show the other demon clans just how powerful his pure supportive abilities were.

It was also at this moment that Gaap’s heart suddenly tightened. He automatically stopped the spell he was chanting. He only felt like a great, invisible hand had grabbed his heart, causing him indescribable pain. He could not help but grunt. He instinctively looked in the direction of the Southeastern Fort.

What he saw were a pair of jade-green eyes and a huge bow.

Impossible. How can an arrow reach me from so far away?

Just as Gaap felt speechless from shock and refused to believe that he could be attacked at such a range, a green fire shot into the sky from the top of the walls, reaching an altitude of over a hundred meters.

The ball of fire that had suddenly appeared made the demons jump in fright. Afterwards, a speck of seven-coloured light shot over like a bolt of lightning from the green light in the air.

I’m the target. Gaap roared in realisation inside as the sense of danger made him immediately use the power of his demon god pillar. action

The demon god pillar that belonged to the Arcane Demon God immediately shone with navy light within the demon encampment. Symbols lit up on the pillar like they had been revived and they immediately rose up into the air, forming an even larger symbol which rushed towards Gaap.

However, it was still a little too late by the time Gaap had reacted.

The moment the speck of seven-coloured light had been shot from the bow, the air within a hundred meters of Ye Sanmi hummed. The seven-coloured light only flew a hundred meters away before completely vanishing.
