Chapter 821: The Battle Begins (III)

Gaap had used the demon god transformation extremely quickly, but just as the huge, navy symbol arrived behind him, even in the moment when it was about to fuse with his body, the air before him ripped open and a speck of seven-coloured light immediately emerged.

What Gaap could do in time was to block with the huge, blue staff in his hands. However, in the next moment, the speck of light vanished once more.

The huge symbols behind Gaap quickly merged into his body, allowing his body to rapidly swell. Over a hundred different symbols appeared around him and revolved around him as well. These were symbols created from arcane magic. Having undergone the demon god transformation, Gaap’s arcane magic became twice as powerful as before.

However, the Arcane Demon God just hovered there without moving. His eyes were blank as he gazed off into the distance just like before. They were filled with disbelief.

The Demon God of Curses Stolas and the Dark Phoenix Demon God Phenex also sensed something was off and they used their demon god transformations without hesitation.

Stolas produced a caw and his pair of black wings immediately unfurled. Under the illumination of the orangey-red demon god pillar in the distance, his turned into a huge crow with a wingspan of ten meters. Both his eyes and beak were orangey-red.

The Dark Phoenix Demon God Phenex’s demon god transformation was much more fancy. He became over twenty meters long with his wings even wider than that. Dark golden imprint of flames appeared on his magnificent black body. He had become a phoenix of darkness.

However, their demon god transformations failed to affect Gaap. Just as they transformed, slivers of seven-coloured light began to pour out from Gaap’s body. Afterwards, with a bang, Gaap’s body exploded with seven-coloured light under the protection of all the arcane symbols. It scared Stolas and Phenex into quickly dodging.

The Arcane Demon God Gaap that ranked thirty-third became the first demon god to fall in this battle.

Samigina who originally sat on the commander’s seat suddenly stood up as shocked appeared in his eyes.

While Gaap was not skilled in battle, his cultivation had still reached the third rank of the ninth step. If he underwent the demon god transformation, his battle prowess could even reach the fifth rank of the ninth step and his supportive abilities would become extremely powerful. However, he had just been instantly slain like that.

Didn’t they say that the Warrior Temple had no divine tools? However, the seven-coloured light earlier clearly could only be emitted by a divine tool. Was it a divine tool bow?

Without a doubt, the most terrifying divine tool on the battlefield would be a magic staff that could amplify magic, but in terms of posing the greatest threat to an individual, nothing outshone a bow. Once a divine tool bow had appeared, it would pose a huge threat to basically any demon god. Even the Demon God of Death Samigina who ranked fourth would not be an exception to this? The Northeastern Fort had become much more difficult to take than he imagined it to be. Samigina could not help but have his expression become very warped.

Thwang. The huge bow drooped, while Ye Sanmi’s left hand which held onto the bow remained very still. However, the light in his eyes had dimmed. Clearly, it had not been easy for him to shoot the arrow that could instantly kill a demon god. However, the arrow boosted the morale of the Southeastern Fort by an unbelievable amount.

The enemy army had arrived. As a powerful clan that was a fusion between magic and biology, the Blazing Lions immediately launched fireballs at the walls. At the same time, they used their huge but tough bodies to protect the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons.

The earth mages used the Falling Stones spell, bombarding the surroundings before the walls. The elemental stones would automatically vanish after landing on the ground. They would not become rocks that the demons could use to climb.

The combined efforts of the five hundred earth mages temporarily stopped the advance of the enemies below. However, the Demonic Wolves were tenacious and powerful in battle, while the Panther Demons were fast as well. As a result, the damage that the Falling Stones spell could cause was limited. It could only prevent them from attacking the walls.

After Ye Sanmi’s arrow, Qiu Yonghao completely recovered his composure and passed down orders one after another. The edge of the walls were covered by shield warriors, while the knight army had already gathered in the city, ready to charge out into battle at any time. Knights would only be most effective out in the open.

The mission of the fire mages was to handle the aerial forces from the demons. The Dual Headed Demon Eagles and Birdy Demons arrived arrived at the same time. The Birdy Demons were used physical attacks, while the Dual Headed Demon Eagles could use darkness and fire magic as well as physical attacks to a certain extent. They posed an extremely great threat to the Southeastern Fort.

However, the influence of Ye Sanmi’s arrow was just too great, so these flying demons clearly slowed down drastically. Even the Demon God of Curses Stolas and the Dark Phoenix Demon God Phenex did not approach the walls. Even after using the demon god transformation, they were not completely confident that they could avoid the terrifying attack from the divine bow.

Although Ye Sanmi had only slain a single demon god, it was possible to say that he alone had completely minimised the effects of the three demon gods on the battlefield.

Samigina had already stood up. He commanded the battle, “Bifrons, Haagenti, go assist Stolas and Phenex.”

“Yes,” two burly figures shot off from Samigina’s side with a flash and charged into the battlefield. One of the figures was an iron black colour, while the other was a brownish yellow.

Ranked forty-sixth, the Monster Demon God Bifrons stood ten meters tall. He looked like an enlarged baboon. His close combat prowess was extraordinary, but he did not know any magic. With a tough body, his defence was shocking.

Ranked forty-eighth, the Ox Demon God of Terror Haggenti was a huge ox. He was one of the few demon gods that was most skilled in defence.

Samigina’s objective in sending them out was very simple. He wanted them to protect the Demon God of Curses and Dark Phoenix Demon God who had weaker defences, so their magic could be unleashed to their fullest potential, which would allow them to turn the disadvantageous situation around.

It would be much easier for the Monster Demon God and Ox Demon God to handle the arrows.

Just when Samigina sent the two demon gods as reinforcements, the battle for the fort had completely unfolded.

Without nothing else to follow up the earth mage’s spells, the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons began their full-scale assault on the walls. They were both the primary forces among the demons, as their strength was relatively stronger. The Blazing Lions were slightly less proficient at climbing, but once they made it on the walls, they would pose a huge threat to the warriors on there.

The shield warriors stood at the very front valiantly and collided with the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons.

Although the Warrior Temple was the weakest out of the six temples, it was also the most numerous. With the shield warriors at the front and the berserkers at the back, they engaged in a battle to the death against the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons.

All of the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple appeared on the battlefield. No matter how powerful the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons were, they still paled in comparison to warriors of the sixth step and higher.

A huge, golden sword swept over the top of the walls. On the walls that spanned several hundred meters across, all of the Demonic Wolves, Panther Demons and the few Blazing Lions that had just made it up were bisected. This was Qiu Yonghao’s attack.

The warriors above the eighth step were all standing on the battlements, preventing the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons from passing them.

However, the attacks from the demons in the air also arrived. The magic from the Dual Headed Eagle Demons and spears of lightning from the Birdy Demons constantly rained down on the Southeastern Fort. The armies of the Temple Union began suffering losses. Fortunately, Qiu Yonghao’s battle tactic of pairing up the troops was very successfully. The mages were protected very well, but the aerial demons fought back rather powerfully as well.

What surprised Samigina was that for some reason, the defensive weapon that usually possessed the greatest power, the magic cannons, were not used at all. They seemed to have vanished completely, which allowed the aerial demon army to fight even harder.

Spurt! A warrior strangely collapsed on the ground with a slit throat and immediately a hole appeared on the walls. However, it was quickly plugged by a berserker using his body.

“Mages, use scouting techniques. There are Dyke Demons.”

Scouting techniques lit up on the city walls and as expected, a large number of Dyke Demons appeared on the battlefield among the Demonic Wolves and Panther Demons. Even when they were illuminated by the scouting techniques, the invisible Dyke Demons were like transparent wisps of smoke, making it very difficult to discover them. The losses on the walls immediately increased as a result. action

In the air, the Monster Demon God and Ox Demon God had finally arrived. Under their protection, Phenex and Stolas could finally approach the walls of the fort. They were both preparing their magic as well.

Having reached this point, the demons had finally gained an upper hand through the strength of their land and air troops.

A ball of dim, green light suddenly became the centre of attention. As it fell from the sky, a twisted tunnel appeared.

Stolas’ eyes were vicious, “Die, you damn humans. You’ve actually killed Gaap. I’d like to see how you deal with my Swamp of Corrosion now.”

The name was very simple, but it was a true forbidden spell, a forbidden spell filled with the might of curses. It did not target people, but the wall.

However, at this very moment, a fire-red figure suddenly leapt up from the walls. A pair of huge, fire wings unfurled and pushed his body towards the green light in a flash.

The weapon in his hands was a spear. The spear thrust forwards and a transparent, red crystal suddenly appeared on the tip of the spear.

The red crystal just stabbed into the gim, green ball of light and the light halted in the air, as if it was about to explode. However, the red crystal exploded first.

Flames that mixed red and green immediately rose up and the sky turned into a huge cluster of fire. Afterwards, the fire-red figure that had flown up into the air thrusted his spear at the distant sky.
