nChapter 618: The Demon Attacks Again, Alice Makes Her Move (2)

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nStormwing Wyverns, Tier 6, 2 stars.

nAirborne units possess aerial awareness, and the Sea Crystal Wyrms immediately sensed it when the Stormwing Wyverns approached. They abandoned the ordinary orcs who were on the verge of collapse and soared into the sky.

nRoar—

nTheir high-pitched roars seemed to express anger towards the intruders in their airspace.

nThe Sea Crystal Wynn group clashed with the Stormwing Wyverns, engaging in fierce combat in the air.

nAs Ji Chen observed the battlefield from the ground, he suddenly blinked, and a deep blue Water Shield quickly formed in front of him.

nJust half a breath later, a white bone claw suddenly emerged from the air in front of him and struck the Water Shield violently, creating intense ripples.

nAt the same time, at various positions on the battlefield, evil demon heroes with sinister auras suddenly appeared from the air and launched attacks on other unit types.

nThe failed demonic assassins immediately returned to the spatial dimension and reappeared not far away. They watched Ji Chen with a calm demeanor, but there was some annoyance in the eyes of the legendary-tier demon assassin.

nHowever, it was more of a sense of dread.

n!!..

nFrom the brief skirmish just now, he could feel the vast power contained within this human.

nWhen did such a young powerhouse appear among humans?

nHe possessed the same spatial assassination skill that their demon assassins, who took immense pride in their expertise, had perfected over the years. Having such a talent at a young age suggested that he could potentially accomplish remarkable feats in the future.

nA strong sense of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

nThis individual was terrifying; he had to be eliminated!

nThe human in front of him seemed to have thought of something. A sly grin crept onto the edge of his lips, causing the demon assassin to pause briefly, a shiver running down his spine, before swiftly vanishing through space.

nIn just half a second, a pair of giant claws swept across the spot where he had been standing a moment ago.

nJi Chen looked at the missed strike of Herald with a hint of regret.

nThis demon assassin’s awareness was quite impressive.

nThe demon assassin had an ominous expression as he reappeared in the distance. He looked at Herald with growing anger. His arm had been severed by this Naga hero earlier, and although it had already regrown, the phantom pain of the severed limb still lingered.

n“Sea clans, why are you violating the trade contract by helping elves and humans? If you were to…”

nHerald made no response. His wings suddenly vibrated, and he lunged forward, causing the demon assassin to swallow the rest of his words. He hastily tore through space again and appeared dozens of meters away.

nHis gaze was extremely gloomy.

n“Damn it! Since you no longer abide by the contract, we have no need to be concerned. When I return, I will make sure to kill all those sea clan offspring to vent my frustration!”

nJi Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand.

nHerald pursued once more, moving like a phantom with the support of his wings, driving the demon assassin to run in all directions.

nIn a head-on battle, the Demon Hunter was no match for Herald. He could only continuously utilize his talents to shuttle around, searching for counterattack opportunities.

nJi Chen took a moment to look around. Alongside the legendary-tier Demon Hunter, hundreds of high-tier Demon Hunters appeared mysteriously on the battlefield. Their unpredictable attack methods posed a significant challenge to the Ocean Crown army. Unlike Herald, who could swiftly detect their movements, they could only passively defend and suffered considerable losses. However, with Anina and Benbo’s assistance, they managed to avoid immediate collapse.

nBut if things continued like this, the Ocean Crown army would suffer the most significant losses in the end.

nJi Chen nodded to Alice, who was following her closely. The latter understood and began casting a spell.

nThe song spread throughout the entire battlefield, and the enchanting melodies penetrated the demons’ ears like a malevolent charm. Their momentary distraction slowed down their evasive actions, resulting in dozens of high-tier Demon Hunters being slain on the spot.

nEven the legendary-tier Demon Hunter was somewhat affected, causing his dodges to be half a beat slower, resulting in three deep wounds on his chest, visible down to the bone.

nIt was only at this moment that he realized that the hero who had been standing by the human’s side all along, without ever taking action, was actually a Siren!

nIn this era of divine warfare, the reputation of Sirens was evidently more illustrious than it would be tens of thousands of years later. Their ability to control minds made countless races, including demons, dread and fear them.

nThis made him even more convinced that the sea clans had completely betrayed the trade and contract!

nHis murderous intent surged.

nWith Alice’s participation in the battle, the demons’ ambush plan completely failed. Under the constant disruption of the song, one high-tier Demon Hunter after another was slain, and the tide had turned.

nThe legendary-tier Demon Hunter could not help but feel a sense of retreat creeping into his heart.

nA legendary-tier Demon Hunter, actually fleeing twice in a single day before the same human. How embarrassing for a demon!

nHowever, if he didn’t leave, then all of his subordinates would be doomed here.

nHis eyes were filled with endless resentment, and he reluctantly said, “Full retreat!”

nHearing this, the other Demon Hunters were overjoyed and immediately tore open space to leave. Sirens were their natural enemies; as soon as the song began, they became clumsy and disoriented, feeling as though they were voluntarily offering their heads to the enemy’s blade.

nIt was too bizarre!

nIn just over ten seconds, the remaining Demon Hunters had disappeared, leaving behind a field of corpses.

nJi Chen shook his head slightly with some regret. If he could have kept these high-tier Demon Hunters, including the legendary one, it would have been a great gain.

nUnfortunately, the Ocean Crown army had no way to prevent the demons from traveling through space to escape.

nIn the distant sky, the remaining Stormwing Wyverns, seeing that the demons had retreated, or perhaps realizing that their purpose for coming was to divert the Sea Crystal Wyrms, also left. The demons had fled, and there was no longer any meaning for them to stay and fight. The remaining few fled the battlefield.

nBoth battlefields achieved significant victories.

nOf the Demon Hunters who came to ambush, three-quarters were killed, essentially crippling their forces.

nOver a hundred Stormwing Wyverns died, leaving only a meager twenty or so to escape. However, the Sea Crystal Wyrms also suffered some losses, roughly fifty casualties, resulting in a halving of their formation. Nevertheless, as both were Tier 6 units, a 1:2 exchange ratio still counted as a glorious battle.

n“Is it over?”

nTianshu and the others emerged from the underground bunker at the battlefield. They had the self-awareness to hide during the demon ambush, and the Demon Hunters didn’t bother with a few inexperienced humans, so they managed to survive.

nJi Chen looked at the demon hunter corpses on the ground. They resembled shriveled bodies, with black skin etched with eerie red patterns, wrapped around bones. Their heads were skull-like, with a single horn.

nThey looked incredibly grotesque.

nAs if recalling something, he asked, “Why is it that outside of this dungeon, there don’t seem to be any demons in the world?”

nThat’s right; it was only now that he realized there were indeed no demons outside, as if demon-type units didn’t exist in the world.

nTianshu smiled and explained, “I did some research on this before. Tens of thousands of years ago, during the Divine War, the camp of lawful deities and other forces of order emerged victorious, allowing the world to heal and recover. The deities of the savage deity camp were sealed and lost their whereabouts. The most evil deities from the chaotic deity camp, the dark deities, were eternally imprisoned in the depths of the Chaos Abyss.

nAs a result, along with their followers, including demons and many other extremely evil races, were all suppressed by the deities of order. That’s why there are no demons as a race outside.”

nJi Chen suddenly realized that this explanation made sense.

nTianshu gazed at the grim demon corpses and continued, as if still haunted by the past, “If creatures like these were to appear in the outside world, it would probably spark another war between good and evil in no time..”

n
