Chapter 246 - 114 Seconds (1/2)

20th September.

In a dilapidated county city in Hu State, several plumes of smoke rose into the sky. This county city only had a population of about 20,000 people, and they all hid in the underground tunnels as per normal protocol.

A cat demon wantonly ma.s.sacred humans.

About half a kilometer away from the cat demon monarch was a dilapidated restaurant. From afar, five demon monarchs watched the scene on the top floor.

“The cat demon is busy ma.s.sacring humans. A G.o.dfiend team will soon arrive. We will cast forbidden spells the moment we take action,” said the skinny leader in a deep voice.

“Archean Mountain’s G.o.dfiend teams are very powerful. They have excellent teamwork. Brother, isn’t the time limit of 150 seconds a little too short? Why don’t we increase it a little? How about 240 seconds?”

“That’s right. Once 150 seconds are up, we have to retreat. That’s too little time! Last time, we killed a G.o.dfiend. The remaining three G.o.dfiends were clearly much weaker. If we had spent another 30 seconds attacking them, we would have definitely wiped them out. However, you still want us to retreat after 150 seconds are up. We have been in the human world for more than a year, but we only managed to kill one Great Solar G.o.dfiend.”

“Fool! Brother is being careful. Only by being careful can we live long. Once a Marquis G.o.dfiend arrives, we won’t be able to escape,” retorted a demon monarch.

“In the human world, survival is of utmost importance,” said another demon monarch.

The skinny leader looked into the distance with his dark yellow eyes. He indifferently said, “You have to listen to my orders if you’re in my team. No matter how tempted you are, you have to retreat after 150 seconds are up. This is my rule.”

“They’re coming.”

“The G.o.dfiends are here.”

The five demon monarchs saw a huge bird flying over from afar. Four G.o.dfiends jumped down from the sky.

“It’s a Great Solar G.o.dfiend team. Attack,” ordered the skinny man.

In the human world, there were very few elite demon monarch teams. These elite demon monarch teams consisted of the 300 elite demon monarchs that Demon Sage Nine Abyss had personally received when they entered the human world. Over a hundred elite demon monarch teams were formed and scattered throughout the human world. There were only a few dozen elite demon monarch teams in each dynasty’s territory. Every elite demon monarch team was extremely cautious and wouldn’t take action easily.

If they saw a Marquis G.o.dfiend arrive, they would immediately burrow into the ground. Some demon monarchs were adept at escaping underground.

This five-man elite demon monarch team would only attack when a Great Solar G.o.dfiend team arrived.

Pfft.

The cat demon monarch fled in panic, but a sword beam killed it. The cat demon monarch was split in half, and the corpse fell into a ruined building.

At that moment, five figures suddenly attacked the G.o.dfiend team from hundreds of feet away. At the same time, red mist permeated a half-kilometer area and enveloped the four G.o.dfiends.

“Not good. Request for reinforcements.” The G.o.dfiend team was very experienced. They immediately requested for help. At the same time, they cast forbidden G.o.dfiend spells and resisted the attacks.

They did not seek success; they just hoped for n.o.body to make a mistake. Based on experience, Archean Mountain’s G.o.dfiend teams were generally weaker than elite demon monarch teams.

Although there was usually one person in a G.o.dfiend team that had the strength of a weak Marquis G.o.dfiend when they went all-out and the G.o.dfiends worked well together, the elite demon monarch teams were still stronger. In an elite demon monarch team, typically, two demon monarchs had the strength of a weak Marquis G.o.dfiend. Some also had strong divine powers.

“They will naturally retreat after we hold on for a bit longer.”

“If they don’t retreat, a Marquis G.o.dfiend will arrive.” The G.o.dfiend team was very confident in their chances of survival. They didn’t wish to kill their enemies; they just wanted to stall for time.

In a situation where the strength difference wasn’t too great, there was some hope of stalling for enough time.

“Kill!” The five demon monarchs went completely mad.

The leader, the skinny demon monarch, transformed into an illusory shadow as he attacked crazily and strangely. A bear demon monarch brandished his axe and cleaved down. The other three demon monarchs also executed various attacks.

“Ah, the leader of this elite demon monarch team is too fast. Its claws are too ruthless.” A dual-wielding G.o.dfiend resisted with great difficulty. A wound appeared on his arm. The robe bestowed by Archean Mountain had been torn. It showed how powerful the demon monarch’s claws were. “My right arm is injured. I can’t last much longer.”
