Chapter 1160 - Ambush (1/2)
the group of demons kept nodding their heads, obviously all agreeing with that sentence.
the bone demon remained seated in silence, his eyes flickering.
‘damnit, that pureblood flame demon came out of nowhere and his leveling speed is terrifying. that guy must be the most remarkable pureblood descendant of some powerful flame demon overlord.
‘if that guy is killed, it would definitely give a pretext to that flame demon overlord to invade this world.
‘who knows how many times those lunatics with lava-filled brains used this kind of method.
‘they would use the fact that a pureblood flame demon was killed to invade this place and would only retreat after being pressured by our world’s greater demon overlord.
‘but at least half of this world would be assimilated into a world of volcanoes, and who could fight against flame demons in those domains?
‘ultimately, even if they didn’t succeed in smoothly occupying our territories, with their talents, our world would become a world of lava and volcanoes within a few thousand years.
‘but if we don’t get rid of that pureblood flame demon, my territory is going to be snatched…’
the bone demon was fidgety as he irritably got rid of a demon butler next to him. under him, birbo, who was covered in a layer of shadows, opened her mouth, “lord, that guy isn’t a descendant of a flame demon at all, i already figured out that he had been born in a volcano.
“he absolutely has no relation to a flame demon overlord.
“we only need get rid of that guy to solve our plight.
“lord only need to personally lead a team and attract the army’s attention. i’ll then use my assassination techniques to get rid of that guy and shift the blame on other demons.
“isn’t the territory to his east the territory of a shadow demon? even if there is something, we can just keep saying that it has nothing to do with us and that those stupid shadow demons violated the war rules of the abyss and got rid of that pathetic pureblood flame demon.”
birbo sneered as she explained her plan. sure enough, the greedy demon couldn’t refuse this flawed plan as long as he saw the benefits he would get.
birbo’s plan soon obtained the bone demon’s approval and the bone demon personally led an army to start an all-out war. as long as the plan was successful and he later got rid of birbo, the bone demon would not only take back his territory, he would even avoid potential retaliation.
the level 39 bone demon lesser overlord got into action and led all of his forces to attack lin yun’s territory.
the dozen officers within the steel fort also made a move. even if lin yun’s army was fearless of death like suicide squads, the frantic invasion was put to a stop. the abyssal armies had a huge number of losses, and the speed at which they lost people far exceeded the speed at which they replenished the army.
and with lin yun’s counterpart taking action, lin yun also had to give up his research. he had seen countless abyssal materials in the decaying library, but unfortunately, the current noscent only had a few kinds of abyssal materials.
only materials with a relatively high output like abyssal magic iron could be seen in noscent, and they were worth quite a bit.
a lot of mages didn’t know that something like abyssal magic iron was merely used as bricks to construct a lord’s steel fort in the abyss
as an alchemist, especially as an alchemist researching alchemy in the shape of a flame demon, this was a very annoying thing. now that he was interrupted, lin yun grew even more angry.
he led his territory’s abyssal army and majestically killed his way towards the border. his army was formed of an abyssal bear goblin army, an evil flame elemental army, a crawler army, and a reaper army…
even now, there was a huge army of imps and evil earth elementals, as well as some lesser demons, forming a caster army. the hundred thousand abyssal lifeforms formed a huge army, and as they moved forward with endless abyssal power covering the sky.
the terrifying auras converged together and it was even more formidable than an abyssal overlord’s aura. the chaotic legion charged and started a bloody melee.
the non-casting abyssal army was a mess, they were just clashing in a big melee. whichever army died the fastest would lose.
numerous abyssal blood crows were fluttering over the scorched black plain, and a large amount of decaying lifeforms seemed to have turned the earth into a terrifying meat grinder. there would be a few dozen to a few hundreds abyssal lifeforms being torn apart every few seconds.
meteors covering the entire sky were falling onto the battlefield. poisonfire, black ice, and black smoke were covering most of the battlefield without a single bit of order.
there was no demon that would wonder how many people belonged to his side on the battlefield, as long as they saw the opponent’s army, spells would fall indiscriminately.
a two-meter-big flaming meteor fell among a dozen excited reapers and crawlers.
six reapers roaring and slashing at each other were smashed by the meteor and instantly transformed into a pile of fragments that were spread around by the shockwave. over forty abyssal lifeforms were torn apart, and over twenty of them received serious injuries.
no one cared how many belonged to the opposing army, after the power of the meteor dissipated, the surrounding abyssal army was once again replenished and those twenty injured guys were killed.
a crawler devoured those corpses’ heads before returning to the battle, completely ignoring the fact that many of these corpses had been “allies”.
in the chaotic and messy battlefield, this was a harvesting ground for reaping lives. the environment in the abyss was extremely harsh and many of the resources were scarce.
but the abyssal lifeforms’s breeding ability was completely inconsistent with the environment. in order to consume large amounts of cannon fodder, every adjacent territory was war ready.
no one wondered why sometimes a war border wouldn’t change for decades, or even centuries.
in the chaotic battlefield, even more powerful lifeforms were thrown in this terrifying meat grinder. by the time the deep red scorching sun rose once again, both sides’ leaders finally appeared on the battlefield.
a seventy-meter-tall bone demon appeared in front of the abyssal army, his entire body covered in thick and sinister bony outgrowths. his body was only made of joints and blade-like sharp bone blades.
his thick demonic horns were filled with pitch-black smoke, which was formed by the concentration of dense abyssal power.
“stupid flame demon, you have made a grave mistake. now get the f*ck back to your territory and i’ll forgive your sins for the sake of the flame demon overlord.
“otherwise, you’ll learn how stupid it is to provoke a bone demon on the verge of reaching the heaven rank. i can replace the flame demon overlord to teach you a lesson since you don’t know how deep the abyss is.”
the bone demon angrily shouted as he approached, apparently wanting everyone to see that he didn’t want to provoke the flame demon overlord and only wanted to get his territory back..
lin yun could feel that he was somewhat affected by the body of the pureblood flame demon as he became more irritable and angry. seeing this guy before his eyes, he remembered having almost grasped the power of the flame demon to do alchemy experiments, until that guy caused him to lose control and burn down his laboratory.
lin yun slowly walked out of his army, scalding lava continuously dripping down his body. as he released his demon body, lin yun instantly reached forty meters and the lava under his feet rose like waves.
the terrifying heat spread to the surroundings and the air became distorted.
“fool, you are full of sh*t.”
a four-meter-big sphere of lava was thrown out of lin yun’s hand and ruthlessly smashed onto that bone demon’s body. the burning hot lava flowed down the body of the bone demon and his large white eyes popped out as the bone armor covering his body became somewhat charred.
the bone demon flew into a rage, the flames burning within his eyes suddenly rose and the dense black smoke transformed into angry demonic skulls that shot towards lin yun.
