Chapter 105 – Road to Survival (Part ①④)

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"Jie-jie-jie-jie."

At the sound of the Nightmare Demon's eerie laughter, Wen Yu's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

Because among the corpses in the craters was the man the Nightmare Demon had been controlling!

"William, stay by Fina's side!"

William's reaction was by no means slow. Seeing the state of the corpse, he realized the situation immediately. He raised his greatsword and pulled Princess Consort Fina back, step by step, away from the Nightmare Demon and the Stone Demon!

"All Level 2 Class Holders, spread out! Get as far away from each other as possible! If you see anyone approaching you for no reason, restrain them immediately!"

This was the combat order issued by Jiang Wentao!

It was also the best way to deal with the Nightmare Demon's mental control!

The Nightmare Demon closed its eyes and sensed the surroundings carefully.

Then, an eerie mental ripple surged directly toward Princess Fina!

Crack.

A crisp sound rang out.

A crack abruptly appeared on the pendant around Princess Fina's neck!

"Oh, a mental attack defense item. No wonder!"

The Nightmare Demon had just tried to control Princess Fina, but was blocked by the item.

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, mental control doesn't have much impact on the current state of the battle. In that case, I'll just crush them with pure strength!"

As soon as the Nightmare Demon finished speaking, the Stone Demon beneath it launched a charge toward Wen Yu and One-Eye, appearing slow yet unstoppable!

Charge (D-Rank, Active Ability): Launches a charge toward a target at extremely high speed!

It was a very common ability, but when used by a Stone Demon, even the simplest attack would produce devastating effects!

Just like now, Wen Yu felt as if a mountain was madly pressing down on him. Wen Yu and One-Eye immediately split left and right, dodging the Stone Demon's attack!

Then, a massive fireball appeared right in front of Wen Yu!

"Phasing!"

He immediately activated his Phasing ability. The massive fireball passed through his body and exploded directly behind him!

Heat waves and shockwaves flew everywhere. Fortunately, Wen Yu was still in his phased state; aside from losing a significant amount of stamina, he didn't sustain any additional injuries.

Right after the Demonic Creature launched its attack, the personnel responsible for fighting it also launched their own attacks against the Stone Demon's massive body!

The only ones capable of participating in this fight were Jiang Wentao, Chu Ziling, Wen Yu, and One-Eye!

The first to attack was One-Eye.

Tyrannical Flame surged out as a massive pillar of fire blasted directly onto the Stone Demon's foot.

The immense power caused the Stone Demon to stagger. That wasn't all-the Tyrannical Flame clung to the Stone Demon's body and continued to burn, quickly melting the Stone Demon's leg!

"Boom!"

A Flame Burst rained down upon One-Eye's head, but One-Eye had no intention of dodging!

A red light flashed, and One-Eye's scarred figure appeared before the Nightmare Demon.

The Life-And-Death Combat Ability took effect!

The increase in Physical Attributes made the Tyrannical Flame even more ferocious!

Black demonic flames ignited directly on One-Eye's body as he charged madly toward the Stone Demon and the Nightmare Demon!

"Jie-jie-jie-jie, this is getting interesting!"

The Nightmare Demon let out a sinister cackle.

As the laughter faded, the Stone Demon beneath it underwent a change!

Although the Stone Demon looked clumsy, it was definitely not as heavy and slow as one would imagine when it came to combat.

Moreover, the abilities of the Stone Demon race could be described as eerie!

Rock Body (S-Rank, Passive Ability): Your body is formed by condensed rock, retaining only one core. The position of the core can be freely designated by the Host. Physical trauma is completely irrelevant to you, and you can freely absorb nearby rocks or sand to reconstruct your body!

And on the current battlefield, if there was one thing in abundance, it was sand-it was everywhere!

In less than a second, the Stone Demon's body was completely intact again!

That wasn't the end of it; the Stone Demon directly activated its third ability!

Split (A-Rank, Active Ability): Break apart your own body to split into several independent units. The strength of the split units is determined by the number of units created!

Watching the Stone Demon's twenty-meter-tall body shatter, it split directly into dozens of two-meter-tall Lesser Stone Demons.

Then, these Lesser Stone Demons rushed quickly toward Chu Ziling and the others nearby!

In the original spot, only a five-meter-tall Stone Demon remained!

Jiang Wentao shattered a Lesser Stone Demon in front of him with a single punch. Seeing the Lesser Stone Demon scatter only to quickly glue itself back together, he couldn't help but curse!

These little things could actually regenerate continuously!

Furthermore, these dozens of Lesser Stone Demons all had Physical Attributes of around 20 Points!

The swarm of Lesser Stone Demons quickly pounced on Chu Ziling and Jiang Wentao, who were trying to move forward. Although their strength wasn't great, their Immortal Body ability left the two men helpless!

By this time, One-Eye had already engaged the Stone Demon in battle!

One-Eye's sharp claws dug into the Stone Demon's body, directly crushing nearly half of its frame while the Tyrannical Flame spread rapidly!

"Boom!"

A flash of red light appeared.

The Nightmare Demon used another Explosive Flame Skill, blowing One-Eye back.

In the short time One-Eye was blown away, the Stone Demon had already extinguished the Tyrannical Flame on its body and reshaped itself!

"Whoosh!"

The sound of whistling air approached. Wen Yu exerted force with his legs from a distance, leaping over ten meters as the Greed's Touch on his right hand clawed fiercely at the Nightmare Demon atop the Stone Demon!

With a "bang," Wen Yu's attack was barely blocked by the Stone Demon's right hand.

After splitting, the Stone Demon's Physical Attributes had dropped significantly; its current Physical Attribute was only around 50 Points!

At the same time, One-Eye pounced forward again from nearby!

With Wen Yu and One-Eye working together, the Stone Demon and Nightmare Demon fell into a disadvantage!

For a time, flames and cold light flew across the battlefield where Wen Yu was fighting.

Meanwhile, the positions of Jiang Wentao and the others underwent some subtle changes.

The Lesser Stone Demons that had originally surrounded Jiang Wentao and Chu Ziling quickly scattered. Only five remained to entangle the two of them, while the rest rushed toward the Class Holders watching the battle from the sidelines.

However, Lesser Stone Demons with 20 Physical Attribute Points were considered weak even to the Class Holders watching nearby.

Aside from their Immortal Body being quite troublesome.

William swung a massive blade of light, quickly clearing the surrounding Lesser Stone Demons. He looked toward the center of the battlefield at the Stone Demon being ravaged by One-Eye and Wen Yu, and doubt couldn't help but flash in his eyes.

In its complete state, the Stone Demon's Physical Attribute was around 150 Points. Splitting into so many little things was equivalent to disguisedly lowering its own strength. Doing this made no sense at all!

Wen Yu, currently entangled with the Stone Demon and the Nightmare Demon, also couldn't understand the Stone Demon's reasoning for such a move.

Fortunately, he stopped thinking about it.

A ruthless glint flickered in the corners of Wen Yu's eyes.

Without any sealing abilities to suppress One-Eye's Fate Struggle, the two Demonic Creatures before him wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer!
