Chapter 63 – Instant Kill!
Volume 3: Rising Winds and Clouds
Not far ahead of One-Eye, a horde of Demonic Creatures was slowly advancing.
Their pace was slow only because they had to accommodate the vast numbers of low-level Demonic Creatures among them.
At the very front, a Bull Demon nearly eight meters tall brandished a bone battle-ax, mooing incomprehensibly as it marched.
At the Bull Demon's urging, the low-level Demonic Creature behind it pushed themselves to hurry forward.
…
When Wen Yu rode One-Eye into sight of the horde, the Level 4 Bull Demon leading them spotted him as well.
The Bull Demon unleashed a thunderous roar.
At its command, the formation of the entire Demon Race army began to shift!
The low-level Demonic Creature at the rear, struggling along on their stubby legs, roared and charged toward the location indicated by the Bull Demon.
That was where Wen Yu stood.
Unfortunately, none of them possessed the eyesight of a Level 4 creature. They could not even tell which general direction Wen Yu was in! The seemingly endless tide of Demonic Creature made an impressive spectacle once it began to move, but the charge itself was completely chaotic.
Wen Yu watched the motionless Bull Demon in the distance and nodded slightly.
"Not a bad number…"
There were roughly ten thousand Demonic Creatures in total.
Ten thousand might not sound like much, but when the term described creatures that were each at least half as tall as a human, the number became terrifying!
A dense, dark mass of Demonic Creatures roared and charged in Wen Yu's direction. Some were fast and others slow, but together they shook the entire earth. With Wen Yu's eyesight, he could even see the gravel on the ground ahead bouncing nonstop.
"Xing, fly over there and kill that Bull Demon."
As soon as Wen Yu gave the order, Xing launched himself from atop his head and instantly expanded!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying Demon Dragon twenty meters long, with a wingspan of thirty meters, roared toward the Level 4 Bull Demon amid the horde!
"ROAR!"
The tremendous sound wave instantly killed the flying Demonic Creature attempting to intercept Xing. Like a black meteor, Xing crossed the distance of nearly ten thousand meters in less than a minute!
As the creature before it rapidly grew larger, a bloody gleam flashed in the Bull Demon's eyes!
Berserk (Rank B, Active Ability): Upon activation, increases Physical Attribute by thirty percent for one minute. When the Skill ends, the user enters a thirty-minute weakened state, during which Physical Attribute falls to half its original value. The Skill can be activated again once the weakened state ends.
It was an extremely practical ability meant for fighting to the death. Perhaps sensing the terrifying power radiating from Xing, the Bull Demon activated the Skill without hesitation.
Then, with a deafening roar, the Bull Demon swung its battle-ax at Xing's head!
Clang!
A crisp metallic ring echoed through the air. With his incredible reflexes, Xing blocked the Bull Demon's battle-ax with a single claw.
Then he applied a little pressure, curled his claw, and flicked!
The tremendous force instantly warped the Bull Demon's battle-ax and sent the sturdy weapon flying from its grasp. The Bull Demon itself staggered under the impact!
Then a massive maw lined with razor-sharp teeth descended over its head!
Crunch!
Blood sprayed through the air…
Before Xing, the Level 4 Bull Demon had not even managed to fully activate its Skill. It could not withstand a single move before Xing bit off its head.
Only then did Xing complete his dive, slamming into the ground like a colossal cannonball!
Terrifying shockwaves erupted in every direction, hurling sand and stones like cannonballs and riddling the surrounding low-level Demonic Creatures with holes!
Such was the terrifying might of a Demon Dragon!
…
From a distance, Wen Yu watched Xing stand beside the Bull Demon's corpse, roaring to his heart's content as he reveled in his victory. Wen Yu shook his head helplessly.
Xing had one minor bad habit: he always liked to stand beside his opponent's corpse and roar at the heavens!
And once he started, he would keep roaring for dozens of seconds…
It was a bad habit. He needed to break it.
Wen Yu patted One-Eye's massive head, then flipped off his back and landed on the ground.
One-Eye had been itching for action for ages!
Unlike Xing, One-Eye did not have any bad habits. Perhaps the harsh environment he had grown up in had taught him that killing every last enemy as quickly as possible was always the right choice. He lowered his head and charged straight toward the approaching horde of Demonic Creatures.
Black flames surged wildly around One-Eye, enveloping his body like an enormous shadow and radiating terrifying heat!
The first to reach him were several fast-moving attackers classified as Level 3 Demonic Creatures!
But before they could even attack, One-Eye's Tyrannical Flame had already inflicted devastating damage on them!
The black flames seemed alive, constantly leaping from One-Eye's body and condensing into razor-sharp spikes that shot toward the approaching Demonic Creature!
One-Eye had developed this application of his ability after observing how Fake One-Eye had once wielded Tyrannical Flame!
At that moment, One-Eye was like a gigantic weapons platform, the black flames around him firing projectiles without pause.
An early-stage Level 3 Demonic Creature could not withstand even a single hit!
Even those at Peak Level 3 received One-Eye's special attention. Spikes of black flame poured out like a Gatling, and the overwhelming barrage instantly engulfed every Demonic Creature that tried to resist!
Once the dust settled, all that remained was a faintly gleaming Magic Crystal!
Seeing One-Eye launch his attack, Xing finally stopped celebrating his victory. He opened his jaws, and crimson fire churned within.
A massive pillar of flame erupted from Xing's mouth. Then he spun in a full circle.
The crimson pillar of Dragon Flame swept through a complete 360-degree arc.
The world fell silent…
Every Demonic Creature within five hundred meters of Xing was completely vaporized by the power of Dragon Flame.
About a second passed before a series of crisp clinks finally rang out!
It was the sound of Magic Crystals striking the ground!
…
Wen Yu frowned slightly as he watched the members of the Demonic Creature horde continue charging madly to their deaths despite the slaughter being carried out by One-Eye and Xing.
These low-level members of the Demonic Creature horde did not seem to understand fear or helplessness at all.
They simply rushed toward Xing and One-Eye one after another, only to be slaughtered en masse.
That state was terrifying.
Their utter disregard for death meant these Demonic Creatures could inflict tremendous damage. Wen Yu had nothing to fear from them, but for a low-level Class Holder, even a single equally matched Demonic Creature that felt no fear of death would be an exceptionally difficult opponent to defeat.
Wen Yu shook his head and dismissed the thought. He casually summoned Throb and killed a Demonic Creature that had strayed too close with a single shot. Then he issued his final command.
"Kill them all, quickly!"
