Chapter 240: There Is No Such Thing as Perfection, Foolish Dreamers Speak

Enchantress Demon King used that Black Gem, opened a Space-time Portal, intending to summon a Lord-level Demon.

Undoubtedly, the Enchantress Demon King must have carefully screened before choosing this demon.

The Crimson Moon Demon does not have impressive attributes; it only has one Skill called "Infinite Thrust", a mass‑attack Skill.

It can lock onto a target, preventing evasion, forcing the target to endure it directly.

Fortunately its attack power is not especially strong; its Strength attribute is only 70,000, a bit lower than the Earth Touch Dragon God.

Its total attribute value is 270,000, which is still somewhat lacking compared to same‑level BOSSes such as the Soul-Eating Insect King.

Although the Crimson Moon Demon's total attributes are lower than other BOSSes, its special Skill makes it more dangerous and hard to deal with.

Yi Ning explained: "Lord-level Demons are elite Abyss Demons; they are scarce. Their presence is equivalent to a Lord-level BOSS, powerful and hard to handle. This Barrier has already merged with the Crimson Moon Demon; if we cannot kill it, we cannot escape here."

Jiang Chen roughly understood Yi Ning's meaning.

At this moment, the Crimson Moon Demon had fully merged with the earth, continuously launching attacks, leaving him at a loss.

But killing it easily is not simple.

Jiang Chen resolved, "I'll give it a try."

Two Skeleton Warriors braced against the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks and sprinted toward the Barrier Edge.

Even near the Barrier Edge, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks did not cease.

Obviously, the entire Barrier lay within the Crimson Moon Demon's attack range.

Skeleton Warriors released their burst Skills, striking the Barrier, however the

Barrier did not budge a hair.

Jiang Chen decided to recall the Skeleton Warriors to prevent needless injury.

A large swath of Black Light suddenly fell from above.

The Black Light, like a sharp sword, contained powerful Abyssal Power and rained down like droplets.

Unfortunately it lacked accuracy; most of it struck off target.

The demons above were not idle; they launched attacks from high altitude, but the distance was extremely far, beyond Jiang Chen's attack range.

They were clearly afraid of him, flying very, very high.

The Black Light also had poor aim, just slamming randomly.

If it hits, fine; if it misses, it doesn't matter.

On the ground stood the Crimson Moon Demon, while High-level Demons harassed from above; Jiang Chen and Yi Ning were attacked from front and back.

"These guys are really troublesome; we need to find a way to bring them down."

Jiang Chen whispered.

Yi Ning heard Jiang Chen's words: "My Summoned Beast has a Skill that can create a Void Suppression Effect for a short time."

"However, the duration is brief—only 30 seconds—cooldown is a full 10 minutes, and the range isn't large."

"If they are prepared…"

Yi Ning's meaning was clear: this Skill had only one chance.

It must be used while the opponent is unprepared to achieve maximum effect.

30 seconds...

Jiang Chen thought for a moment; it should be enough.

"Later, when I let you use it, you can speak," Jiang Chen whispered, "but not now."

"Alright." Yi Ning nodded immediately, already prepared.

Now the Crimson Moon Demon, merged with the earth, continuously attacked them.

Jiang Chen could not think of a countermeasure at once, so he could only try.

Red Light flashed.

Skill: Slow Curse!

A faint hum sounded.

In an instant, the spikes attacking him

slowed down.

Crimson Shackles appeared at the tips of the spikes.

Moreover, on the ground inside the Barrier, red shackles sprouted everywhere, dense and countless.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up; he understood instantly.

It wasn't that the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks were especially fast or accurate, but that it had too many attack points.

Thus, wherever he fled, he could not evade its attacks.

And each spike was affected by the Curse, as if each spike were an independent life form.

This land had already become the Crimson Moon Demon's body.

And he now stood inside the Crimson Moon Demon's body.

Jiang Chen, thoughtful, seemed to grasp something.

Peeling back layers, the true face of the Crimson Moon Demon was gradually being uncovered by him.

Under the Curse, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks had slowed considerably, and the pressure on Jiang Chen quickly lessened.

"Let's try it first."

An Undead Legion appeared.

Skill: Legion Enhancement!

All Skeletons simultaneously donned various enhancement states.

In an instant, a multitude of spikes emerged, attacking the Skeletons.

And the skeletons were also prepared, simultaneously unleashing their skills, their large blades carrying a red light as they slashed at the spikes.

Thump-thump-thump sounds rang out.

Broken stones flew everywhere.

At the same time, blue, glistening mucus sprayed out.

Faint screams could also be heard.

The blue mucus landed on the Skeleton Warriors, immediately producing a sizzling sound, like boiling water poured onto ice.

A large amount of green smoke rose, the pale golden bones were corroded, and the Skeleton Warriors were all injured.

The Lich General raised his staff high: Legion Healing!

The skeletons' injuries recovered rapidly, and then a second wave of spike attacks came again.

The Skeleton Warriors continued to counterattack.

The spikes were shattered again, exploding into even more blue mucus.

The Skeleton Warriors

were even more severely injured.

In just three seconds, after more than ten waves of attacks, the skeletons were already covered in blue mucus.

The corrosiveness of the blue mucus was extremely astonishing; the damage kept stacking, and the damage the Skeleton Warriors received had already exceeded the Lich General's healing speed.

The Skeleton Mages, who had not counterattacked, although they had been constantly enduring the spike attacks, actually suffered lighter injuries than the Skeleton Warriors.

Looking at the Crimson Moon Demon again, it seemed as if it hadn't been injured at all.

The number of Red Shackles hadn't decreased in the slightest.

Jiang Chen wanted to recall the skeletons, but found he couldn't.

Because the Skeleton Warriors had blue mucus on them.

A coquettish laugh came from the air; the Succubus Luluna wagged her tail and said, "We've analyzed your Skills. The Demon King Sir carefully selected the Crimson Moon Demon for you. Just slowly enjoy the pleasure of being killed."

Some of the Crimson Moon Demon's traits happened to counter Jiang Chen's skeletons.

Even if Jiang Chen had more skeletons, he would have no way to deal with the Crimson Moon Demon.

Yi Ning's expression was grave. "What do we do?"

Jiang Chen still didn't look anxious. "No rush, let's watch a bit more."

He had already noticed one thing: after the Undead Legion appeared, the Crimson Moon Demon's attack intensity had weakened.

It was about one-tenth less than before.

This change wasn't very obvious, but Jiang Chen clearly felt it through the pressure his Bone Armor was enduring.

"It seems that when there are more targets being attacked simultaneously, the attack power weakens."

His mind stirred, and another Undead Legion appeared.

The skeletons spread out appropriately, each occupying an area.

Counting the Lich General, there was another new target within the Barrier.

The Crimson Moon Demon launched attacks at all of them simultaneously.

Dense spikes burst out from the ground, stabbing into the skeletons.

But the attack

power...

"Sure enough, it decreased again."

As the number of targets increased, the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks were dispersed once more.

The corrosive effect of the mucus receded, and the Crimson Moon Demon's attacks weakened.

The Skeleton Warriors, who had been completely covered in mucus before, finally managed to recover.

Under the Lich General's repeated healing, their injuries rapidly healed.

The situation was finally stabilized.

Jiang Chen and Yi Ning were also constantly enduring attacks, occasionally having to reinforce the Bone Armor.

In the past, Jiang Chen wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.

But now, having absorbed 15 Soul Crystals, his Spiritual Power had greatly increased.

And having fused with the Soul Gem, his Spiritual Power recovery speed had increased by 100 times.

Plus, he was carrying a large amount of Earth Touch Dragon God Leg Meat.

Jiang Chen felt that holding out for a few more months wouldn't be a problem.

If he released all of the Undead Legion and had them share the damage together,

he estimated that holding out for another half a year wouldn't be a problem.

As for the Lich General...

This thing simply had no concept of Spiritual Power consumption.

Jiang Chen didn't even know what the Lich General's Skills consumed; it felt like there was no consumption at all.

The life-or-death crisis had been eliminated, and Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he needed to think carefully about how to deal with this Crimson Moon Demon.

There couldn't be a perfect monster.

Otherwise, the Human Race would have been finished long ago.

It definitely had a weakness; he just hadn't found the breakthrough point yet.

Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry; he was very patient.

Since you want me dead, then I'll fight a war of attrition and kill you first!
