Chapter 75: Queen of the Six‑Armed Serpent Demon

The Mages' downtime didn't last long, as they were startled to see the nearby timid demons display fearful faces and withdraw from the protective ward.

Looking toward the distant Abyssal Gate, a massive silhouette slowly emerged from the portal; the Abyssal Gate seemed agitated, its form becoming extremely unstable. The silhouette extended a huge hand, forced the Abyssal Gate open, and crawled out.

It was a terrifying creature over ten meters tall, resembling a hybrid of monkey and pig, standing on its hind legs, with a pair of absurdly small black wings on its back that nonetheless enabled it to fly.

A terrifying evil aura radiated kilometers the instant it appeared, surrounded by countless boastful demons that lifted it like a swarm of bats; the light mist summoned by Naimi Xisi vanished under the demon's dreadful aura as if snow melting.

"This is—"

Naimi Xisi's eyes widened, a sudden prickling on his scalp; the expansion speed of the Abyssal Gate exceeded his expectations, already allowing such a terrifying demon to manifest.

It was a senior officer of the Abyssal Army, a favored confidant of many demon lords—the Soul‑Judging Demon. In Juan Ce Long's memory inheritance, this Soul‑Judging Demon is described as evil, filthy, yet possessing decent combat power.

But note, these memory inheritances mostly stem from evaluations by ancient or primeval dragons! Even the weakest Soul‑Judging Demon can match a level‑14 professional! The massive Soul‑Judging Demon clumsily lifted its claw and, in profane Abyssal tongue, said, "Ah, what a wonderful scent, my stomach can hardly wait to taste the 'little cookie'—"

"Oh no, I can't yet; I still have a mission. The great Abyssal Will's task given to me truly gives demons a headache."

"Hmm, a Juan Ce Long? Looks truly delicious, I want to taste it—no! I can't! Completing the mission is paramount!"

The Soul‑Judging Demon resembled a schizophrenic patient, muttering back and forth; its chaotic will prevented any unified decision. Fortunately, Abyssal Power forced a choice upon it.

A flash of blue light streaked by, and the Soul‑Judging Demon instantly teleported to the front of the protective ward; a dozen timid demons were crushed into mush under its massive paw, yet the demon remained indifferent.

It carelessly reached for the ward, the golden‑white shield flashing a dazzling light in retaliation; the Soul‑Judging Demon recoiled in pain, letting out an angry roar.

"Roar!! Damn!! I hate this thing! Protective ward?! Such a trifle can't stop the great Ha Tu Er!"

The Soul‑Judging Demon raised a fist in fury; the sky erupted with wind and rain, a massive black thunderbolt struck the ward, and upon contact with the golden‑white shield exploded violently.

"Hmph, demons are foolish; the protective ward's power has no flaws—any attack from a chaotic creature can be blocked!" The Necromancer was initially startled by the Soul‑Judging Demon's terrifying appearance, but upon seeing the ward intact, leapt up to mock.

But Luo Si Li En's expression remained as calm as water.

Indeed the ward's power has no flaws, but it does have limits; enough attacks can shatter it.

In the next moment, the Soul‑Judging Demon clenched its fist in anger, slashed downward, and wave after wave of black thunderbolts rained from the sky, gradually blurring the golden‑white shield.

"How... how could this be!" the Necromancer's face turned pale.

The Enchantress Mage, desperate, said, "This is the Soul‑Judging Demon's true high‑level demon form; this 【Summoning Thunder】 can be released at will as long as it wishes, powered by Abyssal Power, no harder than a sneeze. We're finished."

Just as the protective ward was about to be breached, a crimson Mana pillar pierced the Soul‑Judging Demon's chest, leaving a bowl‑sized hole.

It paused, slowly turned its head, and the chest wound rapidly healed during the turn, fully recovering.

In front of it stood the small dragon it had abandoned earlier; the Soul‑Judging Demon opened its eyes in surprise, thinking it had gained an extra prize.

"Wait." The Soul‑Judging Demon seemed puzzled, sniffed the air, and its gaze toward Juan Ce Long grew strange.

"Why does the master's scent..."

Naimi Xisi didn't notice its confusion; instead, upon seeing the healed wound, he squinted, having witnessed the destructive power of twisted Mana, yet this demon remained completely unaffected.

"Ma Luo, you must hurry."

A black pentagonal star gem appeared in the void, its potent evil magic even drawing the Soul‑Judging Demon's attention; Juan Ce Long instantly activated the most powerful force of 【Darkest Moment】.

Spell‑infused Enhancement—【Higher‑Level Curse】! A comprehensive curse instantly fell upon the Soul‑Judging Demon, its power plummeting at a terrifying rate; its skin turned ashen and wrinkled, and its anti‑magic resistance was severely weakened.

But this was not the end.

Seizing the Soul‑Judging Demon's weakness, Naimi Xisi inhaled deeply; a surge of sky‑piercing red Mana erupted from his body. He frantically channeled Mana, countless Mana seeped from his scales outward, the magical sigils began to crack, the scales bled, and he let out a painful roar.

10 Mana—50 Mana—100 Mana—200 Mana—300 Mana!

Mana converged to its limit; any further would burst his body. The Soul‑Judging Demon's gaze shifted from indifference to terror; it bared its fangs, menacingly hanging over its own chest.

"Boom!!"

Mana itself makes no sound, but the manifestation of Psychic Ability warps reality, producing a strange ringing that fills every creature's ears; everything around fell silent, leaving only the mysterious rhythm of Mana.

A flood of crimson erupted from Naimi Xisi's chest, a three‑meter‑wide scarlet pillar shooting forth like a divine scepter, judging the filth before it.

The Soul‑Judging Demon unleashed a torrent of lost souls, flinging all manner of magical abilities from its body as if they were free.

Four‑headed Berserker Demons abruptly appeared before it under Spellcraft, forming a line between it and the pillar; ray after ray of 【Higher‑Level Dispel Magic】 shot from their hands, attempting to erase the force. Yet the massive twisted Mana was beyond the berserkers' capacity, and 【Higher‑Level Dispel Magic】 could not affect the Mana. The crimson Mana pillar, in the bewildered moment of the four berserkers, easily pierced their bodies, bearing countless 【Higher‑Level Dispel Magic】 rays toward the Soul‑Judging Demon.

"How... could... be possible"

The evil magic on the Soul‑Judging Demon made a final resistance, but the twisted Mana ultimately shattered the black magic; the demon's entire upper body was engulfed by the Mana pillar, the destructive force eroding it piece by piece until it turned to ash.

"Bang!"

The Soul‑Judging Demon's body below the chest collapsed with a thud, dirty green blood splattering everywhere; the timid demons screamed wildly, trying to rush in for a share, but Naimi Xisi instantly radiated massive Dragon Might, suppressing all the little demons.

"Hoo hoo."

Naimi Xisi gasped heavily, his body's excruciating pain tearing at his nerves; the Mind Gem continuously emitted Mind Power to soothe his mental wounds, but it was a drop in the bucket.

The twisted Mana's power was too wild and insane; wielding three hundred points of twisted Mana at once inflicted greater injury than when he previously controlled three hundred points of Mana.

He looked at the magical sigils on his scales with a painful heart; most had already crumbled, and it would take at least half a year to nurture them back to repair.

Naimi Xisi used Divination to probe the underground again; Ma Luo had by then finished carving the Rune. He knelt before the ward, his face pale, his hands marked with dozens of slash wounds, severe blood loss gradually clouding his consciousness.

"Ma Luo, don't sleep. You still have the final task to complete."

In a daze, Ma Luo seemed to hear that gentle female voice speaking to him.

"Final step: chant the incantation," Ma Luo weakly opened his mouth, his voice as thin as a cat's, repeating the mysterious female voice's words in his mind.

"KhlomaSummoeneRejector"

As the incantation activated, the Abyssal Gate seemed triggered, frantically trying to expand its form; one berserker demon after another fell from it, rushing toward the plaza at breakneck speed.

The black cocoon body also began to tremble unstably, as if about to burst, with cracks appearing across its surface.

At the same time, an evil voice, faint and lingering, sounded in everyone's ears.

"Fei Bo La Er. Fei Bo La Er, Queen of the Six‑Armed Serpent Demon. You shall return."

Naimi Xisi's complexion changed drastically; he hadn't expected this Abyssal ritual to have another purpose! The Abyssal Will was calling the demon named "Fei Bo La Er" back into its embrace.

The most terrifying part was that it was a six‑armed serpent demon! Every six‑armed serpent demon is born at level 18, a terrifying entity stepping into the pseudo‑legendary tier; this queen among them is at least a legendary‑level monster.

In the Multiverse's universal profession system, levels 18–20 are called pseudo‑legendary, the final baptism stage before ordinary beings reach true legend; after that, from level 21 up to 40, they are termed genuine legends.

Now, he must not only consider sealing the portal but also, after sealing it, how to deal with this massive entity that birthed the six‑armed serpent demon! Naimi Xisi spread his dragon wings, endured the excruciating pain, and cast the spell again; one after another, he summoned 【Radiant Mist】, covering the entire plaza, the highly condensed positive energy making everyone within the ward feel uneasy.

"Five minutes, just hold on for five minutes, don't let the gestating body of the Six‑Armed Snake Demon step even half a step out of the protective Spell Circle!" the dragon's admonishing voice was deafening.

The ocean of demons led by the Berserker Demon was already near, and Juan Ce Long's mighty Dragon Might aura subdued all the timid demons that approached, but the Berserker Demons were unaffected and surged into the mist at breakneck speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One cluster after another of Fireball was hurled by Juan Ce Long, causing violent explosions on the ground, and the crimson Mana beams continuously rained down on any Berserker Demon daring to step even half a step beyond the thunder pool.

Juan Ce Long's Spell Slots and Mana were being consumed at a terrifying rate, yet the demon army capable of easily wiping out a city was truly held back by him.

The Fourth‑circle Spell Slot was the first to be exhausted; the radiant mist, without replenishment, was gradually worn away by the evil light gathered from countless demons. The Third‑circle Spell Slot and Mana were also nearing depletion, and Naimi Xisi even resorted to using a large number of Second‑ and First‑circle Spell Slots to kill the small demons.

Deep underground, Ma Luo reached his final moment; various hallucinations began to appear before his eyes, countless terrifying demons charged straight at him, forcing him to abandon his chant. He remembered Naimi Xisi's warning, treated everything as illusion, and recited the final incantation word by word.

Intense pain spread; the hallucinations were false, yet they caused real pain. Ma Luo didn't even dare to moan, and hoarsely continued chanting.

"Don't go on, Ma Luo, don't you miss your master? As long as you stop, Fei Bo La Er will resurrect me."

"Ma Luo, accept the abyss's gift; I will make you the king of mortals, the ruler of life itself."

A coquettish woman's voice sounded, seductive and endless, but Ma Luo ignored it: ". LaDemonBanashy!"

The incantation completed at the very moment he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

"No!!!!" Somewhere faintly, a woman's scream rang through the whole De Gen City.

In the next instant, the heavens opened wide, and ten thousand demons shattered into fragments.

The reason the protagonist could previously summon massive creatures with Psychic Ability unharmed is that he cast that ability fifty times, rather than charging the Mana of fifty casts into a single ability.

Oops, the picture of the Soul‑Judging Demon was flagged as illegal, so you probably can't see it now. Too much embarrassment exposed a naked ape (End of chapter).
