Chapter 644: Thunder Slash Breaks Defense

The first wave of Demon army's charge was suppressed back to the Abyssal Gate, but it only stalled for half a breath.

"Roar…"

A few roars laced with Fear Technique sounded from the other end of the passage.

The Demon army was instantly provoked, fear and madness mingling, making them even more reckless. Demons outside the Abyss are not truly killed; their souls return to the Abyss to revive, and their bloodthirsty nature and endless craving for slaughter drive more Demons to surge out like a breached flood.

Several towering Demon silhouettes appeared in the passage; they were all Great Demons.

The Bolt Gun kept firing.

The overwhelming majority of Demons were only low-level and Mid-stage; there were few high-level ones.

Each bullet shredded at least two to three Demons, and twelve Extreme Warriors formed an unbreakable front line.

However, Demons are also intelligent beings, and a commander was clearly behind them.

A few Great Demons first used ordinary Demons as meat shields; when they were halfway through the passage, the front Demons had been blown away, and they immediately activated protective measures, boosting defense, or relied on their sturdy bodies to press forward with the Bolt Gun, closing in on the Extreme Warriors.

Without Xikalius's order, half of the Extreme Warriors focused fire on the charging Great Demons.

At the front were a Heavy-armored Demon and a Bagula Demon.

The Bolt Gun pierced the Heavy-armored Demon's grotesque armor, sparks scattering, tearing holes that exploded inside; in just two or three seconds it reduced it to fragments. The Bagula Demon resembled a red gorilla over four meters tall; it was a Mid-stage Great Demon, with thick skin and boundless strength, but after being focused on by several Extreme Warriors, it fell in resentment several meters away.

Nevertheless, the two Great Demons still succeeded in drawing fire.

A large batch of Demons had already surged out of the Abyssal Gate; they did not all rush at the Extreme Warriors, but spread in all directions. The flying Kasi Demon, Horned Demon, and Fro Bird Demon let out triumphant shrieks, rising like a dark cloud.

The Extreme Warriors fired skyward, but the area was too vast to clear all at once.

The Demon army's strategy worked, and more Demons swarmed out.

The scene was on the brink of spiraling out of control.

"Sergeant, we're here!"

Another team of Extreme Warriors hidden in the villa arrived in time, increasing the Bolt Guns to twenty-four, spouting flames; in an instant they blew up a dozen or so stray demons in the sky, then swivelled the barrels and together forced the Demon army back into the Abyssal Gate passage.

Among the two Extreme Warrior squads, an odd fellow had slipped in.

Bo Erqi, transformed into a humanoid and clad in light-forged holy armor, wielded a Bolt Gun, spitting out Explosive Shells one after another, shouting, "Wahaha... haha... this is really awesome!"

The Golden Three-Headed Dragon had received a Bolt Gun from Lei En a few months ago; it occasionally fired it for practice, reluctant to waste ammunition, and today finally had a chance to indulge.

Just pulling the trigger delivers massive damage, hardly consuming any stamina or mana, far more satisfying than melee or casting.

Where the barrel pointed, Demons were blown into fragments.

It was a brand-new experience for a dragon, and it fell in love with it instantly!

Outside the manor, three foreign strongmen watched the scene, their eyes filled with apprehension.

If the Demon army hadn't restrained them, just these two Extreme Warrior teams could pose a huge threat; this soul gun's single-shot projectile is at most a three-ring spell in power, not lethal to a Legendary High-rank, but its firing speed and rate are unbelievably fast.

Its bullets are invisible and unavoidable; a handful of soul guns focusing fire can hit dozens of shots in a blink, equivalent to being bombarded by dozens of three-ring spells.

Even the strongest defenses and shields can't hold out long.

When they drafted the plan earlier, they thought the Abyssal Gate was superfluous and overly vicious, likely to bring disaster to Nuosiruier; could a few of them really still fear they couldn't kill a Legendary Mid-stage battle Wizard?

Now they secretly rejoice that the Demon army draws the Extreme Warriors' fire.

Sure enough, the enemy knows each other best.

"We must cause them some trouble," the voice of the hidden Breaker Nasur sounded, lest we wait for these barbarians to free their hands, making killing the target harder.

He is experienced dealing with gunmen; just getting close and denying them a chance to fire suffices.

Kegulu healed the wound on his chest, hefted his great axe, waiting for Nasur to leap behind the Extreme Warrior crowd, then he would charge forward to slash.

Kitolov shook his head, "It's too late."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ruins on the villa's second floor exploded; a tall man with silver giant wings on his back leapt into the air, diving at high speed toward the three at the manor. Then the second, third, fourth... nine identical Lei En appeared, their mithril twin wings vibrating as they rose into the sky, encircling from all angles.

"Mirror Image!"

Nasur let out a cold snort.

They were already prepared for Lei En's Mirror Image, unlike the Bimon Priest and Heroic Spirit Fighter who leaned toward the Breaker, entering his anti-magic field.

Mirror Image is also magic; like summons, it cannot function within an anti-magic field.

Once inside an anti-magic field, it disappears.

Lei En's eight Mirror Images each halted, or turned direction, going to help the Extreme Warriors block the Demons bursting out of the Abyssal Gate.

Only one Lei En did not cease its dive; it was his true body.

Lei En raised his war hammer and holy sword, lightning flames coiling around the hammerhead and blade; his massive body loomed like a hill crushing down. When he entered the anti-magic field, the multiple constant spells and defenses on him vanished instantly, but it did not affect this earth-shattering strike.

Just before landing, his body suddenly swelled to five meters tall!

Second-tier Titan divine power, thirteen-tier strength augmented by Blood Frenzy and battle music, the sheer downforce alone generated a gust that made the three on the ground gasp in suffocation, their faces turning pale.

Facing it head‑on is tantamount to courting death.

"Scatter!"

Nasur shouted, activating rapid sprint and phantom step, fleeing outward at full speed.

Blood Elf Breakers evolved from Elf Rangers; besides suppressing casting, they wield superb swordsmanship, aided by various mobility techniques and extreme speed to close on casting targets, delivering a fatal blow with their double‑headed war blades.

Nasur's swiftness reached level ten; he was the fastest among the three, flashing dozens of meters away in an instant.

The Bimon Priest and Heroic Spirit Fighter weren't that fast.

The trio fell out of step, the distance widened, and the two behind were exposed outside the anti-magic field.

Boom!

Giant-like Lei En landed, his war hammer smashing the ground into a dent, causing the entire manor to tremble.

The earth shivered, cracking open spiderweb‑like fissures while massive arm‑thick lightning erupted. Countless bolts mingled with the sky‑filled lightning flames, forming a several‑meter‑high shockwave that instantly caught up with the slower Orcs and Heroic Spirit Fighter, engulfing their silhouettes.

The power of this strike was comparable to an eight‑ring lightning spell.

For a moment, both of their backs were scorched by lightning and flame; the Heroic Spirit Fighter's ice‑bound fiery aura could still resist briefly, allowing a timely entry into the anti‑magic field.

But Priest Bi Meng's steel body had almost no resistance to lightning, and his whole body went numb at once; even a fraction slower, he fell alone at the very back.

The most deadly thing is that the beastman lacks the protection of an anti‑magic field.

The Mirror Image soaring in the sky, as if having foreseen it, locked onto the beastman's casting half a second early and instantly hurled an Electric Blast Orb.

Lei En's Electric Blast Orb has risen to Seven‑Ring; even though the Mirror Image is only at half power, after the amplification of four lightning forms and three lightning affinities, the half‑power Orb is comparable to an Eight‑Ring Spell, enough to pose a lethal threat to the beastman.

Five clusters of Electric Blast Orbs, each as big as a basket, shot down from the heavens, leaving no blind spot in their direction.

The Spellbreaker thought inwardly that things were not looking good.

His reaction was extremely swift and precise; he immediately turned back and slashed a "Flash Sword Cut" at the beastman—not to attack his comrade, but to return to the beastman's side as fast as possible, letting the anti‑magic field cancel the Electric Blast Orb.

The anti‑magic field can suppress the enemy's magic, and one's own spells cannot be cast either.

So, even though he can teleport, he cannot use it.

He dare not remove the anti‑magic field to teleport either; the employer of this mission provided detailed information—Lei En possesses "Space‑Time Shock" and has an ability to interrupt casting comparable to the Spellbreaker's, so never cast in his presence.

Removing the sustained anti‑magic field would mean there is no chance to reactivate it.

Heroic Spirit Warrior Ji Tuoluo Fu also turned back with the Spellbreaker; with a booming sound, his fighting spirit erupted, and his deep‑blue great sword sliced out a blade of icy energy over ten meters long, vertical to the ground, as if to cleave Lei En in two.

Shhh!

A finer sword flash moved even faster, revealing the Spellbreaker's figure, who suddenly realized he was lagging.

Priest Bi Meng was seized by a massive electric claw and flew toward Lei En.

The Spellbreaker's anti‑magic field is vast, still enveloping the beastman; the incoming Seven‑Ring Electric Blast Orb was deflected by his kite‑shaped shield, causing the electric claw that grasped the beastman to vanish instantly, yet his body still flew backward involuntarily.

Lei En had already shrunk back down to three meters tall.

The Mithril Holy Sword in his left hand ignited an even hotter Lightning Flame; the blue‑white fire almost solidified, and he aimed at the beastman flying with his back turned, slashing both man and sword through.

Lightning Slash!

The Mithril Angel's strongest melee Element, now at level five, condenses Lightning Flame onto the blade, making it razor‑sharp, instantly unleashing terrifying destructive power.

This move resembles the Flash Sword Cut, but is faster and more powerful.

The Spellbreaker thought Lei En was about to slash him; his hair stood on end, and he could not spare a thought to rescue Priest Bi Meng, instantly withdrawing and flying away. He knew he was the key to this battle; if he died, Lei En would cast recklessly and everyone would perish.

Priest Bi Meng possesses a steel body; his defense is the strongest among the teammates and will not be easily cut down.

Electric flash boom.

The massive icy sword energy emitted by the Heroic Spirit Warrior was split in two, its freezing effect briefly hindering Lei En for a moment, but that was all. The beastman, hovering in mid‑air, flipped to face Lei En, sensing terrible danger and desperately swung his great axe to block.

The Mithril Holy Sword, like a dazzling bolt of lightning, was intensely condensed and solidly struck the beastman.

The beastman's great axe also cleaved Lei En's neck.

With a sudden clang, sparks flew everywhere.

The great axe lodged in Lei En's neck, penetrating several centimeters and wounding him, while Lei En's Mithril Holy Sword nearly gutted the beastman, spraying blood profusely.

Ke Ge Lu looked down and saw his exposed entrails, his face showing shock and pain.

Lei En's attack, however, did not cease.

With his right‑hand war hammer, he hammered the beastman's head; the beastman's steel body had been shattered by the Lightning Slash, its defense drastically reduced, and a legendary power triggered a fifth‑level destruction critical, smashing the beastman's skull into mush, the terrifying force causing the entire body to explode, leaving no bones behind.
