Chapter 86: Charge and Crash to Death

A silhouette leapt out of the burning car in midair, agile and swift; upon landing it rolled on the spot, extinguishing the flames on its body.

Bo Luo Ke got up in a scramble; part of his hair and clothing were singed, but he was not seriously injured.

Boom—

The car slammed back onto the ground, fragments scattered in all directions, nearly falling apart.

A tall figure crashed through the car body and burst out of the fire—it was Lei En.

His reaction wasn't as fast as Bo Luo Ke's, so he couldn't escape in midair; instead, he immediately activated the Shatterer's Enchantment, casting a layer of Ice Armor to block the flames.

Behind Lei En, Fu Li Da in silver‑white armor also escaped.

The armor, forged by the Church of Justice, inherently resists magic; the fire did little damage, but the blast's shockwave gave her internal injuries, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her steps became unsteady.

"Are you all right?" Bo Luo Ke asked anxiously.

Lei En didn't answer him, turned and rushed toward the car, dragging a person out of the fire while bearing Ice Armor—it was the driver.

He inspected the driver and shook his head regretfully.

The driver was an ordinary person, already blown to death.

A large crater, over half a meter deep, had formed on the road the car had just passed; the air still reeked of acrid fuel, clearly the work of Te La Wei Qi.

The violent explosion echoed across the dock.

Kai Nie Ji stepped down from the car behind them, his heart pounding with fear. If his own car had been in front, as a mechanic of modest physical strength, he might already be dead.

Seeing the wounded Fu Li Da, a bottle of potion appeared in his hand, and he said, "This is an intermediate healing elixir; drink it quickly."

Fu Li Da didn't refuse; after drinking the elixir, her pallid complexion recovered swiftly.

【8】 The four of them looked toward Warehouse No. 35.

Four people looked toward warehouse No. 35.

Te La Wei Qi must be inside; the bomb he buried in the road serves both as a defense and as a signal that enemies are approaching.

From here to the warehouse's main gate is over thirty meters; the ground before the gate is open, and no one knows whether more bombs are hidden.

Lei En asked, "Captain, what do we do now?"

Bo Luo Ke took out his communicator, checked the time, and said gravely, "In at most five minutes the chief commander will arrive; he can't escape."

"We're probably not going to have five minutes," Lei En's expression grew very serious.

Amid the sounds of all things, he heard a massive clamor from inside the warehouse—hundreds of voices, far more than just Te La Wei Qi.

Those sounds came from something unknown, speaking in strange, shrill language, full of chaos and evil, like a pack of frenzied, brutal beasts pushing and shouting; the whole warehouse felt like a long‑suppressed volcano about to erupt!

Bo Luo Ke and the others didn't understand Lei En's meaning.

Before they could ask, a rumble sounded, the warehouse gate was blown open, and a huge horde of demons surged out like a tide.

"Demon!"

Bo Luo Ke and Kai Nie Ji shouted in panic.

Even the usually composed Fu Li Da wore a shocked expression and instinctively cried, "God of Justice…"

The fastest to burst from the gate were several half‑person‑high demons.

They resembled hounds, entirely black, as if assembled from charred stones, with seams emitting red flames, massive fangs, eyes filled with twin pits of deep fire, running swiftly, leaving a trail of fire marks with their four claws.

Lei En recognized them as Sulfur Hounds, a low‑rank demon type.

Behind these Sulfur Hounds followed a dozen short figures, looking at first glance like goblins—tiny bodies topped with misshapen large heads, short horns on their heads, long noses, wide pointed ears on both sides, only a rag tied around their waists, waddling as they ran, emitting foul stench.

These were Lesser Imps, among the weakest yet most numerous low‑rank demons in the Abyss, occupying the bottom of the food chain.

Lesser Imps are pure chaos creatures; their intellect is low, their behavior illogical, driven only by feeding and destruction, and the only attack spell they possess is a fire‑ball shot from both hands.

The fire‑ball spell is very weak, not even a true circle spell, only slightly stronger than a trick.

However, Lesser Imps never fight alone; they swarm in hundreds, firing fire‑balls like rain, comparable to a four‑circle fire‑rain spell!

At this moment, the warehouse resembled a bottomless Abyss, with demons continuously spewing out.

In just a few seconds, their number exceeded thirty.

The Sulfur Hounds and Lesser Imps howled excitedly, sprinting outward like wolves starved for days, finally released from their chains and thrown into a flock of sheep.

Behind the warehouse door, even stronger demons were faintly visible, about to appear.

As the demons gathered, an evil, chaotic aura spread over the dock; workers in the distance saw the scene, let out sharp screams, and fled in panic.

"Spirit of Machinery!"

Kai Nie Ji stared dumbfounded and shouted, "Te La Wei Qi, what on earth did you do?"

"He opened an Abyssal Gate, probably leading to a layer of the Purgatory plane; these are Burning Demons, minions of the Lord of Darkness." Bo Luo Ke forced himself to stay calm and said quickly.

The Abyss consists of layered planes, among which four Great Evil Gods reside.

Each Abyssal Evil God controls dozens to hundreds of planes as its domain.

At the head of the four Evil Gods, the Lord of Darkness Yuke Suoen commands three types of demons: Destruction Demons, Burning Demons, and Shadow Demons. Each type has its own advancement system, wielding different powers, spread across different planes, fighting each other and climbing by stepping on corpses.

Burning Demons are a group born from flames, hailing from the extremely harsh Purgatory where nothing exists but stone and fire; everything is reduced to ash.

Their sole purpose is to incinerate all things in the world!

Bo Luo Ke inhaled deeply and shouted, "Kill these demons; we can't let them reach the city to murder and set fires. We only need to hold out a few minutes; the chief commander will be here soon."

His face was resolute, prepared to die here today.

Fu Li Da's long sword flashed silver, her gaze unwavering; she shared the same resolve.

Lei En said nothing, proving everything through action.

His soul force surged, consuming eight units of energy, and he released the Dragon Power Technique twice in succession.

A few seconds later, two phantom dragon heads descended onto Bo Luo Ke and Fu Li Da, surging their strength and coating their skin with shimmering dragon scales.

Feeling the overwhelming power within, they glanced at Lei En, eyes full of surprise.

Lei En's expression remained calm; he cast again, granting himself the Dragon Power Technique.

The three of them turned to Kai Nie Ji.

"Had I known, I wouldn't have come with you." Kai Nieji forced a bitter smile.

He had originally planned to retreat, but now, infected by the emotions of the three demon‑clearing squad members, he no longer hesitated, slipped his hand into the lining, touched something, and sparked his soul energy.

Bang—

A humanoid mechanical puppet over two meters tall materialized out of thin air, enclosing Kai Nieji inside.

The mechanical puppet was forged entirely of metal, clad in thick plate armor, wearing a heavy helm; the armor was painted red and white, resembling a massive steel knight, with a square backpack on its back that seemed to be its power source, spewing a thick white steam upward.

Its left hand grasped a massive soul‑gun, while its right hand held a great sword.

"Fight!"

Kai Nieji's voice came from within the mechanical puppet as he swung the great sword, his heavy body stamping deep footprints into the ground.

Lei En saw the mechanical puppet and instantly thought of many things, but now was not the time to be distracted; he turned to look at the warehouse doors.

The Demons split into three groups, the largest comprising more than half, charging toward this side.

Bang bang bang…

Bo Luo Ke and Kai Nieji opened fire, guns roaring; the three sulfur hounds at the front fell instantly, their bodies rolling forward.

Lei En squinted and launched a charge.

With a whoosh, his figure shot like an arrow from a bow, leaping dozens of meters in a blink, crushing the buried bombs along the way.

The blast wave couldn't catch Lei En; ignoring the explosions behind him, in the final step of his charge he slammed his foot into the ground, using the force to leap high and bring down a war hammer.

A sulfur hound bared its fangs, leapt into the air, and tried to bite the human.

Boom!

The Icebreaker struck the sulfur hound's head, instantly shattering its skull; a burst of frigid frost erupted, sweeping the area and hitting six other sulfur hounds, suppressing the flames back into their bodies, coating them in ice and slowing their movements.

Lei En took a deep breath, steadied his stamina, and immediately launched another charge.

"Ho…"

With a roar, a figure as fast as lightning appeared, swaying left and right in a strange way, adjusting direction while sprinting, striking precisely each frozen sulfur hound it encountered.

It was as if a high‑speed steam train ran them over; the six sulfur hounds were smashed into fragments, frozen flesh and burning blood splattering everywhere.

Lei En's figure materialized, instantly clearing a space behind him.

The whole skirmish lasted less than five seconds; almost all the sulfur hounds were eliminated, only one or two far enough away escaped.

Bo Luo Ke and Kai Nieji, still firing from behind, were both stunned.

Fu Li Da even stopped in her tracks involuntarily.

She wouldn't charge; the holy swordsman's speed wasn't fast either. She ran along Lei En's path, preparing to meet the enemy, but halfway through, the Demons were slaughtered by Lei En.

With such terrifying power and this combat efficiency, is he really a level‑one Wizard?

The three of them simultaneously thought of that.

Lei En didn't overthink; in his Soul Eye, demon souls flew toward him like moths to flame, all absorbed, and his energy surged wildly!
