Chapter 54: Crisis Arrives Again. The Demon Prince-Tier Exotic Beast Has Been BornFike gazed at the King-tier Exotic Beasts before him that were hesitating, not daring to attack. He smiled lightly.
“Demon Slaying Light!”
With a flick of his right hand, another golden ray of light shot toward the beasts.
However, this time, the speed of the beam was much slower than before.
The beasts easily evaded Fike"s attack, and just as they were rejoicing…
The rope that bound the Earth players was split apart by the light.
The Earth players, who had now gained their freedom, were casted with the Divine Ascension spell as the Exotic Beasts dodged.
Their eyes lit up with a light that symbolized regained life.
Only then did the group of King-tier beasts realize that the slow beam of light had actually been a decoy.
Fike had pretended to attack them, but in reality, he was aiming for the rope that bound the captives together.
At this moment, the newly conscious Earth players looked at each other in dismay, so shocked that they couldn"t speak.
“Hey! Earthlings over there, I"ll hold these guys back. Quick, take the girl lying under the tree over there and leave.
“Get to Romon as soon as you can and send some reinforcements. I can"t hold them all off by myself! Go!”
The group of players quickly understood Fike"s words.
They mobilized. fleeing to the north behind Fike.
While they retreated, the King-tier Exotic Beasts suddenly began to riot, enraged.
However, Fike parried every attack that they aimed toward the fleeing group of captives.
In a few moments, Fike and the 14 beasts were the only ones remaining in Miracle Forest.
[Hidden Information: Warning! Warning! Warning! The King-tier Exotic Beasts have entered a state of fury. Their speed and physical attack power will be greatly increased. Pay attention to dodging! Pay attention to dodging!]
Suddenly, the forest was filled with low and terrifying sounds.
The beasts had begun chanting in some strange language.
Fike felt his limbs go weak abruptly, and his mind blanked upon hearing the strange sound.
"Is this the power of the Black Demon Soul Charm? It"s extraordinary indeed!”
Mustering up all his strength, Fike quickly placed his right hand on his chest.
“Divine Ascension!”
The negative effects that had been poisoning his body disappeared in an instant. He looked up once again, staring down the group of King-tier Exotic Beasts with a fierce gaze.
At this, the group of beasts stopped chanting immediately.
Seven of the Exotic Beasts suddenly flashed in front of Fike"s eyes, while the other four flashed to surround him on his left, right, and back.
Amidst the clash of swords and sabers, the ear-piercing screeches of friction rang out.
It was a while before the creatures realized that Fike had somehow evaded in the midst of the chaos and reappeared not far away.
The group"s first attack had missed, but now the second one would not be so simple.
Just as the King-tier Exotic Beasts made some adjustments and prepared to launch the second round of their fierce offensive…
Fike chose to counterattack in advance.
Numerous beams of light erupted, darting at the Exotic Beasts one after another.
A few of the more spread out creatures managed to dodge the dazzling beams of light.
As for the seven Exotic Beasts that had been preparing to launch themselves at him directly again, because they had limited s.p.a.ce to dodge, they were all hit, more or less injured to a certain extent.
However, these King-tier Exotic Beasts did not attain their statuses by being complete fools.
Their second attack wouldn"t be the same as their previous group attack.
a.n.a.lyzing the formation of the beasts, Fike decided that he would have to fight them one by one.
The three King-tier beasts in the lead pounced on him as they raised their st.u.r.dy bone blades.
Fike dodged backward with difficulty, but there were already four more behind him, waiting for a chance to strike.
Realizing this, he turned his body to dodge at the last second.
Unfortunately, the blades coming from all directions couldn"t be so easily evaded.
As he landed, Fike found that his arm had been cut by the sharp blades.
Blood flowed from his arm to his fingertips, before dripping onto the dry ground.
He did not have time to catch his breath. Three more King-tier Exotic Beasts charged at him.
As he relentlessly dodged the neverending attacks, Fike was gradually acc.u.mulating more and more injuries.
Although he tried to counterattack along the way, the number of times that he actually managed to land a hit on one of them was far less than the number of injuries he received.
Fike leaped up at this moment, seemingly jumping right into a blind spot.
The Exotic Beasts seemed to have noticed this, and were keen to seize the opportunity as they swarmed up like bees.
Fike smiled weakly.
“Hahaha, you"ve fallen into my trap, you d.a.m.ned creatures…”
Fike cast the Baptism of Holy Light on himself while he was in the air. When his toes touched the ground, energy was already gathering at his forehead as he once again let loose a ray of light that seemed to be even more blinding than the ones before.
“Demon Slaying Light! Go to h.e.l.l!”
The group of beasts had no time to react to his words at all.
A huge, dazzling golden beam of light shot towards the swarm of King-tier Exotic Beasts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ray flashed, and the King-tier scout beast was left standing at the front of the group, heavily injured. Almost half of its body had been decimated by the beam of light.
However, despite being severely injured, the scout didn"t fall. It"s speed was just much slower than before.
The other King-tier Exotic Beasts were also injured to varying degrees.
Fike noticed that the strongest beast of the lot did not seem to have been affected by the attack at all.
The blood stains that marked its body had come from its companions.
"Even something of this level can"t hurt it?"
Fike looked at the leader in surprise, at a loss for what to do.
Suddenly, the strongest creature began to attack its companions.
Fike watched on in disbelief.
Rather than calling for an attack, it was biting and devouring the other King-tier Exotic Beasts.
He also realized that the ones being devoured did not seem to be making any efforts to resist.
It even looked like they were enjoying the process.
He stared in horror as the beast that had been leading the group grew larger and larger. Suddenly, it even grew another head.
[Hidden Information: Extreme Danger Warning! Extreme Danger Warning! Extreme Danger Warning! A Demon Prince-tier Exotic Beast is about to appear. Please evacuate immediately! Evacuate immediately!]
The beast had just finished devouring the last of its compatriots.
Now, a third head emerged from its neck.
Fike stood stunned as the monstrosity finally completed its evolution.
A monster taller than the city walls now stood before Fike"s eyes.
He barely had time to dodge. As the mutated beast brought down its foot, the ground trembled, as if shattered by the weight of the creature.
"The final battle is coming!"
Fike hurriedly leaped onto the tree behind him, preparing for the final a.s.sault.
