Chapter 770 - Tier-7 Divine Sword"s Attraction
Puchi!
The Three-Headed Serpent Arch Demon attempted to slap away the Tier-3 Bone Spear with its tail, the toughest part of its body but injured by it instead.
"Arghh, what the h.e.l.l!" Teshafir cried.
He quickly glanced at his tail and noticed that the Tier-3 Bone Spear, although not deep, had penetrated his tail"s defense.
"How did he break your defense with a Tier-3 weapon? It shouldn"t be possible with a Tier-4 weapon!" Lord Kaligan exclaimed with wide eyes.
"How the f*ck would I know?" Teshafir glared at the Evil Eye Arch Demon and replied, "Don"t you think I also want to know that, Lord Kaligan?!"
"Well, at the very least, you got hurt by the person"s weapon, so you should be able to understand something about the person"s attack, no?" Kaligan retorted.
"This…" Teshafir frowned before saying, "This person"s power is clearly lacking, but he has an ability that can breach our defenses."
"Nevertheless, his attacks also expend a lot of energy! He won"t be able to keep this up for—"
Suddenly, Teshafir froze as he watched Leon draw in the surrounding dark energy in the sky like a black hole with a bottomless appet.i.te, swallowing anything and everything.
"Dammit! He"s refueling himself! How can he have such a powerful energy-gathering ability?! Did n.o.ble demons have such monstrous talents?!"
Teshafir was in disbelief.
To the Arch Demons, Leon"s existence was a never-before-seen anomaly without any apparent weakness other than his low cultivation.
His recovery speed was simply beyond their common sense.
"Dammit, he"s going after the Greater Demons again! He"s completely treating the Greater Demons like renewable energy sources! We have to stop him!" Kaligan shouted.
If they let Leon continue to recover his stamina to fight them in peak conditions, they will be exhausted in a battle of attrition.
"We need to send the Greater Demons away. Not only are they not helpful, but they are also getting in our way!" Teshafir stated before barking at the Greater Demons, "All of you, go kill the humans!"
"Yes, Lord Arch Demon!"
The Greater Demons immediately complied with Teshafir"s order, some with relieved expressions while others directly rejoiced.
In their minds, the humans were definitely easier targets than the n.o.ble demon, who has become their worse nightmare.
The humans wouldn"t be staying in the back otherwise.
"Go! Kill the humans!" Ishtalir bellowed.
"Kill!!!"
…
"Here they come!" Aria quickly alerted.
As the Greater Demons charged at the human side"s defensive line, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman stood at the forefront.
"Allow this old man to take them on! Miss Aria, please a.s.sist this old man from the back, and the rest of you, don"t let the stragglers slip past you!" the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman directed.
"Understood, Senior One-Eye!" Chief Skyhawk and the other tribe leaders responded.
Not long after, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman dived into the roughly 550-strong army of Greater Demons with his Tier-5 Buster Sword firmly gripped.
"Arrogant human dares to challenge us alone? Let me send you one your way!"
A High-rank Greater Demon shouted as it rushed ahead of the group to fight the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman headed on with its Tier-6 Greatsword.
However, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman"s Half-step Battle King aura exploded as he swung his Tier-5 Buster Sword at High-rank Greater Demon with all his might.
"Begone, demon!!!"
Peng!
The two giant swords clashed before the tremendous force slammed the Tier-6 Greatsword back into the High-rank Greater Demon"s body, crus.h.i.+ng its chest bones and blasting into the army of Greater Demons behind it.
Pufft!
The High-rank Greater Demon spurted blood as it slammed into several Greater Demons, breaking more bones and knocking them all down.
"Careful! This human"s strength is even greater than Peak-rank Greater Demons!" Ishtalir warned.
The 550-odd Greater Demons quickly paused in their tracks with wary looks, not expecting for there to also be someone strong among the humans.
Nevertheless, it was only a brief moment of hesitation before a Peak-rank Scaly-Tailed Monkey Greater Demon stepped forward.
"All Peak-rank Greater Demons and High-rank Greater Demons, gather to my side! We will take on this human together! As for the rest of you, take care of the other humans!"
The Peak-rank Scaly-Tailed Monkey Greater Demon commanded.
Nevertheless, the Peak-rank scaly Tailed Monkey Greater Demon lacked the charisma to command all the Greater Demons as they hesitated.
After acknowledging other Peak-rank Greater Demons from their respective demon clans, the Greater Demons finally complies and organize their ranks accordingly.
"Hmph!"
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman snorted before lunging towards the dividing groups of Greater Demons heading for the four tribes.
"Where do you think you are all going?! Your opponent is me!"
"No, we are your opponents!"
The Peak-rank Greater Demons and High-rank Greater Demons quickly surrounded the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman and cut off his path.
However, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman"s momentum did not so slow down.
"Out of my way! Horaaa!!"
The One-Eyed Venerable Shaman bellowed while making a horizontal sweep with his Tier-5 Buster Sword at the Peak-rank Greater Demons, smas.h.i.+ng them all out of his way with brute force.
Bones broke, armor shattered, and weapons chipped.
However, such weapons also included the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman"s Tier-5 Buster Sword, which couldn"t compare to the Greater Demons" Tier-6 weapons obtained from the secret realm"s tombs.
At the same time, High-rank Greater Demons quickly refilled the opening and cut off the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman"s path once more.
"Pesky demons, you dare you to damage my lifelong partner to this state," the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman frowned at the big chip in his Tier-5 Buster Sword that threatens to snap in half.
"I"ll leave the rest to you and the others, Miss Aria."
Shortly after saying that, the One-Eyed Venerable Shaman threw himself into the crowd of Peak-rank Greater Demons and High-rank Greater Demon, placing his entire focus on them as he searched for a new weapon.
Swoosh—!
A wave of cold energy immediately halted the Mid-rank Greater Demons" advance as Aria warded them off with ice-lightning swords.
At the same time, she raised her Tier-7 Divine Sword and captured everyone"s attention with a single divine swing.
s.h.i.+nggg!
