Chapter 307: Transcendent, Demon Body
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
The Extraordinary Magma Monsters that retreated to the volcano created some black barriers, trying to block the seawater.
However, the water from an altitude of hundreds of meters was too powerful even to those Extraordinary Rank-5 Magma Monsters. The barriers were destroyed in the blink of an eye.
“Hiss!”
However, when the pillar of water was about to fall into the volcano, a roar that made all the human beings’ hearts skip a beat echoed.
On the top of the volcano, a creature, whose head alone was more than ten meters tall and whose table-like eyes were ablaze with weird purple flames, craned its head in the typical form of a mythical demon from the west.
Splash!
After it showed up, abundant sulfurous smoke rose and even boosted a lot of flames to the sky against gravity. It looked like the end of the world!
Whoosh!
Right after the head and the flaming eyes, the demon’s hand, which was covered with a black shell and carried sharp dark-red claws, extended out of the volcano too.
It suddenly grabbed a mass of magma at the edge of the volcano and threw it up like a cannonball.
The magma that weighed several tons rose for three hundred meters in the sky with yellow smoke surging out and crashed the cloud dragon that was spewing out water.
“Roar!”
The immense blast disrupted the spewing of the cloud dragon and transformed it back into the Mirage Dragon Sword!
The cloud dragon wasn’t the only thing that was affected.
“Awoo...”
The husky, touched by the spluttering magma, howled and fell from the sky.
Fortunately, because it wasn’t right over the volcano, it fell into the sea and wasn’t badly hurt.
However, after it emerged from the water, its thick black-and-white fur had been blackened, and its tail had become completely bare.
After it looked at its own reflection on the surface of the sea, it instantly howled in rage.
“Woof!”
However, after it saw the purple “demon”, whose upper half body alone was as high as a ten-floor building and whose eyes were emitting flames that were twisting the space...
“Awoo...”
It quickly moved its eyes away in the next moment and looked around in confusion, as if it were searching for the enemy that had hidden somewhere after reducing it to such conditions.
“Humph!”
However, Li Yuanba, who had been drumming on the husky’s back and never had a chance to fight, had a different reaction. He bellowed disobediently.
When the husky fell from the sky, he simply jumped off from it and then stepped on the One-Legged Bull Drum, before he lunged at the demon at the volcano in a shadow.
He clenched his fist and waved it with his arm that seemed to be made of iron, as if he were going to destroy everything on his way!
Faced with Li Yuanba who was flying close, the demon at the volcano also waved its arm, and purple flames appeared on its red and black claws!
Boom!
The bronze-colored fist collided with the demonic claws that were surrounded by purple flames.
Due to the furious impact, a dent about half a foot in diameter appeared on the demon’s claws.
However, it mattered little to the demon’s claws, which were more than three meters in diameter. Li Yuanba, on the other hand, was knocked back like a ball into the seawater at the foot of the volcano over a distance of a hundred meters.
“Come again!”
A second later, Li Yuanba emerged from the seawater and roared. His yellow hair, which seemed to have resulted from malnutrition, was fully erect due to his rage even though it had been wet. He was about to charge at the demon again!
“Stop! At least wait until they deliver your weapon to you!”
Ji Ye stopped the young man who was no older than thirteen in personality.
Clearly, even though Li Yuanba was a Transcendent if not a Legendary hero, he was merely Extraordinary Rank-7 at this moment, and he had no weapons. He had no advantages in confronting such a demon with bare hands.
Although he attempted to fight again, the purple flames that burned his arm weren’t extinguished even though he had fallen into the seawater!
At this moment, his arm was shivering slightly because of the flames.
Furthermore, Li Yuanba might not be able to defeat this “demon” even after he got his weapon.
From the perspective of the Five Elements, “fire” obviously suppressed “gold”!
Maybe Li Yuanba could ignore almost all physical attacks after activating Ten Feet of Gold, but the weird purple flames seemed to contain a Transcendent power that could consume “vitality”.
The “Ten Feet of Gold”, as a skill, couldn’t completely metalize one’s body yet until it reached the Transcendent level.
Just like the West King of Yuan was killed by Gongsun Sheng’s lightning strike, Li Yuanba was vulnerable to this demon too!
More importantly, this demon appeared to be even more powerful than the six-armed ape earlier.
Boom! Boom!
Furthermore, not just the human attacks, even the ten cannons on the Mirage Dragon Warship, which had taken a detour to a position where it could attack, only caused some inconspicuous holes on the demon’s body.
Also, those holes were filled by the demon’s magma in the blink of an eye. It wasn’t really hurt at all!
“Is this... another Magma Monster?”
Even the leaders of Twin Dragon Island changed their expressions in such a situation.
“No, it’s the remains of a real demon.”
Li Qing’s “Combat Ability Detection” talent had already reached Extraordinary, which allowed him to acquire more information.
“The body of a ‘demon’ that used to be Transcendent must’ve been sleeping in the volcano, like what happened in the Mirage Monsters’ settlement.
“Right now, the demon has been reactivated by the Magma Monsters in some way!”
Under Li Qing’s detection with his talent, a hundred pieces of information were popping up on the demon, which suggested that the demon was jointly controlled by a hundred Magma Monsters.
On the Mirage Dragon Warship, Li Qing observed the demon through the Monocular and said, “It must be the work of the remaining Extraordinary Rank-8 leader of the Magma Monsters... By my estimation, this ‘demon’ can’t be weaker than Extraordinary Rank-9, and it clearly masters some sort of Transcendent power. Considering the environment at the volcano, we might suffer casualties if we launch an attack!”
Elder Meng, who was standing next to him, looked at the “providence” above the Magma Monsters’ settlement with glowing eyes again.
“The Magma Monsters have lost about eighty percent of their power of providence.
“Also, there are no more than thirty Extraordinary Magma Monsters left in the whole settlement.
“However, with this demon’s body, which was Transcendent in the first place, it seems unlikely for us to conquer the Magma Monsters once and for all!”
The more important reason was that after hours of battle, the special power in the Seven Note Guqin Ship, the bronze bells, and the One-Legged Bull Drum had all been used up.
Even Ji Ye didn’t have much Flood Dragon Blood left either.
Not just him, most of the battle participants from the Twin Dragon Island, including Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Zhao Yun, and Lu Junyi, were physically and mentally tired. Except for Li Yuanba who had the talent of “Infinite Stamina”.
They weren’t in their best shape to attack the central area of the Magma Monsters.
If they were to force themselves to fight, it would be inevitable that their efficiency would drop and they might suffer casualties!
“Then let’s take a rest... We can continue the attack after a full recovery.”
Because of the tremendous amount of seawater, it was impossible for the Magma Monsters to reclaim their territory, and victory was only a matter of time.
“After this battle, we’ve acquired more than a hundred offerings that are related to flames from the Magma Monsters. If we perform rituals with such offerings, we should be able to summon some special units that can manipulate magma!” free webnov el.com
More importantly, after the leader of the Magma Monsters was killed, although no spoils of war were received due to the long distance, they did get an Extraordinary Rank-8 Quasi-Boss Soul of Civilization!
“Let’s summon another Perfect Transcendent hero with that!”
