Chapter 411: Chapter 411: Golden Fire Defends the City, Ten Thousand Times Burning
Rumble—
The earth began to shake violently, and countless stones fell from above.
Outside the Undercity, a black tide of Demons surged forward. The roars of tens of thousands of Demons joined together into a flood of destruction, crashing wildly against the city gate.
At this moment, the full-scale war for the Undercity had truly begun!
"Kill them! Tear these underground dwarves apart!"
The Demon vanguard waved their rusty heavy swords. Their blood-red eyes were filled with madness and cruelty, and their roars were deafening.
"Raise the walls! Set the nets! Blow these bastards to pieces!"
Marcus, the Red Dwarves’ defense general, stood on the city wall and roared until his voice was hoarse. He slammed the forging hammer in his hand down onto the core of the city defense magic circle.
Buzz—
Outside the city gate, the red ground that had seemed calm a moment ago suddenly cracked open. Countless blazing pillars of lava shot into the sky, forming a deadly net of fire with no gaps.
"Aaaargh!"
Hundreds of low-level Demons charging at the front were swallowed by the lava in an instant. They did not even have time to scream before they were burned into charcoal.
However, the Demon army behind them stepped over their comrades’ bodies and continued charging forward without fear.
"Fire the arrows! Mage squad, blast them!"
Inside the city defenses, hundreds of Red Dwarf fire mages chanted together. Countless fireballs, each as large as a millstone, fell toward the enemy like meteors.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames shot into the sky. The shockwaves from the explosions threw broken Demon limbs high into the air.
"For the glory of the Red Dwarves! Kill!"
The heavily armored dwarf warriors stood ready, holding double-bladed giant axes taller than themselves.
When the first Demon climbed onto the wall, it was met with a powerful sideways swing. In an instant, blood sprayed through the air.
At the rear of the battlefield, Ethan stood high on a chariot built from piled bones.
A cruel sneer appeared on his strange half-human, half-bone face.
"Pointless struggle. Before absolute Strength, you are nothing but slag from a furnace."
A cold light flashed in Ethan’s single eye, and he suddenly waved his hand.
"Dark Demon Generals, go. Tear open their defense line!"
Several huge Demon generals, each giving off the aura of the high-level Abyss, roared and charged out from the center of the army.
Their target was clear: the already crumbling defense points of the Undercity.
At the same time, on the main tower of the Undercity—
Aiden stood in black robes that snapped in the wind, looking down at the bloody battlefield from above.
The violent storm of war blew through his loose hair, but it could not disturb the deep, Abyss-like calm in his eyes.
"So this is how the Abyss fights a full army war..."
Aiden spoke quietly. A wisp of golden Divine Golden Sunflame danced at his fingertip like a tiny spirit.
Beside him, Karls and Syed looked grim, staring hard at the endless tide of Demons rushing toward them.
"Aiden, these Demons have gone mad. Ethan has thrown everything he has into this fight!" Karls said through clenched teeth.
Aiden’s expression remained calm. A cold smile curved at the corner of his mouth.
"Good. They came to me, so I don’t have to hunt them down one by one."
Just then, a sharp scream came from the front line of the city wall.
Boom!
A solid section of the obsidian wall collapsed under a violent impact.
In the rolling dust, three terrifying figures, each ten meters tall, leaped onto the wall at the same time!
They were three level 25 Demon commanders. Their bodies were covered in sharp spikes, and each one held a massive black blade. A suffocating, violent pressure rolled off them.
"Die, you little dwarves!"
The three giant blades screamed through the air and came down at the Red Dwarf defenders without mercy.
The once-solid defense line was torn open in an instant.
...
"Beasts. Who said you were allowed to swing those blades?"
A calm voice, filled with supreme authority, suddenly rang out from the broken gap in the wall.
The three Demon commanders, who were about to slaughter the Red Dwarf warriors, felt their pupils shrink.
Before they could even turn their heads, an indescribable, terrifying heat locked onto their bodies.
On top of the wall, Aiden stood with one hand behind his back. He gently pointed forward with the index finger of his right hand.
A tiny golden flame, like a firefly, floated out from his fingertip.
[Ding! Detected that the host has released "Divine Golden Sunflame." The 10,000x critical hit system has been triggered!]
[Critical multiplier this time: 10,000x!]
[Skill range, power, and duration increased by 10,000 times!]
The cold system voice thundered inside Aiden’s mind.
At that exact moment, the weak golden flame suddenly grew wildly in the wind.
Boom!!!
It was as if a real sun had fallen outside the obsidian city wall.
Endless golden divine fire turned into a huge ring of flames that covered the sky and blotted out the sun. With the force of Thunder’s Wrath, it crashed down onto the black plain.
Within ten thousand meters, the very air twisted and collapsed from the heat.
"Roar—!!"
The three Demon commanders at the front let out terrible screams.
The massive black blades in their hands did not even have time to fall. Under the 10,000x burning power of the Divine Golden Sunflame, they instantly turned into thin trails of black smoke.
And it was not just their weapons. Their powerful Demon bodies began to melt and break apart at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
The low-level Demon army rushing forward like a black tide fell into pure panic.
But how could they outrun the Divine Golden Sunflame after a 10,000x critical hit?
The golden wave of fire was like a world-ending tsunami. In an instant, it swallowed the black plain for several miles around.
Hiss, hiss, hiss—
There were no deafening explosions, only the chilling sound of bodies melting away.
Wave after wave of low-level Demons charging the city did not even have time to scream. The moment they touched the golden fire, they turned to ash, leaving not even a scrap of bone behind.
The thick, violent black Demon army had a huge piece of it erased by the golden ring of flame.
"This... is this a miracle?!"
On the city wall, Marcus, the Red Dwarf defense general, stood frozen in shock. The forging hammer in his hand almost slipped to the ground.
All the Red Dwarf warriors and fire mages stopped moving. They stared blankly at the sea of golden fire stretching outside the city.
That burning, holy, untouchable golden flame was like a barrier sent down by a god, completely cutting off the darkness of the Abyss.
"Aiden... he’s terrifying beyond belief!"
Karls sucked in a cold breath. The awe in his eyes had reached its peak.
Syed stared fixedly at Aiden’s back, his whole body trembling slightly with excitement.
And yet, Aiden’s expression remained as calm as still water.
He stepped into the air, his body turning into a blurred afterimage, and vanished from where he stood.
He pushed the Extreme Speed of the Nocturnal Boots to its limit. He moved across the crumbling city walls as easily as if he were taking a walk.
Every time he reached a gap in the defense line, he casually waved out a stream of Divine Golden Sunflame.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The 10,000x critical hit kept triggering. Countless golden fire traps formed outside the wall, burning every Demon that tried to cross the line into nothing.
In just a few dozen breaths, the city defenses, which had been full of holes and close to falling, were forced back into place by Aiden alone.
At that moment, the tide of battle completely turned.
The Demon army’s overwhelming assault was cut off by the vast field of golden flames.
Outside the city, on the bone chariot—
Ethan watched his proud Demon army turn to ash in the golden fire, one wave after another. His half-human, half-bone face twisted completely.
"Damn human! Damn fire!"
Ethan let out a roar that shook the sky.
He knew that with this strange sea of golden fire in the way, sending in more low-level Demons would only mean sending them to their deaths.
"These weaklings are useless. I will break this city myself!"
Ethan suddenly stepped forward, and the power of the Demon God erupted from his body like a volcano.
Rumble—
A massive black mist swept out from him. Inside the mist, his body grew wildly. In the blink of an eye, he became a terrifying giant demon several stories tall, standing like he could hold up the sky.
His single blood-red eye locked onto Aiden on the city wall, filled with endless killing intent and rage.
The top-level boss was making his move in person.
Boom!!!
Ethan, now transformed into a giant demon several stories tall, crashed down onto the obsidian city wall like a meteor burning with black flames.
A terrifying shockwave mixed with rolling demon fire swept outward. In an instant, dozens of Red Dwarf warriors who could not dodge in time were sent flying and burned to vapor.
"You insects, die for me!"
Ethan laughed wildly. His huge bone claws were wrapped in surging Heavenly Demon energy. Every swing brought a storm of blood and death.
The defense line, which had only just been stabilized, began to show signs of collapse again under the absolute power of a level 90 Mythic Boss.
In one corner of the wall, Karls watched his people die. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his whole body trembled violently.
The shame of being imprisoned and tortured, and his deep hatred for the Demon Clan, erupted completely like a volcano at that moment.
"Trash! Take my fire!"
Karls roared. His body turned into a blur as he charged forward without fear, meeting Ethan head-on.
A stream of sickly green flame surged out from his palm and turned into a fierce bone-fire Skeleton.
The secret art of the Red Dwarves Clan—Bonerot Ghostflame!
Aiden stood quietly in the air. His fingers moved slightly, and his gaze was deep and calm.
"Go. I’ll cover you."
His calm voice entered Karls’s ears like an anchor in a storm, instantly easing the panic in his heart.
[Ding! Magic Mastery has been triggered. The host has granted the allied unit Karls the Fire Element Affinity buff. His fire power has increased by 300%!]
The system prompt thundered in Aiden’s mind.
