Chapter 520: Chapter 289: Dark Flame Lord Malganis (2)
Even a demon would know that such a fragile device should be kept in a safer, more protected location.
Fang Zhen scanned his surroundings, trying to find where the energy-providing device was located.
Just then, a deep roar echoed across the battlefield, like rolling thunder.
The sound was on par with Fang Zhen’s Source Power Thunder Sound, seeming to bypass the eardrums and vibrate the heart directly.
This deep roar made every human’s heart feel as if it had been squeezed by a hand.
It was like being pressed down by something, their spirits sinking into a heavy, oppressive fear.
However, several people on the field were unaffected by the sound, and Fang Zhen was naturally one of them.
’Is this a Spiritual Power attack?’ Fang Zhen wondered.
He had also sensed that something was wrong with the roar; it seemed to be some kind of skill that instilled oppression and fear in people.
However, his Spiritual Power was already over 20. A spiritual attack that would have a huge impact on ordinary people was a trivial matter to him.
Unaffected, Fang Zhen looked toward the source of the sound.
In the city’s central plaza, the massive form of a demon gradually came into view, striding toward them. Each step landed with a heavy sound, like the beating of a war drum.
Fang Zhen saw the demon approaching the plaza.
It was immense, towering thirty feet tall. Its entire body was covered in black scales, upon which an ethereal blue flame flickered.
Its head resembled a ram’s, with enormous curved horns inscribed with mysterious runes. Its eyes were two deep vortexes that seemed capable of devouring souls.
On its back was a pair of giant bat-like wings, which stirred up black smoke whenever they flapped.
"Who dares disturb my work? I will let the flames of purgatory scorch your very souls!" the demon’s voice boomed.
Fang Zhen could understand the demon’s words.
He didn’t know if the other Divine Rune Warriors could.
But it was obvious they were affected; the Divine Rune Warriors suddenly turned pale and began to sway.
A few of the weaker ones nearly fell from their warhorses, their souls having suffered a direct blow.
Fang Zhen felt a sense of oppression and annoyance, but it was merely an emotional experience, unlike the soul attack suffered by the other Divine Rune Warriors.
The regular soldiers at the rear cried out in terror at the sight of such a colossal demon.
In an instant, terrified screams erupted from the soldiers of Duke Phil’s legion.
The demon’s voice seemed to awaken a fear deep within their souls.
Besides Fang Zhen, the only one before him who could withstand it was Osetis.
Among everyone present, Osetis’s spiritual strength was exceptionally high, perhaps reaching half or even two-thirds of Fang Zhen’s.
"It’s the Dark Flame Lord, Malganis," Osetis said, his expression turning grave as he shouted aloud.
"Be careful! This Dark Flame Lord can fly, and it can drain souls! I’ve had comrades die to that ability—don’t let its attacks hit you!"
Just as Osetis finished his warning, the bat-like wings on Malganis’s back suddenly beat, and he soared high into the air.
In the blink of an eye, its massive body flew into the sky, seemingly defying all principles of aerodynamics and gravity.
While in the air, Malganis spat out countless black fireballs from its mouth. Like a volley of rain, they plummeted toward the soldiers of Duke Phil’s legion.
The fireballs exploded on impact, creating a flaming area with a radius of about five meters.
The temperature within these zones was extremely high, and Duke Phil’s soldiers were instantly turned to ash.
Moreover, the flames did not immediately extinguish but continued to burn, inflicting massive damage every second to the soldiers caught within the area.
This fiery spray wasn’t aimed only at Duke Phil’s soldiers; even the demons and Little Demons fighting them were engulfed by the flames.
What a ruthless demon this Malganis was, to kill even its own people.
No, I should say its own *demons*.
With a single volley of fire, the Dark Flame Lord Malganis incinerated at least two hundred of Duke Phil’s soldiers.
The entire Feili Legion numbered just over 9,000. Even though their weapons overwhelmed the demons here, the regular troops were still taking casualties in battle.
And yet the damage caused by this one demon, Malganis, was likely greater than that of the entire Demon Legion.
"We can’t keep fighting like this! We can’t let them kill all our soldiers!" Osetis shouted.
He looked at Fang Zhen and yelled, "I’m going up to try and pin it down! You get ready to intercept it on the ground! Only Divine Rune Warriors can pose a threat to Malganis!"
As he spoke, Osetis let out a low roar. He held his greatsword with both hands, pointing it toward the sky as he silently chanted something.
A section of divine runes on Osetis’s back began to glow.
And with the light of the runes, a pair of golden, radiant wings appeared on Osetis’s back.
Beneath these wings, Osetis’s body was enveloped in a golden glow.
He looked like a golden Angel. With a beat of his wings, Osetis shot into the air, flying toward the Dark Flame Lord Malganis.
Fang Zhen narrowed his eyes, watching Osetis in the air.
’Osetis must be one of the highest-tier combat units in the Minghui Kingdom, right?’
In the sky, upon seeing Osetis fly toward it, a flicker of recognition for an old acquaintance seemed to pass through the demon Malganis’s eyes.
