Chapter 523: Chapter 290: The Might of Thunder
Malganis, who had been so imperious just a moment ago, now trembled all over as white smoke rose from his body. Flames, different from his usual demonic fire, licked at his skin, and the stench of scorched flesh filled the sky.
After a single blow, the seemingly tyrannical demon only managed to hang in the air for a single second.
Then, enveloped in lightning and the electrical fires it ignited, Malganis’s body began to burn. He plummeted from the sky like a colossal meteorite.
Fang Zhen’s attack was a success. With a single strike, he had sent the mighty Malganis plummeting from the sky—the demon who seemed as impossibly powerful and eternally unbeatable as a Demon King.
This shocking scene stunned everyone present.
Whether they were Divine Rune Warriors, Duke Phil’s soldiers, or the demons themselves, all were left dumbfounded.
The Little Demons, as well as the Gargoyles and other true demons in the air, let out roars of disbelief. It seemed that even they could feel fear.
That Malganis, the Demon Lord who held dominion over their hearts, could suffer such a devastating blow was a reality that not even the demons were willing to believe.
Watching the scene unfold in the sky, Osetis was completely dumbfounded. He had even forgotten about the blood that was steadily flowing from the wounds on his body.
The searing pain from the Dark Flame Magic, which flared up every few seconds, was no longer enough to distract him.
Because the scene before his eyes was something he had never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams.
After Fang Zhen successfully knocked Malganis from the sky, a silver light flew from a distance and settled beneath his feet.
It was the Flying Lotus.
The Flying Lotus had not originally possessed such formidable power, but after undergoing Divine Rune Etching, both its perception of Spiritual Power and its speed had increased many times over.
Fang Zhen guessed the increase was at least tenfold.
Clearly, the special metal it was made from had a stronger amplifying effect on Divine Rune Etching.
Now, this Flying Lotus could be used just like a Sword Master Immortal’s flying sword, and his own physical condition and reaction speed were more than enough to control its incredible velocity.
The strike had also provided a point of leverage, breaking Fang Zhen’s downward momentum.
His descent wasn’t too fast, and the Flying Lotus transformed into a silver streak, landing perfectly beneath his feet.
Fang Zhen stood upon the Flying Lotus, Thunder Spear in hand, and gazed down from the sky.
To the people below, the sight of Fang Zhen in the heavens was like watching a god scrutinizing his defeated challenger—the demon who dared to defy divinity.
In that instant, an overwhelming sense of Fang Zhen’s invincibility was seared into the hearts of everyone below.
Fang Zhen looked down coldly, his face an impassive mask, radiating an air of cool detachment.
He suddenly spoke.
At once, a voice like rolling thunder boomed across the entire battlefield.
"I’ve already struck Malganis down! What are you all standing around for? Go take his life!" Fang Zhen’s voice spread downwards like ripples, its power so great it even seemed to create visible shockwaves in the air.
Hearing Fang Zhen’s words, the Divine Rune Warriors below were stunned for a moment.
The first to react, without even a moment’s hesitation, was Osetis.
Osetis gripped his greatsword with both hands, suddenly crouched, and then launched himself into the air. The armor on his feet and legs flared to life, glowing with divine runes.
With this single leap, Osetis, a mere human, covered a distance of nearly thirty to forty meters.
In mid-air, Osetis held his sword with both hands as a golden flame gathered once more upon his Longsword.
With a furious roar, Osetis brought his blade down on the prone Malganis in a powerful jumping slash.
Seeing the leader of the Divine Rune Knight Order make his move, the other Divine Rune Knights immediately reacted. This was a golden opportunity to finish off a fallen enemy!
The Divine Rune Warriors unleashed their unique abilities. All sorts of Divine Rune Combat Techniques—ice, fire, lightning, poison—were brought to bear.
Malganis’s body was over three zhang tall, even higher than a three-story building. At this moment, however, its massive frame had become nothing more than a giant target.
The Divine Rune Warriors poured all their life’s training into their attacks, as if condensing their very life force into this one single moment of overwhelming power.
In an instant, while Malganis was still paralyzed and defenseless from Fang Zhen’s strike, the Divine Rune Warriors moved in, determined to execute the Demon Lord.
Fang Zhen watched from the sky, his expressionless face making him seem like a god with everything under control, without a hint of emotion.
In truth, he was just putting on an act.
Fang Zhen was recovering his strength.
He wasn’t just standing there to look cool; his hand was actually a little numb.
That last strike had proven Fang Zhen’s theory correct.
Although Malganis was enormous, and its life force and demonic power were immense...
...there was a fundamental difference between Malganis and Fang Zhen.
Fang Zhen could already feel it. His own power, combined with his full set of equipment, had undergone a bizarre stacking effect that defied normal understanding after being layered from multiple angles.
A chemical reaction, so to speak.
All of these powerful factors weren’t just separate components to be compared one by one; they had combined to form a super-powered synthesis.
If he had to make an analogy, it was as if he himself had become the Blood Burst Secret Medicine from the Curse Seal World.
Speaking of which, the Blood Burst Secret Medicine wasn’t actually a very potent poison; it wouldn’t even kill a human.
But to other species, it was absolutely fatal.
