Chapter 524: Chapter 290: The Might of Thunder 3
Fang Zhen had become this Divine Rune Realm’s Blood Burst Secret Medicine.
Those formidable demons no longer seemed so powerful in his eyes.
It was like a huge steak; despite its great weight, it was still meant to be carved by a knife.
Fang Zhen, of course, was not the meat. He was the knife.
Even without the natural power from the sky, Fang Zhen’s own strength was enough to severely injure Malganis.
And channeling the power of heaven and earth had given Fang Zhen a new insight; it seemed he had grasped some incredible skill.
Of course, the skill did have a certain backlash. His hand was still numb.
He guessed that after returning to the real world this time, he might solidify a powerful new skill.
Down below, the Divine Rune Warriors were kicking the dog while it was down. Although Malganis was immensely tyrannical, even the strongest warrior in a one-on-one fight, Osetis, was no match for this Demon Lord.
Even if the entire Divine Rune Legion charged at once, they might not have been able to defeat Malganis.
Yet now, its defenses had been completely shattered by Fang Zhen. Paralyzed and unable to move, it could only lie passively on the ground and endure the attacks.
In just a few moments, the Demon Lord Malganis was hacked into a bloody mess by the Divine Rune Warriors.
"Push harder! If we kill it now, we’ll have succeeded!" someone among the Divine Rune Warriors shouted.
The one shouting was none other than Belfort, the red-haired noble who had once tried to show off his superiority to Fang Zhen.
Belfort had been taught a lesson by Fang Zhen before and had been keeping a low profile recently, not causing any trouble.
Belfort himself was one of the Divine Rune Warriors. He had rejoined the Knight Order after Osetis arrived and even held the position of Osetis’s second-in-command.
After observing how desperately Phil’s Legion needed Fang Zhen for both his status and the rare resources he provided, Belfort, the pride of the nobility, no longer compared himself to Fang Zhen. Instead, he quietly accepted that they weren’t even in the same league.
Belfort was thrilled at this moment.
He had secured a good position near Malganis’s head.
From here, if he just kept attacking, he might be the first to sever Malganis’s head from its neck. That would be a great accomplishment.
Suddenly, Malganis, lying on the ground, let out a roar.
This roar was somewhat similar to its previous spiritual attack, just not as potent in terms of essence and spirit.
Instantly, a shockwave of sound spread out in all directions with Malganis at its center.
Belfort, being closest to Malganis’s head, bore the brunt of it.
The sound stunned Belfort, leaving him frozen in place. It was unclear whether it was a mental assault of fear or some other rampaging negative emotion, but in any case, he was under a soft-control effect.
Malganis, still on the ground, suddenly extended a massive claw that emitted an eerie glow.
Instantly, among the Divine Rune Warriors surrounding Malganis, a large number of them were enveloped by the eerie glow.
The Divine Rune Warriors’ bodies swayed as they fell into a brief daze. The only one to react in time and quickly escape the glow was the leader of the Divine Rune Knight Order, Osetis.
Osetis, it seemed, was not just ferocious but also remarkably agile.
He had already escaped the attack’s range the moment Malganis released the eerie glow.
And from within that eerie glow, five green rays of light shot out from Malganis’s mouth, instantly connecting to five Divine Rune Warriors.
Belfort was the first to be hit.
The green light acted like a pipeline siphoning life. A constant stream of life essence flowed from the bodies of the five Divine Rune Warriors into Malganis.
Malganis’s body seemed to recover faster and faster. Even the horrific wound on its head, deep enough to expose the skull, was rapidly healing.
However, the five Divine Rune Warriors, including Belfort, aged rapidly as their physical energy was devoured and disappeared.
Soon, Belfort went from a man in his prime to a withered old man, his face covered in wrinkles and his hair turning white.
Even his soul seemed to have been wrung dry. His eyes rolled back, and he lost all trace of life and spirit, leaving behind only dregs.
In a short time, the five men had become withered, desiccated corpses. Their shriveled souls turned them into mummy-like husks that collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Malganis had recovered some of its vitality.
At this moment, high in the sky, Fang Zhen stood on his flying lotus, hovering. Seeing Malganis below regain some of its vitality, he let out a cold snort.
This snort was also produced by his Source Power Thunder Sound, and it boomed like a thunderclap.
At this cold snort, the Demon Lord Malganis below couldn’t help but tremble.
It seemed to no longer care about the Divine Rune Warriors around it. Instead, it looked up at Fang Zhen, and an unconscious fear appeared in its eyes.
Fang Zhen saw that Malganis had lost its nerve and sneered.
’So what if you’re a demon?’
’You’re already a defeated foe. What right do you have to speak of courage?’
The demon world might be chaotic and tyrannical, but it still had a hierarchy.
The reason Malganis was a Demon Lord and the vanguard of the Demon Legion was that, compared to other demon leaders, it was more ferocious, more brutal, and a better fighter.
People feared demons simply because they were powerful enough.
But Fang Zhen wasn’t afraid.
’I don’t care if you’re a demon.’
’So what if you’re a demon? As long as I beat you into submission, it’s fine.’
The numbness in Fang Zhen’s arm, caused by the natural lightning strike, had now faded.
He raised the Thunder Spear in his hand high.
Instantly, the Power of Thunder once again gathered at the tip of his Thunder Spear.
It looked as if Fang Zhen could leap down at any moment and cleave Malganis with a single strike from the air.
Having just been thrashed by Fang Zhen, Malganis seemed to have developed some demonic psychological trauma.
’Who knows if demons even have a psyche, or how large the area of that shadow is.’
When Malganis saw the lightning, its body began to tremble uncontrollably, and it let out a furious roar.
But while it sounded like a roar of fury, if one listened closely, they could detect a tremor in its voice.
The Divine Rune Warriors had also just recovered from Malganis’s attack. Seeing Belfort’s tragic state and the deaths of several other Divine Rune Warriors, they were momentarily overcome with shock and rage.
But now, seeing Fang Zhen in the air, raising his spear and unleashing lightning, the Divine Rune Warriors seemed to have found their backbone and courage again.
To avoid getting caught in the crossfire and to give Fang Zhen room to maneuver, they flew back and scattered in all directions.
Fang Zhen descended rapidly, maneuvering the flying disk in the air as he stood on it.
The flying disk was actually some distance below his feet; he was in a state of freefall.
Seeing Fang Zhen swooping down from the sky with his lightning-wreathed spear, Malganis clearly panicked.
Its thirty-foot-tall body suddenly became more agile. It turned and fled toward the Teleportation Gate.
But Fang Zhen, still in the air, tapped his foot on the flying lotus, using the force to propel himself forward.
The Thunder Spear in Fang Zhen’s hand stirred up a spiderweb of lightning that spanned dozens of meters, and he thrust it toward the back of Malganis’s heart!
