Chapter 1564: Chapter 952: Nightcrossers vs. Chaos Breeding Ground (Part 2)
Chaos Fireball, Chaos Sweeping Flames, Chaos Storm—three types of sorcery were unleashed simultaneously from three directions by them, and the flame humanoid exploded with indiscriminate attack blast flames towards its surroundings at this moment.
Mila quickly raised her hand, letting Luluwo pull her, throwing her towards the place with the most people. At the moment of landing, Mila activated her big move, slamming the ground heavily, summoning a wide and tall rock pillar to block the flames in front of everyone. The hard rock pillar snapped the incoming flames in half and stood firm.
But others who couldn’t evade in time were unlucky. Luluwo barely protected a few others who hadn’t transformed, but some were still struck down by the chaos fireball in panic, and Berto nearly lost half his life.
In such an open space, there’s hardly a way to resist large-scale flame attacks; they had to create obstacles themselves. Sain Dungeon wasn’t kind enough to prepare barriers for the adventurers.
"We need to deal with the clones first."
Berto risked everything, pulling out the large bow from his back, comparable to a lion’s great bow, swiftly drawing the bow and launching a giant arrow towards one of the clones. The moment the giant arrow was shot, it carried a surging storm, and that clone was about to counter with new flame sorcery, but as it made contact with the storm, even its movements paused, and it was immediately torn into the storm’s center.
The clone collapsed instantly, meaning they weren’t quite durable!
Just after unleashing this strike, he was subjected to the dual punishment from another clone and the chaos breeding ground, and the incoming blast flames immediately blew him out of transformation.
"I got you!"
Tami swung over from the side, grabbing the falling Berto and tossing him back onto the narrow field, then turned and launched his left fist towards the attacking fireball.
"Boom!"
The mechanism in his left arm blasted with explosive flames no less powerful than the chaos flame, neutralizing the attack instantly.
Luluwo summoned a storm in mid-air, raised the long spear, and crashed into the clone’s embrace like a cannonball. In an instant, that clone also burst into fireworks, with the feathers showing signs of scorching.
Taking advantage of the moment, the magicians cast spells to restrict the final clone’s range of action. Mila, like Hollylove, charged at the clone, opening those muscle-swollen arms nearly to the point of deformity, grabbing the clone’s waist from behind, and with the rascal form’s arm strength fully unleashed, instantly crushed it.
From the appearance of the clones to their complete annihilation, less than two minutes had passed.
And this was merely a greeting from the chaos breeding ground to everyone.
Luluwo wanted to use agility to seize the king first by targeting the flames beneath the flame humanoid, but just then, the chaos breeding ground’s entire body began to contract violently. All the flames attached to the tentacles were gathering towards the center, and the brightness of the core flame rapidly escalated, shifting from bright red to orange-yellow and turning into a terrifying white. The temperature of the entire field suddenly rose to the point of making people’s skin start to smoke!
"Mila! Rock pillar!"
Mila again slammed her fists into the ground, barely creating two rock pillars in front of everyone, but this operation also severely cut down her transformation time.
Luluwo hurriedly rushed back to build the defense line, with the remaining eleven people squeezing behind the rock pillars’ cover. The warriors erected all shields to try to block the gaps between the rock pillars, and the magicians poured all their magic power into frost-generated protective shields, layer upon layer, until the shield’s thickness nearly obscured vision.
Then, the chaos breeding ground exploded.
Its big move came almost without warning, erupting as people barely completed the defense line.
Without an astounding sound, just dazzling white light gushed out from the core—no, it was incredibly high-temperature flames!
The brilliant flash instantly covered up everything on the battlefield; every sound vanished under the high temperature. It lasted for five whole seconds before abruptly dissipating, even the rock walls showing signs of melting.
Turning back to the adventurers’ side, they... managed to survive.
But, only a few remained.
Moreover, they were in very poor condition.
"Cough, damn it..." Tami’s hoarse voice emerged, having already left the tracker transformation "Why did it suddenly unleash a big move..."
Mila at the front had burned out, losing combat power, while Luluwo surprisingly still maintained the guardian form. Behind her were two surviving magicians, the entirety of their remaining combat power.
After unleashing this terrifying high temperature, the chaos breeding ground seemed satisfied in its attack desire. For a moment, even the tentacles’ writhing slowed, becoming sparse around the flame core, looking like there was an opportunity.
Next time they come to challenge, they must prepare enough protective shields, Luluwo thought to herself; it was clearly the perfect chance to defeat the enemy.
But unfortunately, with their current combat power, they could not achieve this.
Just recovering the ability to move took so much treatment time that the chaos breeding ground regained its movement.
That terrifying high temperature seemed to herald its transition to a new stage; the chaos breeding ground’s body, made up of countless tentacles, abruptly started to swell from inside.
Its body’s surface bulged with numerous lumps of varying sizes, each violently wriggling, as if some living thing was sealed inside. The lumps grew larger and denser until finally, all the lumps broke simultaneously.
"Aaah!" "Roar!" "Hiss!"
Shrill cries echoed, and hundreds of monsters roared.
Emerging from the ruptured lumps were not flames but demons, demonic creatures of various grotesque forms!
"Chaos breeding ground... turns out it’s literal."
The bed that breeds chaos demons; demons from the relic and Izaris were born from its body.
Sheep-headed Demons, Bull-headed Demons, Flame Demons, Undead Demons, several continuously festering miniatures, and unnamed demons—the monster flood burst out from the chaos breeding ground like a broken dam. They roared and surged towards the Skyrim Strategy Group from all directions.
The so-called siege of monsters felt just so, making the field seem increasingly cramped and small, completely unable to withstand everyone’s evasions.
Everyone fought desperately; the magicians poured all their remaining magic into the densest places of the demons, Giant Soul Arrows, Luminous Stone Comet, using what they had, and when the magic ran dry, they gulped down magic potions to continue.
But there were simply too many demons.
"It’s over..."
Luluwo let up a sigh, launching a final charge against the chaos breeding ground, only to be taken down mid-way by a winged demon, plunging into the surging demon swarm without a sound.
The rest of the Skyrim Strategy Group also couldn’t escape, completely submerged under the wave-like assault of demons, the battlefield echoing with demon roars.
Right after the Skyrim Strategy Group was wiped out, and a minute after numerous demons were bred, the chaos breeding ground suddenly seemed exhausted, its tentacles limply slumped to the ground, falling into weakness.
This was the most suitable time for attack, but it seemed the adventurers were a bit too early.
"If they’d held on just a bit longer, maybe they really could have made it."
Gong Qiying, watching the entire scene through the crystal ball, mused to himself; the Skyrim Strategy Group’s battle was, to him, quite entertaining.
He never hesitated to reward when he enjoyed watching, placing his finger on the panel, just about to operate, but suddenly paused.
Because he saw the route the Skyrim Strategy Group was taking after resurrection, their direction was....
"Hehe, might as well keep watching the show."
