NOVEL NEXT Chapter 148 Forbidden Domain
After a few words of comfort to Audrey, Lin Rui gave her the same treatment as Susie. Her not-so-bright mind instantly went blank, leaving her unable to process the previous situation.
A minor crisis finally averted smoothly, Lin Rui instructed her to summon several Dark Warriors to help move the dragon eggs to Titan Sky Mountain.
He himself immediately headed to the territory to check on the situation with the Flame Demons.
With so many Flame Demons appearing in the territory, he surely couldn't ignore it.
However, once he stepped out of the commercial center, he found there was no doomsday fire in the territory, and not even the roar of monsters.
Lin Rui turned his head, finding Audrey still with her hand covering her mouth and a sweet smile on her face, clearly elated by the breakthrough, paying no attention to anything else.
"Hey, stop reminiscing. Where are the Flame Demons? Didn't you say there were a lot of them? Where are they?"
Audrey giggled and came up to them, nothing could disrupt her good mood now. "The Flame Demons rushed up from Moon Marsh Lake. But now I don't know where they are."
Moon Marsh Lake?
Lin Rui remembered a mural he'd seen in the Mechanical Sage's tomb.
Could the mural's content be true? At Moon Marsh Lake, had Flame Demons really emerged once, and even now a passage connects deep underground, occasionally bringing up some creatures from the depths?
No wonder the Little Fishmen in the lake sometimes drop elite-level loot.
Lin Rui immediately mounted Death's Claw and flew towards Moon Marsh Lake.
Once in the air, he finally understood why the territory was so quiet.
From the western part of the territory all the way to Moon Marsh Lake, the path was densely lined with Flame Demon corpses, lying upon each other, indicating they hadn't even had time to react before being swiftly and continuously slain.
By the lakeside, Susie's tall figure was fiercely battling several demons over ten meters tall.
The power of Flame Demons was almost entirely proportional to their size. Tier One minor demons weren't even taller than a human Knight. A Tier Five Flame Demon stood six or seven meters tall, generally possessing Rare Level and Heroic Spirit Level strength.
Yet these weaker Tier Five and below Flame Demons had all been sliced to pieces by Susie, the ground littered with corpses.
The ones still fighting, towering over ten meters high, were all Super-Tier beings, with a Talent reaching Lord-level, even Catastrophe-level.
Yet even so, these Flame Demons were being beaten down by Susie. Her weapon was too legendary!
The terrifying scales of the Flame Demons' bodies were like paper in front of her longsword, pierced through with ease.
These Tier Six demons completely relied on their exceedingly high Physique Attributes for exceptional speed and elusive flashes to hold Susie in check.
Su Ye was on the side exclaiming continuously: "Wow, that strike was fierce! It cut off an arm over ten meters long."
"Amazing! Sides step to evade, then counter with a heavy chop, the longsword directly severed the Tier Six Flame Demon in two."
"Wow! Wow! Wow! That move is simply unparalleled. How did Susie become so strong, her form disappearing, only the brilliant blade light surrounding the target?"
Lin Rui walked over with a darkened expression: "Su Ye, why aren't you helping, just shouting here?"
Su Ye stepped back quickly, shaking his head: "I wouldn't go. I'm afraid if that woman gets desperate, she'll slice me up in one sweep. Didn't you see how she instantly killed a Tier Six Demon Lord that flash-attacked her just now?"
"Besides, Lord, aren't you not helping either?"
Lin Rui glared at him: "I'm standing here; the Extreme Cold Divine Realm can envelop all the Flame Demons, slowing them down. Can you do that?"
"No... but I can keep these Flame Demons from running amok. The ones trying to storm into the territory, I took care of those."
As they spoke, the frigid snowstorm had already enveloped the battlefield. Within the storm, the demons' vision was somewhat impaired, and their speed simultaneously reduced.
Su Ye clicked his tongue: "Lord, you really should upgrade this Extreme Cold Realm to cover at least our entire territory, no?"
"Then the entire territory, within hundreds of miles, would be covered by a snowstorm unseen by us. Any enemy entering the Extreme Cold Storm would suffer various debuffs, possibly even losing direction. The weaker ones would become ice sculptures within minutes. Golden Pansy Domain would directly become one of the world's forbidden zones, unreachable without a token."
Lin Rui replied irritably: "I think turning you into an ice sculpture would be about right. Along with Audrey, the sand sculpture. Both of you turned to statues will raise the territory's intelligence by 20%. I'll be here to deal with the Flame Demons that get through. You hurry inside and finish the battle to avoid any surprises."
The current coverage of the [Sacred Treasure: Ice and Snow Royal Court's Extreme Cold Realm] was just over a mile. How many upgrades would it take to expand to hundreds of miles and envelop the entire territory?
Su Ye begrudgingly entered the battlefield. Over ten seconds had passed, and the Flame Demons' attack and movement speeds had decreased.
Under the bonus of the Fearless Brave Trait, the attributes of the two Celestial Punishment Hunters increased significantly, almost matching the speed of the Tier Six demons.
Yet it was the parity that made Su Ye realize something was seriously wrong.
How did such a huge gap between Sue and himself develop without him noticing?
She killed Tier Six Catastrophe-level demons as if they were chickens, thrusting her sword into the heart, severing the Flame Demons' over ten-meter bodies directly.
