Chapter 254: Failure Close at Hand
They watched the camp in front of them.
In Eagle Eye's vision, the wicked black and red energy spread throughout the entire area.
In the camp, the black and red energy even formed a vortex, drawing all the surrounding magic power into itself.
This camp was extremely simple.
The central evil magic array was completely exposed.
Black and red energy groups kept appearing, followed by the emergence of low-level demons from the Abyss.
The winged demon that Kane and the others had encountered before was once again floating in the air, commanding the ritual.
"More, bring more demons, wahahaha..."
Faced with this situation, Kane did not delay. He poured firepower towards the camp with an artillery launcher equipped with over twenty barrels.
These flying shells were accompanied by colorful stars falling from the sky, among which was a large rocket aimed directly at the center of the array.
The deafening explosion, the fire that lit up the night sky, and the dust that permeated the entire camp.
"It's you again, you damned little golden man. Last time you weren't here, why are you here again this time?"
Listening to the piercing voice coming from the smoke, Kane couldn't help but frown.
What did the demon mean?
As the fire and smoke dissipated, Longbei descended from the sky, transforming into a tall gray giant.
He raised the giant hammer in his hand and struck the demons that had just emerged from the explosion and hadn't yet understood the situation. Such opportunities were fleeting; hitting one was one less demon to worry about.
A pale figure also passed through the demons who hadn't yet recovered, leaving behind only a headless corpse.
Turning into ashes in the breeze.
Due to the tight schedule of this battle, Youyou had been following them, collecting the spoils in the ashes.
The winged demon encircled by other demons raised a crimson shield to block the explosion.
A golden figure wielding a long spear pierced through the crimson shield.
"Are you free?"
Chasing the winged demon, Kane still questioned him.
The winged demon, struck to the ground by Kane, climbed up, "Who are you people, and how did you get here?"
"Looks like you're free." Kane murmured to himself, not bothering to answer the demon's question, continuing to attack.
The unexpected situation and incident could indeed be explained. A Spirit of Freedom, beyond everyone's expectations, happened to be born at this moment.
Born, but holding fatal information for humans. Judging by his look, he seemed unaware of what was happening in this world.
All the bad things came together, and this damned dungeon targeted them again.
Forget it, it bears the mist's favor, naturally at a cost.
There are no perfect solutions in this world.
Nor are there free lunches.
After fighting this winged demon for a while, Kane realized he wasn't very strong.
So it's time to end the battle.
In Kulers' eyes, Kane suddenly disappeared before him, then felt a pain in his chest.
Looking down, a transparent crystal gun head pierced through his chest.
The power of Holy Light and unknown black energy exploded within him.
Pain and the premonition of death surged into his mind.
Then he lowered his head, turned into ashes, and drifted away with the wind.
Kana watched the winged demon on the tip of his spear dissipate, two items glowing with magical light falling down, and he caught them casually.
One was the round rune key Kane needed.
However, now wasn't the time to inspect these things, he threw them directly into his space equipment and descended.
His teammates had already killed all the remaining demons below, and Youyou had collected all the spoils they produced.
"Time waits for no one, we need to go back quickly, the Volcano Fortress still needs our support."
After hearing Kane's words, everyone wasted no time, mounted their warhorses, and began to follow Kane back.
The warhorses seemed to feel their urgency, speeding even faster than when they came.
…
On the battlefield of the Volcano Fortress.
The deafening shouts and demonic roars echoed across the battlefield.
Many demons had already charged onto the walls, fighting humans fiercely.
A single strike from these demons could easily take a soldier's life.
The emotions of defending their homes and protecting their families were helping these soldiers resist fear.
A demon nearly three meters tall tore a soldier blocking its path in half, grabbing the shield-holding severed arm in its mouth.
This brutal act finally shattered the hearts of the soldiers before it completely.
He screamed, trying to retreat. Fear began to spread in the hearts of all the soldiers around.
A heavy hand rested on the shoulder of the screaming soldier.
Di Berrio, clad in armor and holding a giant longsword, stood calmly behind him.
The broad crimson cloak embroidered with the Volcano Fortress emblem fluttered backward in the cold wind.
"Soldier, if you are afraid, then stand behind me."
With that, he lifted his longsword and charged toward the demon.
With one stroke, he deflected the giant claw swinging toward him, forcefully stabbing into the demon's chest, then withdrew his sword. The hot blood sprayed onto him.
Di Berrio remained unmoved, unaffected, avoiding several attacks, and again forcefully swung his sword, cutting off the demon's head.
Looking at the demon's head rolling to his feet, he grabbed the horn on its head and lifted it.
"Kill!"
The commander's brave performance and strength dispelled the soldiers' fear, their morale rising.
"Kill!"
Shouting, they lifted their weapons and slashed at the surrounding monsters.
Di Berrio's performance also attracted many demons, gathering around him.
Yet this was only a corner of the battlefield; more soldiers were already engulfed in fear.
Countless heartbroken soldiers tried to flee, only to be torn apart and consumed by the pursuing skin-stripping monsters and demons.
Finaris, protected in the center by countless Holy Knights in elite armor, watched this scene.
Her eyes involuntarily turned to where Kane and the others had left; the fortress was about to be breached.
Perhaps it was she who couldn't fulfill the promise made.
Silently she watched the thorny pattern spreading over her right arm, taking a deep breath.
"Whew!"
Her eyes showed unwavering determination.
She lifted her gigantic golden scepter and struck the ground fiercely.
A soaring pillar of light appeared on the battlefield.
