Chapter 1939: 549 Snake Demon and the Chariot_2
This scene looked extremely harrowing.
Galanâs Monks were reaping the lives of the Air Elements as if they were mowing grass on the battlefield!
âThe ones leading the charge, theyâre using the tactics from the Life Flow Sect.â
âThe rest, we have those from the Four Symbols Sect, as well as from various scattered sects and the Sun Soul Sect; Galan really isnât picky when it comes to followersâŠâ
A long time ago,
Matthew had discussed the situation of the Shadow Monks with Li Weiqi.
Most of them had been lured from the lost lands of the Far East, which had been defiled by the Evil God and demons, and it was rare for any creatures there to maintain their Self, and not to become corrupted.
These Monks were living examples.
Even though they seemed fierce and full of vigor,
Matthew could clearly see that their bodies were filled with contaminated Strength.
Their bodies were also aging at a rate several times faster than normal people.
These Monks generally didnât live past thirty-five years old.
And in the latter stages of their lives, they often suffered unbearable pain and torment.
Perhaps,
for them, dying in battle on the field of war was, in fact, a release.
And looking at the situation on the field,
the Shadow Monksâ successive attacks had further demoralized the Devil Campâs morale.
Because the demons and Air Elements were cautious of each other, their camps were fairly separate, leading to very slow aid for the Air Elements.
Nonetheless, the Phantom Baron who was in charge of the vanguardâs strategy was resolute.
He assigned the task of supporting the Air Elements to the central army behind him, while he himself led an elite force straight to the foot of the city wallâ
where the number of defending Shadow Monks had halved.
Merely with the shadow creatures, they couldnât withstand the sharpness of the demon army.
Now was the best time to tear through the enemyâs front line.
This move indeed hit a critical point.
In less than twenty seconds,
the vanguard group led by the Phantom Baron successfully breached the area that had been in a stalemate.
They had driven back much of the shadows that covered the land.
Parts of the city wall hidden within the shadows were continually being exposed.
Among them, the most conspicuous was the gate, still half-hidden in the shadows!
Everyone knew,
behind the gate was Beckmanâs Shadow Core.
To breach the gate,
was the key for the demon army to achieve victory in this battle.
âCharge!â
The Phantom Baron raised his Flame Longsword high.
He was just about to give the order,
but in the next second,
a huge horn pierced through the void, piercing right through the Phantom Baronâs body, leaving him chillingly cold!
Whoosh!
As a Shadow Demon,
the Phantom Baron of course wouldnât die from such a level of sneak attack.
Soon,
he reformed his body not far away.
But the demons who had been standing near him were not so fortunate.
How enormous that horn was!
It kept thrusting forward, tearing apart countless spaces!
The Infernal Creatures along its path simply couldnât withstand it and could only frantically pull to either side.
Meanwhile,
the solemn sound of horns echoed from the direction the great horn had come.
Hearing the horn, the demons collectively showed confused and bewildered expressions.
And as the full figure of the horn and the creature behind it became revealed before everyone,
some demons realized what kind of opponent they were facing!
âŠ
âWarning: You have encountered the âFierce Bull Lordâ!
Fierce Rhinoceros: A large beast active in the Far East, once tamed by the Su peopleâŠ
You have encountered a Purgatory Snake Demon army!
You are affected by the group Curse Aura!
Partial exemption in progressâŠâ
âŠ
Matthew passed by rhinoceros after rhinoceros.
Like the other demons,
he quickly dodged to the side, but during this process, he also felt the suppressive effect of the Curse Aura.
âThese giant rhinos can actually carry a squad and leap through space?â
Matthewâs eyes lit up.
He saw Purgatory Snake Demons that resembled Medusas or Deep Sea Nagas riding on the back of the rhinoceros.
The rhinocerosâ horns were glowing faintly with white light,
clearly still bearing the traces of Ether from long-distance teleportation!
He quickly surveyed the battlefield.
The ones that had barged into the front line, forcing the Phantom Baron to regroup, were actually only three Fierce Rhinoceros along with their rider Purgatory Snake Demons.
And on the flanks of the battlefield,
also hidden in the shadows,
a plane rift was continuously spewing out reinforcements for Beckman from the Far East.
All the Snake Demons were perched on the backs of the Fierce Rhinoceroses.
They held aloft battle flags similar to those of the demons opposite them, their expressions extremely serious.
As soon as the Fierce Rhinoceroses and Purgatory Snake Demons made their entrance,
they attracted nearly all the attention of the demons.
It couldnât be helped,
adversaries often meet on a narrow road.
âGlasia, you contemptible usurper!â
âThe glory of the Lord of War was never yours; you are not of the Barthor bloodline but merely a puppet hungry for fame.â
âEverything you once did to our Snake Demon Clan, today we will return a hundredfold!â
Atop the giant Fierce Rhinoceros,
a trembling elderly Snake Demon pulled out an inconspicuous scale from his chest.
The next second,
trickles of blood began to emerge from deep within the elderâs chest.
His skin started bleeding profusely.
Bizarre grey clouds intermingled with mottled red dots flickered incessantly around the elder Snake Demonâs body.
The old man quickly screamed and died.
And similar scenes unfolded atop the other Fierce Rhinoceroses.
With the self-sacrifice of these Snake Demon elders,
the curse auras on their bodies became even more potent!
Simultaneously,
the Fierce Rhinoceroses were intensely stimulated, becoming even more irritable and ferocious!
âRoar!â
Several demons who had not managed to evacuate in time were reduced to a pulp by the paw of the Fierce Rhinoceros Lord!
At that moment,
everyone couldnât help but feel chilled to the bone!
Matthew saw it clearly.
Those few demons had not failed to evacuate in time but were instead affected by the curse aura radiating from the Snake Demons during their retreat.
If one were to say that before the sacrifice,
the natural group curse effects of the Snake Demons were roughly at Tier 3 in strength,
then now,
their effects had at least improved to Tier 4!
Those in close proximity had to face a continuous and near-Tier 5 curse determination!
Once the partial exemption failed,
a series of negative conditions would ensue: uncontrollable sneezing, sluggish movements, dazedness, weakness to cold, severe toothache, frenzied hair loss, and unbearably itchy skin!
Simultaneously,
the curse would slowly erode a personâs Health Points and resistance.
If one started being able to bear it,
after the resistance was worn down, facing the repeated checks of the curse aura, suffering more severe damage was almost unavoidable.
Those few demons just now failed their partial exemption and even triggered a cascading effectâ
when one person failed their exemption, the curse re-exploded in their body, imposing the pressure of a second determination on their companions nearby.
Ultimately leading to a group of demons all falling prey.
Despite the Fierce Rhinoceros Lordâs palm strike looking formidable,
even without that blow,
those demons were already doomed!
Such was the horror of the Snake Demonâs curse!
âAnd the scope of this damn thing is just too largeâŠâ
Matthew had already retreated to a distance about four or five hundred meters away from the Fierce Rhinoceroses but could still feel the presence of the curse aura.
Fortunately, the curse had little impact on him.
On one hand, he possessed several divine aspects, his related resistance maxed out.
On the other hand, the domain where the curse resided also partially pertained to negative energy, and Matthew, a Necromancer proficient in negative energy, had an extra partial exemption bonus when facing curses.
Matthew was able to resist,
but the demons were somewhat in disarray.
Actually, demons generally possess very high resistance, especially concerning curses.
But it seems that the curse on the bodies of the Purgatory Snake Demons was specifically enhanced to target the demons of Barthor Purgatory.
In the first round of the confrontation,
although they had the advantage of a surprise attack,
the number of demons that died under the curse still exceeded Matthewâs estimates.
This scene was probably something that Glacia had not anticipated either.
âBain, your men didnât come here just to spectate!â
She ignored the accusations of the Snake Demons
and turned to her allied camp.
Before long,
from the demon army clad in steel helmets and iron armors, a steel chariot emerged from the ranks.
Atop the chariot,
a tall warrior donned in Garciaâs Armor II responded in a muffled voice,
âYou are too anxious, Princess Glacia.â
âThese Snake Demons are of no concern; please rest assured and leave them to us.â
âAfter all, cursesâa tool of trickeryâcan only harm those made of weak fleshâŠâ
As he spoke,
a barrage of steel chariots erupted orange-red flames from their rears.
They took over the spot vacated by the Phantom Baronâs withdrawal, bracing themselves to confront the Fierce Rhinoceros Lord!
