Chapter 474: Summoning A Demon Ancestor

Mina released a startled cry, betraying her disbelief and growing panic.

Once again, Lin Moyu’s display shattered everything she thought she understood.

How could he simply ignore the sealing stone gifted by the Succubus Queen?

And those skeletons, there weren’t just many of them, they were terrifyingly strong.

Mina found herself besieged as well. Though not as powerful as Khulieh, she was no pushover, her strength rivaling that of elite Demons.

Taking just half a step longer than Khulieh, she broke free from the binding and blasted away the attacking skeletons with a burst of power.

Her delicate hands had transformed into deadly weapons, capable of clashing head-on with the axes of Skeletal Berserk Warriors.

Then she heard Khulieh’s furious roar—a flicker of hope.

But less than half a second later, his agonized screams tore through the battlefield, snuffing it out entirely.

Gritting her teeth, Mina summoned all her strength, conjuring a swarm of tiny, delicate shields before her, forming a tight defense.

Skill: Succubus Shield.

“Let’s wait another 30 seconds. If Khulieh can’t kill Lin Moyu by then... I’m gone.” Mina muttered to herself.

Crouching behind her shield, she supported the shield.

Thankfully, Lin Moyu wasn’t targeting her at the moment, so her shield could hold a bit longer.

She didn’t dare face him. All her hopes now rested on Khulieh.

She remembered when Lin Moyu had seemed like nothing more than an insect, an annoyance she could crush at will.

Yet in under a month, he had become something terrifying.

Now she felt like the insect. She didn’t even have the courage to face him anymore.

Khulieh grimaced through the pain, clutched his spear tighter, his thoughts racing, “Curse, soul attack, binding, summoning... How can a single class do all this?”

A burst of black energy erupted from his body, instantly transforming into raging Abyssal Fire.

The dark green fire engulfed his entire body.

Skill: Protective Flames!

This was his defensive skill, able to guard against physical, elemental, and even soul attacks.

It was a nearly flawless defense skill, on par with the Extreme Defense of human Knights.

The only drawback was that it severely weakened offensive power while it remained active.

But with Lin Moyu’s relentless soul attacks, he had no choice to accept the trade-off.

With a thunderous roar, Khulieh lunged forward, sending skeletons flying.

His aura locked firmly onto Lin Moyu, who hadn’t moved since the battle began.

Under the protection of Protective Flames, the Elemental Explosions and volleys of arrows were neutralized.

But then, lightning rained from above, and a tingling numbness surged through Khulieh's body.

Next, a wave of pain surged through him as a green hue spread across his body.

And then a frost layer spread across his body.

His speed dropped sharply.

“Lightning, poison, ice…” Khulieh’s mind reeled.

What kind of absurd skill set was this? How could one person wield so many disparate skills?

But the time for questions was over. The battle was already underway, and retreat was not an option.

He was a lord rank Demon of the Abyssal Spear Demon race.

If he ever ascended to Demon King, he would become a lord rank Demon King.

Even if it was a level 90 lord rank Demon King, they could stand toe-to-toe with an ordinary level 93 Demon King.

Such was the power of bloodline—undeniable, absolute.

With the pride of his race on the line, Khulieh had no choice but to fight. Retreat was not an option.

After the Elemental Liches appeared, the skeletons grew faster and tougher.

Combined with Lightning Ring, Ice Ring, and Poison Ring, the elite Demon squad found themselves utterly overwhelmed.

One thought echoed among them all: “Lin Moyu is a freak.”

It was like fighting an entire legion—complete with tanks, supports, healers, melee and ranged damage dealers, and more.

A single question echoed through the minds of the Demons: "How do we even fight this? This kind of composition is impossible to counter."

Lin Moyu hovered in midair, calmly overseeing the battlefield.

These Demons were strong, all over level 80. Killing them wasn’t easy.

If he activated Enhance Troops, he could wipe them out in an instant. Not a single one would escape.

But since he was about to enter Lightning Burial Canyon, it made sense to keep it.

“The rest are manageable. But that spear-wielding Demon… he’s tough.”

“I’ve seen one like him before, in the upper layer. He self-destructed in the end.”

“They must be of the same race.”

Lin Moyu made his decision. If he couldn’t crush him instantly, he would grind him down slowly.

After all, the guy couldn’t break through. The sea of skeletons had completely blocked all paths.

Khulieh, still cloaked in Protective Flames, continued to charge ahead.

But there were simply too many skeletons. He couldn’t break through.

He could before, but Protective Flames had drastically weakened his attack power, while the rings of light had greatly boosted the skeletons' defense.

As the tide of battle turned, Khulieh had become like a bird trapped in a cage, or a turtle flipped on its back.

Skeletons swarmed around him, their attacks relentless.

At the same time, the poison within him raged, surging every second with sharp pain.

It felt like a blade stabbing into his organs, once per second, without pause.

Protective Flames could block external attacks. However, it offered no defense against attacks originating from within.

Then, a flash of starlight surged. Lin Moyu activated Poison Starburst.

The poison within Khulieh surged violently, the stabbing pain intensifying.

After a few seconds of deadlock, Khulieh came to a grim realization. He couldn’t continue like this.

Protective Flames vanished, replaced by a surge of abyssal power, stronger than before.

“Summon Demon Ancestor!” He bellowed.

His voice echoed within the battlefield barrier like thunder.

The other Demons roared in unison, releasing their own abyssal power.

The black power gathered in the air, forming a barrier that repelled every skeleton from approaching.

Lin Moyu’s expression finally shifted. This wasn’t a skill he recognized, and it radiated immense power.

Within the black power, Khulieh and his elite squad forced their way out of the encirclement, converging in the air.

But Lin Moyu quickly noticed something. Aside from Khulieh, the auras of the other nine Demons were erratic and unstable.

This skill had a cost, and a heavy one.

As the power of the ten Demons fused together, a colossal Demon emerged, wielding an enormous spear.

Mina’s eyes lit up, “To think they can summon a lord rank Demon Ancestor projection… No wonder the Darkfiend King is so confident.”

Mina immediately recognized the skill. The Succubi possessed a similar skill, which allowed them to call forth a projection of the Succubus Ancestor.

Khulieh, of course, summoned the projection of the Spear Demon Ancestor.

Succubi were elite rank Demons, while Spear Demons were lord rank.

Naturally, the power of their respective Demon Ancestors was on different levels.

However, the stronger the Demon Ancestor, the harder they were to summon.

Not every Demon had the qualifications, or the strength, to summon such a projection.

The black abyssal energy condensed into the Spear Demon Ancestor projection, his towering presence exuding a pressure so heavy that Lin Moyu furrowed his brows.

“Judging by the aura… he’s not at fake God-level yet.”

“And the projection is unstable. It won’t last long.”

He had encountered true fake God-level entities before. Compared to them, this projection felt underwhelming.

In Lin Moyu’s eyes, even the Giant Leaf Mother Tree was more powerful than the unstable projection before him.

Khulieh sensed the immense power of the Demon Ancestor projection and leveled his spear at Lin Moyu, “Prepare to die!”

With a furious roar, the Spear Demon Ancestor, over 20 meters tall, lunged forward, thrusting his massive spear with explosive force.

Lin Moyu snorted and activated the skill he’d been saving—Enhance Troops.

After all, since the opponent was going all out, it was only fair to show some respect.

All the skeletons were instantly enhanced. At the same time, Lin Moyu’s attributes surged dramatically.

With a flash of white, the Spear Demon Ancestor projection was engulfed in a layer of bone, completely immobilized.

Soul Blaze ignited again, targeting Khulieh.

Lin Moyu had identified him as the primary caster. If Khulieh fell, the skill would collapse on its own.

But Soul Blaze failed to harm him.

Khulieh sneered, “It’s useless. With the ancestor’s protection present, your attacks can’t harm me.”

“Break!” He roared.

The projection shattered the Bone Prison and lunged again, its massive spear thrusting toward Lin Moyu.

Since Khulieh was invulnerable, Lin Moyu shifted his focus. He would destroy the projection first.

The Skeletal Berserk Warriors charged in, their damage potential fully unleashed against the towering target.

At the same time, Lin Moyu redirected Soul Blaze onto the projection.

A flash of red light burst forth, Deterioration Curse descended, pushing the damage to the limit.
