CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 42: THE DEMON KING OF EXTRAORDINARY TIER TWO!

Holy City.

Black clouds press upon the city, Demonic Qi overwhelming.

On the towering stone walls, the claws of the Cat Clan Leader, Rone, dug deep into the stone crevice, his amber eyes narrowed into thin slits.

The Demon Race’s numbers were too many, surging toward the Holy City like a tide.

If not for the Barrier left by the Elf Race, the Holy City would have been crushed by the Demon Race long ago.

"Report to the Clan Leader!"

A Cat Beastman reported with a grim face: "The Barrier has already cracked, at most it can hold for another half an hour!"

"Furthermore, the walls guarded by other races are also not optimistic!"

Upon hearing this series of bad news, Rone sighed.

"According to the prophecy, the Elf Princess is supposed to enter the Secret Realm around this time! To this end, he spared no effort to send his daughter out half a month ago, all for this slim hope."

"But now it seems... she’s likely encountered an accident as well."

Just then.

"Boom——!"

The entire Holy City suddenly shook violently.

"Damn it, it’s the Demon King!"

The rolling black clouds were suddenly torn apart by some terrifying force, and a tall humanoid figure with bone wings slowly descended.

Magma-like patterns flowed on his dark purple skin, the curved horns on his head glinted with a metallic sheen amidst lightning.

Merely hovering in mid-air made the knees of the Beastman soldiers on the walls go weak.

Seeing this Demon King, Rone’s face was extremely grim.

If it weren’t for this Demon King, relying on the Barrier, they would definitely be able to hold on.

But now...

Even though he was also at the Extraordinary Level, compared to a Demon King, the gap was simply too vast.

Demon King Carlos suspended in mid-air, his bone wings slowly unfolded, shadows like curtains enveloped half of the Holy City.

He was not in a hurry to strike, but looked down on the Beastman on the city walls, as if admiring the last struggle of his prey.

To find this Secret Realm, the Demon Race went through great lengths!

But as long as they assimilate the Elf Queen’s heir, the Demon Race would at least increase their combat power by one Demon King Level.

Moreover...

There is a high possibility of gaining Demon God Level power!

"Little insects of the Beastman Race," Demon King Carlos’s voice scraped like a dull knife against bone, "Tell me the whereabouts of the Elf Princess!"

"Don’t even think about it! The Beastman would rather die in battle than bow down to the Demon Race!"

Carlos’s mouth twisted into an inhuman smile.

"Interesting."

He raised his right hand, fingers clenched in the air—

"Boom——!!!"

The entire sky abruptly darkened, black clouds surged, transforming into a massive demon claw shadow that viciously struck the Holy City!

"Maintain the Barrier with all your strength!" Rone roared.

The Beastman warriors all bit their fingertips, smearing fresh blood onto ancient runes.

The Barrier gleamed brightly, barely supporting a pale golden shield.

However—

"Crack!"

With just one squeeze of the demon claw, the Barrier shattered into countless cracks like fragile glass!

Followed by another blow!

"Bang!"

The entire Barrier shattered like glass shards!

"Not good!" Rone’s pupils contracted sharply.

With the Barrier shattered, he had to stall the Demon King immediately.

However—

"Too slow."

An icy voice rang in his ear, and Rone had no time to react as a hand covered in dark purple scales clutched his throat!

"Clan Leader!!"

The Beastmen on the wall’s eyes nearly burst with anger, yet no one dared to step forward.

He forcefully swung—

"Bang!"

Rone’s body was thrown like a cannonball into the city wall, stones crumbled, dust rose!

"Clan Leader——!!"

Amidst the Beastman’s roars, Carlos slowly landed on the highest part of the city wall, bone wings retracting, demonic might overwhelming!

"One last chance, tell me the whereabouts of the Elf Princess!"

No one answered!

Irritation flashed in Carlos’s eyes, he slowly raised his hand, a dark purple Energy Ball gathered in his palm.

Black lightning crackled on the Energy Ball, exuding a suffocating pressure.

"Fools, then everyone shall be buried with!"

A terrifying wave rippled from above the Holy City.

Yet, in a critical moment.

A crimson meteor rapidly approached.

Feeling the momentum within, the Demon King furrowed his brow, abandoning the Energy Ball in hand, and turned to evade.

And that figure was Liu Li.

When Gu Xing and the others arrived here, they happened to witness the Demon King breaking the city.

Thus, without any hesitation, Gu Xing let Liu Li activate the Blazing Angel Form to strike.

Rushing from outside the city into the interior, Liu Li cleared a path, allowing the group to successfully return inside.

At this moment.

Gu Xing looked up at the sky’s Demon King.

[Carlos]

[Talent: Demon King]

[Level: Extraordinary Tier Two]

[Power: 821]

[Constitution: 834]

[Spirit: 812]

[Speed: 842]

[Talent: Magic Control]

[Skills: Demon King’s Claw...]

Looking at Carlos’s Attributes, Gu Xing’s expression turned serious.

I have to admit, this guy is the strongest opponent he’s faced since contracting Liu Li.

Although he’s at Extraordinary Tier Two, his attributes are approaching a thousand.

If Liu Li hadn’t relied on enhancing his attributes along the way through the Demon Race, facing this guy now.

There would certainly be no chance of victory!

But now...

[Divine Angel (Liu Li)]

[Talent: Legendary Three Stars]

[Level: Awakened Tier Nine]

[Power: 423→846]

[Constitution: 428→856]

[Spirit: 421→842]

[Speed: 430→860]

[Skills: Judgment, Divine Protection, Blazing Angel Form, Song of the End]

Through Blazing Angel Form, Liu Li’s various attributes barely reached the level of the Demon King.

However, having attributes at this level.

A mere difference of a few dozen attributes cannot determine the direction of the battle.

The most important aspect is...

The Talent of this Demon King is Gu Xing’s biggest concern.

This sudden change stunned the Beastmen present, followed by a cheer.

"Ancestors above... the prophecy has truly come true..."

"It is the Prophet, we are saved!"

Amidst the ruins, assisted by Sally, Rone was helped up and murmured as he watched Liu Li contend with the Demon King in the sky:

"The Holy City is saved! The Elf heritage won’t fall into the hands of the Demon Race!"

Upon realizing his opponent, Carlos slightly frowned.

The Angel Race?!

How could such a high-ranking race appear here?!

His gaze fell on Gu Xing.

It was actually a human Guardian Beast!

However...

An Awakening Stage angel trying to stop him?

It’s simply laughable!

Carlos’s mouth twisted into a menacing curve, the bone wings unfurled behind him suddenly, bringing about a vile wind.

His dark-scale-clad claws attacked Liu Li at an astonishing speed, fingers wrapped with suffocating Demonic Qi.

Liu Li nimbly sidestepped, strands of her hair cut by the fierce claw wind.

Several scorched black wounds had already appeared on her snow-white wings, obviously the earlier confrontation was not easy.

Gu Xing’s pupils contracted slightly, recognizing the disparity between Liu Li and the Demon King.

Although Liu Li occupies an advantage on the attribute panel, the Demonic Qi bestowed by the Demon King’s Talent grants Carlos superiority on the battlefield!

Realizing this situation, Gu Xing no longer hesitated.

It can’t be delayed any longer!

"Activate Critical Status!"
