20: Collaborating with the devil?
This time, the scene Song Ming entered was no longer at the foot of the volcanic mountain range.
Instead, he appeared directly on a long street in the outer district of Demon City.
The atmosphere felt more real, and also more terrifying.
All around were low, ugly buildings.
From the eaves of those buildings hung strips of dried human arms or legs.
Ugly-shaped demons stared intently at them through the windows.
The entire street was silent, yet filled with malice.
“It’s humans, haha, I was just worrying about not having human skin for clothes, none of you dare to fight me for them!”
“Human, how did you enter Demon City?”
“Who cares how he got in, just eat him!”
Upon seeing Song Ming suddenly appear, some demons finally couldn't hide the malice in their hearts.
They chattered and cried out.
Humans who entered Demon City had only one fate besides becoming their food.
There was no second outcome!
Jiang Rong’s expression was a little ugly; she hadn't expected them to fall directly into the demons' encirclement.
Song Ming, however, showed no change in his expression.
Or rather, he had only one goal in coming here.
That was to kill all the demons here.
Besides that, he had no other thoughts.
Kill!
The Soul Extinguishing Aura was suddenly activated.
A black ripple emerged from around his body out of thin air.
The dense swarm of low-Rank demons around him all turned into corpses under this one skill of his.
[Killed 1-Rank Low-Rank Ox Demon, gained experience +11]
[Killed 2-Rank Low-Rank Horse Demon, gained experience +12]
...
A long string of experience notifications scrolled across Song Ming’s eyes.
However, most were just 1-Rank or 2-Rank small monsters.
Monsters of higher Rank were very rare.
This made Song Ming a little curious.
But he carefully noticed the difference between this place and the hell-level dungeon.
That was, with one skill just now, he had killed at least several hundred demons.
Far exceeding the number of demons he had killed in the hell-level dungeon.
This might be the difference between the real world and a dungeon.
Song Ming continued to advance along the long street.
At the end of the long street was the central plaza where the teleportation array was located.
There, three demon generals were already waiting.
They were precisely the Flesh Mountain, Horned Goat, and Lust Serpent Demon that had appeared in the hell-level dungeon before.
Beside them were several other 20-Rank High-Rank Demons.
As soon as Song Ming stepped onto the central plaza.
Among the three demons, the Lust Serpent Demon, covered in green scales with a snake tail for her lower body and a graceful beauty for her upper body, immediately spoke:
“Human, cooperate with us, get the Seal Stone, and then Seal the Fire Lava Demon.”
“At that time, the Lord’s power will decline to its lowest point, and then we can take his place!”
Upon hearing this, Song Ming looked at the three demon generals with interest.
Although they were full of hostility towards him, they currently restrained the urge to attack him.
Do they want to usurp power through my hands?
“Song Ming, you can try to interact with them a bit, at least our goals are consistent!” Jiang Rong whispered from the side.
Song Ming glanced at her, then shook his head.
“Who said my goals are the same as theirs?”
“Human, what do you mean? Don’t be ungrateful!” Poch, the one with two black goat horns on his head, roared.
“Noisy!”
Song Ming snorted coldly.
The Petrification Aura immediately spread out.
Rows of ancient gray auras flew out from his palm.
They instantly enveloped ten demons, including the three demon generals.
They were all trapped in place, unable to move.
Then, gray-white stone fragments began to constantly fall from around the three demon generals.
-10120
-9520
-12500
Then, lines of damage numbers floated above their heads.
In just a moment.
The demons standing in the plaza cracked inch by inch, finally turning into piles of rubble.
[Killed 25-Rank Demon General Horned Goat Demon: Poch, gained experience +5000]
[Killed 25-Rank Demon General Flesh Mountain Demon: Bogan, gained experience +5000]
[Killed 25-Rank Demon General Lust Serpent Demon: Boba, gained experience +5000]
[Killed 20-Rank Demon Attendant, gained experience +2500]
[Killed 20-Rank Demon Attendant, gained experience +2500]
...
Even after killing so many elite monsters, his current experience was not yet enough for him to level up again.
Song Ming no longer delayed.
Why should he Seal the Fire Lava Demon?
If he Sealed him, who would make up for the experience he was missing?
However, before entering the inner city.
Song Ming first allocated all the attribute points he had gained from leveling up during this period to Spirit.
[Spirit: 86 → 98]
The skill damage of Petrification Aura and Soul Extinguishing Aura increased again.
Song Ming was not too afraid that the final Boss would be beyond his control.
Don't forget, his Petrification Aura's control duration was as long as 360 seconds.
Plus 15480 points of damage per second.
In comparison, its cooldown was only 7.5 seconds.
Far less than the control duration.
In other words, as long as Song Ming had enough Mana, he could achieve infinite control.
Until the Boss died.
It wouldn't even be able to lift a finger.
Jiang Rong, seeing the demons controlled in place until death without being able to launch an attack, couldn't help but gasp.
In the previous times, because the Soul Extinguishing Aura skill directly acted upon the enemy's Soul.
She hadn't seen it clearly.
Now Song Ming displayed another skill.
Its damage per second was nearly ten thousand.
Total damage exceeded forty thousand.
And it could also control all these monsters in place, unable to move; what a terrifying skill this was.
Even for her, a 20-Rank Elf Archer, to deal such high damage in such a short time.
She would at least need to put all her points into attack power, plus a full set of red equipment that boosts attack power.
Then use her ultimate skill to achieve it.
And even then, she could only deal with one monster.
To incapacitate and kill ten demons in place like Song Ming did.
She absolutely could not do it.
Moreover, Jiang Rong had reason to suspect that the reason Song Ming only dealt over forty thousand damage.
Was not because the skill damage was only over forty thousand.
But because the enemy's health was only over forty thousand.
Jiang Rong snapped back to reality, then became extremely depressed.
What kind of pervert was this, dealing tens of thousands, even tens of thousands of damage with a single move?
She, who had always considered herself a Genius, felt a sense of frustration at every moment.
“What do we do next?” Jiang Rong couldn't help but ask.
“Why ask? Just kill our way through until we clear the dungeon!”
After Song Ming finished speaking, he looked at the volcano at the top of the mountain, and the inner city suspended above the volcano.
His next actions were already very clear.
First, go to the inner city and kill the Demon Lord, then just wait for the Fire Lava Demon to revive.
Once he dared to show his head, he would be instantly killed.
As for finding the Seal Stone to Seal him, Song Ming had never thought about it.
Only the weak would think of Sealing; the strong would directly kill their way through.
No matter what you are, first take a hit from my Soul Extinguishing Aura!
If you don't die, then we can talk about other things.
If you die, even better, everyone's happy!
It's easier for you, and easier for me.
A win-win!
