220: Chapter 22 Straight to the Heart of the Army!

"No!"

Demon King Duma let out a desperate roar; he could feel the Abyssal Power surging from the depths of the passage rapidly weakening.

At almost the same time, earth-shattering explosions echoed from the other six nodes!

Yarberna's giant hammer came down for the final strike, and Node One shattered into fragments amidst the rumbling.

Kasa's black flame spear pierced through the energy core, and Node Two was swallowed by pitch-black fire.

Krausi's Arrow of Silence intertwined with Hill's Gospel of the End, and Nodes Three and Four dissipated in the light of annihilation...

With seven nodes destroyed simultaneously, the resulting energy turbulence collided and overlapped, causing the entire Abyssal Passage to shake violently!

The blood vessels on the fleshy walls burst one after another, and viscous dark red liquid poured down like a rain of blood.

Those pulsating sarcomas exploded one by one under the energy impact, producing heart-stopping muffled thuds.

The most significant change was the Abyssal Power that had originally filled the passage, thick as a solid substance.

Its source seemed to be choked by an invisible giant hand; the delivery suddenly became intermittent and then rapidly weakened.

The abyssal aura on the three Demon Kings, including Demon King Duma, dimmed quickly like a candle in the wind.

"No! My power!"

The Crystal Skeleton Demon King let out a terrified roar; the indestructible dark purple crystal armor on his body...

Its luster quickly turned dull, and the runes lost their activity.

His aura, originally as majestic as a mountain, withered rapidly like a deflating balloon.

The Shadow Demon King's flickering figure distorted even more violently.

It looked as if it would dissipate into the air at any moment, and its shrieks were filled with pain and weakness.

Even for the strongest, Demon King Duma, the shrieks of the vengeful souls on his giant axe turned into wails, and the demonic flames burning on the blade were nearly extinguished.

He felt the power within his body draining away rapidly, and a long-lost sense of weakness flooded his entire being.

It was the ultimate emptiness after losing the Abyss's blessing.

"Now is the time!"

"The energy is cut off, they've become weak! Kill them with everything you've got!"

A sharp light flashed in Lu Yin's eyes; this was the best opportunity to slay these Abyssal Demon Kings.

"As you command, my Master!"

Although Lucifer was in his fallen form and had consumed a massive amount of energy, his aura remained violent.

He flapped his six wings burning with black flames, and the fallen heaven blade pointed directly at Demon King Duma.

"Fallen Heaven · World-Ending Slash!"

The pitch-black sword light tore through the yet-to-settle energy turbulence, slashing toward Demon King Duma with a pressure like judgment.

Shocked and enraged, Demon King Duma forcibly summoned his remaining demonic energy and swung his giant axe to parry.

Clang!

Amidst the deafening sound, Demon King Duma's massive body was actually forced back repeatedly by this single strike.

A huge notch broke open on the giant axe, and his arms were numb.

The loss of power made even parrying incredibly difficult.

Parried!

-155,632,147!

The damage numbers were still terrifying, and Demon King Duma's health bar dropped a visible chunk to the naked eye.

"Soul Gnaw!"

Herl also struck at the same time; an invisible and intangible gray ray that targeted the very essence of the soul arrived later but struck first, accurately hitting Demon King Duma's forehead!

"Arghhhh!"

Demon King Duma let out an extremely shrill scream as his massive body twitched violently.

He felt as if his soul was being gnawed by billions of invisible woodworms; his consciousness instantly became blurred and chaotic, and even the strength to lift his giant axe was rapidly draining away.

-25,436,987! -26,546,585! -24,653,562!

...

Continuous damage numbers floated up, causing the health bar above Demon King Duma's head to plummet like an avalanche, his aura withering to the extreme.

"No... I cannot die here... Lord Di Gulov..."

Demon King Duma's eyes were filled with fear and resentment as he tried to struggle.

But the intense pain on the soul level caused him to almost lose control of his body.

"It's over."

Lu Yin's eyes were cold as he seized this perfect opportunity.

He converted all his attributes into Strength, and the dark glow on the blade of annihilation condensed to its limit.

"time-space sword Dance!"

His figure blurred again as countless silver sword marks slashed out from different temporal layers, instantly submerging Demon King Duma!

-198,765,432! -213,456,789! -226,543,218!...

Dense damage numbers scrolled out like a waterfall, and Demon King Duma's final bit of health was completely emptied!

"The Abyss... will surely rule the world..."

Demon King Duma let out a venomous roar as his massive body crashed to the ground.

[Ding! You have killed Ghost Eye Demon King Duma! Experience gained: 1.5 billion (-2%) points!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 83!]

[Death Space quantity increased: 1,717/24,470!]

The system notification rang out, but the battle was not yet over.

Seeing Demon King Duma being slain, the Crystal Skeleton Demon King and the Shadow Demon King were scared out of their wits.

They were already exhausted and weak due to the interruption of Abyssal Power; now, they had no will to fight and only wanted to flee this place of death.

"Want to run? Have you asked me first!"

Yarberna's roar came from the side.

Her giant war hammer, carrying a storm of destruction, smashed heavily toward the Crystal Skeleton Demon King, who was trying to condense a crystal shield to escape.

"Abolition Spiral!"

Kasa's spear, wrapped in spiraling black flames, thrust fiercely toward the flickering figure of the Shadow Demon King.

"Arrow of Silence!"

"Gospel of the End!"

Krausi and Hill's long-range attacks also arrived simultaneously, completely sealing off the two Demon Kings' paths of retreat.

"No!!"

The Crystal Skeleton Demon King let out a desperate roar as his dark purple crystal armor shattered inch by inch under Yarberna's giant hammer and Krausi's arrows.

-156,324,788! -136,547,892!

...

Huge damage numbers jumped out, the Crystal Skeleton Demon King's health bar hit zero, and his massive body exploded like shattered crystals!

[Ding! You have killed the Crystal Skeleton Demon King! Experience gained: 1.2 billion (-2%) points!]

On the other side, the Shadow Demon King was firmly trapped by Kasa's black flame cage, and Hill's Gospel of the End dark tide completely submerged him.

-145,632,147!

...

The Shadow Demon King let out one last shriek as his body, composed of shadows, was caught in the energy where holiness and darkness intertwined.

Like melting snow, he completely dissipated.

[Ding! You have killed the Shadow Demon King! Experience gained: 1.2 billion (-2%) points!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 84!]

[Death Space quantity increased: 1,867/24,570!]

In just a short moment, the three Abyssal Demon Kings who had each dominated a region were all executed!

A strange silence temporarily fell over the passage, with only the occasional hiss of energy turbulence and the sound of slime dripping from the damaged fleshy walls.

Lu Yin panted slightly; the continuous high-intensity combat and skill bursts had taken a significant toll on him as well.

He glanced at Lucifer, whose pitch-black flames were slowly receding.

The fallen form seemed to be coming to an end, and his aura appeared somewhat weak.

"Master, what do we do next?"

After resting for a few minutes, Yarberna asked.

Lu Yin looked toward the depths of the Abyssal Passage and spoke without hesitation.

"Of course, we strike the heart and completely cut off Di Gulov's path of retreat!"

Moreover, he also wanted to see what the true Abyss actually looked like.

With Lu Yin's command, the Death Legion immediately pushed forward toward the depths of the passage.
