169: Chaos, Endless Hell! The Holy City of Winter is caught in a bitter battle!
Demon Spirit City was not large; activating the Underworld Domain quickly cleared it out.
The range of the Underworld Domain expanded to over 800 meters in one go, making the monster-grinding efficiency even higher.
Xiao Lu's level also increased significantly, reaching the 50-level mark.
With only one person in the party, the experience gain was terrifying.
Demon Spirit City's treasury was somewhat pathetic, filled with blue and purple equipment; Pedro took a pile of purple scrolls, while he himself obtained 3 melting stones.
Through Han Dapao's interrogation of the demons, it was learned that the demons, due to their full-scale war with the human realm, had used all their resources and distributed them to the army, almost to the point of a do-or-die battle.
This led to tight supplies in various cities.
Chen Beixuan didn't care after learning this; the demons certainly weren't foolish enough to burn their bridges, and their treasures must have been transferred to larger main cities.
As long as he kept going and kept searching, he didn't believe he wouldn't gain anything.
"Let's rest here for a bit."
Chen Beixuan instructed the other three, then opened his skill panel.
The Hand of God skill had already cooled down, allowing him to choose another skill to upgrade to an exclusive one.
This time, he didn't hesitate and directly selected the Icefire Demon Flame Array.
[Ding! You used Hand of God, and [Icefire Demon Flame Array] has evolved into the exclusive skill [Chaos - Endless Hell]!]
------
[Chaos - Endless Hell]: Professional Exclusive Skill 7★
Description: Creates a confining prison at a designated location, dealing 3850% true damage every 0.5 seconds to enemies within a fixed 2000-meter radius, and applies the [Deeply Sinful] effect. The prison is an absolute domain and cannot be escaped, but Chaos Envoys can freely enter and exit. Lasts 10 seconds, cooldown 60 seconds, mana cost 7000.
[Deeply Sinful]: Damage taken from Chaos Envoys is increased by 5 times and is true damage.
Attributes: [Range Expansion * 2] [Swift and Violent Storm] [Holy Fire] [Bloodthirsty Body] [Absolute Focus] [Energy Steal]
Calculation Method: (Base 1-star 300% + 6-star 300% + 500%) × 3.5.
------
"Whoa, it has a Linkage effect."
Seeing the effect of Deeply Sinful, Chen Beixuan was pleasantly surprised.
This was equivalent to throwing a bunch of Chaos Envoys and enemies into a cage to gang up on them.
Although other effects like freezing and slowing disappeared, the whole thing turned into a sealed prison that couldn't be entered or exited, so overall, it was a gain!
This skill was specifically for dealing with those bosses who loved to run away.
However, he thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the number of bosses who could escape from him was very few.
It seemed only the extremely troublesome Kalis had succeeded...
He temporarily put those thoughts aside and focused his attention back on the skill.
While he had melting stones in his hand, he waved his hand and melted the [Absolute Focus] attribute!
Swish!
The original 120-second cooldown instantly became 12 seconds!
It was only two seconds longer than the duration!
This made it very useful for both health regeneration and crowd control.
"Alright! Let's go to the next stop!"
He smiled and greeted Xiao Lu and the other two, stepping onto the Myriad Realms Kun and flying away...
......
Meanwhile, Winter Holy City was embroiled in a bitter struggle.
Even Brandon personally ascended the city walls to oversee, just in case.
Minutes earlier, when the flying scout reported the news of the Demon King's personal arrival, he was completely stunned!
How unlucky must he be to encounter the Demon King's personal campaign!
Why would the Demon King not attack the Imperial City but instead attack his border level 2 city?
Had he gone mad!
"Have the people who went to request reinforcements not returned yet?"
Brandon was anxious and couldn't help but ask his subordinates.
"Lord City Lord, they just left a short while ago, they won't be back that quickly."
Bang!
Watching the tide-like demon army assault the city walls, Brandon punched the top of the wall as if to vent his frustration.
Time felt like it was passing by at a snail's pace!
If reinforcements didn't arrive soon, the city could fall at any moment, leading to its destruction and the death of its inhabitants.
The Demon King on the opposite side hadn't made a move, so he didn't dare to act rashly either.
Once the Demon King made a move, they would die even faster!
"Backup Second Squad, quickly reinforce the East city wall! Logistics troops, hurry up and deliver supplies to the soldiers! Faster!"
At the moment, he didn't have many options, he could only do his best to command the defense.
At the same time, the Demon King on his side gradually lost patience.
He questioned Kalis in a deep voice.
"Where is the Chaos Mage you spoke of? Why has he not appeared yet?"
Kalis quickly bowed, sweat trickling down his forehead.
"This... he should still be on his way to reinforce, not yet arrived. How about... we slow down the pace of attack and wait?"
The Demon King stared at him with cold eyes, and a terrifying pressure unconsciously emanated, pressing down on Kalis, who couldn't help but tremble.
After an unknown amount of time,
He only felt the pressure around him loosen, almost collapsing to his knees from exhaustion.
Then he heard the Demon King let out a cold snort and turned to walk into the camp tent.
Kalis knew this meant the Demon King had tacitly approved his suggestion, but also given him a warning.
He recovered for a while, then straightened up and gave the order.
"Pass down the order, slow down the attack, and await further commands."
"Yes!"
The messenger left.
Kalis took a deep breath, and his heart began to murmur.
"Where on earth did this guy go... Isn't this just screwing over the demons..."
If the Chaos Mage didn't show up in the end, the Demon King would probably tear him apart.
He stood in place for a moment in silence, seemingly having made some decision.
"I need to leave myself a way out..."
After Kalis's order was given, the demon army slowed down its attack rhythm.
This change made Brandon on the city wall somewhat surprised.
"Lord City Lord, their attack intensity seems to have slowed down!" one of his subordinates shouted.
"How could this be? They clearly have a great advantage, yet they're slowing down their attack now..."
Brandon's heart was filled with doubts, somewhat unsure of the enemy general's intentions.
"Could it be because the Demon King is present, and they want to wait for reinforcements to arrive to annihilate us in one fell swoop and expand their battle results?"
Just then,
The previously dark clouds in the sky suddenly turned crimson, like a branding iron heated by fire!
The next second.
Countless Fire Rain Meteors broke through the dark clouds and crashed into the demon army, causing explosions!
Boom boom boom boom boom!
"Reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements are here!"
"Brothers, kill these demon bastards! Kill them!"
The soldiers on the city wall couldn't help but shout excitedly, their morale instantly soaring!
Countless spells and arrows were launched consecutively, arcing gracefully into the demon horde, killing one demon after another!
At the same time, two identical figures darted out from within the city, appearing beside Brandon.
It was Merlin and Megan!
"The King actually sent you two, this is great!"
Brandon saw the two brothers, and the stone in his heart finally dropped.
The two brothers nodded in return, smiling.
"With the demon realm launching a full-scale attack, we two brothers no longer need to constantly guard Sunset City. Now our main focus is to monitor the Demon King's movements and provide support."
"No more idle talk, what's the situation here, and where is the Demon King?" Merlin went straight to the point.
"There, at the top of the slope."
Brandon pointed them in the direction, and the two old men, seeing it, immediately jumped off the city wall without a word and charged towards the Demon King's location.
With a wave of their hands, all demons blocking their way were eliminated, as if entering an uninhabited land, steadily advancing.
And the Demon King also seemed to sense the appearance of powerful demonic energy, walking out of the camp tent, his cold gaze flickering continuously.
He shifted his gaze, and Kalis was nowhere to be found.
The Demon King snorted coldly, not thinking much of it.
He turned his attention to Merlin and Megan, his fighting spirit surging...
