Chapter 134 A Close Call
嗷—
The ape demon's roar was like a thunderclap, making everyone's eardrums ache.
The roar contained some ancient and evil power; it was not merely a sound, but a mental shock mixed with the magic of the abyss.
On the battlefield, the remaining three Thorn Demons and two Beard Demons, who had already retreated and regrouped, all trembled the moment they heard this roar.
Their eyes turned even redder, the lines on their skin began to glow, and their muscles expanded at a visible rate.
"Damn it!" Gareth's expression changed. "They've been enhanced!"
The three Thorn Demons were already wounded and their movements were slowing down. But now, ignoring their reopened wounds, they charged towards the defensive line like madmen.
The bone blades were swung at a speed at least 30% faster than before, and the tail spikes were more frenzied and deadly.
And those two bearded demons were even more terrifying.
Several of their tentacles had been severed, but now the cuts were slowly regenerating, with a ghostly green light shimmering at the tips of the tentacles.
Instead of advancing cautiously as before, they launched a ferocious charge.
But at this moment, neither Max nor the princess are present.
The moment Xiu Qi infused the card with magic, two pale pink lights bloomed. However, the contracted partner within the card was still being strengthened and would require some more time.
"Hodor!"
Xiuqi's voice pierced through the clamor of the battlefield.
The ogre's bright yellow eyes instantly locked onto the wounded bearded demon that had been ambushed by the princess. Without hesitation, it took a step forward with its massive body, blocking the bearded demon's path.
The daemon was in very bad shape—the princess's hammer had left a deep, burning wound on its shoulder, the dark red flames still burning, and bodily fluids oozing from the charred edges of the wound.
But at this moment, empowered by the roar of the ape demon, it seemed to have forgotten the pain.
Five tentacles pierced Ado from different angles, each accompanied by a whistling sound of wind being cut!
Ador raised the giant oak shield.
boom! boom! boom!
The tentacles struck the shield with a dull thud. The impact made Ado's arm tremble slightly, but it did not retreat an inch.
The cannibal's bright yellow eyes held no fear, only an almost instinctive excitement.
Its left arm held a shield, while its right hand swung its spiked club horizontally!
call--!
The demon's three tentacles instantly wrapped around the handle of the spiked club, attempting to seize the weapon. But Ado's strength was too great; the tentacles not only failed to take the club but were instead flung aside.
The demon let out an angry hiss, and two more tentacles took the opportunity to burrow under the shield and entangle Ado's right leg.
The whiskers tighten.
Ado felt a terrifying force squeezing his right leg, causing his robes and chainmail to creak under the strain. But he merely glanced down, and then—
Lift your leg!
The two tentacles, along with their owner, were forcibly lifted off the ground!
The demon's body hovered in mid-air, its four tentacles still flailing in vain. A flicker of fear flashed in its eerie green eyes; it had never seen such an opponent before.
Ado didn't give it any chance.
The ogre thrust its shield out with its left hand, smashing it into the bearded demon's chest!
boom!
The demon was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. It struggled to get up, but Ado had already stepped forward, his spiked club raised high—
boom!
The spiked club slammed down where it had just been lying, cracking the ground and creating a deep crater. The demon barely managed to roll away, but Ado's shield was already hurtling towards it again.
boom!
Another solid impact.
The tentacles of the demon lashed wildly, trying to entangle Ado.
But the ogre's fighting instincts are terrifying—it can always dodge or parry just as the tentacles are about to entangle it, and then retaliate with an even more ferocious attack.
Ogres and bearded demons engaged in a pure battle of strength in a corner of the battlefield.
And Ado is subtly gaining the upper hand.
On the other side, Gareth's situation was much more dangerous.
His opponent was the bearded demon whose two tentacles had been severed. Although two were gone, it still had ten tentacles.
Ten items.
Each one is as thick as an adult's arm, each one is covered with barbs, and each one is as agile as a solitary venomous snake.
With the ape demon's roar amplifying their power, the speed and strength of these tentacles increased dramatically.
Gareth held up his shield, his left arm so numb he could barely feel it.
boom! boom! boom!
The whiskers rained down on the shield, each impact making his arm tremble and leaving deep dents on the shield's surface.
His right leg was entangled by a tentacle, which was tightening its grip, trying to drag him down. His hammer had just struck one of the tentacles, but the tentacle only paused slightly before retaliating even more frantically.
"team leader!"
A figure rushed out from the side.
It's Sim.
The young warrior, wielding a two-handed greatsword, slashed fiercely at the tentacle that was wrapped around Gareth's right leg.
The blade pierced the tentacle, and dark purple blood gushed out. The bearded demon let out a sharp screech, released Gareth's leg, and turned to coil around Sim.
Sim tried to back away, but it was too late.
The tentacle instantly wrapped around his waist and lifted him high into the air.
"Sim!" Gareth roared.
The shield captain, his eyes bloodshot, lunged at the beaked demon with reckless abandon. Shield slammed, mace pounded, he completely surrendered to defense.
But the other nine tentacles of the demon simultaneously wrapped around him.
At this critical moment—
A figure crashed into the battle from the side.
He was the silent captain of the champions.
His greatsword slashed at the tentacle that was entangled with Sim, the blade cutting it in and severing it!
Sim fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, panting heavily.
The champion captain did not stop; he continued to swing his greatsword, slashing at the tentacles that were entangled with Gareth.
The sword flashed, and the whiskers broke off.
Dark purple blood splattered, and the demon let out a painful howl, retreating temporarily.
Gareth gasped for breath, looking at the champions' captain and then at Sim, who had just gotten up from the ground.
"Thank you..." His voice was so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
The captain of the champion defenders didn't speak, but simply nodded, then raised his greatsword again and stood in front of the two.
"Hold the line!" Gareth gritted his teeth, raising his shield again. "We can hold on!"
On the other side of the battlefield, Cade and the warriors of squads 31 and 32 were locked in a fierce battle with a crazed Thorn Demon.
The Thorn Demon had at least four or five wounds on its body, from which dark red blood continued to gush out. But under the ape demon's roar, it seemed to have completely forgotten the pain.
Each swing of the bone blade brought with it a whistling sound, and each thrust of the tail spike was as deadly as a venomous snake.
Three deep slashes now marred Cade's shield, and several holes were pierced through the metal plates at the edges. His left arm trembled, and his hand gripping the shield was numb.
"Captain Cade, step back!" Blake's voice came from the side.
The greatsword warrior swung his two-handed greatsword, slashing at the Thorn Demon from the side. The blade left a shallow, bloody gash on the Thorn Demon's back, successfully drawing its attention.
Thorn Demon turned around, his bone blade sweeping towards Blake.
Blake managed to raise his sword to parry, but the force was too great, causing him to stagger backward.
Lynn emerged from the shadows, his short sword aimed at the Thorn Demon's lower back. The Thorn Demon's tail spike shot out like lightning, forcing Lynn to retreat and dodge.
Tom's shield slammed into the Thorn Demon's ribs from the side. The Thorn Demon roared in pain and turned to retaliate, but Cade's mace had already struck it on the back of the head.
boom!
The Thorn Demon swayed slightly, but did not fall.
It turned its head, its dark red eyes fixed on Cade, and then pounced!
Cade raised his shield to block, but the bone blade struck the shield, which finally gave way and cracked in two.
Cade staggered backward, his chest completely exposed to the Thorn Demon.
The bone blade thrust out!
In that instant, a huge, brownish-brown figure crashed in from the side, sending the Thorn Demon flying.
It's a Druid's brown bear.
The enormous bear paw slammed down on the Thorn Demon, knocking it to the ground. But the Thorn Demon quickly rose, its bone blade piercing the brown bear's belly.
The brown bear roared in pain, but did not retreat; instead, it continued to pounce and bite.
The druid stood at the back, his hands forming a mudra as he chanted a healing prayer. A pale green light enveloped the brown bear, and the wounds inflicted by the bone blades began to slowly heal.
"Hold on!" Cade picked up a longsword that had fallen to the ground, stood up again, and said, "We are the winners!"
The other two Thorn Demons were held off by the warriors of the three squads.
The squad leader of Squad 13, the Level 2 Champion Defender, was now covered in blood. His greatsword was stained with dark red blood, a mixture of his own and the demon's blood.
His teammates were still struggling to hold on.
They stood in front of the demons, yet not a single demon broke through their defenses.
The 25th squad of wanderers moved like ghosts along the edge of the battlefield. Their attacks, though incapable of inflicting fatal wounds, disrupted the demons' rhythm with each strike, buying precious breathing time for the front-line warriors.
The druid of Squad 38 had already cast several spells, but she still stood in the most dangerous position, using all her strength to command the brown bear in battle.
Everyone gave it their all.
Everyone knows that we cannot afford to fall now.
Behind the battlefield, the two pale pink lights grew brighter and brighter.
Gareth was panting heavily; the dents on his shield were countless.
His right arm was trembling, his left leg was deeply bruised from the whiskers, and he felt a sharp pain in his ribs.
But he remained standing.
It still stood in front of that bearded demon.
Ten steps behind him was Xiu Qi, who was strengthening his powers with his eyes closed.
Gareth didn't know what Xiuqi was doing. But he could sense that some kind of powerful force was gathering around the young man.
That is hope.
That was the only reason he gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Come on!" Gareth roared, his shield slamming into an oncoming tentacle. "You want to kill me? Come on!"
The ten tentacles of the demon attacked simultaneously from ten different directions!
Gareth's shield blocked three, his mace smashed through one, and he barely dodged four. But the remaining two... *thud! thud!*
Two tentacles pierced his body at the same time.
One stab pierced the left shoulder, and the other pierced the right abdomen.
Gareth let out a muffled groan, his body trembling violently.
But he did not fall.
He didn't even take a step back.
He gritted his teeth, glared, and stared intently at the demon before him. There was no fear in his eyes, only an almost insane determination.
"You...can't kill me..." His voice was hoarse, yet clear and powerful.
The demon's tentacles tightened, trying to drag him down.
But Gareth's feet were firmly planted on the ground, and he did not move an inch.
Sim charged forward, his greatsword slashing at the two tentacles. The young warrior's face was streaked with tears, but his hands did not tremble.
The blade slashed towards one of the tentacles...
The champion defender captain also rushed over, slashing his greatsword at another tentacle.
Gareth's body was finally freed, but he could no longer stand. He knelt on one knee, gasping for breath, blood gushing from his wounds, staining the ground beneath him.
"Captain!" Sim knelt beside him, his voice trembling.
Gareth raised his head and looked in the direction of Xiuqi.
Those two pale pink lights grew brighter and brighter until finally, they bloomed!
Two figures emerged simultaneously from the light.
A silver-gray figure, light as the wind, deadly as poison.
She is still 4 feet 7 inches tall, but her proportions are more perfect and her lines are smoother.
On her silver-gray skin, faint, star-like silver specks appeared. These specks were densely packed all over her body, making her appear like an elf descended from the starry sky in the twilight.
The small tuft of silver-white hair on his head had grown thicker, and the hammer in his hand had changed, resembling a delicate work of art.
The spikes on the hammerhead resembled blooming flowers, each spike tip gleaming with a dark red light. Dark red flames swirled, danced, and burned around the hammerhead, as if they were alive.
Another figure, nine feet tall, resembled a bronze war god.
He was covered in thick cloaks and chainmail, his muscular body almost bursting through the armor. The pair of curved battle horns on his head had become even thicker and more ferocious, their tips shimmering with an eerie green light.
The two-handed greatsword in his hand was six feet long, its blade as wide as a door panel, covered with intricate combat runes. A faint, eerie green light could be seen flowing within the runes—the enhancement of poison.
Most striking was his eyes. Those crimson eyes had become even deeper, with a ghostly green flame seemingly burning deep within their pupils, allowing him to see the weaknesses of any creature.
Max.
princess.
Two two-star epic-level contract partners arrive simultaneously.
Without hesitation, the princess vanished into thin air.
The next second, she appeared behind the bearded demon in front of Ado.
The hammer emerged from the void, trailing dark red flames, and slammed fiercely toward the back of the demon's head!
The demon's reaction was extremely fast.
The six tentacles twisted at an incredible angle, forming a shield in front of the hammer.
boom!
The hammer struck the tentacles, and the dark red flames instantly ignited the six tentacles. The flames spread and burned on the tentacles, making a hissing sound.
The demon let out a mournful howl, but it did not back down. It gritted its teeth and used its six burning tentacles to block the princess's fatal blow.
Because it knew that as long as it blocked this attack, it would have a chance.
call-!
A whistling sound came from the side.
It's Ado.
The ogre's reaction was incredibly fast. As if telepathically connected with the princess, it raised its spiked club at the same instant and smashed it down on the bearded monster's head!
The demon tried to dodge, but it was too late.
It could barely raise its arms, along with its remaining six tentacles, in an attempt to block the attack.
But Ado's power has already reached an astonishing 15 points!
The massive spiked club crashed down with a whistling sound, like a meteorite falling.
boom! ! !
The demon's arms snapped the moment they made contact, bone fragments piercing its skin and gushing dark purple blood. The spiked club, its momentum undiminished, smashed down on its head.
Click!
The sound of the skull cracking was clearly audible.
The demon's body trembled violently before collapsing limply.
But it's not completely dead yet.
The princess's figure reappeared, and the hammer slammed down.
boom!
The final leg, the end.
Ado and the princess exchanged a glance, said nothing, and simultaneously turned and pounced on their next target.
