Sauron was seriously injured.
Even if he had evolved into the elite form of the [Flaming Demon], only a small part of his injuries had healed. It was quite dangerous to challenge a more powerful enemy. Sauron's original body could do it because he had enough abilities, good equipment, and other means to turn the tables. But now the new demon incarnation didn't have so many trump cards, and the abilities were basically not trained. Needless to say, the only advantage was the inherited combat skills.
At the most critical moment, Sauron was even almost beaten into a near-death state by the bone demon, but fortunately, he survived.
After killing an officer level bone demon, Sauron's ability improved greatly. The Flame Demon's' Entanglement 'ability was a very useful combat skill that could directly trap some enemies with insufficient strength. Sauron's first few battles were with the help of the flame whip. If he evolved into a Balor in the future, he could directly strangle some weak enemies.
For now.
The important abilities Sauron still lacked from becoming a Balor were proficiency in dual-wielding, telekinesis (instant ability), powerful cleave, fierce attack, proficiency in attacking first, and so on.
These abilities would probably have to wait until he evolved into the [Flame Demon] form before he could try to master them.
"Entanglement [Special Ability]: The + 1 flame whip of the Flaming Demon can entangle the opponent like a net attack. The flame whip has 20 HP and doesn't need to be folded. Once the whip hits the target, the target must go through a Strength Test with itself. If you win, you can pull the target to your body full of flames. The entangled target will be temporarily restrained, and enemies whose physique and strength are crushed will trigger an additional Test of Death. "
The elite form of the Flaming Demon inadvertently had a part of the power of the Flame Demon.
Although the ability to entangle was very useful, what Sauron wanted the most was not this, but the 'Greater Teleportation' that could only be mastered by middle to high grade demons.
This was the real core ability.
If he could comprehend the 'Greater Teleportation', Sauron could cut in and leave the battlefield at any time, whether it was healing, killing, or retreating, it would be quite convenient.
From the looks of it, he seemed to be a little short of accumulation. (Note: Most high-level demons and devils have the ability to teleport.)
After evolving into his Elite form, Sauron's Basic Attributes and HP had been strengthened. His height had also grown close to 2.5 meters, making him look like a small giant. Once he evolved into his Flame Demon form, Sauron's height would reach over three meters. At the same time, he would be able to suppress medium-sized enemies in all aspects.
This body type was not suitable for delicate combat, but if it was a technique like the sword form [Beheading], then the power would become quite huge!
Sauron needed some time to get used to his combat abilities. Every time his body size changed, there would be a period of time for him to adapt.
Therefore, he quickly retreated.
When Sauron retreated from the battlefield, he found that the center of the battlefield had become a mess. There were two places that attracted the most attention. One was the Eye Devil army that rarely appeared in bloody battles, and the other was a Balor with a death scythe.
What a powerful weapon!
A very, very powerful weapon!
Without even activating his perception, Sauron could feel the powerful force contained in the Grim Reaper's Scythe burning with black flames!
He was not sure if it was a divine artifact.
But he was sure that its real power would not be weaker than a divine artifact. This kind of weapon from the underworld rarely fell into the Abyss, and it seemed to be a weapon specially prepared for the Balor after modification.
The Demon Warlord did not stop Sauron from retreating.
In fact, there were not many living demons on his side of the battlefield.
At this time.
He had a little time to heal himself, and at the same time, he retreated to the rear of the army and checked his attributes after his evolution:
"Name: Sauron.

…
His attributes had been further improved because of the change in form. Sauron had now changed from [Medium Creature] to [Large Creature].
The most obvious change was not the various basic attributes that had been increased, but one of Sauron's abilities. His [Intimidation] had suddenly skyrocketed to 210 points, which was almost comparable to the [Intimidation] ability of the main body!
It was incredible.
Sauron himself did not know why [Intimidation] suddenly increased so much.
Could it be that his current appearance was very scary?!
Sauron did not have a mirror around him, so he could not see his current appearance. However, when he reached out and touched it, it seemed that the changes were not very big. He still looked like a hybrid between a half-elf and a demon, like a purgatory demon hybrid. Other than his sharp ears and dark red skin, there were no obvious changes in his appearance. The outline of his face was still more humanoid, unlike the other demons with green faces and fangs that bared their fangs and brandished their claws.
It was just that his body size had increased from 1 to 1.5, and his muscles were full of explosive pressure!
"Seems like it will be much easier to lead demons in the future."
In an extremely chaotic place like the Bottomless Abyss, [Negotiation] was definitely not as useful as [Intimidation] and [Deception]. As long as his [Intimidation] ability was high enough, it would be much easier to control other demons.
This might be the bonus of the Elite template. Elite monsters were originally small bosses.
As Sauron retreated to the rear, the nearby demons opened up a path for him. Even the Hezrou who was hostile to him did not dare to look straight into Sauron's eyes. There was even a trace of reverence on their faces when they approached him. As for the other low-level demons, if they were not careful and were stared at by Sauron, they would tremble in fear. Even if they were not the low-level demons under Sauron's command, he seemed to be able to command them now. As for the specific changes, he would have to slowly figure it out in the future.
…
The demon army's casualties were increasing.
The scales of victory seemed to be tilted to the demon army's side. The six-armed snake demons tore apart the demon army's formation, and some had even rushed to the rear. The Balor's figure constantly disappeared and reappeared. Every time it appeared, it would take the life of a demon. The Eye Demon army was the most terrifying long-range force. The omnipresent rays made it impossible for the demons to get close. Most of the demons at the rear were closing in. A large number of middle-level demons acted as the core and crushed the demon army.
As long as there were loopholes in the demon's formation, the huge number of demons could drown them.
But!
The uneasiness in Sauron's heart grew stronger.
For the past thousand years, the demons had always lost more than they won. Such a situation made him feel strange everywhere. There were too few centaurs and the core troops of the Balor's demons were nowhere to be seen. Although there were many middle-level and high-level demons, the true elites did not seem to be here. There were also no signs of the Hell Demon Generals and the top-notch blood armies that they led.
There must be other battles breaking out!
Either the demons were hiding some conspiracy, or their true goal was somewhere else.
Roar.
A deep roar sounded from the distant horizon.
Roar! Roar!
Roar! Roar! Roar! The roar was so familiar to Sauron that he couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over his body. He retreated almost instantly without turning back.
Dragons!
Dragons!
Many, many dragons!
Some dragons appeared in the distant sky. Red Dragons, White Dragons, Green Dragons, Blue Dragons, and Black Dragons. The five-colored dragons of the evil alignment seemed to have all appeared at this moment.
Adult dragons appeared on the edge of the battlefield, flew from the back of the blood fortress, and then swooped down toward the demon army. A terrible dragon's breath covered the battlefield. It was like the most ruthless slaughter, crushing the demon army's attack in an instant. The Balor, who was advancing triumphantly at the beginning, almost turned around and ran as soon as he saw the situation was not right. The six-armed snake demon was heavily surrounded, and the Soul Judgement Demon and the Glabrezu were also retreating quickly.
The demons' conspiracy!
They actually invited the five-colored dragons as helpers. At least 20 adult dragons appeared in front of them. This kind of terrible combat power could completely determine the outcome of a bloody battle.
"[Mother of Evil Dragons] – Tiamat!"
The god that the five-colored dragons served, the five-headed dragon with [Lesser Divine Power]. Its strength was as high as 49 points. It was a powerful evil god that lived in the Baator Inferno.
[Mother of Evil Dragons] itself was a terrible five-headed dragon, and it had the power of a god!
For a long time.
The number of times that she could be persuaded to participate in the bloody battle could be counted on one hand, and the situation in front of them was obviously her doing. Because other than the Mother of Evil Dragons, Sauron really couldn't think of anyone else who could control the red dragons, green dragons, blue dragons, black dragons, and white dragons at the same time. The five-colored dragons were not united internally. There was only one person who could make them fight together, and that was the [Mother of Evil Dragons] – Tiamat.
The outcome of the battlefield was already decided.
Unless a demon lord appeared, or a god incarnation appeared, it was impossible for the demons to defeat so many adult dragons.
Sauron was retreating quickly.
However, after seeing so many five-colored dragons, he didn't have much fear in his mind. Instead, he felt very regretful. He murmured, "All the five-colored dragons are here! If my original body was on the battlefield, I can probably complete the [Dragon Slayer] with the help of my divine power! "
"What a pity."
