Report

As pure creatures of the abyss, demons were repelled by almost all the prime material planes.

The evil, chaos, and filth they represented were no less toxic to all beings of the prime material plane, and could even corrode the souls of beings of the prime material plane.

Souls killed or devoured by demons, even if they were worshippers of the gods, would not be able to remain in the upper planes. They would fall into the Abyssal World along with other filthy souls, where they would be tormented by the harsh environment.

They charged into the Magus World wave after wave, unafraid of death, all for the chance to harvest the souls of beings of the prime material plane. The more they killed, the more souls they corrupted, and the greater the feedback they would receive from the Abyssal Will when they returned to the Abyssal World.

In other planes, it was extremely difficult to advance a rank. One had to continuously temper their body and mind, accumulate energy, and gamble with the illusory Will of the Plane. However, the advancement of abyssal demons was abnormally simple and quick. As long as they could constantly kill and plunder soul energy, they would be able to rise endlessly.

Hence, if they were lucky enough, an abyssal demon could evolve from the most basic abyssal larva to a greater demon of rank 4 in just two or three years.

With such a rapid growth time and such a simple and direct path to advancement, the abyssals didn't need to think about anything or research anything. Instead, they only needed to focus on killing and swallowing.

It had to be said that abyssal demons were extremely terrifying slaughterers compared to most beings of the other planes.

With the death of a large number of demons on the battlefield, their flesh and corpses turned into black water that continuously contaminated and polluted the land. Imperceptibly, the area around the spatial rift had already completed its initial demonization process.

As a result, the abyssal aura that seeped out from the rift repelled the laws of the Magus World even further away, causing the battlefield to become more and more like the barren and cruel Abyssal World.

In such a battlefield, the human Magi enjoyed less and less support from the plane, while the abyssal demons, who were invaders, suffered less and less pressure from the plane.

With this, the difference in strength between the two sides grew greater and greater.

After a long period of charging, the magic cannons on the Vasero airship were ready once more. As a thick red light streaked across the sky, the energy beam once again shot toward the demon lord who ruled this battlefield.

Unfortunately, this powerful attack was easily dodged by Finus with a simple teleportation.

The energy beam brushed past, melting a bottomless hole in the pitch-black ground.

Just by relying on his powerful regenerative ability, Demon Lord Finus had already begun to repair the one-meter diameter hole in his chest. At the same time, its injuries changed from 'Heavy Injury' to 'Light Injury'.

If it was given a little more time, perhaps even the last bit of injury would disappear. At that time, Finus would once again be a terrifying demon with astonishing combat strength.

The powerful regenerative abilities of demonic creatures were indeed incomparable to those of existential planes.

The spatial rift was still swallowing all kinds of demons. Among them were chattering Imps, Horned Demons, Fire Throwers, as well as Vlo Demons, Berserker Demons, Succubi, Crimson Flame Demons and other Intermediate Demons.

These fellows, who would usually kill and devour each other when they met, had now become allies on the battlefield under the suppression of the Demon Lord Finus. Even though they still disliked each other, a large-scale internal massacre did not happen.

They gathered together according to their tribes and natures, and their ranks gradually became thicker.

Most of the Abyssal Demons charged toward the War Wizard Pagoda in the distance without hesitation under Finus's kicks and roars. As for the remaining fellows, they could not suppress their irritable and ecstatic emotions. They sniffed the unique scent of the Main Substance Plane and followed the scent of delicious flesh and blood to the periphery.

They could not wait to explore this beautiful world that was filled with the fragrance of food!

If these Abyssal Demons were allowed to infiltrate the human society, even a one or two year old fellows would be able to wreak havoc and make life difficult for the people.

After all, the difference in strength between ordinary humans and the Abyssal Demons was too great.

Furthermore, one side was a ferocious demon that crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, while the other side was a barefooted farmer that picked up a knife and fork … Even if the latter's numbers were a hundred or a thousand times greater, they would not be able to change the tragic fate of being hunted and devoured.

Even a group of rabbits armed to the teeth would not be able to contend against lions and tigers!

Seeing that the situation was being turned around by the Abyssal Demons, Captain Locke on the Vasero Warship waved his hand, and a Magical Weapon Group of 700 people descended from the Floating Ship to the ground. They then formed into a tight battle formation and advanced toward the front of the battlefield.

The Magical Weapon Group had a total of 700 people, including 500 PG-52 Combat Magical Machines and 200 Gnome Mechanical Warlocks.

They were not like Wizard Beasts that needed to engage in close combat with the Abyssal Demons. As a group of long-range firepower, from the moment they stepped onto the battlefield, their Mark II Magic Cannons, Magic Rapid-Fire Cannons, Quadruple Magical Ray Guns, and Honeycomb Gnome Missiles started firing continuously.

The ferocious firepower and powerful long-range firepower turned every Abyssal Demon that entered their attack range into a sieve, exploding into pieces of flesh and blood. In an instant, the cannons rumbled, and the rays of light rained down, suppressing the Abyssal Demons that had just gained a slight advantage.

When a four-meter-tall Berserker saw the Magical Weapon Group's arrogance, its eyes turned bloodshot as it charged forward. As it charged, it raised its hand and pointed at the sky above the Magical Weapon Group.

In the next second, a black-red cloud of fire rumbled, and meteors descended from the sky one after another.

Meteor Shower!

It was a simple Tier 3 fire-type spell.

Although its attack power was not as strong as a Tier 3 Fire Shaman, it was more than enough to disrupt the enemy's formation and attack. If it encountered an enemy with low magic resistance, this Tier 3 spell would probably be enough to annihilate half of them.

Facing the powerful Abyssal Demons' counterattack, the Magical Weapon Group instantly displayed superb combat skills.

The few Metal Magical Weapons at the front of the battle sheathed their long-range weapons and pulled out metal axes or blades from their backs, charging at the Berserker. The Metal Magical Weapons at the back raised their cannons and fired a concentrated barrage, blasting the meteors in the air one after another.

Even the cloud of fire in the sky was blasted into pieces by the Gnome Missiles, losing the ability to condense meteors.

The Magical Weapons in the middle of the battle ignored the Berserker's attacks and continued to advance, braving the rain of fire that rained down from the sky.

Before the Berserker could even engage the Metal Magical Weapon, its body was already covered in wounds and blood. In this sudden battle, although it smashed a Magic Machine into pieces with its powerful force, causing sparks to fly, it was also overturned by the Magic Machine Warriors that swarmed it, its head was chopped off, and its limbs were chopped off.

When the Alden Family's wizards saw this scene, they were shocked, and their imagination began to run wild.

One had to know that a Tier 3 Hezrou was a dual-cultivator of magic and martial arts, possessing instantaneous spell-like spells and powerful physical strength. Even a Tier 4 Hezrou could fight for a few rounds with a Tier 4 Wizard.

Logically speaking, such a powerful Evil Demon was not something that low-level creatures could kill simply by relying on numbers. However, on the battlefield before them, this Tier 3 Berserker was defeated by a group of Metal Magical Weapons, whose average level was only Tier 2.

And this group of Metal Magical Weapons relied on their extremely fierce long-range firepower!

If the target of the battle was changed, it would be a Tier 3 wizard fighting against this Magical Weapon Group. How long could this Tier 3 wizard last, and how many Metal Magical Weapons could he destroy before he died?

After a simple calculation, all the wizards of the Alden Family could not help but break out in a cold sweat, their hearts beating wildly.

Zero!

If both sides fought to the death, the Tier 3 wizard might not even be able to destroy a single Metal Magical Weapon before the Magical Weapon Group broke through his defense and turned him into a sieve.

Of course, if the Tier 3 wizard could fight while retreating, find an opportunity to release a high-grade spell, then run away, and sneak back to find an opportunity to release a high-grade wizard …

With this method, it was very possible to slowly wear down this Magical Weapon Group without a high-grade wizard.

However, this assumption was based on the fact that the wizards on one side could recover quickly, and the Magical Weapon Group did not have any follow-up methods. Once the gigantic airship above their heads entered the battlefield, the so-called "wretched sneak attack style" would become a joke.

Everyone had seen the power of the Giant Magic Cannons!

The Demon Lords could dodge them easily, but it did not mean that human wizards could do the same.

Therefore, if a war broke out between the Crimson Family and the Alden Family, even if the Crimson Family did not send a single high-grade wizard, they could still defeat the Alden Family with the combination of the giant ship and Metal Magical Weapons.

The victory would definitely belong to the Crimson Family. The only difference would be the number of Metal Magical Weapons lost!

The death of the Berserker seemed to have opened the curtains. In the next 15 minutes, another four high-level demons died under the dense cannon fire.

This time, let alone the human wizards, even the Demon Lord Finus could not help but look over.

Finus, who had led his demon subordinates to attack and pillage more than a dozen planes, could not help but be surprised. It was the first time he saw a plane that used Metal Magical Weapons as the main force on a large scale.

Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him and he went to the wrong plane? This … is not the Sorcerer World?
