However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, an abnormal situation that suddenly appeared made the unstoppable expedition stop in their tracks. When the mages bombarded a group of densely packed Abyssal Demons with a magic storm, an inexplicable force suddenly pulled the magic storm in another direction, and all of it surged into the gate of a palace all at once.
What was even more strange was that after the magic storm surged into the palace, it didn't let out any explosive sounds. Instead, it disappeared silently.
Then, from the gate of the palace, a bloated, ugly monster walked out, or rather crawled out. That monster was like an obese Abyssal Demon Dragon. There were two sharp horns on its huge head, but they looked as if they had grown two ridiculous thorns. Its mouth was so huge that it seemed like it could swallow a raging bull in one bite.
The reason that the monster crawled out was because its limbs, which were supposed to be thick and sturdy, seemed extremely slender on its bloated body. It was as if it had completely lost the meaning of its existence. The monster was simply wriggling its abdomen like a snake or a disgusting maggot, and slowly crawled out of the palace gate.
As soon as they saw the disgusting monster appear, the mages of the expedition immediately chanted magic spells, and once again formed a powerful magic storm that whistled towards the monster's body. At the same time, the 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons of the Rotterdam Kingdom also fired 10 rays of dazzling light that were as thick as buckets at the monster.
However, in the face of such an attack from the expedition, the monster raised its head unhurriedly, and opened its huge mouth that was even larger than its body. It then sucked in the magic storm and the light from the cannons. The magic storm that filled the sky and the incomparably sharp light from the mana cannons seemed to have been accelerated, and all of them fell into the monster's huge mouth. There was no more sound after that.
Upon sight of this situation, the members of the expedition couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Be it the magic storm or the Magical Crystal Cannons, they might not be invincible, but they were definitely not something that anyone could withstand, let alone swallow them alive.
"Lord Devourer Garl, this disgusting guy actually came here!" Connoris had lived in the Endless Abyss for countless years, and had considerable knowledge of the famous Demon Lords in the Abyss. Hence, he immediately identified the monster.
"Lord Devourer. This title does match its characteristics. So its name is Garl." Lin Li did not seem to be surprised by the scene just now. Instead, he had a peculiar expression on his face, and he seemed to be muttering to himself.
At this moment, Donald, who was eager to perform, had already ordered the Alchemy Colossuses in the team to attack. The dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses took heavy steps towards the Lord Devourer, Garl, who was in front of the palace gate.
Clearly, the Lord Devourer, Garl, had the ability to devour magical power. If he were to use magic spells or the Magical Crystal Cannons to attack from afar, he would undoubtedly be giving himself a feast. However, anyone could tell that Lin Li's bloated body definitely did not have any advantage in terms of movement. Even the clumsy Alchemy Colossus was countless times more agile than Lin Li.
Hence, Donald directly ordered the Alchemy Colossuses to attack, thinking that they would be able to easily tear Garl's bloated body into pieces with the powerful Alchemy Colossuses.
However, at this time, the Abyssal Demons around the expedition did not decrease. Instead, they were still swarming in from all directions. Although the Alchemy Colossuses of the Rotterdam Kingdom had a strong impact, it was not very smooth for them to leave the team and move towards the Lord Devourer.
Fortunately, although Donald was eager to perform in front of Lin Li, he still maintained a certain degree of caution. The Alchemy Colossuses that he sent out were not the ones that had been acting as the vanguard of the expedition. Instead, they were the other dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses that were slightly smaller but had better mobility.
The dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses were like warriors among the Alchemy Colossuses. They were waving wide swords in their hands, and there were also barbs on their joints that looked like machetes. After rushing into the group of Abyssal Demons, they immediately exerted great combat power. At the same time, the other Alchemy Colossuses of the expedition, as well as the 10 mobile Magical Crystal Cannons, were also doing their best to clear the enemies on the way.
Seeing that the Alchemy Colossuses were getting closer and closer to the huge body of the Lord Devourer, Donald's face gradually revealed a hint of smugness. It was as if he could already see the scene of the monster being torn into pieces by the Alchemy Colossuses.
While the expedition was resisting the attack of the demon army, they were also watching the progress of the dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses. Like Donald, they also thought that the dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses could definitely be said to be the nemesis of the monster. As long as they could rush in front of it, the monster could basically be said to be at their mercy.
However, at this moment, the huge body of the Lord Devourer, Garl, lowered its head slightly, and suddenly opened its huge mouth in the direction of the dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses that seemed to be able to swallow the sky and the sun.
Next, they could even see a strong suction force in front of Lord Devourer forming a huge cyclone. First, the Abyssal Demons in front of it suddenly looked extremely flustered, as if they wanted to escape from that area. However, their bodies involuntarily retreated faster and faster, and in the end, they even directly flew up.
A large number of Abyssal Demons, including the Rock Demons that were not inferior to the Alchemy Colossuses, the short Abyssal Dwarves, the Nine-headed Magical Snake that was emitting poisonous gas, and so on, let out a shrill roar. However, no matter how they struggled, they could not escape the strong suction force, until they were sucked into the huge mouth of Lord Devourer.
"Quick, retreat!" Donald, who was in the team, turned pale with fright. He originally thought that Lord Devourer only knew how to devour all kinds of energy, but after seeing what happened to the Abyssal Demons, he realized that Lord Devourer was not picky at all, and would even eat a rock like the Rock Demon.
However, at this time, Donald's order to retreat was obviously already spoken too late. Although the dozen or so Alchemy Colossuses already knew that the situation was not good when Lord Devourer began to devour the Abyssal Demons, and began to retreat with all their might. However, the powerful force of the Alchemy Colossuses was obviously unable to resist under the suction force of Lord Devourer.
In just the blink of an eye, the few Alchemy Colossuses that were originally charging at the front had already left the ground and flew up. After leaving the ground, they naturally had even less strength to resist the suction force of Lord Devourer. One by one, they suddenly sped up and fell into the huge mouth of Lord Devourer.
Although Lord Devourer's body was very large, the combined size of a few Alchemy Colossuses was not much smaller than that of Lord Devourer. With the addition of the Abyssal Demons that had been devoured, the size would be even larger. However, after devouring the Alchemy Colossuses and Abyssal Demons, Lord Devourer's body did not change at all. It was as if its stomach was simply a bottomless pit.
Seeing this scene, even Lin Li was a little surprised. It was not that he wanted to plot against the Rotterdam Kingdom, but he did not expect Lord Devourer to have such a good appetite.
Back when he was exploring the Well of the Sun in the Endless World, Lin Li had indeed fought with Lord Devourer. However, at that time, he was a Hunter, and he was alone. Although he had also seen Lord Devourer devour many Abyssal Demons during the battle, those were bodies of flesh and blood, after all, while the Alchemy Colossuses were made of tough steel.
However, it was precisely because he saw Lord Devourer devouring the Alchemy Colossuses that Lin Li could basically confirm that Lord Devourer should have mastered some kind of decomposition rule, and could disintegrate any substance into its own power instead of relying on the digestive power of its body. Otherwise, no matter how strong its digestive power was, it would probably not be able to digest a few Alchemy Colossuses in an instant.
On the expedition's side, under Donald's orders, the 20 Alchemy Colossuses that were acting as the vanguard of the team also hurriedly shot out iron hooks that were connected to chains to hook the few Alchemy Colossuses that were originally attacking at the back, and slowly pulled them back to the team.
"Roar!" Seemingly dissatisfied with having its food snatched, Lord Devourer let out a furious roar, and a gloomy cloud instantly condensed above the expedition's head. Next, thunderbolts, hailstones, and meteorites bombarded the expedition team like raindrops.
Fortunately, at this time, the mages of the Tower of Dusk put up a magical defense in time, and layers of magical barriers enveloped the entire expedition. Although it only blocked a wave of magical attacks from Lord Devourer, it also bought time for the others to react. With the addition of the Brilliance Priests and the rest of the team, the defense finally stabilized.
However, at the same time, the Abyssal Demons around the expedition also seemed to have gone mad, and they began to attack the expedition without fear of death. Some of the Abyssal Demons even pounced on the expedition and self-destructed directly, the power of which was not inferior to the powerful Legendary-level magic.
Under the ferocious attacks of Lord Devourer and the many Abyssal Demons, the expedition that was originally unstoppable finally fell into a passive state again. The only consolation was that with the efforts of the 20 Alchemy Colossuses, they finally managed to snatch a few Alchemy Colossuses from the mouth of Lord Devourer.
At this moment, Donald really wanted to cry. If the Alchemy Colossuses were only damaged, they could at least be repaired. Even if they could not be repaired, at least the metallurgists inside could be preserved. They were all talents that had been carefully nurtured. But now, even the metallurgists in the Alchemy Colossuses had been swallowed by that monster. It was obviously impossible to get them back.
