"This is..." Lightning could not help but widen her eyes and slow down.
The demonic beasts numbered in the tens of thousands and formed a wide black carpet on the snowfield. Their moving bodies reminded her of ants gnawing on corpses.
But this time, they were not facing corpses at their mercy, but the equally brutal demons.
The skeletal monsters, which were as tall as the Miracle Building, moved slowly among the demonic beasts. It seemed that they were being pushed by the enemies, but with every step they took, several demonic beasts who could not dodge in time would be trampled into meat paste. Compared to their size, the four twisted legs were as slender as tree branches. But the little girl knew that if she looked closely, the monster's limbs were probably even thicker than Ms. Agatha's Mage Tower.
Many Mad Demons attached themselves to its abdomen and launched wave after wave of spear attacks. The demonic beasts could only bite the bullet and move forward, unable to effectively fight back.
"Magic Parasites."
She could not help but think of this title.
It was a deformed demon between the living and the dead. It did not have a fixed body and lived between the skeletons and black stones like a tumor, relying on magic power to attack or move. The new Spider Demons in the battle of the Northbound Slope and the behemoth in front of her now were probably the same kind of demon.
No matter how sharp their fangs were, they would basically meet the same end if they hit the stones. Helpless, the demonic beasts could only bypass the skeletal monsters and attack the main force in the rear.
Without the protection of the city wall, it should be a fierce battle.
However, the berserk beasts might have the upper hand against unarmed humans, but they were clearly powerless against the Mad Demons who had outstanding strength and speed. Although there were many hybrids among them, the demons had also put the Lord of Hell, the Siege Beasts, and the Spider Demons in the front line. The speed at which they killed the hybrids was not much slower than that of the First Army. Obviously, the demonic beasts outnumbered the demons by several times, but the latter still had the upper hand.
Maggie probably realized that she had slowed down, so she poked her head out again. Seeing such a shocking scene, she could not help but gasp.
"The demonic beasts are fighting with the demons, coo?"
"This must be the reason why Neverwinter has been so peaceful this year during the Months of Demons." Lightning pretended to be mature and said, "But there is one thing that is very strange. Didn't the ancient Taquila witches say that demonic beasts always come looking for the relics of the gods? If I were the Devil King, I definitely wouldn't bring the relics to this wasteland where there was nothing. In other words, there should be another reason for them to gather here. It's a pity that Sylvie can't travel with us. Otherwise, we would definitely be able to gather more information. "
Maggie tilted her head. "Do you still want to surprise them?"
"Of course!" Lightning said without hesitation, "We're so close to the Taquila ruins, but the Devilbeasts haven't come looking for trouble, which means they don't have time to pay attention to the surroundings. This is a great opportunity for us. "
There was no doubt that the demons and demonic beasts were all enemies of His Majesty. If they could make the monsters fight more fiercely, it would also relieve some pressure on the expedition plan after the beginning of spring.
She roughly estimated the magic power in her body. If she flew at a speed faster than the speed of sound, she could probably hold on for about three to four minutes. To be on the safe side, it was absolutely safe to leave half of her magic power for escape. In the remaining two minutes, if they wanted to shake the demons' defense line, it was crucial to choose a flying position.
The little girl set her eyes on the skeletal monsters.
These huge deformed structures looked like crooked benches from afar. Their bodies were made of flat black stone bones, which were quite similar to the glider runways built by His Majesty on the coast of the East Sea. They were simply ideal targets for a low-altitude pass.
According to the results of her ability test, the lower she was from the ground, the more damage she could cause. If she could fly close to the enemies, the Mad Demon in their abdomen would definitely be greatly affected.
Since her High Awakening, His Majesty had forced her to instill a lot of high-speed flying principles into her mind. She also learned that the explosion of energy when crossing the sound barrier had a lot to do with the size of the body. If it was Maggie who exceeded the speed of sound in the sky above Neverwinter on the day of her Awakening, the whole city would probably suffer.
Therefore, the little girl did not plan to defeat the demons in one fell swoop.
She just needed to let the Mad Demon slow down its attack.
As there was a death zone right under the skeletal monsters, the demonic beasts had to move to the sides, which greatly hindered their advancement. Without these unscrupulous enemies, the demons' defense line would definitely be under greater pressure.
Even if the plan did not succeed, it would not affect her at all.
After making the decision, Lightning pressed Maggie's head into her arms and swooped down toward the nearest skeletal monster!
At that moment, she had completely thrown Roland's advice to the back of her mind.
No one could catch the tail of the sound. It was time to show the demons her real flying skills!
She covered the distance of several kilometers in the blink of an eye. When she appeared above the battlefield, she had already entered the realm of silence.
But that was only in her eyes.
In the eyes of the demons, there was a sudden rumble of thunder in the sky and it kept pressing down on the ground. It was the explosion caused by the collision between the front and the rear. When Lightning changed her direction and flew five meters above the skeletal monster, the explosion turned the snow into clouds of white mist, almost covering the whole body of the monster. The deafening explosion made the demons roar in pain!
But she had no time to observe the effect, because there were five other similar targets waiting for her on the battlefield.
Just when she was about to fly over the third skeleton monster, something unexpected happened!
She saw a figure suddenly appear on the bare platform. No one noticed where it came from, but the moment it stood there, it instantly captured all of her attention. Although they were separated by a long distance, Lightning felt a chill run down her spine, and even her fingers could not help but tremble.
It was a demon, but it had a very similar appearance to a human. Except for the blue skin, there was almost no other difference. Its facial features were extraordinary, and its golden eyes seemed to be deeper than the abyss of hell. Just by looking at it, Lightning felt like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake. She felt instinctive fear from the bottom of her heart.
What kind of monster is this!
She could feel the surging magic power of the demon, which was so strong that it even distorted the surrounding vision. This kind of oppression was almost tangible. She was obviously flying at a high speed, but she felt like she was in a sticky quagmire, and she was getting closer and closer to it.
Run!
Run!
The consciousness in her mind warned her that she could not fly anymore, she must run away immediately!
But her body could not move at all, as if it was completely out of her control.
And the demon slowly raised its right arm towards her.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest!
It was as if someone had driven a nail straight into her body —
It was Maggie!
As the pain spread throughout her body, her limbs instantly returned to her control, and even the passage of time returned to normal.
