The Fire Demon's body twisted slightly in midair. With a loud bang, it turned into nothingness in a flash of red light. An Undead Fire Demon was destroyed by Dumb's powerful strength.
Dumb flew up with the Sumeru Sword in his hand and shouted, "Fire Demon, come out! Let's fight to the death!" As if intimidated by Dumb's strength, there was no sound in the entire basin, and no Fire Demon appeared. Everything seemed so quiet. Dumb frowned slightly and expanded his spiritual sense to the limit, searching for the whereabouts of the Fire Demon.
Pope commanded everyone to maintain the formation and search deep into the valley, but the Fire Demon disappeared like a flash in the pan. At this moment, a voice sounded in Dumb's ears. "Oh no, Dumb, go back quickly. The Fire Demons have probably gone to attack your base." Dumb's body trembled. This voice belonged to Xian Xian. Hearing her words, Dumb's heart immediately sank. He cried out involuntarily, "Oh no, Grandpa, let's go quickly. The Fire Demons have probably gone to attack the base." More than half of the experts of the allied forces were gathered here. Apart from Wind Wen and the leaders of the various races, the base was filled with soldiers, Holy Knights, and priests of the Holy Hall. Although there were many of them, they definitely could not pose a threat to the Fire Demons.
Pope's expression changed drastically. "How did you know?"
Dumb said anxiously, "There's no time to explain. I'll go back first. You guys hurry up. With the blood of the Divine Dragon as a guide, open the gate of time and space. "Blue light lit up, and the figures of Little Bones and Holy Evil appeared in front of everyone. After a few days of rest, they had completely recovered. "Little Bones, Holy Evil, carry as many people as you can and return to the Rotten Dragon's territory immediately." After saying that, he unleashed his speed to the limit and turned into a streak of golden light with the Sumeru Sword, flying back the way they came.
Rotten Dragon's territory, the allied forces' temporary base.
After everyone left, the cautious Wind Wen immediately ordered her subordinates to strengthen the defenses of the base. However, it was difficult for them to dig out Yanshi due to the hard geology of the Death Mountain Range. Therefore, they could only adjust the formation and strengthen the defense. Oliveira accompanied Tiya as they patrolled the Yakin people's warriors. Ever since Dumb and Xuanyue had built a bridge, Oliveira had been extremely proactive and often went to find Tiya. The relationship between the two was rather complicated, and Tiya had some misgivings. Although she had a good impression of Oliveira, she didn't dare to accept him easily. The two of them were just ordinary friends now.
Looking at the soldiers in full armor and full of fighting spirit, Oliveira said, "Tiya, the equipment of the Yakin people is no worse than Marshal Windtext's Holy Light Army!"
Tiya smiled and said, "After all, the main business of the Yakin people is mining and smelting. We produce too many weapons and armor. Of course, we have to equip our army with the best."
Oliveira said, "It's a pity that I'm not a warrior. Otherwise, I would definitely ask you to tailor-make a set of armor for me. Tiya, you look so beautiful in armor! " Indeed, Tiya was wearing a set of dark gold armor today. The workmanship was extremely exquisite. This was a set of armor with three layers of magical defense. It was extremely precious, and its market value was definitely more than ten thousand diamond coins. Under the contrast of the armor, Tiya's originally beautiful appearance added a bit of heroic spirit. Oliveira's gaze never left her face.
Tiya smiled sweetly and said, "You, don't be so discontented. There aren't many mages like you on the continent. You don't know how many warriors envy you. "
Looking at that smile that was as bright as spring flowers, Oliveira was completely enchanted. She said uncontrollably, "Tiya, actually, I …" Just as she said that, something strange happened. Not far in front of them, a scorching heat suddenly came from the solid ground. A loud roar sounded, and countless gravel shot in all directions. Without any preparation, both of them were shocked. Tiya pulled him back, and the fighting energy of the Clear Wind and Bright Moon that she learned from her teacher, Yun Yi, suddenly burst forth. Carrying Oliveira, she flew a hundred feet away. At the same time, she set up a fighting energy boundary behind them to block the gravel that was chasing after them. Clanging sounds rang out continuously. Many warriors of the Yakin people were hit by the gravel. However, their armor was indeed hard, and only a few of them suffered minor injuries. A black figure that was three meters tall appeared among the crowd. A red light suddenly lit up, wrapping around the heavily armored soldiers around them. There was no time to react. The red light, which was thirty feet long, had already hit dozens of people. The red light disappeared as soon as it was released, and the soldiers who were touched by it slowly fell to the ground. Green smoke rose from their heavy armors, and the burnt smell made people want to vomit.
Oliveira looked at the huge creature in front of her in shock. Thinking of Dumb's description, she couldn't help but cry out, "This is the undead fire demon."
A cold light flashed in Tiya's eyes. She reached out and pulled out her longsword, staring at the evil creature in front of her. Oliveira took out the Wind God's Divine Staff and kept chanting. The undead fire demon had just appeared and was not used to its surroundings. Its huge head looked around, and with an angry roar, the fire whip in its hand lashed out again, attacking the soldiers around it. At this time, one fire demon after another appeared in the entire camp of the allied army. Their huge fire whips brought disaster to the allied army. The Holy Knights could use their holy light equipment to resist a little, but the ordinary soldiers of the various races could do nothing to the fire demons. No one could rush in front of them, and even throwing spears couldn't penetrate their thick armor. In just a few minutes, hundreds of fire demons had appeared, and thousands of soldiers of the allied army had died in their hands. Green smoke rose from their armor and fell to the ground everywhere.
Tia watched as the undead fire demon in front of her killed a hundred of her soldiers. She could not hold it in any longer. She unleashed her Battle Aura of the Clear Wind and Bright Moon. Her entire body was enveloped in a pale blue radiance as she pounced toward the fire demon. A red light flashed in the fire demon's eyes. The fire whip in its hand, like a snake coming out of its hole, turned into circles and wrapped around Tiya. Tiya held a sword in her hand, and with a tinkling sound, she kept flicking away the fire whip that circled around her. However, her cultivation was far inferior to that of her master, the Eastern Sword Saint, Yun Yi. After a few blows, she was knocked back by the powerful impact. The fire demon did not give way. The fire whip flew after Tiya's delicate body. Once touched by the fire whip, the human body would burn from the inside out until death. At this moment, a cyan round shield flew out from behind Tiya and accurately blocked the attack of the fire whip for her. With a loud bang, the fire whip flew back and the cyan shield had disappeared. It was Oliveira's Nine Overlapping Wind Shield that came into play.
Oliveira supported Tiya as she stumbled to the ground and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Tiya shook her head and said, "Let's deal with him first. Be careful." She pulled Oliveira and the two of them moved three meters horizontally. A scorched chasm appeared on the ground beside them. It was the attack of the fire whip. A large number of heavily armored soldiers of the Yakin people rushed toward the fire demon to protect their patriarch. Under the ravages of the fire whip, they died one by one heroically. Oliveira's heart burned with rage. She blocked Tiya, who was about to rush forward. A cyan light shone through her body, and the speed of her chanting suddenly doubled. A strong halo shone from the Divine Staff of the Wind God. From the resistance of the wind shield just now, Oliveira discovered that although the fire demon was immune to magic other than water magic, he was immune to the special effects of magic. The impact of magic energy was still effective against him. She floated up and rushed toward the fire demon. Naturally, the fire demon would not give up this enemy who came to him. He circled the fire whip and lashed it at Oliveira. Oliveira's body suddenly divided into nine parts in the air, and countless cyan light spots quickly gathered around him. The fire demon's fire whip passed through one of his shadows and hit nothing. At this time, Oliveira's spell was finally completed. Nine fifth-level wind magic tornadoes flew out and rushed toward the fire demon from all directions. The fire demon was stunned for a moment. He withdrew the fire whip and tried to use his characteristic of not being afraid of magic to dissolve the nine tornadoes that didn't look very strong. However, he was wrong. Oliveira already had the cultivation of a Magic Shooter, and with the enhancement of the Divine Staff of the Wind God, he was now very close to the realm of a Magister. The nine tornadoes changed direction in the air at the same time, bypassed the attack of the fire whip, and quickly gathered together. Then, a terrible thing happened. A huge black tornado appeared in front of the Fire Demon. Its rapid rotation surprised the Fire Demon. He kept waving the fire whip in his hand, forming a layer of fiery wave-like barrier in front of him. The level-five superimposed spell that Oliveira used was not so easy to resist. Although the power of the fire whip was great, it seemed so insignificant in front of this wind magic that was close to a forbidden spell. This undead fire demon was swept into the cyan tornado together with his fire whip. The strong wind formed wind blades that constantly attacked his body. Cracks gradually appeared on the fire demon's armor, and his fire whip was twisted into pieces. Under this violent tornado, his strong body was finally dismembered. Oliveira vomited blood, and his handsome face was full of fatigue. Even he didn't expect to be able to use such a powerful magic. All the warriors of the Yakin people cheered. This powerful nightmare magic attack of Oliveira won everyone's respect.
Although Oliveira had successfully killed one fire demon, it was only one. The rest of the fire demons were wreaking havoc everywhere, and the casualties of the allied forces were rising. There weren't many experts in the allied army. Even Windmill could barely resist the attack of a Fire Demon. Under the Fire Whip that could directly burn one's soul, he was in an extremely difficult situation. He had no energy left to command the army. Even if he could command, it would be in vain. Even the most orderly army could not resist this kind of creature that was impossible to resist.
Just as the soldiers of the Yakin people cheered, another black figure appeared. Perhaps because he had discovered the death of his companions, he became unusually violent. He waved his fire whip continuously, taking hundreds of lives. Tiya cried out in grief. She let go of her hands that were supporting Oliveira, and activated her Fighting Aura of the Clear Wind and Bright Moon with all her might. She suddenly crashed into the dead fire demon. However, her strength was too insignificant. With a thud, she was already knocked back and fell beside Oliveira. The fire demon chased after them in anger. With just one step, he was already not far from them. The fire whip lashed out from his upper body like a bolt of lightning. Tiya's delicate body was illuminated by the fiery red light. Tiya's beautiful face paled. She knew that there was no way she could avoid this attack. At this critical moment, beside her, Oliveira suddenly turned over and threw himself onto Tiya, using his exhausted body to resist the fire demon's attack. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face. He said in a low voice, "Tiya, I love you." He suddenly hugged Tiya's delicate body, activated the last of his wind elemental energy, and waited for the arrival of death. For Tiya, he was willing to give up his life.
Tiya's whole body trembled violently. Oliveira's deep love made her eyes moist. The fire whip was less than two meters away from Oliveira's back. The scorching energy had dispersed all of Oliveira's wind elemental energy. Seeing that he was about to die under this fierce whip, the golden light suddenly flashed, and the fire whip in the air was broken into pieces. A shrill scream sounded. The fire demon was suddenly pierced by the golden sword full of huge energy. With a loud bang, it followed the footsteps of its companion. The owner of this golden sword was Dumb. He finally came back in time to save the lives of Oliveira and Tiya. The Sumeru Sword returned to his hand. Dumb landed beside Oliveira and Tiya and asked anxiously, "How are you?"
Two lines of tears flowed from Tiya's eyes. She held Oliveira's body with both hands and choked with sobs, "We, we are fine."
Oliveira originally thought that she was going to die, but she didn't feel any pain for a long time. Hearing Dumb's voice, she couldn't help but raise her head. Tiya's beautiful face appeared in front of her. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten everything. He said softly, "Tiya, why are you crying?"
Tiya suddenly hugged Oliveira's neck and murmured, "Thank you for protecting me. I, I love you too."
Although he didn't know what was going on, Dumb was still happy for them. After telling the surrounding warriors to protect them, he flew up and flew towards a nearby fire demon. Perhaps the Sumeru Sword was born with the effect of restraining the Fire Demon. Although Dumby attacked with all his strength with each sword strike, under his unique skill of controlling the sword with Qi, six Fire Demons died in his hands. At this time, Pope and the others also rushed over. Prophet Prín took the lead and commanded the Tilu warriors to rush towards the fire demons. The remaining ninety or so fire demons were fighting with the Tilu warriors. A large number of support spells fell on all the allied warriors. They were no longer as fragile as before. Under the command of Pope and the four red-robed priests, the chaotic situation was somewhat under control. Xi Wen and Fengwen led the people of Tiangang School to help the Tilu warriors temporarily resist the attack of the fire demons. The fire demons' previous advantage was gradually lost. Under the siege of the allied masters, they died one after another. Although the undead fire demons were cunning, they made one mistake. They shouldn't have entered the boundary set up by the priests of the Holy Hall. Here, without the support of evil energy, they lost the ability to resurrect after death. Even if they couldn't blast the fire demons to pieces like Dumb, they could still take their lives. The Tilu warriors also suffered great losses. They used their own bodies to dissolve the power of the fire demons' fire whips. When there were only thirty or so fire demons left, the allied forces had been reduced to about sixty people. On average, two Tilu warriors could help the allied forces kill one fire demon. Prophet Prín kept chanting incantations that no one could understand. Black light constantly emanated from his body and floated into the bodies of the Tilu warriors. Any Tilu warrior hit by the black light would be greatly refreshed.
The light of the Sumeru Sword in Dumb's hand had dimmed a lot. At least a third of the more than a hundred undead fire demons had died in his hands. He couldn't hold on much longer due to the overdraft of his vital energy. When the allied masters who had gone to attack the fire demons' territory were brought back, Little Bones and the Holy Evil also joined in the battle. Their powerful attacks gave Dumb a chance to breathe. He floated to the ground and breathed rapidly in the air with a burnt smell. The golden body in his body worked rapidly, constantly restoring his power.
Finally, after the last bitter battle, all the fire demons were killed. Their dead bodies were completely purified by light magic under Pope's command. Even if evil energy appeared here, they wouldn't be able to resurrect. At this time, there were only a dozen or so Tilu warriors left of the Puyan people. The losses were heavy.
Pu Lin spat out a mouthful of blood with a "Wah" sound. His entire body went limp and he fell to the ground. It was as if he had aged ten years in an instant. His lifeless eyes revealed a sorrowful expression. Dumb was shocked to see Prín's prophetic look. He quickly flew to his side and transferred his pure vital energy into Prín's body. As the vital energy circulated, he could clearly feel that the vitality in Prín's body had weakened a lot. He seemed abnormally weak. He asked anxiously, "Prophet, what's wrong?"
Prín said sadly, "It's nothing. There's a price to pay to increase the strength of the Tilu warriors in a short period of time. This is the harm of witchcraft. After this battle, the Puyan people's Tilu warriors were almost wiped out. We've done our best. The leaders of the various races gathered around. Pope's face was dark. Although they had successfully killed the fire demons, the allied forces had also paid a huge price.
"Xuan Ye, Mang Xiu, go and count the casualties. Prophet, thank you. If it wasn't for your Tilu warriors' bravery, I'm afraid our losses would have been doubled. Don't worry, I'll definitely do what I promised. "
Prín sighed, "Lord Pope, we Puyan people can no longer play any role in the allied forces. Please allow us to return to the rear base. We've done what we can. Whether we can win or not depends on you. I believe that justice will prevail over evil.
Pope sighed, "Alright, I'll send someone to send you back."
Prín shook his head, "Yanshi, Yan Li, and the remaining Tilu warriors are enough. Yanshi, you brothers help me back. "
The Yanshi Brothers walked to Prín's side, supported his weak body, and left with the rest of the Tilu warriors. Their backs looked so lonely and weary.
After a while, Xuan Ye and Mang Xiu returned. Their faces were very gloomy. Pope closed his eyes, "Speak."
Xuan Ye and Mang Xiu looked at each other, then Xuan Ye said, "We've done a rough calculation. The fire demons' ambush has brought us great losses. Among the leaders of the allied forces, Lian Dan and Zhu Yuan of the Red Nightmare Mercenaries are seriously injured. Overlord of the Moon Scar Mercenaries is dead. The Dai Patriarch of the Yalian people is dead. Among the allied forces, the Holy Paladins have lost 7,000 soldiers and none are seriously injured. More than 200 Judges of various ranks have died. More than 26,000 of the 80,000 Heavy Armoured soldiers have died. That's a total of 34,000 soldiers. That's a third of our strength.
The Pope slowly opened his eyes. His deep eyes were filled with tears. He let out a long sigh and said, "It's all my fault for not commanding properly. If I had listened to Dumby and withdrawn all the heavily armored soldiers, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. Marshal Fengwen, I think it's better to withdraw all the allied forces here."
Just as Feng Wen was about to agree, Dumby interrupted, "I don't think that's necessary. Let's just leave these heavily armored soldiers here to rest and reorganize. The four obstacles we have to face are the Bone Dragon Army and the three Masters of the Undead. They probably won't ambush us from behind."
Pope seemed very tired. He nodded, "As you said, you are the saviour of the continent. In this situation, everyone can only follow your footsteps to win the final victory. From now on, I announce that the command of the allied forces will be handed over to Dumb. No one is allowed to disobey his orders. "
Dumb was startled, "Grandpa, how can this be? I'm young and inexperienced. How can I take over your command?"
Pope shook his head, "Your strength is obvious to all. Is there anyone who objects to my decision?"
All the leaders fell silent and focused their gazes on Dumb. Dumb said awkwardly, "Grandpa, it's still better for you to lead. I'll definitely assist from the side."
Pope said, "Child, sometimes, people have to be brave enough to shoulder their responsibilities. We all believe that you have this ability. Don't shirk it anymore. "
Dumby looked at the resolute expression on the Pope's face and nodded helplessly. "Alright then. The Allied Forces have suffered heavy losses today. Other than leaving enough men for reconnaissance and vigilance, please return to your posts. Take stock of the soldiers on your side and rest for a day. Tomorrow, we will discuss our next move."
Under Dumb's first order after becoming the commander of the allied forces, all the leaders dispersed and returned to their own camps.
Xuanyue accompanied Dumb back to his tent. Looking at his pale face, she asked, "How are you? You've consumed a lot of energy today. Hurry up and cultivate. "
Dumby held her in his arms. Only by hugging the person he loved could his heart completely calm down. "I'm fine, don't worry. I'm really worried about what we're going to do next. Today, the Undead Fire Demons are much stronger than the Corrosive Dragons. If we hadn't come back in time, I'm afraid that the allied forces would have been completely wiped out. The next obstacle is the Bone Dragon Legion. Whether it's individual strength or numbers, they surpass the Fire Demons. I'm afraid that it will be very difficult to deal with them. Moreover, there are still the three rulers of the undead. Even if we can pass through all four obstacles, I'm afraid that the losses will be very great. Whether we can stop the Dark Saint Religion is still unknown! The main reason why I asked Grandpa to leave the heavy armored soldiers was to use them to deal with the last dark race. Compared to the high-level undead here, the Dark Saint Religion is still far inferior. "
Xuanyue softly said, "After all, there is still a long way to go. You don't need to be too anxious. Every time we pass through the 12 Calamities of the Undead, we can rest for a few days and regroup before continuing. Although the three rulers of the last three obstacles are powerful, there is only one of them. If we go all out, we will definitely be able to completely wipe them out. Do you think they can resist the four of you Sword Saints? "
Dumb nodded and said, "I hope everything goes as smoothly as you said."
After two days of rest, the allied forces regrouped. Under Dumb's leadership, they advanced towards the ninth obstacle of the 12 Calamities of the Undead. After passing through the territory of the fire demons, Dumb suddenly felt a strong pressure coming from the opposite mountain. His heart stirred and he hurriedly ordered the allied forces to stop advancing. The bone dragon had the ability to be immune to magic, so this time, besides the four red-robed priests and Pope, Dumb brought with him, they were all martial arts experts. Pope also realized that something was wrong and immediately used God's Blessing with the four red-robed priests, adding layers of support magic to Dumb and the others.
Dumb said in a deep voice, "The bone dragon may be on the mountain in front of us. Everyone, be careful. Do not disperse. We must concentrate our strength and be ready to respond at any time. I'll go take a look first. " After saying that, without waiting for Xuanyue to object, he floated up and rushed towards the opposite mountain. As a precaution, after he flew up, he immediately condensed his Sumeru Sword. The closer he got to the mountain, the stronger the pressure from the other side. Dumb pushed his aura to the limit and rushed up domineeringly. The gray mountain was getting closer and closer. Even if Dumb used his eyesight, he could not see anything strange from the mountain.
A low and deep voice suddenly sounded. "You are indeed very strong. No wonder you can come here. Let me see how strong you are." A dark black light suddenly surged out from the mountain, striking towards Dumb's chest like lightning. Dumb snorted coldly and slashed forward with the Sumeru Sword, meeting the attack's energy. With a poof, the dark green light disappeared. Dumb's rushing body came to an abrupt stop, his heart filled with shock. Ever since he used the Sumeru Sword, this was the first time he felt that a creature that was on par with him had appeared. Although he had successfully dispersed the dark green energy, the recoil force forced him to stop. The most frightening thing was that the dark green energy contained a kind of ice-cold evil power. It was just like when he was almost controlled by the power of the Hades King's Fangs. It passed through the Sumeru Sword and directly corroded his body, causing him to have no choice but to activate the golden body in his body to expel the evil heat from his body.
"With the blood of the divine dragon as a guide, the divine dragon that soars in the sky! Please bestow your powerful divine power upon me, and use the form of the divine dragon to defend the dignity of the dragon. — — Divine Dragon Clasp. " With the chanting of the incantation, the divine dragon's blood on Dumb's chest shone with blue light. A clear dragon roar sounded, and the blue dragon-shaped energy seeped out. In an instant, it circled around Dumb's body, forming a solid barrier.
"En, not bad indeed. It's the first time I've seen a human that can block my attack and come out unscathed." The dark green figure suddenly descended from the mountain. Wrapped in energy, Dumb couldn't see his form clearly. He could only raise his power to the extreme, activating the Sumeru Sword to emit a strong light. He knew that the opponent's cultivation was definitely not weaker than his, and might even be above him. He must not let the opponent seize the initiative, or else it would be very difficult for him to turn the situation around. Thus, he rushed towards the opponent.
When Dumb and the dark green energy collided, the divine dragon protecting his body shone brightly, and with a clear dragon roar, it continuously dissolved the huge evil energy brought by the dark green energy. The Sumeru Sword forcibly slashed into the opponent's energy. "Boom!" Dumb's body and the dark green figure flew back at the same time. With the help of the Divine Dragon Clasp, Dumb turned back the disadvantage from the first exchange, and now they were evenly matched. The dark green energy dissipated, and Dumb saw the opponent's form. It was a monster, over two meters tall. He had the form of a human, but he had six arms, and there was only one eye on his huge head. The most eye-catching thing was his two huge three-meter-wide wings. The dark green iron feathers on them glowed, containing a huge amount of energy.
Dumb cried out, "You, you're the Giant Winged Specter King, Hadosfin. Why are you in the Bone Dragon's territory?"
Hadosfin seemed a little surprised, and asked doubtfully, "Human, do you know me?"
