With a crunching sound, Leon, who had leaped high from the sky, pierced the heart of the winged demon with his sword shining with holy light. Rich green blood spurted out from the open wound, and the unpleasant smell of sulfur permeated the forest.
Looking at the grass corroded by the blood, Leon couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, the blood of these guys is highly toxic."
"To adapt to the harsh environment, some changes must be made to the body."
Tang En said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he blocked the acid spat out by the Nazura spike demon: "It seems that the situation is very troublesome."
"Clang!"
Leon's sword was blocked by the spike demon, but the other Paladins reacted instantly and stabbed their weapons into the body of the spike demon from the side. Unfortunately, they were too weak, and their fierce attacks couldn't even break the shield of the spike demon.
"It's quite —"
Lyon shouted and kicked the Spike Demon a few steps back. Then, he held his sword with both hands and stabbed it in the chest. "— Troublesome!"
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The spike demon suddenly waved its arms, and a series of bone spikes turned into shadows and stabbed at Leon. Those bone spikes also contained a very strong poison and shadow power, which was very corrosive to the holy light shield.
"Holy Storm!"
Leon changed his move in an instant. Holy light fell from the sky, and a golden rune hurricane rolled up around his body. The runes radiated a pure and warm power, but for the Nazura demon, this power was as terrible as a human facing poison.
The Holy Storm shattered the spikes and also broke the shield of the spike demon. Taking advantage of Leon's big move, the dozen or so Paladins besieging the spike demon rushed up and slashed at it with their swords. In the blink of an eye, the spike demon was cut into pieces.
But this was not the end. Even if the spike demon was cut into pieces, Leon still carefully checked it. After confirming that its heart was completely broken, he was relieved.
"Leave the other one to Elsa."
Tang En walked to Leon's side and patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that you came first and got something?"
"I'd rather not discover anything."
Leon smiled bitterly and stared at the last Spike Demon. "This is already the third batch of demons we've discovered, but this is not the most important thing. There's something you need to see with your own eyes."
"I understand … What's their average strength?"
"It's similar to today's."
Leon sighed helplessly. "In other words, the average strength of demons is much higher than that of humans. In the cruel environment of the Purgatory Abyss, it is not easy to find a weakling."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. "Did you get any information?"
"Are you kidding?"
Leon's eyes widened. "Demons have no sense of reason at all. Their greatest hobby is killing and destroying. You want to get information from them? Making a deal with the devil is more reliable! "
"Boom!"
While talking, the two suddenly heard a loud noise. They turned their heads and were startled. They saw that Elsa had unknowingly taken out the giant warhammer that had been abandoned for a long time. That giant warhammer had smashed into the Spike Devil's body. The stooped Spike Devil was completely buried in the ground.
Tang En shouted from afar, "What's going on?"
"This guy's bones are too hard. The chainsword is too abrasive!"
Elsa shouted without looking back. Then she raised the giant hammer and smashed it down again!
Chainswords were indeed powerful, but chainswords were developed to target Chaos creatures. The strength of Chaos creatures lay in their corrosion and assimilation abilities, not their physical defense. Therefore, the chainswords suffered very little damage when they slashed at Chaos creatures.
But demons were different. Demons with thick skin were more durable than steel. Although the chainsword was equally effective, the chainsword was too worn out, and the cost of replacing it was not low. Elsa cherished her weapon very much, and she was reluctant to use it on this guy.
But in other words, the warhammer's lethality towards demons like the Spike Demons was considerable. Especially since Elsa's strength was great, there weren't many who could withstand the violent impact of the heavy warhammer.
The moment Elsa raised the hammer, the Paladins found that the spikes on the Spike Devil's body had been smashed, and there were only a few inconspicuous dents on the surface of the hammer.
"Blessing of the Holy Light!"
Leon blessed Elsa's weapon again. A layer of pale golden light appeared on the ferocious hammer, and the divine runes fluttered in the air, making it look even more sacred.
"Boom!"
The Spike Devil escaped the range of the hammer at the critical moment. It rolled and fled into the forest in the distance.
It had sensed that its life was in danger.
Depp slammed his giant shield forward and shouted, "Shield warriors, line up! Stop it! "
"Bang! Bang!"
The shield warriors rushed to the front with their heavy tower shields. With Depp at the centre, three layers of tower shields were stacked together to form a thick shield wall. Then, they activated the battle technique 'Shield Block' at the same time. All the shield warriors activated their battle technique at the same time, forming the 'Legion Shield Wall' combo technique. A giant curtain of light spread more than ten meters into the air with the shield warriors as the base. It extended to cover more than half of the army behind it.
"Boom!"
The Spike Devil screeched and crashed into the shield wall. Although there was a huge difference in strength between the two sides, its attack didn't have any effect at all.
"The shield warriors have shared the impact of the attack," Leon praised.
Leon praised, "Facing such pressure, they can still work together. Your soldiers are excellent."
Although the combo technique was very effective, it required the members to be in sync with each other. They couldn't afford to be timid or cowardly, or the whole formation would collapse.
Tang En smiled and said, "They can do better."
As soon as he finished speaking, Locke began to organize a counterattack.
"Rangers, lock down the target's movements!"
In the sky, Danny drew his longbow. "Homing arrows, Binding arrows, ready! Rain of arrows, ready! Anti-Magic arrows, ready! Fire! "
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky. The guiding arrows locked onto the Spike Devil's position, and the binding arrows followed closely behind. The wind elemental ropes firmly bound the Spike Devil in place, forcing it to take the damage from the rain of arrows and magic piercing arrows.
Given Danny's strength, the binding arrows could only bind the Spike Devil for less than five seconds, but that was enough!
Locke raised his right hand. "Machine gunners, ready!"
"Krak krak krak —"
The shield wall slid to the side, and black gun muzzles poked out from it.
Locke pulled the trigger and a blazing fireball flew into the sky. "Fire!"
"Ratatatat —"
Thousands of machine guns spat out dense tongues of fire. After the anti-magic arrows pierced through the shield, the tough bullets left dense bullet holes in the Spike Devil's body. Green blood spurted out continuously. The corrosive blood could even dissolve ordinary metal bullets.
"Magic pistols, fire at will!"
Locke gave another order, and all the magic pistols on their bodies took out their weapons at the same time, locked onto the Spike Devil and started shooting.
In an instant, dense fireballs, dense arcane missiles, frost arrows emitting cold air, and other spells flew out from the army like a torrential rain, and finally all landed on the Spike Devil's body.
"Gods above …"
The Knights Templar widened their eyes and looked at the Elrington guards in a daze. "How many mages did they prepare for this?"
The Paladins, who did not know the inside story, thought that the spells were released by the mages.
Judging from the scarcity of mages now, the cost of hiring so many mages was probably not a small sum.
In other words, even if these spells were all from magic scrolls, this round of spells would have consumed hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
"No, that's not right!"
One of the Paladins suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Locke, who was standing in front of the army and commanding the battle. "Those spells were released from the weapons in their hands!"
"Wands?"
"I don't think so. What kind of strange thing is that?!"
After being reminded, the other Paladins also noticed the magic pistols in the hands of Locke and the others. They only saw the mages move their fingers, and then the spells flew out with a 'biubiubiu' sound. There was no casting time at all, and they did not need to rest.
For a moment, they were stunned.
If the Spike Devil had a normal sense of reason, it would definitely want to curse at this moment. It was just lost, and yet it received such a grand 'reception'. It would not die in peace!
"They're clearly my opponents!"
Elsa, who was carrying her warhammer, looked at the Spike Devil that was covered in spells and couldn't help but pout unhappily.
"You're so strong. There will be plenty of opportunities to show off in the future. They need to hone themselves."
Tang En couldn't help but laugh. Although Elsa was strong and had unlimited potential, she was always like a child and was very competitive.
Elsa nodded obediently. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
Leon glanced at Twain with a strange look in his eyes.
"Last round!"
The gunshots suddenly stopped. At this moment, the Spike Devil looked like a mass of black charcoal.
Locke shouted, "Shield Charge! Crush it! "
"Roar!"
The shield wall disintegrated, and the shieldbearers rushed towards the Spike Devil with their shields. Their feet stomped on the ground, and the shields that were infused with the power of blood emitted a scorching red light. It was like a scorching hot comet that slammed into the Spike Devil fiercely!
"Boom!"
The charred Spike Devil was smashed into pieces. Its flesh and blood fell apart, and only its skeleton remained.
In the middle of the black skeleton was a 'heart'. The so-called demon's heart was not an organ that drove blood. It would not stop beating without blood, and it could gradually restore the demon's health.
"Go to hell."
He walked to the skeleton and pierced the demon's heart with his sword.
