Chapter 138: 99 The Last Twelve Great Demons (4000 words, please subscribe)_2

Of course, Three Dragon Continuous Strike had only eliminated a large number of Miscellaneous Soldiers and a certain amount of Elite Soldiers; not a single Great Demon leader had been killed. However, Le Cheng had only expended some weapons on his side, and the tornado, his main body, had yet to strike.

After this, both sides began a brutal slaughter over the gradually cooling ocean of magma as a boundary.

Even after the loss of tens of thousands of lives, the Catastrophe Legion showed no sign of compromise. After all, war and slaughter are their instincts. While they might tactically retreat in battle, it was only to slaughter even more fiercely later on. Indeed, every time the Catastrophe Legion took the field, the result could only be one of two things... either annihilate the enemy or be annihilated by the enemy.

The war would not end until then.

To alleviate the pressure on his own side, Le Cheng chose to target the Great Demons for elimination.

But Great Demons were not easy to kill.

Since the war began, only four enemy Great Demons had been killed: one was unexpectedly slain by Lancelot, and three were melted by Flillian’s Purgatory; however, whether it was the former or the latter, there was an element of trickery involved. If it came to a head-on confrontation, there were only a handful of people in the entire Empire who could singlehandedly kill a Great Demon.

Even Le Cheng, before he learned the Rising Dragon Transformation and obtained the Visualization Form of half-dragon half-human, was absolutely not an opponent of a Great Demon.

Of course, now he had a stronger form, capable of treating Great Demons as hunting targets.

Although Great Demons were not foolish enough to charge forward blindly, once they realized the threat of the tornado, they would try to avoid Le Cheng and look for others to attack. But Le Cheng had long prepared a countermeasure: by placing Purgatory in the center and covering it with Ice Power, the high temperature’s damage to allies could be minimized in a short period of time. Then, seizing this opportunity to snatch enemies directly from the hands of allies was the most effective tactic.

Once caught by Le Cheng, it would be extremely difficult for a Great Demon to escape.

Eventually, Le Cheng killed a total of seventeen Great Demons in this manner before he had to reluctantly deactivate the tornado form.

The reason for deactivation wasn’t that he was incapable, but rather that the Witches couldn’t keep up.

His external tornado form required the Witches to continuously maintain Magic Power output, especially for Purgatory. To sustain its existence, Flillian, the Great Witch, could be said to have completely lost her combat ability. And after the Magic Power was exhausted, Purgatory would also dissolve.

Without the power of the Witches, the tornado’s strength was nowhere near enough to kill a Great Demon.

"Humans? It turned into a human?!"

"Kill him!"

"We must not let him transform back into that form!"

The surviving Great Demons roared loudly at the sight of Le Cheng returning to his original form.

For the Catastrophe Legion, lower-level Bloodletting Demons were expendable objects, and even the Bloodletting Lords were just slightly more powerful Elite Soldiers; it did not matter how many of them died.

But Great Demons, they were high-level Chaos Demons personally created by Khorne. In the Chaos Domain, their numbers were not scarce, but because of the limitation of Infinite Paradise, only a very few of these Great Demons, carrying Khorne’s will, could truly descend to the real world... Even though as long as Khorne’s will is alive, they can be constantly resurrected, it takes time. In other words, every time a Great Demon is killed, it would take at least several years, if not decades, to resurrect.

And now, with Khorne’s will suppressed by Gaia, whether they could be resurrected or not became a question mark.

Then, in less than half a day, Le Cheng had killed a full twenty Great Demons.

Adding the four killed by Lancelot, the battlefield had already lost two-thirds of its Great Demons by now.

Such heavy losses had never occurred even during Sigma’s lifetime.

Therefore, they wouldn’t allow Le Cheng to transform into that invincible form again; they had to kill him completely while he was human.

Thus, without the slightest hesitation, the remaining twelve Great Demons charged at Le Cheng amid roars of anger.

"Quick, protect the Divine Envoy!"

As Gawain saw the twelve Great Demons recklessly attempting to surround Le Cheng, his heart skipped a beat, and he shouted loudly.

Anyone would think, a Le Cheng who had returned to his human form must be weakened at this moment; he needed to be rescued now. As he shouted, Lancelot and several Witches also hurriedly flew over.

"Thinking of surrounding and killing me? Then let me show you the power of a Dragon Warrior... Transform!"

When the Great Demons finally reached Le Cheng, what awaited them was not a weak and powerless human, but a Dragon-man.

"Take my move, Kanglong Youhui!"

At the moment of complete transformation, Le Cheng charged at the Great Demon closest to him. Caught off guard, the Great Demon was thrown into a frantic disarray. The other Great Demons tried to flank Le Cheng with a pincer attack, yet at the same time, Le Cheng’s reinforcements had already arrived.

Lancelot was the fastest, her Dual Swords pressing directly against one Great Demon’s chest, pushing it away.

At this moment, Lancelot was still in annihilating state, but the energy drain from the previous battle meant her output had significantly decreased. Although she pierced the Great Demon’s body with her strike, it was not fatal.

Subsequently, several tornadoes swept in.

Tornadoes?!

Recognizing the familiar form, the Great Demons, already with a psychological shadow, instinctively scattered.

"Haha, do demons also know fear? Worthy of being the Divine Envoy." In the midst of indulgent laughter, Haima beckoned with her fingers, merging several tornadoes into one, sweeping two Great Demons far away from Le Cheng’s position, "Siren, they’re yours."

Haima was well aware of her strength; she was not capable of killing a Great Demon. At best, she could only hinder one for a short time, so she used the power of wind to fling the other to the newcomer from behind.

Siren nodded silently and launched an attack directly at the Great Demon.

Following that, three witches each took on a Great Demon, engaging in fierce combat.

At this moment, facing the encirclement of twelve Great Demons, the Empire had also deployed its top combat forces. Led by Siren, the four Great Witches, along with Lancelot and Haima, completely took six Great Demons out of the battle, preventing them from surrounding Le Cheng.

"Mr. Le Cheng, sorry, I can only hold one back."

No, it was seven, and another had been stopped by Caster.

Although Caster had inherited the power of Sigma, he was ultimately still too young, and given his previous exhaustion, barely stopping one was his limit.

But what about the remaining four?

Facing five alone, Le Cheng’s situation was still very dangerous.

It’s not like one can count on Gawain and the others, right?

After all, Gawain and the other Seat Knights, unlike Lancelot who is better at solo combat, need to lead the troops. Once they leave their troops, the leaderless army would lose strength rapidly. And if the whole group charged together, except for Gawain, most would likely not survive a Great Demon’s attack.

The ordinary knights, even with the boost of a team BUFF, couldn’t withstand a full-force blow from a Great Demon.

Yet, to resolve Le Cheng’s perilous situation, the knights still charged forward without hesitation.

"Step back, I’ll take care of these fools."

Just then, suddenly, an indifferent voice rang in everyone’s ears.

Subsequently, a figure dressed in a witch’s attire appeared out of nowhere on the battlefield.

The witches present were all taken aback.

"Great Witch Morgan?"

"Queen?"

"Queen Mother?"

The person who suddenly appeared on the battlefield was none other than Morgan, holding a scepter, with an expression of indifference.

"It’s been thirteen years since I last wore this outfit..."

In her reflective voice, Morgan tapped her scepter lightly on the ground, and in an instant, a black sun fell from the sky. As it descended, it seemed as if the flow of time in the entire world slowed. It fell amidst the four Great Demons charging at Le Cheng, and then... Boom!!!
