Chapter 577: Chapter 349: The Giant Horror Demon

Killing a giant Horror Demon was extremely difficult, which was a consensus in Storm Castle.

In the last round of attack, Storm Castle fired all its guns, sixty-two Spiritual Power Canons, plus one Super Spiritual Power Cannon, yet it did not stop the giant Horror Demon from getting close.

Unlike the smaller Horror Demons, the combat ability of the giant Horror Demon was almost nil. Besides its jointed claws, it had no other means of attack.

Its Spiritual Energy was contained, constantly in a static state inside its body, which granted it extremely high defensive capabilities, but also made its only attack, the jointed claws, pose no threat.

If talking strictly about combat abilities, giant Horror Demons were even worse than ordinary Mature Level monsters.

The real threat of giant Horror Demons lay within their very being, every part of their substance containing intense pollutants and corrosiveness.

In the last battle, just because the giant Horror Demon had climbed onto the castle and crawled into the Spiritual Energy Cannon, despite the warriors eventually killing it, the long process resulted in irreversible corrosion and destruction caused by the black substances in its body to the cannon.

This led Storm Castle to experience a huge gap in combat power.

It could be said that the source of all disasters was the giant Horror Demon.

The most troublesome part about giant Horror Demons was that they were extremely difficult to kill, and in the process of killing them, they would spray pollutants everywhere, damaging the environment and corroding defenses.

No monster was more nauseating than it, and the warriors affectionately called it the Poop Demon. Encountering it, they would get so excited that they would retch and suffer from diarrhea, experience convulsions in their limbs, dizziness, and would only want to lie in bed, not wanting to fight.

Therefore, when this round of attack occurred, everyone had three words echoing in their mind which they couldn’t utter.

To everyone’s surprise, Rod killed it with a single strike, with no prolonged death process, no explosive spreading of filth, and the giant Horror Demon’s body softened like a deflated ball.

The disgusting black material directly disintegrated and scattered, dissolving into countless black dust particles and vanished in the air.

After a few seconds of silence, tremendous cheers erupted from Storm Castle’s walls, towers, and battlements.

The voices quickly merged, forming the uniformed shout of eight words.

"Holy Fire eternal, Rod triumphant!"

This resounding shout even overshadowed the booming noise of the Spiritual Energy Cannons, with all the walls facing Rod’s side filled with cheering warriors.

Xingge, who was meditating on the high platform of the castle, was also awakened and asked, "Blade Song, what happened outside?"

Blade Song bowed and answered, "Your Highness, it’s Rod. He killed the giant Horror Demon, everyone is cheering for him."

"Oh... it’s big brother Rod."

Xingge’s large eyes flickered with a glint of light, she remained silent and quietly closed her eyes, returning to meditation.

In front of her was a floating bright fire, emitting a warm orange-yellow glow.

A few sparks were moving back and forth between her brow and the flame.

Below.

Having killed the giant Horror Demon, Rod flipped back, having reached Ninth Level Spiritual Power, he could leap tens of yards in a single step; with the addition of the boost to his step from the White Bone Boots, he took only four to five steps to leap back onto the castle wall.

He was met with even greater cheers, warriors on the wall frantically rushing towards him.

In the battle against the giant Horror Demon, ranged attacks were the main combat method, hand-to-hand fighters had a very limited role, only able to launch limited attacks when the giant Horror Demon climbed the wall.

Due to the severe pollution around the giant Horror Demon, they often could only strike a few times before being forced to leave, the entire fight was as disagreeable as eating excrement.

But Rod’s method gave them hope of a fight without the taste of excrement, and the warriors were extremely excited, eager to embrace their hero.

"Return!"

Iron Beard, the highest commander of Storm Castle, stopped them.

"Everyone, immediately return to your battle stations, or you will be dealt with by military law!"

The crowd halted and quickly dispersed, each returning to their positions.

Iron Beard quickly approached Rod, and asked sternly, "Lord Rod, please tell me, can your ability still be used? If so, how many more times can it be used?"

Rod thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "I should be able to use it many, many more times. Soul Explosion... cough, ’damn,’ requires little Spiritual Energy but mostly consumes my mental energy, though its use requires finding a soul’s flaw."

"A soul’s flaw?"

At some point, First Elder Amendo had drifted over, his face with orange-peel-like skin and murky eyes staring intently at him.

"What do you mean by that?"

Rod carefully pondered his words.

"It refers to... uh, a void in the soul, an area without Spiritual Protection, where the Soul Body’s consciousness is impaired."

Amendo said gravely, "It means the disruption in the flow of Spiritual Energy, stagnation, disruption, the Soul Body cracking, and the creature experiencing rigid pauses."

Iron Beard asked, "Is it a sure kill?"

"Uh, so far, there hasn’t been an exception."

The surrounding commanders gasped in astonishment.

"It’s that strong?"

"What exactly is this Fire Spark?"

"Why didn’t you inform us earlier?"

Amendo said darkly, "I remember now, this is the ability of his second Fire Spark ’damn’ in his file, but it isn’t detailed, rather vague, and it wasn’t marked as important."

An excited commander spoke, "Lord Rod has proven that ’damn’ can kill giant Horror Demons, from now on we can fully utilize his characteristic in combat!"
