Arcane Journey

Chapter 283 The end of the gorgeous

"boom!"

Accompanied by an angry and frenzied roar, the entire underground space was shaking violently.

The walls connecting the chains also showed traces of cracks amidst the clattering noises. On the burly and sturdy body of the demon lord, like plowing the ground, there were tearing wounds, with bones visible deep, shocking.

Although his hands were still bound by shackles, the chains that held him in place were being pulled out from the steel-like solid wall bit by bit.

On the back of the demon lord, sharp barbs can be seen piercing through the gap between each of his exoskeleton and bone wings, sinking into the deepest part of the flesh.

Strange silver streamers flashed on the barb, and the terrifying energy emitted from the barb made the crazy demon lord like a fish struggling on countless iron hooks, unable to break free.

This is the mysterious power that imprisoned him on the altar and could never leave.

However, the current demon lord has long ignored it and tried to forcefully break through the seal.

The sharp barbs made shocking gaps in the eversioned scarlet flesh, and streams of devil's blood spewed out from them.

The demon lord let out a miserable howl due to the severe pain. In the roar mixed with endless pain and madness, he still tensed up the muscles of his whole body like steel cables, and stepped forward step by step.

He found strength in anger.

But it was also this power that made his injuries worse and worse, but the power of the seal also began to become weaker and weaker.

Even so, eye-catching greed and madness still appeared in the blood-red pupils of the demon lord.

In his opinion, as long as he kills the mortal in front of him and takes the curse fire from him, then any price he pays at this moment is nothing.

As an extremely powerful demon lord, the 21st floor of the bottomless abyss, the ruler of the sixth pyre, the king of Balor, from the Doomsday volcano to the floating city of Sacross, he was sealed back and forth. The time is nearly ten thousand years.

Now that he has finally found a way to break through the seal, he will naturally not let go of this rare opportunity.

The demon lord who is the king of Balor's flame demon possesses the most powerful power of fire among killing and destruction. As long as he fuses the cursed fire that is said to be able to "swallow all things", he will be able to lose all the power lost here. With the help of the devouring property of the curse fire, it can be recovered as quickly as possible in the bottomless abyss.

The characteristics of the cursed fire suit him so well. Even if he becomes a coward at this time, as long as he has the cursed fire, he firmly believes that he can grow into a demon of the bottomless abyss like the undead lord Odyssey prince.

Besides, what appeared in front of him was just a mortal mage.

He is confident that even if he is seriously injured and has been sealed for nearly ten thousand years, resulting in the loss of more than [-]% of his original power, he can easily kill the mortal in front of him and seize his curse fire!
He is the demon lord who accepts the dark favor of the will of the abyss, the king of Balor, the oldest and most terrifying representative of evil!

"Roar!"

The demon lord raised his head to the sky and roared furiously. His big mouth and roar revealed his anger at the moment and his desire to break through the seal.

In an instant, the seemingly dying flames around the King of Ballow's flames burned violently while tumbling, erupting hot flames at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the surrounding air was slightly distorted in the high-temperature flames.

The temperature in the underground space rose again.

In the fierce burning, drops of demon blood dripped onto the shivering nine-pointed star altar, and ancient arcane runes were faintly visible.

This strange blood emitted a strange deep purple light in the bright firelight, as if it contained some powerful magic power, and the moment it fell into the nine-pointed star circle, it burned violently like grease.

In the raging flames, the demon lord stared at Brian frantically, raised his goat feet as strong as marble pillars, and suddenly took a big step forward.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

As the demon lord struggled to stretch out the wide demon wings that were bloodied by the silver-white barbs, more than a dozen chains linked to the barbs were pulled out from the solid wall.

"Hahaha... open it for me!!!"

The demon lord laughed maniacally, and more intense dark purple demon blood spewed out from his wound, like adding fuel to the fire, spreading the raging fire all over the altar of the nine-pointed star.

The ancient arcane runes on the altar were corroded by the blood of the devil, and the magic aura emitted by them was gradually dimming. The nine rusty iron swords inserted upside down around the altar also showed traces of cracks, as if It will crumble anytime.

Brian stared indifferently at the demon lord who was breaking away from the seal step by step.

When he saw the deep purple blood gushing out of the opponent's body, the last boulder hanging in his heart finally fell down safely.

Demon True Blood!

A kind of life essence exclusive to abyssal demons at the level of demon lords. It is not only their original power, but also their innate bloodline ability.

This power is quite valuable.

In the bottomless abyss, the reason why demons can continue to advance and transform into various powerful forms relies on this power.

Generally speaking, demons will fight each other to devour this power and complete the advancement of their next form.

And the demon lords who rule the abyss level will also give other demons under their command this kind of original power after they have made considerable contributions.

Of course, the premise of all this is that it does not affect its own strength.

Just like the red dragon egg that Brian obtained, this dragon egg contains the original power of the demon lord Graz'zt. It can be seen from the other side's eagerness to take back the red dragon egg that Graz'zt used It is very likely that the original power has affected one's own foundation.

Not to mention Callum, the Lord of Ballow's Flame Demon in front of him.

Bryan could even feel that every drop of dark purple demonic blood that the other party shed at this moment was enough to make the weakest abyssal worm advance to a middle-ranked demon.

From this, it can be seen how powerful these demonic true blood representing the life essence of the abyssal demons are.

If it weren't for him not daring to approach the altar, he would even take out a vessel to collect the true blood of these demons to study the power of the law of fire contained in it.

After all, although demons have bodies, they are essentially soul creations, that is, entities transformed from souls.

The power activated by the demon lord at this moment is the original power representing the essence of life.

This blood is not only his vitality, but also a part of his own strength, at the cost of breaking the seal on himself in the chain.

This kind of behavior is a very risky attempt for any abyssal demon, even a demon lord.

Because the price of doing so is to make his strength drop significantly.

If it were Brian, this behavior would undoubtedly be equivalent to forcibly breaking the seal at the cost of burning his own experience points and continuously decreasing his professional level.

From here, Brian could see that the demon lord in front of him dared to take risks and pay such a heavy price, which indirectly proved his amazing value in his eyes.

Otherwise, he has been trapped here for thousands of years, why would he choose to risk his life to break the seal at this time.

Obviously, the demon lord thinks that the value of the curse fire is enough for him to pay the price of life essence and reduce his own strength, and take a gamble, turning his bicycle into a motorcycle.

This was the result Brian wanted, and it was also a very good idea that he came up with when he learned that he had acquired the properties of the Cursed Fire.

As the Lord of Ballow's Flame Demon, mastering the power of fire that represents killing and destruction, and the property of cursed fire devouring all things, has an inextricable attraction for this demon lord.

Although in the game world, the legendary team led by Storm Silverhand, the leader of the Harper Alliance, killed the demon lord in front of him, but the price paid was very tragic.

So after learning that there was a better way, Brian took the initiative to make this choice.

After trying to understand the cause of the problem, Brian kept a certain distance from the demon lord, waiting silently while preparing his own magic.

At this moment, he hasn't received the summons from Storm and Santilla, which means that they are still helping him to divert the attention of the ghost prince Lamorak and Matik.

In this case, he will have enough time to deal with the demon lord.

Once the demon lord breaks the seal, the opponent's strength will be reduced to the limit, and that is the moment when he kills the opponent here.

"boom!"

The demon lord roared and took another step. At this moment, there were not many chains left on his back, and the aura of arcane runes on it became very dim, and the nine-pointed star array on the altar at the bottom of his feet was cracked like a spider web The gap between the nine rusty iron swords has also been broken into a pile of fragments.

The life essence of the demon lord had already turned into raging fire, making cracking sounds like firecrackers, destroying the seal bit by bit.

"Crack!"

When the demon lord's huge body nearly 5 meters high took another step forward, there was not much left, and the seemingly fragile chains broke directly.

"Roar!"

The demon lord, who broke free from the shackles, roared like a wild horse, wrapped in raging flames all over his body, and rushed towards Brian.

Although the moment he touched the seal was his weakest moment, it was also the moment when the demon lord's aura was the strongest. After breaking the seal at a heavy price, all the suppressed anger and madness in his heart had been transformed into an indomitable fighting spirit. get set free.

Under such circumstances, Brian would naturally not touch this bad luck.

Is the so-called 'one bang, then decline, three exhausted'.

As long as he dodged the three axes of the demon lord, it was time for him to fight back.

"1 years! I was sealed for 1 years, and I finally broke out!..."

The demon lord yelled like crazy, and then shook his arms, a storm giant sword jumping with blue and white lightning and a flame whip burning with raging flames appeared in his hands out of thin air.

With his shattered demon wings suddenly opened, the demon lord was like the bravest hunter, brandishing a four-meter-long storm sword and a flame whip, interweaving into a storm of thunder and fire, roaring and drowning towards Brian come over.

In an instant, violent blue and white lightning emerged from the demon lord's giant storm sword, slashing directly at Brian's chest with a thunderous momentum.

The flame whip was like a flaming fiery snake, flexibly sealing off all the dodging space for Brian at a tricky angle.

In the underground space of the Floating Void City, suffocating flames swept out, and a sea of ​​flames intertwined with the lightning storm erupted.

—— "Dimensional Jump!"

Brian, who had been prepared for a long time, faced the attack of the demon lord losing his mind. With just a thought, he disappeared instantly on the spot under the blessing of the background expertise of "Arcane Walker".

In the blink of an eye, Brian's figure appeared behind the demon lord.

——"Sword of the Stars!"

He quickly rubbed the rings on his fingers, and a translucent energy sword shone with starlight appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately floated his left hand full of curse fire energy over the blade.

"boom!"

The raging silver-white flame engulfed the blade in an instant.

Under the control of Brian's thoughts, the flaming star sword turned into a cluster of flickering and beating lights, bright like stars in the night sky, stabbing the demon lord's buttocks precisely and quickly.

"Ah!..."

Accompanied by the deep penetration of the sharp sword, followed by the screaming scream of the demon lord, he was given a free hemorrhoidectomy, which made his face show fear and anger.

Brian turned a blind eye to it, and the star sword controlled by his mind suddenly burst into a violent silver-white flame. Together with the hilt, it pierced the demon lord's body from the stomach to the stomach, and then burst into a brilliant magical flame with a "boom" .

"Damn mortal!!!"

The great pain made the demon lord's body tremble, and no creature could stand in place as if nothing had happened when his buttocks were blown to pieces.

Even the demon lords in the Abyss are no exception.

The pain caused by the explosion of the curse fire was enough to tear apart the flesh, causing the demon lord to howl like a beast.

The word he howled didn't seem to have any meaning, but it contained the most evil and chaotic meaning. The surrounding flames began to boil, and the void showed a spectacular scene of doomsday volcanoes.

Brian looked startled, and quickly stabilized his mind, using the protective barrier of the "Fortress of Goodness" that had not yet disappeared to resist the terrifying energy that erupted from the demon lord enough to affect his mind.

Obviously, although the demon lord in front of him paid a huge price to escape from the seal, his original power has not been completely lost.

The demon lord flapped his wings fiercely, and amidst the billowing smoke that splashed up, his huge figure hovered high in the sky, keeping a distance from Brian.

It can be seen from this that the attack just now has left a huge shadow in the heart of the demon lord who is good at close combat, so that he dare not launch the brute force attack that he is best at.

Brian, who was shrouded in magic protection, looked at the figure in the air with a serious expression that could suffocate most legendary professionals.

He knew that the demon lord at this moment was definitely at the end of his battle, as long as he kept procrastinating, he would definitely win.

But the premise of all this is to resist the anger that the demon lord vented after breaking free from the seal.

And there is another important factor, his time is running out.

If Feng Feng, Santilla and others who were in charge of attracting the attention of the enemy left suddenly, then the two ghost mages stationed in the floating city would soon notice the movement here.

Brian held the legendary staff and chanted the ancient spell in a low voice.

The demon lord flying in mid-air finally regained a bit of sanity from his madness due to the severe pain in a special part.

Seeing that Brian was casting a spell, he didn't choose to charge, but raised his storm sword with blue and white lightning.

In the dancing lightning, the terrifying energy condensed again, turning into a roaring thunder snake.

Then, the demon lord's great storm sword swung downward, and at the same time, Brian also slammed the staff in his hand to the ground heavily.

The condensed Thunder Snake opened its mouth wide and pounced on Brian below.

——"Nine-ring spell: Ice Rage!"

Centered on Brian's staff, the howling ice crystals began to howl and skyrocket, and finally condensed into a crystal clear eagle spreading its wings.

Frost and thunder collided suddenly in the air.

The air waves of the explosion reverberated in the underground cavern, and for a while even the space was distorted due to the difference between the magic power of different attributes. The ice crystals scattered in all directions, turned into pieces of snowflakes and fell on the ground, and then melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. ,evaporation.

"Let me see what other means you have to take my attack!"

The flames around the demon lord surged, and with a roar, he brandished the flaming whip, making bursts of explosions in the air.

In an instant, several tornadoes burning with flames rose from the ground, straight to the top of the cave, spinning and roaring towards Brian with an unstoppable momentum like splitting a mountain and cracking rocks.

In the underground space, rocks mixed with fire and rain, flying all over the sky.

Facing the flame storm that symbolized the power of the original power erupted by the Lord of Ballow, Brian stood motionless, letting the scorching flame storm raise his messy long hair and cloak, and the shiny polygonal crystal shield The hood had also been darkened by the storm by now.

His deep eyes shone brightly like stars, and the surrounding air also condensed a terrifying energy like chaos.

——"Ninth-level ability: tornado storm!"

——"Acanon Storm!"

Just when the flame storm was about to rush towards him, the howling storm gushed out from his body, turned into a surging tsunami wave, formed a barrier several meters high, and pushed forward.

The attacks of both sides met in an instant!

At this moment, the expression of the demon lord changed slightly.

A scene that made him unbelievable happened.

At the same time as it came into contact with the flame tornado, the storm barrier standing upright like a wall completely devoured its power, and those terrifying forces capable of attacking cities and looting land were dissolved by an invisible energy, and then re-fused in the barrier middle.

The demon lord only felt a huge reverse force hitting him, making him hit the hard wall of the cave like a fallen leaf in the wind and rain.

"What kind of power is this?!" The demon lord flapped his broken demon wings, struggling to stabilize his body in mid-air, his eyes widened, and he looked at the mortal below in disbelief.

He originally thought that his attack would be enough to kill the mortal mage in front of him. Who would have thought that the opponent not only resisted his attack with his own hard power, but could also completely suppress him.

An unknown fear quietly spread in the heart of the demon lord.

"Crack!"

Before he could think of an answer, a leaping thunder rushed towards him.

Although the demon lord reacted quickly, he only had time to raise his storm sword, and the lightning had already arrived in front of him.

"boom!"

The pulsating lightning exploded, and the body of the demon lord, scorched black by the electricity, flew upside down and fell heavily on the ground, unable to get up like a dead pig for a long time.

"It seems that pure magic attacks alone can kill him." Looking at the demon lord who was struggling to get up from the ground, Brian frowned.

At this moment, it could not be more appropriate to describe the demon lord in front of him as 'a centipede is dead but not stiff'.

Although the demon lord after the three strikes looked extremely weak, his eyes were like flames jumping like candles that were about to go out, his whole body was covered in scars, and it seemed very difficult to even get up from the ground.

But the other party, as an abyssal demon, was born with magic resistance and the ability of the Barlow flame demon group to be immune to fire damage, which made Brian feel at a loss for a while.

Fortunately, as a spellcaster, he had made sufficient preparations for the demon lord in front of him before he acted, so naturally he would not be stumped by the problems in front of him.

——"Madunkin's disintegration technique!"

Before the demon lord could stand still, Brian's instant magic through the metamagic feat hit him.

Terrible energy full of destructive aura spewed out, like a gust of wind and rain, ruthlessly washing the convulsed and trembling body of the demon lord.

Accompanied by mournful wailing, the demon lord's body surface seemed to be a fish whose scales had been stripped off by the most brutal means. Blood kept oozing from the densely packed wounds and solidified in the scorching heat.

Even the great storm sword and flame whip in his hand were instantly disintegrated by the terrifying cracking energy.

At this moment, the demon lord stood naked in front of Brian as if he had been tortured to pieces.

——"Arcane Sequence!"

The legendary staff in Brian's hand slammed on the ground. Without any spell-casting materials, all the spells stored in his arcane sequence were activated and turned into an arcane burst of force field energy. The torrent rolled towards the demon lord.

——"Bigby Punch!"

—"Bigby Wrestling Palm!"

— "Bigby's Disturbing Palm!"

—"Bigby's mighty hand!"

—"Bigby Smash Hand!"

—"Bigby holds the hand!"

—"Bigby grabs the palm!"

——"Bigby's Vajra Fist!"

—"Bigby Smash Palm!"

Phantom palms and fists transformed from pure force field energy greeted the scarred and bloody demon lord's various parts like raindrops with the whistling sound of piercing through the air.

Nine ghost giant hands the size of a millstone were as hard as steel. They swung their fists and slammed at the demon lord. The iron fists were blown by the wind, whistling, and made a series of afterimages. The crucial point.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A huge energy palm emerged out of thin air, grabbed the demon lord's neck like a chicken, lifted him up, and hung him in mid-air like a sandbag.

"Do not!!!"

A desperate roar sounded, and the demon lord was terrified to find that he couldn't break free from the grasping palm.

This is not surprising, because the basic strength attribute of Grasping Palm is 30 points, and if Brian's intelligence adjustment value is added to the 8 points of extra strength, a total of 38 points of strength will be greatly weakened, and he will be seriously injured. The demon lord can still do it.

Then, muffled punches landed on the bloody body of the demon lord, crackling crackling sounds, mixed with painful wailing, played a rhythmic and passionate movement in the underground space.

In the dense and pure physical attack, the demon lord gradually became unable to resist, and the frequency of struggling became weaker and weaker.

Accompanied by a heavy punch as fast as lightning hitting his heart, the demon lord spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was like a ball, and he slammed into the hard stone wall behind him, sliding down along the shocking blood. The sunken chest made him look as if he would die completely at any moment.

This is the sequence spell that Brian has carefully prepared for the demon lord.

In combat applications, their effects are much stronger than the low-level 'Ma Youfu Micro Meteor'. After all, the latter can only barely break through the defense, while the former is a real physical attack, punching to the flesh and stepping to the stomach.

In the bottomless abyss, when the spellcasters of the evocation school face the abyssal demons with powerful magic resistance and fire immunity, the force field magic of the Bigby series is the most effective magic against the abyssal demons.

Every punch was accompanied by bursts of scalp-numbing bone cracks and screams.

This kind of attack is best at dealing with heavy armored fighters of that kind.

——"Arcane Master!"

Bryan's attack didn't stop because of this, he immediately activated another sequence spell, and took out two javelins that were as thick as a baby's arms and shone with dark golden luster.

Although he has the "Legendary Material-Free Casting" feat, which allows him to cast spells without any casting materials, but the power of some spells is determined by the casting materials.

Powerful spell-casting materials can often burst out damage beyond imagination.

Therefore, in order to deal with the demon lord, he carefully prepared two adamantine javelins of extraordinary quality.

— "Bigby Siege Arrow!"

Brian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly recited a spell, and two siege ballistas condensed from pure arcane energy appeared in front of him out of thin air.

And the two fine gold javelins in his hand have already been automatically installed into the launcher inside along with the formation of the siege ballista.

"Whizzing!"

Accompanied by the sound of the string breaking like a winch being tightened, two siege arrows wrapped in force field energy roared out, and the powerful force even sent bursts of roaring explosions in the air.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The siege arrows precisely hit the demon lord, one pierced his throat, and the other smashed his heart. The powerful thrust, with an unstoppable force, brought his broken body deep into the hard wall , pinning him in mid-air.

"Ahem... I underestimated you, despicable mortal... But I'm afraid your attack is limited to this." The demon lord raised his head with difficulty, and he was spitting blood from his bloody mouth that had already been shattered. , while roaring hoarsely with a leaky throat:
"You can't kill me. I am the demon lord of the bottomless abyss, the ruler of the sixth pyre, and the king of Balor's flame demon, Karlem! You want to destroy my body!"

Outside of the Abyss, demons do not fear death.

Common crude weapons cannot harm these daemons, and many possess resistance to the most powerful spell energies.

When a demon is lucky enough to be killed in battle, it will turn into foul ichor, and over time, after absorbing enough energy from the abyss, it will reshape itself in the abyss.

Its essence and mind are the same as before, only the hatred has become more vigorous.

The only way to truly kill a demon is to enter the Abyss and strangle its essence within it.

Powerful demons will also use mysterious techniques to combine abyssal metals to create a talisman that stores part of their life essence as insurance.

Once killed in the Abyss, this amulet allows it to be reborn at a certain time and place.

Brian had suspected for a long time that the reason why the demon lord Balor the Flame King was sealed by his nemesis in the Doomsday Volcano on the sixth pyre of the Abyss was that he had not found the talisman that stored the essence of life.

In other words, if he kills it here, then the other party is very likely to gain new life and freedom through the amulet.

This is very likely to take an extremely long process, and for Brian, it is not a threat at all.

However, one thing really made the demon lord hit the mark.

That is, with Brian's current strength, it is indeed impossible to kill the real body of this demon lord at the fastest speed.

However, he still has one hand to prepare.

——"Oath from Another World, Heavenly Mountain!"

A dazzling golden light interweaves into a summoning circle, and several archon protoss exuding divine brilliance are summoned by Brian from Tianjie Mountain to this underground space.

"The patron of Tianjie Mountain, Reginas, the envoy of the holy sword, is waiting for your order."

An incomparably majestic voice sounded, and the speaker was a male angel exuding rough beauty. He flapped two pairs of wings exuding red brilliance, and landed in front of Brian.

This is the Holy Sword Divine Envoy of Tianjie Mountain, the executor of the laws of the heavens.

Behind this Holy Sword Divine Envoy, there are also 5 Garrison Divine Envoys with white fur and panda heads, and 3 Night Owl Divine Envoys who flap their snow-white wings and look like giant owls.

"Get rid of this demon lord!" Brian nodded slightly at the holy sword envoy, and gave an order.

He has already received messages from Santilla and Storm, claiming that they have left the floating city, which means that his time is running out.

If the ghost princes turned their eyes here, it would be even more difficult for him to escape.

"I am willing to serve you!"

The envoy of the holy sword bowed slightly, looking into the golden eyes of the demon lord, the purest disgust suddenly flashed, "Devil, accept the purification! The soul of any evil person will be imprisoned in the prison of the seventh heaven forever!"

——"Supernatural ability: holy flame arm blade!"

A strong divine energy erupted from the body of the holy sword god, and his arms were transformed into two lightsabers with sacred and blazing attributes in an instant.

——"Weakness insight!"

——"Cracking Stealth Kill!"

The envoy of the holy sword shook her red glowing wings lightly, and the two lightsabers crossed in front of her chest, turning into a strangling flame, tearing through the air like a sharp arrow, and swooping straight to the demon lord.

A stream of blood spurted out.

A shocking gap was punched out of the demon lord's chest by the high-speed rotating lightsaber, and the scorching holy flame spread towards the demon's whole body at an extremely fast speed, corroding his blood, muscles and bones.

There were shrill and hoarse wailing sounds one after another.

——"Glory Radiation!"

At this moment, the combination skills of the 5 guardian angels and the 3 night owl angels were also ready.

Accompanied by a loud roar like thunder, a beam of light emitting holy energy, like a waterfall of noise, washed over the body of the demon lord.

Puffs of scorched thick smoke filled the air.

The demon lord wailed in pain, his body was like raw meat thrown into a boiling oil pan, making a creepy sizzling sound.

——"Legendary Spell: Eternal Blazing Sun!"

As Brian's staff pointed at the dying demon lord, the inside of the wound with black blood continuously burst out with scorching hot and dazzling rays of light, as if hundreds of thousands of suns descended on this place at the same time.

Endless flames, with extremely terrifying high temperature, flooded the demon lord's body in an instant, causing his dilapidated body to melt and evaporate visibly with the naked eye.

The moment the legendary spell was released, Brian waved goodbye to the departing archons, then activated the teleportation spell without looking back, and disappeared on the spot.

Real man, never look back at the explosion!
