Chapter 1038: Enemies from the Abyss
The number of Evil Beasts was as many as tens of millions. They formed a wide black carpet on the snowfield, and their surging bodies couldn't help but remind her of the scene when ants were eating a corpse.
However, this time they were not facing corpses at their disposal, but equally brutal demons.
Those skeleton monsters, whose size was comparable to tall buildings, slowly moved in the beast swarm, seemingly being pushed by the enemy's successive attacks. But every time it put down a foot, several Evil Beasts that didn't have time to avoid it would be crushed into meat paste. To its size, those four twisted long legs were as slender as branches, but the little girl knew that if viewed up close, the monster's limbs were probably even thicker than Agatha's Mage Tower.
Numerous Mad Demons clung to its abdomen, launching waves of spear attacks from a high position, while the Evil Beasts could only brace themselves and move forward, making it difficult to mount an effective counterattack.
"Magic Parasite."
She couldn't help but think of this title.
Deformed demons between living and dead things, with no fixed shape, like tumors parasitizing between skeletons and black stones, relying on magic to attack or move. The Spider Demons that newly appeared in the Battle of Wangbei Slope, and the behemoth in front of her now, were likely to belong to the same type of demon.
No matter how sharp the fangs were, hitting stones would basically result in the same outcome. The helpless Evil Beast swarm could only bypass those skeleton monsters and attack the main force in the rear.
Without city walls as cover, this should have been a fierce battle.
However, the berserk beasts might have a clear advantage against unarmed humans, but they were obviously somewhat overwhelmed when facing the Mad Demons who were extremely good at strength and speed. Although there were still many mixed species among them, the demons also placed Hell Lords, Siege Beasts, and Spider Demons at the front of the line. Their speed in killing mixed species was almost no slower than the First Army. Obviously, the number of Evil Beasts was several times greater than the demons, but the latter occupied the wind in momentum.
Probably noticing that the speed had slowed down, Maisie poked her head out again. Seeing such an amazing scene, she couldn't help but gasp.
"The Evil Beasts are fighting the demons, goo?"
"The reason why Neverwinter City is so peaceful this Evil Month is probably because of this," Lightning said pretentiously. "But one thing is very strange. Those ancient witches of Taquila said that the Evil Beasts always come looking for relics of the gods? If I were the Demon King, I would definitely not bring the relics to this desolate place where there is nothing. In other words, their gathering here should be for another reason. It's a pity that Sylvie couldn't travel with us, otherwise she would definitely be able to gather more information."
Maisie tilted her head, "Then are you still going to give them a surprise?"
"Of course!" Lightning said without hesitation, "We are so close to the Taquila ruins now, and the Terror Beasts haven't come to make trouble, which means that they simply can't spare any energy to pay attention to the surrounding situation. This is an excellent opportunity for us."
Without a doubt, both demons and Evil Beasts were enemies of Roland, and if this group of monsters could be made to fight even more fiercely, it could also reduce some pressure for the expedition plan after the spring.
She slightly estimated the magic power in her body. If she flew at a speed exceeding the speed of sound, she could probably last for three to four minutes. To be on the safe side, leaving half of the magic power for escape was absolutely safe. Within the remaining two minutes, if she wanted to shake the demon defense line, the choice of flying position would be crucial.
The little girl set her sights on the skeleton monsters.
These huge deformed structures looked like crooked benches from afar, with their bodies made of flat black stone bones, quite similar to the glider runway that His Majesty built on the east coast. They were simply ideal low-altitude flyby targets.
According to the results of her ability test, the lower her height from the ground, the greater the damage she caused when flying. If she could skim past the enemy's body, then the Mad Demons located on the abdomen would definitely be greatly affected.
Since her advanced awakening, she had been forcibly pulled by His Majesty to instill a lot of principles of high-speed flight, and she also learned that the energy detonated when crossing the sound barrier had a great relationship with body size. If it was Maisie who exceeded the speed of sound in the sky above Neverwinter City on the day of her awakening, I am afraid that all the people in the city would suffer.
Therefore, the little girl did not intend to defeat the demons in one fell swoop.
She just wanted to slow down the attack of the Mad Demons.
Because the area directly below the skeleton monster was like a death zone, the Evil Beast swarm had to avoid it to both sides, which greatly hindered its advance speed. Without these unscrupulous enemies, the demon rear defense line would probably bear greater pressure.
Even if the plan ultimately failed, it would not have any impact on her.
After making a decision, Lightning pressed Maisie's head into her arms and swooped down towards the skeleton monster closest to her!
At that moment, she had completely forgotten Roland's instructions.
No one can catch the tail of sound, it's time to show them the true flying skills!
The distance of several kilometers arrived in an instant. When she appeared in the battlefield, she had already entered the silent field.
But that was just in her opinion.
In the eyes of the demons, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and it kept pressing towards the earth. That was the explosion caused by the collision of the front and rear shock waves. When Lightning changed direction and skimmed over the top of the skeleton monster at a height of five meters, the shock wave that burst open instantly turned the accumulated snow into balls of white mist, almost covering the entire body of the monster. The deafening explosion also made the demons let out painful roars!
But she had no time to observe the effect. There were five other targets on the battlefield waiting for her.
When preparing to fly over the third skeleton monster, an unexpected change occurred!
A figure suddenly appeared on the bare platform. No one noticed where it came from, but the moment it stood there, it instantly took away all of her attention. Although the distance between the two was very far, Lightning felt cold all over, and even her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
It was a demon, but it had an appearance extremely similar to that of a human. Except that the skin was blue, it was almost impossible to see other differences. The facial features were outstanding, and the golden eyes seemed to be even deeper than the abyss of hell. Just by looking at it, Lightning felt an instinctive fear from the bottom of her heart, like a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake.
What is this monster!
She could feel the magic power surging in the opponent's body, the strength of which even distorted the surrounding vision. This sense of oppression was almost tangible. Although she was in high-speed flight, she felt like she had fallen into a viscous swamp, and was slowly approaching it little by little.
Escape!
Run away!
The consciousness in her mind was warning her - she couldn't fly any further, she had to escape immediately!
But her body couldn't move at all, as if it was completely out of her control.
And that demon slowly raised its right arm towards her.
At this moment, a sharp pain suddenly came from her chest!
As if someone had driven a nail straight into her body -
It was Maisie!
As this pain flowed through her body, her limbs instantly returned to her control, and even the passage of time returned to normal.
Lightning suddenly raised her body and shot up diagonally, escaping from the opponent at the fastest speed, and flew towards Neverwinter City without looking back.
