Age of Adepts

Chapter 1118 - A Terrible Enemy

The battles were unusually brutal and extraordinarily bloody!

The Abyssal Demon was like a crazed boar, paying no heed to the intense and ferocious arcane attacks of the Arcane Tower, knocking down one fine and magnificent art hall after another in the brilliant, firework-like arcane torrent.

The arcane apprentices who hid in it scattered one by one in terror under the influence of the terrifying aura of fear, and were then cut down one by one by the great demon with the huge vorpal sword in his hand. At the height of the slaughter, the demon would grab one of the apprentices and throw it into his mouth, and when his guillotine teeth closed, the mournful screams would cease, leaving only the crackling of flesh and bones.

The 4 ringed arcane masters hiding in the arcane tower saw this and, jaw-dropping, drove the tower down from the sky, engulfing the location of the great demon with a ferocious torrent of arcane. However, not waiting for them to return to the sky after completing their attacks, the Great Demon appeared out of nowhere with a loud bang on the side of the Tower of Arcane, wielding a huge Vorpal Sword and viciously slashing at the Arcane Barrier outside the Tower.

The Austrian Tower that was attacked would actually be struck by its incomparable brute force as it would fall to the ground in a violent shaking.

Although the falling Orbital Tower was not damaged in any way and was still able to attack fiercely, it lost its original flexibility and maneuverability, becoming only able to hold on to its original position, struggling to hold on to the Orbital Barrier whose vibrations and ripples continued unceasingly.

This also caused Grim, who was hidden in the shadows, to frown more than a little.

Originally, he had admired and envied this kind of arcane tower that the arcane masters had created, but now it seemed to have its own flaws and shortcomings.

First of all, the biggest point of deficiency was the lack of portions.

The Sorcerers had the Sorcerer Tower and the Olympians had the Orbital Tower, which was far superior to the Sorcerer Tower in comparison to the Orbital Tower in being able to fly into the sky and shift its location at will.

But it was also in order to be able to fly into the sky that the Orbital Tower made multiple weight reductions to itself when building its foundation.

Most of the towers are made of stone with special magical properties, and they have both physical and magical protection. In particular, the most common type of stone used in Wizard Towers is steel rock, which amplifies the effect of physical defense to the maximum. Accordingly, the weight of the tower is also astonishingly high.

The Arcane Tower, on the other hand, all used lightweight materials, using some kind of special Arcane alloy.

The biggest advantage of this material was that it was light enough, taking into account both material and magic defense.

This also resulted in an equivalent model of the Arcane Tower being a hundred times lighter than the Witch Tower.

It was the effect of this reason that caused that Arcane Tower to lose in a head-on confrontation with a large creature like the Great Demon just now. It was also the strange sight of a 5-meter tall Demon chasing and slashing a 100-meter tall Tower all over the world.

That large demon wasn't stupid either.

It was able to use the demonic creature's unique 'Precise Teleportation' to avoid the Tower's ferocious attacks, and then unexpectedly appeared near them, using its own even more ferocious and wild attacks to squeeze the opponent into a predicament where it was difficult to use its power.

However, only a thick-skinned demon like Daemon could do such a thing.

Powerful and twisted protective force field + perverted level anti-demon skin + super strong demonic physique... Without these, if it were any other creature, it would have been blown into a bloody pulp by the ferocious attacks of the two arcane towers.

It was with this strong capital that the great demon, despite its body being even more tattered by the arcane attacks, was still attacking fiercely, its battle power not diminishing in the slightest, instead it was knocking the two arcane towers to the ground frequently, needing the help of its companions to get back into the sky.

The battle between the two sides had been going on for a long time, and the battlefield stretched for several kilometers.

Along the way, all the arcane buildings had collapsed, and all the low and mid-level arcane masters and arcane apprentices had been slaughtered. The Great Demon, however, was only wounded, still appeared to be alive and well, and continued to frantically tangle with the two arcane towers.

Grim was stealthy and took the opportunity to gather some basic information about the Great Demon.

"Great Demon, Intermediate Level 4, Demonic Creature, Body Base Data: strength 43 physique 45 agility 27 spirit 31, Combat Skills: precision teleportation, fear aura, evil attack, brutal body..."

Of these, Precision Teleportation allows the daemon to teleport at will to any visible area not shielded by borders or wizards, teleporting far better than a low-level demon's flame-jumping.

Fear Aura, on the other hand, is an area spell similar to a magical boundary that causes all creatures in the aura's envelope to shudder from the depths of their souls, afraid to look directly at or fight the daemon.

Evil Attack, on the other hand, is a racial ability that all demonic creatures have, capable of attaching the corrupting and polluting effects of hellfire to all of their attacks. Individuals attacked by them will never be able to heal themselves if they don't manage to get rid of this evil effect.

As for the Brutal Body it is even more terrifying.

It gives the daemons the strange power of attacking with great power the more severely injured they are.

Therefore, when fighting a large demon, you cannot let down any guard until the moment you cut off its head. Otherwise, it's extremely easy to be powerfully overturned by a large demon that's pushing you to the brink!

Grim couldn't help but slurp in admiration as he tasted the Great Demon's combat skills.

Although he had simulated an Inferno Transformation for a while, in the end, the Abyss Inferno was only a middle tier demonic creature, but the large demon before him was a genuine upper tier character.

If he could topple it and pull it back as a trophy, it would undoubtedly be a huge gain as well!

However, the battlefield feedback that the chip projected back made Grim dispel this unwise thought.

The Abyssal Demon, despite the fact that its body was already in tatters, maintained its life energy breath at over 87%. And its mess and tatters, to a greater extent, rather resembled a disguise or bait, luring those secret peeps to make a move on it.

Faced with such a guy who was capable of bursting the sky with his flesh* and bravery, Grim could only shake his head and sneak away from the side of the battlefield.

However, he was able to spy on that great demon's emptiness, the other intruders might not.

Thus, before Grim could get far away, the combination of the werewolf and the fox girl did not hesitate to rush towards the large demon.

Grim immediately hesitated, wondering if he should continue to stay and see if there was any chance, or if he should go elsewhere for a turn.

However, at this moment, somewhere in the distance, a cold and gloomy deathly aura erupted out of nowhere, mixed with Mangus's exasperated growl and Qiu Lisa's scream.

Hmm? A witch and a two-headed wizard against each other?

Grim hesitated a little, but chose to sneak off to a new battlefield to see what was going on there.

At this time, above the Floating City battlefield was already a chaotic war quagmire, swirling all the invaders and arcane masters in it.

The arcane masters wanted to use their geographical position to repel the invaders' attacks, while the invaders were fishing in one muddle after another, trying to take advantage of the chaos to usurp a bigger and more lucrative share of the rewards.

As a result, any small battle could draw more attention from the predators and make the battle grow larger and more difficult to control like a snowball.

Of all the predators that came smelling of blood, the siblings, Mangus and Kewlissa, were undoubtedly the weakest and easiest target of them all.

Thus, the witch demon didn't hesitate to attack the siblings even after it sensed their scent.

Witch demons were also extremely terrifying magical creatures!

They are not natural creations, but rather some powerful caster who transformed himself into a strange witch demon by a special magic ritual in order to continue surviving when his life was coming to an end.

A witch demon is essentially an undead creature, possessing a near-immortal body and an immortal soul.

But this was just a commoner's falsehood in an uninformed state of mind!

Even Witch Demons couldn't be truly immortal, they still had a life limit. Only an ordinary Witch Demon could survive for thousands of years, while a Demigod and above (5th rank) could survive for tens of thousands of years. Such a span of time could indeed be considered immortal to a mortal with only a hurried hundred years to live.

But for all high powered creatures and supernatural species, a Wraith's life was only slightly longer. At the end of their lives, their souls would decay as time passed, turning into ashes of their souls that could not be saved.

It was because the Witch Demon was a strange existence that lay between life and death, which also made most of their attack abilities tend to be instant death type spells.

One Finger of Death!

Death Sentence!

Sudden cardiac arrest!

Death Pact!

Law: death!

Ashes to ashes!

Dissociation!

Soul entrapment!

Apoptosis!

........

It was because there were too many instant death spells to choose from, so when fighting a witch, any living being that didn't have a strong enough soul or a powerful item to guard against instant death spells would only become a shivering white rabbit.

And the current two-headed witches were even more miserable as hell!

Faced with a powerful witch that came to their door, Mangus and Qiu Lisa naturally had no chance to hide, and could only transform into their strongest forms at the first moment. Mangus' elemental sorcery and Qiu Lisa's spiritual abilities complemented each other, amplifying each other's abilities and allowing them to cast dual spells, so an ordinary Level 4 Sorcerer might have been caught unprepared.

Unfortunately, what they encountered right now was an incomparably powerful old Witch Demon.

The sorceries that they shot out were all shattering on the jade white skeletal body of the powerful Witch Demon, and were directly immune or resisted by the opponent with their Witch Demon body. But the other party's instant-death spells that were comparable to a stormy rainstorm hit them with blood spurting from their mouths and their life force dropping wildly.

If it wasn't for the greatly increased magic resistance after the fusion of their souls, they would have been soul-destroyed in the first round of blows from the powerful Witch Demon!
