Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 1715: Shoot the Rider Before the Horse

Sponsored

The light blue sphere whistled as it approached. Lux pulled the Holy Sword out from Lotcar’s flesh and swung it forward with force, projecting countless small magic power spheres.

The small magic power spheres collided with the light blue spheres shot by He Meng, canceling each other out and exploding into plumes of blue smoke.

Even with the Demon King right in front of her, Qiuye didn’t back down. She drew her Sword Blade and quickly slid through the air, releasing streaks of Wind Blade.

The sharp Wind Blade exploded on the Demon King Armor, but Lux acted as if nothing had happened, standing on Lotcar’s back.

The long-distance Wind Blade was just a test and didn’t reveal any flaws in Lux, but Qiuye could not wait any longer.

The dark Ghost Shadow disappeared from Qiuye’s body, and a sharp blade silently swept across the sky, stabbing straight towards Lux’s heart.

Seeing Qiuye’s actions clearly, Lux raised the Holy Sword to block Qiuye’s attack.

As he looked up, the purple light under Lux’s helmet flickered like a candle flame, and Qiuye instantly seemed to be hit by an immobilization spell, her movements visibly delayed.

Two streams of magic power rose from Lux’s body, forming two fist-sized black spheres on his shoulders.

The black spheres shot out black rays, respectively aiming at the nearby Qiuye and He Meng, who was racking her brain for the next attack.

Suddenly, Lotcar made a sharp turn at extreme speed.

Even though Lux stood on his back, Lotcar didn’t stop running. Only this way could he quickly distance Qiuye and the others from Lux after they forced him off his back.

But now...

Lotcar could also feel the weight of Lux’s skills on his shoulders. If this skill hit, it would be difficult to get Lux off his back.

Considering that Yang Yu and the others couldn’t get close because he hadn’t stopped running, Lotcar made a decisive sharp turn towards Yang Yu and the others.

This sudden turn triggered a chain of butterfly effects.

Due to the inertia brought by the turn, Lux’s body shifted along with the black rays.

The black ray grazed the tip of Qiuye’s hair. He Meng used one hand to hold onto Lotcar and the other to grab Qiuye. Then a third hand emerged from her back, punching towards Lux.

With a push forward, Lux steadied himself on Lotcar, and a deep blue Magic Shield emerged from Lux’s body.

While blocking He Meng’s rubber-like arm, the shield on Lux’s body also blocked the magic attacks Bai Jin and the others took advantage of the situation to unleash.

"Hehe."

The face under Lux’s helmet displayed a terrifying, angry smile.

"I need to spend some effort to deal with this Silver Teeth Clan. I can’t let it escape with them."

Without hesitation, he lifted his foot. A great amount of magic power instantly gathered at Lux’s foot, coating it with a layer of crimson armor.

"[Shattering Stomp]"

Before Qiuye and He Meng could react, Lux fiercely stomped down, and Lotcar’s body felt as if tens of thousands of pounds of iron had been pressed on it, instantly breaking several ribs and bending his spine.

The heavy force made a "thud" sound, causing Lotcar to fall to the ground with ice chips scattering on the road.

Now he was obedient. Lux didn’t say a word, but the terrifying aura he emitted seemed to speak to everyone.

Spitting out blood, clenching his teeth, Lotcar’s limbs trembled as he attempted to raise his body. Unfortunately, the sudden attack left him undefended, and in addition, Lux’s skills also had a paralysis control effect, so Lotcar ultimately couldn’t stand up.

As Lotcar lay in pain on the ground, He Meng and Qiuye didn’t even have time to care for him.

A man and a slime barely stabilized their posture and launched a joint attack.

Lux was unmoved by their attacks, only slightly blocking skills with control effects, while letting other attacks hit the Demon King Armor.

Quickly expanding his Magic Perception around him, Lux searched for Iyas’s location.

During the sharp turn earlier, Iyas held onto Lotcar’s fur tightly and wasn’t thrown off, but now, Iyas had already rolled off Lotcar’s back, landing not far from him.

Gathering all her strength, Iyas drew back the Longbow. Even though her attack had minimal effect, any chance to buy time was worth it.

Three shining Light Arrows flew from the bowstring, instantly reaching Lux’s eyes.

Having completely confirmed Iyas’s position, Lux moved his legs and leapt off Lotcar.

As the Light Arrows imbued with Holy Light approached, Lux manipulated the Demon King Armor to flicker with light that resisted the Holy Light.

Unexpectedly, Iyas’s Light Arrows did not directly collide with the Demon King Armor; instead, under her will, they orbited around Lux like comets entering their track.

The Demon King Armor used by Lux couldn’t always maintain its ability to reduce the effect of Holy Light.

To maintain the ability to resist the Holy Light, this armor must consume a lot of magic power.

If he was only dealing with a goddess and an angel with Holy Light, constantly activating the Demon King Armor’s effect wouldn’t be a problem, but now Lux had more to face than just Iyas.

To defeat other enemies, he should focus his magic power in an instant, and that would be the moment when the Holy Light could have an effect on him.

Although it’s like this, controlling the comet-like attack also required Iyas to exert her mental power, and her previous attack only slightly startled Lux, without effectively stopping him.

Lux was somewhat surprised by the Holy Light orbiting around him but paid it no mind. His armor could reduce damage to the greatest extent, so there was no need to worry.

Now, Lux only wanted to quickly deal with Iyas.

Without a team healer, wearing down Yang Yu’s team was just a matter of time.

Moreover, looking at attributes alone, Iyas was the easiest member to deal with.

The Holy Sword burst forth with a bright golden flame, and Lux thrust it fiercely towards Iyas’s chest.

Iyas did not sit idly by; she placed a hand on her chest, desperately pulling out the [Goddess’s Smile].

Having previously used the effect of [Goddess’s Smile], Iyas was unable to use the effect of this Elf Secret Treasure again.

However, Iyas could feel that Lux’s Holy Sword and the material strength of the Elf Secret Treasure were roughly equal.

Lux’s Holy Sword probably couldn’t pierce the Elf Secret Treasure in her hand.

Gripping the Elf Secret Treasure [Goddess’s Smile] tightly, Iyas placed her hand on her chest, and a vast amount of Holy Light covered her body!

Golden flames surged, and the Holy Sword accelerated suddenly.

With a "thump," the Holy Sword instantly pierced through the back of Iyas’s hand.

The [Goddess’s Smile], under the strike of Lux’s Holy Sword, got lodged in two of Iyas’s ribs on her chest.

Lux’s fierce force crushed two of Iyas’s ribs, but ultimately couldn’t pierce Iyas’s heart!
