Chapter 1680: Astro Boy
Golden Glass formed not far from Bai Jin, activating [Climbing], Yang Yu’s feet landed steadily on the Golden Glass.
Using the foothold, Yang Yu did his utmost to block Ba’al’s attack.
Ba’al’s fierce thrust dragged Yang Yu and the Golden Glass beneath him, displacing them backward by a few centimeters, nearly crashing into the nearby Bai Jin.
The Golden Glass created by [Heavenly Step] was fixed mid-air, difficult to move, like stones embedded into grooves.
Yet Ba’al’s attack effortlessly pushed Yang Yu and the Golden Glass beneath him, causing displacement.
The black blood splashed on his face burned Yang Yu’s cheeks, and the injured back of his hand throbbed faintly, as if a thousand ants were crawling along the wound into his flesh.
The black magic controlled by Ba’al was undoubtedly beginning to erode Yang Yu’s body.
The attack blocked, Ba’al’s face showed no change, seeming unsurprised by Yang Yu’s arrival:
"Praise your courage.
But compared to me, you’re just struggling in vain."
"Many people have said that to me.
But, it seems I always survive in the end."
Glancing at the panel, Yang Yu once again took in Ba’al’s attributes with his eyes.
[Ba’al
Level: LV 200
Race: Demon, HP: 754123/800000, MP: 786284/800000
Special: [Demon’s Heart LV.MAX], Holy Light deals 200% damage to him, dealing 500% damage to units who use Holy Light.
Strength 10000, Defense 6000, Intelligence 7000, Special Defense 6000, agility 7000
Resistance: Dark Attribute Resistance +50%, Light attribute resistance +50%]
At Level 200, Ba’al’s attributes far surpass Agares’s.
Ba’al is not a support-type demon; he was created for only one purpose!
——To knock down the goddess blocking the path of humanity!
Ba’al’s power is undoubtedly strong; comparing him with the current Demon King, he might even be slightly stronger.
A smile appeared at the corner of Ba’al’s mouth as he twisted his long spear, the tip splitting into countless conscious black thorns, striking at Yang Yu.
Yang Yu took a deep breath, heightened his focus and attention, receiving the black thorns with his body.
The Fallen magic power was highly corrosive; if one did not concentrate on defense, Fallen magic power would take advantage of a moment’s weakness, breaking through the magical barrier protecting a person, affecting and assimilating the body.
But if one could concentrate on defense, handling a few black magic attacks wasn’t a problem.
The black thorns wrapped around Yang Yu, unceremoniously binding him to the Golden Glass.
At this moment, a ghost shadow appeared behind Ba’al, Gao Yuanyi swung his massive mechanical arm, smashing towards Ba’al’s head.
Ba’al tilted his head to the right, as if he’d foreseen Gao Yuanyi’s attack, effortlessly dodging Gao Yuanyi’s strike.
Gao Yuanyi swung and missed, his massive mechanical arm instantly piercing a newly appeared Golden Glass in front of him.
The center of the Golden Glass was completely pierced, Gao Yuanyi hung from the Golden Glass frame suspended in mid-air, raising his legs to kick at Ba’al.
Ba’al responded early again!
His figure swayed, moving forward several steps, and Ba’al dodged Gao Yuanyi’s kick again.
"Is that all you’ve got?"
Glancing back at Gao Yuanyi, black magic power burst from Ba’al’s body, blasting towards the nearby Gao Yuanyi and Yang Yu, attempting to engulf them.
Releasing the shield, holy light flickered faintly on Yang Yu’s body as Iyas purified his binding status.
Yang Yu grabbed the nearby incapacitated Bai Jin, jumped downwards to the right, landing on a newly formed Golden Glass, while Gao Yuanyi used another displacement skill, instantly moving near Tico and the others, swinging his fist towards the nearby Agares.
Agares didn’t expect it, Gao Yuanyi suddenly changing targets and arriving here from such a distance.
When Agares realized this and tried to activate teleportation magic, it was already too late, Gao Yuanyi’s punch landed on his back.
Another blue square lit up inside [Laplace],
"[Disrupting Hurricane]!"
Magic power transformed into a spinning hurricane, engulfing Gao Yuanyi’s mechanical arm, spreading unique magical forces widely, covering most of the sky.
[Disrupting Hurricane] indiscriminately sealed off a designated area, completely nullifying displacement skills.
Agares found himself temporarily unable to use displacement skills.
Even without hearing the sound of something shattering inside Ba’al, as Bai Jin had, Yang Yu held back.
Their coordinated attack was not only to help Bai Jin but also to create a diversion, sealing Agares so that he couldn’t teleport Ba’al away.
Agares steadied himself against the edge of the silver platform, which swayed and rolled in the air before finally stopping.
His back was punched by Gao Yuanyi, denting it several centimeters!
Agares smiled helplessly: "By the count, I’m your savior. Is this how you treat your savior?"
"Even a savior, if you now intend to take our lives, we can only rise and resist, striking first."
Gao Yuanyi came to a stop on a Golden Glass, the situation on Yang Yu’s side would likely become quite troublesome; he couldn’t rely on his ability anymore.
Flames erupted from beneath his feet, Gao Yuanyi floated in mid-air like Astro Boy.
Although the flames beneath his feet were highly unstable, making flight technically difficult, they were more than sufficient against Agares, who had lost displacement magic.
Seeing the situation, Tico and Li Yan reignited their confidence, targeting the nearby Agares, unleashing countless swift magic attacks.
Agares smiled helplessly, the task entrusted to him by Lord Ba’al had to be postponed; preserving his life now might offer an opportunity to complete the task elsewhere.
The platform beneath his feet rapidly expanded, transforming into a massive crocodile, and Agares was actively swallowed into its belly, plummeting to the ground.
Blackness roiled around Ba’al, transforming into thousands of black swords, firing at the nearby Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi, who were attacking Agares.
Yang Yu quickly pulled out a new shield from the system, an Illusion Shield rapidly unfolded before him, black swords splashed black sparks on his shield, releasing a destructive aura.
Bai Jin gasped deeply, calming his mood and adjusting his status as he conveyed through telepathy everything he had sensed to Yang Yu.
Now there was another reason why Ba’al, the Demon King, must be defeated here.
But whether to continue to engage the Demon King Ba’al made Yang Yu very conflicted.
Knowing Ba’al’s purpose, Yang Yu had the choice to let Ba’al leave quickly and continue seeking the battlefield between the Demon King and the Hero, but releasing the demon Ba’al like this, Yang Yu could not predict whether the demon would become a bigger threat than the Hero Lox.
Not letting Ba’al leave... persisting in the fight, would play right into Hero Lox’s hands.
