Chapter 1632: Blocking the Way
A few minutes earlier.
Through the vague image sent by Sol Rott, it could basically be concluded that Heroic Warrior Volcrix was replaced by Hero Lox.
Yang Yu and his companions were in the carriage discussing their next strategy.
Lox, without hesitation and without any cover-up, severed the bonds between Heroic Warrior Volcrix and his companions, cutting off Volcrix’s possibility of reclaiming his body.
Yang Yu could see that Lox didn’t care whether this piece of history would be recorded by the giant dragons or the Nine-Life Cat Demon.
As long as he successfully allowed the Devil King’s Power to fully gather on him, everything would operate as he imagined, and risks would disappear.
Lox, having prepared meticulously for so many years, was extremely confident.
Yang Yu watched each battle Lox had before returning to the Village of Heroes from beginning to end, but no one could guarantee that Lox hadn’t changed his tactics in the days that followed.
Only by actually engaging in combat could one know the strength of Hero Lox.
If Lox was really strong, the situation from that day would certainly replay, Hero Lox would surely first think of ways to purge his companions before making a move on him...
This world has devices for resurrection. If companions fall in battle, as long as they win the final battle, they can revive them.
The problem is, how to ensure victory in the final battle.
Before finding a method, if the team loses members, the battles ahead will only become increasingly difficult.
What concerned Yang Yu was neither the demons colluding with Lox nor the reincarnated Goblin Emperor, but that somewhat vague slender figure.
A trace of beast ear marks could be vaguely seen atop her head.
If Yang Yu guessed correctly, she should be the last princess of the ancient Kingdom Chun Lan.
Yang Yu once tried to have the Nine-Life Cat Demon track the whereabouts of that princess, but was met with stern refusal.
Even though Lox had the Nine-Life Cat Demon’s Queen cover the whereabouts and identities of his companions, Yang Yu, by changing his thinking pattern, managed to gather some fragmented clues.
Unfortunately, with just those fragmented clues, it’s hard to determine the specific strength of that woman and her role in Lox’s operations.
"If we divide the battlefield...
Will Bai Jin and the others find it easier?
But....."
Muttering to himself, Yang Yu stroked his face, letting out a scoff at himself.
Lowering his hand, Yang Yu’s gaze became increasingly firm as if making some decision, and he added one more item to the prepared plan.
Before Yang Yu could put this plan on the table to discuss with everyone.
Bai Jin, sitting next to Yang Yu, couldn’t help but frown.
For some reason, Tico and Li Yan sitting opposite Yang Yu likewise furrowed their brows.
"Magic Burst, triggering turbulence."
The Laplace in Gao Yuanyi’s hand was flickering as he was about to explain in detail when Bai Jin tightly gripped the Magic Wand Sigh Seed, positioning its end at the center of the carriage.
Concentric rings of Magic Array surrounded the Magic Wand Sigh Seed, spreading at the bottom of the carriage.
Bai Jin reinforced the carriage with reinforcement magic to increase its stability and deployed a defensive barrier.
Seeing this, the others pulled onto various parts of the carriage and prepared for battle at any moment.
Ahead of the carriage, massive magic power appeared out of thin air, tearing a black rift in the sky, through which a white light sphere drilled, visually expanding rapidly, and instantly filled most of the sky.
Powerful magic fluctuations, accompanied by strong winds, swept the ground, carrying countless debris, bombarding Yang Yu’s carriage repeatedly.
Lotcar leaned down as much as possible to stabilize his center of gravity to keep from being lifted and used his massive body for defense to prevent the debris from hitting Yang Yu’s carriage.
Through the combined efforts of Bai Jin and Lotcar, although their carriage suffered some damage, it wasn’t overturned.
When the fierce wind subsided, Bai Jin’s gaze was still filled with concern:
"Yang Yu, it’s teleportation magic!
Something has been teleported here to us!
Iyas quickly drew her bow and arrows: "Even though we’re not near the coast yet, how did they find us?"
Yang Yu kicked the carriage door open and was the first to jump out of it.
The moment his feet landed, the white light sphere covering Black Diamond Lorne exploded with a roar, once again generating powerful magic fluctuations, lifting the sand on the earth’s surface.
"[Interception]!"
Yang Yu instantly appeared in front of Lotcar, his feet firmly planted on the ground as the [Illusion Shield] rapidly extended on his Shield.
The sand struck Yang Yu’s Illusion Shield with a bam.
Amidst the dust-laden sky, they vaguely saw a massive figure descend to the ground.
Black Diamond Lorne loomed over them, shaking his head left and right to confirm his position.
The vast ocean was completely replaced by endless mountain ranges, with scenery surrounding him that Black Diamond Lorne had never seen before.
"Did they indeed succeed?"
With resentment in his heart, Black Diamond Lorne, though possessing excellent defense, had weaker attacks and could only rely on countless steel creations as his limbs to attack and harass.
The Hero was no fool and understood his weakness clearly, devising strategies around his shortcomings.
Completely outmaneuvered.
"First, let’s figure out where this is.
Use Location Magic to pinpoint the location.
If it’s close to the transmission platform to Magic City, he could quickly return via the teleportation platform controlled by the Demon Clan.
Lord Demon King... you must be safe."
Agares dared to teleport him out, surely well-prepared.
They likely sabotaged the nearby teleportation array, leaving him unable to return to Demon King City, but Black Diamond Lorne decided to take his chances.
Just as Black Diamond Lorne was about to take action, the words spoken by Agares popped into his mind without warning.
His being moved here wasn’t a coincidence at all.
Other goddess’ apostles had yet to appear, could it be...
Through the dust, Black Diamond Lorne sensed the presence of some people, and fanned his enormous steel wings hard to blow away the swirling dust.
Yang Yu appeared in front of Black Diamond Lorne, whose steel Dragon Eyes suddenly constricted:
"I see.
So that’s how it is.
The Goddess’ Apostle ultimately united according to the goddess’ will.
Do they think separating us means they can defeat us one by one?
Is this battle’s outcome entirely within your expectations?!
Is it to create an opportunity for the Demon King and Hero to fight one-on-one?
Don’t be ridiculous!
"
For a moment, Black Diamond Lorne almost lost his sanity.
Fortunately, Black Diamond Lorne quickly regained his composure, amplified his magic power, and sensed the surroundings to determine how many clansmen and steel fragments had been sent here.
Among the misfortune, there was some luck; although he was moved to land, many of Black Diamond Lorne’s steel fragments were also transferred over and hadn’t entirely lost contact with him.
