Chapter 1845 - 998: Annihilating the Demigod Demons (Part 2)
If the opponent wasn’t the Six-Armed Snake Demon with its melee advantage, Lis wouldn’t have planned to use this ability.
However, Lis made sure that Hestiria’s strength was weakened to the point where she wasn’t his opponent before canceling the illusion.
Lis had different strategies for different enemies.
While Hestiria was still fighting with Lis in the illusion, her vision blurred, and she returned to reality.
She found that Lis, who was just entangled with her and seriously injured, was now standing calmly in front of her.
As if he hadn’t made a move just now.
But Hestiria felt that most of the power in her body was already exhausted.
After losing contact with the Demon’s Gate, recovering strength was very difficult for a demigod demon like Hestiria.
And now, with her drastically weakened strength, not to mention escaping, it was difficult to even hold out a little longer against Lis.
However, after all, Hestiria was different from Visarion.
She slightly raised her six arms, the sword blades sparkling with a cold light pointed at Lis, her expression calm without the slightest ripple.
Even though she made no movement, Lis felt as though he was being stared at by a viper, unable to escape.
Sure enough, there were still special means!
Lis’s eyes lit up as he looked at Hestiria, who was ready to fight to the death.
From the demigod six-armed snake demon, he felt a lethal aura.
Though it was just a trace, it was enough to make Lis stay alert.
Lis didn’t advance rashly, instead confronting Hestiria from his original position.
Abyss Breath surrounded with piercing malice surged forth, and Hestiria stretched her arms simultaneously.
In each of her hands, she clutched a longsword exuding abyssal black light.
In the next second, her six arms exerted force simultaneously, with no disparity in timing, six longswords tore through the void with sharp sounds, slashing towards Lis from a distance.
Though a significant distance separated them, beyond a typical sword’s attack range, Lis felt an asphyxiating killing intent locking onto him.
The tips of the six longswords seemed to break through the confinement of space, ready to fiercely slash down on his head the next moment.
Hestiria’s actions defied physiological norms, the posture of her six arms coordinating to slash was exceptionally intricate.
But in Lis’s eyes, it only conveyed an unsettling sense of distortion.
Space bent under the sword wind, light shattered in the blade glimmers.
All distances and directions lost their meaning, as though no matter how he dodged, that sword would inevitably strike his head.
More terrifying was the chaotic, twisted ripples continuously emanating from the six longswords.
The ripples intertwined and collided, gradually merging into one, the six fierce blades transformed into a massive magic sword seeming to pierce through heaven and earth.
The sword body entwined with abyss power capable of twisting space, carrying the overwhelming might to shatter the world and completely destroy all living beings.
That longsword, with an apocalyptic oppressive presence, slashed straight towards Lis.
The surrounding air warped into a vortex by this power, as if only this deadly sword shadow remained.
Lis’s expression turned abruptly serious, chaotic faith power surged rapidly around him, not daring to relax the slightest bit.
Above his head, a divine artifact, the [World Tree’s Moonlight Holy Grail], appeared slowly glowing with a translucent luster.
Flowing with the unique power of law from the World Tree, the cup was surrounded by gentle yet inviolable moonlight.
A continuous stream of pure chaotic faith power gushed out from Lis’s body, flowing entirely into the Holy Grail.
Quickly coalescing a pool of emerald green life liquid at the bottom of the cup.
As the liquid dripped, each drop contained the monumental power to soothe chaos and stabilize time and space.
Emerald green liquid dripped in mid-air without making any sound, silently merging into the surrounding twisted space.
At this instant, a heavy, calm, and unshakeable sense of stability from the world’s essence spread instantaneously, as if locking this chaotic space with the strongest shackles.
The violent power on Hestiria’s magic sword, capable of twisting the world, was smoothed and dissipated layer by layer before this stabilizing force, like snow meeting the sun.
The fused colossal magic sword gradually collapsed, transforming back into six ceaselessly trembling longswords.
No matter how Hestiria urged them, the longswords could no longer advance a fraction forward to strike.
This desperate kill was thus completely blocked by Lis with ease and composure.
This full-force strike had exhausted all of Hestiria’s power.
At the moment the sword momentum was broken, her scale armor dimmed all over.
Her six arms drooped weakly, and her massive snake body staggered backwards uncontrollably, devoid of any more strength to resist.
Her scarlet eyes surged with unwillingness and rage, opening her mouth to utter the most poisonous Abyssal Curse, angrily cursing Lis’s "despicableness."
But Lis gave her no chance, flashing in front of her in a split second.
His wrist flipped, seizing the sharpest longsword from her hands.
With a swift flick of the wrist, a flash of cold light, her beautiful yet hideous head was cleanly and decisively severed from the thick snake body.
After Hestiria’s head rolled down, Abyss Breath rapidly dissipated.
Upon Hestiria’s death, Lis’s system interface refreshed with new notifications.
However, Lis had no time to check, quickly storing Hestiria’s body, then charging towards the other demigod demons.
Time was short, killing one more demigod demon now would make things easier later.
Soon, the roars of other demigod demons echoed within the barrier of the [Crown of Fertility].
...
Unknown to how long had passed, the barrier formed by the [Crown of Fertility] shattered open.
Several figures emerged, then fled in extreme distress towards the distance.
And behind these figures, likewise, six figures pursued.
The two parties raced forward, swiftly heading towards the distance.
Soon, the former reached the vicinity of the Demon’s Gate, diving in unhesitatingly.
Lis and the others who followed didn’t rashly approach,
The Demon’s Gate here was different from those Lis had previously destroyed.
These Demon’s Gates, allowing demigod demons to pass through, were massive voids over ten kilometers in circumference.
These flat Demon’s Gates spread on the ground like a bottomless abyss, emanating a daunting aura.
Even Lis and the others were reluctant to recklessly approach such a scale of Demon’s Gate.
Who knew what kinds of dangers might emerge from it.
Moreover, this Demon’s Gate wasn’t something they could destroy.
"A pity, they ran quickly indeed."
The Dawn Divine Son Osmond said.
"The outcome is already quite good, only four demons escaped."
Cecilia said, turning her head to look at Lis:
"If not for Lord Lis dealing with those three most troublesome demons, the results might have been less than desirable."
"This is thanks to the goddess’s [Crown of Fertility]."
Lis shook his head and said.
Although he directly killed three demigod demons, and other three were taken down by Cecilia and the others together, the primary reason was the [Crown of Fertility]’s restriction on those demigod demons.
Not only did it generate a barrier, making it difficult for those demigod demons to escape, it also directly severed the connection between the demons and the Demon’s Gate, greatly diminishing the power of these demigod demons.
Otherwise, even for Lis, it would have been hard to take down three demigod demons in a short time.
The Earth Mother God truly deserved to be the MVP!
Nonetheless, Lis had already reaped plenty of benefits.
"What should we do next?"
Adela asked, looking at the massive Demon’s Gate in the distance.
"We will remain in the Elf Forest to help eliminate those Abyss Demons."
Osmond said:
"However, with this victory, it’s unlikely any demigod demons will come again soon."
"Indeed, I will arrange surveillance here, and we’ll return for now."
Lis nodded, preparing to head back.
He still had something to do.
To inquire what exactly the Dark Lord behind Demigod Brain Demon Visarion intended to do.
