Chapter 505 - 505: Petrified Ancient Snake Demon
[Petrified Ancient Snake Demon]
[Skill: Petrification (A-class. Gazing at the opponent for three seconds will petrify them. The stronger the opponent’s soul power, the longer the time required to petrify them).]
The enemy’s appearance and abilities reminded them of the ancient snake demon, Medusa.
Xu Yuan wasn’t surprised by the level and power of the enemy. The attribute panel did say it was an “ancient” snake demon.
Everything was shrouded in red.
‘Could this spire be connected to ancient power?’
Despite spending so much time exploring planes with Su Wan, they had yet to discover the ancient power mentioned by the other Lords.
At most, they had encountered creatures that had bathed in blood when the crimson moon rose.
Xu Yuan’s gaze sharpened. He needed to storm this spire and conquer it!
While contemplating, more and more ancient snake demons gathered on the path leading to the spire.
However, these creatures did not launch an attack. They slowed their pace and fixed their gray eyes firmly on them.
Xu Yuan was intrigued by them.
The territory was filled with undead troops that didn’t even have eyes. He wondered if these ancient snake demons could turn them into stone.
In just a moment, thousands of ancient snake demons had gathered.
At the top of the blood-colored spire, eyes burning with crimson flames watched everything.
The red light grew more intense.
The ancient snake demons below seemed to have heard the call. They became frenzied.
They let out piercing and mournful cries, and their lower bodies wriggled as they charged forward.
The ancient snake demons formed a tidal wave, determined to destroy anything in their path.
More and more ancient snake demons gathered on the path. It seemed like there was no end to them.
Xu Yuan was calm and composed. When the snake demons arrived within two hundred meters of where he was, he waved his hand.
The army tightly gripped their spears, formed by the condensation of dark energy.
The spears were released. They streaked across the sky like lightning bolts. They formed a volley of spears and completely enveloped the charging ancient snake demons.
The ancient snake demons raised their shields over their heads. They formed a temporary wall by connecting their shields.
The spears crashed against the shield. The grating of metal on metal rang through the air.
The spears were deflected by the shield. They exploded into dark energy.
The ancient snake demons felt relieved and proud of this achievement.
However, at that moment, it suddenly felt a blur before its eyes, and intense pain erupted in its chest and reached its back.
It saw a spear pierce through its chest.
The ancient snake demon felt the tremendous power dissipating rapidly. In the blink of an eye, its vision darkened, and it heavily fell to the ground.
After the first spear fell, thousands of spears followed in a split second.
The sound of the spears colliding with the heavy shields was loud, but even louder were the screams of agony.
Despite the successful attack, the line of ancient snake demons on the front lines hadn’t diminished much. The volley of spears had only killed around a hundred of them.
The tenacity of these ancient troops was clearly more than he had expected.
Xu Yuan waved his hand again. Subsequent attacks followed in quick succession.
The ancient snake demons faced the attacks bravely. It wasn’t enough to destroy them.
The monsters kept approaching. Xu Yuan waved his hand again.
“Rotten Cavalry, attack!”
Thousands of battleaxes whistled through the air while the chains on their wrists swung with a clattering sound.
After several rounds of enhancements, the Rotting Knights’ attack range had surpassed the distance of two hundred meters!
The battleaxes swung towards the ancient snake demons at an imperceptible speed.
The ancient snake demon was very perceptive. It raised its shield and blocked the attack.
The battleaxe struck the heavy shield with brutal force. Sparks flew everywhere.
Large cracks appeared on the shield, but it didn’t break. The ancient snake demon wasn’t fazed.
‘How dare these lowly beings even look upon the sacred ground we guard?!’
The ancient snake demons charged forward even more furiously.
They would use the blood of these invaders to appease the wrath of the almighty ruler!
However, at that moment, the ancient snake demon suddenly noticed cracks appearing on the battleaxe. It spread throughout the weapon.
It instinctively raised its shield higher.
But in that instant, the battleaxe exploded. The countless fragments of broken metal formed a storm.
The sharp fragments, imbued with terrifying power, tore through the shield.
The ancient snake demon felt a horrifying pain in its very soul, and it lost consciousness.
The remaining ancient snake demons suddenly sensed a terrifying heat emanating from within their bodies.
Flames erupted, and the ancient snake demon on the ground was burned to ashes. In its last moments, it saw its companions also engulfed in flames.
The front line of the battlefield erupted in scorching flames.
The elite troops trained by Xu Yuan had once again revealed their ability.
However, the tide of the battle did not change with the Rotten Cavalry’s attacks.
The ancient snake demons didn’t know the meaning of fear. Their mission was to annihilate the invaders.
As the troops made a move, the crimson flames atop the spire burned even more fiercely. Xu Yuan could sense the danger in those fiery eyes.
In another area, another war raged.
Many heavily armored human soldiers were mercilessly slaughtered by the ancient snake demons pouring in from the winding paths.
Numerous stone statues gradually appeared. The snake demons were petrifying the human soldiers!
An old man stood at an elevation and watched the ancient snake demons massacre the soldiers.
It was horrifying to watch. The moment the human soldiers looked at the ancient snake demons, they turned to stone!
In just a few minutes of combat, the army had already lost over a thousand soldiers.
At this rate, the entire army might be wiped out.
“Guild Leader, we’ve been deceived! He said this spire only had ordinary guards! He will taste pain when we get out of here!” The white-haired old man was infuriated..
