Chapter 66 Ch 66: Dark Devil Storm
When others heard Ivaan's words, their expressions changed. If their luck was also this bad, then their trip to the Earth King's Ancient Land would be in vain.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, everyone suffered another attack from the gusts of Dark Wind and the Dark Wind Monsters.
This time, the Dark Wind and Dark Wind Monsters weren't strong, and the Dark Wind only lasted for about ten minutes. They didn't lose a single person and were able to deal with this wave also.
Two days later, everyone encountered three attacks in a row. However, each one of these three attacks was more dangerous than the previous ones. More than eight hundred Dark Wind Monsters were attacking in the second attack and about thousands of them in the third attack.
This made everyone feel great pressure.
In order to reduce the casualties, Ivaan, Aaban, and Aayan finally revealed seventy to eighty percent of their strength, and only then did they manage to resolve the crisis.
In fact, during this attack, Alex had also revealed a relatively powerful strength, which was only below the Spirit Origin Stage.
This caused others in the group to look at Alex in a new light.
A Golden Core Stage martial warrior could unleash such a powerful strength, this was something they had never even imagined.
It was mainly for the people of Heavenly Gate and the Hundred Poison Sect. Alex belonged to the Mystical Peak, so seeing his terrifying strength, instead of looking at him in awe, they looked at him with envy and jealousy in their hearts.
.....
More than two and a half days had passed since they entered the Second Floor of the Earth King's Ancient Land. It had been nearly three days.
Three consecutive days of flying did not have much of an impact on them. They were all at least Golden Core Stage martial warriors, so flying for half a month in a row without fighting was not a big problem.
However, they hadn't crossed the First Stage of the Second Test for nearly three days, so they were a little anxious.
Boom! Boom!
Rumble!
Suddenly, one could faintly hear rumbling sounds continuously approaching. At the same time, an enormous pressure and wind rampaged over.
This pressure, apart from a small portion of the three Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors, caused the remaining people to tremble in fear.
"This... Is the Dark Wind attacking again? But Dark Wind's attack is not like this." One of them said nervously.
Kim Min-Oh and the others looked at Ivaan and the other two Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors, waiting for answers. After all, these three people were the most powerful in their group of 29 people. Moreover, these three people were also leaders of their own force.
So, all the people treated these three as their leaders and the ones who can bring them out of this place successfully.
Aayan frowned and said, "This... I don't know either. From this pressure, it's definitely not something Dark Wind can compare with."
At this moment, the void trembled. An increasingly powerful pressure slowly descended and a small portion of the people's faces turned pale.
Powerful whirlwinds swept over as if they were going to tear apart the entire void.
In the crowd, Aaban's pupils suddenly shrank as he muttered: "Could it be that this is the Dark Devil Storm?"
"Dark Devil Storm! Aaban, you said this is a Dark Devil Storm." When others heard this, their expressions changed drastically. They couldn't help but become excited and at the same, a look of worry also flashed in their eyes.
They were excited because the arrival of Dark Devil Storm means that they had successfully passed the First Stage which was Dark Wind Void and entered the Second Stage of the Second Test which is to deal with the Dark Devil Storm.
Ivaan's expression also turned ugly as he muttered, "If this really is the Dark Devil Storm, then we'll have to be extremely careful."
Aayan smiled bitterly and said, "If Aaban didn't say it, I wouldn't have even guessed this. We didn't even sense it when we passed the Dark Wind Void after all. However, only the Dark Devil Storm is capable of exuding such pressure here."
From the information that suddenly appeared in everyone's mind after they come to the Second Floor, everyone knew that a Dark Devil Storm is enough to tear apart any Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior. There is simply no need to mention martial warriors at the Golden Core Stage or below.
"If it's just one Dark Devil Storm, we three can still deal with them. What I'm afraid of is that there will be too many of them. For the sake of staying safe and alive, every one of us is no longer suitable for battle alone. We must unite together and fight. Otherwise, none of us will be able to get out of this place." Ivaan said.
Well, everyone understood what he meant. Moreover, if it is just Dark Devil Storm, then it was not that much of a problem. They can deal with it by uniting the attacks of everyone together. What is scary was that after the Dark Devil Storm, monsters even more terrifying than the Dark Wind Monsters will appear and attack.
Everyone started regrating their decision of continuing climbing the floors of Ancient Land just for the sake of some rewards.
Before, they even decided to return after passing the First Stage. What made them curse in their hearts was that they didn't even know when they passed the first stage and when the test of the second stage started.
Everyone formed a circle and waited for the Dark Devil Storm to come.
.....
Boom! Boom!
Boom!
The vibration in the air was getting stronger and stronger as if the entire void would be broken if it continued to shake.
In an instant, three terrifying blue storms that were nearly ten thousand feet tall swept over.
"There are actually three Dark Devil Storms. Everyone, be careful." Ivaan took a deep breath when he saw this. A trace of heaviness flashed across his face. And the same goes for Aayan and Aaban.
As for the rest of the people, they panicked. Alex was no exception. With his strength of Golden Core Stage, it was simply impossible for him to deal with a Dark Devil Storm alone.
"Sky Fire Armor!"
Alex shouted in a low voice and the next second, a fire armor wrapped around his entire body.
It was not only Alex, others also started preparing their attacks.
"Spirit Wings, condense!"
"Wings Spirit Dance!"
At this moment, Ivaan, Aaban, and Aayan used a hundred percent of their strength this time.
As the strongest people in the group, they had the obligation to block these Dark Devil Storms at the front. They alone blocked two Dark Devil Storms. As for the rest people, they were left to deal with the remaining Dark Devil Storm.
Facing the Dark Devil Storm, everyone did not dare to be careless and used their most powerful moves. They all joined forces and attacked together.
Boom!!
Everyone's attacks collided with the Dark Devil Storm. Countless dark blue violent storms surged out and the entire void seemed to have entered the end of the world, and space was on the verge of being torn apart everywhere.
All kinds of lights were flashing in the void. An intense fight broke out.
The people gave their hundred percent in order to deal with these Dark Devil Storms.
Dark Devil Storm was only the second stage. there was also the third stage which was the most terrifying. None of them were confident that they could deal with the third stage.
So, none of them wanted to continue forward. They all thought in their hearts that after dealing with these Dark Devil Storms, they'll not move forward and stop here.
Only when they can find ways to go back will they start moving again. But it'll not forward but backward. They'll retreat immediately at that time.
Ivaan, Aaban, and Aayan were all Level 9 Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors. They still had the strength to resist the Dark Devil Storm.
However, they were dealing with two Dark Devil Storms with the strength of three people. It took some time but they were still able to deal with Dark Devil Storms.
After that, they looked at the group of people behind them, only to see them gasping for breaths. All the people were heavily injured. Among these people, only Alex and surprisingly Eloise, only these two people were exceptions.
