Chapter Sixty-Two: Rise of the Cannon Fodder 4
The battle is still ongoing.
Soren is waiting for an opportunity to present itself, whether to stab the Fire Demon or the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, both options seem acceptable to him, as the powerful strength of the Balroth Fire Demon can help him swiftly rise to the rank of Demon Lord, while the abilities of the Six-Armed Serpent Demon can allow Soren’s dual wielding combat skills to be perfected. One is a very powerful Demon Bloodline, the other is an advanced form that can inherit part of the combat skills and strength of its original form.
In terms of overall strength in the future, the gap isn’t very large!
Soren has inherited the combat techniques of the curved blade, mastered the usage of dual wielding combat, and the advanced form of the Serpent Demon can help him easily regain these abilities, even further mastering multiple attacks and multi-weapon combat skills. From the perspective of the Bottomless Abyss bl**d War, at a later stage, there’s basically no need to fear enemy encirclement with the Serpent Demon form; with Soren’s abilities, enemies would d*e as they come!
Of course.
If given a choice, he still prefers the advanced path of the Balroth Fire Demon because the Balroth Fire Demon has powerful teleportation abilities.
The Serpent Demon is ultimately a warrior.
Although it has demon-like spell-like abilities, the Serpent Demon is still significantly inferior to the Balroth Fire Demon; at Soren’s current level, what he pursues is no longer purely melee combat abilities.
Of course.
If a Serpent Demon could advance to become a Legendary Sword Saint, then he would say nothing; that would simply be a nightmare and disaster for the entire Multiverse!
The most terrifying melee combat power that was hypothesized back then.
Is the Super Giant Six-Armed Serpent Demon + Legendary Sword Saint + Multiple Attacks + Multi-Weapon Combat + Qi Slash + Deadly Strike + Legendary Combat Skills + Epic Strength + Weakness Insight + Great Cyclone…
In theory.
Such melee abilities could almost sweep across the entire Multiverse because the physical strength of the Abyss Serpent Demon compensates for the defensive flaws of the Sword Saint, and the Sword Saint’s weakness of not being able to wear armor can also be compensated by wearing wrist guards, rings, bracelets, etc., on its six arms; it is a nearly perfect combination in nearly every aspect, with the only flaw being that it is basically impossible to achieve!
Because the chaotic nature of the Abyss Serpent Demon makes it nearly impossible to walk the path of the Sword Saint’s cultivation.
(Note: The Sword Saint cannot wear armor, but can wear wrist guards and rings. The extra arms of the Six-Armed Serpent Demon are not affected by wearing too many accessories.)
…
The battle is still ongoing.
However, it seems that an unexpected situation has arisen on one side of the battlefield, and the entire situation has become a bit chaotic.
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon seems to have realized something, and its attacks have become more frantic, almost sacrificing for a chance to take down the Fire Demon before it. Soren cannot see the situation on the other side because, in terms of perception or vision, the Coward Demon’s just over one meter height is practically a debilitating flaw; the range of vision is simply insufficient.
This further strengthens Soren’s determination to break through and advance; he must seize the opportunity before him.
The chaos is spreading further.
It seems that enemy reinforcements have arrived, and his own Demon Legion is gradually showing signs of defeat. Soren, unable to see the battlefield due to his limited vision, can only see the retreating Coward Demons on the side; it appears that the Werewolf King – Yenogu’s reinforcements seem to be considerable. This Abyss Lord simultaneously controls both Werewolves and Ghouls, and also has many demons recruited himself. Although his personal strength is not top-tier in the Bottomless Abyss, the scale of the Demon Legion is quite large.
The chaotic nature of demons has already caused the battle to reach an unpredictable situation!
The Bottomless Abyss has never lacked excellent commanders, but what it lacks is enough execution power; some commands are given but completely altered by the time of execution. Many foolish-minded demons either charge forward recklessly or retreat entirely; the weak demons are terrified and timid, while the strong demons directly rush into the enemy ranks. Such was the case in the current situation, where the Frenzied Combat Demon charged into the Werewolf army. The Coward Demons continuously retreated, mixing in with both enemy and ally forces. Everyone seems to be running around wildly.
Because of this, many Abyss Lords have abandoned large-scale armed demons, only relying on cannon fodder to fight; the real elite troops rarely move in the battlefield.
The Fire Demon is suffering increasingly severe injuries!
There are hardly any Coward Demons left standing near Soren. The Frenzied Combat Demon has gradually retreated due to serious injuries, leaving only the Four-Armed Serpent Demon to clash stubbornly with the opponent. Judging from the current situation, the Four-Armed Serpent Demon has a greater chance of victory as the Fire Demon is close to collapsing!
Boom!
A loud explosion sounds from the side.
As if pushed to desperation by the Four-Armed Serpent Demon, the Fire Demon’s body suddenly combusts violently, swelling in size, and fearsome flames rage outward in all directions!
It intends to self-destruct!!!
As the initial form of the Balroth Fire Demon, although the Fire Demon does not possess the ability to “self-explode,” it can self-destruct before dying, taking its enemy down with it.
The Four-Armed Serpent Demon is already gravely injured!
In this situation, if caught in the damage from the explosion, it is essentially doomed.
…
“Now’s the time!”
Soren’s figure darts forward, squeezing out nearly all his potential; at this moment, it is a gamble for his life. If he wins, he could obtain the possibility of advancing to become a [Balroth Fire Demon]. If he loses, this demonic body would be completely destroyed, not only ruining all plans in the Bottomless Abyss, but also severely wounding his original body, plunging him into a long state of spiritual weakness.
When it’s time to fight, one must still fight!
Amid the unbearably scorching flames, Soren directly charges toward the Fire Demon before him; the horrific flames searing his skin. If not for the demon’s innate fire resistance, he would likely be burning alive. The extreme pain stimulates his nerves, and a hint of crimson appears in Soren’s pupils; he wildly swings his dagger and leaps up, directly stabbing toward the top of the Fire Demon’s neck.
Pfft!
The dagger shines coldly, and Soren swiftly follows up with another strike; in this situation, there is no room for retreat.
If the Fire Demon does not d*e, he must!
Even if he misses the hit, there’s no time to escape; the explosive damage would directly obliterate him.
The Coward Demon is simply too weak!
Scalding bl**d bursts out, the Fire Demon’s bl**d resembles lava, igniting Soren’s body; he seems to have fallen into a frenzy, relentlessly stabbing his dagger into the opponent until his body is entirely transformed into a burning fireball!
A surge of searing power emerges.
With the d*ath of the Fire Demon, the imminent self-detonation seems to have suddenly lost all its strength, as waves of fierce flames surge toward Soren’s body.
His body begins to burn!
