Chapter 69: Archenemy!
Another mid-level demon fell under Soren’s sword.
As a surge of demon power emerged, the demon tattoos on Soren’s body underwent a slight change, and a strange rune seemed to appear on his strong arm.
At the same time, new data notifications emerged:
“Killed mid-level Furo Demon!…
Extracting target’s demon bloodline!…
You gained 24 points of Demon Power!… Current physical form cannot absorb Soul Energy!… Soul Energy Transformed!… Feedback of 1050 points Killing Experience to the body!…
“Ability Enhanced!… Biological Level increased to Level 13!…
“Demon Bloodline Activated!…
“Self underwent advanced mutation!… [Fire Demon] form gained ability enhancement!…

“You have comprehended spell-like ability [Burning Hands]!…
“You have mastered Talent Specialty [Exotic Weapon Mastery: Whip]!…
“You have mastered Talent Specialty [Weapon Mastery: Longsword]!…
………………
New spell-like abilities.
Soren’s cool figure reappeared on the city wall, but this time he directly threw out a large fireball, which exploded in the crowd; it’s unclear how many unfortunate souls were killed—both sides lost quite a few since many were already severely injured at the start, and the Fireball Spell itself has a considerable area of effect.
At this moment, Soren’s attributes changed to:

………………
Advanced [Fire Demon] form.
Soren’s greatest enhancement was an overall improvement in attributes and increasing vitality, as well as mastering the ability of Flame Whip.
Moreover, the damage dealt by his Fire Body also increased by 5 points.
Since he belongs to a monster template, Soren, despite having 20 points of Strength and Constitution, cannot exhibit corresponding supernatural capabilities as these abilities are integrated into the Demon Bloodline. In fact, his explosive strength, reaction speed, and recovery abilities have all improved quite significantly!
The power of the Coward Demon form has been retained.
Soren’s Demon Claw is still considered a +1 Natural Magic Weapon, but he is more accustomed to fighting with weapons.
At this moment.
The battle within the Iron Fortress has fallen into a stalemate.
If there is no outside interference, then it will turn into a war of attrition. If it continues, the number of casualties on both sides may reach half, as it is common for demons to fight continuously for a day and night. The Succubus Legion can still hold their ground for now, but the enemy’s numbers clearly hold an advantage. Without reinforcements, it could lead to heavy losses in a war of attrition.
Soren constantly keeps an eye on the enemies around him.
On one hand, he conserved energy; on the other hand, he searched for injured enemies to finish off. In case powerful demons appeared nearby, he would quickly deactivate his Fire Body ability and blend into the crowd.
Anyone who charged in would have to die, as he had three allied Soul Judges and a Tempt nearby.
Soren looked quite conspicuous.
Other allied high-level demons naturally noticed him; since he was an ally, they certainly didn’t want him to die easily. The Succubus officer occasionally paid attention and redirected troops to reinforce the walls where Soren was.
Corpses littered the ground.
Injured ghouls would occasionally retreat to eat and recover, caring not whether the corpses were enemy or ally; they just focused on eating.
The cruelty of the Bottomless Abyss was on full display on the battlefield!
Soren’s injuries were worsening; no matter how skilled he was or how careful, there were still too many enemies in front of him.
One careless moment would lead to a hit or two!
Boom, boom, boom.
Just as one of the walls of the Iron Fortress was about to fall under the furious attack of the werewolves, a dull sound of war drums suddenly rang from behind the enemy.
“Reinforcements?!”
Soren looked in surprise toward the distance. But soon, he furrowed his brows in confusion.
It was not reinforcements from the Succubus Legion, but a group of creatures that surprised Soren greatly—Minotaurs!
Abyssal Minotaurs.
These tall and robust Minotaurs, wielding battle axes, heavy hammers, and totem poles, charged straight into the back of the werewolf army like a burning black iron rod. They forcefully pierced into the rears of the werewolves, making them howl in pain. The Minotaurs’ equipment is quite good; although they don’t wear full armor, their weapons are of excellent quality, and combined with their towering stature and innate strength, they easily shattered the werewolf army’s backlines.
However, they didn’t seem intent on supporting the Succubus Legion but rather aimed to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible!
“Minotaur King—Baphomet?!”
Soren suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead; this group of Minotaurs was undoubtedly the subordinates of the Minotaur King—Baphomet, who was a Demon Lord of the 600th layer of the Bottomless Abyss and the archenemy of the Werewolf King—Yenogu. The two biggest enemies of Werewolf King—Yenogu are Succubus Queen—Mikanxute and Minotaur King—Baphomet.
The enemy of my enemy is my ally!
The appearance of the Minotaur army seems intended to deal a devastating blow to the Werewolf King; with such overwhelming momentum, they will likely soon break through the enemy ranks behind.
The Abyssal Minotaurs are towering figures with a natural advantage in strength!
When these well-equipped Minotaur warriors launched their attack, it was like the earth shook and mountains moved; many low-level demons were scared into fleeing just by their momentum, while ordinary ghouls and werewolves could hardly withstand a few blows from them. At the forefront, the brawny Minotaur chieftain wielded a heavy massive battle axe, creating a scene of severed limbs and broken arms as he swung it around. If it weren’t for the absence of a Demon Lord’s aura, Soren would suspect that the Minotaur King himself had descended.
The Abyssal Minotaurs possess terrifying abilities like Terrifying Strike, Break Weapon, Break Shield, Ferocious Charge, and Powerful Strike!
They might not have a high biological level, but their challenge difficulty is very high.
In Soren’s view, a small squad of heavily armored Minotaur warriors suddenly roared and aimed their thick horns at the enemies, then with a thunderous charge directly crashed into the enemy, instantly toppling them over. These Minotaur warriors are exceptionally ferocious, with some breaking their own horns without care, continuing to swing their battle axes and crazily slaughtering!
The Werewolf army is done for.
In this pincer attack situation, they simply cannot hold out for long.
Sure enough!
The Succubus commander quickly issued orders for a counterattack, with more than ten Demon Spiders clearing the way, seven or eight Tempts breaking through the formation, and five or six Soul Judges providing cover.
The most elite mid-to-high-level demons of the Succubus Legion surged forth, directly counterattacking like a sharp knife penetrating the enemy’s interior!
The collapse of the Werewolf army is inevitable.
Soren unhesitatingly activated his Fire Body once more, flanking with a group of low-level demons, and in this moment of beating a drowning dog, his low-level demons surged forward, howling.
