Chapter 540: Descend! Multicolored Light (II)
Originally focused on commanding, Sheng Lingxin’s expression changed totally upon noticing that immense figure, losing his voice, “The Emo Demon god Sytry! She’s using a forbidden spell.”
Lan Yanyu was standing alongside her husband, “What kind of forbidden spell is that? Have you seen it before?”
Sheng Lingxin’s response was grave, “Sytry is known as the Emo Demon God because she is the master of lust in all demonkind. Her forbidden spell may not be a direct attack, but it’s a lot more terrifying than the direct attacks. It can arouse our most primitive desires: even at my level of cultivation, I am starting to be unable to think clearly, to say nothing about the soldiers.”
Lan Yanyu became anxious, “Then what’s to be done? Is there a way to interrupt her?”
Sheng Lingxin let out a bitter smile, “Haven’t you seen the other five demon gods surrounding her? Their six pillars have also gathered their power. How could it be possible to interrupt that!? We can only leave it to grandfather and the others.”
Lan Yanyu wrinkled her brows, “What if you don’t look at her?”
Sheng Lingxin shook her head, “It’s useless. This is still just the edge of the forbidden spell. And at Sytry’s level of cultivation, if averting your eyes from her was enough to nihilate her forbidden spell’s power, how could she be ranked twelfth among the demon gods?”
Lan Yanyu then asked in puzzlement, “But how is it that I don’t feel anything from it?”
“Females should be immune against her forbidden spells. But our soldiers are males!”
Reaching this point, his look unconsciously shifted to Cai’er in midair, then to Long Haochen who was still motionlessly releasing golden circles of light. Sheng Lingxin faintly came to feel that this battle would relate to the life or death of the Exorcist Mountain Pass. If something went wrong, the Exorcist Mountain Pass may very well go extinct from this world. And at that time, there’s no way the Assassin Temple could preserve itself. He was now considering whether to cover the retreat of Long Haochen and his daughter to preserve at least a bit of the Assassin Temple’s lineage! As her father, he finally started to show personal feelings.
Long Haochen also saw the forbidden spell unleashed by the Emo Demon God Sytry. It immediately startled him. The effects on him were different from Sheng Lingxin as he was inside the Star Domain, and had the assistance from the overflowing light essence as well as his powerful mental force, which made his perception reach frightening heights.
He found out that Sytry’s forbidden spell was like a projection. This forbidden spell’s use was only to produce special spatial waves to project her figure beside the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ fortress. In other words, the demons below won’t be able to see, unless they reach the fortress. Otherwise, they won’t be affected by her forbidden spell.
Long Haochen was now no more than a spectator, watching clearly over this baffling situation. He discovered that after Sytry started to use this forbidden spell, the demon troops’ attack actually became slower. Only the Dual Bladed Demons were still rushing forward with their all, while the other demons of middle and high class clearly slowed down. It’s just that because the Dual Bladed Demons were unceasingly swarming through the fort’s walls, this change was not very noticeable.
Long Haochen immediately came to the conclusion that the Emo Demon God’s forbidden spell was also effective against demons.
Right at this time, a raging inferno suddenly rose from afar, from the demon camp. Wide expanses of flames were ascending, and ignited at least a third of the demon camp, rising and spreading rapidly.
In fact, the chief of the Assassin Temple, Heroic Assassin Sheng Yue, had commanded the powerhouses from the Assassin Temple to stealthily leave the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
Affected by Long Haochen’s opinion and the great results achieved during the eve’s raid, Sheng Yue thoroughly realized what they should do as assassins.
By remaining in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, these powerhouses couldn’t have much usefulness, and could only stand opposite to the enemy. But they were assassins, not mages; and for this reason, even an Heroic Assassin of the ninth step couldn’t launch forbidden spells of large scale. So, they could only serve as ambushers outside the Exorcist Mountain, acting as an extremely sharp blade pointed at the enemy. This would be a far more efficient defense than if they stayed inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
They were the ones who started this huge fire, which also thoroughly emptied the demons’ food reserves.
But Sheng Yue’s expression was extremely grave. He had perceived that Sytry had begun to use a forbidden spell, but from the rear of the demon army, he only saw an Illusory pink figure, and was unable to discern the ability Sytry was using.
As Long Haochen had observed, Sytry’s forbidden spell was indeed no more than a projection of herself on the Exorcist Mountain Pass. This was so that it doesn’t affect the demon army: one won’t be affected unless he’s on the side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
“Heroic assassins, follow me. We will be raiding the high levelled demons from their rear.” Sheng Yue almost had no hesitation giving this order. They couldn’t let Sytry get away with that, otherwise the Exorcist Mountain Pass would be in peril.
Eleven twisted lights faded away in midair. Then he could faintly see that behind the six demon god pillars, the sky had abruptly started to look distorted, imbued with an incomparably sharp killing intent which immediately locked the six demon gods in place.
As if Sytry hadn’t noticed these Heroic Assassins, she just kept chanting her incantation. That materialized figure kept becoming clearer, as if a giant version of her was taking shape in this world.
The influence it had on the Exorcist Mountain Pass kept growing larger, as the eyes of the soldiers were turning red. Thanks to Cai’er’s Slaughter’s Realm, they could hold off the forbidden spell to some extent, but right now, Cai'er's forehead was already covered in sweat.
No matter how powerful a god’s chosen one is, how mighty her Scythe of the God of Death, ultimately, she hit the limits of the seventh step! If Cai’er’s cultivation had attained the ninth step, her Slaughter’s Realm could maybe have even suppressed Sytry’s forbidden spell. But this was out of her current capabilities. Keeping the realm activated was only a desperate measure: if it dissipated, the soldiers below would be even more greatly affected.
Cai’er gritted her teeth, painfully holding on. Right, because she understood the situation, she didn’t dare slack. I have to press on, to keep it lasting as far as possible.
Her eyes fixed onto Long Haochen, on the other side of the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ fortress. She didn’t know what he was doing, but had an unwavering faith in him. He will surely turn the situation around, for sure.
Strident sounds burst from the rear of the six demon god pillars. In midair, an immense spatial crack extending over more than three hundred meters had appeared, extending towards the Emo-demon god Sytry.
That was the act of the eleven Heroic Assassins, a joint attack with a single goal: to stop Sytry’s incantation.
She let out an expression of disdain, as the five other demon god pillars turned towards the same direction, to block the attack for her.
“Bang” An extremely terrible exploding sound was heard, and that immense crack was dispersed. Eleven figures bounced back at the same time, shot several hundreds meters away before stabilizing.
The five demon god pillars were shining with different lights, as they forcibly stopped the eleven assassins’ attacks.
Why would the Temple Alliance value Long Haochen’s ability to destroy demon god pillars so dearly? That’s because for the past six thousand years, humankind hadn’t found any method to destroy a demon god pillar.
Due to them, they had suffered who knows how many terrible losses.
The more demon gods using their pillars there are, the more formidable power they would be able to display, and the more terrifying they would appear. A perfect proof of that was the current situation: the joint defense of five demon gods was enough make eleven Heroic Assassins helpless.
“Chief, what’s to be done?” An assassin was wiping the blood leaking from his mouth, as he asked Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue’s eyes were a bit bloodshot. He knew that in these circumstances, Sytry’s forbidden spell was already unstoppable. It was totally impossible, and this was the situation he was the most unwilling to see appear.
If they were peak powerhouses belonging to the Mage Temple, maybe they could try to use the firepower from their own forbidden spells to face Sytry’s forbidden spell. But in the Temple Alliance, two Temples weren’t able to use forbidden spells much: the Assassin and Warrior Temple. In singular battles, they were more powerful, as their Spiritual Highland mastery and toughness far surpassed the Mage Temple, Spiritual Temple, and Priest Temple. But they had no way to break through the demon god pillars’ blockade.
Sheng Yue’s breathing was noticeably rapid: as the chief of the Assassin Temple, he had already predicted the worst outcomes. Giving a glance to the six demon god pillars, and gritting his teeth, he gave an order that felt extremely painful to issue.
“Kill! While they are focusing on their forbidden spells, we will slaughter their high levelled demons. I want to see whether they can kill our men before we kill theirs.”
This was already the best choice they had. If they’d only had another choice, Sheng Yue wouldn’t give such an order. As things went this way, the other ten assassins’ eyes also turned red.
This order felt extremely difficult for him to issue! His grandson Sheng Lingxin was commanding the battle inside the Exorcist Mountain Pass, while his great-granddaughter was giving her all to withstand the forbidden spell. In case the Emo Demon God’s forbidden spell completes, they will inevitably be the ones bearing the brunt.
“Kill!” The eleven Heroic Assassins shouted madly altogether. Under the shocked watch of the demon gods beyond the Emo Demon God, they turned the same as wild dragons, sweeping their way downwards through the demon armies.
