Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1056: Shadow Demon Night Strike

When Alan heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately jumped up and sat up. He didn't sleep soundly, he just closed his eyes and slept, his armor, and Red King at hand. Edward's voice came from outside the door. "We have a guest."

A late-night visit is not a kind guest.

When Alan went out with his knife, Edward made a gesture and the two of them came to the barn near the wooden house. The horses in the barn were very uneasy. Fortunately, their mouths were covered by horse covers, so they did not shout out loudly. A warrior was comforting the horses. Allen and the others passed through the horse bars and hid behind the manger. Edward pointed in the direction of the mine gate, and Alan looked up from behind the manger with half his head exposed.

The night was dark and the starlight dimmed. However, with Allen's current strength, every weak ray of light could be used to amplify. As the Heavenly Fire Origin Energy rumbled in his body, Alan's eyes flushed, and the world in his line of sight gradually brightened. He saw dark shadows on the cliff in the direction of the gate. Some long-legged humanoid creatures were quietly climbing over the mountain peak and quietly climbing towards the bottom of the mine.

Allen's gaze fell on one of them, and he could see that these fellows had light gray skin and no hair. They were thin and bony under their skin, especially their spines that were almost bulging out, leaving clear lines of joints on the surface of their skin. Their palms and feet were disproportionately large and long, especially their palms, which were simply claws. Black curved fingernails clung to everything they could catch like hooks, creatures with rags tied around their waist crawled down like a pack of geckos.

Shadow Demon!

Alan looked at Edward when he thought of the name that Ian used to say. The latter nodded and said, "We discovered them ten minutes ago, but these fellows are not in a hurry to attack, they seem to be waiting for something."

"Prepare our men. Fares will know what to do." Alan gestured for Edward to leave first, while he stayed here to observe.

The wooden cottage in the mine looked very quiet, but in reality, it was loose outside and tight inside. Under Fares' arrangement, the ordinary members of the caravan were gathered in a spacious room on the second floor of the wooden house. The Inch Fire Archers were distributed near the windows on the second floor, occupying a favorable firing position. Stay here, Adele and Lucy, they will be the firepower nodes that will support the Inch Fire Sagittarius. josei

The Mountain King Warriors and the other soldiers were prepared downstairs. The guns they bought in Sardinia were equipped by the infantry soldiers. At the same time, each of them was given a large killing weapon such as the Nitrocellulose Flame Lightning. Regis, Laura and Green Dragon Knight will be important supporters of the ground defence. As for Fares, he assumed overall command.

The Shadow Demon was waiting, and the humans were also waiting. The atmosphere in the mine became more and more tense.

Alan narrowed his eyes. He saw a new Shadow Demon appear on the mountain peak. These Shadow Devils were relatively petite, and their skin was black. They wore crude armor, and their armor had a variety of styles. They did not look like they were made by the Shadow Devils themselves, but rather, they were spoils of war. These Shadow Devils even carried swords and knives, and knew how to use armor and swords. Without a doubt, their intelligence was far superior to their peers.

There were only a dozen or so new Black Shadow Devils. They first gathered together, as if they were talking about something, and then suddenly dispersed. When they started to climb down, the speed of the other Shadow Devils suddenly increased, like an army charging forward.

Alan knew that the Shadow Demon's attack was at the same time.

Just as he was about to give a warning, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded from outside the mine gate. Then, half of the door was shattered, and even the doorframes on both sides fell to the ground with moans. In the dark night, a gigantic figure crashed into the mine. It had a very strong body and was over three meters tall. However, he could still tell that he was a close relative of the Shadow Demon. Similarly, his skin was stone-gray, and his body was smooth and hairy. He was surrounded by a broken animal hide at his waist. He held a thick tree trunk in his hand and rushed straight towards the wooden house.

Once it hits, the wooden house will fall apart.

Alan didn't hesitate any longer and his aura soared into the sky. At the same time, the bonfires in front of the wooden house soared into the sky. Under the influence of the Fire Sovereign, they illuminated more than half of the mine and illuminated the figures of the troll and the large number of Shadow Demons on the cliff. The Shadow Demon did not like the light. When it was illuminated by the fire, the Grey Shadow Demon on the cliff creaked and retreated upwards, creating quite a bit of chaos. Some of its peers were even squeezed down.

The troll's momentum was also stifled. At this moment, Alan had already flashed to its side. Red King drew his sheath and two vermilion arcs lit up under the night. The troll's elephant-like thick feet were cut off by Alan's two slashes. The troll shrieked and fell down, rolling out of the tree trunk in its hand. Ellen jumped onto its back, the long saber penetrated into its back neck, pulled it horizontally, and cut off the troll's neck, stopping the troll from struggling.

The Black Shadow Demon on the cliff let out a shrill cry. Only then did the grey demons manage to suppress their fear of the flames and pour down like flowing water. The grey stream rushed straight towards the wooden hut and turned towards Alan.

On the second floor of the wooden house, Lucy saw that the Gray Shadow Demon had already entered the range of the Fire Fighting Rifle. She raised her hand and waved it heavily, "Fire!"

The Inch Fire Shooter immediately poked out his rifle from the window, and the rough sound of the rifle rang out in the mine. A rain of fire sprinkled down, and the Shadow Demons in the front row immediately collapsed. The Inch Fire Sagittarius was free to shoot, and the enormous power of the Flame Fighting Rifle had suppressed the Gray Shadow Demon to the point that it had to use a corpse to fill every step it took. What frightened the Shadow Demon was that the fire from the Fierce Fire Rifle did not stop at all. The firepower remained saturated, and in a moment, the grey torrent had already cut one-third of the firepower net.

The Black Shadow Demon mixed in the gray stream screamed. One of the Black Shadow Demons jumped onto the second floor of the wooden house, wanting to attack the human archer's position. Unexpectedly, the Black Shadow Demon's head suddenly exploded in midair, and then a louder gunshot sounded. The sound of the gun even surpassed the sound of the menacing flame rifle.

Adele snorted and reloaded, shooting at the other Black Devil in the gray stream.

At this moment, the roars of the men resounded in the wooden house. The Mountain King warriors raised their shields and rushed out first. Behind them were infantry soldiers with muskets in their hands. Under Fares' orders, the infantry fired, killing the grey shadow demons that had rushed out of the Inch Fire Archers' firepower net. However, the firearms weren't as powerful as the menacing flame rifles, and the Shadow Demon moved like the wind, making it very difficult for the firearms to kill them in one shot.

The wave of gray streams finally caught sight of the Mountain King Warrior setting up a shield wall to brazenly face him. Under the strong collision between the Shadow Demons and humans, countless grey waves splashed out from the torrent. One by one, the Grey Shadow Demons were knocked flying backwards, smashing into their fellow humans, causing small chaos one by one. The Mountain King Warriors set up an arc formation to block the Gray Shadow Demon from the outside, while Regges and the others crossed the line of defense and charged into the grey stream to start their slaughter. For a time, the Gray Shadow Demon was killed by a few experts, causing them to fall backwards.

On the other side, Alan smiled as he looked at a grey stream pouncing towards him. He jumped off the troll and dodged to the side of the tree trunk. Raising his foot, Alan's body flashed with flame marks. The tree trunk ignited spontaneously and smashed into the ash stream. Instantly, a dozen or so Gray Shadow Devils were overwhelmed. The fire on the tree trunk burned them to the point that they cried out loudly. Alan raised Red King, pointed the blade with his forehead, leaned forward, and disappeared. At the same time, Alan flashed in the Shadow Demon Array. The Shadow Demons were stunned. At this moment, the Ouroboros tossed the Shadow Demons into the air. Then, their bodies were torn apart, as if they had been brushed past by an invisible blade.

As the rain of blood flew, Red King spat out explosive flames, and the black and red flame clouds surged around the Shadow Demon like a banner. Wherever the fire clouds passed, the Shadow Demon continued to fall.

Killing sounds could be heard everywhere in the mine.

When Alan finished off the last Shadow Demon in the squad, he took a deep breath. Flame patterns appeared, and fire rose around Alan's body. Heat waves surged, almost like a furnace. He waved his wrist horizontally and the blade pulled out a thin ray of light. When the light left the blade, it continued to extend to both sides. When it reached a width of ten meters, it stopped. This ten-meter-wide scarlet light illuminated the mine and instantly submerged into the flood of Shadow Devils. Like a current of water, it silently passed through many Shadow Devils and disappeared on the other side of the mine.

Suddenly, the mine was quiet. The Shadow Demons that were flashed by the light fell down like a piece of straw that had been cut off from their waist. Instantly, a half-meter wide blank passage was cleared out in the ash stream!

The gray flow of the Shadow Demon was split apart by Alan's saber strike, and the horror of a large number of its kind dying in an instant finally overwhelmed the viciousness of the Shadow Demon. Under the shrieks of the remaining Black Shadow Demons, the gray streams dispersed. They naturally bypassed Allen, the God of Slaughter. Some of them retreated towards the entrance of the mine, while the rest climbed up the cliff. After a few minutes, they walked cleanly, leaving behind only a corpse in the mine.

The next day, when Ian saw the mountain of Shadow Demon corpses piled up, he looked at Alan with sincere reverence. In last night's battle, the Shadow Demon had left nearly two hundred corpses behind, while the warriors on Allen's side had only survived. Such a disparity shocked Ian to the extreme. At this moment, Ellen was no different from the reincarnation of the War God in the eyes of the old man. At this moment, the Shadow Demon Corpse Mountain burned, and Ellen also ordered the troops to leave the mine.

Last night's battle seemed to be easy, but in fact, if it wasn't for the limited space in the mine that prevented the Shadow Demon race from gathering an army to attack, then it wouldn't have been so easy to fight. This was why he couldn't stay in the Shadow Land for a long time. Moreover, there weren't many rifle bullets left in the battles of all sizes. Alan didn't want to waste them on the Shadow Demon.

Very quickly, the caravan left the mine. Father Ian found a new water vein. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he led the team to the Arkabe Corridor. After the people left, only the corpses of the Shadow Demons in the mine were burned to the point of sizzling. A silhouette quietly appeared on the cliff to the left of the mine. It was a scarlet-skinned Shadow Demon. Its body was painted with some sort of totem-like pattern. The Red Demon looked at the burning corpse hill and angrily opened its mouth to let out a series of long howls into the sky.

Screams echoed in every corner of the Land of Shadows.
