Chapter 491 Ambushing The Demons From Above
Chapter 491 Ambushing The Demons From Above
"The one on the far left, with the scimitar hanging on his waist." Reign said after trying his best to sense the mana levels of the demons inside the base.
"You sure?"
"He's the only one that I can say for sure is low-leveled, the others are quite good at hiding their mana, but this one is not, maybe it's another trap, but I doubt it." Reign said with certainty as Wolf and the others nodded at him.
"So, long-range attacks, or are we going up close?" Shadow asked.
"Well, since we have managed to get this close to them, I guess close range is better, we can deal more damage to him that way, maybe we can even manage to kill the bastard outright." Reign said as he took his two swords out.
"Gotcha," Shadow said as he twirled his daggers.
They were currently above the base, but contrary to before, they were now standing quite closer to the demons and were not on the peak of the mountain. The top of the mountain was a bit weird, instead of simply going up and becoming narrower and narrower, it actually split at the last 100 meters.
The 100 meters below the peak was actually where the demon base was, it was neatly situated on top of a cliff and was quite hard to attack, whilst being very easy to defend. Reign and the others previously wanted to attack the demons by using their long-range attacks.
The plan was to deal damage to the via stealth attack and destroy the totems as soon as possible before making their way down by sliding down the mountain. This time, however, they decided to simply sell the side of the mountain which allowed them to even jump down to attack their enemies.
It was trickier, and a bit dangerous to simply get on the side of the mountain since they could fall down and there was a chance for the demons to see them, but it was a better position for them since a fall of such magnitude wouldn't hurt them much even if they were to fall on their back.
Reign and the others nodded at each other before jumping. Beast and Laura were the ones in charge of destroying the totems while the rest of them attacked the demon.
They couldn't all attack the bastard as there were six of them when counting in Blackie who had jumped down with them.
Reign, Wolf, Shadow, and Blackie were in charge of hitting the weakest demon, while Greenie and Tank had another target.
They hoped that they would manage to heavily injure the enemy with a stealth attack, but they had no idea if the one the two of them were targeting was powerful or not.
They were attacking a female demon that had a whip hanging on her waist.
By all means and purposes, she should be weak when it comes to defense as she was scantily dressed and had little armor to protect anything other than her vitals. The other demons were all properly equipped and had heavier builds, which pretty much signified that they could take a beating.
Reign and the others jumped and started falling down with great speed.
All of them were channeling mana and preparing to use their skills in order to deal with the demons. Reign was using his [ Severing Light and Darkness since it was a concentrated attack that would cut from above, and would allow the attacks of the others to easily hit the enemy as well.
Shadow and the others all had their skills ready as well, and it was only when they were about 10 meters above the demons that they were spotted.
It was already too late at that point.
Laura and Beast had attacked as well, with their long-range capabilities, they were capable of hitting multiple targets at once and managed to hit half of the totems before anybody had found them out.
It was their attacks that made it possible for Reign and the others to stay hidden for longer since the explosions that occurred occupied the demons for a couple of seconds.
Reign and the others attacked.
Before the demon could even take out his scimitar, he was already hit by Reign and the others.
Four skills were brought down and a huge explosion took place.
As for Tank and Greenie, the two had attacked the female demon with some of their strongest attacks. The ground beneath the demons cracked open before it went down by a couple of centimeters.
Strong winds appeared from the center as the weaker demons were pushed back, even the Tier III demons had to take a couple of steps back as the incredible power behind the attacks had caused quite some damage to the base.
A could of dust had appeared, but it was blown away the moment it formed by the wind.
The demon that Reign and the others had attacked stared at them with wide-open eyes.
He was in shock, disbelief, and in great anger.
He and the others had thought that Reign and his team had fled, only to be attacked a bit later when almost half of them had left the base.
He clenched his sword and tried to lift it up in order to strike Wolf who was right in front of him but was unable to.
Reign's attack made two large cuts on his chest. His armor was unable to defend him against the attack and one could see his bones from the wound.
Shadow had used his daggers and a new skill.
It was called [ The Twin Vipers of Darkness ] and was a skill that he had learned after managing to evolve his ability to rank S.
Just like it was said in the very beginning of the game after he was able to evolve his ability, it changed.
No longer was his ability mere manipulation of shadows, but darkness itself.
The two were similar, but also different.
Darkness meant that there was no light there, it was destruction itself, while shadows were dark figures cast upon a surface after an object or body intercepted light.
Shadows could not exist without light.
His daggers had penetrated through the throat and middle of the demon's chest.
The power behind the daggers was great, but that was not what was dangerous about them.
It was after one was hit that the skill would show its true power.
Darkness could corrode and destroy anything it touches.
It was one of the rarest and most powerful elements that existed as nothing could escape from it.
Upon hitting a target, the daggers would transfer the darkness inside the body.
The darkness would start working inside, corroding the blood, organs, and even the bones. It would make the target weaker and weaker, slowly killing them.
The only way to defend yourself was to use mana in order to suppress the darkness before slowly destroying it. But during battle, that was an incredibly difficult thing to do.
Blackie on the other hand had used his black lightning to shock and paralyze the demon. The attack was a long-range attack, but it worked incredibly for what was about to happen as it made it easy for Shadow to hit the demon, and allowed Wolf to do anything he wanted for the end.
The reason why the demon was unable to lift his sword and strike Wolf was that Wolf's giant sword had penetrated through his chest and stomach.
The powerful flames that Wolf had were now not only golden but had a tinge of purple inside permanently.
That was an effect of the mark that Wolf had. His flames would never become true everlasting flames, as there was much more one needed to do in order to possess them, but they would hold a part of the power the more time passed.
The change occurred after Wolf, just like Shadow, had managed to evolve his ability to rank S.
It didn't completely change like Shadow's, but his flames became more powerful and it was easier to control them.
The mana consumption, however, increased.
Upon realizing how much mana they were spending, they were shocked.
The biggest shock wasn't that, as they were already high-level Tier II beings when they managed to evolve the abilities, but came from Reign.
They had realized that Reign always had such mana consumption, and yet, he was able to fight together with them and seemed to be fine, his mana was never drained quickly.
They knew that he had more mana than them, but it was only then that they realized how big of a difference there existed between them.
Wolf's sword had completely penetrated the heart of the demon, while his flames burned the inside and outside of the body.
It was impossible for the demon to survive.
One enemy was already down.
As for Tank and Greenie, both had expressions of disbelief.
The thin, scantily clad demon had managed to block their attack.
A shield appeared on her wrist, and her body suddenly became larger and larger until she was a full 3 meters tall and full of muscles.
The demoness simply smirked at them as she grabbed her whip before initiating her counter-attack.
