The strange knocking sounds were approaching like a death warrant. The originally stalemate battlefield was pulled by this inexplicable force, and the sounds of fighting gradually subsided.
The roar of the consciousness of the hell plane rang out in the ears of the seven original seven deadly sins demons at the same time.
With unprecedented anxiety: "Go and stop them quickly! There is something outside the plane, trying to break through the boundary and enter. Quickly, quickly go."
The expressions of the seven figures suddenly changed, and when they looked at each other, they saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Under the guidance of the consciousness of the hell plane, they turned into seven black shadows and instantly landed on the top of the peaks beside the plane passage.
Looking towards the direction where the knocking sound came from, the space there was showing spider-web-like cracks, and every tremor made the entire hell plane hum.
"It can forcibly break through the boundary... at least it's at the star cluster level!" The gluttonous demon's voice was filled with suppressed fear. "Could it be the plane of the gods?"
"impossible."
The arrogant demon snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"How could the mobilization of a main god-level combat force be so silent? Besides, one or two main gods can't even shake the spatial barrier of hell."
"The Light Pillar Plane?" The Envious Demon's voice was filled with doubt. "How could they have such power?"
No one could give an answer, only the increasingly frequent knocking sounds outside the plane were responding.
The consciousness of the hell plane is trying its best to mobilize the power of origin to resist the impact.
The energy that maintained the plane channel began to dissipate rapidly, and the originally stretched channel began to shrink, and the space suddenly became cramped.
The evil gods in the passage suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and had to hastily withdraw with the devil's son and the demons under his command, and instead use a rotation battle to attack in turns.
As a result, the pressure on Lucas and other dragon knights was suddenly reduced.
Lucas made a prompt decision and withdrew the ten dragon knights he brought to the rear to recuperate, and Mander and Lika led the remaining knights to guard the entrance.
He stared vigilantly at the shrinking passage, while listening attentively to the movements coming from the distant mountains - that was the key to determining the outcome of the battle.
The knocking sounds at the space cracks suddenly changed their rhythm. It was no longer an intensive and fierce attack, but turned into steady knocking, each one landing precisely on the weak point of the space barrier.
The seven original demons of the seven deadly sins clearly felt the sudden increase in pressure.
The roar of the consciousness of the hell plane became more rapid, and the space barrier that was originally covered with black fog now emitted a faint red light.
"It's dragon breath!"
The enraged demon clenched his fists violently, his knuckles turning white from the exertion.
"It turns out to be a dragon knight from the Light Pillar Plane. How is this possible?"
The Arrogant Demon frowned. "Never mind the impossible. What should we do now? There are definitely a lot of dragon knights!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in space.
A golden figure swooped in with a fiery dragon breath, and the sharp roar of the dragon rider's spear that cut through the void actually drowned out the roar of the consciousness of the hell plane.
When Betan's dragon lance pierced the last layer of space membrane, the figures of the dragon knights appeared from outside the plane.
Six star cluster-level dragon knights walked in one after another and spread out in a fan shape. The Void Dragon Emperor hovered on the side, and even the surrounding space was fluctuating when the dragon breathed out.
The original seven deadly sins froze in place, staring at the seven figures carrying star-cluster-level pressure, the ferocious expressions on their faces instantly solidified into horror.
The Gluttony Demon subconsciously touched his stomach, a look of disbelief on his face. "A mere intermediate plane, and you're telling me it can give birth to a star-level dragon knight? Six at that?"
The arrogant demon's voice trembled: "How is this possible?"
At this moment, the consciousness of the hell plane was roaring wildly in their minds, urging them to hold on to the death, but the seven pairs of eyes met in the air and the decision had already been made.
"Walk!"
The furious demon was the first to react, transforming into a beam of black light and shooting straight into the void.
The other six sins followed without hesitation, and seven black shadows left long trails in the void.
They didn't even have the courage to look back - they knew that staying would mean death.
The roar of the hell plane consciousness exploded in the void, but it could not stop the seven determined black lights.
Betan raised his hand to signal, and the dragon lance drew complex light patterns in the air, temporarily gluing the broken spatial barrier together. "Leave the repair to the plane consciousness, chase!"
The seven dragon knights disappeared in an instant, leaving only the barrier that had been repaired for the most part and was slowly healing in the hell plane.
The demons and devils below seemed to have their backbones pulled out, and their attacks came to an abrupt halt.
When they discovered that the original seven deadly sins had already escaped without a trace, panic spread instantly.
The demons took out the plane keys and wanted to open the passage to the small plane, but they found that the space seemed to be frozen, and no matter how they mobilized their power, it did not move at all.
"What's going on?!"
A three-headed demon roared and punched the void, but his fist was bounced back fiercely.
He tried his best to communicate with the consciousness of the hell plane, but there was only dead silence in his mind - the plane consciousness that was once omnipresent was now like a puppet with its strings cut, with no response.
Next to the plane channel, Mander looked at the demons running around but hitting a wall everywhere, and suddenly understood something.
The consciousness of the Hell Plane was probably heartbroken by the betrayal of the original seven deadly sins.
Or perhaps they were afraid of the dragon knights outside, so they simply blocked all retreat routes and left these former minions to fend for themselves in despair.
The space barrier in the distance was still glowing faintly. That was the power left behind by Betan and the others.
Mander looked up into the void, as if he could see the dragon knights chasing the Seven Deadly Sins.
Mander withdrew his gaze from the void and looked at Lika. The two walked aside and discussed in a low voice for a moment.
Lika stroked the lines on the hilt and said in a deep voice, "Lord Betan and his men are far more powerful than those fleeing demons. If we chase them, we will surely succeed."
"There's no need for us to rush ahead and take risks. Securing this place is the true expression of your Majesty's loyalty."
Mander nodded in agreement. "That's right. As long as we guard the entrance and wait for Lord Betan and his men to return, this Hell Plane will be inescapable. Rushing deeper might lead to complications."
After making up their minds, the two men no longer hesitated and immediately mobilized their knights to set up a tight defense line at the entrance of the space.
Mander personally guarded the center, his eyes scanning the surrounding darkness like an eagle, and any movement would not escape his detection.
The wind from the Hell plane blew by, carrying the breath of sulfur. The light at the entrance fluctuated slightly, reflecting the resolute faces of the dragon knights.
They did not slack off at all, always keeping their weapons ready to be unsheathed at any time, quietly waiting for the return of Betan and others.
