Chapter 216 A Demon in Human Skin



"roar!"

In the dim shadows, three desert worms stirred up a sandstorm-like gust of wind, their gaping maws covered in cracked teeth, their bodies shrouded in a violent aura, and in an instant they pounced on the fleeing soldiers!

The twenty-meter-long body suddenly shot out, its taut muscles unleashing a powerful burst of force, making its bite capable of shattering metal and stone. Even the finest shield could not withstand this heavy and fierce attack!

"A silver-tier desert worm!"

Sir Heber was shocked. Even with the strongest armed force under his command, the Black Panther Army, fearless and undaunted, the best outcome against such a ferocious demonic insect was merely to fight to the death of a desert worm.

Not to mention three of them. These demonic insects have an extremely high level of control over their aura and often attack first by surprise. If a professional of the same level is careless, they can easily be ambushed and killed, becoming food for the desert worms.

But before he could lead the Black Panther Army into the defensive line, a bright light illuminated the void, and a magnificent and sacred radiance condensed into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky and pierced through the heavens!

Even the murky twilight could not conceal the power of the holy light. The endless holy light condensed into a giant sword, which ruthlessly pierced through the twilight, exploded, and shattered a small piece of the twilight night, forming a shock wave that could be seen with the naked eye and spread outwards!

Immediately afterwards, a temple materialized in the void, accompanied by the sacred chanting of sages. The gods responded to the call and bestowed blessings imbued with special power.

"roar!"

A ball of bright red flames condensed into a roaring fist, aimed at the face of a desert worm from the side, and swung down fiercely!

"boom!"

As the two collided, the blazing fire dissipated, and the desert worm that had pounced on it was slammed away by the solid fist, its face burning with shards of fire, letting out a shrill scream!

For demonic insects, the flames of demonic fire are no less than being splashed with a large bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid, corroding their skin, burning their flesh, and bringing them pain and torment!

At the same time, the other two desert worms were held back by the tall knights, while an assassin clad in shadow armor appeared in the void, flashing three clones. With a thunderous strike brewing, he took a step and flew up, striking the head of a desert worm as if three bolts of lightning were falling, slamming into the hard flesh and penetrating the wound more than a foot deep!

What's even more shocking is that the previously defeated soldiers suddenly raised their heads, grabbed the weapons hidden on their bodies, aimed at the desert worms that had been knocked away, their whole bodies trembled, their eyes were like those of wolves, and they fearlessly pounced on them!

With Xiao Han's 20% boost to all attributes, everyone gained the Knight class bonus, giving even the weakest a Silver Tier 1 combat power.

The group charged forward like a death horde. Spears pierced through small pieces of flesh, swords left mottled wounds, and crossbow bolts pierced the wounds. Even the mages were filled with a violent conviction, grabbing their fine iron staffs and smashing them down. The desert worms had no power to resist and were brutally beaten down by these fifty-odd silver-level professionals!

Even if a large number of abyssal demonic insects surged out of the excavated hole, they were all blown away by the amethyst lightning thrown by Black Crow!

Or perhaps a professional, blinded by greed, can take them down one by one, as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!

"Kill these sons of bitches!"

"Scum!"

"Glady, you little bastard!"

Gladys, who was finishing off the attacker, was thinking: "???"

Amidst the roars, frenzy, and howls of the crowd, the three-headed desert worm let out a mournful howl in the twilight, then tore into several pieces and was dismembered by the crowd, leaving no trace of its body!

With the attitude of liberating the enemy, the little fox, while maintaining the [Holy Enhancement] spell, secretly stabbed the desert worm a few times. Unable to bear seeing the dead demons lying dead in the wilderness, she unleashed a burst of demonic flames and burned the pile of corpses that had formed a small mountain.

"Squeak!"

The fire raged fiercely, the demonic insects containing rich oils, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating the cruel and ferocious faces of the group. This horrifying scene around the bonfire startled the professionals guarding the south city.

"Which side is this...? A demon army?"

"It seems to belong to our side... but why is it even more ferocious than the demons?"

"Should we let them in? I'm a little scared, a little panicked..."

The professional with the crossbow mounted on the rampart trembled as he watched the gruesome scene of the desert worm being dismembered and set on fire before leaving, feeling utterly horrified.

What's frightening isn't their ferocious fighting power, but their ruthless determination to crush the enemy with bloodshot eyes!

Moreover, how long did it take to shred the three-headed desert worm?

Is there even a minute?!

The thought of this made the guards tremble with fear. One of the more imaginative professionals even suspected that this was a group of demons in human skin who had taken the opportunity to infiltrate the southern city and slaughter civilians!

Meanwhile, Sir Heber, who witnessed this scene, froze, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.

This is a ruthless force; never provoke them!

"Sir, they..."

The guards around him realized what was happening and asked Sir Heber what was going on.

The officer glanced back at their biggest trump card of the trip, the Black Panther Army. Despite being hundreds of meters away, they trembled like wildcats under the oppressive aura of the more than fifty silver-rank professionals.

Without a doubt, they were valiant warriors, and the Black Panthers were known throughout the Nordic region for their almost masochistic ruthlessness.

But this enormous disparity stirred up one of their few most primal fears.

"Never provoke them..."

Sir Heber offered a warning, his expression quite wary.

"The little fox's prestige has increased again."

On the other hand, Minise's deep gaze fell on the little fox's growing power, and she pondered for a moment.

Through the previous magical letters, she learned about the little fox's entire process. The weak always submit to the strong, especially under the powerful oppression of the demons. The professionals who were saved on the front line were bound to be grateful and eagerly became the little fox's subordinates, seeking a sense of security.

This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

The little fox's rise was too rapid. As she grew stronger and more prestigious, her control weakened once again. The title of "Minise's number one lackey" may not be well-deserved.

"Da da da..."

After the troops dealt with the ambush by the demonic insects, they returned to their previous state of defeat. Against the backdrop of a bonfire of burning insect bodies, they slowly marched toward the southern city defense line, making the garrison feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

After all, the little fox leading the troops was wearing a silver lion helmet and had long, cherry-gold ponytail hair; it would be a miracle if anyone recognized her.

Following closely behind were a group of high-level combatants including Blood Raven, Black Raven, Hammer, and Mike, and then various high-ranking members of the city management.

"President, how about..."

Just as Sir Heber, the leader of the Black Panther Army, was about to have Minise verify the identities of the group, the girl beside him gracefully walked towards the army.
