Chapter 290: Fire Demon Nemesis
Boom!
The ground shook again, and the people on the ground became more and more uneasy.
"I'm really afraid that the ground will suddenly collapse."
Thorin stood on the city wall and looked at the gate of Erebor, and he felt as if a few more hairs on his head had turned white.
"rest assured."
Bard consoled him, "Our houses here are all built with Levi's magic. Even if the ground collapses, they will still float."
"Is that so? But Erebor is not like that..."
Thorin didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, the terrain here is stable enough.
When the Great Rift collapsed, the first thing to break free from the rocks and crawl out of it was the Fire Demon. It reignited the flames that had been crushed, illuminating this dilapidated underground space.
As soon as it came out, the fire demon looked left and right cautiously, only to find that it was the only one here.
Just as it was about to announce its victory with a loud laugh, there was a snap and a square hole appeared next to it.
The man still climbed up.
"I was almost suffocated."
When Levi dug up vertically using the blocks as a cushion, the Fire Demon looked as if he had seen a ghost.
No, ghosts are not that scary. Even if most of the ghosts really come, they will probably be burned to death before they get close to the Flame Demon.
This person is much scarier than a ghost.
Damn it, who on earth is this person seeking revenge?
Elf lord? No, not an elf, but a human hero.
Seeing that Levi was about to rush over again, the Flame Demon made a decision.
Get out and return to the surface.
There might be an ambush up there, but if you're careful you might still have a chance to escape.
Anywhere is better than staying here and fighting this human. No matter what happens above, staying here will definitely lead to death !
So it spread its wings and crawled and flew towards the only cave entrance.
"Come back here!"
Levi followed closely behind, shouting loudly.
The fire demon kept running in front, using its hard body to hit obstacles on the road. With a sweep of its wings, a large amount of flames gushed out, which not only provided it with acceleration power, but also ignited everything around it.
Whoosh——
The sound of fireworks was heard, and the sound was getting closer and closer until it was behind him. The fire demon suddenly turned around and fought with Levi with a knife. As a result, both of them were bounced back.
At this moment, Levi missed fighting off resistance more and more.
The Dragon Flame Steel Armor allowed him to not lose much blood even after being slashed several times by the Fire Demon and experiencing a rift collapse, but it was not as stable as before. It was both stable and heavy in the physical sense.
In the vast and extremely spacious mine, a man and a fire demon fought again, and the battle lasted until the bridge collapsed, the fences fell down row after row, the lanterns shattered to the ground, and the warm flames inside were replaced by the flames from the fire demon's body.
The elevator cables were burned, the metal parts melted into molten iron, and the mine carts were broken into pieces wherever they passed.
After an unknown amount of time of chasing, the fire finally reached Erebor, went up along the mines, and rushed into where the dwarves were active.
Fortunately, there was no one here and everyone had run out.
Among the complex bridges and buildings of Lonely Mountain, the Fire Demon ran around everywhere, sometimes running to the forge, sometimes crashing into someone's house and overturning that person's stall.
Finally, when it had almost wreaked havoc inside the Lonely Mountain, it found a huge door.
"roar!"
The fire demon roared fiercely behind him while quickening his pace from the bottom of his heart.
It's coming, it's almost there, as long as we get there...
Boom!
The gate of Erebor could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
The Balrog saw the sun as it wished. It raised its head and roared happily, as if celebrating its new life and freedom.
This roar resounded throughout the valley, and everyone in the Valley City felt dizzy and couldn't help but cover their ears.
When it appeared, large amounts of steam rose from the nearby river.
“Here it comes…”
An elderly dwarf shivered as he looked at the billowing black smoke coming out of the gate, then looked at the Balrog standing at the gate, and despair arose in his heart.
It happens again.
Faced with the calamity-like Fire Demon, everyone was so overwhelmed by its momentum that they could hardly breathe and even standing was quite difficult.
"Where's Levi?"
Thorin stood up despite his instinctive fear and stared at the door with deep worry in his eyes.
Could it be...? No, it wouldn't.
Just when everyone's heart was in their throat, the Flame Demon suddenly staggered, as if being pulled back by something.
It grabbed the fishing hook hanging on its back and squeezed it hard, burning the hook and the line together.
“Don’t run!”
A shout frightened the fire demon so much that Li Wei rushed out with his sword, jumped and chopped it to the ground, and it rolled several times before stopping.
Snap! After stabilizing his body, the Flame Demon immediately condensed a long whip of fire and lashed at Levi, but Levi stretched out his hand calmly and let the whip wrap around one of his arms.
The runic shield resists the malicious power of the flaming whip.
The Fire Demon did succeed in entangled Levi, but the same was true in reverse, Levi also controlled the Fire Demon.
He held a flaming whip in one hand and swung a greatsword in the other, stepping forward to fight the fire demon one-on-one.
Whenever the Flame Demon tried to retreat or escape, Levi would forcibly pull him back.
The shield value continued to decrease, and the health of the Fire Demon also dropped rapidly at a disadvantage.
At this moment, the fire demon seemed to suddenly realize something and glanced behind him.
A human city.
He seemed to be the lord of this city? Then an evil smile appeared on his huge head.
There is an 80% chance that I will die here today, but if I die, I have to take some people with me!
It let go of the whip in its hand and rushed towards the Valley City.
"Huh, you want to escape?"
But before Yan Mo and others could take a few steps, Levi suddenly jumped high and chopped them to the ground with a sword.
They competed again.
On the city wall, Bard couldn't help but sweat as he saw the Balrog approaching.
Even though it seemed to be being unilaterally suppressed by Levi and it was struggling to resist, this battle did not seem to be over soon.
As the fire demon was almost about to crash into the city wall, most people had already retreated to the rear, with only a few still standing there watching.
call--
"I finally understand why the dwarves of Moria perished. They were something that mortals could not fight against."
Bud took a deep breath and raised his head as he spoke. When others were still dominated by fear, he was the first to break free and take action immediately.
He picked up Bain, who was bent over by the terrifying aura of the fire demon, like a chicken, forced him to straighten his back, and snatched one of the two long bows from his hand.
"Stand up, Bain!"
Facing his son who had just recovered from his shock, the old father shouted, "Stand up straight and raise your head!"
"The second round of competition has begun."
He gave half of the dragon bone arrow to Bain.
"Levi said to use it when the time is right, and I think now is the right time."
"Father…"
His throat surged, and Bain reached out and picked up the arrows.
It was not known whether it was an illusion or not, but at the moment when the two of them had indirect contact just now, Bain seemed to feel that his father Bud seemed to be trembling slightly.
Archers are very sensitive to vibration.
Boom!
In the dried-up moat, a man and a fire demon were still fighting.
Seeing that the fire demon was getting weaker and weaker, it suddenly spread its wings and was about to fly over the city wall into the city.
"Still thinking of something wrong..."
Levi took out the dragon bone bow.
Just as he was about to draw his arrow and shoot the Balrog down, suddenly, a big hole appeared on the Balrog's left wing. Its attempt to take off failed, and it fell to the ground on the spot.
Levi turned his head and saw a dragon bone arrow stuck in the ground.
The Balrog looked angrily in the direction where the attack came from.
"I got one point!"
Bain on the watchtower shouted excitedly under the angry gaze of the fire demon, his teeth chattering.
Being watched closely by a natural enemy who is many levels higher than you is too exciting.
The stimulation was so great that his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even lift the second arrow.
“Well done!”
Levi gave a thumbs up, immediately switched back to the Dragon Flame Steel Sword, rushed forward and cut off the Fire Demon's other wing, then jumped down and pinned the Fire Demon to the edge of the city wall.
As a last resort, the Fire Demon raised his hand and condensed a giant flaming sword.
The giant sword was as bright as the sun when it was underground, and it was no less bright above the surface, almost suppressing the light emitted by the real sun.
The entire valley darkened, but as Levi also gathered his strength to release a heavy armor-piercing sword skill, the giant flaming sword suddenly dissipated, and bright sunlight returned to the earth.
It’s almost the killing line.
The Fire Demon's health is less than a quarter. If I can give it one more combo...
As he was thinking about it, Levi held the sword in both hands and stabbed it hard at the chest of the fire demon.
But this time the fire demon was not completely defenseless. It shielded its chest with its arms, sacrificing its arms in exchange for a glimmer of hope.
Just as the force of the thrust was exhausted, the Fire Demon breathed a sigh of relief.
There was some movement coming from another direction, and a dragon bone arrow broke through the air, almost brushing Levi's waist and hitting the bottom of the hilt accurately.
The huge force pushed the sword forward, piercing through the fire demon's arm and deep into his chest.
Boom! The fire demon stumbled back, and the flames on his body stagnated.
Levi pulled out the Dragon Flame Steel Sword, and it tilted backwards and fell to the ground with a bang.
The sword stabbed it accurately and it only had one breath left.
If the Balrog could still speak, perhaps it would want to ask at this moment: "Can we reconcile?"
But it's too late.
Levi stood on the body of the fire demon and stabbed downwards again.
To give the final end.
