Chapter 42 Quickly Transmigrate! Conquer the Handsome Demon King (48)
The Garuda, the legendary ferocious beast from the demon world, now stands alive before us, its gigantic wings blocking out the sky and casting a huge shadow, as if the end of the world has come.
Its scarlet eyes stared at us, and its sharp beak opened and closed, making a chilling cry.
The demonized creatures around seemed to have received some kind of instructions, roaring restlessly, and their green eyes flickered in the dimness, as creepy as will-o'-the-wisp.
I hugged the unconscious Liang Xu tightly, cold sweat oozing from my palms and my clothes on my back were already soaked with sweat.
The wind blew so hard that I couldn't open my eyes.
I felt Liang Xu's body trembling slightly in my arms, and his breathing became weaker and weaker, as if it would stop at any time.
The golden-winged giant crane moved. It flapped its huge wings, stirring up sand and rocks all over the sky. The sand and rocks flew everywhere, and I could hardly stand steadily.
I quickly used my luck to protect Liang Xu, and used my back to withstand the strong wind.
"Liang Xu, you must hold on!" I whispered in his ear, my voice trembling.
The golden-winged crane attacked again. Its sharp claws came at me like lightning. I barely dodged it, but its claws left a bloody mark on my cheek. The burning pain sobered me up a little.
Liang Xu groaned, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
My heart aches, but I can do nothing.
"Roar——" The golden-winged giant crane let out a deafening roar, and the demonized creatures around it also roared, the sound made my eardrums hurt.
Liang Xu opened his eyes with difficulty and raised his hands weakly, trying to gather his magic power.
I quickly held his hand and slowly transferred my spiritual power to him.
"Don't... waste your energy..." He uttered a few words with difficulty, "It's useless..."
"No, we can definitely..." Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by another attack from the Golden-winged Peng.
This time, it did not use its claws, but opened its huge beak and spurted out a stream of black flames.
I quickly hugged Liang Xu and dodged. The flames brushed past my arm and the burning pain made me gasp for air.
I looked down and saw that the clothes on my arm had been burnt, revealing a bloody wound.
Liang Xu's face turned even paler, and his breathing became weaker and weaker, as if he would...
etc!
I suddenly noticed that when the Garuda was attacking, underneath its huge wings, it seemed...
There is a place with a different color...
"Liang Xu, its wings..." I looked at the golden-winged crane again. Every time it flapped its wings, the slightly darker area became faintly visible.
That's not the color of the feathers, it's more like...
A gathering point of some kind of power?
"There... seems to be something wrong." I tried to keep my voice calm, but the excitement in my heart was hard to suppress.
Liang Xu raised his head with great effort and looked in the direction I was looking.
"It's... the source of magic... its power core..."
"The source of the devil?" I repeated this unfamiliar word, a glimmer of hope rising in my heart.
Perhaps, this is our only chance!
"It's... protecting itself..." Liang Xu's voice became weaker and weaker, but his tone was determined, "... we must... destroy it..."
I nodded and took a deep breath, trying to calm my pounding heart.
"Can you hold on?"
"...I...will try..." Liang Xu tried hard to gather his magic power, but his body was shaking uncontrollably like a candle in the wind.
"Listen to me!" I quickly made a plan in my mind, "I'll attract its attention, and you concentrate your strength on attacking the source of the magic, okay?"
Liang Xu responded with difficulty, "...Okay..."
I carefully placed Liang Xu on the ground and stood up with all my strength.
I knew this might be our last chance.
I gathered the little spiritual energy left in my body into my hands and rushed towards the golden-winged giant crane.
"Beast, your opponent is me!" I roared, and the spiritual power in my hand turned into a blade of light, hitting the golden-winged giant bird directly.
The Garuda seemed to be angered by my provocation. It made a shrill cry, flapped its wings, and stirred up a strong hurricane.
I gritted my teeth, endured the strong wind, and dodged its attack with difficulty.
Its sharp claws slashed past me again and again, bringing up gusts of wind like the sickle of death.
Just as I was dodging, Liang Xu finally gathered a bit of magic power. He growled, and a ray of black magic light shot out from his hand, heading straight for the magic source under the wings of the golden-winged giant crane.
"Bang——"
With a loud bang, the magic light hit the target accurately.
The golden-winged giant crane let out a scream that shook the earth, and its huge body swayed in the air, about to fall, like a huge rock that had lost its support.
We did it!
I was filled with joy, but the happiness did not last long. Garuda's next reaction was beyond my expectations.
It flapped its wings madly like an enraged beast, and the air around it seemed to be torn apart.
An extremely powerful dark force emanated from its body, instantly enveloping us.
Everything was pitch black in front of my eyes. I couldn't see anything. I could only hear the violent roar of the golden-winged crane and Liang Xu's painful groans.
I tried to grab Liang Xu, but the darkness was like an invisible hand that separated us and made us lost in the darkness.
Just when I was about to despair, a faint light appeared in the darkness.
Although the light was faint, it dispelled the surrounding darkness and brought a glimmer of hope.
I followed the light and saw it was Liang Xu!
The thing emitting a faint light in front of him was exactly the holy object from the demon world!
"... cough cough..." Liang Xu's cough was particularly clear in the silent space. He spoke weakly, "... I... can still... fight..."
Just as I was about to speak, darkness came again, but this time I knew it wasn't real darkness...
The darkness faded and I found we were in a strange space.
There is a transparent crystal ground beneath your feet, and you can clearly see the demonic energy surging below.
Overhead was a swirling nebula, flashing with eerie light.
The Garuda was not far from us; its breath was noticeably weaker and its feathers had lost their luster.
"Take advantage of now!" I growled, and attacked at the same time as Liang Xu.
I poured all the remaining spiritual energy in my body into the long sword in my hand. The sword emitted a dazzling white light, as if it wanted to split the entire space in half.
Liang Xu controlled the demonic energy, transforming it into countless black blades that attacked the Golden-winged Peng like a rainstorm.
The Garuda let out a miserable cry. It struggled desperately but was powerless to resist our combined attack.
Its body gradually disintegrated, turning into specks of black light, and finally dissipated in this strange space.
The joy of victory came like a tide, and I staggered to Liang Xu's side. His face was pale and there was blood at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were unusually bright.
We smiled at each other and hugged each other tightly.
"We... did it..." Liang Xu's voice was a little hoarse, but full of tenderness.
I nodded and buried my head in his shoulder, feeling his warm body temperature.
At this moment, the danger around us seemed to disappear, and only our breathing and heartbeats were left.
"Finally... I can stop the demonization..." I took a deep breath and prepared to take out the items to stop the demonization.
However, at this moment, I felt a strange energy wave.
I raised my head and found that the demonic energy around us began to gather crazily, forming a huge vortex that surrounded us in the center.
"What's going on?" I felt an uneasy premonition in my heart.
Liang Xu also noticed something was wrong. His face suddenly changed. He grabbed my hand and whispered, "Oh no! We've been tricked!"
"What?" Before I could react, I felt a strong suction force pulling us towards the center of the vortex.
"Feng Ziang'er, be careful!" Liang Xu shouted and held me tightly in his arms.
I felt dizzy and everything in front of me became blurry.
Just when I was about to lose consciousness, I heard Liang Xu whisper in my ear:
"Remember... no matter what happens... I will..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and I fell into endless darkness...
