“Bang, bang, bang!!”

Countless loud noises rang out at the same time.

Deng Yougang's figure split into countless afterimages in the air, and like shadow clones, he launched a violent attack towards the center.

In comparison, the little elf boy and the magic protective shield covering his body were like duckweed in the rain, drifting back and forth at the hands of the violent wind and rain from the outside world.

"boom!"

Deng Yougang smashed the magic shield with one punch, then kicked the newly formed shield into pieces, and then kicked Mare hard in the chest.

Mare spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as he clenched his staff tightly, and released a new defensive magic.

Careless!

As a magic-related profession, he did not accurately judge the strength of his opponent and rashly launched an attack.

As a result, the opponent showed a warrior ability far beyond his expectations, and launched a torrential attack, forcing him to defend and not having time to release any magic other than defense.

If he had known this, he would never have started a fight so rashly.

Before the battle, a magician should first cast various strengthening spells on himself and detect the enemy's intelligence...

Thinking of this, Mare's face couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

“If I die like this, Ainz-sama will definitely scold me…”

“Crack!”

At this moment, the blue magic shield shattered again, and a fist wrapped in silver armor broke through the layers of barriers and slammed hard into the dark elf boy's face.

“Bang!”

The violent power burst out, the dark elf boy's eyes rolled back, and he completely lost consciousness.

"boom!"

The boy, who was flying at high speed due to various attacks, lost his protection, and his unconscious body fell to the ground. He flipped forward due to inertia, bounced up and down several times like a skipping stone, and then rolled to a stop in the forest.

Deng Yougang flew over quickly and landed next to the unconscious dark elf boy.

“…Is it that simple?”

Deng Yougang looked at the unconscious boy at his feet in surprise, then shook his head and said calmly: "You only train your magic power and not your body. Your mage purity is a bit low!"

"Learn from Gandalf next door. Practicing both magic and martial arts is the right path!"

As he spoke, Deng Yougang took out a silver crystal ball and put the unconscious boy in front of him into it.

This silver crystal ball is a prop issued by the War Command, named [Void Cage].

The space inside it has fixed many dimensional magics and is in eternal spatial confinement. Any creature that enters the cage will not be able to break out as long as the power of space does not exceed Lin Zhongtian's.

The war command prepared one for each member participating in the war, which was specifically used to imprison the main god's soul and powerful opponents.

After collecting the body of the dark elf boy Mare, Deng Yougang bent down, picked up the heavy black staff, and shook it with his hand.

"Wow, good stuff!"

Deng Yougang showed a satisfied smile and immediately put the staff into the storage space.

At this moment, a terrifying magical fluctuation suddenly came from the mansion in the distance.

Deng Yougang raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look, and then turned into a stream of light and rushed back to the manor.

…

…

Not long ago, in the manor, Lu Bu's figure kept flashing on the wavy land.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

After a fierce collision, Lu Bu's figure suddenly accelerated, waving the black halberd through the layers of spider webs, and flashed past Entoma like lightning.

The next moment, black light bloomed all over the sky at the same time.

Entoma's body was covered with numerous bloody wounds, all four limbs were broken, and her combat maid outfit also had numerous large holes, becoming tattered.

It's a pity that under the torn maid outfit was not a white body, but a purple exoskeleton that looked like a humanoid insect.

Countless amounts of mucus-like blood flowed out from the broken wound, and the insect girl Entoma's breath instantly became weak.

"call--"

The Fang Tian Hua Ji in Lu Bu's hand drew an arc, and then he turned around with an indifferent expression, looking at the fallen insect girl and raised the halberd blade.

"That's enough, you man-eating monster!"

“Clang!!”

The halberd blade that was about to chop down was blocked by the sharp and slender spikes.

Lu Bu was startled and jumped back ten meters in an instant.

"……who?"

Lu Bu frowned tightly, looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of the insect girl Entoma.

He was a tall and thin man wearing a red suit and a neat tie. On his slightly narrow face, he wore a black mask with gold patterns, and on both sides of his cheeks, there were long, pointed ears like an elf.

But Lu Bu was very sure that this guy was definitely not an elf.

Because behind him, there is a demon tail that shines with metallic luster.

"Demon?... Interesting!"

A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face, and suddenly a surging black and red aura burst out from his body.

Seeing this, Demiurge, the guardian of the seventh floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, said thoughtfully, "I see. You haven't used your full strength yet? Well, although the intelligence is a little wrong, I still want to ask, could you please stop here?"

"……give up?"

Lü Bu sneered, pointed the black-and-red-flaming Fang Tian Hua Ji at Demiurge, and said disdainfully: "Seeing the strong malice in you, it is really hard for me to stop!"

"Malice?"

Demiurge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on. He bowed politely and said, "I see. I'm sorry to disturb you, but please believe that my ill will is not directed at you, but simply and equally at all lower creatures."

Lu Bu was surprised and asked, "What low-level creature?"

Demiurge said casually, "Of course, all inferior species, including humans."

Lu Bu stared at him in a daze, and then he couldn't help laughing as if he had heard something funny.

Demiurge frowned under his mask and asked politely, "Excuse me, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Lu Bu restrained his smile, looked at him indifferently and said: "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk about ice."

"..." Demiurge understood the contempt in his tone, and his expression under the mask instantly became gloomy, "A mere Heroic Spirit..."

At this moment, the other seven heroic spirits also emerged from all directions, emitting powerful spiritual energy that was no less powerful than Lu Bu's.

Feeling the threat coming from all directions, Demiurge raised his eyebrows and his expression returned to calm.

"...It seems that the intelligence was wrong. I thought the person in charge here was the orichalcum-level adventurer 'Silver Spear', but I didn't expect that there would be eight powerful Heroic Spirits like you."

"Eight to one, this is a bit of a headache. Let me think about it, what should I do?"

As Demiurge's voice was tinged with laughter, several figures appeared on the horizon.

They all wore combat maid outfits similar to those of the insect lady Entoma, held various weapons in their hands, had exquisite and beautiful looks, and looked down at the eight heroic spirits below with indifferent eyes.

It was the battle maid corps from the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

One of the maids was holding three unconscious humans.

If Deng Yougang were here, he would be able to recognize them as the female warrior Geglan of Cang Qiangwei, and the pair of ninja sisters Tia and Tina.

But unfortunately, there are only eight heroes including Lu Bu here now.

They didn't know these three female adventurers at all, and didn't really care about the lives of these barbarians with colorful hair colors.

Noticing the looks of Lu Bu and the others, Demiurge raised his eyebrows and then couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you speak so righteously, but don't you care about human lives?"

The words of attack were mixed with the magical power of dominating spirits and spread out, but they were completely unable to have any effect on these strong-willed heroes.

Wang Yue, the greatest swordsman of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, looked at Demiurge calmly and said, "There is no point in saying more. Gentlemen, please defend the formation for me."

"That won't do. He is a rival of someone else's!"

Lu Bu glared at Wang Yue, and then, as if worried that his opponent would be snatched away, he swung his halberd without hesitation, pointing it at the masked demon in a suit in front of him.

"I am Lü Fengxian from Jiuyuan!"

"Nameless demon, let's fight to the death!"

In an instant, invisible ripples spread out, causing earth-shaking changes in the surrounding environment.

The originally dark night sky turned into a clear day, and the ruins of the manor around him turned into flat land and a majestic pass.

Demiurge frowned, feeling uneasy, and his gaze slowly shifted from the towering pass in front of him to the city gate below.

I saw an unrivaled warrior riding a tall horse slowly walking out of the city gate.

He wore a three-pronged purple gold crown on his head, a Xichuan red cotton robe with flowers on it, a chain mail with a beast mask and a head-swallowing armor on it, a lion-shaped belt around his waist, and rode a red rabbit horse that neighed in the wind. He held a Fang Tian painted halberd in his hand and looked at Demiurge in front of him with a disdainful look.

"Come on, here, no one can interfere with our fight!"

“…”

Demiurge frowned tightly, and suddenly said, "Upper Teleport!"

In an instant, Demiurge's figure twisted, and then appeared clearly in the original place again.

What, I can't teleport?!

Demiurge showed a trace of disbelief on his face, but he immediately forced himself to calm down and quickly analyzed and pondered the information.

Upper teleportation is a seventh-tier magic. Being able to prohibit upper teleportation means that the barrier here is at least eighth-tier or higher. Perhaps it is a fixed eighth-tier space magic [Dimension Blockade]...

"boom!"

The pitch-black halberd came roaring along with the charge of the Red Hare.

Demiurge subconsciously raised his arms, but was still knocked flying by the terrifying impact.

The slender body crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and slammed into the tall city wall behind it.

"Sigh"

Lu Bu pulled the reins to stop, drew an arc with the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand, pointed at Demiurge who was embedded in the city wall, and roared with a slightly angry look on his face.

"How dare you be distracted during a battle? Are you looking down on someone?"

"call!!"

Black and red flames rose up, and Lu Bu's aura surged again, becoming even more powerful.
