When the members of the Sky City saw the two mid-level Dragon Knights coming to support them, their morale was immediately boosted and their attacks became more and more rapid.
The three middle-level gods also tried their best to force the giant demon hand back.
However, to the surprise of the three middle-level gods, before they could seal the plane channel, a demon's head suddenly squeezed out of the light gate, and its two hands pushed the light gate open, trying to break free.
The angel also arrived riding on a crystal dragon. The crystal dragon opened its mouth and spewed out hot dragon breath like a torrent onto the face of the big devil.
The big demon screamed in agony as it was burned. It was extremely angry and glared fiercely at the angel riding the crystal dragon in the sky. Its strength to break free became even stronger.
At this moment, the incomplete magic circle on the ground suddenly activated. As if drawn by a mysterious force, the dead and fleeing demons were sucked into the incomplete magic circle.
The big demon who was struggling to break free from the restraints seemed to have gained strength from the power absorbed by the magic circle. With a sudden effort, he actually broke free from half of his body, and the terrifying aura of the upper god level instantly emanated.
But at this moment, the magic circle could not bear the burden due to absorbing too much energy, and exploded violently with a "bang".
The explosion of the magic circle made the big demon lose the strength to break free from the constraints of the plane channel, and it was stuck in the light gate.
Seeing this, the mid-level gods immediately ordered all those below the mid-level gods to evacuate through the spatial rift. The great demon, intent on breaking free from the light gate, did not attempt to stop them.
The middle-level gods who stayed behind opened fire at full force, using all kinds of powerful moves like a rainstorm to attack the big demon that only had half a body.
For a moment, divine power surged around the light gate and the light shone brightly.
While fending off the attack, the demon caught sight of the Blood Key dropped not far away. It suddenly thought of using the remaining power of the Blood Key to help it escape.
At the same time, the three middle-level gods hurriedly notified the great elders and others, hoping that they could come to support as soon as possible.
But at this moment they should still be outside the void, fighting fiercely with the void creatures.
Looking at the big demon who was struggling in the light gate and trying to break free, the three middle-level gods made a prompt decision and quickly took out nine artifacts.
I saw that they were very skilled in combining these nine artifacts into a spear.
Then, they gathered all their divine strength and threw it towards the head of the great demon Morocco.
Morocco keenly sensed the fatal threat and hurriedly stretched out his giant hand to slap the spear.
However, what even he himself did not expect was that the spear was so powerful that it actually fixed his arm firmly in the air. No matter how hard he tried, he could not pull it out.
Morocco was shocked and angry, and let out a deafening roar of anger, his voice full of unwillingness and rage.
Seeing that the first divine spear worked, the three old men immediately took out nine identical divine weapons and quickly started a new round of assembly.
Morocco was extremely anxious as he saw that the spear was about to be assembled.
After weighing the pros and cons, he no longer insisted on breaking free from the light gate, and simply let the light gate hold him. He freed his other hand and suddenly grabbed one of the middle-level elder gods.
The locked old man reacted quickly and used his divine power to resist, but the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
With just a "puff" sound, the middle-level god old man was crushed to pieces and turned into a bloody mist.
Betan and the angel tried to stop it, but they were powerless. The power released by the great demon was too strong, and they were simply unable to resist it.
Immediately afterwards, divine power surged in the eyes of the great demon, and the old man who had just assembled the artifact instantly found himself unable to move. The same was true for Betan and others. They were all fixed in the air, as if they were cast under a spell of immobilization.
Morocco was also in a difficult position. He looked at his arm, pinned in the air by the spear, then glanced at the old man, who was about to throw a second divine spear, feeling helpless.
He hadn't expected the other party to use a higher-level divine weapon against him. And now, he couldn't draw on his divine power at all.
Without the protection of the magic circle, the plane channel was in a dangerous situation of spatial cutting. He had to use four-fifths of his divine power to resist the cutting of the plane space.
If his divine power was withdrawn, half of his body would be lost. If he returned to the Hell plane with a severely injured body, those who were watching him would know about it and he would definitely be devoured.
In this way, a strange stalemate was formed at the scene: a big demon was stuck on the light gate, and the five middle-level gods were fixed in the air and unable to move, and neither side could do anything to the other.
At this time, Morocco broke the silence and said, "Let's make a deal. You help me pull out the spear in my hand, and I will immediately retreat to the Hell Plane. How about it?"
The angel riding the crystal dragon refused without hesitation.
The Archdemon had just brutally murdered a mid-level god—the elder stationed within the Light Column. This was an unforgivable crime. Remember, there were only eight mid-level gods in the entire Sky City, and now one had been lost.
It would be a fantasy to let it go back so easily without paying the corresponding price.
The angel made up his mind to wait and see how long the great devil's power could last.
Betan and Eric were a little shaken and wanted to agree to the big devil's proposal.
After all, many demons had just escaped during the chaos, and the situation in the Dragon Ridge Empire was critical. They were worried that if the stalemate continued, the situation would get out of control and cause greater losses.
Martin was concentrating on checking the casualties in Yulong City. Looking at the shocking numbers, he couldn't help rubbing his brows, full of worry.
At this moment, there was a sudden wave in the air, and the Shadow Hunter appeared carrying the elf's corpse.
When Martin saw the Shadow Hunter return, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Amidst all the bad things, there was finally some good news.
The shadow hunter gently placed the elf's corpse on the ground, then knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, thank you for your gift. Through special means, I have extricated this assassin and learned that this unrest was the work of the Queen of the Northern Continent. Your Majesty, would you like me to immediately retrieve the Queen's head?"
Martin was just thinking about how to respond when his communication crystal suddenly lit up.
He picked it up and saw seven or eight messages suddenly appeared in front of him, all of which were emergency reports about demon invasion.
After investigation, it was found that the demons were spreading wildly in all directions with the Holy See of Star Glory as the center.
Although the military had quickly mobilized nearby legions to suppress the demons, there were many powerful demons at the demigod and even domain level among them. The legions suffered heavy casualties in the battle with them.
What is even more troublesome is that the Empire's dragon knights are currently completely out of contact, and the war at the front is urgent. We can only hope that His Majesty will send dragon knights to support us as soon as possible.
