A demigod-level dark serpent-man followed closely behind him. This was a powerful serpent-man at the late stage of the seventh rank, and he had not suffered much damage even after withstanding the hidden magic trap.
Fortunately, Noah, having been a lich and a mage, like Lynn, possesses a wealth of knowledge and combat experience, enabling him to handle any unexpected situation.
The moment the magic trap was triggered, he also activated a teleportation spell and fled. Although he was being chased by the dark snake-men, he did not panic at all and was able to throw out some small spells from time to time to interfere with them, showing that he was in complete control.
However, this also meant that Noah could no longer assist others, and the hidden threat was exposed and ceased to be a threat.
Fortunately, Zhulong's opponent had been defeated again, and Ye Chen's side still held the advantage in the demigod-level battle. Instead of helping the mecha, Zhulong flew towards Noah's side again.
Those two mechs were already at their limit in holding back the snake-man demigod. Even if Zhulong got there, it would be difficult for the two of them to cooperate in killing him in a short time. Rather than that, it would be better to work with Noah to take down this toughest nut first, and the subsequent battles would become much easier.
"Roar~~" The arrival of Zhulong startled the snake-man. He originally thought that the other party would go to the other side first, but he did not expect that it would come directly to him.
Having remained hidden in the shadows for a long time, he had been keeping a close eye on Zhulong's strength. Although the opponent was only at the initial stage of the seventh rank, he was incredibly powerful and could hold his own against late-stage seventh-rank opponents in a direct confrontation. Therefore, Zhulong's arrival forced him to abandon the ghost in front of him and deal with this powerful opponent.
"That's... a dagger?" Ye Chen's gaze narrowed slightly as he looked at the weapon in the other's hand. This was the first time he had ever seen a weapon on a dark creature. Even though the dagger looked crudely made from a distance, it was definitely not a cheap knock-off because it was in the hands of a god!
The appearance of weapons can only mean one thing: the development of this group of dark serpent people is better than he imagined. The use of tools is a major step in civilization, and weapons are also a type of tool.
The serpent-man demigod with a weapon was obviously more aggressive. The seemingly unremarkable dagger could easily pierce the scales of the Candle Dragon. Although it wasn't particularly powerful, it was still much stronger than a normal claw.
As the Candle Dragon and the Serpent God demigod tumbled through the starry sky, Noah was finally able to free his hands and set up layers of defensive warning measures for himself. This was a habit he had as a mage, always prioritizing leaving himself an escape route.
Then, various powerful necromancy spells were thrown at the snake-man demigod, especially various debuff spells such as slowing and stunning, which made the snake-man demigod dizzy and created many opportunities for Zhulong to attack.
Unfortunately, after killing the snake-man demigod twice in a row, Zhulong had very little energy left and could no longer unleash the same powerful attacks as before. He could only keep wearing down his opponent and try to inflict a heavy blow on him with each attack.
Soon, the snake-man demigod was covered in wounds, and even a section of his thick snake tail was broken off. His aura gradually weakened.
However, Zhulong's condition was not much better. Numerous wounds had appeared on its body, and dark energy was even corroding many areas, making it impossible for it to recover in a short period of time.
"It's time to end this! Yama Seal!" Noah whispered, forming a hand seal. For the first time, this former lich used a spell from the primordial East.
A colossal phantom of Yama appeared out of thin air, its powerful and majestic aura causing all the surrounding creatures to prostrate themselves. The snake-man demigod sensed the danger immediately and desperately tried to escape, but he was already seriously injured and covered in negative status effects. With Zhulong blocking his way, he could only watch helplessly as the Yama seal struck him.
"Boom!" A violent roar resounded in the starry sky, and terrifying energy waves spread out, causing countless snake people to perish.
"The combination of Western magic and Eastern spells is terrifying?" Ye Chen couldn't help but murmur. The power of the Yama Seal far exceeded his imagination. More importantly, the large number of weakening spells before made it impossible for the snake-man demigod to escape.
Finally, as the energy dissipated, the snake-man demigod drifted silently in the starry sky, without making a sound.
The Yama Seal primarily targets the soul. While its seemingly surging energy fluctuations are not particularly lethal to physical objects, they are extremely dangerous to the soul. This is why the snake-man demigod can still maintain his complete body.
Otherwise, if it were such a powerful energy attack, the snake-man demigod probably wouldn't even have left behind a corpse.
Using the Yama Seal, Noah drifted aimlessly in the starry sky. Like Zhulong, he was almost exhausted. Unfortunately, there was still a snake-man demigod with him. After a brief respite, he had to get up again.
Speaking of which, this snake-man demigod who was currently fighting against the mechs had become somewhat numb. One after another, snake-man demigods who were more powerful than him fell, and he, the one who jumped out first and was the weakest, was still alive, witnessing the deaths of one clan leader after another.
"I wonder if it will leave a psychological scar?" Ye Chen thought to himself with amusement.
After a short rest, Zhulong and Noah rushed towards the last snake-man demigod. Four snake-man demigods emerged from a spatial passage, which was far beyond everyone's expectations.
Lord Shi Mingxu and the others couldn't help but feel a sense of lingering fear. If Ye Chen hadn't come, they, as a few sixth-tier lords, would probably not even know how they died. They didn't even have a seventh-tier kin, let alone the ability to deal with four snake-man demigods in one go, one of whom was even a late-stage seventh-tier being.
Fortunately, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all of this is finally coming to an end. If nothing unexpected happens...
"Brother Chen, there's another Tier 7 snakeman over there on the mechs!" the fat man suddenly exclaimed, and everyone's eyes turned toward the direction where the mechs were stationed.
The scene was in complete chaos. The battle between the ordinary mechs and the Dark Serpent Man was relatively even, but the several Tier 7 mechs were being utterly crushed. Even if they were able to break through and unleash Tier 7 combat power, they were still no match for the demigod-level Dark Serpent Man, and their defeat was only a matter of time.
"Send Alec out to hold off the Dark Serpent People over there, stabilize the situation, and wait for the battle here to end!" Ye Chen said with a gloomy expression. He really couldn't understand how many demigod-level serpent people were in this spatial node.
