Chapter 532 Bridge Tragedy
In the underground city of Sen, in front of the city of Stonewell.
"The Fading One"
The hoarse and murderous voice of the ominous demon was heard, and everyone who heard it felt their bodies go cold.
However, Yu Fei and others opposite him were full of fighting spirit. It had been a long time since they heard the other side's voice.
Today I must make him sound defeated!
The three of them all took up a fighting stance. At first glance, it looked like a super team had appeared, and the battle was about to begin.
You Fei also thought about whether to get more people to fight the ominous demon together.
For example, he could pull out his two apprentices who were still lying in the sanatorium, or ask Lanler for some knights or something.
But later she figured it out. The power of the monsters in the Sen Dungeon will change according to the strength of the adventurers themselves.
What's more, the battle field with the ominous demon is on the bridge that looks wide but is not wide at all when the real fight starts. If there are too many participants, there is a possibility of mutual squeezing.
In other words, the more participants there are, the weaker the chance of victory.
Taking Fann and the others along for the challenge was the limit of what Youfei could accept. Besides, they were not burdens at all and each had their own strengths.
At this time, the fog door flickered and Tepi came in late. As soon as he came in, he lifted the cloak wrapped around his body, revealing clothes of strange style.
“After all, I’m the oldest one.”
While complaining, Tepi led the way and rushed towards the ominous demon. The clothes he was wearing looked special. Upon closer inspection, he was wearing fragments of the enemy's skull, and there were also many eye-catching things.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, he attracted the whole audience's attention. People's eyes were involuntarily focused on him. The ominous demon was no exception. He raised his cane and smashed it at him.
It's not that the skull decoy has any effect, it's simply because he's dressed too flashy, it's hard not to hit him.
"To make me the one who lures the enemy, this is too——"
He didn't even have time to finish his words because his body subconsciously reacted to the cane that was thrown at him and he dodged to the side involuntarily.
"boom!"
The cane missed, and Tepi was one body length closer to the ominous demon. He took out his weapon and pretended to attack. Yufei and others behind him also moved, as if they were about to launch a general attack.
So in order to get rid of the enemy in front of him as quickly as possible, the evil demon used a sharp knife!
A brilliant golden light flashed, and a long sword made of golden light suddenly appeared in his hand. He swung at Tepi at a speed that ordinary people could not react to.
Tepi's whole body tensed up at this moment. He had been training hard just for this moment. The feint attack was immediately cancelled and he floated backwards, avoiding the enemy's edge at the extreme distance measured in centimeters!
He, he avoided——
"Bang!"
Tepi's heel tripped on the flying gravel caused by the attack of the ominous demon. His center of gravity, which was already unstable due to dodging, was completely unbalanced. He immediately fell on his back and even rolled a few times.
The smile froze completely on his face.
It is already very difficult to dodge the attacks, who has the time to pay attention to the surrounding environment!
"Well done, I'm proud of you!"
Yu Fei quickly passed by him, hooked the tip of the gun on his clothes and pulled it up, and she immediately held the gun horizontally forward. Sparks exploded and flew, and the ominous demon's cane seemed to carry a tremendous force and collided violently with the gun!
Both of Yufei's feet plowed long marks on the bricks!
The muscles in her arms suddenly swelled, and the huge force visible to the naked eye rebounded back, instantly bouncing the cane away.
The Ominous Demon regained control of his staff in an instant. Facing the pressing Youfei, he chose to swing his staff in a sweep and then jump back, but at this moment, his tail was suddenly held by a huge force. He couldn't jump up and had to quickly dodge to the side.
In just a split second, a hole was pierced in his shoulder by the tip of the gun! But surprisingly, what came out was not blood, but a faint light spot.
Adventurers usually only see this kind of situation on man-made creatures such as phantoms.
The ominous demon grabbed the gun with his giant hand and tried to snatch it away. When he turned around, he saw that the person holding his tail to stop him from jumping was actually a werewolf one or two times larger than an ordinary person. It was Vann!
Where did the wolf come from? Only Tepi was surprised.
"snort."
The ominous demon released its spear at the right time and spun its body at lightning speed. Even with Vann's great strength, he could not stop the rotation. Instead, he was thrown out and almost fell off the cliff.
But when he grabbed the edge and climbed onto the bridge, what he saw before his eyes was an ominous demon leaping high in the air. The giant hammer formed by the golden light in his hand was shining brightly under the sun, and even the skinny body of the ominous demon was coated with a layer of gold, making it look like a god.
If this hammer were to fall, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Bang!"
The life-saving gunshot finally rang out.
When the Ominous Demon was hit by the first bullet, his movements did not change much, but when the gunshots rang out one after another, a mercury bullet finally hit a relatively weak part of his body, and his movements were immediately interrupted.
The giant hammer turned into light and dissipated, and he fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that made it impossible to open one's eyes.
"Good job, Isa!" Vann wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and expressed his approval to the shooter.
Isa had previously been trained in the accuracy and speed of her shooting. Before the battle began, she and Yuffie made many assumptions about the possible weaknesses in the body of the Ominous Demon.
Judging from the current situation, at least part of their guess was successful, and the mercury bullet hitting the weak point can really interrupt the opponent's movement.
I just don't know whether this interruption is an effect that will definitely occur every time or is probabilistic.
At the same time, the ominous demon waved his cane to disperse the fog, and his body remained upright. Apart from the hole on his shoulder, bullets falling all over his body, and his tail being bitten a few times by Vann, he did not have any serious injuries.
Wait, it seems that the injuries of these three combined are not considered minor, right?
"Let's start the second round." Youfei whistled briskly. It seemed that they performed well in the first round.
Even though the Ominous Demon is powerful, as the first boss blocking people from entering Stonewell City, he is not particularly unstoppable while serving as a warning to adventurers. His strength will indeed increase due to the authority of the balance of strength and weakness, but there is an upper limit, and he cannot continue to become stronger as Yufei imagined.
Teppi ran towards the ominous demon just like he did at the beginning, trying to use the same trick to attract its attention. However, he was afraid that the demon would not fall for it, so he even threw a magic prop with a pungent smell that imitated a dung pot at it.
But the ominous demon grabbed the thing with his backhand and threw it at Tepi.
"ah?"
In Tepi's eyes, he suddenly imagined his son throwing a dung pot at him, and he felt like he was under a mental attack.
Although he staggered and managed to dodge, the enemy was no longer in his sight.
Looking again, it turned out that the other party completely ignored his existence and rushed straight towards other people, and his target seemed to be Isa!
That's right, when fighting, just kill the person with interrupt ability first!
Yuffie, who had expected the enemy to take such action, grabbed Isa and threw her far to the end of the bridge.
Seeing this, the ominous demon condensed a spear and threw it, but unfortunately Vann jumped high and used all his strength to risk his life to intercept the spear, but the price was that his arms fell into brief numbness.
The second round of battle officially begins, and from now on it is a serious fight without any tricks.
The moves that the ominous demon was good at were used one after another, and the fast and slow swords that made people headache and angry were also used on everyone.
Yu Fei cursed that the fast and slow knife moves were not something a normal person could do while dodging with all her heart, and even the frequency of her attacks dropped.
However, Tepi was unable to cope with the attack because his brain reacted but his body could not keep up. He was knocked unconscious to the ground by a slap and it was unknown whether he was dead or not.
Vann bravely rushed over to assist Yuffie in guerrilla warfare. Now, under Yuffie's teaching and training, he has reached the edge of level 60 with his own efforts. Today, he successfully upgraded to level 60 with rune. His strength has officially reached level 60 in the dungeon's assessment. His fangs, claws and meat saw can already cause considerable damage to the ominous demon.
Sometimes adventurers rely too much on Sen's bonfire and blessing, forgetting that they can also improve their own strength - that is, level - through persistent training. Of course, this is a path limited to those with talent.
Isa, who was at the back, tried hard to shoot at the weak point, but the ominous demon had learned its lesson, and as if it could predict, it always used its thick and deformed tail to block its own weaknesses that might be exposed in the battle, leaving no trace of the mercury bullets.
Gun counterattack is useful, but it is also troublesome to be targeted.
In this battle that required full concentration, Youfei and Fann relied on the tacit understanding between "master and apprentice" to escape danger one after another and steadily advance the battle. The injuries on the body of the Omen Demon were increasing and had reached a level that could not be ignored. He seemed a little overwhelmed.
He raised the giant hammer made of condensed light. Seeing this, Yufei shouted to Vane:
“It’s coming again!”
The two men retreated quickly, out of the range of the giant hammer. This move was relatively easy to avoid.
"Haha, come again!" The dawn of victory was right in front of them. Youfei became excited and rushed forward again.
Vann was a step slow, not because he couldn't keep up with the pace, but because he was thinking about something.
Why did he feel that the frequency of the ominous demon using its giant hammer to smash the ground had increased significantly since a while ago?
The enemy thought this move was very useful, but it never hit them once.
Just as he was thinking, the ominous demon raised the hammer again.
"Come again?" Youfei frowned. This move always interrupted the hot rhythm of the battle, making the battle very unpleasant.
But at this moment, Fann's eyes focused, and he suddenly noticed the bridge surface, or to be more precise, the cracks on the bridge surface that were getting bigger and bigger!
"not good--"
"boom!"
There was a loud noise as the giant hammer smashed down, but another loud noise followed.
The bridge is crumbling!
The huge bridge deck could no longer withstand the constant tossing and turning of the crowd, and now it finally reached its limit!
Fann was shocked but also reacted quickly. Like a real werewolf, he used his hands and feet to pull Yufei among the collapsing and falling rubble, helping her to regain her balance. The two of them quickly ran to the side.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of rubble falling into the sea, the bridge collapsed completely, leaving only two ends.
A normal person cannot jump over the gap in between!
The ominous demon was half-kneeling at the end with the fog gate, silently recovering his strength. He only had a trace of vitality left, and it would be dangerous if he was attacked again. The collapse of the bridge was probably part of his plan, to buy time for recovery. The adventurers were at the other end, and at this distance they could only use magic attacks.
But the only one who knows how to use magic in the group is Teppi, who is now unconscious.
Fan En suddenly thought of something, looked around, and his face suddenly turned bad.
"Mr. Basque is gone!"
Could it have fallen into the sea in the collapse just now?
"No." Isa took a breath and pointed to the other side and said, "He, he's over there."
"What's wrong? Why are you wandering around like that?"
Tepi regained consciousness from his coma, crawled up with his head covered, and looked up.
The hideous and frightening face of the ominous demon was right before his eyes. Even as it stared at him, he could feel the hot breath coming out of its nostrils.
“.”
Teppi stayed where he was.
If things go as expected, what awaits him next might be something more painful than death.
“Buzz——”
Just at this moment, the fog gate behind the ominous demon ghost flickered.
A yellow spirit appeared through the fog gate.
He was a man wearing a rather large wide-brimmed hat. He looked like a magician and a swordsman, and he also gave off an air of erudition.
Yufei, who noticed this situation, asked in confusion: "Did you summon helpers?"
Vann shook his head, and Isa did the same. They didn't see the summoning talisman when they came in.
On the other side, the helpers who were summoned didn't understand why the bridge was broken, but they still took action.
[Magician Roger] launched a sweet backstab at the ominous demon!
