Chapter 598: Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus (III)

The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus didn’t pay attention to the battlefield, but looked toward the peak of the hillside. These magical beasts came just too suddenly. How could there be so many of them living in such a place? Plus, so many different races were moving altogether. There could be only one explanation for that: human summoners.

At the current moment, the magical beasts rushing down the hillside were already over five hundred, inflicting not-insignificant-damage to the Ox Demon army. Asmodeus determined, therefore, a total amount of summoners atop the hillside. He didn’t rush to intervene, as these mere summoned beasts were not enough to break through the ranks of the Ox Demon army.

Bzz. A sharp sound was emitted as colorless twisting waves broke out once again. This time, the only eye of that Demonic Eye Commander completely turned a blood-red color.

As a wielder of psychic magic, that Demonic Eye’s attack erupted.

These twisting waves passed through the most crowded areas of Ox Demons. Those victims from them almost instantly turned sluggish, but this time they didn’t recover so fast as with the previous psychic shockwaves, but let out puffing sounds as they spit out blood.

The Ox Demons in the way of these twisting waves died having their seven apertures bursting out with blood. This instant, at least three hundred of the Ox Demons perished instantly, also earning some time for the magical demons being encircled by the Ox Demons. Among them, some powerful ones immediately took the chance and rushed through the gaps in the demon army’s formations.

From the start of the battle to now, only a dozen or so minutes had passed, but the Ox Demons had lost close to a tenth of their forces. Still, the five hundred or so magical beasts also suffered similar quantities of losses.

After inflicting his powerful blow, the Demonic Eye Commander was visibly quite weakened, and its four lengthy tentacles removed themselves from the ground, rushing back to the hilltop.

“Want to leave?” The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus snorted as he pointed the large pike in his right hand toward the Demonic Eye Commander’s direction. Next, a black glow shot out from the skull flag on the top of the pike producing a black skull of a meter diameter flying toward the Demonic Eye Commander.

The other magical beasts were fighting on the battlefield undaunted by dangers, but this Demonic Eye who commanded their side at the beginning and escaped with that timing was visibly not an ordinary summoned beast. From Asmodeus’ view, this should be the contracted beast of a powerful summoner. Even he found this kind of psychic magical beast troublesome, and naturally wouldn’t let it leave alive.

It appeared as that the black skull was following the Demonic Eye Commander, a golden glint suddenly shot out from the top of the hillside, pulling that Demonic Eye. In a swish, the Demonic Eye abruptly accelerated, leaving the black skull behind. The next instant, a figure radiating in orange color came into the black skull’s path.

The orange radiance suddenly flashed, and in a swish, the black skull dissipated in the sky and a knight fully clad in gold appeared.

That knight was riding a majestic Starlight Unicorn spreading out its wings and liberating a pure and holy gloss of light. It was his shield that stopped the previous black skull.

A knight along with a summoner? Asmodeus’ human head started to reveal a cold smile, and the Hell Dragon he was riding released its bony black-flamed wings. The ox, human, and ram heads dispersed the same black flames as the Hell Dragon, and pointed the pike this time toward the distant Golden Foundation Knight.

In some ways, Asmodeus was like a demon knight. When encountering a human knight, his fighting intent couldn’t help but ignite brazenly. The Berserker Demon God Ah’nan and he shared a similarity among demon gods, and that’s the special value they attached to individual heroism.

Slapping on the Hell Dragon’s back with his right hand, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus soared and raised his more than five meters long pike while still standing on the Hell Dragon’s back, fervently staring fixedly at the opposite Long Haochen.

Dense black flames burst forth simultaneously from the Hell Dragon and him, seemingly burning the surroundings. The Earth Dragon let out a whinny sound, already rushing toward the knight riding a Starlight Unicorn.

Without a doubt, this Golden Foundation Knight was naturally the captain of the Demon Hunt Squad Bright Glimmer of Hope, Long Haochen.

The previous tide of beasts was obviously summoned by Chen Ying’er alone, who relied on the eighteen Creature Summoning Gates to call out over five hundred magical beasts, manifesting her terrifyingness as a high levelled summoner. In fact, over ten of her magical beasts were at the ninth rank, matching human powerhouses of the eighth step. The Ox Demon army would need to expend quite a large cost to get rid of them, so they performed very effective stalling.

After completing her summoning through the Creature Summoning Gate, Chen Ying’er was still recovering.

The Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus pointed his pike forward, causing crispy sounds to be heard as mighty black flames were shot from the peak of the pike, changed into a dragon head in the air, then aimed straight at Long Haochen. This blow was far more powerful than the previous attack on the Demonic Eye Commander. At the same time he launched the attack, the sky behind Asmodeus’ back turned pitch black.

Right at that time, a golden light surged out from Long Haochen’s back, and immediately, a milky white pillar of light shot from behind him, aiming at Asmodeus.

Black and white crossed each other in the sky. When the pike in Asmodeus’ hand rose, that black flaming dragon immediately deviated, biting at that white light. But to the surprise of the Dragon Rider Demon God, the white pillar of light directly drilled through the dragon head, as if not affected in the slightest, then landed onto his body. A special feeling immediately filled Asmodeus’ whole body: that instant the knight in front of him became suddenly like his lifetime enemy, and Asmodeus' sole wish became killing him.

No mistake, that white glow was not any attack, but the release of Yating’s evolved ability through the Saint Spiritual Stove.

The Saint Spiritual Stove is able to attract the enemies’ attention, turning oneself into the number one target for his offensive attacks, but cannot affect the enemy’s offensive power. At the same time the Saint Spiritual Stove’s effects affected Asmodeus, his black dragon also arrived in front of Long Haochen.

The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon was used to block it, alongside Divine Obstruction.

Bang--

Long Haochen deliberately met this attack head on, because he wanted to know the extent reached by Asmodeus’ true strength.

The instant that black dragon met with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, Long Haochen couldn’t help but let out a gasp.

Asmodeus’ strike was filled with violent darkness spiritual energy. A sticky essence of darkness rammed against the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. Like a worm, it started to extend and try passing the two sides of the shield to reach his body. Not only that, but the terrifying impact force directly bombarded Long Haochen, even repelling Star King several dozen meters away, before he could stabilize.

Divine Obstruction is a knight’s most practical and most important technique. By using it appropriately, one can resist a several folds stronger enemy. And with a sufficiently powerful shield, the might of Divine Obstruction can grow even further.

Certainly, one might not necessarily find a better shield than the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon in the whole Alliance. Adding to that, Long Haochen’s personal understanding of Divine Obstruction was close to perfection. But even so, he didn’t manage to fully dispel the might of the enemy’s strike.

A violent impact force shook the Divine Snail Shield, as Long Haochen felt the internal spiritual energy in his body running amok. But by chance, the shield in his hand, transformed from a Starlight Divine Beast, had by its own nature a great suppressing power toward darkness spiritual energy.

Holy Light’s baptism managed to stop the black flaming dragon’s corrosion from spreading. But with this probing clash alone, Long Haochen determined that the enemy was far above himself in strength.

When the two sides don’t differ much in strength, the Saint Spiritual Stove can effectively suppress the enemy, but when the gap is so wide, it becomes just a charming effect.

After pushing Long Haochen back in a blow, the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus accelerated in a flash, going after Long Haochen’s retreating figure, approaching rapidly. The flagged pike in his hands was swept up, aimed straight at Long Haochen on Star King’s back.

This knock carried an imposing black electricity. Looking from afar, Long Haochen only appeared like a small ball of light, while the Dragon Rider Demon God was like an overwhelming black cloud making Haochen look insignificant.

But this time, Long Haochen made a decision that Asmodeus did not expect. The orange glow disappeared: he unexpectedly recovered the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon serving as his greatest defense. Instead, in his two hands he wielded the Aria of the Goddess of Light. Confronting Asmodeus’ sweep, the heavy sword in his hand launched a downward strike.

Looking for death! Asmodeus let out a snort, and his ox head let out a roar as his pike gained in might. Even with a mountain in his way, he would sweep through it head on.
