Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 118: Devil vs. Devil
Tan nodded, and his followers immediately opened the boxes.
At the same time, a large number of demons climbed up from under the suspension bridge, watching the humans' every move vigilantly.
The madman sat there, staring at the stone box. As a gap appeared in the box, intense flames and powerful fire element energy overflowed from it.
Then, the built-in mechanism unfolded the stone box in all directions, and inside was a square monument shaped by pure fire elements. The square monument was a standard rectangular block, and the base was a whole piece of obsidian. Without the restriction of the box, the fire element overflowed more strongly, and the violent flames formed a pillar of fire that erupted upwards.
The madman knew what he was talking about. He recognized at a glance that the core of this fire elemental monument was a very large earth core. The earth core was the product of the eruption of the Red Flame Torch, a divine artifact of the Purgatory Civilization, and its function was to greatly increase the effectiveness of the Purgatory Divine Art.
Although the Earth's Core Fire Core was rare in the past, there was still a chance to obtain it due to the occasional output of the Red Flame Torch.
But now the artifact has been lost for more than a thousand years, and the earth's core fire core has almost become extinct.
Even in an era with magical artifacts, such a large earth core fire core is extremely rare.
The madman could not help but stand up. He stopped his subordinate demon from going forward to check, and then asked Tan: "Where did you get this earth core fire core from?"
"In the ruins of an ancient war." Tan stood next to the Fire Monument, with a protective shield around his body to block the invasion of fire elements. "We have to admit that ancient wars have left us humans with so many good things. Archaeological research can be said to be one of the main driving forces for the development of human civilization."
Tan's words reminded Kuangtu of the war he had experienced in the past.
In order to win, both camps did everything they could, and many of the best things in the bottom of the box were moved to the battlefield. Some were used up, some were lost, and the death of key figures made the search as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack .
The madman said with emotion: "It has been a long time since I have seen such a large core of fire. It may be the largest core of fire in the entire hell.
You chose this gift very carefully. The Earth's Core Fire Core is of great value to me, but it is useless to you.
What do you want from me by giving it to me? "
Tan asked: "I heard... the demon who colluded with foreign humans and secretly sold armor and weapons in Jiaotu City has been found?"
The madman sat down again, but his eyes were fixed on the Fire Monument, and he answered, "Found it! It's Malvini. She wants to use these armors and weapons to expand the family's power and frame the Madobusa family.
Now Malvini has received the punishment he deserved.
I am discussing future cooperation with the demon hired by the Hell Development Company of the Golden Shield Empire ."
Tan had already noticed the one-horned demon and his demon descendants standing nearby, and now knew their identities.
"Lord Fanatic, we hope that you will continue to honor the signed agreement and give the weapons franchise to our Highland Ventures. We will soon be able to provide you with cheaper, higher quality armored weapons, and you will not need a second weapons supplier."
The madman laughed and said, "Human, are you teaching an ancient demon how to do things? I am very satisfied with this gift. I can give most of the orders to your Highland Venture Capital Company and guarantee that you will have a greater advantage in the Purgatory market."
Tan continued to fight: "We want it all. Not just the Purgatory Market, but the entire Hell."
"Human, the devil has the final say in hell..."
Just as the madman was bargaining with Tan, the whole castle suddenly shook violently.
"What happened!" the madman asked loudly and angrily.
A lamp demon rushed onto the suspension bridge from outside: "Lord, it's the fallen angel Garland! He is leading the fallen angels and black feather demons to attack the castle. They have broken through the gate and rushed in."
"Fallen angels! I knew they were a bunch of untrustworthy guys!" The madman stood up again, and fires ignited on both sides of the suspension bridge. Countless demons climbed out of the flames. The madman ordered: "Destroy the invaders and make this place the grave of the fallen angels!"
"Fight for the Mad Lord!"
The demons rushed out like a tide, and countless more crawled out from under the suspension bridge.
A more intense battle broke out, and the entire castle continued to shake under the impact of magic and combat skills.
The madman sat down again and said confidently: "The support from the Demon Clan in Scorched Earth City will arrive soon. The Fallen Angels really overestimated their strength.
Humans, let’s continue…”
As soon as the madman's butt touched the chair, he noticed the changes in the Fire Monument.
A magic circle lit up on the unfolded stone box, and the pillar of fire rushing upward from the square monument turned into a stream of fire flowing downward. The humans who came with Milia formed a circle to protect the magic circle in the middle.
The madman's pupils shrank, and he said maliciously, "I was wondering why the fallen angels would attack my castle without knowing their own strength. It seems that they have offered you higher conditions than I have.
I advise you to stop now, human!
Hell is the devil's hell, no matter what the fallen angels promised you, it will never come true."
Demons crawled out of the flames under the suspension bridge again, and they rushed over to the Fire Monument without hesitation. No matter what magic circle the Fire Monument was activating, destroying it was the right choice.
The human protecting the Fire Monument showed the alchemical wristbands on his wrists. The left wristband unfolded a square shield, and then expanded into a defensive light shield. The light shields combined into a circular protective shield. He pulled out a long sword with his right hand and stabbed the demon who rushed up through the light shield with single-sided protection.
Tan was not wearing the golden armor unique to the Shining Gold People, so he was able to kill the demons with just his conventional combat skills and magic, without allowing the demons to get close to him.
The flames under the suspension bridge also joined the attack on the Fire Monument, and fireballs and fire snakes continuously attacked the protective shield from all sides. Fireworks splashed everywhere, and the dense demons and intensive attacks almost drowned Tan and her followers, but the protective shield did not shake at all, as if it could not be broken in a short time.
The stream of fire flowing down from the Fire Monument gradually submerged the magic circle on the stone slab.
The madman watched the battle on the suspension bridge, gathered energy in his hands to create a huge fireball, and warned Tan for the last time: "Terminate the magic circle, or you will all die here."
Tan concentrated on the battle and ignored the warnings of the madman.
When the madman saw that the Fire Monument magic circle was about to be activated, he threw the fireball in his hand into the air.
The flames on both sides of the suspension bridge set off two huge waves of fire, and the waves injected fire element energy into the fireball in the air. The fireball expanded rapidly in the air, and in a short time it turned into a fire meteorite with a diameter of ten meters.
The meteorite smashed down towards the suspension bridge. As long as the suspension bridge was destroyed, all the people and demons on it would fall into the sea of fire below. The magic circle would naturally end if it lost its stability. Even if the remaining people were lucky enough to survive, they would sooner or later be destroyed by the demon family who came to support them.
A huge meteorite of fire smashed down .
Tan's task was to protect the activation of the magic circle. Seeing the meteorite falling on her head, she held the sword with both hands, gathered her strength, and then swung it upwards with all her strength. The sword cut through the space, pulling out a huge half-moon-shaped sword light.
At the moment when the fire meteorite was about to hit the Fire Monument, the crescent-shaped sword light slashed and cut through the middle of the fire meteorite in one fell swoop. The collision of energy and energy produced a huge explosive force, pushing the split fire meteorite apart and smashing it from the edge of the suspension bridge into the sea of fire on both sides.
The madman stared at Tan. He knew that this human woman was very powerful, but he didn't expect that the strength she displayed this time was far beyond his expectations.
Now this human woman is standing in front of the fire monument, and the magic circle below the monument has been energized.
Flames rushed up from the magic circle, forming towering walls of fire on all four sides.
Then black figures flew out from the wall of fire one after another. They had the bodies of hell demons but had the standard black wings of fallen angels. They were the black-feathered demons cultivated by the fallen angels in the black prison.
Following the Black Feather Demon were some Fallen Angels. As soon as they appeared, they immediately launched an attack on the Mad Demons. The battle broke out on the suspension bridge and spread to the air.
The fallen angel Garland flew out of the wall of fire gracefully as always, and greeted the madman as if he were meeting an old friend: "Lord Madman, your castle is too heavily guarded, forcing us to use our treasured Earth Core Fire Core to set up this teleportation array.
If you admit defeat now, you can avoid death!"
At this time, the sea of fire had illuminated the entire palace. The palace was circular in shape, with a towering platform in the middle and the rest was all deep pits.
There was only a suspension bridge connecting the platform and the palace entrance, which had been occupied by the Fallen Angels and the Black Feathered Demons. They protected the suspension bridge from being destroyed by the demons while blocking the entrance to keep the demons out.
The madman was trapped on the high platform in the center, with only two succubi and a few powerful-looking demon descendants around him.
The madman did not look like a trapped beast. He stood there full of confidence in victory.
"Garland, are you stupid? You actually dare to attack a demon lord. Have you ever thought that even if you take away my territory, what will happen? Other demon lords will never see the fallen angels having the same status as them.
Hell is the devil's hell!"
The fallen angel Garland flew to the edge of the platform and said to the lunatic in a casual tone: "I admit that hell is the hell of demons, but it does not mean that the fallen angels cannot use other methods to own a vast territory that belongs to us.
Madman, you don't need to be wary of me, your opponent this time is not me..."
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
At this time, the fire wall around the Fire Monument began to rotate and change position.
The madman could see that this was the space teleportation array repositioning the space coordinates...what else was coming?
The wall of fire stopped moving, and then a foot stepped out from it, and sparks flew the moment the foot landed.
The fire suddenly increased in intensity, and a strong figure bathed in fierce flames walked out of the fire wall. At the same time, a large number of demons swarmed out from the other fire walls and attacked the demons of the madman without stopping.
"Tyrant!" The maniac recognized the demon that was teleported from the wall of fire and asked, "Are you the one who is conspiring with Highland Venture Capital and the Fallen Angels to seize my territory? Aren't you worried that you won't be able to control them and will end up being their puppet?"
The demon tyrant walked towards the madman step by step, sparks flying with every step.
"You once said that with my current strength, it might take a thousand years to retake Hearthfire City. Anything can happen in a thousand years...
So I can only use you to make a deal with them."
The fallen angel Garland made way for the demon tyrant to step onto the platform and confront the lunatic. They were all wearing armor given by Highland Venture Capital Company, and they were equally majestic and violent.
The madman saw through the tyrant's thoughts: "You want to have a one-on-one demon duel with me, and then quickly receive my demon offspring with the victory?"
The tyrant stretched out his right hand, and a cloud-like flame took shape in his palm.
"This is the best way to quickly take over your territory. Manager Milia, the Fallen Angel Garland, and I don't want this territory to be caught in a long battle, as that would attract invasions from other demon lords.
A one-on-one demon duel is the best approach.
If you can defeat or kill me, there will be no point in Manager Milia and the Fallen Angels continuing this war."
The madman looked at the fallen angel Garland and the human merchant Milia on the suspension bridge. As expected, they had no intention of directly intervening in this confrontation.
"Tyrant! I admit that you were very strong in the past, but most of your strength came from the Red Flame Torch. Now that the artifact is lost, your magic has weakened, and you have been trapped for a thousand years, how much strength do you have left that makes you dare to challenge me?"
The tyrant stretched out his left hand, and a cloud-like flame rose from the palm of his hand.
"I also want to know what kind of strength I have now, especially in a hell full of active fire elements." The tyrant stretched out his hands, and the flames on his body formed a large cloud of fire behind him. The sea of fire around the platform became more boiling, and the fire elements formed clouds that filled the entire palace space.
At this moment, not only the madman, but even Garland and Tan who were watching the show on the side couldn't help but have serious expressions.
The fire element is recognized as the most violent element. All of its forms are full of restlessness and exude a sense of destruction and destructiveness.
However, the fire elements that made up the clouds were unusually quiet at this moment, showing the same tranquility and plasticity as the water elements.
Is this still the fire element?
Or was it the tyrant who made the fire element so tame?
The madman gathered fire elements from the air and shaped a battle axe, facing the tyrant as if he were facing a formidable enemy and taking a fighting stance: "Tyrant, it seems that during the period of being sealed, you have experienced adventures that we can't imagine. Such a high affinity for fire elements has turned hell into your absolute home ground.
But demons have strong resistance to fire elements, you..."
The tyrant stretched out his hand and crushed the battle axe in the madman's hand into pieces of fire element. "Since you know that I have a high affinity for fire element, don't show off your fire element spells in front of me. As a demon, you can't use fire element. How much strength do you have left?"
The madman was dumbfounded looking at his empty hands.
Demons, or creatures from hell, are all naturally proficient in the element of fire, and most of their strength lies in fire spell skills.
Now that you don’t let me use it, how can I fight?
"Drag the tyrant out and cover my escape. I will bring all the demons in the city to rescue you!"
The restrained maniac knew that he was no match for the tyrant, so he wanted to send the demons around him to cover his escape.
But... there was no response.
The madman looked around and saw the succubus Darikova and Madobusa stabbing their trusted demon descendants with knives.
Realizing that she had been discovered, Darikova looked at the madman pitifully: "Lord... we just want to live. I'm sorry..."
After saying that, Darikova ignored the stunned madman, pulled Madobusa to the corner and put up a protective shield for herself, shouting: "Tyrant Lord, our Darikova family and Madobusa family support you to become our lord..."
The maniac yelled, "You two little bitches!"
