Every demon believed they wouldn't be next to die, and every demon was certain they would get a share of the spoils.
They are afraid of death, but they also feel that they must be lucky.
How greedy and foolish!
However, An Yi didn't have much to say. If he had to choose, he would definitely choose the combat method that yielded the greatest benefit.
However, unlike these demons, he can attack vital points and kill demons with minimal losses.
For high-magic-powered demons, even breaking the opponent's scales is troublesome enough; their priority should be preserving their own lives and quickly killing the opponent.
"Qiang——!!"
The sound of metal rubbing against metal could be heard as the magic shield was scraped by the steel scales of the giant steel snake, creating a string of sparks that were exceptionally conspicuous in the dim rainforest.
The giant steel snake, its scales unfurled, seemed to have entered its second phase, and began to attack relentlessly with fury.
The demons also divided their forces, with some supporting the shield and others using magic to deplete the enemy's stamina during the gaps in the attack.
Before long, the withered tree spirit seized the opportunity again, and its vines attacked once more, suspending the entire giant steel snake in mid-air.
The next round of magical bombardment followed immediately, and Steelix struggled to break free again.
However, this struggle was clearly not as intense as the last one.
His physical strength had visibly declined.
"It's about to die!" a demon shouted excitedly.
This was indeed the case in the eyes of the four members of the Saintess Squad.
Actually, it wasn't just the visible high-magic demons attacking; while the giant steel snake was bound, the withered tree spirit also cast some kind of magic within the vines, absorbing the opponent's stamina, magic power, and life points.
After just two rounds, Steelix's health points were already more than half!
"Intersection" (↑: Baqi\~6{6毶—℃") and boom!
The giant steel snake fell into the underground river again.
This time, however, it did not attack immediately, but instead fled towards the outside of the vine net as if it had gone mad.
In the senses of the demons, the opponent charged headlong into the vine net, and then a muffled "thud" was heard.
The giant steel snake's hard head slammed into the vine net, yet it didn't budge an inch!
It was like crashing into a mountain; it couldn't be moved!
It could understand that it was trapped, and that demons had made it their prey.
But once the trap was set, it was impossible to escape. What else could it do but kill all the demons around it?
Only with wisdom can one truly feel despair.
Trying to break through the vine net is just a last-ditch effort; if it can break through, it still has a chance of survival.
But this vine net was set up by a level thirteen high-magic-power demon, so how could it possibly break through the ground?
They just didn't want to waste their magic to kill it.
Its death was inevitable.
"Oh!"
The giant steel snake flew back and bit down on the place where the demons were.
This is a very risky move, because its mouth must be its most vulnerable part.
Sword Hero: Miss Miluko, are you ready?
Hero of the Thorns: Hmm.
All the demons were focused on the giant steel snake, unaware that the four members of the Saintess Squad were already preparing to make their move.
Moreover, the high-magic demons were completely unaware of... 8'%武℃〖棲$(硫饵索缩:…
That inconspicuous little guy had quietly blended in among them!
Just now, when the giant steel snake was entangled by the vines, the high-magic demons removed their shields and launched a collective attack.
During that brief bombardment, Milu was able to infiltrate directly among the demons. With her [Pseudo-Formless] spell and multiple concealment spells, the demons didn't even notice her presence.
It was already dark around them, so they didn't even know who was next to them, let alone notice that someone had appeared.
Seeing the Steelix open its mouth, Annie immediately issued a command;
[Sword Hero: Throw all the poison you get along the way into its mouth.]
Hero of the Thorns: Huh? Isn't that... a bit of a waste?
Sword Hero: If it's gone, I'll just pick it up again.
Hero of the Thorns: Received!
With the thought of An Yi "automatically picking up" items along the way, Mi Lu was no longer confused!
"boom!!"
Its gaping maw snapped into the magic shield, and its four venomous fangs pierced through the shield almost instantly!
Biting force has always been an important attack method for some demons, and it is not impossible for it to penetrate a shield.
"put!"
The demons responsible for the attack also simultaneously blasted their attacks into the opponent's open mouth.
Milu quickly flicked the various pills from her pouch into the other person's mouth, then immediately turned and ran away.
"Oh!"
"boom!!"
The magic shield cracked first, shattering into countless points of light like glass beneath the snake's mouth.
The attack came immediately afterward, the magic striking the snake's head.
The giant steel serpent, braving the attack, rammed directly into the horde of demons, instantly killing or severely injuring half of them!
"Gah—" Si
The giant steel snake raised its head and let out a strange, angry roar.
Black smoke billowed from its head; a demon, in its dying moments, had blasted out one of its eyes. (Ear)
Suddenly, a strange sensation came from my mouth.
It felt like various spells of different attributes were exploding in its mouth, a chaotic sensation bombarding its brain. Even a highly resilient demon like the Great Steel Serpent was instantly dizzy.
The unexplained dizziness made it even more restless, and it began to writhe and thrash about in place, like a loach jumping around on a chopping board.
The demons, now reduced to less than half their original numbers, were unaware of what had happened. They simply jumped back, too afraid to approach, and prepared for their next defensive and offensive maneuver.
I don't know what's wrong with it, but after it's done, it'll definitely come after me!
Chaos and rage filled Steelix's mind.
Suddenly, it saw some kind of demon in the eye of its last remaining snake, and its gaze sharpened—So.
Kill! Q
Kill him!! (Group)
A small demon, possessing negligible magical power, stood within its line of sight, holding a strange stone shield adorned with a rhinoceros head sculpture.
Kill him!! Kill him!! Kill him!!
"Hah—!!"
Its steel scales unfurled, shattering even the hardest tree trunks under its impact. Grass and trees were torn apart and swept into its wild power, crushing everything like an unstoppable chariot, its eyes filled with endless fury!
A group of tiny creatures dared to challenge it!
Eat! Eat it all!!
Layton looked at the charging giant snake and sneered, "Rhinoceros Stone Armor!"
The moment he finished speaking, the shield in front of him rapidly deformed, and stones covered Layton's body, draping him in a heavy stone armor.
The rhinoceros head was finally assembled in front of Layton's head, making him look like a small "stone rhinoceros".
“Gah!”
It opened its huge mouth, its four sharp teeth gleaming coldly like scimitars, and its gaping maw was big enough to swallow Layton whole!
However, Layton, fully armored, did not retreat an inch, his eyes beneath the stone armor narrowing!
"Bang!!"
With a resounding clang, Layton grabbed the giant fangs with both hands. The violent impact forced him to retreat uncontrollably, but he was not thrown away. Two trenches appeared beneath his feet and were then flattened by the giant snake. There were stones firmly nailed to the ground beneath Layton's feet!
"?!?!"
Not only were there many powerful demons, but the most shocking thing was the giant steel snake that bit at Layton!
The other party actually withstood its impact with their own body?!
If it were an ordinary high-magic demon, even if it tried to support itself with its hands, it would be crushed along with its hands immediately!
The opponent wasn't crushed; it simply couldn't suppress its power and retreated! san＠‖〔●←￡2」≌
What kind of magic is this?
"Your Highness!" Layton roared.
"It's already been prepared!"
Just then, a flash of blue light appeared.
A silver-haired "demon" appeared beside them at some point, holding a magic wand carved with a deer's head, and above the deer's head were two ice crystal antlers.
"Ice Sky!"
The scattered white ice mist suddenly contracted, freezing the already water-covered Steel Serpent into a giant ice sculpture.
Its writhing body suddenly stiffened, as if the blood in its body had frozen.
Contrary to expectations that they would break free immediately, the other person's movements were like a fish being pulled from a glacier in the frigid polar region, its body contorting into a strange shape before freezing in place.
The demons are reluctant to use their magic, but Lycorina is not.
