Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 918

Upon learning of the massive invasion by the abyssal demons, the three kings gathered in War King City.

Only the Eastern King believed that the War King and the elders of the Upper City could solve this problem, so he continued to guard his Eastern King City and did not join forces with them.

"Bless yourself!"

The Wolf King glanced at the demon army outside the city, showing absolutely no intention of leaving.

Putting everything else aside, that one high-ranking demon alone was enough to extinguish any thought of them escaping alone.

"I wonder if the War King will be able to break through the encirclement and rejoin us?"

Because of the Dream Realm, the War King was able to send back a message before being surrounded, and everyone knew that the War King and his companions had fallen into the demon's trap and could not return for the time being.

Upon receiving this message, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, but it was too late to run. They could only defend War King City and see if they could fight for a chance to survive.

Huo Yi, standing outside the city and seeing the city offering no response, couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Siege!"

With a wave of his hand, Huo Yi unleashed his power, and hundreds of thousands of hungry demons, unable to contain themselves any longer, charged toward the vast War King City.

The city is filled with numerous high-quality beings from the main world, shining like stars, and the demon army has long been unable to contain itself.

"kill!"

Seeing the demons closing in, the three kings and the lord of the Dream Palace guarded the four sides of the city gates respectively, joining forces with the professionals inside the city to fight the enemy.

Boom...

The first wave of demons rushed into the royal city's protective array. The golden barrier was incredibly dazzling, and it didn't even ripple in the face of the demon army's onslaught.

After the previous incident involving the Golden Ancestor, the Lower City finally overcame its initial period of hiding its strength and was able to engage in deeper exchanges with the outside world.

With the help of the Upper City's platform, War King City also purchased a lot of precious materials from other forces to enrich its own resources.

Despite the attack of hundreds of thousands of demons, War King City firmly withstood the first wave of attack.

The demon that crashed into the barrier was somewhat surprised, but its actions did not stop at all, and various attacks continued to bombard the golden barrier.

"Do it!"

With the protection of the formation, the professionals inside the city gained a lot of confidence and continued to attack outwards through the barrier, killing the approaching demons.

Simply defending will only lead to exhaustion; we must reduce the number of demons as much as possible.

"Open a crack in the barrier at the south gate, and I'll lead my men outside to kill the enemy." The Wolf King channeled a wisp of his spirit into the token in his hand, using the Dream Realm for real-time communication.

While it is safe to kill enemies within the barrier, it places too much burden on the War King City.

Every attack the demons launches on the barrier is a drain on the foundation of the royal city.

Upon receiving the order, the people responsible for maintaining the formation inside the city instantly opened a crack in the barrier at the south gate.

In an instant, a demon tried to break in, but as soon as it got close, a wolf's claw smashed its head open.

The Wolf King, accompanied by a dozen or so personal guards, appeared directly on the battlefield of the demon army, fighting fiercely against the demons that kept rushing towards him.

The wolf king, whose strength far surpasses that of a silver-level wolf, is incredibly efficient at killing, and his movements seem quite familiar with this kind of large-scale encirclement and suppression, clearly indicating that he has honed his skills countless times in the Dream World.

Even some mid-level demons came over, but they couldn't last more than three moves against the Wolf King.

The wolf king's actions immediately attracted the demons at the south gate. Countless demons rushed forward to defend the immortals and launched an attack, which relieved a lot of the pressure on the guards at the city gate.

The wolf king, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, suddenly sensed a deep malice, and his beastly instincts seemed to be plunged into a fireball.

"not good!"

The wolf king was startled. Its claws, forged from refined gold, swung in a mysterious arc in mid-air and collided with a demon's claw.

boom…

The two claws collided, instantly creating a deep protective barrier around them.

"what!"

The one who made the move was Huo Yi, a high-ranking demon in charge of the lower city, who looked at the enemy in front of him with some surprise.

The opponent was only at the mid-level demon realm, but unexpectedly, it blocked its attack head-on, which surprised Huo Yi.

"go!"

The Wolf King quickly ordered his guards to retreat. The enemy's high-ranking demon chose to attack, and even launched this most shameless surprise attack, which was not unexpected.

After the guards retreated, the Wolf King naturally could not fight a high-ranking demon in this environment. After exchanging a single blow, he instantly retreated.

"Want to leave!"

Huo Yi also didn't want to miss this opportunity, and moved closer as well.

"Ow!"

A soul-shaking wolf howl erupted, causing Huo Yi to pause for a moment.

At that very moment, the Wolf King successfully retreated back into the barrier's range and breathed a huge sigh of relief.

...

Chapter 822 Resistance in the Upper and Lower Towns

"So strong!"

The wolf king returned to the barrier, and three fingers of his wolf claw, which had exchanged blows with the demon, were broken. The powerful force had split his entire arm open, revealing the bare white bone.

Not only that, but wisps of demonic power emitting black smoke swirled around his arm, hindering his self-healing abilities.

"As expected of a high-ranking demon, I am no match for him at all." Old Wang looked at the injuries on his hands, which had no further strength and had been worn down by the power of his own origin.

However, even a small amount of damage requires at least two or even three times the effort to diminish.

Although he could kill other silver-level demons as easily as killing chickens, when facing a high-ranking demon comparable to a gold-level demon, he really went all out and even had some difficulty surviving.

boom……

A swift, fiery fist slammed into the barrier in front of the Wolf King. Even through the golden curtain, one could feel the intense heat mixed with chilling force of the attack.

The incredibly strong golden barrier was also rippled by this attack.

"Tch, they didn't even break through!"

Huo Yi frowned as he looked at the still sturdy barrier. The array's power was incredible; it could block attacks from the outside world over such a large area, and its strength was astonishing.

As expected of the main world, even a remote place has such a profound foundation. It had underestimated these people.

"However, how long can you hold out?"

Huo Yi grinned. Without the support of the Gold-level experts, these people, combined with the power of the formation, simply couldn't stop the demon army's attack.

Most importantly, it has this feature; such a large-scale defensive barrier is most vulnerable to powerful single-target attacks.

At the same time, since there was no one in the city capable of handling such matters, they were unable to stop Huo Yi's actions.

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat!

boom!

Huo Yi threw another punch, the scorching force of which slammed into the golden barrier, making the backlash against those maintaining the formation within the city even more severe.

The impact of a single attack from a high-ranking demon can even exceed that of a combined attack from 100,000 demons.

call out!

Just then, a golden cannon barrel was erected on the War King's city wall, its muzzle aimed at Huo Yi, and terrifying energy gathered on the cannon.

boom!

A sound like thunder resounded, and a ball of lightning struck Huo Yi with lightning speed.

A sense of crisis rose in Huo Yi's heart. He had no intention of fighting back and immediately chose to retreat.

However, the ball lightning was extremely fast, and the diffused current subtly created a suppressive force through the space, slowing down Fire One's speed.

Then the spherical lightning exploded, and the light, like that of a supernova eruption, illuminated almost the entire world. Even Wolf King and others who were relatively close couldn't help but squint.

As the blinding light faded, a deep crater appeared before everyone, with almost liquefied energy constantly splashing across its surface.

The demons within the blast radius of the spherical lightning were not even left with intact corpses, clearing a gap for the demon army.

"I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. I underestimated you."

Huo Yi flew in mid-air, looking at the effects of the explosion, and was surprised again.

Unexpectedly, these people, in addition to their defense, also possessed such offensive capabilities.

If it were hit head-on, it would probably be seriously injured.

Fortunately, it was quick enough that it only grazed my hand.

"What a pity."

Wolf King and the others looked at the high-ranking demon in mid-air and immediately felt a pang of regret.

This was their trump card attack, with power almost comparable to a top-tier gold-level strike, yet it still failed to injure their opponent.

Although a number of demons were killed, and some demons even hesitated to advance, it would be of no use as long as this high-ranking demon was not dealt with.

As the stronghold of its own people, War King City was naturally not only built with defensive measures, but also with corresponding attack measures.

However, this powerful attack relying on formations has significant limitations. Although its attack power is good, it is difficult to use it as a true gold-level attack.

"The next attack will probably have to wait a while. Hopefully, this attack will deter the enemy." The Wolf King's hand injury is also healing rapidly.

Faced with a life-or-death situation, War King City unleashed its full potential.

Various resources that replenish one's vital energy and restore physical strength and injuries are freely available; one can't just leave these things to the enemy after the city falls.

Moreover, all kinds of resources and inherited knowledge that assist professionals in advancing their careers are now completely open to the public.

In this situation, having one more professional means increasing the chances of survival.

The more critical the situation, the more thoroughly the existing order and restrictions will be broken.

To survive the demon invasion, War King City had no choice but to go all out.

"If someone could advance to the Gold level, the situation would be completely different," the Wolf King murmured, a longing rising in his heart.
