Chapter 1177: Section 1178: Primeval Flame Reappears
“`
Whether it was Nitotipu and Yadasai or the human camp, both sides had actually already understood the other’s strengths and capabilities.
Shrouded in a cloud of rain, Nitotipu was essentially invincible, making any attack on it extremely futile. Therefore, Monty merely instructed a group of True Knowledge Wizards to restrain Nitotipu as before, while he prepared to swiftly eliminate Yadasai first.
Yadasai, now besieged by Komodo and Monty, was briefly oppressed to the point of being unable to retaliate.
But if one disregarded Nitotipu’s umbrella, the strongest defense among the seven demons of the Void Tower was actually Yadasai’s.
Even in a defensive position, Yadasai’s thick bone armor still helped it ward off the majority of the attacks.
For a moment, both sides were again stuck in a deadlock.
In the process, some human wizards tried to stealthily bypass the battlefield and strike at Aoluxiya from behind. However, their end was either being affected by stray energy waves or being so suppressed by sheer pressure they couldn’t move, eventually becoming live targets and losing their lives.
The only high-end combatant left unoccupied at the scene was Fafnir.

If Fafnir chose to intervene at that moment, then Aoluxiya would have been easy prey. However, Fafnir was completely disinterested, indifferently waiting on the sidelines for the moment the ‘Birdcage’ opened, with no intention of joining the battle.
The struggle continued, amidst flickering lights and shadows, accompanied by continuous thunderous noises.
In the end, Yadasai couldn’t withstand the assault of two Half-step Legends and was forced to retreat step by step, and with Samantha and other True Knowledge Wizards entangling Nitotipu, it was unable to provide support.
Cracks had begun to appear on Yadasai’s bone armor.
Monty and Komodo’s eyes lit up at this moment, they were well aware that as long as they broke through Yadasai’s defense, it would all be over.
Thus, their offensive became even more ferocious!
Following an exchange of energies, finally, a ‘crack’ was heard from Yadasai’s chest armor.
A mass of web-like fractures began to spread from the center of the bone armor, and bone fragments, like old flaking walls kissed by the wind, began to peel off… the bone armor was in fact Yadasai’s exoskeleton, so any damage to it was significantly harmful to Yadasai.
The light in Yadasai’s eyes gradually faded, and it sighed as it glanced back at the Aoluxiya floating in mid-air.
Yadasai retreated.
Once Yadasai moved out of the way, Aoluxiya behind it was left wide open.
Continuing to chase Yadasai at that moment could have possibly resulted in capturing it. However, Monty and Komodo’s gazes were already fixed on Aoluxiya, and after Yadasai fled, they no longer paid it any heed.
A gold and a red streak of light darted towards Aoluxiya!
Aoluxiya’s doom seemed imminent.
Humming sounds—
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky!
Without any warning or sign!
All demons and humans alike were enveloped by this pressure! Though void of any killing intent, its power level surpassed all beings present, such that even Monty and Komodo, under this appalling pressure, couldn’t advance a step further.
For a moment, everyone instinctively looked towards the source of the pressure.
They saw that the ‘Throne of Flames’ overhead had completely vanished, with all its flames pouring into the between the brows of the innkeeper. With the disappearance of the flames, it signified that the innkeeper had attained the final power.
In terms of strength and under the scrutiny of the world’s will, the innkeeper was acknowledged!
The new Demon Lord was truly born in that instant!
As the sky’s flames vanished, the outermost Birdcage also began to slowly turn into a Phantom Shadow… It was the finest news for the demons trapped in Lassudral; but for humans, it was the worst news possible.
Once the Birdcage completely vanished, the demons on the outside, having been coveting with malevolence for half the day, were already sharpening their blades in anticipation.
But deterred by the momentum and pressure of the lord’s birth, they hesitated to invade for the time being.
Monty believed that once the pressure eased, the demons outside would surely rush in at the first opportunity!
Monty’s gaze darkened gradually, meaning they were running out of time, and they might only have one chance.
That is, when the innkeeper withdraws the pressure, they must take Aoluxiya away immediately and activate their trump card to leave Lassudral before the demons outside arrive!
If nothing unexpected happened, Monty was confident he could manage it, at worst… even if it meant giving the Primeval Flame to Komodo.
However, sometimes the development of the story is so unpredictable that not even Monty himself could foresee it.
…
Sanders was also immobilized by the pressure and struggled to turn his head to look at Angel in the distance.
Angel was also looking towards the humans at this moment, meeting Sanders’s gaze at that exact instant.
Although it was only an exchange of looks, Angel understood what Sanders intended to convey. Sanders was telling him to follow Fafnir and leave Lassudral as soon as the pressure was lifted.
“`
This had actually been settled back when Sanders and Fafnir first met at the bottom of the Void Tower.
Angel still followed Fafnir to Ice Valley to complete the task given by Odeclass. Afterwards, Sanders would come to Ice Valley to find him.
The reason Sanders conveyed this message once again was because the current situation was far from optimistic.
Angel could also see that once the demons outside the Birdcage broke through, Lassudral would become a land of complete chaos. Humans would definitely be targeted first, and his only way out was to follow Fafnir!
