Chapter 1083: Section 1084: Confrontation and Objectives
There’s a reaction in the vital blood, indicating that Sanders mustn’t be too far from me.
Angel raised his head and looked towards the floating ice in the sky, Could Sanders be up there?
But if Sanders were on top, the voice transmission shouldn’t be so muffled.
This was the first time Angel had encountered such a situation. Although he still didn’t know Sanders’ exact condition at the moment, he felt somewhat relieved in his heart. Being able to sense Sanders’ presence through the vital blood at least meant that Sanders had safely emerged from the spatial passage.
Above the sky, the group of demons were all in shock due to the sudden appearance of the huge floating ice.
They had never expected that humans would barge into Lassudral just as the Fire Monarch was about to ascend the throne?! Why had these humans come here, and what were they planning to do? The demons had no clue, but they knew the humans’ arrival meant no good.
In just a few minutes, the sheer airflow from the floating ice had swept away countless demon lives.
When the floating ice came to a halt in midair, the robed masked figure at the forefront extended a hand and pointed, and a vast number of wizards emerged from behind him, dense and swarming like birds freed from their cages, instantly obscuring the burning sky.
The demons might be numerous, but the wizards were even more so!
The power of demons was formidable, but wizards were a cut above in their technique of wielding power.
And if one were to include the various alchemical artifacts the wizards wielded for assistance, the demons would struggle even more. Currently, the only advantage the demons had was being in the Abyss, where their restoration speed surpassed that of human wizards.
But the wizards hadn’t come to Lassudral this time to wage a war of attrition, as they were bound to lose such a fight. Their goal was singular; they just needed to capture Aoluxiya, and nothing else mattered!
When the wizards took matters into their own hands, it was as if locusts had swept through the land. The demons in the sky couldn’t muster their team strength and ended up discarding their armor, fleeing in disarray in no time.
For a moment, the sky that was once filled with demons became sparse and empty.
Watching the disorganized demons, a glint of joy flickered in the eyes of the wizards on the floating ice. However, their elation was short-lived as they heard Monty say, “The fleeing ones are just small demons, and many are even half-blood demons; we can’t afford to be careless.”
Monty was right. The most numerous in Lassudral were indeed the small demons.
The ones they had easily dealt with just now were all small demons. And the intermediate rank demons and above were all watching from afar, eyeing them ominously yet not making a move.
The real troubling opponents were these stalwarts of Demon City.
Monty pondered that both prolonged attrition and swift blitzes would be ineffective against these intermediate rank demons, so the best option now was to achieve their goal before Demon City’s high-end forces could react.
Monty looked up at the sky as the fire pattern pulsated.
He vaguely sensed that a powerful force was brewing behind the fire pattern.
What the flames in the sky signified, Monty was momentarily unclear, but what he did know was that the location connected by the fire pattern was where Kanter had indicated Aoluxiya’s position!
Monty, following the intermittently emerging fire pattern, eventually locked onto a building in the southern outskirts of Lassudral.
It was odd that the building was surrounded by emptiness, unlike other areas that had been turned into seas of fire. It was tranquil, as though a hermit living in a world apart.
“Samantha, steer the floating ice toward this location!”
While Monty was looking towards the southern suburbs, Kanter and Sanders were also looking in that direction.
“Eh, when I saw it earlier, Angel was in the cabin in the forest in the southern outskirts,” Kanter said with a frown. “Now, it’s all turned into a sea of fire; who knows where he’s gone?”
Sanders looked over as well, seeing that nearly everything was a pool of burning magma, with flames raging so fiercely that at least an intermediate rank flame demon must have fallen there.
A sea of fire without a trace of life.
Sanders’ heart tightened, worried about Angel’s situation. But soon, he snapped back to reality, knowing that Angel shouldn’t find it difficult to escape with his speed, and assuming that there should still be a dark-skinned woman with him—the exceptionally strong one by his side; his safety shouldn’t be in doubt.
“Sigh, I didn’t expect Angel to actually be in Lassudral. Why is he here? And that woman with him, what’s her story? She couldn’t possibly be… planning to betray my precious Qi Li, could she?”
Sanders glared coldly at Kanter, ignoring his blabbering mouth, and closed his eyes to feel for the vital blood’s location.
Since Angel was still in Lassudral and at such a close distance, could he transmit a message?
But after a moment, Sanders furrowed his brow; he could vaguely sense that Angel should be nearby, but couldn’t pinpoint his location. Angel’s position was elusive, like a feather caught in the wind, unable to settle anywhere peacefully.
Sanders sighed, thinking he had failed once more.
However, just as Sanders was about to cancel the sensing, a voice suddenly reached his ears.
“Mentor, is that you? Where are you?”
Angel’s voice had a clear and pleasant timbre between that of a teenager and a young adult, not only pleasant to the ear but also highly distinct.
After hearing Angel’s echo, Sanders’ eyes lit up, and he immediately tried to communicate again, eager to understand Angel’s situation and location. However, no matter what Sanders said, there was no response from the other side.
“Eh, can the mentor not hear my voice? Or did I mishear just now, and it wasn’t the mentor speaking?” Angel’s voice of confusion came from the other side.
After that, Sanders tried to sense again, but no longer had any success.
Although he didn’t get the specifics of Angel’s condition, he could gather from the murmurs during the telepathy that Angel’s situation shouldn’t be too dire. Sanders thought to himself, Maybe Angel’s circumstances are even more comfortable and secure than anyone else present.
Seeing this, Sanders also felt slightly relieved.
He indeed had no way to search for Angel now.
Sanders glanced around and, before he knew it, strangely shaped Intermediate Rank demons had finally appeared around the floating ice, completely surrounding them.
Ordinary Intermediate Rank demons were at least at the True Knowledge Level. Those at the peak of the Intermediate Rank had strength of at least the Second Level of True Knowledge.
Around the floating ice, more than twenty Intermediate Rank demons appeared, and right now they were staring at everyone with fierce expressions.
Although they had not yet attacked, it was clear that these demons intended to obstruct them. Without dealing with the demons, it would be difficult for them to continue onwards.
“Humans… despicable humans…,” “Devour them,” Heeheeheehee—human brain matter is the tastiest, I can’t forget it since the last time I sucked on it,” “What color sparks would human flesh ignite?”
