Chapter 985: Retreat!
After so many years, his injuries had completely healed. When Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign fought him just now, he could clearly feel the other party wasn't going all out.
He was deliberately stalling for time!
Otherwise, Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily—he would've been stuck for at least another ten minutes.
And if the enemy had gone all out, even Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign felt he wouldn't have been able to hold his ground.
But the enemy didn't.
He was purposely sparring at a leisurely pace.
"Looks like the turning point of this siege..."
"Is that non-specialist."
"If we can kill him, all uncertainties vanish."
"Heavenly Demon Capital will still stand, unbreached."
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign was hesitating.
But...
Could they really kill this non-specialist?
Looking at the figure floating carelessly in the sky, as if waiting for another Demon Sovereign to challenge him, Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign gritted his teeth.
Judgment Demon Sovereign also wore a hesitant expression.
"Hmph! Just a mere non-specialist!"
"Fellow Demon Sovereigns, watch how I slay him!"
At this moment, a defiant newly promoted Demon Sovereign stepped forward.
This one went by the title 'Frost Demon Sovereign.'
He wielded the power of Ten Thousand Demons' frost.
His backstory was practically protagonist-tier.
He had been mass-produced as a standard soldier from birth.
But on his twelfth birthday, something clicked.
He shone in the Ten Thousand Demons' training camp and earned a spot in their high school.
That's right...
The Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons had a full educational system.
And they even had their own culture.
They just happened to look like hideous monsters.
After entering high school, Frost Demon Sovereign became the top of his class.
Because of that...
He earned a guaranteed spot in university.
There, he beat up seniors and elites alike, flooring all the top talents in the most prestigious demon universities.
After graduating, he went to the frontlines to slaughter Professionals of humans and other races.
He racked up achievements and passed the Demon Sovereign Trials, becoming a newly promoted Demon Sovereign.
And he was still very young.
Just thirty years old.
Now.
Seeing a mere non-specialist silence all the Demon Sovereigns and bring such tension, Frost Demon Sovereign felt it was time to once again become the protagonist—to annihilate that non-specialist!
To once more turn the tide!
To save Heavenly Demon Capital from destruction.
And receive the praise of subordinates and veteran Demon Sovereigns alike.
He already had the script in mind.
So without delay, Frost Demon Sovereign tapped his foot, leapt out of Heavenly Demon Capital, and charged at the non-specialist.
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign, Judgment Demon Sovereign, and the others exchanged glances, but none stopped him.
Because they wanted to use this opportunity to see just what kind of freak this non-specialist really was.
After all, he was just a level 180 non-specialist. Could he really be that ridiculous?
"Here we go! Another Demon Sovereign is going to die!"
"Looks like it's Frost Demon Sovereign! A fresh new Sovereign, promoted less than a month ago!"
"I've heard of him. Supposedly, he was expected to surpass the Demon Sovereign of Ten Thousand Swords in the future."
The Demon-Slaying Legion and Amethyst Legion were ready to launch their siege.
When they saw an icy figure speeding toward Ling Zhan...
They instantly knew who it was.
"How long will it take this time?"
Every spectator—from both the legions and the Ten Thousand Demons on the walls—
Had this question in mind.
One second later...
Boom!!
The sky erupted with a deafening clash!
The blast roared in everyone's ears!
Boom!!
Boom!!
Boom!!
......
The explosive collisions echoed endlessly.
Black Flame and frost intertwined above, their radiance blooming like a black-and-white flower in the sky.
But it only lasted a few seconds.
After ten seconds or so...
Bang!!
A figure dropped straight from the sky.
Everyone watched intently.
The Demon Sovereigns were tense to the extreme.
The fight ended too quickly.
Was it Frost Demon Sovereign who crushed the non-specialist? Or the other way around?
Boom!!
The body finally hit the ground.
Dust clouds rose, obscuring the fallen figure.
The residual magic above, black and white intertwining, made it impossible to see who had survived.
Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign waved a hand, and a gust of terrifying demonic wind swept the dust away, revealing the figure.
Whoosh!!
When everyone saw the fallen body...
The crowd erupted!
"Holy shit!"
"Frost Demon Sovereign got wrecked?!"
That's right!
The one lying in the crater was Frost Demon Sovereign!
His body was completely charred by Black Flame; his once ice-blue skin now unrecognizable.
The frost power within him struggled to extinguish the Black Flame.
As if trying to protect its master.
But...
Unfortunately...
Its priority was lower than Black Flame.
"H-Help me!!"
As his HP approached zero, Frost Demon Sovereign finally cried out in fear.
Two Demon Sovereigns on the wall were about to move.
"Don't move!"
But Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign shouted sternly.
The two halted instantly.
They saw Ling Zhan now standing next to Frost Demon Sovereign, coldly staring up at them.
Everyone knew...
He was waiting in ambush!
Anyone who dared to rescue him would also die!
"So this is the Black Flame..."
"Indeed, none of Frost Demon Sovereign's burns are healing!"
The Demon Sovereigns all looked grim.
This Black Flame really countered them hard!
"Aaaah!!"
Five seconds later, Frost Demon Sovereign's life came to an end.
Just as expected, under the suppression of Black Flame, his undying secret art failed to activate!
It was absurd!
Totally absurd!
"Retreat!"
"We can't hold Heavenly Demon Capital anymore!"
At that moment, Spirit Sky Demon Sovereign waved his hand and gave the order to retreat.
