Chapter 429: Chapter 286: Flatten_2

The ground shuddered violently, jumping like the surface of a drum struck by a heavy blow, and intense thunder light even penetrated the body of the demon, illuminating Rod’s field of view.

Accompanied by tremendous thunder light and the sound of roaring, countless dark mists leaped forward, entering Rod’s body, and countless Souls Without Spirit surged wildly.

Success!

In his ecstasy, Rod did not forget to look up at the demon above him.

Suffering such a heavy blow in a dormant state, the demon still had not died.

Its massive body was leaving the ground, its soul had been severely damaged, but no vulnerability appeared.

It was rapidly awakening from its dormant state, and its powerful spiritual energy was gradually filling up.

This monster is tough!

Rod knew something was wrong and quickly ran outwards.

By then, the thunder light had fallen, and apart from the area where the Chaos Demon was, the ground had sunk several dozens of yards overall, with a super huge pit extending as far as the eye could see, and radial cracks from the lightning strikes visible everywhere.

The black ocean had disappeared, leaving only ashes everywhere and many small remaining tributaries.

Good!

Rod clenched his fist.

The tactic had completely achieved its intended target; most monsters in the Isone Ruins had been wiped out, leaving only a few remnants and this Chaos Demon.

The Chaos Demon had now stood up.

It was at least one hundred yards tall, its entire body covered in armor-like black hard exoskeleton, with brown bones extending from its arms, forming two massive bone blades.

It had a bulky lower half and a strong upper body, its huge skull completely armored as well, but an empty space from the top of its head to the back of its skull, the armor having flown off.

Rod felt that must be its weakness.

He lifted his right hand, bright star dust falling from his fingertips, rapidly gathering into star lines, coiling around his fingertips, a high-speed spinning top taking shape.

The Chaos Demon seemed not yet fully awake, and Rod planned to take this opportunity to add another attack. What if he could produce a vulnerability?

The Star Shuttle quickly took shape, but suddenly, a star line clearly veered off course, instantly turning the whole Star Shuttle into a cloud of starlight, scattered below his fingertips.

Damn!

This is too difficult; I’m not adept yet.

Just then, Anna, who had run far away, came running back, shouting, "Rod, come quickly!"

Boom!

A loud noise.

The Chaos Demon was gradually awakening; its soul moving from a dormant state to an active one, it took a step forward, and its enormous footprint made a thunderous noise on the ground.

An overwhelming wave of spiritual energy hit him in the face, and Rod clearly felt the intense pressure.

Could he handle a monster that hadn’t been killed by a million Thunder Stones?

Of course!

I am invincible!

Rod leapt onto Anna, slapping her hindquarters, "Run!"

Anna galloped away at full speed, momentarily leaving the demon behind, and exclaimed angrily, "How many times have I said it! Don’t slap my butt; I’m not a horse!"

"Where’s Mephisto?"

"In a safe place."

"Go pull her up."

"Of course, do you even need to tell me?"

"Then we’ll go back and finish off that demon."

"Sure, we... what?"

Anna looked back in astonishment.

"That monster wasn’t killed by a million Thunder Stones; we’re no match for it! Now let’s go back and regroup the team, can’t we just wear it down with the same kiting tactic as last time?"

Rod shook his head, "No... my spiritual energy is not enough."

Anna was surprised, "Why? Your spiritual energy has increased so much, how could it not be enough?"

Rod was at a loss for words, as he couldn’t explain why he wasn’t able to use "Awakening" indefinitely, so he came up with another excuse.

"The ability to forcibly pull monster aggro needs to be used continuously, and the Chaos Demon is much stronger than the last one, it’s very difficult to wear it down."

"What if we bring in sister Aro?"

"Hmm, maybe that would work, but let’s try first, and if it doesn’t work, we’ll go back."

"Okay."

Anna quickly pulled up Mephisto from a hillside in the distance.

Rod briefly explained his plan.

"The back of the demon’s skull has been blown off by the Thunder Stones, that’s its weak point, and I happen to have a very strong long-range strike ability, with a range of about two hundred yards. You need to get close to the Chaos Demon and circle around to its back."

Anna blanched at the bold idea.

"No, it’s too fast, two hundred yards is too close, I have too little room to maneuver."

"Don’t panic, Mephisto will freeze it."

"That... can it work?"

"It will."

Rod’s words finally reassured Anna a little.

She turned and charged towards the Chaos Demon.

The agitated Chaos Demon also noticed this unwelcome guest, charging at them with its huge bone blades swaying by its side. Although its movements were clumsy, it was fast, and its massive size turned that clumsiness into heaviness.

Anna’s straight-line speed far surpassed it, but once she entered the two hundred-yard range, the demon could stomp on her with a burst of speed, leaving her no time to dodge.

However, when Mephisto’s Cold Ice ability was activated, the demon’s speed noticeably slowed.

Its huge body began to frost over, its strong spiritual energy unable to ward off the invasion of the cold.

Anna was amazed; she had never seen such a powerful Cold Ice Attribute before. Many in the Royal City possessed similar attributes, but none could achieve this level. The Chaos Demon’s resistance was extremely high, normally unaffected by the cold, and eleventh-level spiritual energy should allow it to resist most negative states.
