The array of weapons he wielded in his hands swung wildly, and the players standing in front of him were either smashed to pieces or sent flying!

"Lord Demon King, please step back!"

"Leave this to us!"

Without any superfluous words, Helen and Sherry stepped forward in unison, protecting the Demon King, who rode on the Earth Cave Spider, behind them

The former wielded her dual staves while chanting spells, and in the span of a single breath, she summoned numerous vines, each over a dozen meters long, and lashed them toward the octopus knight!

The latter threw out black orbs of magic that hovered beside her, chanting spells while rapidly drawing her bowstring. In coordination with her sister's lashing vines, she unleashed a volley of arrows imbued with magic light!

At that moment, both exhibited extraordinary power that undoubtedly reached the threshold of refined steel, their combat and hunting experience also being top-tier within the Gray Wind Tribe.

Yet even so, the strength they displayed was still a far cry from the overwhelming power of Sir Mel the Knight Commander

The whistling vines were easily cut through, and the rain of arrows gleaming with magic light was deflected by the chaotic qi that swirled around him

"Die!"

Mel roared as he swung his battle ax. The black and red aura coalesced into a blade as tangible as any steel, and with a pressure that seemed to tear the space itself, it cleaved towards Sherry.

"Ah!"

Aiming to dodge, Sherry, with her bow and arrow in hand, found her feet as heavy as if they were filled with lead, held by an invisible large hand!

Her eyes widened dramatically.

Was this Undead Magic?!

No—

The aura emanating from the magic light was undeniably one of chaos, merely emulating the other in its method of use

"Be careful!"

Seeing her sister rooted to the spot, Helen was startled. She swung her dual staves forcefully to the side, sending Sherry flying into the woodland beside them!

The chaotic blade wrapped in black and red light struck solidly in the very spot where she had been standing moments before, and the explosive shockwave peeled away earth and turf for meters around!

Sherry, hitting the tree, coughed up blood. Looking toward the direction struck by the blade of chaos, her wheat-colored face turned pale

Though she couldn't avoid breaking several ribs, it was a far better outcome than being cleaved by that thing

Unable to check on her sister's condition, Helen fixed her gaze on the Chaos God's chosen hurtling toward her, guiding the vines with her staff's tip to try and restrict his movement

However, before the chaotic power enveloping his ax blade, all the vines she released were shredded, incapable of halting his charge

Luo Yan was not sitting idly by, the Soul Drain poised in the palm of his hand, a magic wand gleaming with a nether-green light also thrust forward

"Netherworld Fire!"

The searing pain of the flames shot through all the nerves in his body as before him surged a netherworld-colored inferno

The cold, piercing flames spread like the breath of a Nether Dragon, covering a fan-shaped area in the direction of Mel!

Struck in the face by those nether-colored flames, Mel felt as though he had plunged into an icy pool. Lacking any hint of scorching heat, the flames seemed to ignite every single cell in his body

But—

Thinking that they could defeat the divine power bestowed upon him by the gods with such minor abilities was naïve!

There was a fierce look on Mel's face as the tentacles below him moved rapidly, passing straight through the burning area, and in one slash, he opened a path through a cat-person in front of him, thrusting the long halberd directly at Luo Yan, who was riding the great spider

"Go repent in the Abyss, Demon!"

As the whistling cold light neared the Demon King's nose, the dim-witted Alakdo simply had no time to defend. Sarah, her body sluggish as if it were filled with lead, wore a look of despair on her face

Yet, at that instant, a brilliant red light swooped down like lightning from the sky and struck the halberd thrusting at the Demon King!

"Clang—!"

The sensation in his palm startled Mel

Especially when he saw the figure floating before the Demon King, his bloodshot pupils shrunk to pinpoints

The white dress trimmed with red ribbons whipped in the howling wind, and beneath that blood-red hair were a pair of strange red eyes

The diminutive demon, less than three feet tall, gripped six cross-shaped short swords, three in each hand

With hilt clamped between clenched fingers, crossed in front of her chest like the claws of a bat, she barely blocked the halberd tip and sickle thrust at the Demon King!

Demon—

It really appeared!

With an ugly expression on his face, Mel's face twisted into a sinister smile as he circulated the Chaotic Power within his entire body, ready to tear the pesky Little Demon and the Demon King to shreds!

However, what happened next left him stunned.

No matter how he summoned the Chaotic Power to converge at the tip of his spear, the figure standing before his long halberd remained unmoved!

A torrential surge of Magic Power continuously flowed from those slender arms, at one point even surpassing the power the Deceitful Fog Nuoville had bestowed upon him!

How is this possible!

Mel's eyes widened in disbelief, filled with astonishment.

How could a mortal's power possibly contend with a deity's—

Even if it were a Demon!

At that moment, tens of thousands of bats suddenly took to the sky from the forest, the flapping Little Demons forming a swath in the heavens.

"Go for it! Lord!!"

"Tear him apart! Tear him apart!"

"Oh oh oh oh! The Lord is indeed very capable!"

Yousi, excited, cupped her leaky fingers over her flushed face and let out a weird shriek as she looked at Qianqian perched atop the Demon King's head.

Only Mi Xi was shivering, clamping her legs together with a "I'm going to die" ghostly expression plastered on her face.

But even at this dire moment, the loyal Mi Xi didn't buckle under pressure, generously offering her share of strength to the King without reservation.

It wasn't some Divine Power——

It was coming from all the Little Demons!

Seeing the crisscrossed Magic Energy in the sky like a giant net, the astonishment on Mel's face finally turned to fear.

So that's how it is——

Combined casting!

To be precise, it wasn't what he would describe as "combined casting," but rather the Little Demons' commonly used Magic Power sharing.

The tiny-brained creatures couldn't remember too many cumbersome Spells and were easily affected by spiritual magic.

Thus, through long wars, they had honed a battle strategy unique to the Little Demons—

That is, they'd pick the "biggest" one from the collective and let that respected and sizable King cast magic on their behalf!

Utilizing Magic Power sharing required one's spiritual power to match a near-identical frequency, and beings with richer consciousness found it more difficult to resonate.

For this reason, "Magic Power sharing" had almost become a secret art exclusive to Little Demons, who fell somewhere between clever and not-so-clever.

Usually, it only worked among Little Demons from the same nest.

And the higher their morale, the more effective it was!

This favorable situation clearly did not suffer from low morale!

Revelling in the cheers and encouragement from her tribe, Qianqian felt an inexhaustible strength filling her body; her demonic red eyes glowed with an imposing aura!

At this moment, the long halberd against the tip of her sword felt as light as a foxtail grass, and the bulky body beneath her covered in tendrils seemed as insignificant as a sticky snail.

"Heh heh..."

Weak!

So incredibly weak!

With a little effort, the "toothpick" caught between her sword bone began to tremble and emitted a cry of unbearable weight.

Looking down at the ant below her that increasingly couldn't hold its own, Queen Qianqian's tail gently coiled around the Demon King's chest, steadying the unconscious him on the back of the Earth Cave Spider. She then flapped her wings, thrusting forth the blade in her hand.

The blade, a blur, left two crisscrossing claw marks in the air; the long halberd in Mel's hand shattered instantly, splintering into broken fragments that scattered in all directions!

Looking down at the pained, contorted face, her bright red lips curled into a sinister smirk.

"Dare to touch my Demon King—"

"You've got some nerve!"
