The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.
Chapter 717 Nightmare Beast
Lionheart City, a city that Xu Lai had visited several times but had never properly visited.
The huge city wall still surrounds the city, but the intermittent gaps are like ugly scars.
On the city wall, there used to be swords and horses and fluttering flags, but now it is full of devastation and snow-white human bones are everywhere.
Flying all the way, with the help of amazing speed and ultimate logistics skills, Xu Lai and his team were extremely fast.
We set out after breakfast in the morning and arrived at Lionheart City before noon.
Under the strong sunlight at noon, there were only scattered groups of demons on the city wall.
Low- and middle-level undead are afraid of sunlight. Although high-level undead and demons will not be harmed by sunlight, they also extremely hate it.
The light of the scorching sun carries strong positive energy, and even if it travels thousands of miles across the universe, it still makes demons and undead feel uncomfortable.
These demons who occupied Lionheart City had no interest in cleaning up the city or the battlefield.
Patrolling demon squads would even pick and choose among human corpses, picking out the parts that still had flesh on them and putting them into their mouths to tear into them.
On the streets of the city, the cobblestone roads were stained red with blood, and corpses lay there, silent and desperate.
The once bustling market, which once housed tens of millions of people, is now reduced to burnt-out stalls and scattered goods.
Occasionally, one or two terrified screams would break the silence in the streets and houses, and then be swallowed by the darkness.
In the City of Sant'Angelo, the bells of the once towering church bell tower have stopped ringing and no longer bring comfort to the people.
On the spire, a huge black shadow stood, its red eyes reflecting the flames of the abyss, looking down coldly at this city that was once full of faith.
Around the shadow, countless lizard-like zombies were playing at the feet of this huge black shadow.
The arrival of Xu Lai and the holy angels was like the scorching sun being pulled to the earth. The strong light and positive energy made it impossible for the low-level demons to even breathe.
Under the shadow of the devil, the remaining creatures huddled in the corners, their eyes no longer showing the former brightness, only deep despair.
And the culprit behind all this was staring at Xu Lai with his huge black eyes.
This horrible monster from nowhere can be distinguished between the hero and the leader at a glance.
The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and scorched earth, and the devil's claws penetrated into every brick and tile of the city.
Blood and scars covered this once glorious city.
And now the city within the city has been burned down by the devil, and there is no trace of its former appearance left.
The only remaining bell tower has become a paradise for demons and the dead.
"Xu Lai, be careful, let me deal with this guy.
If my guess is correct, it is a nightmare beast, probably the mount of Kerrigan, the Lord of Hell.
It is said that it is extremely powerful and brutal, and in the whole of Hell, only Kerrigan can subdue it."
This nightmare was truly too huge, even larger than the behemoths and dragons that Xu Lai had seen before.
Perhaps, only the fully mature Xiaolan, the holy dragon raised by Xu Lai, can grow larger than this nightmare in the future.
Nightmare looks like a horse, but has a single horn, pitch-black skin, and can fly without wings.
Its flying method is to use flames provided by its four hooves, which makes it extremely fast. Its disadvantage is that its turning is not very flexible.
When seeing this huge nightmare, the only thing Xu Lai could think of was the water unicorn.
One of these two things is good at water, and the other is good at fire. Both are huge and have extremely high combat power.
But these two things, one is a holy beast and the other is a demon, are inherently incompatible.
It’s a pity that Xu Lai failed to bring the water unicorn this time.
And even if he brought it, he would not be a match for the other party, because Xu Lai's water qilin was summoned, just like recruiting water qilin.
But just by looking at the pair of red eyes that were staring at Xu Lai, one could tell that the nightmare in front of him was definitely a terrifying monster with high intelligence that grew up on its own.
Xu Lai didn't even need to investigate. Just by looking at the appearance of this thing, he knew that it must be a tenth-level creature.
Fortunately, although Xu Lai did not have the water qilin, he still had more than 200 tenth-level holy angels around him.
It was precisely because of the existence of this group of angels that the nightmare did not launch an attack blindly.
Kerrigan couldn't bear to give up Lionheart City, which he had spent so much time and effort to build.
So, he kept behind his most powerful fighting force, his own mount, the Nightmare Beast.
Also left behind was a demon hero, Dandanmu, a horned demon commander.
Kerrigan left behind hundreds of thousands of slow-moving Horned Demon Warlords, as well as a large number of hellhounds and level 5 fire demons in Lionheart City.
Whether it is the Horned Demon Marshal, the Hellhound, or the Fire Demon, they are all low-level troops.
Most of these troops were brought from other places and did not originally belong to the Burning Legion.
Kerrigan's Burning Legion takes the elite route and does not need ordinary soldiers at all.
However, the casualties in the siege of Lionheart City are obvious to be considerable, so naturally a large number of cannon fodder will be needed.
After occupying Lionheart City, Kerrigan brought the main force back for reinforcement, leaving only a small number of elite troops and a large number of cannon fodder here.
Now in the entire Lionheart City, the number of troops above level 7 in the Hell Camp will not exceed one thousand.
The good news is that although the City of Holy Angels was destroyed and the City of Lionheart was in ruins, at least the population is still very high.
There were no living people on the streets, only corpses and body parts, and a large number of undead were attracted.
But as a holy archangel, Elvy can naturally feel the vitality of life.
Although the vitality of Lionheart City is dim, the base is still huge.
Kerrigan will need a large population, no matter what he wants to do.
This gave ordinary people in Lionheart City some breathing space.
Xu’s arrival was quick, catching the Burning Legion utterly unawares, and even the few heroes responsible were unable to escape.
As a horned demon commander, Dandanmu really doesn't have much status among the elite Burning Legion.
Even if there is a hero who escapes, he probably won't contact Dandanmu.
Therefore, Dandanmu only believed that Xu Lai and the angels he led were the relics of the temple.
At that time, the Pope used the huge amount of energy he obtained after the descent of the spirits and performed the void teleportation to teleport away a large number of clergy and angels.
Although he had never seen the species of angel before him, there were only a few hundred of them.
With the strength of that terrifying nightmare beast, it should have no problem dealing with these hundreds of angels.
As for the thousands of royal griffins, Dandanmu didn't even take them seriously.
Kerrigan looked down upon the combat capability of the Winged Demons and only took some of them away as reconnaissance and flying cannon fodder.
At this time, there are still nearly 5 winged demons in Lionheart City.
Even if the combat effectiveness of such a large number of winged demons is slightly weaker than those of the same level, they are far inferior to the royal griffins.
But after all, in terms of numbers, the two sides are far from being on the same level.
What Dandanmu couldn't understand was why that terrifying nightmare beast didn't launch an attack yet?
It's Kerrigan's mount. No matter how brave he is, he wouldn't dare to provoke this terrifying beast.
No matter how brutal and cruel the nightmare beast is, in the entire Lionheart City, only it and its descendants dare to disobey Kerrigan's orders and eat living people.
The rest of the demons would at most pick up some corpses and would not easily touch humans.
However, the nightmare beast was also intelligent. Dandan Mu could not sense it, as it was extremely sensitive to the sacred aura. Thick black smoke gushed out of the nightmare beast's nostrils.
That was its anger that had not yet fully burned out.
In addition to the fact that the aura of these angels was particularly disgusting, it also had a hidden fear in its heart, which it could only cover up with anger.
Demons know how to be afraid, but the undead do not feel fear.
They have no morale, no luck, no hunger, no fatigue, no fear or terror.
But they envy living life and hate the holy light.
At the feet of the nightmare beast, a dozen zombies climbing on the bell tower opened their terrifying mouths and roared at the holy angels in the sky.
Elvy frowned in disgust and wanted to take action, but was wary of the giant beast.
It’s not that she was afraid. Although she no longer had the blessing of the war horn, she was still an archangel who had fought with the Lord of Hell.
If you have defeated your master, why would you be afraid of your servants?
What Elvy was concerned about was Xu Lai who was standing beside her.
Without the Holy Light Knight by his side, Xu Lai could only use a small invincibility potion at most, which could not even provide him with a full minute of invincibility.
However, Elvy had concerns, but Xu Lai did not.
His main character is a brave man who is not afraid of the brazier exploding.
At Xu Lai's signal, Yu Lan transformed into a super war eagle and fired a chain lightning that directly electrocuted the group of zombies into charcoal.
A large number of corpses will naturally attract these undead spirits that feed on corpses.
And although there was once a holy city in Lionheart, it is clear that the demons will not be so kind as to purify dead humans.
The rank of the ghoul is not very high, only slightly higher than the skeleton soldier, and is a rank 2 undead soldier.
But no matter what, Lionheart City is also the territory of the devil. These undead appear here and seem to get along well with the devil.
Demons and the undead are both evil forces. Xu Lai would not be surprised if hell and the cemetery formed an alliance.
But although he was not surprised, he was very annoyed. He had been fighting outside for such a long time and even the demons had not been eliminated. He really did not want to provoke a more difficult enemy.
After transforming into a super war eagle, Yu Lan's random curses could not be released, but her chain lightning was a 4th-level spell with extremely strong power.
Using such a spell to fight level 2 undead is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Xu Lai's purpose was to provoke and to anger the other party to the greatest extent.
After all, demons have occupied the entire city. In addition to those exposed outside, more are hidden in the buildings.
Let the demons launch the attack first, so Xu Lai will have more initiative.
He didn't even use any strategic spells, just to be able to defeat the enemy later.
The devil is indeed intolerable. If he could endure this, he would have no face at all in the future.
The nightmare beast roared, and dozens of slightly smaller nightmare beasts rushed out from the church, the dormitory, the former knight training ground and the priest academy.
Generally speaking, whether it is a wild beast or a magical beast, the larger the size, the stronger the strength.
These dozen or so nightmare beasts are obviously not as powerful as the one standing on the top of the bell tower.
Under the cover of these nightmare beasts, the one on the top of the bell tower whooshed straight towards Xu Lai.
Elvy frowned, held up the Sword of Holy Judgment, and stood in front of Xu Lai.
With a ding sound, although they were both at the tenth level, Elvy had a set of divine weapons, the bonus from the statue of the god of war, and the god-level offensive skills blessed by Xu Lai.
But even so, in the last round of power confrontation, Elvy was completely defeated by the opponent.
The huge force directly knocked Elvy away.
The power of this nightmare beast is even greater than that of Kerrigan, the lord of hell.
Elvy, who was knocked away, was caught by Xu Lai.
Although the residual force did not cause any harm, it pushed Xu Lai and the warhawk under Xu Lai more than ten meters away.
But just as the nightmare beast was about to make another effort to take down Elvy and Xu Lai in one go, hundreds of golden lights flashed in the sky.
Of course, the target is not only the nightmare monster, but also the descendants it brings.
At the same time, Dandanmu also launched tens of thousands of winged demons.
As a meat shield, Dandanmu has mastered both defense and resistance to the ultimate level.
But apart from the fire spells, there is nothing else worth mentioning.
Under the effect of the ultimate resistance, about 25% of these hundreds of judgment rays were directly resisted.
The remaining ones can only cause 75% damage.
But even if it was 75%, it was still extremely horrific damage, and several nightmare beasts that were hit more often died on the spot.
The rest, even if they didn't die, were seriously injured.
Kerrigan's mount, the Nightmare King, absorbed the most firepower and its health was almost completely wiped out.
However, the huge holy light energy brought severe pain.
Enduring the pain, the Nightmare Beast also used its ultimate move, the Sleeping Curse.
During the release of the Sleeping Curse, all enemies around the Nightmare Beast will enter a sleeping state.
But unlike general control skills, the sleeping enemy will automatically enter an invincible state and will not be affected by any damage.
Therefore, this is a special kind of control that even invincibility cannot exempt.
Elvy and the others who fell into a deep sleep naturally could not continue to cause harm to the nightmare beast.
He even fell to the ground involuntarily because he was sleeping.
Fortunately, under the sleeping spell, Xu Lai and others would not be harmed, and even if they fell to the ground, they would not be damaged.
This is a powerful move that requires the cooperation of the nightmares' natural ability to enter dreams in order to achieve maximum effect.
Otherwise, this is just a life-saving tactic.
All nearby enemies were asleep, giving the Nightmares space to heal.
However, the range of the Nightmare Beast's skill is not wide enough, and it cannot even cover the entire group of angels.
Taking advantage of this great opportunity, the demon hero Dandanmu took the lead in releasing his strategic spell, a bloodthirsty fire spell.
There is no way. The targets on the ground are invincible, and the targets in the sky are too far away, so damaging spells cannot be cast.
Give the enemy negative status. The holy angels, seraphim and evil angels in heaven are immune.
Only the three thousand griffins that he looked down upon could be hit.
For higher-level slaughter, even sacrificing oneself to save those few dead nightmare beasts is acceptable.
But unfortunately, Dandanmu, as a meat shield hero, does not know such high-end spells.
In any case, bloodthirsty magic can increase the demon's attack power.
Even if it only increases by 1 point, ten thousand winged demons will have increased their attack by ten thousand points, right?
Of course, the effect cannot be calculated in this way, but the ultimate bloodthirsty magic is more powerful than this. (End of this chapter)
