Reincarnated as a goblin, but her mother is a white-haired elf?

Chapter 253 The Despair-Inducing Demon

Time rewinds to the chaotic eve before the dragon's shadow appeared.

Linxia Town, once a peaceful and tranquil border town, has now become an abyss of despair and fear.

The last rays of the lonely moon were swallowed up by the thick haze, replaced by raging flames of karma.

Like a greedy beast, it ruthlessly devoured every inch of land, turning the verdant farms into lifeless ashes, and transforming paradise into hell in an instant.

The air was thick with the acrid smell of burning and the lingering screams of agony. The area was surrounded by a sea of fire, and in the firelight, distorted faces were filled with terror and despair.

Within the cracks in the sky, the figure of a demon could be seen appearing and disappearing.

Their enormous wings flapped through the air, and their eyes gleamed with greed and bloodlust.

Like a high and mighty judge, they looked down upon the land that was about to become their plaything.

"what!"

Countless people screamed and wailed.

"No, that's impossible."

"Boom!"

The deafening explosions rose and fell, as if mocking the world with cruel irony, each boom accompanied by the loss of life.

Behind the demon, a magic circle appeared silently like a ghost.

Two demons, one thin and one fat, with vastly different appearances, stood before the battle.

They spread their arms wide, a cruel smile playing on their lips, as if the suffering in the world was the source of their joy.

"Experience hell, then die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the magic circle shone brightly, and countless fireballs and ice spikes poured out like raindrops at an astonishing speed. Wherever they passed, all living things were reduced to nothing.

The screams of "Aaaaaah!" were instantly drowned out by the roar of the explosion.

Dozens of adventurers, caught off guard by this sudden attack, had no chance to fight back before their eyes closed forever.

Even more bizarrely, as life faded away, specks of blue light slowly emerged from the fallen bodies, like the faintest stars in the night sky.

The demons seemed to have anticipated this; they suddenly opened their mouths, and an irresistible force sucked the blue light into their bellies, as if they were greedily devouring fragments of souls.

"Gah—"

The fat demon let out a satisfied burp, patted his round belly, and his eyes gleamed with a lingering sense of enjoyment.

However, when its gaze turned to the distance, to the back of that devilish figure in a suit and tie, hurrying away, a hint of greed resurfaced.

"If only I could get that receptor..."

It murmured to itself, its tone filled with longing for unknown power.

"Hey, are you crazy?!"

Seeing this, the skinny demon quickly spoke up to remind him, his eyes full of warning.

"That's the boss's prey, how dare you covet it?"

Upon hearing this, the fat demon's greedy expression vanished instantly, replaced by deep regret and helplessness.

It knew all too well that in this world where the strong rule, they were nothing more than pawns in the hands of the boss, and any overstepping of their bounds could bring about their annihilation.

"well--"

The heavy sigh escaped from the fat demon's greasy lips.

A complex light flickered in his eyes. If, if that delicious bite could have reached his stomach, perhaps everything would have been different.

"Die!"

At that moment, accompanied by this angry shout, the sky seemed to be torn apart.

A dazzling blue rocket streaked across the sky, carrying an aura of destruction, and struck the colossal demon with unerring accuracy.

The air was thick with tension and anticipation, and everyone held their breath.

boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, and scorching blue flames, like blooming lotus flowers, instantly illuminated the entire sky, dyeing everything around them with an ominous blue-purple hue.

"Did it succeed?"

Jasmine bit her lower lip, her beautiful face filled with worry and anticipation.

However, reality is always so cruel.

When the dust settled and the flames died down.

To everyone's astonishment, the two demons were still standing there unharmed.

His entire body was tightly enveloped by a transparent circular shield, as if he were wearing invisible armor, and no matter how he was attacked from the outside, he could not be harmed in the slightest.

"How many times have we done this already!"

The fat demon's roar was filled with impatience and anger. He suddenly waved his hand, and magic power gathered in his palm to form a vortex. A complex magic circle appeared and released a dazzling light.

"No matter what you do, you can't break my shield."

The demon's voice was full of confidence.

"Yeah?"

Just then, a clear and firm voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the scene.

Everyone turned around in astonishment, only to see a human warrior clad in silver armor who had silently appeared on the battlefield. He held a huge battle axe, his eyes blazing as he coldly stared at the demon in front of him.

How will you know if you don't try?

Rachel chuckled, then lunged at the transparent shield like a cheetah.

As the giant axe swung, it created a sharp gust of wind and slammed into the protective barrier.

Katz!

In a flash, sparks flew everywhere, as if even the air itself was torn apart by the attack.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Immediately afterwards, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and the shield that was once thought to be indestructible actually showed cracks!

"It's cracked!"

"Very good!"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and hope shone in everyone's eyes.

They saw the dawn of victory; the once unattainable dream seemed to be right before their eyes.

However, at this crucial moment, the fat demon launched another attack.

He snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a powerful magical force swept towards Rachel like a storm.

Caught off guard, Rachel was jolted by the force and her body swayed in the air like a kite with a broken string before crashing heavily to the ground.

boom!

Amidst the swirling dust, Rachel's figure appeared so small and helpless.

This sudden turn of events extinguished the newly ignited flame of hope among the adventurers.

What made them even more desperate was that the shield, which had just developed cracks, was healing at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, the cracks vanished without a trace, and the shield became indestructible once again.

As if mocking their incompetence and stupidity, the fat demon revealed a smug smile.

The demon's wings spread out, obscuring half the sky, and its eyes gleamed with a playful and cruel light, as if all life was nothing more than a plaything in its hands.

"No, there's no way we can win."

"They are demons, real demons."

We will all die.

To use a video game analogy, it's like the little bit of health you painstakingly wiped away was easily restored by the BOSS, giving you a full health boost.

"No, we must not be consumed by this despair!"

"Damn it!"

Jasmine looked at the demon in the sky and cursed inwardly.

"We can't fight that shield at all."

"It is an existence that has no solution."

"No matter what kind of magic it is, it will be blocked."

Even physical attacks are useless.

"Hey, hey, hey, who said it's useless?"

Rachel slowly climbed up from the ruins, dusted herself off, and gave a confident smile.

"Didn't cracks already appear just now?"

"If it doesn't work the first time, then try the second time. If it doesn't work the second time, then try the third time."

Magic surged from Rachel's body, then receded within her, circulating.
