Chapter 366: Demigods? We Can Still Overpower Them!
Chapter 366: Chapter 366: Demigods? We Can Still Overpower Them!
Instantly, seeing Soul-Devourer held back, Space-Ripper activated his ability, [Space Devouring].
His body phased right through reality, opening a hundred-meter-wide space crack directly in the center of Logan’s legion formation behind him. “Hehehe! Once I kill your commander, let’s see how you command the battle!”
Logan raised his right hand. The Black Dragon relic shield on his arm flared with golden space rule light as he cast [Space Rule·Sky-Mending].
Logan had perfectly predicted Space-Ripper’s path. The golden space energy in the void clashed with the transparent crystal.
Crack… crackle…
The sound of shattering space echoed like breaking glass. Space-Ripper’s space devouring was forcibly interrupted, and a tiny crack appeared on the surface of his transparent crystal body.
Seizing the moment when all three Demigods were blocked, Logan’s familiar legion launched their charge, swarming toward the invaders’ forces in Restricted Zone 47.
“Damn it! Deal with that Legend stage human first!” The soul-devouring one saw that both physical and space devouring had failed against Logan. He condensed his gray mist into sharp soul spikes and launched them straight at Logan’s Soul Sea.
The soul spikes were incredibly fast, reaching Logan’s forehead in an instant to devour his soul essence.
Inside Logan’s Soul Sea, Nyarlathotep’s consciousness exploded with power. White-gray soul rules formed a soul chain barrier right before his forehead.
Dense white-gray chains interlaced tightly. The Devouring Rule and the soul rule collided, hissing with the sound of corrosion.
The intense collision made blood pour from all of Logan’s orifices, yet his body didn’t waver even an inch. He held the soul line firm.
Meanwhile, Violet stood at the rear line, her golden vertical pupils scanning the entire field as she rapidly issued orders: “Blood River! Lead the flesh puppet legion to plug the left flank gap. Don’t give Soul-Devourer any opening.”
“Shadow Phantom! Lead the Abyss Walker assassins to flank the three vanguards from the shadows and distract them.”
Though Blood River and Shadow Phantom held deep resentment, the suppression of the Totem Seal kept them from disobeying.
At the same time, the Ancient Beast Clan warriors joined the fight.
The Ancient Beast Clan warriors took the front line to block the impact, the flesh puppet legion filled the defense gaps, and the Abyss Walkers attacked from a distance.
Plus, with Logan’s familiar legion taking the offensive, the main forces in Restricted Zone 47 were tied down. The border defense of Restricted Zone 53 held firm.
On the peak battlefield, the battle between Logan, Kane, and the three Demigod vanguards had reached a fever pitch.
Thanks to the Mental Power stabilizer Logan provided, Kane was like a God descending, forcing the Devourer back step by step.
However, the Devourer knew Kane’s condition. If he could just hold on for fifty of Kane’s attacks, he could secure victory.
But when Kane made his thirtieth strike, the Devourer froze in shock.
Kane pulled out a potion bottle, downed it in one gulp, and suddenly, with his energy dropped to only sixty percent, he fully healed. He instantly bounced back to eighty percent of his full combat power and continued to chase the Devourer, hammering him relentlessly.
“Damn it! You cheap bastard! A Demigod actually takes potions! That’s shameful!” the Devourer yelled, running away while cursing.
Meanwhile, Space-Ripper and Soul-Devourer tried multiple times to intervene and join the Devourer to kill Kane.
But Logan simply pulled out the Black Dragon skeleton, the Yepera remains, and the Giant Whale remains right in front of them.
Logan grinned at the two Demigods: “Don’t you think an experienced familiar tamer would just trade blows with you directly?”
At once, Logan summoned the Ancestral Spirits girl. “Bring them all back to life!”
Obeying Logan’s order, the Ancestral Spirits girl waved her hand, releasing a massive cloud of life spores.
Carrying life energy, these spores rushed into the three skeletons instantly.
At the same time, Logan waved his hand again. Millions of tons of energy ore were dumped on the three remains as if they were free.
Soon, the flesh of Yepera, the Black Dragon, and the Giant Whale was restored to its original form.
Logan looked at his work with a grin and then released the three Demigod spiritual bodies from his Soul Sea on the spot.
“These bodies can only be used for twenty-four hours, but enjoy the feeling of being alive for a bit. Consider it an early show of my abilities.”
Yepera, the Black Dragon, and the Giant Whale had already made a pact with Logan.
Seeing that Logan could truly revive them briefly, they all wore expressions of excitement.
“Logan! Don’t worry! It’s just two Demigods, right? We’ll go out and cripple them for you!” Yepera glared fiercely at Soul-Devourer and Space-Ripper, flicking her tongue repeatedly.
The Black Dragon and the Giant Whale fixed their gaze on the two Demigods, letting out a menacing aura of their own.
Suddenly, the situation flipped completely. The roles were reversed for Soul-Devourer and Space-Ripper.
The previous three-vs-two situation became two-vs-three. The two Demigods found themselves being chased and beaten by three Demigod-level monsters. The scene was even more miserable for them than the Devourer’s.
However, Kane and the three resurrected spiritual bodies were not at their peak strength.
They could beat their enemies until they screamed, but they lacked the power to deliver a killing blow in one hit.
For a moment, both sides were stuck in a stalemate, with neither gaining an advantage.
At Restricted Zone 47, the three Demigods had been beaten for a full day and night without breaching Logan and Kane’s defenses. Instead, their energy consumption far exceeded expectations.
Now…
Soul-Devourer’s black vortex had dimmed significantly, Space-Ripper’s crystal body had three new cracks, and the soul-devouring one’s gray mist had thinned out greatly.
The three Demigods instinctively huddled together and quietly discussed a strategy.
First, Soul-Devourer spoke with a sound of metal grinding, tinged with obvious caution: “That human kid’s power is too weird. We can’t take him down in the short term.”
“Keeping up the fight will just drain too much energy, with nothing to show for it. Let’s retreat for now and wait for the Lord to descend.”
The soul-devouring one’s giant gray eye swept over Logan, filled with reluctance. “Didn’t you notice? That thing in Kane’s hand isn’t normal potion. After drinking it, he didn’t just heal; he restored his combat power to its peak.”
Hearing this, Soul-Devourer let out a sigh. “Let’s not talk about it. Those two humans are even scarier. We should retreat for now. Wait for the Lord’s arrival; no one can stand against the Lord.”
Space-Ripper said nothing, but his body flickered a short distance, silently agreeing to the plan.
The three Demigods exchanged glances, then simultaneously withdrew, retreating to a point fifty miles outside the shattered canyon.
The legions of Restricted Zone 47 fell back, but they still kept a circle around the border of Restricted Zone 53. However, they stopped attacking.
Kane’s Demigod body shrank to a height of five meters. Looking at Logan, he spoke in a low voice: “You’ve surprised me again.”
Logan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and then put away the bodies of the three Demigod-level monsters.
At this moment, because he had overexerted his Mental Power, his power level had dropped from an 81-star rating to a 75-star rating.
But Logan’s eyes remained firm: “We didn’t kill them, so they are still a threat. Let’s hurry up. I’ll help you restore your life energy.”
With that, Logan placed his hand on Kane’s back. A massive flow of life energy rushed into Kane’s body, healing his injuries.
At the same time, the legions of Restricted Zone 53, seeing the three Demigods retreat, erupted in deafening cheers.
“We actually won!”
“We pushed back three Demigods!”
“Long live Lord Kane! Long live Lord Logan!”
“It was all thanks to the humans! Long live the Human Zone Alliance!”
…
Logan sat beside Kane. His consciousness quickly calculated the current situation, and his expression remained serious.
In the battle just now, Kane had used up six bottles of Demigod-level mind stabilizers, with six left.
Logan, meanwhile, only had five bottles of stock left.
This meant that Logan and Kane could only endure one more battle of this intensity.
If the intensity went beyond this, both their combat capabilities would drop significantly.
Logan knew perfectly well that the three Demigods from Restricted Zone 47 were just testing the waters. They hadn’t even used their full power.
Thinking of this, Logan sighed: “Today’s victory is just a temporary breather. A greater crisis is yet to come.”
The temporary command center in the shattered canyon.
Logan, Kane, and Violet sat around a rough stone table.
On the table lay the Devouring Rule Fragments collected from the battlefield, as well as the crystal recording the entire battle.
Logan tapped the recording crystal with his fingertip, projecting a playback of the 2v3 skirmish. As he watched, he analyzed the data: “In the battle just now, I lost millions of energy ore, and my Saint-level familiar legions took tens of thousands of casualties. If this happens again, I’ll go bankrupt directly.”
Kane leaned against the rock wall, his gray eyes scanning the playback. He nodded slightly. “Thanks to the potions you provided, you compensated for my weakness in durability. Furthermore, for two hours after taking the medicine, my Destruction Rule efficiency tripled.”
“Of course, you did the most in this battle. If you and the three Demigod spiritual bodies hadn’t blocked the soul-devouring one and Space-Ripper, I couldn’t have fully suppressed Soul-Devourer.”
Hearing this, Logan grinned: “So, are you going to compensate for my losses?”
Kane caught Logan’s meaning and rolled his eyes. “To be honest, my Restricted Zone 53 is even poorer than your humans. Just front the loss for now. I’ll pay you back in installments.”
Thwack!
When Logan heard Kane try to dodge the payment, he slammed the table and stood up. “Are you kidding me? You’re taking advantage of me!”
Kane twitched the corner of his mouth, straightened his neck, and retorted: “Don’t say ’taking advantage’! I’m just telling the truth!”
Logan quickly shook his head: “No way! At least put up some collateral.”
Hearing that, Kane’s face turned red. “Okay, how about I give you the Ancient Beast Clan’s Sky-Splitting Tribe? They’re listening to you anyway, right?”
Seeing Kane get this shameless, Logan just rolled his eyes.
