The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1800: Evil Sickle

Looking at the battlefield from above, he finally realized where the enemies came from.

A gigantic cavern materialized on the ground not far from the Western Army Corps’ position. Abyssal creatures were pouring out from the mouth like a cascade.

There was no doubt that the creatures came from underground.

It was no longer important for him to find out how these creatures got out while concealing their auras. The most important thing now was to find a way to hold these abyssal creatures back.

Meanwhile, a humanoid abyssal creature suddenly leaped high up into the air from underground. It was aiming for Dong Zian in the sky.

Its appearance was only slightly similar to that of a human being, having a head and four limbs. However, its pair of forearms were completely different from a human’s. Its forearms were two giant sickle-shaped blades glimmering with dark yellow radiance. Moreover, this ‘human’ was about five meters in height. It had a pair of folded wings that appeared extremely thin on its back, but its movements were unusually swift.

It arrived at the front of Dong Zian’s divine mecha in a flash, it’s sickle blades slicing at his mecha.

Dong Zian was a great general with much combat experience, and his Ferocious Wolf mecha dodged sideways in the sky. At the same time, the mecha raised its front claw and shot out a few dozen light rays at lightning speed. The rays formed a deadly net before heading toward the opponent.

However, the creature was too quick. In fact, it was even faster than Dong Zian’s divine mecha. Its body spun around in the sky like a top. The spinning motion made his forearms pulse with residual shadows that cut through the soul beam net. It arrived before the Ferocious Wolf mecha in the next moment.

All of a sudden, the abyssal creature with sickle forearms paused. Its entire body trembled as if it was electrocuted. In the next moment, Dong Zian’s Ferocious Wolf mecha slammed into it in a savagely ferocious manner.

“Boom!” The abyssal creature was blasted away by the impact. Even so, the creature’s body flickered in the sky as it flew backward, and it vanished into thin air just like that.

Such a powerful abyssal creature?

Even though Dong Zian could clearly feel that there was still some disparity between the opponent’s abilities and his own, the opponent’s speed had actually surpassed his Ferocious Wolf mecha. This abyssal creature would simply massacre ordinary mechas!

He was astonished by the realization. Meanwhile, the battle on the ground was already in full swing.

There were more than thirty giant bull-like abyssal creatures, over a hundred meters in length, charging into the defense line first. They wreaked havoc with their enormously long horns and their entire bodies were covered in incredibly thick and heavy scales. Ordinary soul beams and soul cannons would not stop them even for a moment.

Judging by their defense, they were not as powerful as the Guardian Longhorn Beetles, but the beetles were far weaker than them in offensive power. The biggest difference between them and the Guardian Longhorn Beetles was that they were incapable of flying.

These abyssal creatures were known as the Abyssal Mammoths! They were the most ferocious chargers on the abyssal plane’s battlefield. The Abyssal Mammoths did not manage to get into the passage and arrived during the catastrophe brought by the abyssal plane six thousand years ago due to their formidable overall strength. This was their first time coming to the Douluo Continent plane.

The Abyssal Mammoth lived on the thirteenth level of the abyssal plane. They were relatively fewer in number, but their offensive and defensive abilities were outstanding. They were one of the main fighting forces of the abyssal creatures on the battlefield.

On the other hand, the abyssal creature that delivered a surprise attack to Dong Zian earlier was even more powerful! It was known as the Abyssal Evil Sickle!

The Abyssal Evil Sickles lived on the fifth level of the abyss. They were one of the most terrifying species of abyssal creature. They had the power to control space and they were most skilled in assassination. They were also absolutely loyal supporters of the abyssal Sage King and they were known as the abyssal prosecutors.

Every Abyssal Evil Sickle possessed the abilities that surpassed mankind’s Title Douluos. One could imagine how terrifying these creatures were.

Both the Abyssal Mammoths and the Abyssal Evil Sickles were the truly elite fighting forces of the abyssal plane. It was their first time actively fighting in this war.

The Western Army Corps’ mecha troop was the first to engage these creatures in the air.

Over a thousand mechas took the lead to charge into the battlefield. The commanders of each mecha battalion piloted black mechas. They blasted all sorts of soul beams and soul cannons at the abyssal creatures.

Meanwhile, phantom-like figures arrived next to the abyssal creatures.

At over five meters tall, the Abyssal Evil Sickles were smaller than the mechas. Nevertheless, their speed was extreme. They moved so swiftly that it was hard to see them with the naked eye.

With almost every flicker, a mecha was bisected through the waist and fell from the sky. Over thirty Abyssal Evil Sickles were airborne killing machines. Where these creatures passed, mechas rained down from above.

On the other hand, the Abyssal Mammoths were charging everywhere, but they were not the creatures that were creating the most destruction. That was the vassal clan that followed by their side, the Abyssal Mantes!

These Abyssal Mantes looked rather similar to praying mantes, but they were not completely the same. The mantes in the Douluo Continent had long, slender bodies that moved swiftly. Moreover, they could fly.

These Abyssal Mantes did not have any wings, but they possessed thick, strong legs that allowed them to leap. Every Abyssal Mantis was about three meters in length, but its pair of large axe-like front legs were over two meters long. Their bodies were short, thick and heavy, and their ability to jump was shocking. Their striking speed was exceedingly quick as well.

After the Abyssal Mammoths broke the sturdy defense, these Abyssal Mantes surged into the breach like tidewater and savagely destroyed everything within reach.

This was the truly terrifying part of the situation. A horrible aura filled the air, and it felt as if the entire world had turned dark gray.

The Western Army Corps’ attack did result in rather severe fatalities for the abyssal creatures, yet the abyssal creatures still had shocking defenses.

The main fighting forces of this particular surprise attack came from the three clans of the Abyssal Mammoth, the Abyssal Evil Sickle and the Abyssal Mantis. Only these three clans had the ability to dig and move underground at high speed.

The Abyssal Evil Sickles utilized their ability to control space to deceive all the detection devices and brought the abyssal troop to the Western Army Corps. Their goal was very simple: they came to cause destruction. They were going to destroy the entire Western Army Corps’ defensive line.

There was a shimmering silver radiance and the ringing sound of metal clashing. An Abyssal Evil Sickle’s front leg was blocked to save a purple mecha from certain doom.

The silver radiance soon turned into glowing figures that filled the sky and covered a large space around the area.

The Abyssal Evil Sickle noticed that something was wrong. Silver radiance flickered on its wings as it was about to flee into space. However, it immediately noticed that the surrounding space was completely sealed.

A woman clad in magnificent silver armor stood before the Abyssal Evil Sickle. Her cold gaze swept past it once. In the next moment, the spear’s radiance that filled the sky enshrouded the Evil Sickle.

The Abyssal Evil Sickle deserved its reputation as the powerful creature from the fifth level of the abyss. It drew its body back abruptly. Soon afterward, its pair of front claws thrust forward at lightning speed over a hundred times. It was like a storm in the sky.

Dark yellow radiance shimmered from its front claws, and the effect was almost bewitching. It could actually use the light to blind the opponent from seeing its front claws’ strikes.

What a waste that its opponent was too powerful.

The air surrounding it turned into its enemy. Its front claws suddenly stopped for a moment during the high-speed stabbing. In the next moment, the air exploded and compressed around its body to stop it from moving. There was a silver radiance as the dazzling silver spear penetrated its chest.

The Evil Sickle’s body exploded with a loud boom. It turned into the rarely seen dark yellow mist and was about to flee. An abyssal creature of its rank was not only capable of turning itself into abyssal energy to flee. It could also turn itself into a soul that retained its cognitive functions and consciousness. When it was resurrected, it would still be its original self.

Unfortunately for this one, the Silver Dragon Spear was right in front of it.
