Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 1078

The flames from the monster’s body quickly swept through the entire area!

Those who stood too close weren’t able to prepare themselves in time and instantly got lit on fire without being able to do anything.

The man-headed snake monster cruelly smirked.

「 Death is a necessary step in preparing food 」the monster muttered.

In just a few short moments, the flames had fully engulfed these people’s bodies and turned them into screaming torches.

It could faintly be seen that each of these torches had trapped a transparent soul inside.

The monster inhaled, sucked the flames into its mouth, and swallowed.

——–at the very beginning of the combat, 7-8 people had already been killed and devoured by the monster!

Those who stood far enough to react quickly took distance from the monster and resisted its attacks.

“Everyone, get behind me!” someone loudly shouted.

A mirror-like reflective ice shield appeared in front of him to block the flames.

Those who stood behind him were safe from being burnt.

Another person equipped himself with a black gauntlet and grabbed the approaching fire.

The scorching flames were completely absorbed by the gauntlet.

Everyone displayed their prowess and concentrated on defending against the flames.

On the other side.

—–from the very beginning, Gu Qing Shan had already retreated with Su Xue Er, so when the monster appeared, the two of them were at the very back of the crowd.

They were the ones who stood the furthest away from the attack.

As the flames spread, most of it was prevented by people of various parties, leaving only sparse flames that managed to shoot towards them.

Gu Qing Shan wielded the Earth sword with [Void Slash] and lightly swung down.

The flame was split apart, moving to Gu Qing Shan’s sides.

“Qing Shan, look”

Hiding behind him, Su Xue Er silently whispered.

Gu Qing Shan followed the direction where Su Xue Er was pointing.

Only to see the masked cultivators standing still.

The flames were automatically avoiding them.

Gu Qing Shan noticed it quite clearly.

These people haven’t performed any defensive maneuvers and still managed to avoid the flame attacks.

Why?

Gu Qing Shan’s gaze focused on the hand of one of them.

Only to see him holding a strange-looking badge.

These cultivators from a parallel world gradually approached the monster.

“Following the agreement, we have come”

The leader of the group stated.

The monster saw the badge in his hand and nodded: 「 Indeed, you may enter 」

The monster moved its giant body to make just enough way for them to enter.

The cultivators started walking towards the gap.

The monster blinked, then turned back to look at the others on the square and asked: 「 Are there any more of your people? 」

One cultivator answered indifferently: “No, they’re all your food”

Saying so, they went past the monster and entered the secret passage.

The monster slithered around the square.

「 All… food…」

Its gaze swept through the entire square as drool dripped from its mouth.

Gu Qing Shan scowled.

Those guys from the parallel world had contact with this monster from the secret passage.

Wasn’t this place sealed by Reneedol’s curse for a hundred million years?

Or maybe, there were fewer and fewer consuming demons of Primal Chaos as the curse weakened, which allowed them to contact the monsters inside?

While he was thinking the monster had already made its move.

It opened its mouth wide and spat a viscous liquid towards the entire square.

This time, everyone was significantly more careful and quickly avoided it.

However, the viscous liquid seemed to be sentient as it aimed specifically for the orifices of the people below.

Those who were struck quickly collapsed, their bodies turned into a bloody pulp that was then sucked into the monster’s mouth.

「 Hmm, delectable, next…」

The monster moved about, licking its lips with a long snake tongue.

All of a sudden, it swiped backward with its claw.

A shadow that had just ran past its body was caught.

This was a fellow who had the ability to conceal himself, seemingly decided to run into the secret passage as the monster attacked everyone else.

But the monster noticed him.

“Save—–”

The man only managed to utter a single word before being chewed and devoured alive by the monster.

The entire area turned silent.

This monster was too cautious, and who knew how many other hunting abilities that it hadn’t displayed yet.

But everyone here had already lost all of their powers, leaving only a single ability left.

How are they supposed to fight now?

At the back of the square, Su Xue Er lightly tapped Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.

“Qing Shan, it looks like that monster wants to eat us”

She said in a whisper.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “Hm, it’s going to be a really tough battle. Coming up, I’ll handle the fighting, just stay behind me”

Su Xue Er chuckled: “Don’t look down on me now”

She stuck close to Gu Qing Shan’s body and drew her crimson Card.

At this point, Su Xue Er couldn’t help but recall the words that her teacher taught her as she left Triste’s collection world.

——-actually, Gu Qing Shan and I are a really good duo in combat.

“Protect me” Su Xue Er muttered.

She tossed the crimson Card forward, shouting: “Bloodsea Divine Arm, manifest!”

The crimson Card manifested into a large bloody glow that converged into a giant sword.

As soon as the sword appeared, it had flown across the entire square to slash the monster.

Bam!

The giant bloody sword pounded the monster into the ground.

「 AAaarrrg! YOU’RE DEAD! 」

The monster roared as it stood up, its head now turned into a giant gaping maw full of teeth that looked straight at Su Xue Er.

At this point, the giant sword had scattered into dark red light and returned in front of Su Xue Er.

“Again!” Su Xue Er shouted.

The bloody light glowed bright and once again converged into a weapon.

Observing the newly manifested weapon, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help asking: “Didn’t it turn into a giant sword? Why is it a mace now?”

Su Xue Er explained: “The Omnispirit Demon Slaying Sword is powerful, but I can only ask for help from each Divine Arm once, so now I called for the Ancient Dragon Slayer Mace”

“A mace… can slay a dragon?”

“Why not? Its background is quite considerable”

While they spoke, the glowing red mace had swung down from above and struck the monster’s chest.

The air was shaken by the shockwaves.

The monster was sent flying and crashed into the wall.

The dim crimson glow returned, then was once again activated by Su Xue Er to manifest a bloody battle-axe.

Gu Qing Shan’s eyes twitched.

No wonder those people from before were practically burning with greed, this Card is really powerful.

The others weren’t staying idle either.

Someone loudly called out: “Everyone, we need to band together and fight!”

As the first person suggested that, several others followed up:

“That’s right! That monster wants to eat all of us, if we still refuse to cooperate, wouldn’t we be idiots?”

“Indeed, let’s all charge forward together!”

Gu Qing Shan heard a voice he was familiar with.

As he followed the voice, he saw the other party had taken off his hood to reveal a dignified appearance.

Hazeden.

The King of Sky Haze Kingdom.

The Card user that he met during his battle in Huang Quan.

The person who spoke up first to rally everyone was him.

“Strange, why is he here as well…?”

Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself.

At this point, Hazeden had already made his move.

He tossed out a Card engraved full of gems.

Bam!

White mist exploded.

Hazeden formed a summoning seal with his hands and shouted: “One battle, two mages, three cavalry, four archers, five shieldsmen.

Poof poof poof poof poof!

Several figures appeared once after another within the exploded mist.

——they were a total of 15 heroic spirits who wielded intricate armor, weapons, and shields.

Hazeden’s eyes turned cold.

“Insect who can’t even decide to be human or monster, you dared stand in his king’s path, go to hell”

He made a gesture to attack.
