Custom Made Demon King - Chapter 307
Chapter 307: Behemoths
As dawn broke the next day, the alliance army once again launched a new siege.
Since they had safely defended the first day, the heroes in the city were not too concerned and ordered the army to begin preserving.
However, when they reached the city wall, they saw that dozens of terrifying giant beasts had appeared in the alliance army camp!
These giant beasts were like gorillas squatting in front of the alliance army, but they were far taller than ordinary gorillas. Every one of them was about fourteen to fifteen meters tall, almost equal to the highest points of the city wall of Ur-Hekal!
“Damn it. They’re actually behemoths!” The demon heroes could not help but narrow their eyes when they saw this scene.
These behemoths were covered in thick white fur and looked extremely wild. Their faces looked like gorillas, but they had long fangs sticking out of their mouths. Their lower limbs were short, but their arms were long, so they were hunching over. Their arms were not only long but also very thick. The muscles on their arms bulged, making people have no doubt about their terrifying strength.
But the most terrifying thing was the sharp claws on their palms!
The claws of the behemoths could be considered to have exceeded everyone’s understanding of claws because they did not have fingers. Their claws were their fingers, and each finger was nearly two meters long! Moreover, every finger was emitting a dark luster, seemingly made of metal, and had unimaginable hardness!
The entire world of Ashan recognized behemoths as true dragon killers! Their thick fur could resist magical and physical attacks, and their claws could easily tear apart the scales and bodies of dragons. Behemoths had immense strength!
Although these behemoths were squatting in front of the formation, dozens of incomparably thick chains tied up each of them. Hundreds of orc soldiers were responsible for pulling these chains, almost by force, to make them quiet. But even so, these behemoths were struggling restlessly.
“What do they want to do?” The demon heroes were puzzled. Although they were clear that these terrifying ferocious beasts were tough to deal with war machines, wasn’t it a little silly for the alliance army to send them out before breaking the barrier?
But before the demon heroes could understand, the alliance army’s attack began. Densely packed boulders and ballista bolts attacked, smashing ripples on the barrier.
So the demon heroes did not think too much about it and directed the demon army to counterattack.
However, they did not realize that the hero Zehir had already mixed into the mages of Bracada. He was holding a crystal ball in his left hand and a strange staff in his right.
This crystal ball was not transparent but full of white inside. Clouds and mist filled the crystal ball, and lightning flashed from time to time.
The orb was the Orb of the Firmament, an extraordinary artifact. Holding it could amplify air magic to an extremely formidable degree.
The staff was the Staff of Sar-Issus, an extraordinary artifact. It did not amplify the power of any magic, but it had a unique effect—giving the effect of spell penetration to the caster!
During the siege yesterday, although the alliance army did not break the barrier, it had roughly figured out its magic power flow. And it had already roughly sensed the location of the magic power core in the center of the city.
To put it bluntly, barriers were still a type of magic. Zehir’s idea was simple. Since the power of all kinds of attacks was not enough to break the barrier, then he would pass through it and directly attack the core. As long as he destroyed the core, the barrier would naturally collapse.
However, if he wanted to use magic to attack the center of the city, he had to be close to the city wall. So he could only conceal his identity as a hero, hide among the mages, and do his utmost to get as close as possible.
The approach of the mages inevitably welcomed the magic attacks of the demon heroes, but Zehir was already prepared. With his defense, he forcibly resisted the Meteor Shower and then quickly ran forward under the cover of the flames and smoke.
After he was about ten meters away from the city wall, he stopped and raised the staff and orb high. He expended most of his magic power and summoned a mighty bolt of lightning!
Under the enhancement of the thunder clouds of the storm titans, this bolt of lightning broke through the sky and descended. The moment it appeared, it illuminated the entire city of Ur-Hekal!
This bolt of lightning had a diameter of about ten meters. From afar, it looked like a beam of divine punishment. The moment it descended, none of the heroes of the demon camp could react.
Originally, with the existence of the barrier, even if this mighty bolt of lightning could blast it apart, it would consume most of its energy. In that case, it could at least ensure the safety of the demons in the city. But strangely, after the bolt of lightning descended, it passed through the barrier and smashed into Ur-Hekal!
Boom!!! The moment the roar of the thunder arrived, the eardrums of countless demons in the city burst from the deafening sound. They screamed and clutched their heads while rolling on the ground. But they were still all right. At least they were not dead! At the core of the barrier, the thousands of succubi in charge of supplying magic power to the core did not even make a sound before the lightning directly vaporized them!
The lightning bolt crashed into the ground and then exploded, blasting an enormous black pit at the core of the barrier. If anyone looked at the bottom of the pit at this time, they would find that it was utterly bottomless.
This magic not only smashed the core but also erased the magic formation on the ground. So when a boulder shot from an alliance army catapult reached the original position of the barrier, nothing blocked it any longer. Instead, it flew into the city without any resistance and smashed against the city wall.
This boulder crushed nearly a hundred demons on the city wall into a pile of rotten meat.
The barrier was broken! Seeing this scene, the alliance army could not help but cheer loudly. Then the troops quickly loaded the catapults and ballistas again.
As for the orc troops, they released the chains tied to the behemoths at the command of Gorshak!
Roar! After obtaining freedom, the dozens of behemoths let out fearsome howls and then ran toward the city wall on all four limbs under the urging of the orcs. Their massive tonnage shook the entire battlefield!
With indomitable momentum, these dozens of behemoths first lowered their shoulders and then slammed into the city wall, causing cracks to appear on the solid wall. Then they straightened their bodies and waved their giant arms. They used their terrifying two-meter-long claws to sweep across the wall!
Under the wave of their claws, the demons on the city wall could not even resist and were easily torn into pieces by the sharp claws. Purple blood did not gush out until the demons fell…
Although there were not many of these frightening behemoths, the terrifying effect they brought was obvious. Under their attacks, the demons were in a mess. Several demon heroes roared loudly and even personally killed a few demons before stopping the chaos.
Afterward, the demon heroes began to command the demons to attack the behemoths. They did not have the attention to spare, and it was too late to find the caster of the lightning just now, which allowed Zehir to return safely.
After the barrier broke, the next phase of the battle was naturally melee fighting. As long as the alliance army could attack and kill those demons, the troops would naturally muster their courage.
Zehir completed his mission, and Gem naturally did not want to fall behind. Under her command, gigantic dragons began to flap their wings and fly into the sky from behind the alliance army.
If Roy were here, he would find that these dragons were different from the dragons he had encountered before.
Their bodies were bigger, and the scales on their bodies were darker, especially their thicker and longer dragon horns!
This was because the dragons that Gem brought out were all thousand-year-old dragons, the ultimate combat power of the elves…
