Lord of the Oasis - Chapter 237

Chapter 237: Trapped Demons of Hell

In the blink of an eye, the front row of the two sides had already come into contact.

The sharp tip of the spear had a faint golden glow. It was still like a hot knife cutting into cold butter. It was effortless. Black blood splattered everywhere, piercing through the chest and skull of the demonized creature.

The heavy cavalry of Swadia held their lance tightly with one hand, clenching their teeth as they endured the force of the charge.

The horseshoes knocked heavily against the stone floor.

The rumbling sound of the group charge slowly decreased as the two clashed.

The charge ended.

Right behind the group of heavy cavalry of Swadia, corpses lay on the stone floor like minced meat. They were demonized creatures that had been trampled by the horseshoes and were badly mutilated.

Facing the charge of the heavy cavalry, these demonized creatures were slaughtered!

“Stop moving forward!”

Kant tightened the reins and controlled the warhorse under him to slow down.

At the same time, he turned the horse around and led the heavy cavalry behind him to draw a beautiful arc. The warhorse trotted and changed the direction of the charge. It continued to aim at the remaining 200 demonized creatures and charged again!

They were well-trained heavy cavalry.

When a wave of charge could not defeat the enemy, they could organize a second charge.

They could launch a charge that would completely destroy the enemy again and again!

For example, the next charge.

The remaining demonized creatures continued to be slaughtered easily. The heavy cavalry of Swadia stepped over the corpses of the demonized creatures. The rumbling sound of horse hooves shook. Even the black negative energy gemstone in the heart was trampled out, along with the fluorescent mushrooms and faint moss that were emitting a little light, the black gemstone still had some strange light on it.

However, Kant didn’t care about these negative energy gemstones, or even the demonized creatures he killed in the ancient passage, because these gemstones would be his sooner or later.

Now, he had to face that guy in the city wall.

The smoke-like dust slowly fell.

The originally huge body finally appeared in front of everyone.

The six-meter-tall body displayed the strength contained within its body. Its dark red skin was filled with muscles, and pitch-black scales were embedded in its chest, arms, and thighs. However, on its ferocious head, the two long horns that were coiled up like a goat were even more eye-catching, including the scarlet light in its eyes that carried the deepest madness and cruelty.

This was not a human at all, or rather, it had nothing to do with humans at all. When Kant saw this terrifying monster, his pupils constricted slightly, and he did not even give any orders.

However, the heavy cavalry behind him still lined up neatly according to their usual training.

“Harrumph…”

The warhorse beneath them snorted uneasily, and its hooves were also scratching the ground.

But the riders were feeling uneasy.

In the eyes under the helmet, the confidence that they had gained from easily slaughtering the demonized creatures had dissipated at this moment. They did not even dare to breathe aloud. They quietly got into formation and looked at the monster on the city wall.

A monster that had never appeared in the continent of Caradia!

But the mage apprentices recognized it.

They panted slightly.

The hands of the seven mage apprentices holding the reins and staffs were trembling.

Obviously, they were greatly shocked in their hearts.

“Hell Demon.” The leading mage apprentice said softly. Fortunately, his mind was still rational and allowed him to come to Kant’s side, he reported in a trembling voice, “My Lord, that is the strongest hell demon among the forces of hell! It is far from… far from something that we can oppose!”

“I know.”

Kant nodded. Although his tone was calm, there were still some fluctuations in his tone.

His heart was not as calm as his expressionless face.

This was indeed a Hell Demon.

That huge body, sharp teeth, violent emotions, and chaotic fluctuations all proved this point.

Not to mention that there were even more conspicuous goat horns, bat-like wings on his back, and as that huge mouth breathed, a faint dark red flame spewed out from his nostrils. A faint smell of sulfur filled the air along with the strong smell of blood.

Kant slowly raised his right hand, signaling for the heavy cavalry behind him to be quiet. At the same time, he looked at the gigantic body that had yet to step out from within the city walls and ordered softly, “Prepare to retreat.”

“Understood,” the heavy cavalry replied. However, their voices were not loud, because they did not have enough confidence.

They, who were good at regular combat, did not have the experience of dealing with such a terrifying demon.

Now, even if they were trapped in the most complicated area of the Rhodoks Mountains, engaging in brutal physical combat with the endless Rhodoks soldiers, they were not willing to continue standing there, just like a fool confronting the Hell Demon.

This made them feel an absurd madness in their hearts.

There were no such creatures as demons on the continent of Caradia, but there were similar legends.

But now, they were really confronting the legends.

In fact, even Kant, who had experienced the bombardment of movies and TV shows in his previous life, and the mage apprentices who had studied hell in detail in the Emfath Empire, were also facing this kind of Hell Demon for the first time.

It should be known that the female succubus Kant met last time was a demon of the same species.

But she was more like a hot beauty with a curious appearance.

Unlike this gigantic Hell Demon, one could even vaguely see that she was standing among the ruins of the city wall, holding a huge broken sword with countless strange runes in her hand. She looked like she could rush up at any time and brutally chop them into pieces, she drank their blood and tasted their terrifying appearance!

However, these heavy cavalry soldiers retreated decisively. The mage apprentices also softly reminded this group of heavy cavalry soldiers to leave quickly. When they thought of the strength of the hell demon in their impression, their hearts trembled even more.

High-level hell demons were completely unafraid of low-level spells.

The technical term was —

Magic Immunity!

Therefore, these Hell Demons were natural enemies of mages. If it weren’t for the Emfath Empire and the religious inquisition, where those crazy and devout monks could use the holy light to suppress the demons, this powerful human empire would probably have been destroyed long ago, when the hell demons invaded.

But even now, the mages in the Mage Tower still deeply detested the Hell Demons. Therefore, not only did the mages and archmages use powerful destructive spells, they also learned summoning spells.

The purpose was to solve the innate immunity of these demons to magic.

The activated weapons and natural elements that were summoned could at least resist these cruel hell demons, so that these mages would not appear to be useless when facing the forces of hell.

But just as Kant was about to leave and did not intend to touch the city wall directly…

The Hell Demon at the ruins of the city wall turned its gaze to Kant.

As if it knew that he was the leader, its mouth full of sharp teeth opened and closed. It was somewhat unfamiliar, but the human language was absolutely clear. “Hey, human noble over there, are you planning to leave just like that?”

Kant suddenly turned his head.

And the Hell Demon at the ruins of the city wall seemed to have sensed his horror.

Sulfur with sparks sprayed out of its nostrils.

The brutality in its eyes faded a little, but what appeared was a little cunning.

It slowly opened its mouth, the mouth full of sharp teeth spoke in the human language that anyone could understand. “The glory of the gods has dissipated, and darkness is about to engulf the world. Do you want to submit to me? I will grant you the supreme power of a demon, free from the short lifespan of a hundred years, grasp the magic that can corrode rock layers, and obtain a new life.”

The voice reverberated in the large cavern space, rolling like thunder, but it was not ear-piercing. Instead, it carried a scent that could bewitch people’s hearts. It seeped into Kant’s ears as if it was a lure.

“My Lord.”

But the mage apprentices came to Kant’s side and warned him in a stern voice, “Demons are cunning. You can’t trust them!”

“Yes, I know.” Kant nodded.

Even without the mage apprentice’s reminder, Kant would not have been fooled.

After all, he had received the education from his previous life. The secret fights with the noble families in this life had also trained his psychological quality and skills. Rather than believing in the so-called wishes of the demons, he would rather believe in the promises of the human noble families.

At least the human noble families could leave his corpse intact.

“Let’s go.”

Kant turned the horse’s head, and without any hesitation, he lightly knocked the horse’s belly and prepared to leave.

But a voice came from the ruins of the city wall, it made him pause slightly. “Hey, human, I know that this is no longer the era of the past. The gods are no longer able to make you grovel on the ground and beg for forgiveness and grace. Now, we can work together because I have just been resurrected in this era and need supplies and help. If you are willing to help me, I can pay for it. For example, gold, which you humans have always loved.”

“I heard something.” Kant pulled the reins slightly. His expression was calm, but he turned his head to look at the gigantic Hell Fiend. He couldn’t help but snicker in a low voice, “And gold?”

Even though they were far away, the Hell Fiend heard Kant snickering in a low voice.

“That’s right. Gold, yellow and orange cutie. I used to have many gold mines.”

The Hell Fiend at the ruins of the city wall also laughed in a low voice. It was rough and terrifying, however, its voice was even more alluring. “Noble of the human race, do you see that round plate on the pyramid? As long as you get someone to pluck it or destroy it, I can give you 100 bags of gold. They are all gold coins of the highest purity.”

“My Lord.” Seeing that their lord had actually stopped retreating and was even planning to make a deal with the demon, the mage apprentices could not help but urge, “We should go.” The voice was somewhat hurried.

“But I think this is an opportunity for cooperation.”

Kant turned his horse’s head and looked at the infernal demon in the ruins.

After a slight pause, he asked, “It seems that you are unable to personally walk out of this underground city, nor are you able to personally touch the disc on the pyramid?”

“Although this is very awkward, it is indeed so.” The infernal demon did not hide it. “Now is the age of Chaos, and my power has already declined. I need to accumulate power in order to recover to my peak. Otherwise, this temple of the sun and this underground city with the sacred sun pattern engraved on it would not be able to trap me.”

“I see.”Kant nodded. “This means that you can’t come out now.”

The infernal demon seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.

He narrowed his scarlet eyes slightly, and a violent power instantly swept out, turning into a light wind that carried the smell of sulfur as it blew past Kant’s side, the hair at his temples fluttered. “But even if I can’t go out now, once I’ve accumulated enough power, this small underground city won’t be able to stop me.”

“Oh, that’s great.”

Kant chuckled, pulled the reins to the side, turned the horse around, and left. “We’ll meet again.”
