Chapter 40: Surrounding and Killing the Horned Demon - Two Fists Can't Fight Eight Hands
Meanwhile, outside the simulated battlefield, the students watching the Ark battle livestream were once again deeply impressed by Ark's flawless combat style.
The eight apprentice-level demons in the Abyss difficulty [Little Demon Camp] tormented Ye Fan, Meng Hongzhuang, and other outstanding new students to the point of despair, forcing them to temporarily give up.
At this very moment, Ark is facing 11 Lesser Demons head-on, including several elite Lesser Demons at the Apprentice level, yet it wins decisively, as if it were effortless.
The gap between them is simply too great!
They asked themselves honestly, with their current strength, let alone breaking through the formation alone like Fang Zhou, even if three people went in together, they would probably have a hard time withstanding the attack of these 11 lesser demons.
The prototype of a necromancer forming an army on his own has already begun to emerge in the Ark.
......
As the team ventured deeper into the area, Fangzhou clearly felt that the stench of sulfur in the air was gradually intensifying.
At the end of the right corridor, just like the left corridor, is a tightly closed door.
The sulfurous smell here was so strong that it caused intense irritation to the Ark's projection, affecting its eyes and nose.
This pungent smell can, to some extent, reflect the strength of a demon.
Looks like there's a big one ahead.
Fangzhou gripped his staff, ready for battle.
He was preparing to command the skeletons to break down the door when a frenzied roar suddenly came from inside the room.
The door was pushed open by a red claw, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway.
This tall demon has a pair of long, fiery red horns on its head, which look like two sharp daggers pointed at its head.
Its body is exceptionally strong, nearly three meters tall, and when it stands upright, its head can almost touch the ceiling.
Its strong, well-developed muscles were covered with a layer of fiery red scales, and its large mouth was filled with sharp, barbed teeth.
This is the main combat unit of the Abyss Demons: the Horned Demon!
Horned demons usually possess Iron-level strength, but in this simulated battlefield, they were suppressed to the mid-apprentice level.
Nevertheless, its combat power is comparable to that of a final boss compared to other lesser demons of the same level.
"Kill, die, eat!"
The horned demon let out a muffled roar, and when it looked at the Ark with its crimson eyes, it radiated more of a hungry appetite than a ferocious killing intent.
No one would be happy to be stared at like that by such a ferocious demon, and Ark was no exception.
"All troops, charge!"
Ark gave the battle order, and the skeletons in front of him let out a cold roar and charged towards the Horned Demon.
Although there were only a few dozen of them, it felt like a mountain of corpses and a sea of bones were being crushed over them.
The corridor was built to fit human figures, making it rather narrow for the enormous horned demon.
Faced with the skeletons' attack, the horned demon had no way to avoid it. It roared and swung its arms to forcefully push away the two skeletons in front of it, but several skeletons behind it managed to get close.
The horned demon's muscles were incredibly tough, and they were covered with a very sturdy layer of scales.
The skull's sharp bone claws managed to pierce through the demon's protective skin, but they only penetrated less than three centimeters into the muscle before getting stuck and unable to go any further.
A painful scream came from the horned demon's mouth, followed by its frantic flailing of its arms.
Upon seeing this, Fangzhou's expression changed slightly, and he immediately manipulated the skeleton in front of him to retreat.
But he was a little too late. The two skeletons who had just won their kill were about to retreat when they were grabbed tightly by the horned demon's two hands.
The two skeletons struggled desperately, but both their physical and strength attributes were far weaker than the horned demon's, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't budge or break free.
The other three skeletons rushed to the aid, and under Ark's command, they pounced on the horned demon's soft, vulnerable abdomen.
The horned demon grinned maliciously, clenching its fists tightly. The two skeletons' soul flames were crushed by the sudden burst of force, scattering into a pile of bones.
Immediately afterwards, the horned demon swung its fist, and another skeleton flew into the air, its head slamming hard against the ceiling of the corridor.
The sound of bones breaking was clearly heard; its skull shattered, its soul fire extinguished, and it died on the spot.
In a close contest, the brave prevail, and Fangzhou naturally understood this principle.
His face was cold and ruthless as he methodically directed the endless stream of skeletons surging towards the Horned Demon.
Skeletons are nothing but cannon fodder!
No matter how many you kill, I'll summon just as many!
Another skeleton plunged its bone claws into the horned demon's thick thigh. In pain, the horned demon grabbed the skeleton's body, lifted it up, slammed it to the ground, and then stomped on it with a heavy foot.
Click.
As the skeleton perished, a cold glint flashed in Fangzhou's eyes as he spotted the horned demon's weakness.
He swiftly brandished his staff, [Bone Shackles]!
Four thick skeletal chains extended from the void, firmly binding the horned demon's limbs.
The horned demon knew something was wrong, so it roared to the sky and struggled desperately.
Enduring the immense drain on his mental energy, Ark simultaneously wrestled with the Horned Demon using the [Bone Shackles] while conjuring three bone spears.
laugh!laugh!laugh!
Amidst a sharp, piercing sound, three [Skeleton Spears] shot towards the horned demon's left eye, its chest, and its ribs, where the demon's flesh was torn apart by the skeletons.
Bone shackles and the skeleton army tightly bound the horned demon, barely managing to turn its head to dodge the bone spear aimed at its left eye, but two other bone spears pierced its chest and ribs.
Armor-piercing, putrefactive, and death energy!
Under the triple damage of the bone spear, the horned demon's prized scale armor defense was as fragile as paper.
Seeing this, Fang Zhou gave a cold smile and shouted, "Explode!"
boom!
Amidst the horned demon's agonizing screams, explosive fragments of bone engulfed its upper body.
Not only were most of its sturdy scales charred and fell off, but even the pair of sharp horns on its forehead were broken off.
The wounded horned demon roared wildly, no longer displaying its former ferocity. Taking advantage of the moment the skeletal shackles dissipated, it cowered and retreated into the room behind it.
Fang Zhou was prepared. He waved his staff, and the skeleton army charged fearlessly toward the heavily wounded horned demon.
Several bone claws thrust out at once; this time, the horned demon had no sturdy scales to block the skeleton's attacks.
It managed to block a few attacks before being tackled to the ground by a group of skeletons.
The horned demon grunted, its wildly waving hands stopping abruptly. Ark seized the opportunity and fired two more [Bone Spears].
One spear pierced the horned demon's thick neck, its tip protruding from the back, while the other plunged directly into its eye socket.
The horned demon let out a final roar, its blood-red eyes lost their light, its massive body swayed and staggered back a few steps before crashing to the ground.
