The Lazy Demon King Definitely Won’t Meet the Retired Sword Saint – Chapter 238

Chapter: Chapter 240

What does it feel like to fight an incredibly powerful, rampaging monster?

Frost felt that she could now answer that question: it was the feeling of having to keep your mind tensed, or you would die.

Yang, sitting beside her, was already covered in sweat. The young man was gripping the joystick tightly, controlling the Black Wing as it narrowly dodged attacks from all directions.

Even one of these attacks hitting the Black Wing would cause this aircraft, known for its sturdiness, to crash directly from the sky.

Sasha had already jumped out of the Black Wing, cooperating with Bai Ling to distract the monster. However, the effect was clearly not great. The monster had far too many tentacles. Even though Sasha and Bai Ling had already held back a large number of tentacles, the remaining ones were more than enough for the Black Wing to handle.

“I think we’re about to crash!” Frost shouted, grabbing the armrest. “If it doesn’t work, let’s activate our awakenings!”

But Yang was still trying hard to adapt to the monster’s attack rhythm. The massive aircraft was as agile as a bird in his hands, weaving through the torrential attacks, and even retaliating occasionally, breaking off a few thinner tentacles.

This superb piloting skill opened Frost’s eyes. She had originally thought Yang was just an ordinary member of the Divine Seat, but she didn’t expect him to have such an ability. He was an ace pilot!

No wonder the organization had so generously allocated the Black Wing to them, it was because Yang, this big shot, was here to back them up.

“Frost, break the tentacles in front!” Yang shouted.

Without any hesitation, Frost’s hands aimed the crosshairs forward and she immediately pressed the fire button.

A white beam of light shattered the suddenly appearing tentacles, and Yang immediately seized the opportunity, flying out of this temporary opening.

Seeing new tentacles constantly appearing around them, Yang’s expression was grim: “What about the promised support? If this continues, I fear we’ll all be dragged to death here.”

“I actually think even if support arrives, it won’t be useful in this situation,” Frost muttered, looking at the two other locations where huge noises were occurring.

Infinite regeneration, absurd attack power, and defense. Even worse, they were not facing the monster’s main body, but an energy form manipulated by the monster.

They were fighting for their lives in this place, while the monster was just expending some energy. It wasn’t even certain if this was considered expenditure.

The black storm had completely enveloped this sea area. This bizarre storm seemed to be able to re-utilize the energy from the broken tentacles. If they couldn’t find a way to eliminate the storm, they might not even be able to injure the monster even if they fought until they died.

Sasha and Bai Ling also knew this. They were currently searching for the monster’s main body. These tentacles made of energy were not a threat to them, but being held here meant they definitely couldn’t win.

“Damn it, I can’t sense the monster’s main body at all.” The pages in her hand fluttered in the wind, shooting out golden beams that turned the surrounding tentacles into mist. Sasha’s brows were deeply furrowed. Her energy consumption rate was not slow. If this continued, she definitely wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.

She had to find a way to break the deadlock.

However, as long as this monster kept its main body hidden, these energy bodies would be enough to deal with the girls here. At this point, the best method for the monster would be to stall, to drag it out until Sasha and the Black Wing ran out of steam, and then it could finish the fight with ease.

Of course, all of this would be under the premise that it possessed the intelligence to think.

So the question was, did the monster currently have the intelligence to think?

Boom! An unusually thick black tentacle shot out from beneath the sea surface, aiming directly at Sasha.

Sasha didn’t realize the difference in this tentacle either. She simply fired a beam with the same force as before, but the result made her turn pale with shock.

The light beam hit the black tentacle, and not even a scratch was left. This tentacle was definitely not normal!

Realizing this, Sasha quickly cast a shield spell and dodged to the side.

But how could the monster’s well-planned attack be so easily dodged? The giant tentacle nimbly changed its attack trajectory in mid-air, hitting precisely on Sasha’s evasion path.

The shield was shattered in an instant. Fortunately, the explosion from the shield’s fragmentation pushed Sasha back a distance, allowing her to narrowly dodge the attack.

However, Sasha’s condition was still not good. Although her body was not injured, the sudden shattering of the shield caused a tremor in her internal energy, making her almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Her aura was considerably weaker than before. Sasha already felt the urge to retreat. If they continued fighting, they might really be annihilated here.

The tentacle, after failing in its sneak attack, still refused to give up. It was gathering power to attack Sasha again, but this time a sword energy interrupted its charge-up.

Bai Ling, who had been paying attention to all the battlefields, couldn’t help Sasha immediately, but now she wouldn’t let this tentacle complete its charge-up under her nose.

“Miss Bai, this should be a tentacle from the monster’s main body. That guy is likely right beneath our feet!” Sasha shouted to Bai Ling.

Beneath their feet? Bai Ling looked down at the dark ocean below. She was also feeling troubled now. This monster could be said to be the most troublesome enemy she had ever encountered.

More troublesome than the Fog God.

The Fog God at least stood in front of her and would be injured by her attacks. But this monster didn’t even show its face, just manipulated black energy tentacles to wear them down.

Her uncharged sword energy, even if it hit a monster’s main body like the one just now, would only cause a wound that would heal completely in a few seconds.

She had never fought such a frustrating battle. Bai Ling’s mood was not good.

“Miss Bai, let’s fight and retreat. We can’t handle this monster by ourselves at all. Being dragged here is definitely not an option!” Sasha shattered the tentacles surrounding her and quickly moved closer to Bai Ling. “Why don’t we leave here first and then make plans slowly.”

“Well, that’s assuming we can leave.” Bai Ling nodded. She knew when to fight and when not to fight. The current situation clearly meant they couldn’t fight.

Fleeing quickly was the best strategy.

“We have to at least try. Let’s go in this direction. This is towards land, but it’s not close to Binhai City. Even if the monster lands, it won’t cause much harm,” Sasha pointed in one direction and said. “If it comes ashore, it will be much easier to fight.”

At least it couldn’t hide itself in the sea anymore.

“The environment here is really unpleasant,” Leticia muttered to herself as she traversed through the pouring rain, frowning.

Cyan energy currents coiled around her, not only increasing her speed but also blowing away the falling raindrops, saving her the magic power for another shield.

In this endless black world, she had been flying for a very, very long time. According to her own judgment, she should have already approached the core of the storm by now.

However, she couldn’t sense any battle aura at all. The area around her was completely calm, as if the battle had already ended.

The battle had ended? Impossible, it was still raining heavily. That monster was definitely not dead.

If the outcome of the battle was a loss for Bai Ling, then Leticia felt that the current situation wouldn’t be so calm. The monster should have charged directly towards land, meaning she would have run headfirst into it.

But now, there was no trace of the monster’s aura. Here, it was as calm as if it were still on the edge of the storm. It was truly baffling.

As she sped across the sky, Leticia looked around somewhat confused. She suspected she might have gone in the wrong direction, otherwise, there was no reason she couldn’t sense any battle aura here.

As she looked, she saw a tiny white dot floating on the sea surface.

Upon closer inspection, Leticia’s expression became much more interesting. This tiny white dot turned out to be Yi Yujun’s aircraft, which she had only seen last night.

She immediately changed direction, and in the next moment, Leticia was above this white aircraft. She looked down at the aircraft, which was clearly still functioning, and wondered why it had fallen here.

As if detecting the life signs from above, the aircraft’s skylight opened a small gap, and Yi Yujun’s small face, wearing an embarrassed expression, appeared in Leticia’s vision.

“Your Majesty Leticia, what a coincidence,” the divine envoy raised her hand and greeted Leticia.

Leticia raised an eyebrow. This girl was still inside? “What’s wrong, did you crash?”

Before Yi Yujun could speak, the girl operating the aircraft beside her chimed in, “We tried to break through the wind wall at the core of the storm earlier, but this aircraft couldn’t withstand it, so we fell.”

“Hmm? You said the core of the storm?” Leticia looked into the distance. Why couldn’t she see anything? No storm core, no cloud wall, not even a shadow.

“Yes, it was originally the core of the storm, but not long ago, the storm began to move. It’s heading in that direction.” Yi Yujun climbed out of the cockpit and pointed in a direction, saying to Leticia, “That’s an unpopulated area. I think Lady Sasha and the others are intentionally luring the monster there.”

Luring it to an unpopulated area on land? Leticia touched her chin and pondered. It seemed the battle situation was not optimistic. Otherwise, with Bai Ling’s personality, she wouldn’t have made such a choice to retreat.

A monster that could fight a god to a mutual defeat was indeed extraordinary.

Bai Ling was just a powerful mortal. Unlike Leticia, she didn’t carry a divine artifact with her. When fighting that monster, she could only rely on her own strength.

Clearly, Miss Bai’s strength was not enough to kill a god alone.

“This direction, I’ll head there immediately.” As Leticia was about to get up and leave, Yi Yujun suddenly grabbed her hand.

The divine envoy had an expression of facing death, “I’m going too.”

“You? No, your strength is too weak. Just traversing through this rain would be a handful for you. Bringing you would only slow me down,” Leticia shook her head. She admired the courage but now wasn’t the time for playing house. “If your aircraft can be repaired, fly back and request support from Binhai City.”

“But…”

“No ‘buts’. You need to know when to be a hero. Now, you’d better listen to me. This is the most beneficial choice for the situation,” Leticia said very seriously to Yi Yujun. “This battle cannot be won by just me and Bai Ling. We need support, and the task of requesting reinforcements will be yours.”

Influenced by Leticia’s serious demeanor, Yi Yujun gritted her teeth and nodded, “I understand.”

It’s good that she understood. This girl wasn’t that stubborn, which made Leticia feel a little comfortable. She hated people who couldn’t be reasoned with the most.

Was that battlefield a place for someone like Yi Yujun, who could barely protect herself, to go? Her going there would be throwing her life away. Even if she didn’t care about her own life, could Leticia just watch her be instantly killed by the monster at first glance?

Protecting a “pig teammate” was more taxing and troublesome than defeating a powerful enemy.

Fortunately, there were no “pig teammates” for the time being that could make Leticia’s anger flare up.

“Then it’s settled. I’m heading there immediately. You guys hurry up and repair this thing and fly back to request support. It would be best if your Divine Seat brought out some of its reserves,” Leticia said, and then flew off in the direction Yi Yujun had pointed without looking back.

“Has White Dove recovered its flight capability?” After Leticia left, Yi Yujun immediately jumped back into the aircraft. “If it has, then fly back at full power. Since it’s this lady’s request, we’ll just follow it.”

“I’ve been waiting for you to say that, boss!” The short girl pushed the joystick, and the aircraft named White Dove surprisingly lifted off the sea surface steadily.

There was no way to tell that this thing had been half-dead on the sea surface just moments ago.

“When did you repair it?!” Yi Yujun was dumbfounded. What happened to it being severely damaged and needing repairs?

It looked perfectly fine.

“You lied to me?!”

“Boss, I did it for your own good.” The girl shook her head. Flying through the cloud wall with White Dove, she knew the strength of that cloud wall better than Yi Yujun. “If it wasn’t me controlling White Dove when we impacted the cloud wall, then what I said wouldn’t have been a lie.”

“So you were scared?” Anger appeared on Yi Yujun’s face.

The girl shook her head, “Boss, you know my personality. I’m not scared. I just want us to be able to contribute more.”

She had a very clear self-awareness of her own abilities. White Dove was rather weak in terms of performance, and her own strength could also be called “fodder.”

“Of course, the most important thing is that White Dove couldn’t break through the cloud wall. If we forced our way through, it would only end in destruction and death.” The girl held the joystick and explained with a bình thường expression.
