Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
At this moment, Flom raised the steel fork in his hand, let out a “keke” ghastly laugh, and kicked away the Griffin that was blocking the soldier.
The already dying Griffin was sent flying backward by this powerful kick, smashing into a tree stump.
It let out a final mournful cry, looking sadly in the direction of its master.
Its pupils gradually dispersed, and it breathed its last.
Just as Flom was about to kill the soldier.
“Let go of that boy!”
“Swoosh—”
A door-sized Flame Burst flew over and smashed heavily onto Flom.
Accompanied by an explosion like a grenade, the struck Flom was blown away.
This was Gou Fugui holding back.
He only unleashed one Flame Burst, and it was specifically aimed at the head. Otherwise, with the power of his Flame Burst now, the soldier would have surely been caught in the blast and killed.
Gou Fugui, who had invested all his skill points into Flame Burst, now displayed destructive power far exceeding that of other mages of the same level.
In just that one blast, Flom lost a third of his health.
“Hehe~”
Gou Fugui pointed forward with one hand, his fingertips still emanating gray smoke. He quickly chanted, and two or three door-sized Flame Burst fireballs were already rotating behind him, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
To be honest, he had some regrets at first about investing everything in Flame Burst, but after experiencing more and more battles, he realized the true charm of it.
“Don’t get distracted, they’re coming!”
Scheming Frog had been paying close attention to Flom’s movements.
These cunning demons scattered immediately after being attacked by the Flame Burst, flying into the sky and approaching them from three directions in a pincer formation.
Scheming Frog’s expression was solemn. This battle had to be approached with extreme caution. He and Gou Fugui could not die, or they would have to resurrect from the Godforsaken Abyss.
Furthermore, there would be no one to report to Winter City.
Now, with three Floms scattered, he and Gou Fugui were just weak mages, and they only had one chance.
“Brother Frog, should we attack? They’re getting closer!”
Gou Fugui stood behind Scheming Frog, looking disdainfully at the approaching Floms. He particularly disliked the stench from the Abyss, which he felt was like a mixture of sulfur and rotten eggs.
“Wait a little longer. The distance isn’t enough. If we’re going to kill them, we need to kill them all at once.”
Scheming Frog said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping over the Floms as he silently calculated the spell range.
In fact, the three Floms were a bit surprised. The humans in front of them were supposedly high-level Archmages, yet they were standing there foolishly. Were they scared stiff?
The limited brain capacity of the Floms prevented them from understanding the situation, but they didn’t need to. For demons, offense was all that mattered.
“Guaa—!”
The leading Flom let out a fierce, deterrent roar, signaling the start of their attack.
At the same time, a faint blue shield lit up on both Gou Fugui and Scheming Frog, negating the effect of the deterrent roar.
At this moment, the three Floms were less than five meters away from the two players and were getting closer.
Scheming Frog narrowed his eyes. The time had come, and he chanted the spell he had been preparing for a long time:
“Absolute Zero Storm.”
A pale storm erupted, centering on Scheming Frog, blowing within a five-meter radius.
The furious icy current buffeted the three Floms, causing them to sway, and simultaneously reduced their movement speed.
But it wasn’t over yet. Floms had a certain resistance to both ice and fire, so this alone wouldn’t be enough to completely control them.
Thus, Scheming Frog continued to chant.
Three more large water orbs appeared behind him and, following Scheming Frog’s gaze, struck the three Floms respectively.
Soaked from head to toe by the powerful water orbs, the three Floms were doused like drowned rats. And under the effect of the Absolute Zero Storm, they began to freeze. Frost started to appear on their bodies. Their movement speed slowed down even further, and they even lost their ability to fly, falling to the ground.
“Gou Fugui, Flame Burst!”
“Got it! Just watch, Brother Frog, I’ll blast them to smithereens!”
Gou Fugui had long been impatient. Now that all the Floms were controlled by Scheming Frog and were on the ground, they were sitting ducks.
He grinned sinisterly, raised his hand, and summoned.
The Flame Burst fireballs behind him circled his body, then shot out in pairs, striking the three Floms.
The three foolish Floms had no way to dodge. They could only watch helplessly as the whistling Flame Burst fireballs hit them, letting out cries of unwillingness from their throats.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Three thunderous explosions resounded. The violent shockwave stirred up a gust of wind that blew the messy hair at the temples of Gou Fugui and Scheming Frog. Three small mushroom clouds rose into the sky and slowly dissipated with the wind.
Not far away, one Flom was completely blown to pieces, while the other two were severely damaged, lying on the ground with only a sliver of health left. The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
Scheming Frog did not rashly approach. He casually summoned two fireballs and finished off the remaining two Floms. These demons were very cunning. He couldn’t rule out the possibility of them using self-destruction or poison, so Scheming Frog was always very cautious.
After killing the three Floms, the two of them went to the soldier’s side. Scheming Frog checked on the Griffin. Unfortunately, the corpse of this loyal Griffin was already cold. Even before its death, its gaze had remained fixed in the direction of its master. Scheming Frog sighed regretfully, closed the Griffin’s eyes, dragged it into a deep pit created by a Flame Burst, and skillfully buried it with an Earth Wall spell.
On the other side, Gou Fugui was also observing the soldier’s condition. The soldier was not seriously injured; his arm had been pierced by a steel fork, and he had fainted from the fall.
After confirming that the soldier was fine, Gou Fugui began to apply first aid knowledge he had learned from TV shows in an attempt to wake the unconscious soldier. Applying pressure to his philtrum didn’t work. Splashing him with cold water didn’t work either. Gou Fugui thought for a moment and then his eyes lit up. He rolled up his sleeves and delivered a loud “slap” to the soldier’s face.
The crisp sound startled Scheming Frog. Meanwhile, Dasvid felt a piercing pain in his face and suddenly trembled, waking up. The first thing he saw was a grinning, foolish-looking face. Dasvid’s eyes lit up as if he had found a savior. He tremblingly grabbed Gou Fugui’s arm, his eyes filled with urgency and hope, and weakly shouted:
“Quick… quickly go to Winter City for reinforcements! Mo… Most City is being attacked by demons… King of Winter Your Majesty, is still, still inside!”
Baqula demons represent the savagery and brutality of the Undercity. They gather to deal with powerful enemies, then snatch various gruesome spoils from their prey to decorate their territories.
Baqula demons look like giant apes with hideous faces, flat noses, and long tusks. They lumber on land like apes, but possess great speed and agility when climbing.
