DING!

In an instant, forty-two Ice Shuttles formed around Cruel Eswaro!

At the same time, a continuous barrage of Earth Fire erupted, blanketing the ground along with a Sea of Fire.

BOOM!

Its upper body was pierced by Ice Shuttles, while its lower body was blasted by Earth Fire!

An offensive of ice and fire instantly took shape! Lu Cang waved his hand, manipulating the vast Sea of Fire and changing its area of effect.

The Sea of Fire overlapped, focusing its attention on the thirteen King Level bosses.

Fortunately, all thirteen of these King Level bosses were Tier Three.

Against a Tier Four Lord, his Magic would struggle to deal effective damage.

There was no other reason; it was purely a matter of insufficient killing power.

He had just fought Tier Four Demons as well.

Tier Four Demons were clearly a huge step up from Tier Three in terms of shell hardness and Recovery Ability.

A Heavy Wall rose! A Wind Roar blasted out—

hindering the movements of these King Level Demons.

Among them was a King Level Demon called the [Blast Bug Nest]. It was a Demon made of hundreds of white, honeycomb-like cocoons piled together.

These cocoons were covered in countless holes of all sizes.

From these holes, a continuous stream of multicolored bugs flew out.

BANG!

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG—

As soon as these bugs were touched by fire, they blew up in mid-air, creating powerful explosions!

Lu Cang launched a test attack with Magic like Earth Fire and Wind Blade.

The effect was decent; the Nest’s outer shell gradually became tattered, but it wasn’t a Demon he could kill in one shot.

Lu Cang’s Magic prioritized targeting the faster King Level Demons.

A distance of one kilometer truly seemed too short.

BOOM!

The city wall shuddered!

A King Level Demon had attacked a different section from the one he was defending, slamming directly into the city wall.

The Level 4 Adventurers were rapidly falling back to defend.

The Tier Three King Level Demons they had been holding back were now Lu Cang’s responsibility.

The front line was actually much longer than one might imagine.

But in the direction of the city gate,

someone had specifically placed Demon bait to lure the vast majority of the Demons to gather here.

Otherwise, if the Demons were scattered everywhere, the extended front line would be even harder to manage.

But even with the bait, many still slipped through the cracks.

WHOOSH!

The Earth Fire erupted again!

Lu Cang first took care of the Evil-faced Demon Spider Monarch.

That thing could use ranged Spiritual Attacks.

But it was fine.

He could take a Spiritual Resistance Potion, and he had a Healing Mage nearby to heal his spiritual injuries.

The few remaining negative effects weren’t enough to put him in danger.

CRASH—

A loud crash came from below the city wall!

It was impossible to block so many King Level Demons at once.

A King Level Demon had already reached the base of the wall!

In an instant, it had already inflicted heavy casualties!

The King of Swift Black Bees.

It was incredibly fast!

It could also fly. Originally, it had been Sprinting toward Lu Cang for the kill, but Lu Cang blocked it mid-air with a Wind Roar and a barrier.

After Lu Cang blasted it to the ground, it was taunted by the Defenders on the ground.

But at that moment, Lu Cang’s main firepower was focused on finishing off the Evil-faced Demon Spider Monarch.

By the time he finished off the Evil-faced Demon Spider Monarch, the King of Swift Black Bees had already started its slaughter.

One kilometer...

For something moving at the speed of sound, that was a mere three seconds.

The faster King Level Demons really did possess that kind of speed.

Fortunately, the Level 3 Defenders weren’t made of paper.

Even in a direct confrontation with a King Level Demon, they could withstand a few attacks. With Healing Mages treating them from behind, this brief clash only resulted in heavy injuries.

No one had died.

This was thanks to Lu Cang’s Sea of Fire, which had relieved immense pressure and allowed these Adventurers to remain in good condition.

After recovering,

Lu Cang’s Magic began to hunt down and crush the King of Swift Black Bees.

Ice Shuttles pierced it from all directions.

They exploded on impact, freezing it stiff and reducing its speed.

At the same time, a [Deep Curse Arrow] reduced its defense, power, and speed.

A short combo of Magic was enough to suppress the King of Swift Black Bees at the base of the wall. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Coordinating with the Level 3 Archers, Mages, Warriors, and Assassins, they all pressed the attack together.

It was quickly dealt with.

’The Bloodline Monarch really was just an anomaly...’

’It was only so hard to kill because it was connected to the Blood Pool. The other Monarchs are stronger than Lord Level Demons, but not so strong that hundreds of spells can’t kill them.’

In less than ten seconds,

Lu Cang had killed two King Level Demons in succession. The centipede-like Demon had all its legs completely severed by the wind swarm, losing its ability to move, and could only be roasted in place by the Sea of Fire.

The Torture Moth was screeching continuously.

Warned by an Observer, Lu Cang took a [Deafening Potion] and became temporarily deaf, unable to hear the [Torture Moth]’s screeching.

Its Sound Wave Attack didn’t have much of an effect.

Lu Cang also had a barrier around him. Although the sound waves could still be effective if they hit his body, the barrier blocked them.

However, the creature’s movements in the air were extremely agile.

It danced gracefully in mid-air, and Lu Cang could only use Skills like Ice Shuttle and the wind swarm to hunt it down.

If his own control weren’t so flexible, Lu Cang really wouldn’t know how to deal with it.

Level 3 Adventurers couldn’t fly, after all.

It wasn’t hard to imagine what a headache it would be for a normal Level 3 Adventurer’s Guild to encounter this thing in the wild.

Level 3 Warriors had terrible anti-air capabilities. The only ones who could attack aerial targets were Mages and Archers.

A Level 3 Mage’s Casting was nothing to write home about, and their projectile speed was slow. In the end, only Archers could reliably deal damage.

And this thing’s dodging speed was practically short-range teleportation.

It frequently dodged even two extremely flexible Magic spells like [High-speed Ice Shuttle] and [Breathing Wind Swarm].

As for the Arrows of a Level 3 Archer... it was really hard to say if they could even hit.

However, his speed-evolved Ice Shuttles weren’t so easy to dodge.

Besides, a single hit was enough to freeze it stiff.

On top of that, Lu Cang used the [Blinding Flash] evolved from his [Flash Skill] to stun it.

After that, it basically couldn’t dodge his attacks anymore.

Hit by an Ice Shuttle, its movements became severely sluggish.

After being hit by Ice Shuttles more than a dozen times in a row, it became a sitting duck in the sky. Immediately after, it was repeatedly stabbed by Ice Shuttles in mid-air and brutally sliced apart by the wind swarm.

In just a few seconds, it lost its life and fell to the ground, becoming a big, cold moth.

’Fast, agile, but not tough.’

’These King Level Demons each have their own special traits.’

’But ultimately, they’re all within the range of being easily dealt with.’

But...

No sooner had he dealt with three of them than two new King Level Demons emerged from the Forest.

’What is that Forest?’

’A monster spawner?’

’Why hasn’t anyone destroyed that Forest yet?’

That’s what Lu Cang thought, but he knew it wasn’t actually possible.

The Forest in the distance was too vast, stretching out as far as the eye could see. The trees immediately around Raine Town had actually already been cleared.

It was just that the Demons kept coming from the distance in an endless stream.

"Genius."

"I’m out of Magic Power."

The Level 4 Mage leaned against the city wall, gasping for breath.

Looking at the Mage beside him, Lu Cang suddenly had an idea.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Hey..."

"Do you have any advice on my Casting?"

The Level 4 Mage gazed at the sky full of Lu Cang’s Magic in the distance and complained internally.

’What advice could I possibly have for a freakish genius like you? A single spell you cast casually is already at a level I could never reach in my entire life.’

Nevertheless, he still observed Lu Cang’s Casting carefully.

The powerful Magic revealed a chaotic and untamed wildness.

It was a completely different system of Casting from someone like him, who had graduated from an academy.

He had always been taught a combat system focused on achieving the best effect with the least amount of Magic Power, one that prioritized careful calculation.

It was completely different from Lu Cang’s style of fighting, which spared no expense.

"As for advice, I don’t think I can give you any."

"But, this Magic... did you create it yourself?"

Lu Cang asked, "Create it myself?"
