Anxious shouts were so small in the crowd that they didn't even make a ripple.
It wasn't until the black shadow grew larger and larger, like the figure of a tyrannical Demon God, that the crowd came to their senses and began to retreat, but it was too late. Snakes... countless black snakes overflowed from beside the shadow.
They reaped the lives of the dwarves like the God of Death.
Cerberus reappeared, his appearance slightly changed... still one head, but countless snakes were twisted on his head and back, and his original tail grew dense, bluish-gray scales, like a dragon's tail.
The lightning of the warhammer flashed among the pile of snakes, and the elderly lion at this moment revealed powerlessness and exhaustion, plunging the remaining dwarves into endless panic.
It was then that someone finally arrived at the battlefield.
The silent square of lightning began to turn, and a swift lightning storm rushed into the battle like a tide. The lightning annihilated the dancing black snakes, and an armguard flashing with lightning slammed heavily onto Cerberus, who had just been resurrected. The arrogant Demon God was knocked to the ground.
"Long time no see, old man."
Thor, with golden eyes, flashed in front of Fendro. The four lightning squares on his armguard dissipated after that one strike.
"Thor?" Fendro looked at the newcomer, stunned, then spoke in a somewhat stern and regretful tone: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and leave... You shouldn't be here..."
"Old man, what are you saying? This is my home, and you are all my family. How could I not come?"
"What's more, dealing with the Demon God... is no longer a problem, don't worry."
Fendro was stunned. "It's no longer a problem? Could it be that ultimate magic...?"
"Hehehe~ It's really lively, old man, it's also been a long time."
Raia and Fana appeared from behind Thor. The breath of the Fire Salamander began to raise the ambient temperature. Raia smiled and greeted Fendro, "We've come to fulfill our promise."
"You guys..."
Raia put a finger to his lips, signaling Fendro not to say anything unnecessary that might reveal their identities. Thor subtly sensed something amiss; these two from Eye of the Midnight Sun seemed to have known Fendro for a long time... The members of the Aqua Deer Squad appeared further back, including Rill and Bai En, who had originally been fighting the Diamond Kingdom.
The fallen Demon God Cerberus climbed up from the ground. Compared to its initial bronze-patterned dog form, its appearance with snakes and a dragon tail was even more terrifying and eerie.
Its roar seemed capable of shattering eardrums.
"Seriously... I'm up against this guy again. It's as disgusting as ever... A snake body and a dragon tail, it looks like it's entered its second form. Old man Fendro is more capable than I thought. No matter what, it's still super difficult to deal with." Raia murmured softly, "After this is over, I definitely need to go back and get a good night's sleep."
The next second, a long, narrow katana appeared in his hand. He turned to look at the Aqua Deer Squad members beside him.
"Alright, alright~ No matter what you've decided, let's proceed with the plan we laid out earlier. As for whether we win or lose in the end, let's make that decision when the moment truly arrives!"
Raia swung his katana, unleashing magic: "Imitation Magic, Dark Entanglement: Nameless Slash!"
Dark magic flew out with the swing of the katana, a long, narrow black light falling towards Cerberus, but the massive monster merely swung its bluish-gray dragon tail, instantly smashing the attack.
Seeing this, Fana also began to attack. The giant Salamander flapped its wings, carrying her above the ground. It circled the Demon God, unleashing extremely high-temperature flames. The flames formed a cage, restricting Cerberus's movements.
Under Thor and Fendro's communication, the remaining dwarves began to evacuate the battlefield, and Eye of the Midnight Sun and the Aqua Deer Squad officially took over the battle.
"Haha~ It's so big!"
Rill took a few steps forward, observing Demon God Cerberus in the flames. His black eyes gleamed, and he couldn't help but grip his paintbrush tightly. "Such a big guy will definitely make the most perfect painting! I'll do it, I'll do it!"
He began to run quickly towards the Demon God, like a nimble white deer. His paintbrush was stained with brown pigment, and the pigment spilled out, forming several sharp earth spikes. "Take this!"
"Painting Magic, Thorns of Brown Earth!"
The earth spikes rose from the ground, complementing the flame cage, growing brown thorny flowers inside. Demon God Cerberus was impaled by the earth spikes, holding its body in place.
The rest of the Aqua Deer Squad also began to act. The main force for hunting the Demon God right now wasn't the captain and vice-captain, but them!
Francis activated Water Magic, condensing water snakes that coiled towards the Demon God. The Fire Salamander's flames did not affect the casting of Water Magic, and the Demon God, impaled by layers of huge earth spikes, did not immediately break free and retaliate.
The water snakes tightly coiled around the Demon God's hind legs.
Sesk summoned swift bronze wolves that directly tore at Cerberus's ugly large face. Snowflakes began to fall from the sky at this moment; the chilling frost and snow could dull one's five senses.
Fragil, who was casting Snow Magic, "Phantom Snow Garden," stood beside her snow-white grimoire. Wearing a fluffy hat, she looked like a serene elf in the snow.
Two shouting men beside her broke the pleasant atmosphere.
"What an ugly big dog, watch me turn you into a sieve!" Gu Sen held a fire blunderbuss, frantically compressing fire bullets. The flying bullets, like fire butterflies, continuously struck Cerberus. "Die! Die!"
The bald uncle Jie Kai beside him echoed Gu Sen: "Die!"
He threw rocks at the Demon God... Although they seemed like boulders to him, they looked like small pebbles when thrown at the Demon God.
"Hey, hey, Uncle Jie Kai, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be up there, using your magic to smash the Demon God with your fists? What are you doing throwing rocks pretending to be an archer?"
...That's a Demon God. Go up and fight it hand-to-hand, me? One giant claw swipe would probably turn me into meat paste, what a joke. I'm stupid... but not dumb.
Jie Kai didn't want to admit his powerlessness. He replied, "I've always thought you had it tough, so this time I won't go up. I'll learn from you from the back; maybe it'll be useful later."
"Are you scared? That's normal... after all, it's a Demon God."
"Who's scared?"
Gu Sen's tone was strange, as if he was teasing: "Are you not?"
"Of course not." Jie Kai said with a serious face.
Gu Sen provoked him again: "Then you go up!"
"You go up."
"Me up? I don't have your thick-skinned magic; wouldn't I be flattened instantly if I went up?" Gu Sen questioned Jie Kai.
"Being thick-skinned doesn't mean you won't get flattened?"
"..."
Just as the two were bickering, a figure swiftly passed them, charging towards the Demon God in the flames like a hawk, wielding twin swords, like a fearless swordsman from a minstrel's tale.
Gu Sen and Jie Kai looked at each other: "...That's Bai En, right?"
"Probably." Jie Kai smacked his lips.
"He wasn't joking just now? He's really going up? Only the captain and them can handle this guy, right?"
Courage comes in many forms. Facing difficulties and fighting against them is one kind; knocking difficulties down from the very beginning is another.
Those who charge forward without hesitation are the second kind...
