C93 A Million Fighting Capacity Demons!!

Slaughter!

Endless, frenzied slaughter!

Within the Demon Arena, Chen Guo and his companions had shifted from defense to offense, initiating their own attacks.

This change in strategy was possible because the number of demons had dwindled to a mere third, leaving just over three hundred adversaries.

The pressure on the group had significantly decreased; they could forego defense and go straight on the offensive.

Moreover, as everyone had been leveling up continuously, their strength had substantially increased. With only a third of the demons remaining, they easily gained the upper hand, resulting in a lopsided battle.

"We six are unbeatable at this stage when we join forces. Once this crisis is behind us, we should definitely add each other as friends!" Puluo exclaimed with excitement. "Who knows? We might have opportunities to collaborate in the future."

"Adding each other as friends is a good move. My calculations suggest that the Beginner Villages will inevitably interact with one another going forward. We'll have plenty of chances to team up," Lei Kun agreed with a nod.

"In the future, for any challenging quests or narratives, we can group up. It's certainly wise to add each other as friends."

The others unanimously endorsed Puluo's suggestion to connect as friends.

Dragons do not fraternize with snakes.

People tend to befriend others of similar status. Just as billionaires associate with billionaires, beggars often befriend other beggars.

All of us are Legends, and to us, ordinary trial challengers offer little benefit. But another Legend? That's a different story.

Socially, we're on the same level, sharing common interests and topics of conversation.

It makes sense to befriend and add each other.

From a practical standpoint, our collective strength is formidable, and our skills complement one another well. By becoming friends, we'll undoubtedly find ourselves relying on each other's strengths in the future, to everyone's advantage.

Yet, all eyes were on Chen Guo, for he was the mightiest among us.

To the average trial challenger, we are the elites, but even among us, Chen Guo is a titan.

And after witnessing his prowess in battle, it's clear that while we could manage without any one of us, without Chen Guo, we'd all be doomed.

"I agree to adding friends," Chen Guo stated calmly. "Let's exchange friend requests after the battle, so we can share resources in the future."

The five individuals before him, though not as powerful as Chen Guo, were among the most exceptional in a global population of billions.

Chen Guo was a loner for now, but he knew he'd eventually need the support of other powerhouses. The Jade Void Temple alone wouldn't suffice; befriending some of the elite trial challengers was essential.

"Let's revisit this after the battle. For now, let's focus on wiping out these demons!"

"These demons are practically reading my mind. Let's finish this nightmare already!"

"Push harder, we're close to eradicating the demons!"

The group was thrilled when Chen Guo consented to the friend requests, their efforts against the demons intensifying.

The demons were beaten back, falling one by one.

But then, as if on cue, the demons retreated underground in unison.

Chen Guo and his companions exchanged puzzled glances.

Lei Kun scowled, "What's happening? Have the demons chickened out? Are they fleeing?"

Avril expressed her astonishment, "They seemed so fearless; it's unlike them to just run away. What's going on?"

Blues, with an odd look on his face, mused, "The thing is, the Demon Arena's rules say we have to kill a thousand demons. We've only taken down just over eight hundred, leaving a shortfall of two hundred. If these demons have retreated, we can't fulfill the Demon Arena's requirements. Does this mean we're trapped here indefinitely?"

Lin Dong blurted out, "Damn, is the Demon King trying to cheat us?"

"Pitiful humans, do not judge the great Demon King by your own simplistic standards!" Suddenly, a voice boomed, "The Demon King has appointed me to challenge you. Since the ordinary demons are no match, I shall be your adversary. Survive for ten minutes against me, and you shall be deemed victorious!"

As the voice echoed, the ground itself seemed to seethe. A towering demon emerged from the burning green flames, a creature with hooves, a tail, horns, and its body covered in green runes. Exuding an intimidating presence and brandishing two gleaming blades, it fixed a menacing gaze upon them all.

Devils come in genders, and the one before them was a rare female—not a seductress, but a warrior devil.

"Demon War God Arieti, a Level 50 legendary being with a combat strength of one million!"

A legendary creature with a combat strength of one million!

And still only at Level 50!

Everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief.

What in the world was happening?

The Demon King seemed to have a death wish for them!

Bitter smiles spread across their faces.

"Wow, this is something else. A legendary creature with a combat strength of one million is like a cannonball that's come to life!" Lin Dong commented sarcastically.

"Dealing with a regular monster at one million combat strength would be one thing, but legendary creatures are on a whole other level," Lei Kun lamented. "The Demon King must really overestimate us."

Avril chimed in, "We might stand a chance against this Demon War God Arieti. He may have a million in combat strength, but together, the six of us exceed that number. Besides, victory isn't about killing him; it's about surviving his onslaught for ten minutes. With our teamwork, I'm confident we can hold out for that long!"

"Let's see what this female demon is made of," Chen Guo said gravely. "Since we can't break the rules, we'll have to play by them."

Chen Guo's thirst for power intensified. It was clear the Demon King was toying with them like chess pieces. Fueled by resentment, Chen Guo was determined to grow stronger. One day, he'd turn the tables and use those lofty deities as his pawns.

"I'm up first!" Avril declared, her Holy Shield ablaze with sacred light as she charged.

"Brave, but futile," the Demon War God Arieti declared, his battle blade casting twin golden arcs that struck before they were even seen, cleaving Avril's figure.

Puluo quickly cast a healing spell to mend Avril's wounds and reduce the damage.

Crack!

Avril's Holy Shield was as if made of glass, shattering instantly.

And with it, Avril was split in two.

"Dao seeker Avril has fallen to the Demon War God Arieti!"

Chen Guo and his companions were utterly astonished!

He took down the tank in a single encounter?

Could he really be serious?
