Second World-Novel

Chapter 1509 Chapter 1509. The Hero Arrived

Although this demon lord's level and grade were equivalent to Emris, Themisphere's strongest lord marshall, it was classified as a boss, which put it at a higher difficulty than the regular monsters.

The demon lord looked at the scene before it with unconcealed contempt. With a grunt, the revolving black flame behind him produced ten large flaming spears. The spears then shot out in different directions.

These spears were like homing missiles. They flew in irregular patterns, dodging obstacles in the air, before diving into the place with the most concentration of defenders. It then erupted with a shockwave of energies that sent everyone flying as well as damaging them.

"It's just one boss! We can take it down if we work together!" Scarface shouted to motivate everyone.

"It's not just one boss. He brings an army of minions with him. How are we going to take him down like this?!" Silverwing complained.

"I will open the way! Select few will engage the boss. The rest keep the minions from interfering!" Red Death shouted and used Ice God Barrage.

The twenty ice balls carpet-bombed the demon horde and cleared a way forward. As Red Death rushed forward, a huge tiger made of white flame charged past her and pounced the enemies ahead. Not long after, a humanoid tiger with a flaming suit also rushed past her.

It was Leavemealone in his white tiger emperor form and the Lesser Tiger God Manifestation. Leavemealone used Fire God Barrage and extended the path forward.

"Haon, Cleo, don't rush! There are too many enemies. We go together," Domon's voice warned them. He was also fighting his way through the path created by the divine skills. Jet and Freddie were next to him.

These experts pushed forward, trying to get to the boss. Other players and the native soldiers supported them as best as they could, but their path was then blocked by the Abyss Daemon and several demon knights.

There were just too many demons. Protected by his minions, the demon lord continued to unleash devastating attacks from long range, whittling the defenders down.

The defenders were pushed back little by little, while more and more demons entered. These demons all had higher average levels than the average player's and native's levels. Having David who had a high level among players activate the disaster item had now backfired on them.

Only the side where the Everlasting Heavenly Legends' members were located could still push back against the demon horde somewhat. This was because of their high average level and their companions who were mostly ex-members of the Council of Charites.

Because of this, Jeanny instructed her guild members to be the ones to push forward to reach the demon lord while the others held the demon horde at bay.

Jeanny, Grace, and Paytowin took the lead. Paytowin's brave techno suit was off its one-hour cooldown so he was equipping it again. Their companions, Mihos, Brave King, Garuda, and Oswald fought beside them.

The Demon Lord saw this group's advance. It made a scowling face, unhappy that its minions let the enemies come so close. The flaming circle behind it revolved again. This time it produced a large number of giant dark icicles. It threw these dark icicles at the incoming group.

Seeing these giant icicles raining on them, the sentinels and paladins in the group used their skills to block. While the archmages cast magic walls. Several icicles broke past the defensive skills and pierced into the ground. Everyone avoided the point of impact as best they could.

However, the icicles didn't just stop after landing. They melted and spread outward along the ground. The ones who were in the area when the ice went past their legs found themselves stuck. They couldn't move. They activated Willpower to break free, but since the ice covered a large area, they were trapped again once they took the next step.

Unless they could fly or have a skill that gave continuous movement-removal, they couldn't free the area.

Berserkers who had max-leveled their Cry of Rage came to their rescue. Aside from freeing allies from movement restrictions, max-level Cry of Rage provided 100% resistance to movement restriction for a duration instead of 50%.

These acts took time, though. During that time, the demon lord continued to blast the trapped players with multiple spells, killing quite many players.

As they struggled, a large number of lightning snakes suddenly blasted through from behind the gate. Countless lesser demons and imps were vaporized once they were touched by these lightning snakes.

Followed after were a thundering voice and twenty large lightning balls that slammed into the demon lord's back. The demon lord stumbled forward while receiving high lightning damage.

"Have no fear, for the hero has arrived…!!"

The Man cursed when he heard the voice, "F*ck, who copy me…?"

Everyone saw the owner of the voice then. It was no other than Jack. Three Jacks to be precise. Two were flying in the supreme dragon form and gold dragon wings. The third one was riding atop Therras.

Those who saw Jack were happy that he had come to their aid. But at the same time, they were also annoyed by his not-so-modest declaration.

Jack was originally looking for an exit to go outside and join his army. But with the demon horde running rampant, he couldn't move as he wished. Most of the exits to the outside were crawling with demons. These demons also wanted to head out due to the disaster item's system.

So, he continued to move while staying under cover. Before he knew it, he arrived near the palace gate. When he saw the gate was broken and the demon horde was pouring in. He knew that Thelgrun and the others were in trouble inside. Hence, he cast Reset and then rushed in to help.

"King Storm Wind…!" Thelgrun called excitedly when he saw Jack.

"Mister President! Don't worry, your friend is here. We will sort this out together!" Jack exclaimed. In his mind, he half-hoped Thelgrun never found out who detonated this disaster item in his capital.

"Jeanny, Grace, George! On me! We will slay this demon lord together!" Jack exclaimed.
