Killing Grounds of Gods and Devils

The form of these monsters was like that of an ape, they had strangely long arms and were bent over as they moved forward on all fours. After climbing out of the lava lake, they opened their mouths to emit shrill roars, compared to the Volcanic Rock Monsters which could only silently amble about, these monsters formed from lava were clearly of a higher grade, they were at least able to emit shrill roars.

Following the frightening roars, a total of six of these fiery red monsters crawled out from the lava lake.

The monsters had climbed to the shore as their bodies continually frothed due to the lava, patches of lava could be seen wherever they passed as the ground emitted ‘Chi Chi’ noises and caused green smoke to rise. It was clear to see that the temperature of the lava was extremely terrifying.

These six monster had suddenly crawled out of the lava lake to face the group immediately causing the surroundings to heat up.

Su Yu’s Eye Of Perception was activated as a stream of information flowed through his mind.

Name: Fiery Magma Devil

Information: Tier four elite beast soldier, after enduring for countless years, lava which has absorbed sufficient energy will give birth to life. Possesses the intellect of an ordinary human, completely formed of lava, its body has an extremely high core temperature that is able even able to melt gold, extremely terrifying. One must destroy the fire energy crystal within its chest to properly kill it.

The six monsters before them were actually tier four elite beast soldiers, they were obviously much stronger than the Volcanic Rock Monsters as Su Yu immediately exclaimed: “These are Fiery Magma Devils, they are much stronger than the Volcanic Rock Monsters that we faced earlier. We have to destroy the fire energy crystals within their chest in order to kill them.”

As he said this, black scales began to appear on his left hand with ‘Chi Chi’ noises as his entire arm was swiftly covered in the dense black scales.

Hearing Su Yu’s exclamation, the group felt their hearts clench, these monsters were actually even more powerful than the Volcanic Rock Monsters they had faced earlier! Su Yu and Fang Jiong stood at the front with Ma Ziye close behind. Further behind her was Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, Xu Ruyun, Zhao Shichang and the others.

At the back, Li Dong summoned his wasps but was feeling rather depressed, at his level one tier, these tier four elite beast soldiers were simply too powerful for his wasps to have any effect, it was likely that these poisonous wasps were completely ineffective. Seeing the bodies of these Fiery Magma Devils which were formed of lava, he was afraid that if his poisonous wasps attempted to sting, they would instead be burnt to death by the high temperatures.

Fang Jiong looked at these monsters formed of lava before him as he frowned, retrieving his wok as he immediately used the Cyclone Wok to attempt an attack.

With the frothing lava covering the bodies of these monsters, the group did not dare to attack, even Su Yu was hesitant.

The Cyclone Wok hurtled through the air with a frightening sound before finally striking a Fiery Magma Devil.

An explosive sound rang out as the body of the Fiery Magma Devil was struck by the wok, ‘Chi Chi’ noises were emitted as lava was splattered everywhere, as for the Fiery Magma Devil, it began to emit terrifying roars as its entire body bent down before kicking off with its two feet, pouncing towards Fang Jiong with its two arms stretched forward.

Seeing how ineffective his Cyclone Wok was against the monster, his heart shuddered as he immediately yelled, black undulations began to spread across his body as though he were wearing an armour of waves, his left hand was lifted into the air as it received the returning wok to defend himself while at the same time attacking with his right hand which was holding the butcher’s knife. Black undulations coursed over the wok and butcher knife as he stepped forward to meet the charging Fiery Magma Devil.

Su Yu had seen the effect of the Cyclone Wok and was stunned, however, seeing the six Fiery Magma Devils splitting up as they attacked, his body was immediately covered with black scales as he activated the Rending Storm to meet the oncoming monsters.

Ma Ziye’s right hand wielded a Star Blade as she activated the Heaven’s Net, streaks of metal spread out like a spider’s web towards the front.

Zhang Zhongmou took a step forward as a fissure appeared on his chest, his ability Shattered Fragments Light was activated as it shot towards an oncoming Fiery Magma Devil.

The two arms of this Fiery Magma Devil was raised as it blocked the Shattered Fragments Light, a loud rumbling noise could be heard but the Fiery Magma Devil did not seem to be affected as it continued forward, roaring as its two arms flailed causing large amounts of lava to be shot forth.

This had occurred too suddenly and the group were unprepared for this as Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui and the others fully faced the lava head-on.

“Aaaahhhh!” People yelled as their bodies began to emit ‘Chi Chi’ noises, holes could be seen on their clothing as boils began to appear on their skin causing bone-piercing pain.

Su Yu continued forward as the Rending Storm struck a Fiery Magma Devil.

The Fiery Magma Devil had seen the pouncing Su Yu as it immediately used its two arms to defend itself against the Rending Storm, a terrifying noise was emitted as the arms formed of lava were continually minced, scattering as they struck the black scales covering Su Yu’s body causing ‘Chi Chi’ noises as green smoke began to rise up. As for his face which was unguarded, Su Yu could only use his right hand to shield it by activating the Protective Bulwark.

The might of the Rending Storm was simply too terrifying, upon contact it had immediately rent the arms of the Fiery Magma Devil apart. Su Yu could only feel his arm slowly piercing into the viscous fluid instantly going through the body of the Fiery Magma Devil, it was a pity that he had not managed to strike the fire energy crystal which was supposedly within the chest.

At the same time, the Fiery Magma Devil continued to roar as its arms encircled Su Yu, hugging him as its entire body was plastered onto his.

“Chi Chi” noises continued to ring out, his entire body was in contact with the monster and even areas covered in black scales were emitting green smoke, much less the areas which were unprotected.

Su Yu sucked in a breath of cold air as the golden thumb of his right hand pressed forward, large amounts of lava was sent flying away as the head of the Fiery Magma Devil was blown apart. The Fiery Magma Devil which had lost its head did not seem to be affected in the slightest as it roared, continuing to squeeze Su Yu.

Large amounts of lava were adhered to Su Yu’s skin, the hot temperature made Su Yu roar as he felt the exposed areas of his skin begin to fester and melt.

The situation was grim as Su Yu howled, the ten odd holes within his body immediately began to wildly suck in energy from the surroundings as his strange energy surged and exploded, a frightening typhoon formed of strange energy was emitted as the Fiery Magma Devil was sent flying away. At the same time, Su Yu moved forward as the Rending Storm was sent forward with all the energy he could muster.

“Kaboom!”

The Fiery Magma Devil which was in the air was struck by the Rending Storm as it immediately burst apart, lava was sent flying haphazardly through the air while Su Yu ignored the pain of the falling lava as he charged straight through.

Finally, Su Yu was able to see a ball of flashing red energy that was half the size of a fist, this was the fire energy crystal.

Without a word, Su Yu’s right thumb pressed forward directly onto the small red crystal.

“Pa!”

The crystal shattered as the Fiery Magma Devil immediately lost its life energy, large amounts of lava began to fall uncontrollably to the ground as they became ordinary lava, losing all life within them.

Although he had managed to kill a Fiery Magma Demon, Su Yu was also in a very sorry state, large portions of his body had been burnt and festered by the high temperatures, it was fortunate that the strange energy within his body was also working to continually repair his body.

After killing this tier four elite beast soldier, the amount of energy absorbed was far greater than that of a Volcanic Rock Monster, however, it was simply unable to cause much fluctuations as the energy required to advance from tier four was simply astounding, it seemed like a bottomless pit without any end.

Even Su Yu had found it so difficult to kill a single monster, the others were in even worser states.

These Fiery Magma Devils did not have obvious weaknesses like the Volcanic Rock Monsters, their only Achilles’ heel was the fire energy crystal contained within their bodies, however, it was simply impossible to find this crystal without dispersing the lava which formed their bodies.

By the side, Fang Jiong roared, he had already guessed that it would be difficult to deal with the monsters thus using the wok as a shield, streams of black undulations spread outwards covering the wok and butcher’s knife as Fang Jiong activated the Steel Shattering Cleave, chopping towards the Fiery Magma Devil. The Fiery Magma Devil was formed of lava and though the Steel Shattering Cleave was able to create a large gap, it was instantly sealed back up as the Fiery Magma Devil continued unharmed.

Fang Jiong continued to flail his knife multiple times as anxiety filled his heart, the fists of the Fiery Magma Devil continued to smash against his wok causing frightening sounds to ring out, the bodies of both parties continued to sway and it seemed like a stalemate.

Su Yu had barely managed to kill a Fiery Magma Devil while Fang Jiong was stuck in a stalemate with one the monsters, as for the other four, they emitted frightening roars as they pounced towards the group.

Qin Jiagui and the others quickly tossed the bags of food on the ground as he lifted his right hand, jet black metallic skin immediately began to cover his right arm and chest making it seem as though he were wearing a black metal armour. His right shoulder raised as a metal cylinder appeared, howling, the Steel Missile was shot forth.

“Chi!”

A missile was shot forward with a trail of white smoke behind it immediately striking one of the Fiery Magma Devils.

“Bang!”

The body of the Fiery Magma Devil was blown apart as its figure swayed, actually being forced back.

With Qin Jiagui’s advancement to tier three, the power of his Steel Missile had also improved tremendously.
