Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Focusing intently, Iyas released Holy Light from his palm, locking onto the giant sword-wielding Moli.

A burst of silver-gold starlight flared, swallowing the unique glow from the Heroic Ode on Moli and the distinct array encircling her feet.

The intensity of the Holy Light on Iyas was beyond imagination.

Generally, a Priest’s single-target Dispel Technique can remove two to three buffs at once, even among the top ranks.

Iyas dispelled five buffs in one go, leaving only a 50% defense boost, nearly reverting Moli to her original state.

Normally, to prevent powerful buffs from being dispelled, a Minstrel would apply a solidifying effect named Record Poem after casting a series of buffs on the target.

During the duration of Record Poem, most dispel skills cannot remove the buffs on the target.

Once someone seizes the opportunity to complete a skill combo of Heroic Ode and Record Poem,

Yang Yu and his team would face an unprecedented major BOSS.

Even Yang Yu couldn’t ensure the team’s complete retreat.

The silver lining was that the chanting time for both Heroic Ode and Record Poem was not short.

Releasing Heroic Ode takes some time before Record Poem can be added.

The steady playstyle for buffs is to have two Bards, one for adding various buffs and the other solely for Record Poem.

Two supports are good, but having two pure supports can result in a lack of output, which is challenging for most teams.

To pair two pure supports, the team’s skill set and playstyle must be strengthened and adjusted, which is far from agile.

With only one Bard, the safer strategy is to stay put, wait for both Heroic Ode and Protection Poem to be fully applied, and then launch an assault.

This method’s downside is obvious, wasting a lot of the buffs’ duration and potentially missing a prime attack opportunity.

The two disciples of the Curse Sect didn’t want to miss the effects brought by Silent Hymn.

If they switched the release order of Silent Hymn with other skills, the enemy would surely use the time they’re preparing to cooperate and focus on eliminating Modesty.

Although Silent Hymn can seal magic and Holy Light, it can’t erase launched attacks.

If Modesty is swiftly eradicated, even with the most powerful buffs applied, a fierce battle is sure to follow, first being held off by that man, then being focused on by two potent attackers.

With a Magician and an Archer on the other side, only by closing the distance with the ranged attackers in one breath and continuously employing melee attacks can she suppress them, leaving them no room for counterattack.

Under the effect of Silent Hymn, Moli used a series of skills to initially achieve this melee goal.

However, after closing in, the large Silver Wolf and the small Slime became her stumbling blocks, preventing Moli from quickly crushing Bai Jin’s team as planned.

Those by that man’s side are no simpletons.

Being able to dispel so many buffs at once, this elf may possess Holy Light Ability akin to that of the Goddess Sect Saintess.

Moli had to admit that ignoring the Holy Light strength on the elf for using bows and arrows led to a flaw in her strategy.

Bai Jin raised the Magic Wand, and a Curse Magic spell hit Moli’s giant sword.

A unique purple light shone, seeping into the giant sword, sealing its original ability.

The Minstrel’s Record Poem came too late, leaving Moli’s protection empty.

However, the disappearance of buffs did not shake Moli’s resolve to attack; the giant sword roared as it slashed towards Lotcar.

Lotcar moved his body to the right, dodging this strike.

Moli’s giant sword emitted a fierce Sword Qi, dragging a massive blood trail from Lotcar’s armpit to his last rib.

Placing both hands on Lotcar, Iyas used an Advanced Healing, emitting a gentle Holy Light, swiftly healing Lotcar’s wound.

Lotcar quickly distanced himself from Moli, while Bai Jin and Iyas aimed their thrust at Moli, brewing a new attack.

Bai Jin and the team responded appropriately, and Yang Yu was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he frowned, suddenly realizing he had made a fatal mistake earlier.

Due to the urgency of the situation earlier, Yang Yu subconsciously called out Bai Jin and Iyas by their real names.

If the Curse Sect discovers Bai Jin’s true identity, they will definitely fight till the end to reclaim what Bai Jin has...

No, it is already a battle to the death now...

Dwelling on whether he called their real names or not is actually pointless now.

The Curse Sect dispatched three disciples this time to deal with them.

Considering that the last time they sought the Abyss Gate, only one bishop level person was sent, perhaps dealing with the man called ”Potato Thorn” takes far higher priority than obtaining the Abyss Gate from Bai Jin.

Knowing Bai Jin’s identity and obtaining the Abyss Gate is just icing on the cake.

It seems this war is crucial to the Curse Sect.

Maybe they discovered a new method to summon demons, or perhaps they’ve always had another way to summon demons from the beginning.

This war and the Goddess Sect Saintess’s death were all preparations for summoning demons.

Blazing flames pounded the Shield once again, blood volume was nearly depleted, and a blood-red burst from Yang Yu’s eyes as his speed dramatically increased under the boost of Sudden Killing Intent.

He continuously cleaved through several fireballs with his Sword Blade, directly targeting Fake Porcini.

Modesty used magic for defense, but Yang Yu was astoundingly fast, and the freshly woven Magic Array was shattered by Yang Yu’s Sword Blade.

”With skills like this, no wonder he affects the entire battle.

If such an existence is allowed to continue developing, it will definitely become a stumbling block for the Sect’s progress.”

With a quiet sigh, Modesty had no time to dodge, allowing Yang Yu to pierce through her chest.

Yet even when her heart was pierced, Modesty’s wound didn’t shed a drop of blood, having already become an existence between Slime and Human.

Yang Yu piercing Modesty was like stabbing into a large pile of clay.

Though Fake Porcini’s blood volume indeed dropped in Yang Yu’s sight, he had a feeling that if he reduces her blood volume to 0, Fake Porcini wouldn’t die, but instead revert to her original form.

Only by defeating Fake Porcini’s original form can she be thoroughly beaten.

Having managed to close in, Yang Yu tried to pull out the Sword Blade and launch a strong attack, but found Fake Porcini clasping the blade with her palms, hands joined tightly.

A scorching magic power rose from the hilt along Yang Yu’s arm. He released the hilt, swiftly pulling back, but it was ultimately one step too late.

Fake Porcini released a large amount of magic power from within her body, diffusing it around, and then directly ignited the magic.

Instantly, rolling flames engulfed Fake Porcini, sweeping everything around.

Rolling backward, Yang Yu barely escaped from the crimson flames, his body billowing smoke, and his arm scorched by the searing fire.
