Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The [Seeking Opportunity in Vulnerability] Yang Yu learned through a Skill Scroll can be strengthened based on the Life Value, Magic Power, and stamina lost by the target it hits, and it also benefits from a critical hit bonus.

If it landed, Yang Yu’s [Seeking Opportunity in Vulnerability] could force Ammonval’s Blood Volume down into a truly terrifying range.

Yang Yu’s [Sky-shattering Dragon Roar] has the effect of refunding 80% of the Skill’s cooldown.

Even if the Sustained time of Golden Glass isn’t long, as long as he makes good use of the refreshed Skills, Yang Yu might not be able to completely knock Ammonval out of the sky, but at the very least he can force Ammonval down from the air to the ground.

However, Ammonval isn’t alone over there either.

A Steel Eagle, as if sensing the danger of the blazing Light Arrow, folded its wings and dove at high speed, colliding with the Light Arrow fired by Iyas.

With a crackling sound, the Steel Eagle was shattered by the Light Arrow, exploding apart.

The Holy Light that formed the Light Arrow also scattered in all directions.

In order to quickly finish off the nearby Demon Clan cadre, Iyas had used [Guaranteed Hit Arrow] not long ago; its cooldown hadn’t refreshed yet, so firing [Seeking Opportunity in Vulnerability] was basically being forced onto a duck on the shelf.

But she had no choice but to gamble.

Sadly, anyone who can become one of the Four Heavenly Kings is anything but simple.

Not only was Iyas’s Attack blocked by the Steel Eagle, Yang Yu’s Attack was also stopped by other Steel Eagles.

The Steel Eagles carrying the consciousness of the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne obeyed the command of the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne, forming a Defense for Ammonval in midair.

Whenever Yang Yu tried to slip through the cracks, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne would erect a thick wall to block him.

By using feints, Yang Yu dodged past the walls the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne constructed several times.

But every time Yang Yu launched a real offensive, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne could always, at the last possible instant, use the few remaining Steel Eagles to build a Defense around Ammonval.

Every Steel Eagle has its own attribute, but their Blood Volume and Defense aren’t high.

However, their attributes were always flickering in and out of existence.

Yang Yu could tell that the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s control was extremely delicate.

When the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne releases control, the Steel Eagles are just ordinary hunks of iron and take no damage; when the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne is controlling them, only then is the Magic Power within the Steel Eagles fully activated and their Life Value revealed.

With his feet on the Golden Glass, Yang Yu guarded against Ammonval’s Attacks while looking for the Steel Eagles’ openings.

After probing several times, Yang Yu discovered the Steel Eagles’ weak point.

The Steel Eagles also have their own Core; all other Steel Fragments orbit that Core.

Steel Eagles that have had the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s control removed lose the ability to fly and drop straight down.

To prevent the Steel Eagles from getting too far away from Ammonval, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne would always restart the Core Fragment after the Steel Fragments fell a certain distance, letting it draw in the surrounding Steel Fragments to reform a Steel Eagle and soar across the sky.

The process of the Core gathering fragments has a pattern to it, with roughly a two- to three-second gap.

This is the chance!

Golden Glass appeared one after another, and Yang Yu moved through the air as if on solid ground, striking toward Ammonval.

Most of Yang Yu’s Attacks were blocked by the Steel Eagles flitting about; Ammonval did not take the opportunity when Yang Yu exposed openings to swing his weapon and Attack Yang Yu. Instead, he focused all his attention on Bai Jin’s Magic, to keep Bai Jin from interfering with him again like before.

The Steel Eagles circling around once more fused into a solid wall before Ammonval; a series of crackling sounds rang out as Yang Yu’s Attacks slammed into iron plates yet again.

Each erected iron plate was blasted away by Yang Yu and scattered into fragments in midair.

Off in the distance, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne kept his eyes closed, focusing 1000% of his attention, precisely maneuvering every part of the Steel Eagles.

Their plan had not yet been achieved, and the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne absolutely would not allow them to lose another key combatant at such a critical time.

If Ammonval died here, this war would probably reach a turning point soon, and the plan they had spent a hundred years carefully preparing would go up in smoke.

The thing that forms the Core of each Steel Eagle is actually a part of the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s own body.

Every piece he loses causes a huge drop in his strength, and it takes a very long time to recover.

Precisely because the Steel Eagles’ Cores are parts of the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s body, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne can perfectly control the Steel Eagles through the Signal Tower, using them for scouting and defensive support.

The Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne had thought the Steel Eagles could hold out a while longer.

But then a red light flashed through Yang Yu’s eyes, a Ghost Shadow streaked past behind him, and Golden Glass pieces appeared one after another beside the falling Steel Eagles.

The Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s consciousness was linked to the Steel Eagles.

When he relinquished control of the Steel Eagles, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne also lost part of his perception through them. Only after regaining control would the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne recover that perception.

Up to now, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne had been using the combined perceptions of the Steel Eagles to precisely judge the position and Status of every Steel Eagle, to ensure that the perfect Defense could continue.

Yet this time....

Just as the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne reconnected to the perception of one Steel Eagle, the next moment Yang Yu’s blade pierced its Core without hesitation, shattering it completely and draining it of Magic Power.

His ears buzzed; the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne lost a chunk of perception.

Crackling noises kept sounding as the images before the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s eyes became like a television that had just turned on only to suddenly lose power, plunging into Darkness one after another.

He snapped his eyes open beside the newly built Signal Tower, gritting his teeth, the emotions on his usually calm face wildly surging.

Shock, regret, unwillingness, wariness, and worry all mingled on his face.

The Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne looked toward the Teleportation Array not far from the Signal Tower, countless iron shards seeping out from his body.

The Steel Fragments wrapped the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne into a Steel cheetah; the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne leapt forward, not even taking the time to report what had happened to the Demon King, and stepped into the Teleportation Array, heading straight for the area where Ammonval was.

The Steel Eagles shattered into fragments and fell from the sky.

Yang Yu had finally taken care of one nuisance; his subsequent Attacks would no longer be interfered with by anyone.

Only, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne was definitely rushing over here, and he might even bring the Demon King.

With his trump cards nearly exhausted, Yang Yu now had no confidence at all in facing the Demon King.

Right now, he only wanted to keep Ammonval from escaping and let his companions gang up on him.

Unfortunately, the Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s thorough Defense had bought Ammonval plenty of time.

The Iron Steel Dragon Black Diamond Lorne’s meticulous Defense stirred something in Ammonval’s heart:

”Lun, I’ve really made you work too hard.

This time it really is my fault.

I’ve understood now...

Since I’ve decided to become Lord Demon King’s strongest weapon, clinging to that old view of victory and defeat will only lead to Task failure.

Thank you. I will definitely escape!

And then, I’ll change!

I’ll become Lord Demon King’s one and only true Strongest Spear.”

Yang Yu stepped across the Golden Glass toward him, a touch of crimson spreading from his chest, cloaking him in a blood-red War Garment.

Ammonval stood up from the Pegasus’s back, six arms waving as he prepared to face the enemy. He swung his Magic Wand, and the flaming Pegasus turned into a sea of roaring fire that spread across the sky.
