Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The steel fragments rapidly transformed, and Black Diamond Lorne lifted its massive dragon claw, slamming it onto the ground with great force, causing the earth to shake violently.

Sharp steel thorns pierced the ground like daggers.

Detecting the disturbance underground, Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi had already taken the initiative and sprang into action.

Activating [Climbing], Yang Yu climbed onto the back of the Steel Giant Dragon.

The tip of the horn on Gao Yuanyi’s forehead glowed faintly as he leaped into the air, hopping from one steel creation to another, moving back and forth.

Without hesitation, the two launched a fierce attack on Black Diamond Lorne.

Their attacks indeed inflicted damage on Black Diamond Lorne, but to it, their damage was akin to an ant’s bite.

Ignoring the damage inflicted by Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi, Black Diamond Lorne widened its eyes, expanding its consciousness, controlling more steel creations to transform into missiles, launching them fiercely at Bai Jin and the others.

The goddess’ apostle’s companions were Black Diamond Lorne’s true targets.

After the Holy Light Barrier collapsed, Qiuye drew his beloved sword and navigated through the oncoming steel creations, severing their limbs.

A giant steel creation attacked, and Lotcar partially rose to turn its massive body into a natural shield, crushing the advancing steel creation and biting through its neck.

He Meng, in human form, shot sticky water balls from his fingertips, which split in the air yet remained connected like stones tied to the ends of a primitive rope, spinning around the mechanical beast’s front limbs.

The mechanical beast lost its balance and staggered to the ground.

With a fling of his arm, new azure water balls flew from He Meng’s hands, adhering the fallen mechanical beast to other shattered mechanical beasts, constructing a fortress with their broken bodies.

He Meng initially intended to use the heap of steel creations to create an impregnable pass, reducing defensive pressure.

However, elite steel creations with magic-disrupting disks easily dissolved He Meng’s adhesive and liberated the bound steel creations.

Many steel creations, missing limbs, conglomerated and transformed under Black Diamond Lorne’s will, forming larger steel creatures. Using their massive bodies, they descended like mountains toward Bai Jin, who was preparing magic.

With a fierce roar, Lotcar surged forward with explosive power, crashing into the roaring mechanical creation, pushing it back several meters.

One wave subsides, another arises.

The elite steel creations seized this gap, coordinating with Black Diamond Lorne’s attack, launching another assault on Bai Jin and the others.

The situation was perilous, Iyas deployed the Meteor Launcher, sending clusters of Light Arrows skyward, colliding with incoming steel creations, sparking brilliant flashes.

Small steel creations obscured the sky, making Iyas’ attack seem like a drop in the ocean.

Even if Iyas used the Holy Light to construct a big net, the missile-like attacks pierced through like sparrows, diving down as baby dragons.

Unless the characteristic magic power on the steel fragments is completely eradicated, these steel creations, even when scattered, would rapidly coalesce into new steel creations.

Black Diamond Lorne was extremely clear-headed, focusing most of its attention on defeating Bai Jin and the others.

Only by defeating and injuring Bai Jin and the others would Yang Yu and his team be hindered in their relentless pursuit, giving Lorne a chance to escape.

These steel fragments differ from past Steel Eagles. Previously, destroying the core was effective in stopping them, but now, every part of these steel creations, constructed from Lorne’s steel fragments, acts as a core.

As long as it’s not entirely destroyed or its characteristic magic power interrupted or eliminated, these steel creations can reassemble and continue launching new offensives.

Bai Jin and the others were well aware, but...

Their eyes fixated on elite steel creations equipped with the disks.

The disks constantly disrupted magic power, fully obliterating regular magic when faced with elite steel creations.

Tico and Li Yan attempted to freeze elite steel creations with Frozen Magic, but as soon as their Ice Magic touched, the elite steel creations shattered instantly.

Creating mire-like Earth Magic was ineffective as elite steel creations seemed to have magic-disrupting disks underfoot, preventing attacks from below.

Elite steel creations swung their sharp claws, crashing down on Bai Jin.

Bai Jin swiftly chanted spells, having found a way to counter the current situation, though fully comprehending the magic’s Secret Technique required time.

He Meng hurled a blue-white water ball at the elite steel creation attacking Bai Jin. In mere seconds, it expanded dozens of times, enveloping the steel creation.

Intently observing the elite steel creation, He Meng sought to find weak points in its defense by monitoring the changes in the water ball.

But the elite steel creation devoured He Meng’s water ball entirely before it even touched it, converting it into pure magic power.

He Meng had no way to derive a method to deal with elite steel creations by observing his attacks.

Nullifying He Meng’s adhesive, the elite steel creation swung its sharp claw to slash at Bai Jin.

At such a close range, with magic power in disarray, a magician unable to cast spells was as helpless as a fish on a cutting board.

In a crucial moment, Lotcar once again stepped forward, the elite steel creation’s claw grazed Lotcar’s cheek, sending blood splattering as Lotcar’s sharp mouth bit into the steel creation’s neck.

Above them, Light Arrows collided with tiny mechanical elements, setting off a series of ear-piercing explosions!

With a powerful kick, Lotcar placed his forepaw on the elite steel creation’s chest, using his massive weight to knock it over.

Before Lotcar could catch his breath, elite steel creations from all directions pressed towards Bai Jin while he was occupied.

”It’s done.”

Just as Lotcar stood up, ready to suppress other approaching steel creations, he keenly heard Bai Jin’s words slip from her mouth.

Bai Jin took a deep breath and raised the Magic Wand Sigh Seed.

In an instant, countless white ring-shaped magic arrays surrounded the magic wand, drawing in the interfered magic power.

Subsequently, all the white ring-shaped magic arrays contracted above the [Sigh Seed] on the wand, transforming into a rotating four-leaf fan aimed skyward.

The white fan turned slowly, blowing out white airstreams.
