Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chapter 111: Chapter 103: The Terrifying Dark Night Monarch

”Whoosh—”

At this moment, Chu Xiu, who was calmly heading towards the next observation point, seemed to hear the sound of something ascending into the sky.

But he didn’t pay it any mind, as this city was never short of strange noises.

Yet gradually, the sound of something cutting through the air came again, growing louder and louder!

It was as if something was rapidly approaching him!

Quickly turning his head, Chu Xiu saw a pair of steel wings rapidly enlarging in his sight!

He reacted swiftly, with the help of Mist Step, his body gracefully drifted to the side, while Shadow Demon Energy ignited on him, enveloping his body in pitch-black demonic energy, making him look like a Demon God hidden in the shadows.

”Clang!!!”

The moment he moved, the steel wings sliced through the air like extremely sharp blades, leaving a huge gash in its wake, almost cutting through the entire floor!

Just as Chu Xiu dodged this attack, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air rapidly from beside him again. He evaded once more, and with a loud crash, a massive man in heavy armor descended from the sky, landing at his previous location!

”Bang!”

The ground where he landed was covered in countless cracks, dust scattering everywhere, but the large man remained unscathed, his heavy armor making him look like a human fortress. He drew a two-handed heavy sword engraved with ancient runes from behind his back, pointing it at Chu Xiu in a standard sword stance.

At the same time, a young girl hovered above the big man, with a dozen or so orb-like stars revolving around her right hand, runes flickering in her eyes as if using some kind of skill to probe Chu Xiu’s information.

The steel ’big bird’ that had attacked him earlier also circled in the sky, realigning itself towards him!

”Three big catches have arrived.” Looking at the three figures before him, Chu Xiu frowned slightly under his mask.

He knew all three of them.

Ye Junlin, needless to say, was known as the top figure in Jiang City this year, his strength undeniable. Moreover, his talents were completely unknown! From their initial clash, Chu Xiu surmised that the steel wings on his back were likely of [Legendary] quality equipment!

More frighteningly, as a top wealthy second generation, Ye Junlin likely possessed more than one [Legendary] equipment!

As for the other two, they were members of the Seven Knights! The big guy was named Wei Shan, his talent unknown, and his profession was [Paladin (S)]. He not only possessed incredibly strong close-combat ability, but the blessing of the Holy Light gave him defense surpassing ordinary S-Rank close combat professions, and he could heal himself, making him extremely difficult to deal with!

The young girl’s name was Anya, also with unknown talents, her profession being the extremely versatile [Arcane Mage (S)]. She not only had decent offensive abilities but also possessed powerful support skills like detection, shielding, and teleportation!

Judging by their equipment, each had at least two Warrior Tier [Perfect] pieces of equipment!

”Tsk, the Morning Star Guild really is deep-pocketed.”

”For the development of their son, those two high-tier Awakened have certainly spent extensively.”

However, Chu Xiu was not at all afraid, merely observing the three silently, with battle intent rising in his heart instead.

He had never fought a high-grade Awakened before, and he was curious as to what methods these high-grade Awakened possessed!

Little did Chu Xiu know that the three facing him were much more nervous than he was, even Ye Junlin appeared solemn.

This was their first time seeing the legendary image of the Dark Night Monarch clearly!

It was almost identical to the portrait, with demonic energy rising and enveloping the entire body, making it impossible to see the exact appearance within, only exposing a pair of ancient well-like eyes without any fluctuation and slightly protruding horns atop his head.

But even though they couldn’t see it, the three could imagine the demon body, as solid as a tower, wrapped beneath the demonic energy!

”So strong!”

This was the shared thought among the three.

With the aid of [Steel Witch’s Wings], the trio’s joint assault capability was immensely strong, and it had never failed before. Even several Warrior Tier elite Corpse Demons had been instantly killed by this move!

But the Dark Night Monarch before them merely flickered lightly and easily evaded. Most critically, the creature seemed always at ease, with a look that hinted at fleeting mockery!

Such a presence exerted a tremendous pressure on all three!

”Anya, can you discern its attributes?”

”No,” a bead of sweat trickled down Anya’s forehead, ”it’s all question marks, nothing detectable!”

This information caused Ye Junlin’s expression to become more severe. Although an [Arcane Mage (S)] was not a profession specialized in detection, the detection effect of the [Eye of Arcane] was not weak either. This was the first time they encountered a situation where they couldn’t detect a bit of information!

”As expected of the Dark Night Monarch.”

”At the weakest, it’s a Level 9 elite! It might even be a leader!”

”Let’s first test its strength, don’t be reckless,” Ye Junlin urged softly.

As his words fell, the other two responded in unison. Wei Shan bent his legs, the robust muscles like energy-filled springs, launched forward in the next instant while the two-handed greatsword in his hands ignited with bright flames, fiercely swinging towards the Dark Night Monarch’s head!

Simultaneously, the beads in Anya’s hands burst into countless runes, swirling around the Dark Night Monarch, while Ye Junlin flapped his wings, circling behind the Dark Night Monarch. He pulled out a heavy machine gun and squeezed the trigger, spouting fierce tongues of fire from the barrel, and a torrent of specially-made incendiary armor-piercing bullets spewed out!

These bullets could easily penetrate 20mm thick steel plates, possessing extremely terrifying power, sufficient to serve effectively even in Warrior Tier battles.
