Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1074 - 1018 Witch Doctor

Huang Yi, Heavenly Dao, Qin Shiyu, Dragon Spike, and others were still on the previous battlefield, waiting for the end of the battle above the clouds.

Wandering Divine Envoy Clare had drawn those demon clan elites up above the clouds, and the intense roaring sounds never ceased, piercing through the cloud layers and reverberating between heaven and earth, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Countless players and reporters gathered like a dark mass on the ground, looking up at the unreachable cloud layers.

No one knew how intense the battle above was, and could only imagine the world-destroying power based on the sounds that came down.

"God of Slaughter, this Dark Priest is already gravely injured, you can finish him off!" At this moment, the voice of Wandering Divine Envoy Clare rang out from above the clouds, sounding very calm and leisurely, as if he found the battle quite easy.

As his words fell, a black silhouette suddenly broke through the clouds, helplessly falling toward the ground, creating a scarlet trail in the air, finally crashing heavily onto the earth, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Only then did the crowd see the shadow clearly.

It was a demon clad in a black robe, holding a peculiar bone staff.

But the black robe was already tattered, and the bone staff in its hand was broken, with only half remaining.

This was precisely a Dark Priest who had just been surrounded by many demons, with demonic qi rising like smoke from his body, standing out among the endless demon clan, shining like a star in the night.

And now, this once brilliant star among the demon clan had fallen, lying on the ground like any dying mortal, barely clinging to life, bleeding black blood constantly, at the mercy of others!

The Dark Priests under the Dark King were a group of powerful beings, each possessing at least Level 275 top-level heavenly domain strength! Previously, Huang Yi had personally dealt with a Dark Priest, which took quite some effort to achieve victory.

Huang Yi, Heavenly Dao, Qin Shiyu, and Dragon Spike, the four leaders, strode through the crowd, step by step approaching the spot where the Dark Priest had fallen, jointly overlooking him.

The players and reporters all followed one by one, surrounding the spot in a circle, pointing and discussing as they laughed among themselves.

Some reporters even gave a close-up of the Dark Priest’s expression, narrating with anticipation: "Now, a Dark Priest lies on the ground like a dead dog, so how should we kill it? Should we capture it and slowly torture it, killing it one stab at a time? Or should we just give it a swift death? Or maybe everyone should join in, each hitting him once, then dividing him into countless pieces, with everyone taking a piece back as a souvenir? Anyway, no matter the method, this Dark Priest is a very fun toy that can entertain and relax us after the national battle is over..."

The Dark Priest listened to the voices around him, forcibly opened his weak eyes wide, and trembled as he gazed around.

He was originally a high-ranking figure, capable of causing living beings to suffer and rivers of blood to flow with a mere wave of his hand, killing thousands of such mortals.

But now, these mortals encircled him, discussing how to kill him. Yet he could only lie on the ground in this humiliating manner, looking up from an inferior perspective at those mortals pointing and talking about him.

"Heavenly Dao, your level is so low, you can kill this Dark Priest! It should allow you to level up several times! At my current level, I am about the same as the Dark Priest, so I won’t gain much experience." At this moment, Huang Yi pointed at the Dark Priest from a height and turned to Heavenly Dao.

The life of a demon, in his casual words, seemed like a gift, offered to others without any shred of dignity.

"Alright! Then I won’t hold back!" Heavenly Dao nodded, smiled expectantly, gripped the Sky-Splitting Spear, and took steps toward the Dark Priest.

His footsteps became increasingly clear in the ears of the Dark Priest, and that tiny figure grew taller and taller, casting a shadow that enveloped the Dark Priest’s eyes.

A few grains of sand kicked up by his steps even rolled onto the face of the Dark Priest.

The Dark Priest gave a bitter smile, made no attempt to resist, and spoke softly: "I—the great Dark Priest—Xingyu Guang, have in this life followed the Seven Archdemons, destroyed one world after another, slaughtered countless living beings, and even killed many legendary heroes with my own hands. I savored their blood, listened to their desperate wails at the moment of death, and watched them crawl on the ground in their dying struggles. As for mortals, in my eyes, they were mere ants, not even worth watching. But to think that today, I would die in such a humiliating way at the hands of an ant, hah, truly lamentable!"

Saying so, he closed his eyes and awaited death calmly.

"You demons like this should have died long ago." Heavenly Dao lifted his foot, stomped on the Dark Priest’s face, gripped the Sky-Splitting Spear with both hands, and thrust it downward fiercely!

"Poof!" The Divine Artifact stabbed entirely into the chest of the Dark Priest, ejecting a spray of black blood, splashing onto Heavenly Dao’s white robe, with even a few drops on his face, rendering him somewhat cold and ruthless.

The Dark Priest’s body shuddered, then became completely motionless, utterly dead!

At that moment, radiant golden light suddenly rose from Heavenly Dao, so dazzling that the crowd almost couldn’t open their eyes. It flickered nine times in a row before finally stopping.

Heavenly Dao was only at the Primary Heaven Domain level, with a massive level gap compared to the top-level heavenly domain Dark Priest. After killing it, he enjoyed a very high experience bonus! Incredibly, he gained nine levels in one go!

"Killing monsters above one’s level indeed makes for quick level-ups! Using conventional methods, who knows how long it would take to reach Level 9!" The Heavenly Dao looked at the corpse of the Dark Priest, pulled out the Sky-Splitting Spear, and sighed.

"My level has increased like this many times, especially during the Reincarnation period, when I killed so many high-level experts. Otherwise, my level would be about the same as yours; it couldn’t be this high." Huang Yi spoke, looking up at the clouds with anticipation, waiting for Wandering Divine Envoy Clare to send down the second powerful member of the Demon Clan.

Around them, all the players and reporters in the crowd lifted their heads, waiting together.

Under countless gazes, the voice of Wandering Divine Envoy Clare soon rang out again from above the clouds—

"God of Slaughter, this Cursed Witch is almost done for, too. I’ll throw it down for you to play with!"

Then, another figure burst through the clouds, dragging a long tail of flames, falling toward the earth like a meteor.

"Boom!" This figure crashed heavily into the ground, landing right onto a mountain of accumulated Demon Clan corpses.

One by one, the demon bodies were smashed aside, scattering and falling.

It became the peak of the corpse mountain, the most conspicuous position, entering the sight of countless players and reporters.

Soon, Huang Yi and the others, along with the players and reporters, left the corpse of the Dark Priest and surrounded the newly fallen demon.

This time, the fallen demon was a hunched, ugly figure.

It looked like a primitive human from a jungle tribe, with hardly any clothes on, only a circle of leaves around its waist, its bare skin painted with vibrant colors, and colorful animal feathers stuck in its hair.

He held a twisted branch magic wand, a circle of animal bones hanging from his neck. His eyes were blood-red, emanating a strange and evil gaze, having cast who knows how many cursing witchcrafts.

This was a Cursed Witch, a top-level heavenly domain expert under the command of the King of Curses.

In the Kingdom of the Cursed King, there was a vast primeval forest, with various demon clan tribes scattered within.

Each tribe housed an extraordinarily powerful shaman, skilled in curses and poison, much like shamans in primitive human tribes with extremely high authority. Hence, Cursed Witches are also vividly referred to as "Dark Shamans" by people.

At this moment, seeing Huang Yi and others surrounding him, a flash of anger flickered in the red eyes of the Cursed Witch, who struggled to stand.

Leaning on that twisted branch magic wand, he stood crookedly atop the corpse mountain, glancing around at the approaching crowd.

"Those who come near me shall suffer eternal curses..." The Cursed Witch spat out a mouthful of black blood, his hoarse and deep voice inexplicably eerie.

The crowd halted their steps, encircling the corpse mountain from afar, not daring to approach further.

This Cursed Witch’s injuries weren’t as severe as the previous Dark Priest’s, and he still seemed capable of battle.

In the next moment, the Cursed Witch waved the magic wand in his hand, releasing black smoke that enveloped his body.

Soon after, his wounds ceased bleeding, rapidly growing granulation and healing.

Huang Yi was slightly taken aback; this Cursed Witch actually had healing abilities!

Few shamans mastered healing abilities, but those who did were among the strongest of shamans, earning them a new title—Witch Doctors!

This Witch Doctor was clearly buying time, healing his wounds; the prolonged delay would have unimaginable consequences!

"Dragon Spike, this Witch Doctor is quite troublesome, I’ll leave it to you to handle!" At this moment, Huang Yi turned his head and said to Dragon Spike.

Huang Yi was also at a top-level heavenly domain, almost equal to this Witch Doctor, so killing him wouldn’t yield an above-level bonus.

However, Dragon Spike was over level 250, so killing this Witch Doctor would have a good experience points bonus.

"Alright!" Dragon Spike nodded, spinning the Sacred Dragon Fang dagger in his hand, then his figure disappeared into thin air, utilizing the assassin’s signature invisibility ability.
