Heroes' Prison

Chapter 1372 - 1302: United Against the Heavenly Demon

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Little Rascal] has died."

The next moment, everyone in Huang Yi’s team received a system prompt!

With just one move, the Heavenly Demon killed Little Rascal, that super-first-class master!

"Not good, the Greedy Demon’s Greed Heart belongs to the Heavenly Demon!" Abigail exclaimed instantly!

Only at this moment did they finally understand why the Fifth Level’s Greedy Demon Body got a Greed Heart; it turns out the Greed Heart was provided by the Heavenly Demon!

The reason the Greedy Demon Body became so powerful was entirely because of this Greed Heart. Without it, the Greedy Demon Body would have merely been a demigod, and couldn’t have overpowered Huang Yi and his team, and might have even been countered by them!

But because of having a Greed Heart from the same origin, the Greedy Demon Body immediately advanced to the level of a Mortal God, almost instantly creating a god from thin air!

The Heavenly Demon was already the only Divine Domain player in the world, recognized as the world’s number one master. Now with a Greed Heart, he has become an invincible existence!

No one on the field is a match for him, not even able to withstand a single move!

"We must gather together quickly and resist the Heavenly Demon with combined force!" The Thunder God shouted, as the Sea God Pillar in his hand radiated bright light...

...

On the other side, Huang Yi had already passed through the thunder hole in the third level’s cloud and reached the range of the Sixth Stage.

Once through the clouds, the sunlight poured down on him, warm and cozy.

Soon, the sunlight from all directions flowed towards him as if substantial, all converging onto the Wings of the Sun Chaser on his back, being absorbed and converted into his movement speed.

Huang Yi’s body immediately turned into a streak of phantom, rapidly racing towards the Seventh Challenge, moving faster than anyone else.

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Little Rascal] has died."

At this moment, a system prompt suddenly rang out!

Huang Yi’s heart sank instantly. He subconsciously raised his head, gazing towards the area of the Seventh Challenge.

It remained calm there, but beneath the ground of that mountain region, a world-shaking battle must be going on.

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Dante] has died."

Soon, another system prompt emerged, like a death knell, bringing an urgent sense of impending doom!

From this, it could be deduced that some earth-shattering change must have occurred in the cave, causing the Heavenly Demon’s side to suddenly increase in strength, swiftly slaughtering his teammates.

Huang Yi gritted his teeth, pushing his speed to the limit, swiftly shuttling through the Sixth Stage’s rubble, rapidly closing the distance to the Seventh Challenge!

"You must hold on! I’ve reached the Sixth Stage and will soon meet up with you!" Huang Yi immediately sent a team message.

"The Heavenly Demon took back the Greed Heart from the Greedy Demon Body and became invincible! All of us together are no match for him, and are now using every defensive technique to hold off his onslaught!!" The Thunder God quickly replied with a message, each word brimming with urgency.

Huang Yi was immediately shocked!

The Greed Heart of the Greedy Demon Body is actually the Heavenly Demon’s?

With the Greed Heart, to what extent would the Heavenly Demon’s strength rise?

Since he had the Greed Heart, why did the Heavenly Demon hold off using it until he was forced?

For a moment, Huang Yi had many questions, his mind racing as he pondered countermeasures.

The reason the Heavenly Demon is strong is largely because he happens to be the first demigod player in the world, while other players are not yet demigods. During this lead time, he becomes extremely terrifying relative to other players!

If Huang Yi doesn’t reach the Demigod Level, no matter what means he employs, he cannot be a match for the Heavenly Demon.

After thinking for a while, Huang Yi immediately sent a team message: "Thunder God, has your Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields cooldown ended?"

"It has ended!" Thunder God quickly replied.

"When I get there, I will use Level Up to reach level 300 again, then use Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields with me to keep me at the Demigod Level! Only by reaching Demigod Level will I have the qualification to fight the Heavenly Demon."

"Doesn’t your Level Up have a very long cooldown?" Poet asked with doubt.

"I have my own ways!" Huang Yi replied simply.

Next, Huang Yi immediately used a long-unused hero skill—

Skill Refresh!

After becoming a hero, players at each status hierarchy can learn a powerful hero skill.

Huang Yi’s Divine Domain Hero Skill, called [Skill Coercion]: after use, it forcibly triggers any major skill of an enemy with a cooldown over 10 days, with a cooldown of 1 hour. The skill can only be used a maximum of three times on the same enemy within a month.

And his Heavenly Domain Hero Skill is [Skill Refresh]: After using, refresh all cooldown times of skills, excluding those with a total cooldown of over 30 days. Cooldown period is 100 days.

The last time he used this skill refresh, and the only time he used it, was after the Reincarnation during the national war. Now, more than 100 days of cooldown have passed, so he can use it again.

Yun immediately activated the skill refresh, and a faint green light emanated from his body, rotating around him, bringing a refreshing sensation, as if he smelled mint, boosting his spirits.

Next, all his skills with cooldown times less than 30 days, including Level Up, were ready for immediate use.

However, most of his ultimate moves had already been fused into Wings of Death, Wings of Protection, Wings of Freedom, and Wings of Slaughter, and could no longer be used separately.

Seeing the Level Up was ready, Yun finally regained a bit of confidence.

When he returns to the grotto, he will utilize Level Up to temporarily rise to the Demigod Level, combine it with the Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields of Thunder God, wield the level six artifact embryo Wrath of the Godslayer, and along with the second artifact skill and the multiple upgrades of Kiss of Death, he should barely be able to contend with the Heavenly Demon.

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Pharaoh] has died."

At this moment, another system prompt sounded!

Pharaoh was one of the strongest players on Yun’s side, with strength similar to the Thunder God, but now he was also killed by the Heavenly Demon!

Previously, when facing the Greedy Demon Body at the Fifth Level, Pharaoh left his artifact the "Bible of Faith" to protect Yun, and after that artifact’s barrier was broken by the Greedy Demon Body, the "Bible of Faith" ended up in Yun’s hands. Yun hadn’t had the chance to return it to Pharaoh, which greatly weakened Pharaoh’s strength.

Yun quickly hurried along, with the Wings of the Sun Chaser on his back absorbing more and more sunlight, propelling his movement speed faster and faster.

Along the way, he would receive notifications of a teammate’s death from time to time.

Under normal circumstances, these super-first-class masters rarely died even once a year, but now they perished one after another to save The Second World.

The surviving teammates were becoming fewer, unsure how many would be left by the time he got back.

...

In the grotto, the Heavenly Demon’s slaughter had reached its final stage, and only a few of Yun’s team remained struggling to hold on.

Everyone used their strongest defensive techniques, fully resisting the Heavenly Demon’s attacks.

The Thunder God expanded the bubble of the Sea God Domain, isolating space, blocking the Heavenly Demon, Spirit Demon People, and the male BOSS from the Seventh Challenge outside, fully protecting their lives.

But the Heavenly Demon’s Magic Dragon Wings were spatial-type Divine Artifacts, able to ignore spatial barriers, they still broke through the bubble of the Sea God Domain, entering its interior, continuing the slaughter.

"It’s useless, unless you ascend to the Divine Domain, you are nothing but ants before me." The Heavenly Demon licked his lips, smiling evilly, casually striking towards Kid with a palm.

Kid hurriedly applied various life recovery and defense measures to himself, but the Heavenly Demon’s palm was like the hand of a Death God, breaking through all his defenses with unstoppable force, pressing on his chest.

"Boom~" The Heavenly Demon’s palm directly pierced through Kid’s back, gripping his heart with bloodstained fingers.

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Kid] has died."

The team received another despairing system prompt!

With Kid dead, alongside Pharaoh, who had already fallen in battle, the only two priests in the team are now both gone!

Losing the priests means losing the team’s endurance ability, making it impossible to continue holding on!

"Not good, my Ghostly Wild Lion can’t hold on any longer!" At this moment, Fuchan Fenrao exclaimed.

Her signature beast-taming pet, the Ghostly Wild Lion, was a powerful creature from the Underworld, with two heads and four eyes, each with different abilities. The ability of the right eye on the left head is a petrifying gaze, which would petrify enemies, and even those more powerful than it would be hindered, with greatly reduced movement speed.

Yet, despite being such an extraordinary pet, even the Ghostly Wild Lion had been beaten to a pulp by the Heavenly Demon, barely clinging to life!

"Your pet is not bad, but you are too weak!" The Heavenly Demon smiled, crushing the two heads of the Ghostly Wild Lion with bare hands, tearing it in two.

Then, with a sweep from the Heavenly Demon’s Magic Dragon Wings, his body appeared directly in front of Fuchan Fenrao, slaying her with a palm strike.

"[System Prompt]: Your teammate [Fuchan Fenrao] has died."

Now, the only two female players in the team, Little Rascal and Fuchan Fenrao, are both dead.

Only the males were left in the team, and the unending Desire Flame ignited once again, instantly reducing everyone’s All Attributes by 50%!

There’s no hope!

They were already only a few survivors, and now with an additional 50% reduction in All Attributes, there’s no way to fight!

"Everyone, protect the Thunder God at all costs, he must hold on until the arrival of the Godslayer, they are our only hope!" At this moment, the Pope shouted solemnly, raising the Thunderbolt Staff and thrusting it fiercely into his own chest!

Demon Clan players aren’t deleted and reincarnated upon death; they only face such a penalty after The Seven Archdemons are all dead. Before the Archdemons’ death, Demon Clan players’ death penalties are the same as normal players.
