Heroes' Prison

Chapter 848 - 802: Fleeing to the Ends of the Earth

If they used other forms of attack, such as physical attacks or elemental attacks, Huang Yi might indeed suffer heavy damage, but they unexpectedly used dark attribute attacks!

Dark attribute attacks are essentially demonic series attacks, which Huang Yi fears the least. Upon awakening the Nefalem’s bloodline, his first talent was the Body of the Demon God, one of whose parameters granted him complete immunity to 100% of darkness-based damage.

These demons using dark attribute attacks could never harm him, not even if the Fallen Messengers, Fallen Generals, or the Seven Archdemons themselves were to come—it would all end the same way!

This is the power of Nefalem’s Bloodline, a race surpassing demigods! It renders the demons’ most skilled dark attribute attacks completely null!

Of course, if the Seven Archdemons were to arrive, they could still crush Huang Yi with a single finger. After all, beings of their caliber possess unimaginably powerful physical attacks.

Thanks to this delay, Huang Yi managed to deal a significant amount of damage, reducing the bloodlust-filled demons’ health points further and further.

"It seems like our attacks can’t harm him at all!"

"Why is this happening?"

The horde of demons outside, seeing their attacks fail repeatedly, couldn’t help exchanging confused looks.

Their commanding officer, a powerful and battle-hardened leader, seemed well-informed. He snarled, "Break down this door immediately! I want to see if he can withstand my axe! He’s already cornered inside—there’s no escape for him!" Saying this, he brandished his axe once more, slamming it against the door to widen the breach.

The rest of the demons joined in, attacking the door relentlessly. Once it was broken down, they’d be able to unleash all kinds of attacks on Huang Yi!

"Heavy Judgment!" Finally, Huang Yi’s Bloodstained War Halberd landed the decisive blow, obliterating the demon entirely. A level-191 Demon Core fell from the air!

With sharp reflexes, he quickly extended his hand and snatched the Demon Core firmly!

"Damn it! He actually killed Lord Du’er Rong!" When the demons outside saw this, they roared in rage, intensifying their assaults on the door!

The door was already wobbling, and it wouldn’t take long to break through. Once they stormed inside, their physical attacks could easily kill Huang Yi!

Huang Yi immediately took Little Dragon back and glanced outside at the group of demons, before leaping into the pool in the room.

"He jumped into the Demon Water?! Such foolishness!" The demons’ eyes were locked onto the pool.

"Boom!" At last, the battered door was shattered to pieces, scattering debris across the room.

The enraged captain instantly charged into the room, diving into the pool and swinging his massive axe furiously!

The violent movement splashed the Demon Water everywhere, sprinkling the room’s corners!

"Come out!" The other demons yelled as they unleashed their own attacks into the pool.

Soon, they realized in horror that the pool was completely empty—there was no one there!

They had clearly seen Huang Yi jump into the pool earlier, and with no other exits in the room, his sudden disappearance was incomprehensible!

By that time, Huang Yi had already escaped combat mode, reverting to the Treasure-Sniffing Cat form and slipping into a narrow water channel within the pool, vanishing without a trace.

Having secured his prize, the Demon Core, it was time for him to leave. The Desolate Magic Temple would surely implement emergency measures upon learning of his infiltration, making it nearly impossible to kill more demons.

Huang Yi returned to the enormous magic pool, where he snuck into another water channel and soon emerged into a new room.

The room was empty, its door wide open, allowing free passage.

Shapeshifting into the form of an Eyeless Demon, Huang Yi dashed out of the room, moving at maximum speed toward the Desolate Magic Temple’s exit!

In the corridors, he could sense demons rushing about, their footsteps echoing densely. Every demon held a weapon, their expressions vigilant, scanning the surroundings cautiously. Huang Yi’s swift escape stood out starkly amidst their behavior.

"Everyone, search thoroughly and don’t let anyone escape!" Soon, Huang Yi heard a commanding voice resonate throughout the temple, signaling the arrival of an important figure to investigate the incident. The exposure of this event had indeed escalated rapidly!

The situation had been teetering on the brink of exposure anyway. The weakening magic pool’s Demon Water would inevitably alert the demons, even if Huang Yi hadn’t killed the demon earlier. A complete cover-up was simply impossible!

Huang Yi continued weaving through the demons one by one, resolutely charging toward the exit, as though heading for a gate to salvation!

By now, the demons guarding the exit had begun sealing the grand temple door, aiming to blockade the entire Desolate Magic Temple!

Once that door closed, escaping would become impossible, and he’d be hunted down and killed within the temple!

Huang Yi was determined to escape. Anticipating this exact scenario, he immediately took measures, summoning Little Dragon and leaping onto its back before activating the Thunder Guard Bracers’ new skill, "Lightning Conductor"!

In an instant, both he and Little Dragon were enveloped in a layer of crackling lightning arcs, granting them tenfold speed enhancement!

The surrounding demons, initially poised and still, suddenly noticed a lightning-cloaked figure riding a dragon-like creature appear among them. They instinctively turned their gaze to him!

But Huang Yi was too fast. All they perceived was a fleeting flash of lightning before he disappeared entirely! His speed was akin to an actual lightning bolt!

At the door, the guards finally spotted Huang Yi, the uninvited intruder, and unleashed their attacks upon him!

However, their attacks were all demonic series attacks, which couldn’t affect Huang Yi at all. Their efforts were futile at stopping his charge!

These guards were highly trained demon elites, and upon realizing their attacks were ineffective, they quickly adapted their tactics, thrusting their spears toward the doorway to block Huang Yi’s escape!

If Huang Yi were to force his way through, he risked being skewered entirely!

As he approached the wall of spears, Huang Yi’s body transformed once more, activating his Mutated Half-Beastman form!

Next, he deployed the racial skill available in this form and his strongest life-saving ability—Vajra Body!

[Vajra Body]: Usable only in Mutated Half-Beastman form. Temporarily converts attack power into survival capability, reducing attack power, critical hit rate, and critical hit effect by 90%; enhances health points, defense points, and dodge value tenfold. Duration: 20 minutes. Cooldown time: 10 days.

With Vajra Body activated, Huang Yi could ignore the attacks from the spears. Without hesitation, he charged straight ahead on Little Dragon’s back!

"Whoosh!" In that briefest moment, just as the grand temple door was about to shut, Huang Yi shot through like lightning!

While he did sustain damage from the spears, the injury was negligible in the face of Vajra Body’s defensive power.

The only downside was that he and Little Dragon’s Lightning Conductor status had been disrupted, reducing their speed tenfold back to normal.

Outside, the blood-red sky appeared once more. The suffocating crimson radiance now felt like the glow of life itself, its beauty startlingly vivid. Even the air, previously nausea-inducing, smelled refreshingly clean.

Huang Yi had finally escaped with his life!

"Little Dragon, accelerate flight!" He patted Little Dragon’s head urgently.

Little Dragon immediately activated its speed enhancement, soaring swiftly toward the exit of the Desolate Demon Lands!

Huang Yi pushed for maximum speed to flee the Desolate Demon Lands. Once he escaped, he could seek refuge in the Desolate City and avoid calamity. The city’s constant garrison would deter any demon from recklessly launching an assault!

"The culprit has broken out of the temple—pursue him!" The door guards, reacting belatedly, shouted loudly, alerting the entire temple!

The shouting attracted the attention of the entire Desolate Magic Temple. All focus converged upon Huang Yi!

Within the temple, the mighty presence issued another command to all demons: "The culprit is a Half-Beastman! All demons, proceed to the Desolate Demon Lands and eliminate every Half-Beastman you find!"

Upon hearing this order, all demons with minor injuries rushed out from various rooms, overflowing into the corridors.

One by one, the armed demons charged angrily toward the exit!

The entire Desolate Magic Temple burst into an uproar, and countless demons boiled with rage, their dark instincts igniting!

"Those Half-Beastmen dare act so brazenly, even attacking our temple!"

"Every Half-Beastman must die!"

A cacophony of furious shouts erupted as the blame shifted entirely onto the Half-Beastmen clan, with the demons directing their enmity at their race.

Huang Yi’s final transformation into a Half-Beastman not only safeguarded his life but also successfully misled the demons.

...

Elsewhere in a corner of the Desolate Demon Lands, the Hanging Ghost and his group of over a hundred Half-Beastmen were battling another demon.

After Huang Yi snatched away their previous target, a level-199 demon, they had painstakingly found a new one.

This lone demon was level-193, far less valuable than the level-199 demon, but they had no other choice. Such things depend on luck—it’s not something that can be readily found.

"Attack harder! Stay alert and prevent that wretched thief from ambushing us again!" The Hanging Ghost barked commands while gritting his teeth in palpable frustration, still outraged over Huang Yi stealing their boss earlier.
