Heroes' Prison

Chapter 849 - 803: Framing and Setting Up

"From now on, we’ll hunt demons every day. I need to level up to 200 as quickly as possible. Once I reach that level, I’ll enter the Heavenly Realm, and as for that God of Slaughter? He’s nothing but trash that hasn’t even completed his reincarnation yet. I could crush that beast effortlessly!" The Hanging Ghost roared furiously as he launched an attack on the level-193 demon, continuing his vulgar tirade.

"Kill him so thoroughly that he is forced into another reincarnation and can’t get back up again!"

"Reincarnation is too merciful for him. We should torment him repeatedly, killing him back down to level one!"

Other Half-Beastmen joined in, their words dripping with arrogance, treating Huang Yi like a soft target they could crush at will.

"Hm? Someone’s flying in from the horizon! That’s... the God of Slaughter!" Suddenly, a Half-Beastman noticed a dark figure approaching from the sky!

The shadow was none other than Huang Yi’s mount, and riding atop it was Huang Yi in his Half-Beastman form!

At this moment, Huang Yi was glancing behind him. The demons who had been chasing him were not far away. Further in the direction of the Desolate Magic Temple, an overwhelming swarm of demons surged forth, resembling a flock of crows, blotting out the sky as they raced toward him—thousands in number!

The entirety of the Desolate Magic Temple had been emptied, and it was possible that even more demons were pouring out from the Demon King’s Gate, descending upon this place!

Their flight formation was eerily bizarre, with thousands of them forming a massive pair of wings, as if utilizing some kind of formation to boost their flight speed.

This formation significantly enhanced their speed, allowing them to close in on Huang Yi with terrifying velocity. At this rate, they would soon catch up!

Huang Yi had destroyed the Magic Pool and stolen the Dark Stone, a crime guaranteed to enrage the demons beyond belief. If they caught him, unimaginable torture awaited.

Huang Yi turned his gaze downward and saw Hanging Ghost and over a hundred Half-Beastmen below. An idea suddenly flickered through his mind!

Immediately, he shouted toward Hanging Ghost’s group: "The item is secured! Let’s quickly return to the Half-Beast Holy Land!"

Then, urging his Little Dragon forward, he charged straight toward Hanging Ghost and his group of Half-Beastmen!

"So it really is the Half-Beast Holy Land!" The demons chasing after him overheard his words, and their faces contorted with rage as they cursed the Half-Beast Holy Land, further convinced that Huang Yi was sent by the Half-Beastmen race.

Meanwhile, Hanging Ghost’s group, upon hearing Huang Yi’s declaration, were left bewildered and exchanged confused glances.

"Well, aren’t you bold, delivering yourself to us! Everyone, attack!" Hanging Ghost sneered maliciously and, with a wave of his hand, launched an immediate assault on Huang Yi.

The rest of the hundred-plus Half-Beastmen followed suit, unleashing wave upon wave of attacks. The barrage was so intense that Huang Yi was instantly engulfed and surrounded!

Previously, Huang Yi would have been utterly incapable of surviving such a ferocious onslaught. However, he was now in Vajra Body mode, with his survival attributes boosted tenfold! Fending off the attacks from over a hundred Half-Beastmen posed no issue!

Moreover, all of Huang Yi’s talents in his Half-Beastman form were geared toward enhancing survivability, including one specifically designed to counter the Half-Beastmen race—

[Kin Slayer]: Insight into the Half-Beastmen’s abilities allows damage from their attacks to be halved. During combat against Half-Beastmen, damage output is doubled. In Beast King Form, this talent’s effect is halved.

Thus, attacks from the Half-Beastmen inflicted only half the usual damage on him!

Additionally, his "Legal Protection" talent ensured he could only take up to 10 instances of damage per second!

These survival skills allowed Huang Yi, despite being only level 120-plus, to remain well-protected against the hundred-plus Half-Beastmen as he continued his descent.

Meanwhile, the thousands of demons from the horizon were rapidly closing in, their sheer numbers blotting out the sky, casting immense shadows over the ground below!

"Damn the Half-Beastmen! Halt immediately and surrender the Dark Stone! Prepare for torment!" The swarm of demons roared as they pursued, their fury boundless!

The demons had deduced that Huang Yi had stolen the Dark Stone after arriving at the Desolate Magic Temple, where a high-ranking demon had failed to detect it.

However, since Huang Yi had altered his appearance and identity within the temple, the demons only knew him as a Half-Beastman and had no idea he was, in fact, the feared God of Slaughter!

Hanging Ghost’s group also heard the distant shouts from the sky and instinctively looked up.

Aghast, they saw the massive swarm of demons racing toward them, their faces turning deathly pale.

"Dear heavens! That’s... thousands of demons!"

"What is happening?! Are they revolting?"

Hanging Ghost’s group of Half-Beastmen began muttering in shock, their hands trembling against their weapons.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Huang Yi descended rapidly into the midst of the Half-Beastmen, dismounted from Little Dragon, and merged seamlessly into their ranks.

"Shadow Dance!" Huang Yi muttered, and his form vanished, deploying his invisibility skill.

The invisibility skill lasted only 10 seconds and offered merely an ordinary invisibility effect, making him detectable by stealth-related abilities. However, it did possess one key advantage—during this 10 seconds, he remained completely imperceptible!

Despite the barrage of attacks from the Half-Beastmen directed at him, none could breach his stealth mode!

"Pursuit!" Enduring the surrounding damage, Huang Yi dashed out of the crowd with incredible agility using his invisibility.

After the Pursuit skill was divinized, each charge covered a distance of 80 meters, allowing Huang Yi to chain five consecutive charges from his runes, spanning an impressive 400 meters and leaving the Half-Beastmen far behind!

"Absolute Invisibility!" Huang Yi activated his stealth skill again, transitioning to Absolute Invisibility!

The advantage of Absolute Invisibility was that it rendered him immune to detection by even the most advanced stealth-related skills. As long as he avoided attacks or initiating combat, the skill could persist for up to 5 minutes. Furthermore, its cooldown was also 5 minutes, enabling continuous usage!

Now 400 meters away from the Half-Beastmen, Huang Yi was safely beyond their attack range, making Absolute Invisibility the perfect choice.

With this layered interplay of stealth abilities, Huang Yi escaped completely unnoticed, leaving the Half-Beastmen and no trace of himself behind.

The demonic swarm overhead, still fixated on the Half-Beastmen, remained convinced Huang Yi was hiding amongst them.

After seeing Huang Yi dive down into the midst of the Half-Beastmen, the demons were certain he had not escaped. All the Half-Beastmen were accounted for, none having fled.

"Surround them! We will use the most savage methods to torture them bit by bit!" The thousands of demons, moving like rapid lightning, descended with bloodthirsty cries, immediately encircling Hanging Ghost and his hundred-plus Half-Beastmen!

The demons formed layers of containment, a solid lock that no one inside could break through!

Confident Huang Yi was still among the Half-Beastmen, the demons halted their pursuit and tightened their encirclement.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi, the true culprit, had long vanished into the ether, leaving Hanging Ghost’s ill-fated group to shoulder the blame and face the wrath of every demon in the Desolate Demon Lands!

"Hand over the Dark Stone!" The demon leader stepped forward, addressing Hanging Ghost’s group with a tone of command.

This high-ranking demon, previously stationed at the Desolate Magic Temple, stood like a mountainous colossus before the trembling group. His overwhelming aura poured out like a tidal wave, crushing down on them.

"Dark Stone? What Dark Stone?" Hanging Ghost stammered, peering at the towering demon leader. Frightened, the group ceased their attacks on the level-193 Demon BOSS and withdrew.

The level-193 Demon BOSS hurriedly fled to join the demons outside, turning back to Hanging Ghost’s group with an outraged roar: "How dare you attack me?! Every one of you will die here! Attack them now!"

The demon leader patted the BOSS’s shoulder and said, "Don’t worry. Their deaths are inevitable, but before they die, they will surrender the Dark Stone—or face the cruelest end imaginable." His eyes narrowed as he gazed mercilessly at Hanging Ghost’s group, radiating bloodthirsty cruelty.

Hanging Ghost protested frantically: "You’re mistaken! We don’t even know what the Dark Stone is! That Half-Beastman wasn’t one of us! He’s the God of Slaughter, an enemy of our Half-Beastmen Clan! Didn’t you see? We were attacking him just moments ago."

"Oh?" The demon leader smirked. "If he’s your enemy, then hand him over to me."

Hanging Ghost swallowed nervously and commanded, "Search everywhere! Find that beastly God of Slaughter!"

The group of Half-Beastmen turned their heads and began scanning their surroundings. Some activated stealth-detection skills to search thoroughly.

But Huang Yi had already slipped away unnoticed, leaving them fruitless in their search.

Seeing no sign of Huang Yi, Hanging Ghost hesitated and stammered, "He—he somehow vanished. We clearly saw him land here just moments ago."

The demon leader’s expression turned icy, his patience wearing thin. "Don’t make up stories. My patience is limited! This is your final chance—surrender the Dark Stone!"

"We truly don’t have it!" blurted one desperate Half-Beastman.

"Swoosh!" The demon leader opened his mouth and extended a whip-like tongue that instantly wrapped around the protesting Half-Beastman, dragging him into his mouth and chewing slowly.

"Ahhh!" The Half-Beastman let out a spine-chilling scream before falling silent, his severed arm raining blood as it dropped to the ground.

"Hmm, quite delicious!" The demon leader swallowed the crushed Half-Beastman, then licked his lips appreciatively before setting his sights squarely on Hanging Ghost. (To be continued.
