Heroes' Prison

Chapter 894 - 846: The Fall of the Strong

The enemy’s eight top-tier experts were all defeated by Dragon Spike alone. He did not rely on the Hero Legion at all!

Among them was Heavenly Dao, who was completely overpowered in just one move, proving he was no match for Dragon Spike.

Dragon Spike was currently using a Hero Skill that allowed him to move like the wind temporarily and dramatically increase his attributes! This skill was something even Heavenly Domain experts like Fallen Messenger and Sea Dragon Emperor did not possess. Under the effect of this Hero Skill, Dragon Spike had become an almost invincible presence on the battlefield!

Ganges had prepared in advance. His fingers, holding a leaf, immediately pulled down!

Instantly, a World Tree leaf was plucked by him!

His face was full of anguish, but his hands continued swiftly, tossing the leaf upward without stopping!

Suddenly, the leaf replicated into thousands upon thousands of copies, enveloping him tightly as if he had donned a leaf-made armor.

A small portion of the replicated leaves flew onto the bodies of the remaining seven top-tier experts, offering them a slight layer of protection.

Ganges frantically waved the tree branch, releasing beams of green light continuously to empower the group of eight. The World Tree leaf’s presence seemed to amplify the green light, making this round even more potent, stabilizing the defenses around them again.

Afterward, Ganges bypassed Dragon Spike and continued to run forward.

Heavenly Dao also sped up his escape. Being the fastest among the eight top-tier experts, he practically vanished into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.

Ronald, being in the Knight class and the most resilient, activated a life-saving skill and charged forward wildly.

Miyamoto Musashi pulled out a potion and quickly downed it, boosting his survivability.

Each of the top-tier experts unleashed their trump cards, desperately trying to escape this formidable foe, Dragon Spike!

Dragon Spike never ceased his assault. His movements were like a gust of wind, flickering back and forth, with his dagger stabbing repeatedly at a speed almost too fast to catch.

"Splat, splat, splat!" A strange scene unfolded. Enemy top-tier experts repeatedly suffered attacks, yet the attacker’s figure remained unseen.

The green light fortified by Ganges grew dimmer and dimmer!

Finally, Dante was the first to lose all of his green light. Ganges could no longer protect him! He hastily activated a life-saving skill and continued his frantic escape.

Next was Miyamoto Musashi. The green light surrounding him was also depleted, but he relied on the potion to prolong his survival.

And so, the three seconds were nearly over, and the immobilized Fallen Messenger—thanks to Yang Yuheng’s skill—was finally about to wake up!

Dragon Spike’s silhouette almost instantly appeared high in the air, reappearing behind Fallen Messenger.

His left hand took out a potion previously handed to him by Huang Yi and gulped it down fiercely. His right hand wielded the dagger and slashed it toward Fallen Messenger’s neck, the blade gleaming silver-white in the air—a signature Cut Throat skill of assassins!

Immediately, a burst of black demonic blood sprayed from Fallen Messenger’s neck, splattering the sky.

The invading army’s eight top-tier experts finally escaped Dragon Spike’s threat, stabilizing their health points and escaping safely.

"I declare: Dante and Miyamoto Musashi—dead!" At that moment, Huang Yi’s familiar voice resounded through the forest!

The World Tree green light surrounding Dante and Miyamoto Musashi had been shattered by Dragon Spike, with no immunity left against Huang Yi’s Judgment Skill. They could only succumb!

"Boom!" Thunderclouds filled the sky instantly, accompanied by flashes of lightning, illuminating the gloomy world in intervals. A bolt of massive lightning struck down, drawing Huang Yi, Miyamoto Musashi, and Dante into the air.

Subsequently, Huang Yi’s form blurred and transformed into the Treasure-Sniffing Cat, vanishing into thin air with his Void Skill.

His goal was to stall Dante and Miyamoto Musashi, preventing their escape, while Dragon Spike and Yang Yuheng dealt with Fallen Messenger first. Afterward, it would be Dante and Miyamoto Musashi’s turn to meet their end.

As for the other six top-tier experts, there was nothing Huang Yi could do to stop them since Ganges fortified them with the green light from the World Tree, granting them immunity to his Judgment Skill.

In no time, the six top-tier experts vanished beyond the horizon, fully escaping the slaughter.

The other members of the Hero Legion also fled far away, avoiding this battlefield altogether.

An area once teeming with activity suddenly fell silent, leaving only six individuals behind—Yang Yuheng, Dragon Spike, Fallen Messenger, and within the Void Battlefield, Huang Yi, Dante, and Miyamoto Musashi.

"Damn it!" Miyamoto Musashi cursed angrily. Unable to escape, he lashed out in frustration. Having already been killed by Huang Yi before, his level was the lowest among the invading army’s top-tier experts, and now, he was likely to fall here again, resulting in another level drop.

Dante’s expression darkened. He was the first top-tier expert to die by Huang Yi’s hand in this nation war and had been seeking revenge ever since. But now, it seemed he was destined to relive his downfall.

Outside the Void Battlefield, the intense battle between Fallen Messenger and Dragon Spike, with Yang Yuheng supporting, raged on.

Fallen Messenger was exceptionally powerful, his every move causing mountains to collapse and earth to shatter. His weapon was a crude Stone Axe that unleashed waves of black qi with every strike, devastating large areas. Trees were flattened in clusters, the land was overturned, and an endless stream of dust filled the air!

The world was shrouded in gloom, further darkened by the oppressive thunderclouds, transforming the area into what resembled a somber Demon Clan domain.

Within this eerie atmosphere, Dragon Spike, the king of darkness, moved unpredictably, appearing now in the sky and then on the ground, his true figure almost impossible to discern, existing mostly as a phantom. While Fallen Messenger was powerful, he lacked agility, resorting to wide-range attack skills to bombard the surroundings relentlessly, hoping to hit Dragon Spike.

Amid this desolate, demonic qi, Yang Yuheng occasionally emitted beams of Holy Light, piercing through layers of darkness to heal Dragon Spike, ensuring he remained capable of fighting. Whenever Fallen Messenger attempted to attack Yang Yuheng, Dragon Spike would appear out of nowhere to deal him a heavy blow, disrupting his offense.

The three battled from ground to sky, falling from the thunderclouds and colliding back on land. Their speed was so extreme they resembled three meteors, dragging brilliant trails of light, constantly changing trajectories and quickly crossing paths in mid-air!

Gradually, the black meteor’s flight grew slower, its movements becoming labored.

It was Fallen Messenger, now showing signs of decline!

Dragon Spike and Yang Yuheng’s teamwork initially allowed them to fight Fallen Messenger to a draw. However, Huang Yi had provided special items—crafted by Oskan Royal Academy from Ancient Giant materials. These items were specifically designed to counter the Demon Clan, exhibiting strong suppressive effects on them.

This factor became the critical point that broke the balance!

"Thud!" Fallen Messenger was struck once more by Dragon Spike and fell directly from the skies, crashing into the ruins of East Mountain Forest, dragging a long trail before finally coming to a stop.

Seeing this, Miyamoto Musashi and Dante’s expressions darkened within the Void Battlefield. They didn’t expect someone as formidable as Fallen Messenger to lose against Dragon Spike.

"Who would’ve thought a Heaven-Sent Hero would be this powerful!" Fallen Messenger wiped the black blood from his mouth, his tone icy cold.

In the next moment, Fallen Messenger clenched his fists, pounding them furiously against his chest, producing rapid "thump-thump-thump" sounds like a raging gorilla!

The sound seemed to synchronize with the heartbeat of everyone present, leaving them unsettled.

"General! Please grant your loyal follower boundless strength!" Fallen Messenger roared while pummeling his body, seemingly preparing to activate a possession-like skill to summon the ’General’ to enhance his power.

"Slash!" At that moment, Dragon Spike appeared behind him, plunging a dagger straight into his neck.

Fallen Messenger’s actions abruptly halted, his skill disrupted!

Dragon Spike had interrupted his activation!

In the Void Battlefield, Miyamoto Musashi felt a chill in his heart. He had a similar skill—Demon King’s Descent, which he used during the Night Rain Eastward Guild battle. It required sacrificing levels to borrow power from the Demon King, greatly amplifying one’s attributes.

If even a skill as strong as Fallen Messenger’s was interrupted by Dragon Spike, his own fate seemed bleak!

"Splat-splat-splat!" Dragon Spike’s figure danced around Fallen Messenger, each stab of his dagger reducing his health points.

Fallen Messenger’s enormous eyes burned with fury. Holding his Stone Axe, he swung it wildly, unleashing waves of demonic qi that devastated the land, but he still couldn’t lay a hand on Dragon Spike.

Fallen Messenger’s injuries worsened, his movements slowed, while Dragon Spike and Yang Yuheng—one attacking and one healing—maintained seamless synergy.

"Whoosh!" Fallen Messenger’s figure suddenly flickered, escaping toward the horizon. He was now attempting to flee!

Dragon Spike and Yang Yuheng transformed into two meteors, relentlessly pursuing him, refusing to let him escape.

Soon, the three disappeared into the horizon.

The area fell into eerie silence. The ground lay in ruins, with trenches everywhere. The once-lush forest had been wiped out entirely.

In the Void Battlefield, Miyamoto Musashi and Dante stood alone, like two declining warlords in their twilight years.

Roughly ten minutes later, two figures emerged in the distance, none other than Yang Yuheng and Dragon Spike.

At this moment, Dragon Spike’s hand held an object.

It was Fallen Messenger’s corpse!

This Demon Clan powerhouse, who had significantly impacted Hero’s Continent history, had finally become part of the land’s history!
