Gamers Are Fierce-Chapter 877 - 876: Goat

Sword shadows, beast roars, Buddha light, tsunami.

In the Spiritual Sense, the surrounding violent energy fluctuations were as dazzling as a shattered sun.

Li Ang swung his lance to deflect a beast's claw, and with a backhand dissolution ray, melted away the head of some demon.

The center of the battlefield was extremely chaotic at this moment,

The demon commander Rock Mountain, standing before the Demonflame Hurricane, smashed his fist into the ground, and the soil under all the players suddenly extended into nearly ten-meter-long conical rock pillars, forcing constant shifts to avoid being impaled.

The elongated body of the Evil Hornless Dragon coiled into a ball, its head's sharp horn shrouded in a flickering purple glow,

Every time the purple light flashed, a light cannon would burst from its snake mouth, obliterating everything in its path—the diameter and destructive power of the light cannon exceeded that of the Catastrophe Golem, and its cooldown was shorter, almost unnoticeable in requiring energy.

[Earth Burst]

[Chaos Wall]

[Dharama's Lightning Javelin]

[Roaring Spell]

...

The Book of Sand in Hoenhem's hand flipped on its own without wind, rapidly turning pages, constantly releasing intermediate spells to block the onslaught of the demons.

The composed and elegant demeanor was long gone,

His face gradually turned pale, sweat seeping constantly from his forehead, his hand holding the Book of Sand trembling slightly.

The Book of Sand could indeed assist in casting spells, reducing consumption, but it wasn't without cost,

Every time a spell was cast, a seemingly endless page would automatically disappear,

A mage would have to be commissioned anew to copy it, re-infuse it with Magic Power for restoration.

Once too many spells were used, it would provoke the Book of Sand's displeasure, resulting in a Mental Shock from the latter—this forbidden book inherited from the sages possesses a certain level of self-awareness, maintaining a tacit co-operative relationship with the Mortal Realm Bell Tower.

It is not a master-servant relationship with Hoenhem either.

[Malicious Transformation Spell]

Hoenhem recited an incantation, temporarily transforming a pouncing Six-legged Ferocious Giant Tiger into a small, cute four-legged ginger cat,

At the same time, he secretly released Dissolution, turning the soil beneath the demon commanders Rock Mountain and Evil Hornless Dragon into loose sand,

Then quickly cast Otlok Exocism Ward and Sand Binding Death, transforming the sand into ropes capable of resisting demonic powers, attempting to directly strangle Rock Mountain and the Evil Hornless Dragon.

To this end, he also released Bone Corroding Acid, causing green acid to gush from the void, pouring over the demon heads, corroding the scalp of the demon commanders with a sizzling sound.

In the distance, Side Truth, avoiding the light cannon, without hesitation, teleported Flash atop Rock Mountain and Evil Hornless Dragon.

Apart from inside the Demonflame Hurricane, there were no anti-teleportation space anchors around,

Every time Side Truth flashed, he would leave a large floating mass of black Star Realm material behind, studded with star-like lights.

Side Truth clasped his hands together, palms like opposite poles of a magnet, seemingly slow yet quickly pulling apart diagonally,

Azure lightning burst from his palms, striking the demon commanders below.

At the same time, Tai Hao stealthily approached, summoning an Air Dragon, hurling it down onto Rock Mountain and Evil Hornless Dragon from above.

"Hiss—"

The Evil Hornless Dragon let out a long hiss, its purple horn atop its head emanated a faint glow, shattering all the binding sand that held it and Rock Mountain,

The freed Rock Mountain roared in fury, wiping away the green acid trickling down its forehead, and stepped forward,

The soil ahead instantly cracked open, and two nearly hundred-meter-long conical rock pillars skewered out, aimed at Tai Hao and Side Truth.

With the demon commanders' physique, Hoenhem's Bone Corroding Acid released by the Book of Sand couldn't melt their skin or bones, but when it seeped into the eyes, it truly hurt, hurt a lot.

"Stop!"

The Evil Hornless Dragon swung its tail, mercilessly whipping it against Rock Mountain's neck, causing it to stagger, and the conical rock pillars ceased to grow. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The enraged Rock Mountain steadied its steps, its single eye red and swollen from the acid's sting, scanning over the Evil Hornless Dragon and the battlefield,

Only then did it realize that the two conical rock pillars it had aimed at Tai Hao and Side Truth, hadn't pierced towards them but towards the Demonflame Hurricane,

Missing only a few dozen meters to penetrate the hurricane and strike the Desolated Lion.

"What a pity..."

Side Truth sighed inwardly, he constantly flashed, leaving Star Realm material in place, for this very moment—to quietly warp the surrounding light using the scattered Star Realm material,

Causing Rock Mountain to misjudge, and using Rock Mountain's solid rock spikes, to break open the energy-devouring Demonflame Hurricane.

Time... was running out.

Side Truth flashed again, evading the Evil Hornless Dragon's strikes,

The opponent seemed to have discerned he and his allies lacked the ability to break the Demonflame Hurricane, thus shifting strategy from pursuit to defense.

"It's been so long without signals from Sleep Demon and Tian Jinghutu, they've either been killed or have left the Lost World. Is it time to use that..."

Side Truth exhaled deeply, shouting to his companions: "Cover me!"

Saying that, he retrieved a dagger-shaped Obsidian Pendant from the void, held it in hand, and intoned: "Source of darkness, origin of sin, blood river of The Abyss, I summon thee—"

Side Truth clenched the pendant, the sharp edges slicing his palm, his blood silently seeping into the Obsidian.

Buzz—

The surrounding space inexplicably shook and quaked, as if hundreds of voices overlapping into one eerie, filthy sound, quietly resounded in front of Side Truth.

With ripple-like undulations, a... goat was summoned in the space before Side Truth.

This white goat sat solemnly on a lacquered brown wooden chair, legs crossed, resting a hand on the armrest, holding a red book in the other, squinting, mouth curled into a faint smile, no extraordinary aura emanating,

It was just an ordinary goat.

Of course, in the present demon-surrounded environment, even the most ordinary goat appeared notably unique,

Only Side Truth, as well as Requiem, one of the vice presidents of the Demon Scientist Alliance still sealed within the Bronze Bell Shadow, knew the true identity of this goat—

Baphomet, the Sabbath Goat, symbol of the second sin of envy, a composite of all demons,

And also the hidden partner providing knowledge to the Demon Scientist Alliance guild—it is the only demon Side Truth has a pact with.

"Another problem, is it?"

The goat sitting on the wooden chair smiled, glanced around, "Still in a script task?"

Side Truth nodded,

The demon self-identified as Baphomet was of extremely high rank, not from Earth, but from an unknown Outer Realm, yet even it couldn't penetrate the barrier of the Kill Field game—the one summoned wasn't its true form,

But rather a projection of its doppelgänger housed within the Obsidian Pendant.

The connection between the doppelgänger and the true form was long severed by the Kill Field game.

"The old rule, one piece of knowledge, in exchange for a favor."

Baphomet's indifferent gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield, its mouth uttering some incomprehensible yet strangely elegant Otherworldly language.
