Chapter 239: Chapter 235: Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa

"Clang!"

Lynn’s war axe swung down, and before it could slash Mochel’s true form, a sound rang out like a bell being struck.

At the same time, a pale yellow shield appeared, wrapping Mochel like an eggshell; it was the magic shield he conjured after connecting to the array.

That egg-like magic shield seemed only a thin layer, yet it could withstand Lynn’s casual strike. Its defensive capabilities were indeed impressive.

However, since he switched to the war axe, replacing the Demon Emperor’s Staff, the effects of Lynn’s Demon Emperor’s Armor were nullified, so the strength of this strike wasn’t his high-output attack.

"Hehehe! His Majesty the Demon Emperor actually has such cautious moments, eh?"

Seeing the magic shield unmoved under Illidan’s probing attack, Mochel sneered grimly; he always viewed Illidan as a pseudo-Demon Emperor and would only call him ’His Majesty’ in mockery.

"You’re not worth the risk, already meat on the chopping block. Don’t even think about tricking me into cutting my fingers."

While speaking, Lynn increased his output, wielding his axe with all his might. One axe strike made the magic shield violently oscillate as if it could shatter at any moment. Yet, despite the fierce ripples, it ultimately persisted with difficulty.

This guy...

He’s indeed something, raising a shield that can’t be pierced even by his regular state full force. Doesn’t it mean, if he hadn’t obtained the full set of the Demon Emperor’s Armor, he would really have trouble with the Eldest Prince in cracking this array?

"Heh, Illidan, don’t be arrogant. Just wait, my race and the Purgatory Demon Race’s main forces are still present. Even if I fall here, once my two races recuperate a bit, they’ll unite and return to reclaim the Demon Realm. They’ll surely retake the throne; it’s just a pity that the future Demon Emperor seat will be left to my foolish brother, but that’s still better than you, the impostor emperor stealing the position!"

Successively blocking Illidan’s attacks, Mochel’s confidence surged, although he realistically couldn’t withstand many such strikes. But the Demigod’s speed was incredibly fast. With this magic shield and the miniature Palace Protection Array, it already secured them a lifeline.

"Noisy! If all you have is this turtle shell, don’t blame me, His Majesty, for being ruthless in demon slaying!"

Finding the Eldest Prince’s absolute defense impenetrable in normal states, Lynn simply got daringly bold assuming he also had life-saving Divine Artifacts as assurance. Yet, those effective life-saving artifacts against Near Gods were too precious, unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to use a single one.

But if he kept being delayed by the Eldest Prince now, those Yellow Springs Demon Kings would truly get away. If they escaped this part of the Great World, then even he couldn’t chase them.

So Lynn stowed the war axe and again equipped the Demon Emperor’s Staff. As soon as he equipped the staff, he immediately enjoyed a 100% boost in all attributes.

With attributes skyrocketing, even though the staff’s physical attack power was far inferior to the war axe, the output still exploded more.

Lynn, holding the Demon Emperor’s Staff, looked at the Eldest Prince’s turtle shell and vigorously struck it with a smack of the staff, producing a muffled "bang." Following that, the previously robust magic shield cracked open.

The next moment, the shell protecting Mochel shattered completely, turned into faintly yellow light rain scattered everywhere.

Inside the broken magic shield, Mochel’s face slightly changed; this was his strongest defense magic, still super-enhanced, yet it couldn’t withstand Illidan’s full-force strike. Though he resented obtaining the Demon Emperor’s position like this, his strength was undeniably recognized.

"Come, Illidan, I have twelve life-saving Demon Artifacts. By the time you truly kill me, my demons will already be gone without a trace! Hahaha..."

Watching the magic shield collapse, Mochel knew struggling further was futile. In the time he regathered array magic power to construct a new magic shield, Illidan could kill him thrice, and even if he reconstructed the magic shield, it would only delay for one more instant with no real significance.

Coldly watching the fearless Mochel, Lynn glanced at the allied two-race Demigods bound within several hundred meters by the array.

They also attempted to break out, but no matter how powerful and infinite their attacks were, they couldn’t budge the array a bit, not even creating a ripple.

Lynn casually waved his hand, the amplified horrifying magic power brushed past Mochel’s ear and crashed into the outer skies, but at a slightly further spot, it collided with an air wall. His powerful magic impact merely caused the wall a slight ripple before returning to tranquility.

"It’s useless. As long as the Eldest Prince isn’t dead, this array can’t be broken unless you possess the Power of the Demon God!"

Seeing Illidan still relentless, Mochel couldn’t help but mockingly speak again; this was a replica of the Demon Emperor Palace’s Protection Array. If regular demons could forcefully break it, then it would mean extinction for his Yellow Springs Demon clan here.

"Such a bother, killing you doesn’t come as satisfyingly as killing a hundred."

Lynn couldn’t help but mutter, and without waiting for Mochel to speak nonsense, he immediately smashed his head with a strike of the staff.

Yet, moments later, Mochel, who should’ve died, restored as before, thanks to a life-saving Demon Artifact taking effect, sparing him once.

After this, Lynn mercilessly killed Mochel eleven more times. Throughout, Mochel resisted with every possible means and erected several magic shields, but collectively only delayed Lynn by three minutes.
