Chapter 972: Each Tactic More Ruthless Than the Last!
Like an earthquake, the ground of the Heavenly Demon Capital shook violently with the booming sound.
The intense tremor even tilted the Blade Tower where the Ten Thousand Blades Demon Sovereign resided.
This scene instantly shocked all the demon soldiers and high-ranking demon commanders throughout the Heavenly Demon Capital.
"What's going on? Why is such a terrifying earthquake happening?"
"Enemy attack? Is it an enemy attack?"
"No! There are no enemies in sight around the city walls! They're stationed over a hundred kilometers away!"
"Then what's happening? A regular earthquake shouldn't be able to shake our city at all!"
"..."
Just as the demon commanders said…
A normal earthquake truly wouldn't be able to shake the Heavenly Demon Capital.
In this world of class advancement, the earthquake scale doesn't stop at magnitude twelve—it goes up to one hundred!
And…
Certain special classes even have skills that can directly trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters.
The Heavenly Demon Capital was carefully constructed by the Ten Thousand Demons.
Its resistance to natural disasters was top-tier.
Even in the case of a top-tier earthquake, the city's foundations wouldn't suffer a scratch, let alone tilt the ground like this.
"Something's wrong! It's like something beneath the ground is pushing up against our foundation!"
At that moment…
Demon soldiers with special sensory abilities detected that the intense tremors were coming from deep underground!
And it seemed like something was repeatedly slamming into the foundation of the Heavenly Demon Capital!
As it turned out, they were absolutely right!
Because after a full three seconds…
Boom!!
From all four sides outside the Heavenly Demon Capital, massive pitch-black vines wrapped in black flames erupted from the earth!
They looked like enormous worms breaking through the ground, brimming with life as they started climbing toward the Heavenly Demon Capital!
Boom!!
After emerging, the tendrils of each vine slammed down hard on the defensive magic array of the Heavenly Demon Capital!
The entire defense array trembled violently!
"Enemy attack! It's definitely an enemy attack! All units, battle stations!"
At that moment, the Ten Thousand Demons were certain the Heavenly Demon Capital was under an unprecedented enemy assault!
They began shouting and rushing to the city walls, activating the flesh-powered magic cannons to bombard the towering vines outside!
But…
It was useless!
Even when the demon soldiers tuned the cannons to maximum output, the shells—powerful enough to level a small town—had no effect on the vines!
Not even scratching their surface!
"What… how is this possible?!"
"What kind of plant is this?!"
The demon soldiers were completely dumbfounded!
Their flesh-magic cannons weren't ordinary weapons!
During earlier battles against the allied forces of various kingdoms, those cannons had contributed significantly.
Even a level 180 powerhouse would struggle after taking a direct hit from one of those shells.
And yet…
These ultra-powerful shells had no effect on the vines!
What the hell!?
"This is bad!"
"The vines are covering the magic array! It looks like they're trying to completely trap us!"
"And something under the ground keeps pushing upward! What the hell is going on!?"
The demon soldiers stared helplessly as the towering vines clung to the magic barrier like they had found their perfect host.
"And it seems like these vines are sucking energy from our magic array!"
"It's true! This…"
Every demon soldier was stunned!
The Demon Emperor stationed at the magic array's control center widened his eyes!
On the screen, the energy reservoir dropped rapidly from 99% to 80%!
That was just in a few minutes!
The vines had already drained nearly 20% of the entire array's energy!
How the hell are they absorbing this much?!
"Quick! Notify the Demon Sovereigns!"
"The enemy has definitely deployed a world-class powerhouse!"
"A world-class powerhouse has entered the battlefield!"
Until now, the world-class powerhouses had been holding back, and the Demon Sovereigns hadn't taken the field.
Everyone had been testing the waters.
But this scale of assault—only a world-class fighter could pull this off!
Boom!!
While they were talking…
The flesh monsters outside the city suddenly charged the Heavenly Demon Capital.
Then one after another began to self-destruct, detonating in rapid succession and hammering the magic barrier—draining even more energy at a faster rate!
The Heavenly Demon Capital's magic barrier was thought to be impenetrable as long as its energy source held.
Of course…
The exception was if the energy consumption outpaced the energy refill rate.
And now…
The vines were sucking energy like mad from the barrier while the flesh monsters kept self-destructing on the ground.
Beneath the surface, something was still attacking the city's foundation!
"Energy! Hurry!"
"Refill the energy reserves!"
Another minute passed, and the energy percentage on the defense core's screen plunged from 80% to 40%!
"This is bad! My lord!"
"On the southern battlefield, Azure Dragon Meng Zhang is leading the allied legion in a direct attack!"
"They're also attacking our magic barrier!"
The demon soldier tasked with reporting intelligence shouted in panic.
"What?!"
The Demon Emperor was stunned.
And he realized…
This chaotic operation had to be the work of that non-specialist!
According to intelligence, the allied legions didn't have any top-tier plant-type classes.
And there was only one class known for using vines like this…
The Druid!
But no Druid in the allied legion could pull this off!
Of course…
The most telling sign was the black demonic flame on the vines!
That black flame clearly pointed to the non-specialist as the culprit!
"Damn it!"
"How can that non-specialist be so overpowered?!"
"Not only does he have endless tricks, but each one is stronger than the last!"
The Demon Emperor guarding the energy chamber cursed furiously.
How should one even describe this feeling…
It was like every random little skill he used could rival your ultimate move!
And worst of all, he had tons of these little skills!
"Report this situation to the ten Demon Sovereigns immediately!"
"Now! Right now!"
The Demon Emperor shouted grimly.
The demon soldiers scrambled toward the Ten Thousand Demons Towers.
However…
The disturbance was already so massive that the ten Demon Sovereigns flew out from their towers without needing to be informed.
