Lord of the Sky City

Clearly, the number of demons on land had increased due to the disturbances, as evidenced at Backhill Village; over a year ago when Rocky defended here, a few dozen demons were considered a lot, and even at the very end, there were only about a hundred demons.

But now, the number of demons here had markedly risen, and scenes with dozens of demons appearing at once had become the norm, with hundreds showing up at the same time no longer a rare occurrence.

Nevertheless, as the numbers of demons increased, so too did Rocky’s strength, ensuring that even against a larger number of demons, the safety of Backhill Village remained secure.

However, just as Rocky breathed a sigh of relief, his brow furrowed again, because right after the warship completed its bombardment, allowing only a sparse dozen to charge towards the Guard Corps, the third wave of demons had arrived!

So fast…!

So many…!

Upon spotting this third wave of demons appearing so swiftly, Rocky couldn’t help but frown, for the demons had come too quickly, wave after wave, without giving them a moment to catch their breath.

At the same time, the number of demons was too great; the first wave had only about twenty demons, the second had reached hundreds, and upon seeing the third wave, even Rocky had to take a sharp breath—there were actually two to three hundred demons!

One must understand that because demons by nature are so formidable, even a slight increase in number can lead to a qualitative change; two demons are definitely several times more dangerous than one, dozens of demons are exponentially more perilous than a few, and two to three hundred demons, compared to a little over a hundred, represent a risk that could only be described as earth-shattering.

So, realizing there were so many in the third wave, Rocky glanced at Liliya and then the two, already donned in Void Magic Armor, leaped down from the city wall together and flew above the Guard Corps.

“Sandro, Dusa, Liliya, follow me and we’ll break the demons’ formation,” Rocky called out. “Monte, Lin Feng, you two take command of the Guard Corps!”

Owing to the overwhelming number of demons, Rocky had to take over command of the battle himself, issuing a string of orders right away.

It was just as he finished giving these orders that the remnants of the second wave of demons, having survived the fleet’s bombardment, charged towards them.

“Charge with me!”

Although only around twenty or thirty of the second wave demons were left, Rocky didn’t relax his vigilance and immediately led Liliya, Sandro, and Dusa into the fray.

From past experience defending Backhill Village, once demons began to surge in waves like now, the warship’s bombardment from the skies wouldn’t prevent the numbers from piling up—because even the most powerful bombardment can’t kill all the demons, there will always be some that slip through. And, as the number of demons seemed virtually endless, even a small number surviving each bombardment would accumulate to an unbearable level.

This situation had to be avoided at all costs!

“Die!”

With a sweeping strike, the razor-sharp Mana Sword sliced across a Black-eyed Demon’s neck, cleanly severing its head from its body, and without waiting for the demon to hit the ground, Rocky sped towards another, plunging his Mana Sword into it before leaping back into the air.

But just as he was beginning to fly upward, a demon suddenly pounced from the side. With its formidable physique, the demon leaped over three meters high and reached out its claws towards Rocky’s ankle.

Unfortunately for the demon, just as it was about to grasp Rocky, whoosh, Dusa, who had been waiting in mid-air, shot an arrow straight into its head, and with a bang, the demon’s head burst open.

With its head blown off, the headless corpse immediately fell and, by sheer coincidence, landed on another demon, heavily pinning it to the ground. Before the pinned demon could get up, it was pierced through by Liliya with her sword, killing it outright.

After dispatching the demon at her feet, Liliya immediately raised her arm and fired a series of Magic Energy Bullets, blasting a demon’s chest into a mass of flesh and blood. Yet, demonstrating their incredible vitality, the demon didn’t die despite its chest being nearly blown open, and instead turned to charge at Liliya.

However, the demon hadn’t taken two steps before Sandro, gliding along the ground, flew past it. Using his momentum, Sandro cleaved the demon in two with his sword, then immediately accelerated, slamming his shield hard into another demon.

Empowered by the Void Magic Armor, and moving at high speed, Sandro sent the large demon flying, and it crashed to the ground after traveling more than ten meters, conveniently landing at Rocky’s feet. Rocky lifted his foot and crushed its head underfoot.

Faced with twenty or thirty demons, Rocky and the others went on a killing spree. Bolstered by the Void Magic Armor, they slaughtered most of them in a blink of an eye. However, even so, the number of demons didn’t seem to decrease, because as they were fiercely battling, the third wave of demons had already charged through the warship’s bombardment range!

The third wave consisted of several hundred demons; despite the mid-air warships unleashing their full firepower and killing the majority, forty or fifty demons still survived the barrage and rapidly charged towards the Guard Corps.

This was why Rocky and his team, despite cutting down demons as if they were chopping vegetables, saw no reduction in their numbers: as soon as they finished off the first wave, the next was already upon them, with many demons having already broken through their lines and started to fight with the Guard Corps!

But that wasn’t the worst part—the worst was yet another wave of demons had appeared!

In such a situation, Rocky had no choice but to fly higher and then urgently contact Felly, who was stationed in the city.

“Felly! Send out the War Steed and the Hunter!”

Facing wave after wave of ever-increasing demons, Rocky had to call in more warships, thereby extending the range and intensity of the bombardment in an effort to reduce the number of demons as much as possible.

But just as he had given the orders and rejoined the battle, suddenly, without any warning, a destroyer that had been bombarding from a distance fell from the sky!

With a thunderous boom, the hundred-meter-long destroyer crashed from the sky to the land, followed by a massive explosion, creating a huge ball of firelight!

“What, what happened…!”

The sudden explosion stunned everyone on the spot. Rocky and all others couldn’t believe what they were seeing and had no idea what had happened.

“There’s something! Something is coming!”

Just then, Dusa, who was hovering in mid-air, suddenly shouted. She saw a dark figure rushing out from the firelight of the explosion!
