Chapter 831 - 703: Reinforcements

With a crisp sound, the ice cracked open, and Bachin broke through the ice. With only his eyeballs filled with lingering fear, he glanced at his injuries and gratefully nodded at the suddenly appearing elderly Mongolian.

The Black Trojan Horse and Hassan were gone, while the number of Demon Gods opposite had not decreased but increased, worsening the situation to its extreme.

Maxwell injected a vial of Healing Magic Potion into his vein. In his mind, it was as if there were two tiny figures in the shapes of angels and demons, arguing whether or not to use the player panel’s exit function to leave this place.

The angel figure shouted, "You can’t leave! Leaving now means betraying your teammates!"

The demon figure shook his ears, "Why not leave? Su Jie is a medical Ability User of the Special Affairs Bureau, bearing heavy responsibilities,

Merlin won’t leave because he himself is a high-ranking member of the Bell Tower Guild, contemplating ascending to the Upper Realm to assist Chairman Hornheim.

Claudia won’t leave... Damn, she’s already gone!"

No one was to the left; Claudia, who had been there earlier, was nowhere to be found.

Alright, that’s reasonable. The Special Affairs Bureau originated from the security department, with a tightly organized structure. The Bell Tower combines the characteristics of academia and secret societies, valuing the master-apprentice relationship, with strong cohesion.

The Witch Alliance was established at the advent of the killing field, when players generally had weak strength and were often hunted down by gangs, consortiums, and violent organizations for their qualifications,

The initial Chairman Dir founded the guild to protect the vulnerable groups, such as women, children, the elderly, and the disabled, to share intelligence and resources, and Extraordinary Power.

However, as it developed, the Witch Alliance continuously merged and absorbed other guilds, leading to increasingly complex member compositions and a gradual decline in cohesion.

Claudia was not at the vice-chairman level and had no personal friendship with the current Chairman Jia Li, so it’s normal for her to flee.

"It seems,"

Above Hell Fortress, Spenerak gazed at Merlin and said in a deep voice, "Your ’companions’ have abandoned you."

"She just went to get reinforcements."

Merlin internally vented loudly but kept a blank expression on his face and calmly stated, "Soon there will be a luxurious coalition descending here with the Evil Science Alliance, Prometheus, Special Affairs Bureau, Witch Alliance, Earth Defense Army, Three Body Organization, Fantasy Land, FFF Group, Home Hiding Association, etc."

The heavy armor paused motionlessly, and a few seconds later, Spenerak’s rumbling voice sounded, "The Special Affairs Bureau and the Evil Science Alliance are fine... but those behind are made-up words from you."

"I am an Arcane Master, is there any need to deceive you?"

Merlin kept his lips firm while his brain ran wildly; these Demon Gods were not the Bosses sitting blankly in the Demon King Hall of the Script World, awaiting the Hero’s challenge,

On the contrary, they were able to steadily gather intelligence from Earth.

Moreover... Merlin’s gaze swept over the decrepit Mongolian elder with a sorrowful expression, who didn’t match King Solomon’s 72 Pillar Demon Gods list,

under the scan of Reconnaissance Skill, displayed as... Kish Kysh?!

Memory suddenly awakened, Merlin used Sound Transmission Technique to shout in the minds of Su Jie and Maxwell, "That Mongolian elder is the Cold God from Tuva-Mongolian Shaman Culture!

Tengri Eternal Sky blew air to form clouds, split into four by the peak of Khayalar Mountain, transforming into four dragons, the eldest Kysh is entirely silver-white, radiating cold air, after dormant is wrapped in rocks and wood to become Tuva’s Taika Mountains.

One of Kysh’s incarnations is the weary, sorrowful elder Sook-Irey who visits the herdsmen’s tents during winter!"

Merlin’s head was filled with countless volumes of mysticism books, relying on names and images to lock in the Cold God from Tuva-Mongolian Shaman Culture.

Almost at the same moment, the Cold God Kysh moved.

He appeared out of nowhere at the bottom of the pit, grasping Demon God Bachin with his left hand (using the latter’s teleportation ability to achieve instant teleportation) and his right hand opened, releasing Extreme Cold Frozen Air towards Su Jie and Maxwell.

Maxwell’s Electric Current Barrier could block Sword and Saber but could not stop the pervasive cold air.

Fortunately, with Merlin’s reminder, he opened the Backpack at the last moment, grabbed a Perfect Quality [Warm Heart Electric Heating Blanket], shook it open, and placed it in front of himself and Su Jie.

"No trading, no killing."

"My son loves eating this the most."

"Spitting randomly might hit daddy possibly."

Accompanied by the tender music of public service announcements, the orange electric heating blanket expanded in the wind, like a city wall, stubbornly resisting the Extreme Cold Frozen Air.

Step!

Maxwell grabbed Su Jie by the collar, dragging him swiftly backward, with the electric heating blanket in his hand suddenly rising, perfectly blocking the chilling air that followed the flashing pursuit of the Cold God.

Then came the third, and fourth interception.

Maxwell did not possess the ability of Prophecy; the reason for successful intercept was that he activated the ability named [Gale Thunder],

Using himself as the center, creating a weak electric current network with a diameter of twenty meters.

Once detecting foreign objects invading the vicinity, the body bypasses brain thinking, directly stimulating muscles with electric currents, executing pre-set actions.

Dramatically speeding up reaction times, infinitely approaching the level of Close Combat Professionals.

In the next instant, the combination of Cold God and Bachin extended the distance to fifty meters, raining down waterfall-like cold air.

Maxwell’s action of raising the electric heating blanket was a moment slower; although the blanket continued emitting heat, blocking the cold stream,

The kinetic energy accompanying the cold storm still pressed him and Su Jie firmly to the ground, with the surrounding land blanketed by frost and snow, and over one meter tall ice crystals grew.

The body’s rapid loss of heat blurred consciousness, lingering on the player panel, unable to focus on the exit button.

Is this the end...?

Buzz!

Two beams of light traversed the ice fields, striking heavily on the Cold God’s tattered cloak, sending him flying.

The beam originated from the Sun-absorbing Chicken, which, under Su Jie’s previous remote healing, regained some ability to move, wobblingly relying on a tree to stand up. Its eyes were burning with immense hatred toward the Demon God.

Unfortunately, the beam only caused the Cold God’s tattered cloak to emit scorched smoke — the thousand-year-old Demon Beast was already at the end of its strength, merely standing there with its legs continuously trembling.

The Cold God brushed away the scorched ash from the cloak, ignored the Sun-absorbing Chicken, and chose to flicker with Bachin again, launching bursts of cold air towards Maxwell and Su Jie.

Buzz!

Another beam came assaulting, disrupting the Cold God’s movements.

"..."

Anger flashed in the Cold God’s eyes; upon his next flicker, he appeared behind the Sun-absorbing Chicken, gathering boundless ice crystals in his palm and launching a strike.

The Sun-absorbing Chicken rolled to the side to dodge the ice crystals, clawed at the tree trunk, flicked its head back, shot beams from its eyes, and pecked heavily at the Demon God.

This strike was both rapid and fierce; the Sun-absorbing Chicken, relying on combat instincts, caught Bachin’s flaw — his Teleportation Ability requires knowing the coordinates beforehand and must "see" the next teleportation position.

The beam was blindingly brilliant, and without Bachin’s Teleportation Ability, the Cold God had nowhere to retreat.

Spurt!

The sharp beak pierced through the Cold God’s palm and drove into his shoulder with unstoppable momentum.

The Cold God’s expression remained sorrowful, as if indifferent to his injuries; swiftly, his right hand turned into ice, freezing the beak so it couldn’t withdraw.

Coldness spread, frost creeping along the beak towards the chicken’s head.

"Кечиремен..."

The Cold God whispered, speaking in Tuvan, saying "Forgive me," as he slowly froze the last remnants of the Snake-man civilization.

Drip.

Raindrops fell, freezing into hail before touching the ground by the Cold God’s surrounding chill, smashing onto the ground, splashing blood-red icy debris.

Red rain?

The Cold God instinctively raised his head, seeing a blood-colored rain cloud appeared in the sky at some unknown time,

and Claudia, in a loli form, floated high in the air, with a fierce expression, single-handedly supporting the rain cloud.

Uh... Claudia indeed didn’t stay for the guild’s interests,

the Witch Alliance now not only includes the narrow sense of Magic Girl (human girls aged 7-18 who use magic, can transform, and hold magic wand) but also Magic Girl in the broad sense,

such as seventy or eighty-year-old rosacea-nosed old hags — considered lolis among elves and other long-lived races;

Battle Nun — lifelong unmarried, the baton in her hand can release electric shocks like a magic wand;

beer-bellied office workers with a Mediterranean hairstyle — let’s just say, after transformation, they become beautiful girls.

The complex composition of personnel and increasing factions make the Witch Alliance more like a multinational company now, with internal factions all over the place,

even university girls’ dormitories have four people with eight chat groups, and each player in the Witch Alliance has their own small clique, naturally not expecting ordinary members to have strong guild-wide recognition and sacrificial spirit.

Claudia stayed without fleeing all because... of money.

"Make me lose money, all go to hell!"

Her eyes were bloodshot, fully driving the Blood Magic Array, from the blood cloud hung numerous blood-drinking Seven Gills Eels, each one with a ten-meter diameter, resembling giant pillars connecting heaven and earth.

Blood Mage was not a very easy profession to earn money; its only expertise in plastic surgery was severely squeezed by the beauty salons scattered throughout the slum,

causing Claudia, despite being a Level 30 expert, to live a tight life, spending lots of money purchasing magic materials and setting up her own Mage Tower.

She didn’t skimp on loans for this Song of Kings event.

If she died on Four Realms Mountain, guild compensation is given.

If not, many expensive single-use items and consumables would be wasted, and returning embarrassed to the killing field would be tragic, being chased by unscrupulous banks.

Therefore, a forced exit isn’t an option. Even if she must force a retreat, she has to scrape some wealth off these Demon Gods!

"Blood Magic: Seven Kills Seven Slaughter Seven Gills Eel!"

The giant pillars descended, some shaking their bodies, collapsing the Hell Fortress’ anti-air towers, some targeting the Cold God, forcing him to flicker and escape.

’Blood Magic at Ancestor Level...’

Spenerak saw it clearly, Claudia’s Bloodline strength was around Earl, Duke Level, yet not reached Blood Prince, forcibly releasing Ancestor-level Blood Magic, won’t last long.

Just need to drag for a few minutes, and the other side will collapse without a fight... huh?

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Pull my devil trigger!"

A passionate musical sound emerged from the depths of the blood cloud, an old propeller plane broke through the clouds, with Don Juan standing atop the plane with an electric guitar in hand, singing the rock song named ’Devil Trigger’.

The passionate music reverberated through the heavens and earth, reducing human players’ fatigue instantly, even the sulfuric smell in the air lightened a bit,

while those Horror Maggot Beasts had a layer of debuff applied, their actions visibly slowed down.

"Don Juan! Mei Wenyi!"

Maxwell’s heart seemed to skip a beat, almost brought to tears by the emotion, Claudia didn’t betray the teammates, she truly went to call for help!
