Apocalypse Gachapon

The skeleton carrying Lin Moyu picked up speed, leaving the Abyssal Demons in the dust. Slowed by the curse, the Demons struggled to keep up.

"He’s getting away! Chase after him!"

"We can’t let him escape after killing so many of our kind!"

"Lift the curse! We’re too slow to catch him!"

One of the Demons pulled out a pitch-black stone and activated it, and the stone exploded. Their speed increased, though the curse wasn’t fully lifted. The stone's effect only slightly negated Slow Curse, allowing them to match Lin Moyu’s pace.

Every Demon was poisoned, taking continuous damage equivalent to 4,000 strength points per second. While 4,000 points wasn't significant initially, the sustained damage would become unbearable over time.

"Is this guy even human? He’s using poison elemental skills too!"

“I’ve fought plenty of humans, but I’ve never seen one using both curses and poison elemental skills!”

“This guy’s more ruthless than we are!”

“I know, but we can’t catch up!”

One Demon, gritting his teeth, severed a finger, spraying black blood into the air. The blood flew back and splashed over the pursuing demons. A new curse spread among them, drastically reducing their defense.

“Bane, what are you doing?”

Abyssal Bane was a kind of Demon known for the mastery of curses.

The Bane gritted his teeth and said, “I replaced Lin Moyu’s curse with mine.”

Only one curse could exist at a time. The Bane used his curse to override Lin Moyu's Slow Curse. None of the other Demons blamed him; their speed increased, and they steadily closed the distance with Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu chuckled, casually pointing a finger as the red light of Slow Curse descended again. But this time, it had no effect. The Abyssal Bane’s curse was far more powerful, and Slow Curse couldn’t replace it.

"Lin Moyu, you can’t escape."

"You're dead."

"You've killed so many Abyssal Demons. The Abyss won't forgive you."

"Lord Demon King has decreed your death!"

The Abyssal Demons closed in, mistaking his retreat for fear. They were from the core area, all above level 60, making their pursuit of a level 35 human seem excessive.

Ahead, a mountain loomed with a cave at its base. Lin Moyu’s eyes lit up, and he dashed inside, vanishing from the Demons' sight in an instant.

Their Demons' attacks struck the mountain, dislodging rocks and making it tremble.

"After him!" The Demon exchanging glances and shouted. Without hesitation, they rushed into the dark, winding cave. But darkness was no obstacle for Demons, and they tracked Lin Moyu’s aura deeper and deeper, the cave gradually widening.

Suddenly, the cave opened into a vast cavern.

Lin Moyu stood at the far end, facing them. Behind him, a solid rock wall blocked any escape.

"Let’s see where you’ll run this time!" The demons sneered, their voices laced with malice.

The cavern was thick with murderous intent, but it wasn’t coming from the Demons—it was from Lin Moyu. As a one-star colonel, Lin Moyu had slain countless Demons and Dragonkind, his murderous intent far surpassing that of the high-level Demons before him.

"What's going on? Something feels off…"

"Yeah, his murderous intent is way too intense."

"Wait… we’ve been tricked! Look at his military badge!"

Their eyes locked onto the gleaming one-star colonel badge on Lin Moyu’s shoulder. Only seasoned characters, hardened by battle and the slaying of Demons and Dragonkind, could achieve such a military rank. These individuals were extremely formidable. Yet Lin Moyu was only level 35…

Realization hit them like ice water, sending chills down their spines. At that moment, footsteps echoed behind them, and a horde of Skeletal Warriors emerged from the cave, cutting off their retreat.

Earlier, Lin Moyu had covertly released two Lich Generals, who hid in the shadows. Now, the Lich Generals, with their undead legions, had sealed the Demons’ only route of escape.

"It wasn’t easy luring all of you in!" Lin Moyu said with a cold smile, summoning the remaining 13 undead legions. Thousands of skeletons flooded the cavern, encircling the Demons completely.

The Lich Generals cast status buffs, and blinding white light filled the cavern, making it as bright as daytime.

A demon gritted his teeth, "You think these pathetic level 35 skeletons can stop us?"

Lin Moyu quietly replied, "Thank you for delivering military merit to me. I'll gladly accept it."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Skeletal Warriors surged forward, and the Skeletal Mages unleashed a barrage of spells, filling the cavern with deafening explosions. Fire and lightning crackled through the air, and red flashes illuminated the battlefield.

Among the Demons, the strongest was a level 64 Demon wielding a spear. With each swing, he sent skeletons flying with thunderous crashes. His power was immense, and the damage he inflicted would have been devastating under normal circumstances. But this time, the skeletons sustained only minor injuries, as the damage was distributed among all the undead.

Moreover, the Lich Generals' Legion Heal had evolved. Instead of targeting a single legion, it now affected all legions simultaneously, as though every skeleton was receiving healing from all 15 Lich Generals at once.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, unless his skeletons faced a boss like the Archaic Luanniao, Archaic Earth Dragon, or a top-tier Demon above level 70, they were nearly impossible to kill.

The Demons, like cornered beasts, launched a frenzied assault on the skeletons, even attempting to fly up and break through the mountain. Yet, their efforts were in vain, as the skeletons blocked every move, leaving no openings. Encircling the Demons from all directions, including from above, the Skeletal Warriors hacked mercilessly as them while the Skeletal Mages unleashed a relentless assault, leaving no blind spots.

From the moment the Demons entered the cavern, their fate was sealed. Amidst the first agonizing scream, a deafening explosion rang out. A single Corpse Explosion obliterated 37 Demons, leaving only the level 64 Demon alive, though gravely injured.

Lin Moyu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected this Demon to have such high health, enough to survive the blast. Corpse Explosion had targeted a level 61 Abyssal Demon, dealing damage equivalent to 12 times the opponent’s health, yet this Demon had withstood it.

The mere 3-level difference resulted in such a vast gap in health? The Abyssal Demon holding a spear glared at Lin Moyu fiercely, his body enveloped in black light emanating from the weapon in his hand. Lin Moyu recognized the spear's immense power, having been struck by it before. Beyond its devastating attack strength, the spear also possessed formidable defensive abilities.

The Demon let out a cold, crazed laugh, "I didn’t expect you to be this strong. No wonder the Demon King wants you dead. In that case, let’s die together! Remember this: the one who claimed your life is the Darkfiend Prince."

As he spoke, the black light rapidly expanded, engulfing the entire cavern.

"Not good!" Lin Moyu’s heart tightened. He instantly recalled all his skeletons.

With a deafening boom, the Demon and his spear exploded.

The level 64 Abyssal Demon’s self-destruction, fueled by his entire health, combined with the spear's detonation, created a blast nearly as powerful as a Corpse Explosion.

The force shattered Lin Moyu’s Bone Armor, sending him crashing into the rock wall.

The cavern collapsed in the wake of the explosion, and the entire mountain came crumbling down.
