Chapter 2005: 0439 ‘Extreme Dao Strategy’, 27 Witch Marks! (Large chapter asking for monthly tickets and subscriptions)_5

It wielded the flaming whip, lashing toward Gandalf in the sky.

“Radiant King World Suppressing Fist!”

Gandalf unleashed a punch, and the thousand hands behind him formed a wall of fist winds!

Crack.

The wall shattered.

The Demon Suppressing Ming King and Gandalf both recoiled violently.

Just one exchange, and the Radiant King Wizard Form visibly faded.

The power of a Level 7 being, truly terrifying!

At the same time.

The Holy Infant’s ultimate move was already upon them.

Seven Ice Phoenixes and nine Red Flame Fire Dragons roared out, surging forward like an unstoppable army!

A purple sun rose over the battlefield, enveloping Rogner.

“Victor, strike now!”

The Holy Infant thought to himself.

In the distance.

Across the wilderness.

Demons roared as they charged toward Victor from all sides.

His expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly:

“Gold Star Taibai!”

BOOM!

A platinum-white star, a thousand meters in diameter, burst across the sky!

The low-level demons were instantly shredded by Sword Qi within it, vanishing without a trace.

“Go!”

The Star Sword emerged from the Gold Star Taibai, carrying the power of the metal elements from a twenty-mile radius. A billion streams of Elemental Sword Energy shot forth instantly!

One by one, the phantom shadows of distant sword sages followed, heading out to battle!

On the battlefield.

Rogner was now besieged by both the Demon Suppressing Ming King and the Purple Extreme Holy Dragon.

Ice flames ravaged his body, rendering him stiff. Even the Flame Demon Fire could no longer flow properly.

His furious roars echoed across the battlefield, spreading for hundreds of miles around, where no one dared to approach.

Nerod watched the battlefield.

“Can they really hunt a Level 7 demon? Even if Rogner is outmatched, surely he can escape?”

As expected.

Rogner, sensing he was no match for the combined might of the Holy Infant and Gandalf, thought of retreating.

Those two were simply monstrous.

His pride, the Level 7 Flame Demon Fire, couldn’t even penetrate their layered armor.

These are supposedly Sixth-Circle Wizards? The depth of the Wizard World is unfathomable.

Magma spewed violently from within Rogner, and fiery storms billowed forth, blasting apart the Purple Extreme Holy Dragon and the Demon Suppressing Ming King!

“I will still…”

Before he could finish.

A streak of starlight flashed, and Rogner’s rigid, magma-encrusted head was abruptly pierced through!

Sword Qi rampaged, slicing in interwoven arcs. The headless Flame Demon’s body was hurled backward by sheer force!

Immediately afterward, phantom sword sages entered his corpse, and cracks spread across the surface of his body.

Buzz!

Thousands of streams of Sword Qi burst outward, shattering Rogner’s body in a colossal explosion.

A Level 7 Demon Soul emerged, trembling as it looked around in terror.

“Another one! What kind of power is this?”

Seeing this, the Holy Infant quickly threw out the Purple Holy Crucible and the Bag of Gluttony.

A powerful suction ensued as the Demon Soul was drawn into the Purple Holy Crucible.

Jealous Poison Water filled the crucible, dragging the Demon Soul into a nightmare.

Enveloped in confusion, the soul was tossed into the Bag of Gluttony, where endless flames mingled with the sound of exploding fat, consuming it completely.

Before long, the Demon Soul evaporated, its dazed remnants heading toward the Underworld.

A crystal core emitting scorching heat floated in the air.

Amidst the scattered chunks of flesh and shattered remains, a faintly trembling heart of magma could be seen.

The Holy Infant collected both.

“It’s done. Let’s clean up the battlefield, and earn some extra war merit while we’re at it.”

Nerod’s heart quivered in awe.

“The Dawn Divine Sword was here as well… With the Gondor Three Heroes united, what is there to fear from a Level 7 demon?!”

“The upcoming Seventh-Level Demon Slaying List will truly be a contest of titans.”

With the death of the Level 7 Demon Lord, the aftermath was a one-sided slaughter.

Ordinary Level 6 demons were no match for the Holy Infant and his allies.

As for the low-level demons, a single primordial soul spell could obliterate hordes of them.

In the end, the demon army scattered in panic, utterly crushed.

They didn’t pursue the fleeing remnants. For safety’s sake, the Holy Infant and his team stopped in time.

Nerod and the warband wizards narrowly escaped with their lives.

“Thank you, all three of you. I will report the details of this battle to the congress; there should be additional war merit rewards.”

Gandalf replied:

“Slaying demons is the duty of all. No need to be so formal. We must head to other battlefields to provide support. You should also retreat and regroup with the main forces.”

Elsewhere.

Soraya prepared herself, looking toward the distant battlefield, refraining from dwelling on Gandalf’s situation.

[It’s a success. Thank you–Gandalf.]

Before departing, her communication device transmitted Gandalf’s message.

Her anxious heart finally calmed.

“What was I even worrying about? That old fellow, how could he possibly be in trouble? I’d better focus on dealing with the enemy in front of me.”

…

Before long.

The names of three individuals suddenly appeared within the top 100 of the Seventh-Level Demon Slaying List.

[Fire Dragon Master Ais: Rank 91, 1.01 million points]

[Demon Suppressing Ming King Gandalf: Rank 93, 940,000 points]

[Dawn Divine Sword Victor: Rank 97, 900,000 points]

The competition within the Seventh-Level Demon Slaying List was second only to the Sixth-Level.

To make it into the top 100 was a mark of the greatest talents among primordial soul wizards.

For years, the Gondor City Three Heroes had been relatively unknown.

But after their joint takedown of the Level 7 Flame Demon, they skyrocketed to prominence.

They divided the credit for the Flame Demon’s death, along with the kills of other demons, plus the extra war merit granted by the congress.

They immediately surpassed even those still in seclusion.

A projection of the Flame Demon hunt caused a significant stir in the Wizard World.

Gandalf’s mighty palm, Victor’s unparalleled sword, and Ais’s purple sun.

These left a profound impression on countless witnesses.

After this battle, the rankings for the Holy Infant’s and Gandalf’s Wizard Forms and Soul Artifacts advanced considerably, nearing the top 500.

Demon Suppressing Ming King at 530th, Purple Extreme Holy Dragon at 535th.

Above them, the rankings mostly belonged to the Wizard Forms of Seven-Circle Wizards.
