Great Demon King

GDK 654: Two Demonic Formations

Han Shuo did not expect Donna to be so courageous to deliver such a command the instant that the mystical demons left. But after a short moment of thinking, Han Shuo discovered that this was indeed a great opportunity.

This, however, would only be the case with the prerequisite that Donna could hold back both Eriksson and Kaiser alone. If just one of them could get their hands free, those on Donna’s team could possibly be destroyed.

Both sides were made up of forces of similar strengths. Except for the three midgods, the rest were all of lowgod strength. As those on Donna’s side had only been harassed by the mystical demons for a much shorter period of time, they had exhausted less divine energy than the opposing side and therefore held an obvious advantage against their opponent. Donna’s decision of launching a strike at this moment could not have been wiser!

As soon as she finished her words, she took the lead and charged ahead like the manifestation of darkness. Kaiser and Eriksson exchanged a glance. Although they appeared somewhat unwilling, they forged ahead without hesitation.

With Eriksson following a few steps behind, Kaiser charged ahead to meet Donna’s attack. His body began to rupture with radiance from a violently strong element of light.

“Let’s go!” Bolten shouted in a deep voice. A war hammer glistening with dark radiance appeared in his hand. It wasn’t clear what material was used in smelting the weapon that made it appear extremely heavy.

Meanwhile, an exquisite bow appeared in Li Wei’s hand. The habitually silent Bowen did not use any weapon but had put on a piece of armor on his body. Meanwhile, Colbert wielded an eerie white bone spear in his right hand. It had strange symbols etched on every surface.

The Brook brothers, Li Wei, and Colbert all charged ahead. They appeared very much excited and seemed to be accustomed to this kind of situation.

With Donna handling both Eriksson and Kaiser, there would be four enemy lowgods left to deal with. Over on Donna’s side, excluding Han Shuo, there were Bolten, Bowen, Li Wei, and Colbert – exactly four lowgods. Their number precisely matched the enemies’.

Donna had trust in Han Shuo’s words and immediately ceased her attacks and retreated. She did not forget to instruct her teammates to fall back.

The two groups of people who suddenly got into conflict came to a truce just as sudden. Perhaps the battle was too brief, there weren’t any casualties on either side. Only Bolten and an enemy sustained minor injuries.

Bolten appeared angry, even ravenous, after he was injured. After returning to Han Shuo along with Donna, he repressed the anger in his heart and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“There are more people coming our way!” Han Shuo replied in a deep voice after shooting a cold glance at him.

“I couldn’t sense anything! What is going on?!” Bolten glared at Han Shuo and furiously said, “I’m injured and that right there was my critical moment to make a counterattack. Now I’m injured for nothing because of your nonsense!”

“Bolten, shut up!” Donna chided Bolten in a gravely before softly muttering to herself with her brows creased as though trying to tap into the condition in the distance. Suddenly, Donna’s eyes glistened with amazement and she said, “He’s right. There are more people headed this way!”

Donna calmed down her team members and gazed at the path behind her in silence.

Those on Kaiser and Eriksson’s side also sensed an anomaly at this point. They all looked in that direction with caution on their faces. They began to grow jittery.

That interplanar transportation matrix possessed by the Primordius Dragon had been destroyed by Han Shuo. Therefore, there shouldn’t have been any additional people from their side who could come over. They reasoned that the comer was likely a reinforcement from Donna’s gang as the interplanar transportation matrix possessed by Han Shuo was still in one piece.

Donna was feeling just as nervous. By then, neither party was stronger than the other, although Donna did have a slight upper hand. However, if the comer was an enemy, this equilibrium would most likely be broken and her team would be put at a disadvantage. As the leader, Donna knew that those on her side wouldn’t have delivered additional forces before she made such a request. She was therefore shocked and even started to question the validity of Han Shuo’s claim that he had destroyed the opponent’s interplanar transportation matrix.

“Didn’t you say that you’d destroyed their interplanar transportation matrix? You didn’t lie, did you?” unlike Donna, Bolten didn’t hold a favorable impression towards Han Shuo and immediately voiced out his doubts.

Han Shuo, wearing a gloomy face, shot a glare at Bolten with his cold eyes and did not reply.

“Hmph, if it’s your lying that cost us this battle, you will be finished!” Bolten huffed when he saw Han Shuo scowl at him.

Donna did not say a word. She gathered her attention in observing the newcomers approaching. Two silhouettes gradually grew from vague to clear. One of them was an old man Han Shuo was familiar with. He was demigod Kelly from the Druidic Order who had once fought alongside Han Shuo back at Kasi Empire.

Beside Kelly was a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament and an approachable smile. That middle-aged man appeared relaxed and was smiling while mumbling something to Kelly. Kelly, who looked old enough to be that middle-aged man’s father, behaved extremely respectfully towards that man.

The ever-calm Donna’s eyes suddenly widened. She stared at that middle-aged man as though facing a great enemy.

Kaiser and Eriksson had strange and complicated expressions on their faces when the man appeared. The duo exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.

“Hey! Kaiser, Eriksson! Something tells me you didn’t want me here. Going so far so as to destroy the interplanar transportation matrix! Do you know how much hardship I went through, how many material planes I had to detour? I even had no choice but to conduct a stressful interplanar voyage just to get here!” exclaimed that middle-aged man as he looked at Kaiser and Eriksson with a half smile.

Kaiser and Eriksson made their salutations from a distance and gave him an awkward smile.
