My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 378 - 379: Battle Begins!
The demon army advanced like a black tide over the scorched land.
The roars of low-tier demons mixed with the heavy footsteps, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression.
However, as they progressed, some of the more perceptive demons began to notice a strange aura ahead.
A half-step totem-level demon scout, looking tense, wove through the dense ranks and knelt respectfully on one knee before a figure radiating terrifying demon might.
"Report to the Chief! Unknown energy fluctuations detected ahead, possibly an enemy interception!"
The demon revered as the leader slowly turned his head.
His form was bulky, with a pair of curved red horns on his head that gleamed with a metallic luster.
Behind him was a pair of tattered black wings, incomplete yet adding to his ferocity and murderous aura.
He was the supreme commander of the demon army, the strongest among the five totem-tier three giants—
Red-Horned Demon Venerable!
His power had reached the peak of totem tier three, just one step away from the legendary tier four.
"Enemy?"
The corner of the Red-Horned Demon Venerable’s mouth curled into an expression of extreme disdain, his voice carrying an icy intention to kill:
"In the face of our mighty power, what kind of existence qualifies as an ’enemy’?"
He had absolute confidence.
Throughout the entire alternate space, totem tier one powerhouses were few and far between.
Totem tier two was even rarer, and as for tier three, besides Dragon Island and a few fierce beasts, there was no one else.
The forces gathered under him now were sufficient to flatten any force besides Dragon Island.
His crimson gaze pierced through the demonic Qi, looking into the distance toward the front of the army.
In his perception, there were only a few auras there, the strongest being no more than totem tier one, with even a weak Monarch-level energy response.
"Ha, ridiculous."
The Red-Horned Demon Venerable waved dismissively, as if shooing away flies.
"Send a few totem tier two commanders with some totem tier one warriors to clean them up."
"Make it quick, don’t delay the army’s advance."
In his view, dealing with such small fry didn’t require his tier three Demon Generals to make a move, it seemed a bit of an overkill.
Little did he know, this arrangement, which he considered insignificant, fit precisely into Gu Xing’s plan.
The order was quickly carried out.
Soon, four fierce totem tier two demon commanders, leading nine totem tier one elites, detached from the main army.
They rushed toward the small hill where Gu Xing and his group were located, surrounding them in an instant.
Surprisingly, despite being heavily surrounded, Gu Xing and his people remained standing still, making no move to break out or defend, as if they were too scared to move.
A totem tier two demon with bone wings let out a piercing laugh:
"What? Did seeing us noble demon warriors scare you so much that you don’t even have the courage to run? Pitiful ants!"
"For them to gather these few totem levels, they must have already exerted the power of their entire race, right? Such is the sorrow of weak races."
The demon powerhouses bantered, completely treating Gu Xing and his team as lambs awaiting slaughter.
However, at this moment, Gu Xing’s gaze fell on these demons.
Originally, he thought that this group could draw in all the totem-level demons to surround them.
If so, as long as they could hold out for a moment, Vera would be able to massacre the Monarch-level and half-step totem-level among the demon ranks.
Though the energy was far lesser compared to totem level.
But...
With large numbers, it would certainly push his level to a higher extent.
Unexpectedly, the demons were so careless, only sending a few tier two demons to lead the team.
Since that’s the case, he’d have to change his plan.
Killing one totem-level demon could grant energy equivalent to hundreds of Monarch-level beings.
And here...
totem tier ones, and 4 totem tier twos.
As long as they were slain, his level could surely break through to Monarch tier five.
And once his level increased, Vera and Liu Li’s abilities could surely reach totem tier three.
However, this came with a prerequisite.
He must eliminate this group of totem-level demons in an extremely short time.
Otherwise...
Once those tier three totems reacted and intervened in the battle.
His plan would be foiled.
So, in slaying this group of totem-level demons....
It had to be fast!
Fast enough that the tier three totems wouldn’t have a chance to react!
To achieve that, he had to give it his all.
Gu Xing’s eyes grew serious.
Yet, his gaze still revealed a burning battle intent.
As long as he could win this battle.
Then...
His level would see a tremendous rise.
Subsequently, he issued a command slowly.
"Lilith, I’ll support you with all my might, your task is to use the Blood Domain to trap these demons."
After Lilith slays demons, he couldn’t gain energy.
Thus, he merely planned for Lilith to trap these demons.
While the ones to actually strike...
Had to be Liu Li and Vera!
To instantly slay these demons at the first opportunity...
Gu Xing’s eyes suddenly flashed silver, and blood-red spiritual power also surged outward.
Meanwhile, golden divine patterns shot from his forehead, hovering in the sky.
From the moment he struck, Gu Xing was at full strength.
"Sovereign—Awaken! Guardian! Slaughter!"
"Soul-devouring—Awaken!"
"Divine Pattern—Awaken!"
Three types of empowerment, fully unleashed!
Vast spiritual power and immense energy turned into three beams of varying hues, precisely enveloping Liu Li, Vera, and Lilith!
"Boom—!"
Receiving Gu Xing’s full empowerment, the aura of the three guardian beasts surged as if riding rockets.
Instantly breaking through previous limits, reaching a level that made the surrounding demons tremble!
"Destruction Angel Form—activate!"
Liu Li shouted, radiant golden light erupted, intertwining sanctity and destruction.
The massive angel illusion at her back materialized, with a giant sword of black flames forming in hand.
"Life Spirit Angel Form—activate!"
Vera soared surrounded by emerald light, the breath of life fused with a touch of the Insect Emperor’s devouring law, transforming into an awe-inspiring elf illusion.
"Immortal Blood Body—condense!"
Lilith’s hair danced, the ancestral power of the Blood Race fully unleashed, ancient blood-red runes encircled her, deepening her aura.
"Lilith, now!"
Gu Xing’s roar rang out, almost in sync.
Lilith formed seals with her hands, crimson blood light spread from her center like a breached flood!
A massive, rune-flashing blood-red barrier abruptly formed, enveloping the thirteen totem-level demons along with Gu Xing and his companions!
With Gu Xing’s enhancement, Lilith’s power now firmly stood at the threshold of totem tier three, trapping these tier two and tier one demons momentarily was no difficult task!
