Chapter 526: Chapter 61 The Rise (3)

Hezrou attracted a lot of enemy fire.

Although their strength was only around 21, their Constitution could be close to 30, and they weighed more than 750 pounds. Although they couldn’t compare with those big demons, they were still very dangerous in a battle. The Hezrou demon that led Solon’s group was an advanced form. It had a large body size of more than 1200 pounds; like a small giant. But it was a pity that it looked very strange because it looked like a frog. Now it was like a roasted frog on the fire, and its disgusting skin was covered in char.

Hezrou was fighting a flaming demon; a rare kind of demon.

Under normal circumstances, a demon’s evolution was like this: Dretch, Abyssal Skulker, Quasits, Succubus, Vrock, Hezrou, Glabrezu, Nalfeshnee, Marilith, Balor.

That’s how humanoid demons evolved, but there were also more dangerous Bebilith and Retriever.

Balors were the most powerful demons but they were not Fire Balors. In the bottomless Abyss, fire demons were special because they had their own power source–the power of flame and destruction!

There were hundreds of Balors in the Abyss, but only one from these hundreds would become a Fire Balor!

If the Fire Balor Soran encountered were brought over here, it would be able to wipe out both armies easily! A Fire Balor was one of the very few existences that could challenge demon lords!

There were two methods to become a Fire Balor; to become a legendary Balor first then try to become a Fire Balor.

Or advance into the rare fire demon and swiftly go into the legendary realm.

Finally, the fire demon would integrate the power of Balor to become the legendary [Fire Balor]!

Solon was very clear about the power of the Fire Balor he encountered before. If it had not been sealed for a long time and had been seriously injured, Soran would not have any chance to win. Even if as a deity now, to deal with a Fire Balor that has complete power, Soran would have little chance of winning! A real Fire Balor would already have 25 Monster Level, and a Challenge Rating around 20. If the Fire Balor advances into some special class, the [Beheader] or [Executioner], it would have powers equivalent to the gods!

Solon had an urge. He wanted to try and kill this fire demon!

If he succeeded, he may be on the path to become a Fire Balor; this was surely much better than becoming a Succubus, Vrock, or Hezrou.

In this way, he would also avoid the path of becoming a [Slaughterer]!

Solon was afraid of the penalty of becoming a [Slaughterer].

The temperature around the area began to rise.

There were miserable wailing sounds as the Dretches near the fire demon were burned to death. As a low-level fire demon, the fire demon’s body was surrounded by a terrible flame, which could cause 5-10 points of fire damage to nearby enemies every second. With a Dretch’s poor Constitution and HP, standing around the fire demon for one or two seconds would kill it. The flames around the fire demon extended five meters around it, thus there was little chance for a low-level demon to kill it!

Solon could only last around 5 seconds around it.

So if he wanted to do it, he must kill it in one go. From the current situation, it was almost impossible for the Hezrou to defeat the fire demon. The difference between their injuries was different. The Hezrou was close to the state of serious injury, but the fire demon only had light injuries. As long as the Hezrou was around the fire demon. It would constantly suffer damage.

“If only I had Icingdeath!”

Solon felt that it was a wasted opportunity. If he had his legendary curved sword Icingdeath, he would not have to worry about the fire damage from the fire demon. The flame was its most dangerous weapon; any creature that was not immune to fire would be continuously burned. However, even with the Icingdeath, he may not survive the attacks of the fire demon in his current state.

There were a lot of burnt and black marks on the ground. A lot of Dretches had died to the fire demon. Solon had to keep his distance as he didn’t want to be burnt.

It seemed that some demons had noticed this!

If the Hezrou was killed, then the army would be easily wiped out; thus, with the command of the Glabrezu, a power demon came to help.

“Marilith! [Challenge Rating 12)”

The Marilith was also a special kind of Abyss demon. It belonged to a quite powerful advanced demon. Soran had spent a lot of time dealing with ordinary Marilith previously. The four-armed snake demon in front of him was obviously more powerful; it held four swords at the same time. Its natural arms allowed it to use four weapons at the same time. When fighting, it basically had no openings, thus it was hard for demons to beat it head on.

Snake type demons had incredible explosive power!

The four-armed snake demon swooped down and made a path of slaughter. In an instant, it came in front of the fire demon. Four Abyss long-swords swept in at the same time, closing almost every possible angle.

The snake demon was also a form Solon thought about evolving into!

The six-armed snake demon was a very powerful high-grade demon and the most terrifying war machine in the Abyss. In such a battle, the six-armed snake demon was invincible. A six-armed snake demon could even fight several demons of similar strength because its arms were so powerful!

These snake demons could even have 8 arms; these were legendary and terrifying demons that even demon lords were scared of.

To some extent, the eight-armed snake demon was the most powerful warrior in the Abyss! (Note: the number of equipment a six-armed snake demon could use is determined by the number of arms it had; weapons included (long sword), bracelets, wrist guards, rings, etc. Because they were born with more arms, the snake demon race could use this extra equipment easily and without any impact. A well-equipped and rich six-armed snake demon was a nightmare for many high-grade demons! Imagine how terrible it was to face a snake demon with a legendary ring and magic protectors on all six arms

“Tang, Tang, Tang!”

The snake demon was obviously poor because it only had four long swords and only two arms with extraordinary wrist guards. There were not many wizards in the Abyss; most of the demons only knew how to destroy.

The four-armed snake demon joined the battle.

Soon, the tide was turned; in the face of two enemies, the fire demon slowly became severely injured.

Solon moved along slowly, tightly gripping the extraordinary dagger waiting for an opportunity!
