Unbeknownst to them, the Erwin family was preparing a magic that the heroes had never seen before.
……
Rox kept her [Magic Eye] activated, observing the flow of magic.
Even while being carried at high speed by the highly agile warrior, her gaze never left the center of the battlefield.
Yes, she didn't look at the black ball in the sky.
There's no point in looking there.
Most importantly, the magic at the center of the battlefield has been subtly changing since just now.
She could see the magic accumulating on the ground, and the concentration of the magic was getting higher and higher.
The scattered magical fluctuations that were originally present during the heroes' offensive have transformed into another form as the concentration of magical energy has increased.
If Rox were to describe it, it would be—
swirl.
An extremely large vortex of magical energy was swirling in the center of the battlefield, nourishing every [Lu Bai Demon] who was fighting as it rotated.
What we can see right now is that the [White Demons]' magic consumption is decreasing significantly, while they are replenishing it at an extremely fast rate.
only……
Their health points are also rapidly depleting.
It's like sacrificing health points to speed up mana regeneration.
It's understandable that the other side made this decision, since the heroes are getting stronger and stronger, and the White Demons are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up.
However, the increasingly intense magic made Rox very uncomfortable.
[Hero of the Demon: The opponent may be preparing a spell that requires a large amount of magic power.]
She didn't know the details, she just had a feeling about it.
Not much left!
The number of enemies is no longer sufficient, and the once massive defensive perimeter now appears to be at its limit.
Even with the invisible vortex frantically replenishing the magic power of the White Demons, it was still difficult to withstand the heroes' offensive.
Until... their health points are about to run out!
"Bang!!"
Suddenly, the White Demons, who had been defending the outside, exploded, their health points reduced to zero.
The defenses have been completely breached!
Only one White Demon, a White Demon with a white crown floating on its head and wearing a white robe, was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the defensive line.
The heroes were unharmed and, without a moment's hesitation, charged straight at their opponent!
Volume 3: Chapter 629, page 115: It should be 0 [Count Nightmare] (4k) Five ￠∧liu《￠∥
[Hero of the Demons: Don't go over there!]
The instant all the White Demons vanished, leaving only Count Erwin, all the heroes charged at them, and at the same time, Rox's message was sent out!
She saw the enormous vortex of magic shrink completely in that instant, converging onto Count Erwin.
The magic in the ground beneath their feet had been completely drained.
The enemy has prepared a terrifying trap that the heroes cannot even imagine, just waiting for them to rush in!
Why didn't she think of that at first?
The answer is also very simple.
The other party is itself engaging in actions that are intended to mislead the enemy.
That magic vortex that replenishes the magic power of all the White Demons—not only would Rox be confused by it, but any demon capable of sensing magic power would only think that the vortex was used to replenish magic power.
Before this, Count Erwin had not absorbed all of this magic into himself; he had only been gathering it.
Whether it's Rox or the other demons, there must be signs before someone absorbs magic power.
He must at least have the act of absorbing magic into his body; in Rox's eyes, it would be the blue magic flowing into the other person's body.
however--
He almost skipped the process of "flow".
It's like a rubber band being held by both hands, which contracts the moment you let go.
It is true that there is a contraction process, but it is almost impossible for the human eye to perceive it.
At this very moment, Count Erwin, who had gathered all his magic power within himself, was in the same boat.
The vortexes that were originally meant to restore the magic power of the other [White Demons] were all channeled into Count Erwin, and the price for doing so was—
His body would be unable to withstand the massive concentration of magic.
Finally, he exploded and died!
Count Erwin's health points were instantly depleted!
"Bam—!!"
His body shattered in an instant, but what followed was a blue-black, high-speed spinning vortex!
A vortex formed by magic!
In that instant, the brave warriors who rushed forward felt an extremely powerful suction force coming from the vortex.
Several nearby warriors with strong willpower were directly swept into the vortex, their bodies being disintegrated by the vortex at a visible speed, and their health points dropping at an extremely rapid rate.
They barely felt any pain before being completely swept into the vortex. Everything happened so fast that the heroes didn't even have time to save anyone before all they saw was the cold notice to leave the team.
When Rox sent the message in the chat group just now, many heroes almost immediately stopped in their tracks and wanted to run back.
However, before they could get far, the powerful suction force from the vortex made it impossible for them to escape even a single step, no matter how hard they tried!
In just a few seconds, more than ten brave warriors who came close by were killed!
They are all warriors of great strength and resilience!
With their physical strength at level seven, they couldn't even withstand the vortex for a second?!
The immense suction force affected almost all the surrounding heroes, and at least a hundred heroes within this area were unable to escape!
However, just as all the heroes were desperately trying to escape the vortex, a figure used the vortex's suction to quickly weave through the crowd, almost reaching the edge of the vortex—
That's the Shield Hero!
"Everyone, get behind me!!"
Reveal yourself, my now distant ideal city!
Layton leaped high into the air, raised his shield, and slammed it down hard at a point very close to the vortex!
"Om-!"
A sudden burst of silver light rose up, forming a vertical pillar of light that shot straight into the sky. The pillar of light spread outwards to both sides, revealing the phantom of a pure white giant city. The towering city walls expanded outwards from the shield as the center, instantly isolating the vortex outside the city walls!
Layton's special abilities take many forms.
First, it is an absolute single-target defense, capable of completely negating one instance of damage without any cost; it is a special ability that only requires shouting out the corresponding line.
Absolute Defense
Then there's the special ability to counter 100% of enemy attacks, but the activation condition is that you need to shout out a line and face the enemy's attack head-on.
【Full Counterattack】
Next is the group defense, which also has extremely strong defensive capabilities and is a special ability to deal with large-area attacks;
[The already distant ideal city]
This group defense isn't without its costs; the first thing you do is shout it out, and for every second you hold out, you have to use 1% of your health.
However, this defense was not an "absolute defense."
Under the onslaught of accumulated magical power, the massive silver city wall was rapidly collapsing! 9
Judging by appearances, it can only last for about ten seconds!
The warriors behind the city wall immediately felt the suction disappear and desperately retreated.
But on the other side of the city walls, countless heroes were still unable to escape the whirlpool!
Layton did his best, but he could only block one side of the vortex; he had no way to deal with the other side!
However—5
He wasn't the only one running in the opposite direction of the vortex, just like Layton.
A colossal dragon, its body covered in blood-red armor, descended from the sky, pouncing directly towards the vortex before Layton!
On the dragon's back was a blood-soaked, white-haired, red-eyed heroine, her blood flowing continuously onto the dragon's body.
The enormous dragon embraced the entire vortex, and the blood-red armor was collapsing and repairing itself at an extremely rapid pace!
"Oh!"
The hero, who was about to be sucked into the vortex, crashed into the dragon. At the same time, crimson tentacles shot out from the dragon's blood armor, throwing the hero behind the silver city wall!
One after another, the brave warriors crashed into the dragon, only to be thrown behind Layton and rescued.
However, the health of the [Dragon Warrior] and [Blood Warrior] who cooperated to accomplish all of this was also decreasing at an extremely rapid rate.
Although the Blood Armor was protecting Lana, its repair speed was far slower than the speed at which it was being destroyed.
Ultimately, it was Lana who suffered direct damage from the vortex.
If she hadn't reached the level cap for defeating level 20 demons, which boosted her attributes, combined with the increased resilience from her equipment and the magic resistance inherent in her dragon scales, she probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few seconds in this vortex.
but……
Ten seconds!
Ten seconds is enough!
As the crimson tentacles continued to throw the heroes who were unable to escape, both near and far, onto the illusory city walls, the highly agile heroes quickly took action to rescue all the heroes who managed to escape to a safe area.
