Then, more guards joined the battle.
Without hesitation, they trampled over the lesser demons, each step filled with determination and rage.
After the third person stepped on it, the little imp's groans became so faint that they were almost inaudible.
The Flame Demon witnessed all of this, a cold glint flashing in its eyes.
Human resistance was expected, but in its eyes, it was merely a death throes.
Once these rebellious individuals are completely defeated, the will to resist in this refuge will dissipate.
The three brave shelter guards broke through the defenses set up by the lesser demons without hesitation.
At the same time, many civilians also joined the fight back.
They held aloft various farm tools such as pitchforks, sickles, and hoes, which were originally used for farming but had now become weapons in their hands.
The people roared and brandished their tools, charging headlong at the little demons.
The number of lesser demons is far less than that of humans.
This sudden counterattack caught them off guard, plunging them into chaos.
The towering shelter guard roared deafeningly, "Demon, die!"
He struggled to lift a heavy shield with both hands and charged headlong into the Flame Demon.
The shield appeared to be a piece of iron-clad door panel temporarily removed from a house; it was wide enough to almost completely cover the burly man's body.
The other two guards also acted quickly.
They flanked from both sides, equipped with sharp axes and tough leather armor, and moved with agility and speed, making them the elite of the elite in the shelter.
Faced with the swift attack of the three guards, the Flame Demon revealed a cruel smile.
It raised the fireball in its hand, preparing to hurl it at the tall guard holding the shield.
At that moment, a delightful image appeared in the Flame Demon's mind, which was filled with flames and magma.
The scorching flames will invade the tall guard's body, causing him to spew tongues of fire from his mouth and nose.
The burly man who charged like a bull fell to his knees on the ground, his body turning into a charred, indistinct mass of charred remains, his death extremely gruesome.
However, its fantasy did not become a reality.
At this critical moment, Ark led his army of skeletons out of the dense fog and jungle.
Once within casting range, Fangzhou decisively raised the undead orb in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, an indestructible bone shield appeared in front of the tall guard, steadily blocking the flame that was about to devour everything.
A deafening roar.
The fireball struck the guard's shield, which shattered instantly like paper. However, the inner skeletal shield remained standing. Flames rolled and hissed across the shield's surface, but could not penetrate this protective layer.
The Flame Demon's prized fireball spell was completely ineffective against the Ark's bone shield, which had been enhanced to its limit.
The fireball left only a brief trace of darkness on the shield's surface; a few faint sparks flickered in the darkness before vanishing without a trace.
This scene was undoubtedly an unprecedented sense of defeat for the Flame Demon.
Its bloodthirsty, maniacal laughter abruptly ceased at that moment.
In that instant of stillness, the loyal lesser demons beside the Flame Demon were also caught in the aftershocks of the sudden fireball explosion.
They were forced to stop, creating a valuable opportunity for the Ark to counterattack.
A sharp, whistling sound suddenly rang out; it was the whistling sound of the bone spear piercing through the air.
With its keen senses, the Flame Demon instantly sensed the approaching danger.
A flicker of alertness flashed in its blood-red eyes, and its head turned rapidly backward, trying to catch a glimpse of the approaching shadow.
But everything happened too fast; even the Flame Demon didn't have time to react effectively.
"A human mage? How is this possible?"
Its heart was filled with disbelief.
Although it tried to block the fatal blow with its hands, its magic power had not fully recovered after casting the fireball spell, and it was unable to gather enough power to protect itself.
The bone spear moved with incredible speed, like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the night sky with a fierce momentum, flying straight toward the Flame Demon.
In the firelight, the outline of the bone spear appeared exceptionally clear.
Its sharp tip drew a crescent-shaped trajectory in the air, breathtakingly beautiful yet brimming with murderous intent.
The moment Bone Yu brushed past the Flame Demon, a muffled "plop" sound rang out, followed by a splatter of blood.
The sharp edge of the bone spear sliced open the Flame Demon's neck, nearly severing it, and black blood gushed out, accompanied by a strong smell of sulfur.
A small column of blood formed.
Such an injury would be fatal to any creature, even the most powerful beings in the abyss.
The Flame Demon's body began to tremble violently, and its skin, covered with red and black demonic patterns, began to emit specks of red light, as if it were making a final struggle.
A sharp pain shot through the wound, causing the Flame Demon's body to stiffen for a moment before exploding into a rain of blood in mid-air.
The black blood mixed with hellfire fell to the ground, making a crackling sound, demonstrating its strong corrosiveness, even surpassing the strongest acid.
High above the refuge, the punitive knight Li Guang cleverly used the shadows to conceal his figure.
The sudden turn of events shocked him.
He quickly turned his gaze towards the direction from which Gu Yufei had come.
Outside the shelter, in the dense fog and jungle, a massive army of skeletons was pouring out in droves, seemingly out of nowhere.
At the heart of the skeleton army, a young mage, clad in magnificent robes and holding a crystal ball shimmering with a mysterious light, methodically cast spells against the demonic warbands besieging the sanctuary.
Li Guang couldn't estimate how many skeletons were outside. He only felt that what he saw was a sea of skeletons, densely packed, covering the mountains and fields, almost every inch of land.
Shocked by this sudden sight, Li Guang gripped his longbow tightly and shouted, "The Flame Demon is dead! Reinforcements have arrived!"
Counterattack! Counterattack!
His voice echoed throughout the shelter, inspiring every human trapped there.
However, the vicious demonic warbands reacted even faster than the refugees.
A group of lesser demons discovered the ark. They screamed, raised their tridents, and fiercely surrounded it.
Facing this group of abyssal creatures with crimson skin and eyes burning with evil flames, Ark did not back down at all, but calmly observed everything.
The little demons swarmed forward, then let out terrified cries.
Beside the ark, a dozen gleaming skeletal spears quickly formed a small defensive array, like an impregnable fortress.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten fully armed spear-wielding skeletons rushed out of the thick fog, forming an unbreakable spear formation that crushed the lesser demons.
Each shot carried a chilling aura, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound.
Having lost their leader, the Flame Demon, the lesser demons' fighting spirit has plummeted to rock bottom.
Faced with such a powerful new opponent, the few lesser demons at the front let out strange squawks and scattered in all directions.
At that moment, the entire battlefield situation reversed.
The humans and skeletons, who were initially at a disadvantage, began to gain the upper hand, while the demon chapters found themselves in an unprecedented predicament.
The five- or six-meter-high wall stands tall under the night sky, an almost insurmountable barrier for any ordinary human being.
However, for those lesser demons from the abyss, this was merely a minor obstacle.
These ugly little creatures have a pair of short, fleshy wings on their backs. Although they cannot soar through the sky like real birds, these wings give them extraordinary jumping abilities.
With just a kick and the help of their fleshy wings, the little lesser demons can easily leap onto the wall and look down at the human shelter below.
Just as the lesser demons were preparing to cross the wall and enter the shelter, a violent explosion shattered the tranquility of the night.
Amidst billowing smoke, three enormous demons appeared before the crowd.
Two horned demons struggling fiercely and a dog demon spewing foul stench.
Their eyes gleamed menacingly in the darkness.
Clearly, the explosion and thick smoke did not disorient them; instead, they fueled their even greater fury.
Soon, they discovered the warband leader lying on the ground.
The Flame Demon's corpse lay silently in a pool of blood.
Anger and the desire for revenge drive these three demons.
They roared deafeningly, abandoning their original target of attacking the refugees in the shelter, and instead charged at the Ark, the necromancer who dared to challenge them.
For ordinary apprentices like Lu Renjia and Lu Yiyi, whose combat strength is average, facing the siege of three powerful demons and dozens of lesser demons and demon children would be tantamount to suicide.
Even the most experienced apprentice-level professionals would find it difficult to escape unscathed in such a situation, and might even be completely overwhelmed by the demonic tide.
However, the Ark was not among them.
Although he was alone, he had no such concerns whatsoever.
Because he was surrounded by fifty skeleton warriors, these loyal undead servants were his strongest shield and sword.
In order to end this battle quickly and improve the completion rating, Ark decided to no longer hold back its strength.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then the Berserker Earth Spirit Mark in his mind began to emit a dazzling light.
With a flash of light, Olaf, a berserker spirit over two meters tall with bones covered in lice, appeared on the battlefield.
Olaf's strength has also reached the level of an apprentice alongside Ark.
Immediately afterwards, Fangzhou raised the crystal ball high in his hand and began to chant incantations.
The energy contained within the crystal ball gradually condensed as he chanted his incantation, eventually transforming into beams of light that shone upon the fifty skeleton warriors.
The spell "Death's Crown" concentrates the power of all the skeleton warriors into Olaf, instantly boosting his combat power to a new level.
Then, Ark unleashed three more aura skills.
The brutal aura made the skeleton warriors even more ferocious, and every swing of their swords seemed to carry the aura of death;
The Iron Wall Aura further enhances their defenses, making their bones virtually indestructible.
The aura of terror plunged all living things in the vicinity into fear, including the demons who were preparing to attack.
With the blessing of the three major halos, Olaf's army of skeletons reached its peak combat power.
They were like an unstoppable torrent, launching a fierce counterattack against the demons.
Before the Demon Chapter could react, Ark quickly tilted his head back and gulped down a bottle of precious mental energy recovery potion.
As the medicine flowed down my throat, a cool sensation instantly spread throughout my body.
He immediately activated the "Calm and Composed" skill, and his mental energy quickly returned to full.
The Ark began unleashing a barrage of spells.
In his spellcasting sequence, only one skill was used repeatedly, and that was "Death Ripple".
This skill can unleash waves of destructive power, dealing massive damage to enemies within its range.
As Fang Zhou chanted the incantation, his hands quickly formed complex hand seals, and an invisible force seemed to gather in the air.
As the incantation was completed, the space in front of the Ark seemed to distort slightly, and then a deep purple energy wave rapidly spread out from beneath his feet.
These deep purple energy ripples spread like waves, and wherever they passed, the lesser demons fell down, howling in pain.
These fluctuations not only penetrated the demons' armor, but also gradually drained their life force, eventually turning them into dust.
It's not that the Ark can't summon more skeletons, but rather that the fifty fully armed skeletons led by Olaf are enough to deal with the demoralized demon chapter on the current battlefield.
As for the two horned demons and the dog demon, they stood out conspicuously on the battlefield.
However, they did not play a significant role in this battle.
As the Ark's strength increased, Olaf's strength also increased significantly.
Led by Olaf, a dozen melee-armed skeletons quickly surrounded the three elite demons, engulfing them in a massive army.
Before Ark could even use the "Bone Spear" skill to finish off the three elite demons, they had already vanished without a trace under the siege of the skeleton army.
In less than ten minutes, the demonic warband that had been aggressively surrounding the shelter was wiped out by the combined forces of Ark and his army of skeletons.
Some lesser demons tried to escape the battlefield, but Ark believed that the life of every demon was related to his combat evaluation, and he would never let any demon escape.
So he unleashed several more rounds of "death ripples," completely annihilating the remaining demons.
Then, the scene before them froze.
The system notification for the simulated battlefield sounded again.
"Mission completed, time taken: 18 minutes and 30 seconds, completion rating: [Perfect], reward: 4.5 contribution points."
"First-time completion of the [Shelter Defense] Easy difficulty will earn you 6 contribution points as a first-clear reward."
