The fat black demon was able to easily rescue Ebenezer from a fate of certain death. He was able to handle the most powerful attacks unleashed by two 7th-tier beings with ease, thereby clearly indicating that he was more powerful than anyone else present on the scene. Thus, all of the spectating customers were becoming a little nervous.
Joshua's tragic death had left the adorable little elf girl with no relatives left in this world. Thus, everyone naturally sided with Blour and the others. However, in the face of such a powerful enemy, their chances of victory had diminished significantly.
An 8th-tier being? I didn't think this hunting party would have such a powerful leader. Mag was also rather surprised as he looked at the abyss demon.
It was the first time that he had heard about hunting parties capturing elves. This presented a reminder to him that he had to make sure to escort Amy to and from school every day. Even though Amy was only a half-elf, there was no telling what these demented bastards were capable of. As such, it was imperative that he addressed potential underlying threats.
Furthermore, the enemies were clearly extremely powerful. Most of them consisted of 5th-tier or 6th-tier demons and orcs, with a couple of 7th-tier demons and even an 8th-tier leader.
Grave expressions appeared on the faces of Blour and the others. They could determine from that attack that this demon was at least an 8th-tier being. An 8th-tier abyss demon with a 7th-tier porcupine battle boar and a six-armed snake demon presented a very threatening lineup, even though they had four 7th-tier beings on their side.
However, Blour and Sally showed no intention of backing down. There were so many of their brethren still being held captive by this demon, and countless more had most likely died by his hands. Those crimes were unforgivable.
They had to bring him down at all costs, even if it meant giving up their lives.
"Did you say the same thing when you were ganging up on and capturing our brethren?" Blour retorted coldly. His hands were clenched tightly, and there was an extremely frosty look on his handsome face.
The arrow nocked on the bow in Sally's hand was also pointing directly at Olef, but she didn't launch an attack rashly. The fact that Olef was able to catch her arrow with his bare hand clearly indicated that her arrows were ineffective against him. Besides, he also had that massive shield, which possessed even more superior defensive properties.
Lulu's injuries were quickly recovering from Xixi's treatment. Following the revival of the World Tree, Xixi's healing abilities had clearly become more powerful. Furthermore, their healing abilities were further amplified when used on each other, so his injuries were not a cause for concern.
However, Lulu's expression was very serious and grave as he looked at the massive boar before him. In open terrain, boars posed even more of a threat than tigers. The enormous force they were capable of generating while charging meant that even a graze could result in severe injuries.
The porcupine battle boars were magic steeds that the abyss demons specialized in breeding. They were extremely wild and violent, and could unleash even more terrifying power in their berserk state than what they were otherwise capable of. Even though a 7th-tier porcupine battle boar like this one wasn't very intelligent, it was still an exceedingly difficult opponent to handle.
"What a huge pig! Father, can we have roast pork this time as well?" Amy's eyes were alight with elation and anticipation as she looked at the porcupine battle boar.
"That... might be a little difficult." Mag looked at the boar with an awkward expression. The beast was over two meters tall and over five meters in length. It looked like a heavy tank, and it was really difficult to imagine how he would be able to roast a boar of this size.
"Alright, then. This pig is the same as that Uncle Hedgehog's pig, right? I feel like this pig isn't as big as Uncle Hedgehog's, though." Amy was a little disappointed, but her curiosity soon got the better of her again.
"You're right." Mag nodded in response. During the recently concluded conference between the dragons and the demons, there was an abyss demon among the demon representatives. His steed had also been a porcupine battle boar.
"But this pig and that man who looks like a pig appear to be baddies... If Big Sister Aisha and Big Sister Xixi can't beat them, then I'll have to step up..." Amy murmured to herself as she clenched her wand tightly in her hand.
"I've heard the very same words from many other elves, so I tried it for myself today, but it doesn't seem to work very well. It's a pity that none of them had the power to resist. All of them either bowed down to me or were killed. I'm not the same, though; all of you want to kill me, but which one of you is capable of bringing me down?" Olef chortled as he looked at Blour. All of a sudden, his smile faded, and he stepped forward with a cold expression as he said, "The two of you have heard things that you shouldn't have listened to. Hence, you have two options now: surrender or die."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing that. After witnessing Olef's immense power, no one dared to step up to try and protect Blour and the others. At the same time, people began looking around, searching for traces of personnel from the Gray Temple. At times like this, only the Gray Temple could take care of the situation.
However, their search proved to be a fruitless one, and everyone wondered if the law enforcers of the Gray Temple would arrive in time.
"Surrender? I, Blour, don't intend to surrender to anyone, much less a demon." Blour chuckled coldly. He raised his hands high above his head, and chanted, "Wood elves of this world, heed my call. Rise up, wood monsters!"
The trees in the Aden Square instantly began to rustle as flashes of green light emerged before converging together. Slowly, one green giant after another took shape, and all were over four meters tall. There were about a dozen of them in total, and all of them were holding green staves as they surrounded Olef and his subordinates.
"High-level water forbidden spell, extreme freeze." Sally had put away her bow, and was brandishing her wand instead. She pointed the wand toward Olef and the others, and a bone-chilling wind swept through the air. The ground upon which Olef and Ebenezer stood was instantly covered by a layer of white frost. The frost then began to creep up their legs as if it were trying to freeze them solid.
Lulu's chest injury had also almost fully recovered, and he threw himself at the porcupine battle boar, displaying speed and agility that belied his massive frame.
"If you won't surrender, then you can go die." Olef raised one hand, and blades around half a meter in length immediately appeared around the edge of his shield. He hurled the shield toward the tree monsters, and it flew forth like a massive lethal frisbee, slicing through the necks of the tree monsters. The huge tree monsters were instantly reduced to a vast array of specks of green light, while the shield continued on toward Blour.
Olef then stomped a foot into the ground, creating violent tremors. The frost on the ground was shattered as a result, and the frosty aura also dissipated.
