Might of the Demon

"Now that the level 1 magical beasts had all vanished, they had obviously been almost completely killed off. The rest had probably fled as well. The level 4 magical beasts seemed rather lacking in fighting spirit, but these birds in the air were desperately diving at us."

Huang Long watched the scenes unfolding before him, calmly analyzing the battle while his mind kept turning.

"Looks like these three level 7 magical beasts weren't exactly on the same page either!"

Archer Captain Ina darted back and forth through the grass. Having reached level 6, she might not have been a match for level 7 magical beasts, but dealing with level 6 beasts was easy enough.

The enemy had killed many Night Elf faction members. They were all her sisters. Though they had not interacted much, they lived alongside one another day and night.

"Bastards! Die!" The longbow in Archer Captain Ina's hand shone with a dazzling light and radiated scorching heat.

Congratulations, Host. Your Archer Captain gained insight during battle and learned the skill—Searing Arrow.

Searing Arrow: Infused an archer's attacks with fire damage. Each attack consumed a small amount of mana.

"What was that?" Huang Long asked in surprise. Could even those who were not genuine heroes use hero skills?

But this is good news. If all the archers can use Searing Arrow, that would be terrifying beyond imagination! Huang Long thought. At the same time, he set a goal for himself: make the archers train as much as possible. Perhaps he could uncover a whole group of soldiers with hero skills.

"Kill!" Demon Hunter Yudian roared again. The Demon Fire around his body surged once more, faintly showing signs of soaring into the sky.

The Orgrimmar Banner was truly powerful. It could turn damage dealt by enemies into replenished stamina and healing for injuries. Stamina had little effect on the archer puppets, but it was immensely useful for Demon Hunter Yudian and Archer Captain Ina. The wounds of the previously injured Yudian and Ina quickly improved, while their dwindling stamina rapidly recovered.

Demon Hunter Yudian, who had initially intended to hold back somewhat, no longer had any reservations as he rampaged through every enemy before him.

Before Demon Hunter Yudian were two level 6 magical beasts: a Flower-plumed Condor and a Golden-backed Eagle. Both were relatively powerful among beasts of their level. Even with Yudian's temperament, he regarded them seriously as opponents and did not underestimate them.

Eerie green Demon Fire filled the air around Demon Hunter Yudian. The two level 6 magical beasts did not dare attack recklessly and could only circle overhead. Their boss had merely ordered them to hold back this man who controlled strange flames. Yet, by instinct, they sensed a trace of danger from this peculiar humanoid creature and did not dare approach too closely. Ambushing him when the opportunity arose could still keep him occupied, so why not?

As if he had seen through the thoughts of the two level 6 magical beasts, a mocking curve appeared at the corner of Demon Hunter Yudian's lips. With a slight sweep of the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hands, the intense Demon Fire scorched the air until it crackled and popped.

Suddenly, Demon Hunter Yudian's body jolted, and he shot into the air at incredible speed. Demon Fire erupted beneath his feet, riding the airflow as it thrust into the clouds with lightning speed.

What an opportunity! The same thought flashed through both level 6 magical beasts' minds. Everyone knew that aside from birds, which could move freely through the air, other creatures faced varying restrictions. Though those restrictions gradually lessened as one grew stronger, they could never be as free as birds.

Yet Demon Hunter Yudian had risked rushing directly into the sky. To the two birds, this was undoubtedly exposing a tremendous opening.

"Screech!" The Flower-plumed Condor and Golden-backed Eagle had fought countless battles and naturally would not let such a fine opportunity slip away. They immediately spread their wings.

"Whoosh!" Blades of wind, wrapped in rushing currents, flew toward Demon Hunter Yudian.

Once magical beasts reached level 6, they could comprehend their innate elements and cast certain spells.

With nowhere to evade, Demon Hunter Yudian was not the least bit anxious. Not a trace of panic could be seen in his eyes.

"What a pack of mindless beasts. Did you really think my Demon Fire was nothing but a tool to frighten people?!" A mocking smile flashed across Demon Hunter Yudian's face.

"Roar!" Demon Hunter Yudian roared again. The Demon Fire covering his body turned into a streak of light, simply and directly evading the wind blades. Then, with another turn, the Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hands spun in a dazzling arc, and the Flower-plumed Condor's head was severed.

The level 6 magical beast, the Flower-plumed Condor, fell...

"Only you remain." Demon Hunter Yudian gave the remaining level 6 Golden-backed Eagle a cold glance, the killing intent in his eyes utterly undisguised.

"Screech!" Seeing Demon Hunter Yudian kill its companion so cleanly—and that companion had been nearly equal to it in strength—the Golden-backed Eagle no longer dared face him head-on. It turned and fled at once.

"Trying to leave? You dared kill my people, and you think you can leave whenever you want? Too late. Die!" Demon Hunter Yudian's naked lust for slaughter instantly enveloped the Golden-backed Eagle. He gripped the Warglaives of Azzinoth once more as the Demon Fire beneath his feet expanded, leaving behind an afterimage as he charged straight at it.

"Screech!"

The Golden-backed Eagle no longer dared fight Demon Hunter Yudian head-on. It could only frantically dodge his repeated attacks, too afraid to counterattack as it desperately tried to escape.

"You feathered beast! You! Must! Die!" Demon Hunter Yudian bellowed. He swung the Warglaives of Azzinoth with all his strength, and the eerie green flames formed a massive flaming blade three meters long, cleaving straight through the Golden-backed Eagle's body and splitting it into two.

The Golden-backed Eagle's corpse fell to the ground, but the fierce Demon Fire continued to burn.

Legend had it that creatures slain by Demon Fire would have their souls haunted by demons and be reduced to ashes.

Demon Hunter Yudian stood suspended in midair, looking down over the entire battlefield like a demonic war god from ancient times.
