Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 554 Terrifying Bull Horns (Part 1)



Just when Karina thought she could relax, she suddenly furrowed her brows.

For as she moved her gaze to check on Rocky, she unexpectedly discovered several gigantic figures between the Guard Corps and Rocky!

Since Rocky was at the very front of the defense line, he was at least a couple of hundred meters away from the Guard Corps, holding back and reducing the sheer number of demons. But at this moment, Karina noticed not only a large number of Black-eyed Demons breaking through Rocky's line and wildly rushing towards the Guard Corps, but also Bull-horned Demons joining in!

This is bad!

Seeing the Bull-horned Demons also start to breach Rocky's line, she immediately cursed under her breath and then quickly issued an order, commanding the fleet to intensify their bombardment.

As the City Lord and also an exceptional Void Magic Warrior, Karina was well aware of the terror of Bull-horned Demons. She had clashed with them more than once during demon hunts over the past two months and knew just how formidable these demons were. Hence, allowing these demons to get close to the Guard Corps was unthinkable.

Unfortunately, the only thing Karina could do now was to order the fleet to hasten their bombs. As the fleet commander, she couldn't charge to the front lines like Rocky, as there were too many things that needed her attention, like overseeing the evacuation of the people. So all Karina could do after spotting the Bull-horned Demons was to fret.

But perhaps someone would ask, weren't Rocky and Robin's Void Magic Squad always blocking the Bull-horned Demons? How could the demons still break through their defenses and get close to the Guard Corps?

Indeed, Rocky and Robin's Void Magic Squad had been consistently slaying Bull-horned Demons, but when are demons ever completely exterminated?

As time went on, especially as the fleet continued to bomb the ground mercilessly, the number of demons flooding towards the research institute didn't decrease; it actually increased. At first, Bull-horned Demons just popped up among the Black-eyed Demons here and there, in small numbers. But as time dragged on, clusters of Bull-horned Demons appeared.

Under such circumstances, although Rocky was still wreaking havoc and had easily slain over a hundred demons, over half of them being Bull-horned Demons, Robin and the others were also fighting as hard as they could and killed a substantial number of demons. Yet, they still couldn't stop the demons' advance.

In fact, when Bull-horned Demons started appearing in groups, even they themselves fell into a crisis!

Facing groups of Bull-horned Demons, Rocky was still unconcerned. In front of the powerful White Demon Armor and Magic Fang Scythe, the quantity was meaningless. However, Robin and his team clearly couldn't handle it.

When facing a single Bull-horned Demon, every member of Robin's Squad was more than capable in battle. Although the killing speed was slower, everyone was essentially pressing and fighting the Bull-horned Demons. But when the number of Bull-horned Demons increased to two or even three, they were no longer at ease, and when the number of Bull-horned Demons around them exceeded four or five, the squad members simply couldn't continue to fight on the ground. They had to fly into the air and use long-range weapons to attack, or else a single charge from the Bull-horned Demons could knock them down, and they would be trampled to death by these massive creatures despite wearing Void Magic Armor!

Thus, Bull-horned Demons gradually broke through Rocky and others' first line of defense and, along with dozens or hundreds of Black-eyed Demons, charged toward the Guard Corps.

"It's the Bull-horned Demons! Caryus! Bull-horned Demons!"

On the battlefield, naturally, Caryus and Raphael were the first to notice the impending crisis. Raphael, who was operating the Tank Armor and strafing, immediately spotted the charging Bull-horned Demons and started shouting over the communicator.

"I see them! Block them quickly!"

Without needing a reminder from Raphael, Caryus had already noticed the massive figure of the Bull-horned Demon, so he immediately turned the Tank Armor, aiming the cannon at the Bull-horned Demon.

As members of the Guard Corps, Caryus and Raphael understood better than anyone how terrifying the Bull-horned Demons were. Therefore, upon noticing the approach of the Bull-horned Demon, they immediately opened fire, instantly unleashing countless Magic Energy Bullets.

However, faced with their barrage, the charging Bull-horned Demon did not stop its advance at all, not even slowing down, allowing the Magic Energy Bullets to hit it squarely.

And the Magic Energy Bullets, which would normally tear apart a Black-eyed Demon in an instant, had their power greatly diminished when they struck the scale armor of the Bull-horned Demon; thus, even though Caryus began firing from a distance of fifty or sixty meters away, it wasn't until the Bull-horned Demon was only two or three meters from his Tank Armor that he finally managed to shoot it down.

Seeing the Bull-horned Demon fall in front of the Armor, Caryus finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at that moment, before he could fully catch his breath, there was a loud clang, and the Tank Armor violently shook.

In the midst of the violent shaking, Caryus immediately looked outside, and then he saw the face of a bull up close!

It turned out that after he had barely managed to shoot down one Bull-horned Demon, another had stepped on the corpse and rushed up to his Tank Armor, then rammed its head against the Armor!

It should be noted that the Tank Armor stood three meters high, certainly one of the largest types of Armor, but this did not intimidate the Bull-horned Demon at all. What's more outrageous was that after colliding with the Tank Armor, the Bull-horned Demon grabbed its base with both hands and, while roaring, actually tried to overturn the Tank Armor!

Seeing this, Caryus inside the cockpit didn't even have time to be astonished and immediately operated the Armor, attempting to knock the Bull-horned Demon away.

But the next moment brought a sight that left onlookers agape: when Caryus put all his strength into moving the Tank Armor to knock away the Bull-horned Demon, he found that although the tracks were spinning rapidly, the Armor didn't budge an inch!

The Bull-horned Demon was actually wrestling with the Tank Armor!

And it wasn't losing the struggle!

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Bull-horned Demon exhibiting such immense strength, Caryus hurriedly started shooting, with Magic Energy Bullets firing immediately from the Armor's hands, and the Magic Energy Beam from its waist beginning to launch.

And in this situation, it wasn't until four or five Magic Energy Beams passed through the Bull-horned Demon's chest that the demon—who dared to wrestle with the Tank Armor without falling short—finally fell to the ground...

Similarly, it wasn't until this demon lay down that Caryus inside the cockpit could finally take a breath, only to discover that he was soaked through with sweat from head to toe.

Caryus could hardly imagine that driving the Tank Armor, he would still have to expend so much effort just to kill two Bull-horned Demons, and having killed only two, the outcome was truly unimaginable.

What was even more terrifying was that as Caryus had barely managed to kill two Bull-horned Demons, many more had already rushed past him at breakneck speed, charging towards the Guard Corps!
