The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 271 Danger 2

Just as everyone was still basking in the joy of their hard-won victory, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently without warning! This sudden turn of events threw everyone into panic, and they all stopped cheering and celebrating. Their eyes widened, their faces filled with terror as they stared at the spot where the demon had fallen. There, a gigantic vortex, tens of meters in diameter, had appeared! The vortex, like a colossal beast with its jaws wide open, was greedily devouring everything around it.

At the same time, an aura, even more intense and malevolent than that emanating from the previous demon, slowly emanated from the bottomless vortex. This aura seemed to carry a powerful pressure, making it difficult for everyone present to breathe, and a chill involuntarily rose in their hearts.

Even the usually composed archmage frowned, his expression grave as he said, "The situation is dire. It seems this demon is merely a vanguard; the true source of evil is about to reveal itself." Hearing this, the group, initially exhausted from continuous battles, immediately perked up. Despite being nearing their physical limits, they knew they could not afford to back down now.

Yingyue gripped her sword tightly, her eyes unwavering, revealing a resolute determination to die for her cause. "No matter what terrifying enemies we face next, since we were able to defeat this demon before us, we certainly have the ability to defeat all the opponents that follow!" As soon as she finished speaking, the young man beside her stepped forward without hesitation, nodding vigorously in agreement. "That's right! Let us join hands once again and face this life-or-death battle together!" His firm and powerful voice echoed in the air, seemingly infusing everyone with boundless courage and strength.

Just then, the once calm vortex suddenly began to churn violently, and a chilling shadow gradually emerged. Accompanied by a low roar, an enormous claw suddenly shot out from the vortex. This claw was tens of meters long, its sharp nails gleaming with a cold light, like a blade capable of tearing through anything.

Then, a demon even larger than the one seen before slowly crawled out of the vortex. Its entire body was engulfed in eerie, purplish-black flames, the raging inferno flickering and emitting a nauseating stench. The demon's eyes, like two blood-red lanterns, revealed boundless ferocity and greed.

However, faced with such a terrifying enemy, none of those present showed any sign of backing down. The sprites quickly gathered their magic again, and multicolored light shimmered in their hands; the great mage took a deep breath, chanted incantations, and began preparing a powerful spell once more; Shadowmoon and the brave boy also fearlessly assumed fighting stances, gripping their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with determination.

They knew a new and fierce battle was about to begin. Although the demon before them appeared exceptionally powerful and terrifying, their previous victories had given them ample experience and confidence. No matter the difficulties and obstacles they faced, they were determined to resolutely protect this beautiful land beneath their feet and not allow the evil forces to spread unchecked. After the demon fully emerged from the vortex, it roared to the sky, the sound waves causing a painful jolt to everyone's ears. But they quickly adjusted their stance; the battle was imminent. The sprites launched the first attack, countless colorful rays shooting towards the demon, only to be easily blocked by the flames surrounding it. The great mage waved his hands, and a thick bolt of lightning struck the demon directly, which the demon dispersed with a swing of its giant claws.

Seizing the opportunity, Shadowmoon charged at the demon together with the boy. Shadowmoon leaped high, her sword aimed fiercely at the demon's eye, while the boy circled behind it, attacking its leg joints. The demon angrily swung its claws, Shadowmoon nimbly dodging, but the boy was swept aside and injured.

Just as the demon turned to finish off the boy, a holy white light suddenly descended from the sky, and a mysterious figure dressed in white emerged from it. The mysterious figure gently raised a hand, and the demon seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force, its movements slowing down. The crowd looked at the mysterious figure in astonishment. The mysterious figure smiled and said, "I've come to lend you a hand. This demon is not invincible." Then, the mysterious figure and the crowd launched a new attack. The demon gradually found itself at a disadvantage and was ultimately destroyed by the combined efforts of the crowd, and peace returned to the earth.
