Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Eradicating Lucius, The Four Saints Guardian Array
"You’re joking, right? You actually want the Montemar Empire, which I founded, to join your Demon race?" Johnnie scoffed. The Demon race was up to no good either—there were always traces of them behind the alien invasions on Earth.
Lucius glanced at him and spoke calmly, "Johnnie, let me be honest with you. Without our help, you won’t be able to defend The Chinese City."
"Heh, that’s not how I see it." Johnnie sneered, not bothering to waste more words. With a casual wave, his flying sword gleamed and shot toward Lucius.
Splat!
-369,600,000
A terrifying damage number flashed above—Johnnie’s strike dealt over three hundred million damage.
Lucius was killed instantly.
But the next moment, he resurrected right where he stood.
The Demon race possessed a special power that allowed them to revive on the spot, even after death.
Johnnie had acquired this protection too, thanks to that Demon named Jack back in the Phoenix Ruins.
Jack’s original plan had been to trap Johnnie in the lava forever, but ironically, it ended up helping him instead.
"You lowly human! How dare you slay Lord Lucius! You’re dead meat!" an infuriated shout rang out as the Demon army surged forward in a frenzy.
In their eyes, no matter how strong Johnnie was, there was no way he could stand against a hundred thousand Demon soldiers.
"Hmph, overestimating yourselves!" Johnnie sneered with utter disdain. He unleashed the Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords and the Five Elements Technique. Eight flying swords flashed with cold light as the surging elemental forces of the five elements roared around him. In just a single instant, thousands of Demon powerhouses were slain.
However, every Demon who died instantly revived on the spot, suffering no real loss at all.
"Cease fire!" Lucius immediately stopped his men from attacking further, glaring coldly at Johnnie. He growled, "Human, don’t push your luck too far."
He could sense that, while his soldiers might be able to tie up Johnnie, killing him was impossible. Besides, repeated deaths would cause irreversible damage to their minds.
Johnnie didn’t press the attack. Instead, he looked at Lucius with interest. "What’s the matter? Getting scared?"
"Scared? Hah!" Lucius snorted, looking down on him. "Johnnie, let me tell you something—the Doe Family will soon be able to withstand the Beast Wave. And that Douglas has obtained dual divine essences—his strength is now on par with today’s Divine powerhouses. Plus, several other gods are planning to target your Montemar Empire. You won’t be able to stop them. Joining the Demon race is your only option."
Dual divine essence deity?
Johnnie was puzzled. He’d never heard of a dual divine essence deity before, but it certainly sounded formidable.
Even so, even if the Montemar Empire failed, he would never side with the Demon race.
He spoke coldly, "Lucius, I’ll give you a chance to live. Tell me how to deal with the Mechanical Race, and I’ll let you go."
Lucius was dumbfounded by his words. It took him a moment to process it, and then he scoffed, "Johnnie, you may be powerful, but if you think you can kill me, you’re dreaming."
"Oh, really?" Johnnie chuckled, his eyes flashing coldly. A surge of Soul Power condensed into a phantom longsword and struck a Demon powerhouse standing next to Lucius.
"Ugh!" The man grunted, his eyes instantly losing all light as he collapsed to the ground.
His corpse didn’t disappear, nor did he revive immediately.
"What’s going on?" Lucius frowned deeply and hurried over to check the man’s condition.
"S-Soul attack!" he cried out in shock, staring hard at Johnnie, his face filled with terror. "You actually have soul attack techniques!"
The Demon powerhouses nearby instinctively stepped back, all their previous arrogance gone.
Lucius swallowed hard, his eyes full of wariness.
Soul attacks were mysterious and unpredictable, capable of erasing the soul entirely—true death.
Only those whose Soul Intensity exceeded their opponent’s could resist it.
But Johnnie had just effortlessly instant killed the powerhouse beside him, which meant his Soul Intensity had reached an unimaginable level—far beyond what Lucius could withstand.
Facing this threat of true death, the thought of retreat had already taken root in Lucius’s heart.
Johnnie spoke again, "Tell me how to deal with the Mechanical Race."
He knew the Mechanical Race’s weakness was the energy core inside their bodies, but destroying it was troublesome, especially for ordinary players.
Lucius tried to keep his composure and said, "Human, telling you is pointless. Only some of us Demon powerhouses possess the method. It’s called Hellfire. It can directly burn the Mechanical Race’s energy core and kill them. Here, I’m the only one who can use Hellfire."
Hellfire? That sounded like some kind of flame power.
Johnnie thought of Jack, the Demon who’d been trapped in the magma at the Phoenix Ruins.
Back then, he was hunting Fire Demons and collecting Fire-Spirit Pearls.
Johnnie pressed further, "How does one master Hellfire?"
Lucius shook his head and replied, "This ability is innate. It can’t be acquired through training."
"Is that so? Then it seems you’re not worth much after all." Johnnie’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Oh no!
Lucius’s face changed dramatically as he sensed the looming threat of death. He turned to run without a second thought.
Buzz!
The air trembled slightly as a powerful soul attack struck in an instant.
No matter how fast Lucius was, he couldn’t outrun Johnnie’s soul attack.
Splat!
The Sword of Souls pierced his mind. In an instant, his soul was erased.
Lucius collapsed to the ground in the very posture of fleeing, utterly lifeless, his belongings scattering everywhere.
"Run!" someone screamed. The Demon army panicked and fled in all directions.
Faced with the threat of true death, these guys were even more cowardly than monsters.
Johnnie wasn’t going to let them off that easily. He unleashed soul attacks one after another.
But the Sword of Souls was a single-target technique—way too slow for mass slaughter. He couldn’t kill them all.
And as he cast soul skills repeatedly, his head throbbed with dizziness—a sign that his Soul Power was running dangerously low.
Apparently, soul attacks consumed a massive amount of energy.
Then again, it made sense. After all, it was a method that could erase players completely.
Johnnie dared not use soul attacks any further. He switched to the Cosmic Eclipse Blade, chasing down the fleeing Demons and slaughtering them as he went.
But with ordinary attacks, the Demons could simply revive on the spot, so it was no real threat to them.
Many of the Demons even chose to log off right where they stood.
Johnnie didn’t bother to chase them any longer. What mattered most now was defending against the Mechanical Race and establishing the Montemar Empire.
Outside The Chinese City, the battle raged on.
The Mechanical Race continued to display terrifying combat power—ordinary soldiers and players simply couldn’t threaten them.
Fortunately, the Four Saints Guardian Array was operating at full strength, barely holding off the Mechanical Race’s assault.
Johnnie finished off those Demon race guys and came back to the foot of the city wall, ready to deal with the Mechanical Race again.
"Hellfire can threaten the Mechanical Race. I wonder if my Fire-Element Law could do the same?" he thought to himself, recalling what Lucius had said.
With that in mind, he unleashed Dancing Fire Dragon, gathering Fire-Elemental Power into a ferocious dragon that roared toward one of the Mechanical Race powerhouses.
Flames surged upward, instantly engulfing the enemy.
Boom!
A flash of light erupted as an energy cannon shot straight at him.
No effect?
Johnnie frowned, his body flickering as he nimbly dodged the incoming blast.
Crack, crack...
Just then, a faint cracking sound echoed out as tiny fissures started to appear on the tough mechanical body.
It worked, but it wasn’t enough to threaten the mechanical energy core. This level of damage was nothing to the Mechanical Race.
It seemed only the Demon race’s Hellfire could actually threaten the Mechanical Race.
Johnnie gave up on using the Five Elements Technique and gripped the Void Sword, slashing directly at the enemy’s head.
Kaboom!
With a deafening roar, the mechanical energy core was destroyed, and the machine toppled over, turning into a heap of scrap metal.
[You have slain the Mechanical Race Battle Mecha. Mechanical Perception +1]
[Your Mechanical Perception has increased to 10,000 points. Mechanical Talent +1%.]
The prompt messages appeared, and Johnnie’s eyes lit up.
So Mechanical Perception really could increase mechanical talent.
But it took ten thousand points of Mechanical Perception to boost mechanical talent by just one percent.
After gaining Mechanical Perception, Johnnie felt a strange connection to the Mechanical Race, although it wasn’t very clear yet.
"Looks like my mechanical talent is still too low." Johnnie muttered, picking up the energy core dropped by the Battle Mecha and charging toward another Mechanical Race Battle Mecha.
Now that he had mechanical talent, he could finally refine and absorb the energy cores—though he still didn’t know exactly what they were for.
The Mechanical Race’s defense was insane; only destroying the energy core could kill them.
This really slowed down Johnnie’s slaughtering speed.
Luckily, his Technique of Swordsmanship for Controlling Swords was unpredictable and could strike the Mechanical Race’s weak energy cores with pinpoint accuracy.
Boom!
Suddenly, a violent crash rang out as Black Tortoise’s massive body was sent flying. Cracks appeared across its hard shell, blood streaming down—he was wounded.
This Titan Mecha dealt devastating damage—enough to break through Black Tortoise’s defenses and actually threaten him.
"Azure Dragon, this guy is too dangerous. And he isn’t affected by the Universe Continent’s power suppression. Let’s use the Four Saints Guardian Array." Johnnie said, his expression grave.
"Alright." Azure Dragon realized it too, then turned to Maiev and said, "Maiev, stall him for a bit."
"Got it." Maiev nodded, her face serious. She was already battered and bruised, and one of her wings had been torn.
Black Tortoise and Azure Dragon immediately flew into the city, merging into the Four Saints Guardian Array. The two of them had to operate the array personally.
Rumble...
Suddenly, thunder rolled across the sky, and countless purple lightning serpents danced above.
Not only that, but a magnificent river appeared, glittering with starlight—astonishingly, it was a vast Milky Way.
"Demons unleashed!"
"Celestial Hanging River!"
The majestic voices of Azure Dragon and Black Tortoise echoed through the air, filling the battlefield with terrifying pressure.Endless lightning flickered, targeting not just the Mechanical Titan, but every Mechanical Race machine surrounding the city.
Crack! Crack!
With a series of deafening crashes, one mechanical mech after another was struck by lightning, sparks flying from their bodies as their movements slowed.
This lightning had a paralyzing effect—or rather, it threatened their mechanical energy cores.
Whoosh—
Next, the mighty river came crashing down, pouring straight onto the Mechanical Titan.
Boom!
The ground shook violently as the Mechanical Titan was knocked over, then swallowed up by the endless torrent.
