Lord of the Sky City

Chapter 365: Chapter 339: Destroy the Demon!

“`

Orton and his two companions arrived in time to save Rocky’s life, but it was only a temporary measure.

Even under the restraint of the three, the Knife Fox Demon was still resisting. Firmly bound in midair, the demon let out piercing screams while struggling violently. In just a second or two, the pair of scythes hovering over Rocky’s head moved slightly.

Clearly, the restraint imposed by Orton and his two companions began to loosen after just a few seconds.

This is what makes a high-level demon, a terribly fearsome monster!

In such a situation, Rocky had no time to delay. He immediately gathered all the mana of his armor at his chest and activated the Demon Annihilation Cannon.

During his previous encounter with the Knife Fox Demon, Rocky had thought of using the Demon Annihilation Cannon. He had always known that only the Demon Annihilation Cannon could counter a high-level demon, but he never had the chance to use this trump card, for a very simple reason: he just didn’t have the opportunity.

Although the power of the Demon Annihilation Cannon was immense, the time required to prepare for firing was equally long. It needed at least three seconds of charging before the Demon Annihilation Cannon could be used, but would the Knife Fox Demon give him those three seconds?@@novelbin@@

Even if Rocky had those three seconds, even if he completed charging the Demon Annihilation Cannon, could he hit the incredibly fast Knife Fox Demon?

The answer was definitive. He certainly couldn’t hit the target, which was why he had not used this move until now.

But now he had an opportunity. Orton and the other two used their magic power to restrain the Knife Fox Demon, making this terrible creature unable to move or escape, turning it into a live target. This gave Rocky the chance to use the Demon Annihilation Cannon to finish it off!

So, realizing that Orton and the others could not hold on for much longer, Rocky immediately activated the Demon Annihilation Cannon.

But at the same moment the mana was being gathered at his chest, the restrained Knife Fox Demon began to resist even more fiercely, clearly sensing the impending danger. The sounds coming from its throat became even more piercing, and its struggles grew more violent.

Since it was so close, Rocky could see every detail of the Knife Fox Demon’s reaction with perfect clarity. He could see every hair on the demon’s body stand on end at this moment, and its eyes, previously curved like crescent moons, were now as round and terrifying as full moons.

One second…

When Rocky noticed this change in the Knife Fox Demon, only a single second had passed.

Two seconds…

And by the time two seconds had gone by, the Demon Annihilation Cannon at his chest was more than halfway charged, and blinding brightness had already begun to emerge from the massive muzzle.

Meanwhile, the Knife Fox Demon’s resistance also intensified. The screams from its throat had reached an indescribably shrill level, and its body, although restrained, was noticeably trembling. In particular, the pair of scythes had descended further, the sharp tips now completely penetrating Rocky’s helmet with ease!

Three seconds!

The three-second charging time was finally up. Rocky didn’t waste a fraction of a moment and instantly fired the Demon Annihilation Cannon!

A massive column of light shot from his chest straight into the sky, engulfing the Knife Fox Demon that was only inches away. Yet even so, when the demon’s entire body was swallowed by the light column, its piercing screams did not stop!

What did this mean…

It meant that the monster was not yet dead!

Everyone was stunned to discover that the Knife Fox Demon, hit directly by the Demon Annihilation Cannon, was still screaming. At that moment, everyone’s mind went blank. This was true for the guards on the city walls, for Liliya and Monte in midair, for Rocky on the ground, and even for Orton and his companions.

If even the Demon Annihilation Cannon couldn’t kill the Knife Fox Demon, what on earth could…

Despair set in.

“`

At this moment, listening to the Knife Fox Demon’s scream after being struck by the Demon Annihilation Cannon, everyone felt disheartened.

But just then, everyone suddenly realized that something was amiss.

The piercing scream seemed to have changed?

The previous screams from the Knife Fox Demon were unpleasant and piercing, almost having a tangible lethality to them, affecting every listener or demon severely; the weaker ones could even lose their ability to fight on the spot.

But now, everyone found out that while the Knife Fox Demon’s voice was still unpleasant and piercing, it lacked the original lethality. It sounded as if it were no longer a scream, but had become… a wail!

Yes, the Knife Fox Demon was wailing!

After being hit directly by the Demon Annihilation Cannon, the Knife Fox Demon let out a piercing wail. This wailing then grew weaker, until it finally stopped altogether.

And it was precisely when the wail of the Knife Fox Demon completely vanished that the light beam of the Demon Annihilation Cannon also disappeared, followed by the sound of a clang, as the scythe in the hand of the Knife Fox Demon dropped to the ground.

All this happened very quickly, but in reality, it only took a few short seconds. As those seconds passed, when people looked towards Rocky again, they found no trace of the Knife Fox Demon, leaving only the scythe lying on the ground.

The Knife Fox Demon, dead!

Lying on the ground, Rocky turned his head and glanced at the scythe beside him, before he finally took a long breath out.

He had survived.

And won!

After confirming that all of it was real, and not a dream, Rocky got up from the ground. But just as he had barely gotten to his feet, he saw a figure throw herself directly into his arms.

“Rocky!”

Being tightly embraced by Liliya, Rocky immediately felt a surge of acute pain throughout his body, but he had no time to worry about that, as he quickly looked down at Liliya to find her already sobbing inconsolably in his arms.

“It’s alright… it’s alright…”

Gently patting Liliya’s back, Rocky said with a smile to comfort her. When he looked to the side, he saw Monte, Dusa, Lin Feng, and Sandro had all arrived. Dusa, like Liliya, was crying raining tears, while the eyes of the other few were red-rimmed as they looked at him.

“I’m fine…”

Glancing at them, Rocky then turned to look towards the city walls, where he saw a host of Guards, and then waved at them.

“City Lord is mighty!”

“City Lord is mighty!”

“City Lord is mighty!”

As Rocky waved at the Guards, a chorus of cheers erupted from the city walls. Everyone raised their weapons high, excitedly shouting Rocky’s name.

Facing this wave after wave of loud shouts, Rocky smiled. He then turned his head towards the opposite side and saw that the demons, which had previously approached fiercely, had now retreated completely.

This was indeed a rare occurrence; after all, in people’s minds, demons are never known to retreat. But now it seemed, that belief was not correct, because even monsters know fear!
