From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Quick to come, quick to go, obey orders without question, elusive.

By the time Lu Heng dealt with Flame Demon Gross and turned back to find the Shadow Demons, none were visible.

Su Muyu reported: "The Shadow Demons retreated two minutes ago, leaving none behind."

After Lu Heng's Source Energy Level broke through to Level 45, his Agility Attribute surged, enhancing his movement speed and neural reaction speed. He initially wanted to challenge that Great Demon of the Shadow Race, but didn't expect it to retreat so decisively.

At this moment.

Lin Zeyu suddenly said: "I saw that team of Shadow Demons."

"Where?" Lu Heng was a bit curious.

Lin Zeyu pointed to a reef in the southeast direction, saying: "They are gathering over there, probably observing the situation. When I passed by there earlier, I left a Void Eye, and these Shadow Demons happened to be within its sight range."

Since Lin Zeyu's Skill Upgrade to [Void Eye], he can place an energy eye into the void, with a very strong concealment.

The only drawback is that it cannot move.

Therefore, a bit of skill and strategy are required when using this skill.

Lin Zeyu has developed a habit of choosing suitable locations to place Void Eyes as reconnaissance points while passing through places.

This battle went all the way from the Deep Freeze Sea Trench to the West Coast, and along the way, Lin Zeyu placed many Void Eyes, occasionally having to abandon some.

Just so happens, there was a Void Eye left on the reef 20 kilometers southeast, and, unfortunately, it spotted the Shadow Demons gathering there.

...

Meanwhile.

On the reef 20 kilometers southeast, the Great Demon Helmer of the Shadow Race gathered all the Shadow Race members to discuss the next actions.

The Shadow Race uses a very special energy exchange method when communicating, making it impossible for humans to eavesdrop without special detection measures.

This time, the Abyss Battlefield is a multi-camp battle mode, with the Shadow Race being the Abyss Summoner of this Abyss Battlefield.

The abyss summoning of the Shadow Race is similar to the situation of humans being summoned.

The summoning goal on the Shadow Race's side is to accelerate the Abyss Devouring Dragon Sleep World, while humans were summoned to naturally prevent the Abyss Devouring Tide Sea and clear the Abyss Pollution Source.

Therefore, the initial target of the Shadow Race was to break the seal of Deep Freeze Sea Trench and release the Flame Demon Gross, which was polluted by the abyss.

And Onatu was manipulated, rebelled for power, and used the Sea God's Scepter to break the seal; the whole incident was orchestrated by the Shadow Race behind the scenes.

Onatu himself wasn't polluted by the abyss, but multiple factors combined, leading to this incident.

Without the Sea God's Scepter to unlock the top layer of the seal, even if the Shadow Race attacked the seal of Deep Freeze Sea Trench with full force, it couldn't have been broken.

The entire incident is linked, one step leading to another, ultimately developing to the current situation.

In fact, after Flame Demon Gross broke out of the seal, the Shadow Race's mission was completed.

The Abyss gave the Shadow Race the task to release Flame Demon Gross, as for the eventual defeat of Flame Demon Gross, it was not closely related to the Shadow Race.

The Shadow Race doesn't need to be responsible for this, and the reward for completing their task remains unchanged.

Of course, Helmer, as the great demon of the Shadow Race, had a goal beyond merely releasing Flame Demon Gross.

He had a bigger aim, which was to destroy the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom and obtain the World Task reward.

If human recruiters can create an event that changes the world's configuration, they get a World Task reward.

The same is true for abyss recruiters.

The Shadow Race's summoning task is to release Flame Demon Gross, but to obtain the World Task reward, more effort is needed to impact the world's configuration.

Thus, destroying the Black Iron Dwarf Kingdom is key to obtaining the World Task reward.

Helmer analyzed the method to obtain the World Task reward, so since Flame Demon Gross appeared, he had been leading the Shadow Demons to escort Flame Demon Gross ashore.

During the period, he also dispatched Shadow Demon groups to intercept Sarian, preventing the Sea Demon Clan High Priestess from escaping a predicament.

It can be said that his arrangement was the best strategy, almost successful.

He just didn't expect Flame Demon Gross would meet his end 10 kilometers from the coastline, unable to cross just that little distance.

This also cost him the opportunity to get the World Task reward.

Helmer's Perception of the situation was very keen. When Flame Demon Gross split into two bodies, he knew this action failed.

To minimize losses, he ordered a retreat at the first moment, withdrawing to the reef for recuperation, preparing to maximize benefits from this summoning.

Flame Demon Gross has already been defeated, thus this action counts as a failure.

However, since summoned here, the aim is definitely to maximize benefits.

Therefore, Helmer plans to gather as many resources as possible in the last three days.

After communication, the Shadow Demons begin gliding along the sea surface towards the east, very fast.

After the Shadow Demons moved out.

Lin Zeyu reported immediately: "The Shadow Demons have moved, headed east, very fast, doesn't seem like a retreat, appears purposeful."

Lu Heng's eyes narrowed upon hearing this information, immediately realizing something.

The Sea Demon Clan's High Priestess and elders are now on the West Coast, meaning the defenses of the Sea Demon Clan's territory are vacant.

The Shadow Demons headed east, and that direction is exactly the Sea Demon Clan's territory.

The Vasqi Temple is also there.

Lu Heng immediately recalled a piece of information, in memory, the Sea Demon Clan's territory was once raided by Shadow Demons, the Sea God Statue in the Vasqi Temple was shattered, causing the Sea Demon Clan heavy damage.

Combining the two pieces of information, it's almost certain that the target of the Shadow Demons is now the defenseless Sea Demon Clan's territory.

More troublesome is that even if this intelligence is told to Sona now, it's already too late for reinforcements.

The Sea Demon Clan's territory is over three hundred kilometers from the West Coast.

With the Shadow Demons' flying speed, they could reach there at most within half an hour.

While the Sea Demon Clan returning from halfway, their speed is much slower.

This is the difference between sky power and ocean power.

Sky units have more rapid transferring capability, whereas ocean units can leverage the medium of seawater to obstruct foes.

The advantages of both are different, however now the Shadow Demons' movement direction has brought their flying advantage into play.

Lu Heng figured these out, hurriedly looked at High Priestess Sona, and reminded: "Shadow Demons have headed east, their target is likely the Sea Demon Clan's territory."

Upon hearing this.

The Sea Demon Clan priests, elders present all showed frightened expressions.

The Sea Demon Clan's strongest combat power has gathered here, leaving mostly women and children of the Sea Demon Clan and a few guards in the territory.

Under such circumstances, it's impossible to withstand the team raid led by the Great Demon of the Shadow Race.

Sona's expression instantly became very stern, shouting: "Quick! All priests follow me back to the territory."

Even if they don't match the Shadow Demons' speed, they must return at first moment.

However, an uneasy feeling settled in her heart, she already foresees that by the time they reach the territory, they'll probably only see a land full of corpses and collapsed temple.

All Sea Demon Clan priests, elders, warriors swam madly towards the territory.

Sona looked at Lu Heng, casting a pleading glance.

Without a word, Lu Heng raised his hand to summon the Mechanical Tiger, grabbed her wrist, jumped up, and soared skyward.

"Everyone follow, Mu Yu, find a way to intercept the Shadow Demons."

"Got it, Chongming Bird is already on the way." Su Muyu, upon knowing the Shadow Demons' movement direction, had already released Chongming Bird.
