Chapter 417: Courage in the Face of Death (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A member of the white team was under attack by more than a dozen level-one demons. The hand wielding his spear had already sagged downward, as he struggled to keep the approaching demons at bay. Even wearing the World-Termination-Armour, his legs trembled.

This was the first sign of overexertion.

The overexertion caused by wearing the armour was totally incomparable with the earlier fatigue.

The moment their last bit of energy was depleted, their mental and physical states would undergo a tremendous deterioration. Not only would this deterioration render them immobile at that point in time, it would completely destroy their physical bodies – they could never live like a normal human being for the rest of their lives!

Ji Fengyan surveyed the scene and discovered that several youths were already displaying the first signs of overexertion. Their attacks had obviously slowed down and their movements were laborious.

Only Liu Kai and his two friends were in good condition. They were still fighting with vigor as they had expended no energy earlier.

Just as Ji Fengyan perceived this, the azure ice giant emitted another earth-shaking howl. Following that, it finally took its first step toward the battle. In addition, the level two demons responded to the azure ice giant’s command and surged toward the 16 youths, ready to attack!

It was very easy to kill level-one demons. However, there was a huge jump in the strength, speed and intelligence of the demons from level to level. It would not be a simple matter for even a Terminator to kill them all!

More than a hundred demons level two and above had gathered. A black mass swarming onto the battlefield, instantly turning the tide!

The already-exhausted youths started to suffer from the incoming attack. The demons were cunning. They directed part of their strength to continue depleting the energy of some youths, while reserving the main bulk of their combat power toward those youths who were nearing overexertion, to make good use of this opportunity to kill them.

A demon attacked a member of the white team from behind and bit into his shoulder. The sharp fangs penetrated the World-Termination-Armour and pierced into his flesh.

The youth groaned. Ignoring his weakened state, he swept his weapon across his back. However, fresh blood kept flowing out of his wound.

The World-Termination-Armour was much tougher than your usual armour; It was practically invulnerable.

But...

The demons had already discovered a way to penetrate the armour!

Ji Fengyan could tell that the situation was getting increasingly dire for them. At that moment, a shadow fell across her head as the ground shook beneath her feet.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Fengyan flew up in an energetic leap!

Just as she left the ground, the azure ice giant’s savage front claws swiped past her original spot!

With just one stroke from those claws, a deep crater had appeared in the ground. If those claws had contacted Ji Fengyan, they have slashed her to smithereens.

Still in mid-air, Ji Fengyan turned to look at the attacking azure ice giant.

The azure ice giant had been eyeing Ji Fengyan right from the start. It clearly held a superior intelligence, being able to tell that this young lady was the most powerful among the congregation of youths.

“What a smart beast.” Ji Fengyan gently landed and smiled coldly at that azure ice giant.
