Chapter 437: Extinction (2-in-1)
Looking down from the sky, at this time, you can see a huge irregular crack in the dark earth of the Demon Realm, which is where Thesby Prison is located.
The area of this rift is more than five square kilometers, and this is only the opening, and it is said that the whole rift is like a ladder, and the part below is even more extensive.
This special rift like the scar of the earth, the specific source is no longer verifiable, it should be formed by the geological changes of the demon world, what is more strange is that the dark power of this rift is very rich, so that a thick fog is formed above the rift, and the color of the dense fog is even darker than the surrounding demon world.
It is precisely because of these black fogs that it is impossible to see the inside of the rift valley from above.
Although the name is called Thesby Prison, in fact, there are no artificial structures in the interior of the rift, according to Cerberus, the rock wall inside the rift is full of caves carved out by the whipping demons, and a large number of whipping demons live here, in addition to many fierce and vicious monsters and demon plants coexist in this rift, once someone breaks in, they will be besieged by these aborigines.
"So far, no one knows how deep this rift is!" Cerberus explained to Roy: "The further down the rift, the wider the area of the rift will become, the more complicated the road will become, and even the flogging demons that inhabit here will probably lose their way. ”
"What's the situation, tell me all about it!" Roy didn't answer her either, and asked directly.
"Okay...... Also be aware that these Lash Demons may not be suppressed or affected by your rank! Cerberus Road.
"What do you mean?" Bainia asked, somewhat confused, "You mean, those whipping demons would have the audacity to attack a demon lord?" ”
The three heads of Cerberus nodded, and said with a serious expression: "This is also the real reason why their lair will be called a prison, I said before that these whipping demons are not the demon race of the abyss, but the mutated demon race caused by the demon environment, the demon blood in their bodies is very thin, for high-level demons, they don't have the slightest awe, let alone the demon lord, it is very likely that even if His Majesty Mundus comes, they will also attack madly?" Because for these mutated demons? They're just eliminating the invaders who have entered their territory......"
"Hmph, it's a heresy!" Bainia couldn't help but snort coldly when she heard this.
For the Abyss Demon with a very serious sense of hierarchy? Aren't these flogging demons heretical? Or even in combination with the sadistic and torturous nature of these whipping demons? They're just a bunch of demons out of the wild!
"How many of these flogging demons are there?" Juliel also asked with a serious expression.
"Uncountable!" Cerberus shook his head and said, "But it may exceed ten million!" ”
"How could there be so many?" Bainia hears this number? couldn't help but change their faces.
Cerberus also stepped on his forelimbs twice with some discomfort, and said, "Maybe even more!" To know? The strength of these whipping demons is actually not strong? Most of them are just lower-level demons, and a few strong individuals can reach the level of middle-rank demons, but this is such strength? But no demon has ever been able to drive them away? Thus occupying this rift...... Because the reproductive ability of these whipping demons is really amazing, they are also oviparous demons, but they can lay more than twenty eggs at a time, and over the years, they have accumulated quite an astonishing number. ”
"A species like the Whiplash? Is there a lot of it in the Demon Realm? Roy asked with a frown.
"Indeed, there are a lot, since the demons discovered this world? It's been a long time since you occupied the purgatory space and turned it into a demon realm? At least tens of thousands of years of history, in such a long time? Of course, there are many mutated demons,......" Cerberus said, "In fact, you should have discovered it too?" Most of the demons here are more or less different from the demons of the abyss world? It's just that a race like the Whip Demon is particularly special. ”
Yes, the demon is originally a creature that is very able to adapt to the environment and evolve, at the beginning in the dark bloodline world, human beings released nuclear weapons all over the world to attack demons and angels, and the entire space was filled with deadly radiation, at that time, there were many demons that evolved rapidly, so as to adapt to the radiation environment and survived, in the demon world here, it is natural to produce a large number of mutations.
Only a powerful high-ranking elite demon like Cerberus survived long enough to maintain the morphological characteristics of an abyssal demon.
"Let's go, no matter how many there are, those who dare to stop will be killed!" Roy spread his wings as he spoke, leaving Rafalo's back and descending from the sky.
Behind him, Juliel and Bainia landed with Kassandra and Silas, but Dante and the three of them, along with Cerberus, were carried down by the Fat Tiger.
Since the number of whipping demons is so large, it is definitely not enough to rely on Roy alone, and at this time, the more natural combat power, the better.
In the process of descending from a high altitude, it can be seen that the pitch-black rift is getting bigger and bigger, covering an area of five square kilometers, Roy and a group of people are as inconspicuous as a sesame seed on a flatbread compared to each other, and after passing through the dense layer of dark elemental mist, the vision suddenly brightened.
Flapping his wings, Roy controlled his speed, flying down as he looked around.
As Cerberus said, in the rock walls of the inner part of the rift, dense black caverns could be seen, as if the entire rift had been hollowed out, and when Roy and the others entered, pairs of dark green lights appeared in these caves one after another.
Needless to say, this is the Whip Demon that inhabits the cave!
With a terrible, jackal-like roar, the entire interior of the rift suddenly boiled, as if droplets of water had dripped into a hot pot of oil, and thousands of whipping demons flew out of their caves, and the overwhelming scene was simply shocking.
It was only at this time that everyone could see the appearance of these whipping demons clearly, saying that they were demons, but in fact, these whipping demons looked more like monsters, they had a pair of strange demon wings with membranes, but their bodies were like huge mosquitoes, and there were two rows of symmetrical eyes on their foreheads, four in each row, arranged from large to small from front to back, and their faces looked very weird, and on their mouths, there was a sharp breath like a stinging needle, as if the way to prey was to suck blood.
And the reason why they are called whipping demons is because of the six legs under their abdomen that look like long whips of flesh thorns, and those long flesh thorns have a dim black and purple light, which looks highly poisonous at first glance.
When hunting prey, they will use these thorn whip-like legs, tightly wrap around the prey, rely on the toxins on them to make the prey lose its ability to resist, and then the whip demons will not eat the prey immediately, but will bring it back to the nest, and torture the prey with the thorn whip repeatedly, until finally the prey dies of fear and pain, and they will use the sharp mouthparts to slowly taste the blood and delicious soul of the prey.
Roy's intrusion alarmed these flocking floggers, and the frightened floggers flew out of the cave and gathered together, and the terrifying scene could see people have a dense phobia.
Perhaps because of the huge number of people, the food of these whipping demons has always been in a state of scarcity, hungry and hungry, once they find their prey, they will rush up desperately to snatch it, even if Roy has released his magic power to the maximum, these whipping demons are still constantly surrounding, although they do not dare to directly rush up to attack for the time being, but anyone can detect their greed for food, this greed and hunger, will eventually make them lose their minds.
"Let's make a move, it seems that we can't go down without reducing their numbers!" Roy Road.
Receiving Roy's order, Juliel and Bainia immediately launched an attack first, the flames became very useful in the face of this kind of social creature, Juliel's destructive flames shot one after another, this incomparably violent flame, each time it exploded a large piece, and the whipped demons who were blown up, not even the ashes were left.
Bainia activated her charm magic, causing the flogging demons to kill each other, and although the enchanted flogging demons will soon be destroyed by the other flogging demons, they will be seduced by Bainia into a new batch of new ones when they turn their heads.
Kassandra also took action, but she used undead manipulation, and the whipping demons who were seduced by Bainia turned into corpses after death, and naturally became Kassandra's best target for spellcasting.
Fat Tiger and Cerberus on his back spewed fire, frost, toxins, and lightning from every head, while Dantinilo Virgil and Silas were constantly killing those who slipped through the net with their guns.
In the face of such a huge number of enemies, no one in the group dared to relax, and could only cooperate with each other.
Their killing efficiency is actually very high, but the number of Whip Demons is still not decreasing, because if some of the Whip Demons die, more Whip Demons will join in, at this moment, everyone has been shrouded in a huge cage composed of Whip Demons, from the outside, there is even a feeling of impenetrableness.
Roy hasn't made a move yet, he knows very well that in the face of such a number of whipping demons, even if he is a demon lord, he will use up all his magic power in the constant battle, so he must think of a means once and for all.
And at this moment, Roy is also very puzzled, although the soul projection of Sparta points to the bottom here, but will the body of Sparta really be here? ? Even a group of people like himself are so wasteful, how can Sparta stay here alone? Especially the crazy character of these floggers, even if Sparta was really imprisoned by Mundus, how could Mundus guarantee that he would not be torn apart by these floggers?
Roy reached out and grabbed one of the floggers who rushed through the fire net and pounced on him, and he pinched the flogger's head, the magic light in his hand constantly changing and flickering.
"Magic Virus...... It doesn't seem to have much effect. ”
"Barren Virus...... It doesn't seem to be able to kill them, right...... These guys are mutants in the first place! ”
"The Black Death? This effect is not very good......"
"Ebola? Anthrax? It's not quite right, this kind of virus is against humans or primates, these guys are demons, and their resistance is different...... Then try a virus like foot-and-mouth disease! ”
Roy now has a large number of different plagues and viruses in his hands, all of which have been obtained from Beelzebub's relics, and Roy has constantly caught one flogger after another, testing the effects of various viruses on them, hoping to find a virus that is more effective against floggers.
In the process of Roy's experiments, they all relied on Juliel to resist the attacks of these whip demons, and most of the whip demons who pounced on him and wanted to attack him were blocked by Juliel and Bainia for him.
Time passed little by little, but gradually, Juliel and the others were a little overwhelmed, and the magic power was consumed too quickly, so the group gradually began to suffer.
This can be regarded as a representative of quantity over quality, and in the face of such a huge group of low-level demons, Rao is high-level demons will also feel a lot of headaches.
"Hey! Osiris, haven't you done it yet!? ”
Dante finally couldn't help shouting, although he didn't know what Roy was doing and why he didn't make a move, but at this time he really couldn't hold on, and even the form of the Sin Demon was revealed, but in the face of the whipping demon who was not afraid of death, his magic power was still being consumed rapidly, and even there were several more wounds on his body.
Roy ignored his shouts and concentrated on experimenting, he was also a little annoyed at this time, because he had tested hundreds of viruses, but the effect was not too good, although some viruses could kill the Whip Demon, but they were not very contagious, and they could not quickly kill the Whip Demon, while some viruses were more contagious, but they might not be able to kill these guys.
But at this time, Roy saw a very special phenomenon in a freshly caught whipping demon, this whipping demon was injected with a virus by him, and it actually showed manic symptoms of rolling eyes.
"Huh?" Roy's heart moved, and he threw the whip demon out, only to see that the whip demon was crazy, attacking his own kind, he kept pumping his thorn whip at his own kind, and at the same time kept stabbing his own kind with his mouthparts, it felt like he was biting the other party.
And the kind of people who were poked by his mouthparts soon showed the same symptoms, became manic, and then attacked other members of the same kind as well.
"This is it!" Roy grinned a hideous grin, and then suddenly around his body, a hurricane blew, and some black light mist spread out from his body, blended into the wind, and was blown in all directions.
Soon, the whipping demons who kept rushing towards everyone suddenly fell into a huge chaos, because many of them were constantly attacking their own kind.
This manic behavior soon spread to the entire group, and for a while, the whipping demons didn't even bother to attack Roy, but just frantically pounced on their own kind and fought with their kind.
Juliel and they were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, and Bainia asked Roy with some curiosity, "Dear, what have you done?" ”
"It's nothing, I just found a virus that works very well for them!" Roy snorted coldly, looked at the corpse of the whipping demon that kept falling down, and explained to everyone: "It's the rabies virus!" ”
"Rabies??" Dante and Nero looked at each other, never expecting that it would be the virus that had a miraculous effect on the Whip Demon......
The Whip Demons were already very crazy, and when the rabies virus spread among their population, as if it were poison on poison, their madness had become irrepressible, and even their own kind could not be distinguished.
As time passed, this frenzied mutual biting showed no sign of stopping, and it spread more and more ferociously.
"Your Majesty Osiris!" Cerberus saw something, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You...... Are you planning to exterminate these flogging demons!? ”
