Chapter 404: Escape
"There's no chance, let's withdraw!" Eugene said with a sigh after glancing at Quinnir and then at the golden sword below that had begun to glow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although when the plan to raid the Demon Slayer Canyon was first designed, breaking the spatial seal again was not a goal that Chaos Flame had to achieve, but when he saw that the situation was favorable before, Eugene did not really have the idea of moving.
In fact, if the Spider Demon Thorn and the demonic assassin Evely beside him can successfully raid Quinir, relying on the strength that is slightly superior to the defenders, as well as the Chaos Scepter in his hand, he may not be able to break the spatial seal that has not been completely repaired again, and then receive a group of powerful demons to enter the Ymir Continent.
And if this can really be done, Eugene's merit will be comparable to the 'Heart of Chaos' who broke the seal of space before, greatly pleasing the owner of the Chaos Flame and the demon prince Angola who rules over many demons. At that time, Eugene will not only be able to grasp more authority of the Chaos Scepter and dominate more demons, but it will also be possible to gain the opportunity to advance to the immortal rank.
However, after determining that the Spider Thorn and the Demon Assassin Evely had failed in their attack on Quinir, and had not been able to solve the strongest combat force in the Demon Slayer Canyon, and that both of them were seriously injured, Eugene gave up the idea of continuing the fight.
Although judging from the breath, Quinir was not unscathed in this assassination, but now it is obvious that he still maintains a fairly strong combat power. This kind of legendary peak master joined the battle group, and with the holy weapon 'Sword of Glory' that was about to be activated in the hands of Prince Ernest of the Calendula Kingdom below, if he continued to fight, even with the Chaos Scepter in his hand, Eugene would have no chance of winning, let alone go further and break the spatial seal.
And once it gets to that point, facing an enemy that may have reinforcements arriving at any moment, it will be difficult for the people of Chaos Flame to even retreat. If you're unlucky, you might even be left behind with one or two people. After all, Quinil's powerful control ability and the explosive lethality of the Sword of Glory are amazingly strong, even to a master like Eugene, who is also at the peak of the legendary rank, there is a huge threat.
Therefore, even though the temptation of breaking the spatial seal was great, when facing the threat of life and death, Eugene immediately chose to be safe, urged the Chaos Scepter, and opened a portal full of chaos magic aura.
This 'Chaos Portal', which is opened with the highest level of Chaos magic, is one of the most important abilities of the Chaos Scepter, and it is immune to most spatial prohibitions, so even if the Demon Slayer Canyon is full of various spatial prohibitions, it still can't stop the operation of the Chaos Portal.
In fact, a very important reason why the Chaos Flame organization can continue to survive in the encirclement and suppression of many forces is the existence of the Chaos Scepter, a treasure that is almost an artifact. Relying on this scepter, the warlock masters of Chaos Flame can not only exert combat power beyond their own level, but also are hardly afraid of any spatial traps ambushes and sieges.
Historically, the Flame of Chaos has been found by the encircled forces more than once and almost completely wiped out, but in the end, it all relied on the 'Chaos Portal' to escape and ascend to heaven, retaining the core power. Previously, Gally received the first batch of demons to enter the Ymir Continent, and also escaped the tracking of Bowen and Anthony through the Chaos Portal.
And this time, Eugene and the others dared to come directly to attack the heavy garrison, and they had already connected the major forces, and the Demon Slayer Canyon, where reinforcements might arrive at any time, relied on the power of the Chaos Staff. Even if the attack fails, as long as they are not too warlike, Eugene and the others can rely on the 'Chaos Portal' to calmly retreat.
"Eugene, you are too timid, why do you want to retreat? As long as we hold on for a while longer, the power on the side of the abyss will be able to completely lock this spatial node, and when the time comes, we will be able to completely open the spatial passage!" Hearing Eugene's words, Cyril and his succubus leaned over directly, but Cartier, the Baroyan demon below, did not respond immediately, but scolded Eugene angrily.
Although theoretically speaking, Chaos Flame and Cartier, a demon from the abyss, Evely, are all in the service of the demon prince Angola, and they can be regarded as a family. But in reality, the relationship between the two sides is not as harmonious as it seems on the outside.
After all, demons are essentially chaotic creatures that worship strength and power. If it weren't for the fact that the Scepter of Chaos was given the power to dominate the demons by the Demon Prince, and could suppress the demon's frantic nature to a certain extent, Cartier and the others would have fought first for the dominance of the people of the Flame of Chaos.
However, even with the Chaos Scepter, a demon like Cartier, who has his own status and faction in the abyss and has come to the Mir continent with a special mission, will not completely obey the orders of the Chaos Flame higher-ups. On the contrary, because his strength and backers are not inferior to the Flame of Chaos, Cartier's confidence is even more than that of Eugene. So even though the leader of the operation was Eugene, Cartier still went his own way, and even dared to directly oppose Eugene's decision.
"Commander Cartier. I am the leader of this operation and the bearer of the Scepter of Chaos, and I have the power to decide whether and when to retreat. While activating the power of the Chaos Scepter and creating a tough Chaos Crystal Wall to resist the counterattack of Bowen and Anthony, Eugene said lightly to Cartier: "If you are not willing to obey the orders of Cartier, then stay here and fight by yourself!"
Although Eugene was annoyed by Cartier's opposition, he was not surprised. The faction behind Cartier has always wanted to establish a spatial passage as soon as possible in order to gain the favor of the demon prince and the opportunity to enter the Ymir continent to kill first. And as the henchman of the Abyss Lord behind him, it is normal for Cartier to work harder than Eugene.
After all, before the spatial passage was completely stabilized, the abyss was connected to the Ymir Continent, and the assimilation was opened, a powerful demon like Cartier whose soul origin was in the abyss was almost equivalent to immortality in the Ymir Continent. He could risk dying in battle to persevere, and win the reward of the higher ranks at the cost of being born again, but Eugene would not risk his life with Cartier.
So after expressing his attitude, Eugene did not hesitate to buy directly into the Chaos Portal, and Cyril also sneered and followed in with his succubus. In the end, in desperation, facing the human masters who had already surrounded him, Cartier turned into a flame and rushed in before the chaos portal finally closed.
