Free Web NovelChapter 2492: Chapter 1097: Recruiting Troops and Horses
"You want to attack my Soul Fire, but you’re not qualified!" Skeleton Slayer’s Slaughter Divine Power surged, and the Balrog Flame Whip not only failed to penetrate his body, but was firmly grasped by him.
"Divine Body? How is this possible?" Balor Flame Demon’s cruel smile froze immediately, emitting a desperate scream.
Indeed, his Balrog Flame Whip can pierce flesh, bind the soul directly, and forcibly pull it out, but this is only effective on ordinary creatures. For Divine Power Presence who have reshaped their bodies with divine power, this move doesn’t work.
Divine Power is a higher layer of energy, most Laws in the mundane world are not applicable to it.
The Balor Flame Demon attempted to initiate Short-Distance Teleportation to flee, but he was a step too late.
Skeleton Slayer could not pass up this unexpected opportunity; his other fist had already pounded down heavily.
Before the fist arrived, the Skeleton Tornado of Slaughter struck first.
A small Skeleton Tornado composed of Slaughter Divine Power enveloped the Balor Flame Demon, and fine skeletal remains splattered against his body.
For the Balor Flame Demon, such a small Skeleton Tornado wasn’t lethal; at least it couldn’t snap his bones.
However, his Short-Distance Teleportation could no longer be activated, and his flying ability was severely restricted, his Demon Wings were twisting and deforming.
He could only watch helplessly as the Skeleton Slayer’s Skeleton giant fist came crashing towards him, and the only thing he could do was to meet it with the Thunder Hammer in his left hand.
Boom!
The Skeleton giant fist and the Thunder Hammer collided heavily.
The Balor Flame Demon showed his strong side, for the Skeleton giant fist infused with Divine Nature Force was hammered into a shallow crater, with spider-like cracks spreading from its center, while electric arcs flashed incessantly.
But that was all; whether shallow craters or cracks, they were being repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Balor Flame Demon was in a forlorn state; not only was the Thunder Hammer forced away, but he himself was struck by the Skeleton giant fist. Even though he managed to cast aside the Balrog Flame Whip in time, he was still uncontrollably cast into a parabolic path.
Skeleton Slayer did not initiate Godhood Form, yet he still had a body type advantage over the Balor Flame Demon, the latter was merely colossal.
Skeleton Slayer pursued relentlessly, taking large strides and following closely, as his large hand extended and Slaughter Divine Power surged frantically, directly enveloping the Balor Flame Demon. The powerful divine force pressure created an effect similar to Sealing, which prevented him from activating Short-Distance Teleportation.
After he ascended to Demigod, certain methods of using divine power became innate.
One wrong step leads to countless mistakes.
Originally, the Balor Flame Demon wasn’t so vulnerable, but when he misjudged the strength of Skeleton Slayer, he plunged himself into an Abyssal of doom.
Skeleton Slayer didn’t let him hit the ground, seizing his colossal bull-headed cranium directly and pounding it heavily toward the ground.
The horrifying Strength left him dazed and unable to execute an effective counterattack.
After frenziedly pounding him seven or eight times, Skeleton Slayer lifted the Balor Flame Demon from the ground as if he were a child, grabbing his Demon Wings with the other hand, tearing them out with brute force, and loudly questioning: "I’ll give you a choice, should I tear you apart and turn you into an Undead? Or will you submit to me and become my subordinate?"
He naturally wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity to recruit.
Especially since such powerful subordinates were what he lacked the most.
"I am willing to submit!" replied the Balor Flame Demon candidly.
Demons do not adhere to the notion of rather dying than surrendering, especially when submitting to a Divine Power Presence.
"Good!" Skeleton Slayer showed no intention of letting go, a blood-colored rib spontaneously broke, joined end to end to form a headband shape, and flew toward the Balor Flame Demon, "Put it on!"
Upon ascending to Demigod, the enhancements were comprehensive, and his original abilities were also strengthened.
"This..." The Balor Flame Demon hesitated instantly.
Although he didn’t know the exact function of this blood-colored rib bone ring.
Yet one thing was certain, it must be related to manipulation.
Once he wore it, he could only become the other’s puppet and slave.
"Ah..." The Balor Flame Demon let out a shrill scream.
Skeleton Slayer wouldn’t waste words with him, directly exerting force with both hands, causing the Demon Wings and neck to creak.
The Balor Flame Demon wasn’t sure whether his Demon Wings or his head would be forcibly torn off first.
"I’ll wear it! I’ll wear it! I’ll wear it!" The Balor Flame Demon was now utterly helpless, catching the blood-colored rib bone ring and placing it on his head.
The moment the blood-colored rib bone ring touched his bull-headed cranium, countless blood-colored bone spurs sprouted from it, embedding deeply into it.
The Balor Flame Demon involuntarily let out another shrill scream, feeling that the blood-colored rib bone ring rooted not only on his head but also embedded into his Soul.
If he tries to betray the other, this bone ring wouldn’t just crush his skull – it might directly harvest his Soul.
Skeleton Slayer released the Balor Flame Demon while laughing sinisterly: "You’ve made a wise choice. Soon, you’ll thank me for the opportunity I granted you today. Gather your legion and slay these invaders with me."
The Balor Flame Demon, having regained freedom, instinctively touched the blood-colored rib bone ring, wishing to pry it off his head, but found it fused seamlessly with his head, as if grown onto it, with no viable way to remove it unless he shattered his skull.
