SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Frenzied Slaughter! Zhou Yi! A One-Man Army!

TL: YYang

Zhou Yi’s plan was to draw the aggro of half the Flame Demon legion to alleviate the battle pressure on Su Qinglian and the others.

Of course, as a Saint Knight, and one whose buffs were all maximized and radiating Holy Light, he was undoubtedly the most hated target for the demons. Without any taunting skills, the Flame Demons would naturally target Zhou Yi first.

However, that wasn’t enough…

At most, he could only attract the attention of thirty or forty Flame Demons.

Therefore, as he took the lead and shot forward, Zhou Yi unleashed another skill.

“Holy Light Cross!!”

Boom—

A bright golden light suddenly burst from his tall figure.

The scorching and bright light was like a small sun, impossible to look at directly!!

The golden, scorching light continuously gathered.

Finally, behind Zhou Yi, it condensed into a massive golden cross formed of light!

At the edges of this golden cross, brilliant golden flames burned wildly, seemingly never to be extinguished.

Holy Light Cross!

This B-Rank group attack skill exclusive to Saint Knights had reached LV7 under Zhou Yi’s skill allocation!!

The casting range had also reached a terrifying 200 meters!!

This meant that any enemy within Zhou Yi’s 200-meter range would continuously suffer light-attribute magical damage!!

“Roar!!”

The fierce and imposing Flame Demon legion quickly charged over.

Seeing a human tainted with the detestable aura of Holy Light daring to stand alone before their army, they were instantly enraged!

They quickened their pace and rushed directly into Zhou Yi’s 200-meter range!

Boom!!!

Flames! Blinding bright flames!

Under the effect of the Holy Light Cross, Holy Light flames suddenly ignited on every Flame Demon that stepped within Zhou Yi’s 200-meter range!!

Flame Demons were naturally able to control fire and had extremely high resistance to fire-attribute damage.

Coupled with the armor formed by their extended skin, flames theoretically shouldn’t harm them.

However, these flames were not ordinary flames but were condensed from Holy Light!!

[Wherever the Holy Light shines, all darkness will perish. Holy Light Cross deals multiplied damage to dark-attribute enemies!!]

According to the skill description of Holy Light Cross, it had a powerful damage bonus effect on demons, a dark-attribute race!

The outcome of such flames burning on demons was predictable.

“Ugh!!!”

“Roar!!!”

“……”

A multitude of Flame Demons emitted cries of agony, and in just a few seconds, lower-level Flame Demons were burned to ashes.

Those of higher levels, capable of enduring the flame damage longer, howled and cursed in demonic tongue.

The sudden Holy Light flames inflicted tons of damage on the leading Flame Demons.

In an instant, as many as seven or eight Flame Demons perished in the flames!

This caused chaos in the entire demon legion’s formation!!

The demon legion’s formation was such that the knights who absorbed the most damage were at the front, followed by the Flame Demon warriors.

The ones hiding at the back were the Flame Demon race’s spell-casting demons.

The Holy Light flames quickly drew the attention of the demon mages at the rear.

After a strange demonic incantation, the entire Flame Demon legion was shrouded in a layer of black, dark-attribute energy.

This significantly reduced the damage from Zhou Yi’s Holy Light Cross.

“Roar!!”

Although the damage was reduced, the Holy Light flames still clung to the Flame Demons, continuously causing them pain.

As a result, the Flame Demons charged at Zhou Yi even more frantically!

“Compared to magical beasts, demons indeed have a much wider range of tactics.”

“Just like dealing with human professional teams, more counterattack strategies need to be considered.”

Zhou Yi didn’t expect this group skill to inflict massive damage on these demons.

Drawing aggro and killing seven or eight demons was quite satisfactory.

Next…

Seeing the Flame Demons rapidly approaching, only about 50 meters away.

Zhou Yi’s eyes sharpened, and the magic within him surged:

“Holy Storm!!”

Boom!!

A surging Holy Light quickly condensed into a massive Holy Storm at the center of the Flame Demon legion!!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The howling storm, over ten meters high, swept in grass, soil, and the Flame Demons into its midst!!

Amidst the fragrant earth, nearly twenty Flame Demons were swept in!!

In the storm, the Holy Light flashed continuously.

In an instant, five or six Flame Demons exploded under the baptism of the Holy Light.

Seeing this, the nearby Flame Demons hurriedly evaded.

For a moment, the center of the entire demon legion was cleared by this one skill!!

“Roar!!”

Although the Holy Storm killed many central Flame Demons, the frontline Flame Demon knights were unaffected and approached!!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!……

One by one, the Flame Demons, eyes filled with endless rage towards Zhou Yi, brandished their weapons, leaping or charging headlong to attack Zhou Yi!!

In an instant, the approaching Flame Demons surrounded Zhou Yi!!

An ordinary level 16 professional would find themselves in a nearly certain-death situation when surrounded like this!

Unfortunately, Zhou Yi was no ordinary professional.

“Air Slash!”

He swung the massive 80-kilogram warhammer, instantly entering an invincible state!!

Bang!!

A level 21 Flame Demon knight in front of him was instantly knocked into the air, entering a floating state.

At the same time, he also created space for himself to advance!

“Tiger Assault!”

Grabbing the floating Flame Demon knight, he instantly used another invincible skill!!

He surged forward more than five or six meters!!

But there were seventy or eighty Flame Demon knights surrounding him!!

Even advancing five or six meters, he was still within the Flame Demon legion.

As Zhou Yi just surged forward, the surrounding Flame Demon knights’ attacks followed!

Whoosh!!

It was a pitch-black, fierce battle saber wreathed in flames, aiming for Zhou Yi’s neck, slicing through the air with a sharp sound, slashing towards him!!

If this strike hit, it would definitely be a one-hit kill!!

Block!!

However, before it could even approach Zhou Yi’s body, the saber was firmly blocked by a golden light shield surrounding Zhou Yi’s body.

It emitted a massive reverberating sound!

Holy Light Guardian!!

This B+ level skill had already been used by Zhou Yi!!

During the duration of Holy Light Guardian, he was immune to all physical damage!!

Naturally, the saber’s slashing damage was included!!

“Courting death!!” Zhou Yi’s gaze sharpened.

Swinging the Mystic Light Warhammer blessed by Weapon Blessing, he smashed it flat and sent it flying!!

“Flame Demons have larger physiques, much stronger than ordinary humans.

With such large bodies, only four or five demons can attack me simultaneously.”

“Plus, with Holy Light Guardian granting immunity to physical damage, I only need to be cautious of the flames on their weapons.”

“Even if I accidentally take fire damage, the Slow Healing effect will allow me to recover quickly.”

“Among these Flame Demons, the greatest threat to me should be the demon mages.”

Zhou Yi’s gaze was cold and composed.

He knew very well that to annihilate all these Flame Demons, he must first eliminate the Flame Demon mages at the rear!

Breaking through the encirclement of these Flame Demons would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task!

“Alright! Let’s begin!”

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yi, radiating holy brilliance, wielded the Mystic Light Warhammer like a bulldozer.

He continuously used skills to either kill or smash away the encroaching Flame Demons.

His steps were slow but resolute, advancing towards the rear of the legion!!

Of course, during this process, the Flame Demon mages at the back were frantically casting spells like fireballs and rockets, attempting to kill Zhou Yi from a distance.

The aftermath of the spells even accidentally injured some of the surrounding Flame Demons!!

However, with Zhou Yi’s swift movements, these spells never reached a fatal level.

And under the effects of Slow Healing, the damage he took was quickly recovering.

……

“This……”

“Zhou Yi is just too fierce?!”

“Is this level 16? I’d believe it if you told me he was a level 30 second-transfer Saint Knight!!”

“That’s unbelievable!”

“……”

From the moment Zhou Yi charged out to advancing within the Flame Demon legion, the whole process seemed long, but in reality, it took less than ten seconds.

And from the rear, watching the tall figure bearing the Holy Light Cross, advancing like a deity within the Flame Demon legion, Su Qinglian and the others couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Although he had assisted them when they encountered the Flame Demon squad while emerging from the jungle area, the time was brief, so they had never witnessed Zhou Yi’s full strength.

Now that they saw…

That dazzling Holy Light Cross, the terrifying Holy Storm.

Any one of those skills could deal massive damage!!

And the scene of Zhou Yi’s powerful advance within the Flame Demon legion was deeply etched into everyone’s minds.

It was astonishing.

After all, achieving such an advancing effect required not only a robust physique but also a strong combat awareness!!

One misstep could lead to a fall!

“So… this is your full strength.”

Jiang Churan’s beautiful purple eyes were filled with shock.

Now she truly realized the vast gap between herself and Zhou Yi!

Even if she used all her Succubus Power, it was far beyond reach!!

Such strength was on a completely different level compared to other new students at Jiang University!

“It feels like Brother Zhou could kill all the Flame Demons by himself without our help……”

The captain of the Giant Eagle Squad, Sun Hao, fully armored, finally understood why Zhou Yi suggested this plan.

This wasn’t just one person attracting half the firepower!!

Now, the entire Flame Demon legion’s firepower was focused on Zhou Yi!

The entire legion was thrown into chaos because of this!!

Unable to advance even a single step further!!

One could say that the pressure Zhou Yi brought alone was comparable to an entire legion!!
