The Witcher: Elemental Lords

In the vast and endless sky above the forest, a large force moved slowly forward as a unified whole. Beneath the blue sky, they resembled a black cloud, moving in a certain direction.

On the other side, were the Demon Beasts, fewer in number than the humans, but with no less imposing presence. The humans deliberately kept their distance from the Demon Beasts, while the Demon Beasts intentionally approached the humans, creating a very delicate balance.

At this moment, within the Demon Beast ranks, a Demon Beast who had taken human form with horns on his head, stared ahead with a gloomy expression.

“Heart Demons are our race’s greatest enemy, especially when facing a Lord of Desire. This time, we're likely to die. Before I die, I must drag some humans down with me.”

“Don't say that. If the humans' large-scale alchemical weapons are powerful enough to severely injure the Lord of Desire, we'll have a good chance.”

“This world is vast and full of good things, I don’t want to die.”

“Exactly, exactly.”

The horned Demon Beast snorted coldly, “Who among you can control your desires? With just a thought from the Lord of Desire, you’ll die. Besides Seventh Rank, who can resist? Don’t think too much, stay far away later and let the humans fight first.”

After the Demon Beast finished speaking, silence fell. The Lord of Desire's suppression was too strong for them, a tremor coming from their bloodline. In their hearts, they didn't want to be enemies with him at all. But that was a Heart Demon; regardless of who you are, whether you’re a Demon Beast or not, you will be controlled if you encounter one, and being controlled is the same as death.

They didn't want to die just yet, so they could only join forces with the humans to fight against the Lord of Desire.

Eighth Rank Heart Demons, based on their abilities, are called Lords of something, and when they reach Ninth Rank, they are called Demon Lords of something. Their strength increases dramatically. With a single thought, Sixth and Seventh Rank characters around them would die in droves. Although Eighth Rank isn't that terrifying, dealing with Fourth and Fifth Rank characters is extremely easy. This was a deep-seated memory from their Demon Beast heritage, and there was no room for falsehood. Therefore, to survive, they had to work with the humans to deal with this Lord of Desire who might advance to Demon Lord.

From the current situation, it seemed that this one was cultivating the most powerful Path of Desire, which was extremely domineering.

…

Dore and Aisi, riding on a wooden bird, flew along the edge of the crowd, very inconspicuous. Both of their auras were also hidden, becoming unremarkable.

At this time, anyone who dared to claim how awesome they were would definitely be the first to be dragged out as cannon fodder. They didn't have that awareness.

“Dore, what do we do later?”

“First, we'll entangle with the demons for a bit, and when they really start fighting, we'll stir the muddy waters.” Dore's strength had increased, and Aisi's bloodline power had also improved, but they didn't have the courage to fight against a suspected Eighth Rank Lord of Desire. Even if they considered themselves to be outstanding among humans, facing a Lord of Desire three major ranks above them was like a moth flying into the sun, with absolutely no chance of survival.

The people from Ying Country and Lai Country didn't expose their identities, and the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Aisi looked around, surrounded by people, densely packed.

When people number in the tens of thousands, it's a sea of people, especially in the sky, densely packed, plus all kinds of flying alchemical equipment, plus the major behemoths of various organizations. Just looking at the numbers, it completely crushed everything.

And in the more distant sky, one could also see many demons flying around, warily watching the situation here.

…

Shangfeng Outpost.

The Lord of Desire frowned. He had tried his best to reduce the number of outsiders, but he didn't expect the news to leak out in advance, and they had gathered so many people, as well as a full dozen large strategic weapons.

He felt that he might have been a little hasty. The levels of these forces weren't great, the highest being only Seventh Rank Peak, still one rank below him, and more were those Third, Fourth, and Fifth Rank small fries. Under normal circumstances, if he could use his full power, then a single thought would kill a whole area. But now, he deeply frowned.

How did the news leak out, and why did they suddenly unite, and even have some methods targeting him? This clearly didn't fit the people of a great world that hadn't been invaded by demons before?

As for those monsters, although they recognized him, they couldn't have recognized the situation so quickly.

He was still wondering, where exactly did the problem lie?

That old guy Shangfeng still didn't know what was going on, but once the fighting started, he might not be able to take care of him. It seemed that his breakthrough to Ninth Rank would still rely on those people outside. As long as he ate enough, breaking through shouldn't be difficult.

As the Lord of Desire, a fire of desire burned fiercely in his heart.

Success or failure depended on this one move. Either he became the Demon Lord of Desire and occupied this world, or he would be beaten back to his original form. Whether he succeeded or not depended on this one battle.

…

Above the several giant ships of Ying Country.

Dozens of thoughts exchanged frequently.

Ying Country's strength wasn't considered strong, and even one could say, it wasn't much different from the extremely large overseas countries. When discussing matters, they were treated as equals, only with different individual temperaments.

“If you ask me, when we meet, without saying a word, we should just start blasting.”

“I think so too. Although the Lord of Desire is a purely mental existence, energy and spirit are inseparable. We should directly blast and kill him, and wear down his mental power. If Lord Shangfeng can sense it, and we cooperate from the inside and outside, maybe we can free Lord Shangfeng.”

“I also agree to start blasting directly.”

Everyone said a word, I said a word, and all disagreed with resolving the dispute through negotiation. Demons and humans were inherently opposed, and there was no possibility of coexistence. Unlike monsters, demons were the great enemy of all living beings.

The people from Ying Country and Lai Country exchanged glances, and then made up their minds.

“I also agree, then let's just start blasting directly. I remember that Peng Country has a Great Light Wizard Cannon. When the time comes, you start first and see how the demons react to various attributes, and then make other arrangements.”

“Yes, our Immortal Mansion Country's Purple Lightning Cannon will assist from the side. Demons fear the Light and Lightning elements the most.”

“Right, right, let's try it from a distance first.”

…

Almost quickly, it was unified. First, directly bombard and kill from a distance, and then see if they could rescue Lord Shangfeng. As long as Lord Shangfeng got free, then an Eighth Rank and several other Seventh Ranks could assist together. Cleaning up a Lord of Desire was not particularly easy, but as long as they bombarded and killed his main body, it would be fine.

“First bombard one side, and then have those rogue cultivators go to the front lines to consume the number of demons. In short, this battle can only be won, not lost.”

Failure meant death, there was nothing to say. Soon, layers of orders were directly issued, and finally fell into the ears of Dore and the two.

After Dore heard the news, he also had some understanding of the determination of the several countries. These people were really afraid. He just didn't know how many of these people had already defected to the Demon Race, and how many would betray them when the fighting really started.
