Chapter 106: Slaying the Forest King, Gaining a Demon Core

The two were simply not on the same level at all.

More and more Crow Warriors swooped in, launching a relentless assault on the Forest King. The Crow Mages unleashed a barrage of spells; all manner of magical forces exploded against the Forest King's body. Flames erupted into a blazing inferno. Bolts of lightning crashed down, ice enshrouded the Forest King, and gales as sharp as blades tore across his form.

The Forest King let out a furious roar, a massive greatsword manifesting in his grasp. With a sweeping swing, dozens of Crow Warriors were sent flying, crashing into nearby houses and bringing them tumbling down.

“Amazing!”

Yang Feng had no idea how the other teams dealt with this Forest King. The Forest King’s strength was overwhelming—those warriors could never hold out for long against him.

Raising his palm, Yang Feng cast a gray light that fell upon the Forest King. A curse sigil appeared on the Forest King’s body, instantly slowing him down. The pressure on the Crow Warriors lessened immediately.

Sensing his sluggishness, the Forest King threw his head back in a wrathful howl.

Skill: Invincible Lion’s Roar!

A terrifying shockwave swept out in all directions. A swath of buildings collapsed beneath its force.

Yang Feng was caught in the blast; his Armor of Light lasted only a few seconds before shattering completely. Quick to react, he ducked behind the Crow Mages and donned a fresh Armor of Light.

The Crow Warriors were hurled through the air by the shockwave. At that moment, the Forest King sprang high into the air, lunging straight for Yang Feng.

Skill: Furious Strike!

Seeing this, Yang Feng’s expression changed. If he was hit, even if he survived, he would surely be badly wounded. Though he could transfer the damage to his Crow Warriors and Crow Mages, they would suffer grievously.

The Crow Mage beside him acted swiftly, stepping in front of Yang Feng.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, the Forest King’s blow struck the ground, gouging a massive pit and sending the Crow Mage flying. Though all the Crow Mages were injured, their wounds were not critical.

Though their defense was lower than that of the Crow Warriors, they still boasted 5,000 points of defense—enough to avoid being slain outright by the Forest King.

Having dodged this calamity, Yang Feng summoned flames in his palm and hurled a fireball at the Forest King.

Skill: Fireball!

The Forest King’s agonized scream shook the entire city.

Even a lord-level boss could not withstand such a fearsome attack.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Feng retreated further, widening the gap between himself and the Forest King.

The Crow Warriors surged back in, locking once more into fierce battle with their foe. If not for the Forest King’s formidable skills, a hundred Crow Warriors and Yang Feng’s curse would be enough to grind him down eventually.

But the Forest King’s abilities were simply too powerful, especially with their concussive effects, which posed a real problem for the Crow Warriors and Crow Mages.

Yang Feng ordered the Crow Mages to spread out and attack from all sides. No matter how the Forest King struck back, he could not escape their spells.

The Forest King swung his greatsword furiously, hacking away. Under the curse, his speed was halved, greatly reducing the danger to the Crow Warriors.

Spell after spell from the Crow Mages landed upon the Forest King. Sensing the peril he was in, the Forest King suddenly roared, whirling his sword. A violent wind rose, flinging the Crow Warriors away once again.

“So troublesome,” Yang Feng muttered in displeasure.

Still, if the Forest King were so easy to kill, he would not deserve to be a lord-level boss.

No matter how the other teams managed it, Yang Feng’s method was simple and direct—pure, overwhelming force.

The Crow Warriors did not immediately attack again, as the Forest King’s skill was still active. Tornadoes erupted around him, hurling houses skyward. These tornadoes shielded him from most spells.

As the Forest King continued his onslaught, the tornadoes multiplied, growing ever more powerful.

Suddenly, all the tornadoes swept outward in a devastating surge. Wherever they passed, the earth looked as if it had been flattened, and countless houses were utterly destroyed.

A few Crow Warriors failed to evade in time and were struck by the tornadoes.

Their bones cracked and splintered, sounding as if they might shatter at any moment. Yang Feng sensed that these Crow Warriors had been grievously wounded in an instant.

He immediately recalled them to his pet space.

He had not expected the Forest King’s skill to be so devastating, leaving even the Crow Warriors badly injured.

Flames kindled in Yang Feng’s palm again; he launched fireball after fireball at the Forest King.

Yet amidst the onslaught, the Forest King seemed unfazed—until his skill ended, and then all the accumulated damage erupted at once.

His earth-shattering screams echoed throughout the city.

The Crow Warriors, seemingly indestructible, charged in once more, with the Crow Mages’ spells following close behind.

“Skills!”

At Yang Feng’s command, all the Crow Warriors glowed with crimson light.

Skill: Arrow of Feathers!

Arrows rained down, rending the Forest King’s flesh and splattering blood everywhere.

The Arrow of Feathers barrage did not cease, arrow after arrow piercing the Forest King. The Crow Mages’ spells grew ever fiercer.

The Forest King tried to retaliate, but his efforts were in vain.

He unleashed his skills again, but with his earlier experience, Yang Feng now knew how to dodge, never giving the Forest King another chance.

The battle raged for over half an hour before the Forest King finally collapsed.
