Chapter 295: Battle on the Styx
Noshier put away his feelings and put all his heart and soul on the road. As expected, he encountered a group of small demons that covered the sky and the sun three hours after he set off, forcing him to fall from the air and take the river instead.
Fortunately, the manta ray cloak did not disappoint Noshier. The isolation bubbles generated by this magic equipment can indeed perfectly block the water of the Styx. The unique design and characteristics of the cloak can also take him and Xiaobu to the destination at a very fast speed.
The only flaw is that the corrosive ability of the water of the Styx is somewhat beyond his expectations. Even if he only moves on the surface of the river, the magic bubbles generated by the cloak can only last for half an hour at most. After half an hour, the bubbles will be directly corroded and collapsed. If the magic power of the cloak is exhausted, he must wait until 24 hours before he can continue to use the cloak.
Noshier must reasonably allocate and use the remaining magic power in the cloak so that he will not be unable to leave by diving into the water after encountering dangerous situations. Although he can now transform into a nightmare and escape into the etheric plane, due to the unique characteristics of the etheric plane, he cannot stay in it for a long time.
Therefore, in the following journey, Noshier spent most of his time in flight. He would only choose to jump into the Styx or escape directly into the etheric plane when he encountered dangers that could not be solved in a short time.
This way of traveling allowed him to easily avoid a lot of troubles that could not be solved in a short time. When he encountered evil demons that he could solve, Noshier would not hesitate to go over and give a few moves to try out his new tricks. In this way, he arrived at the first destination, Stygia City, without any danger along the way, and it only took 12 hours.
However, when Noshier came to the vicinity of Stygia City, sneaked up from the water, and then found an opportunity to sneak into the city, a violent explosion suddenly came into his ears.
"It seems that it is not very peaceful here."
Noshir quietly floated a head from the distant waters, and then looked at the battlefield with continuous artillery fire in the distance. According to the information in the mind of the hunter demon, the location of the portal chosen by the demon invasion this time is about 100 miles away from here. This distance is not too far compared to the scale of the entire hell, but it is definitely not close. It is indeed a bit beyond Noshir's expectation that the demons can fight here, but it is not impossible to think about it carefully.
When the demons invade hell, the offensive in the first few months is often the most fierce. Under the leadership of the demon lord, all kinds of demons will rush out of the pre-opened portals in various places like a tsunami. In this case, the demons can often rush to a very far place. At this time, the specific time of the invasion of the abyss demons has not exceeded half a month, which is when the demons are most powerful.
So Noshiel saw this scene in front of him. The devils used their amphibious ironclad ships to smash the tattered rafts built by the devils with bones, scrap iron and highly corrosion-resistant hell trees, causing them to wail and fall into the Styx. In the end, they were corroded by the river water until there was not even a bone left. The artillery units on the shore were also frantically pouring ammunition on the demons on the shore and on the water. The situation seemed precarious for the demons, but the demons were not without a way to fight back.
Those truly powerful high-level demons had long since escaped from the situation of staying on the river and passively taking a beating. They had already rushed to the shore in advance through various methods to launch a counterattack. Noshiel saw with his own eyes a six-armed snake demon waving six relatively slender giant swords and rushing into the devil's battle formation, then waving the weapons in his hands like a whistling hurricane, frantically slaughtering the artillery units on the shore, and constantly wandering towards the depths of the legion, with almost no enemies wherever they passed.
On the water battlefield, many demons that looked like snakes and lizards but had two claws suddenly appeared on the demon side. These demons suddenly jumped out of the Styx, and their bodies were surrounded by water columns composed of the Styx water. The water seemed to be controlled by the demons, and carried these demons to the demon's armored ship.
Under the flushing of the Styx water, the demons on the deck not only suffered slight corrosion damage, but also had most of their memories washed away in an instant, becoming extremely confused, and the demons took this opportunity to slaughter the demons.
Their actions were extremely violent. With a pair of strong claws and a mouthful of sharp fangs, any demon they pounced on would be torn into rotten meat in an instant, and this sudden and surging offensive also made the demons confused and suffered heavy losses in an instant.
Although the demons quickly regained their discipline under the strong orders of the commanders of each team, the previous wave of attacks was too sudden. Noshier even saw a demon's ironclad ship being overturned by the turbulent waves brought by the demons and completely sunk into the Styx.
"What kind of demon is this? There are creatures in the world that can survive in the Styx?"
Noshier was surprised that there were aquatic species in the magical river of the Styx, which had the function of corrosiveness and memory erasure. However, no matter how much he didn't believe it, he had already seen the existence of these demons with his own eyes. Based on what he saw before his eyes, these demons were undoubtedly immune to the negative effects of the water of the Styx.
Noshil immediately flipped through the monster knowledge in his mind and recognized that this was a demon called the Water Eel Demon. This demon was a very special amphibious demon. In order to adapt to the harsh water environment of the lower plane, they not only evolved the ability to be immune to the negative effects of the Styx Water, but also possessed extraordinary corrosion resistance and poison resistance, and these passive abilities were not their best skills.
Their most powerful feature is that their bodies can secrete deadly venom all over their bodies. These venoms can pollute a large area of water sources, and combined with their spell-like abilities to control the water around them, these characteristics make them extremely deadly no matter what kind of water they are in.
But just when Noshil thought that the demons were about to win a great victory and those devil warships were going to suffer a great loss, he saw a large group of evil demons wielding spears or tridents, like toad men, suddenly rushed out of the devil's warships and firmly suppressed those water eels in a short time.
Noshier saw with his own eyes that these toad people displayed abilities similar to those of the water eel demons, controlling water, avoiding the negative effects of the water of the Styx, and fighting in an amphibious manner. Moreover, what made them much stronger than those brainless demons was that this group of evil demons knew how to fight in coordination.
