Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid - Chapter 407

When the extreme inferno rose up, the earth magician Archer followed Caesar’s instructions and quickly made a protective earth wall!

“Sixth-level magic, Rock Fortress!”

The yellow gemstone on the top of his staff shone brightly and several rock pillars shot out of the ground then in a couple of breaths, an impenetrable stone fortress enveloped everyone that was there.

When the inferno’s power finally collided with the ceiling, there was a deafening explosion! The intense impact shook the entire mine and the high temperatures melted the rock and almost splattered onto Archer’s rock fortress.

The layer of earth above the mine was thick, but even rock couldn’t withstand the inferno’s heat, so how could mere dirt stop it? And so a large hole was formed through the ceiling and in a few seconds, there was a cracking sound.

At first, it was just bits of debris, then a horrifying crack formed across the entire ceiling, and more pieces of rock and dirt fell continuously. In the end, the entire ceiling collapsed like an avalanche.

The living dead didn’t evade at all and continuously rushed towards the rock fortress like a line of ants, and in the end, all of them were completely buried under the ceiling.

Archer continuously supplied the fortress with magic power to resist the heavy pressure, when the collapse was over, everyone worked together to dig through the dirt and finally made a path out!

The tunnel to the surface wasn’t wide and they had to go one by one, just in case, Caesar went first and then everyone followed after.

Everyone was excited to see the sky again, what made them even more excited was that they saw people and torchlight not too far away!

“It’s really the rescue team!?”

Even Caesar couldn’t help but be excited.

They were standing in the center of Yellowstone’s square and they could escape as long as they join up with the rescue team.

But the cries of the living dead sounded again as numerous of them surged out from all around them!

“Quick, defensive positions!”

The rescue team was still too far and was cut off by the living dead. Some of their other members were still climbing out, so they only had a small portion of people available to fight. Even though it was so close, this was the most crucial moment!

Caesar quickly formed defensive positions around the hole so that the remaining members could climb out and join the fight.

“Ripple Sword, storm slash!”

“Caesar!!!”

Caesar heard someone calling him from far away, it sounded like Lin Xiao’s voice. That multiplied his confidence, but at the same time, he saw a huge man!

Unlike a normal living dead, he was at least two meters tall and his thick limbs were like that of a giant. Even though he only had one arm, he was able to single-handedly lift a thick tree trunk and throw it towards them.

It was just one man, he also had similar monsters holding weapons standing behind him. Their bodies didn’t look as battered as the other living dead and the festering wounds were still light.

“Caesar, be careful!”

Jerry who just climbed out of the hole took a good look and quickly warned him when he saw those monsters.

“A-aren’t those the Andrew siblings!? How did they become the living dead?”

“Andrew siblings?”

“Caesar, Andrew is a seventh-level warrior so his physical strength is very high, and along with his aura, normal attacks do nothing to him!

Those guys were much stronger than the other fragile living dead! Once they rush over, their defensive position would surely be scattered. Then they would be swarmed from all sides and it would be over! Not to mention there were still other members trapped underground.

There was no choice, Caesar had to do something!

“Ripple sword, extreme inferno slash!”

The scorching magma surged forth along with the sharp sword energy towards the enemies that lost their intellect.

Andrew and the others that lost their minds didn’t avoid that energy at all and rushed straight towards it and ended up being eaten by the inferno.

“My god… Caesar, a-aren’t you too strong?”

When the magma disappeared, Jerry noticed that the Andrew siblings were gone, along with a large portion of the living dead around them.

One strike was enough, but Caesar wasn’t satisfied at all. He used that technique twice already and needed rest, if there were any other strong enemies, then he could only rely on the others.

Caesar was also wondering what happened to those people? Andrew was a seventh-level warrior, he was strong, how did he lose an arm and become a living dead?

Could it be…

“Caesar, wake up, dodge!!!”

The familiar voice sounded again. Caesar turned and saw Lin Xiao neat the entrance of the square.

“Dodge?”

Caesar didn’t understand, he just got rid of a bunch of living dead and there were no other new enemies, why would he need to dodge?

While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a low demonic-like chant.

“Voodoo life claim!”

“What… above!?”

There was a pitch-black fog floating in the dimly lit sky that almost melded into the background, if it wasn’t for it slowly turning scarlet red after the chant, Caesar wouldn’t even have noticed it.

“Damn…”

Even though he didn’t know what black magic that was, just based on the tumbling blood-red mist, he knew that it was dangerous.

Caesar clenched his teeth and moved his energy to try and cast his ripple sword against it, but he already used it twice and the third time was too much for him. The energies in his body clashed and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Ah, you idiot! I told you to dodge, not to resist, when are you going to fix your stubbornness!?”

Lin Xiao saw Caesar spit out blood and it almost caused himself to spit out blood in anger!

“Darkness… your opponent is here, get away from that idiot!”

Lin Xiao tried shouting to attract his attention, but Darkness ignored it. He raised his hands high enduring the pain from his stomach and threw it towards the ground.

If that hit the ground, it wouldn’t just be Caesar, all his teammates would be done for!

If Caesar died, wouldn’t he have come for nothing!?

In the nick of time, Lin Xiao didn’t hide anything anymore, in order to save them, he had to get serious!

With a single snap, there was an intense humming and nearly a hundred purple balls of light shot towards them.

“Hurry! … My little bullets, stop it!”

If what darkness threw down was a blood red pillar of light, then what Lin Xiao threw out was a purple sea of stars!

Caesar looked dumbfoundedly at the bullets Lin Xiao shot at them, it seems like before they would get killed by the voodoo life claim, he was going to get killed by his ally.

Killing his ally? Lin Xiao wouldn’t do anything folly like that.

Compared to the black magic Darkness cast while he was seriously injured, Lin Xiao’s mystic bullets were still faster. It quickly reached Caesar and made a sharp turn right before hitting them and colliding with the black magic.

When they collided, the impact of the collision spread throughout the entire square! None of the living dead were able to withstand the aftermath and were all wiped out, it was also difficult for Caesar and the others to withstand it and they were all sent flying or rolling away.

“Lin Xiao… you brat, are you going against me even in the end?”

“I already told you, not just you, but also your apostle, I’m going to finish you all off, so… just die!”

Lin Xiao shouted and waved his hands and sent another wave of the gorgeous sea of stars.

“Y-you made me do this…”

As he was about to be swallowed by the mystic bullets, Darkness sighed and quietly took out a black triangular pyramid from his pocket.

“Since I can’t retrieve the black core, then… all of you just die!”
