As ti went by, the attacks from the Secondary Demons toward Yang Yu and his team not only didn't decrease but beca more frequent.
The attributes of the Secondary Demons varied greatly, but even the weakest among them possessed the strength of Quasi-S Class adventurers.
The majority of the Secondary Demons had extrely bizarre appearances.
So seed like distorted, enlarged creatures; so were stitched beasts ford from several creatures; so resembled clay dolls, hastily made by a three-year-old.
Having different forms, the Secondary Demons' thods of attack were even more varied and bizarre.
There wasn't a single effective template to deal with these demons; everyone could only rely on their adaptability to handle the swarming demons.
"[Holy Barrier]"
"[Solidified Holy Light]"
The priests erected towering walls of Holy Light, intending to halt the demons' advance.
So Secondary Demons that touched these walls of Holy Light reacted as if they had touched searing flas, hastily withdrawing their hands.
However, so Secondary Demons were completely unafraid of the Holy Light. They raised their hands, hamring punch after punch upon the priests' woven walls.
Regardless of the golden light burning their hands, those fearless Secondary Demons repeatedly swung their heavy fists, pounding against the shield, breaching the priests' Holy Light defenses.
mbers of the expeditionary team supported the priests, but the Secondary Demons moved too swiftly, grabbing several priests in their grasp, ready to devour them.
Iyas drew her bowstring, allowing a radiant Light Arrow to fly from her hands, aid at the Secondary Demons holding the priests.
The brilliant Light Arrow split mid-air, exploding the arms of two Secondary Demons.
The priests grasped by the two Secondary Demons fell to the ground, scrambling away desperately.
Yet, not every priest was fortunate enough to be saved.
One Secondary Demon opened its gaping maw and threw an unresponsive priest into it, chewing voraciously.
Not only priests, but expeditionary team mbers also fighting Secondary Demons, if careless, could be seized and sent straight into the demons' mouths, to be viciously bitten and swallowed.
Seeing their comrades, with whom they shared the days and nights, consud by demons, so shouted in rage and charged at the Secondary Demons, hoping to rescue their partners.
But not everyone had the strength to resist Secondary Demons; expeditionary mbers rushing over were easily swatted away by the demons.
Not far off, Yang Yu lent a hand, catching the mber who had been knocked away.
The situation was urgent; losing even one person added more burden on the expeditionary's shoulders.
Those who could be saved should naturally be saved.
Ensuring no disruption to the formation, Yang Yu launched ferocious attacks against the Secondary Demons that had consud humans.
However, even when toppling a Secondary Demon and slicing open its belly, Yang Yu seldom rescued any survivors.
Those consud by the Secondary Demons endured continual damage in their stomachs, being completely corroded by the demons until...
A Secondary Demon, which had devoured an expeditionary mber, inflated its cheeks and spat out the consud mber.
The Secondary Demon wasn't returning Yang Yu's comrades out of goodwill.
The expelled expeditionary mber squird to his feet, his complexion a ghastly blue, eyes vacant and body stiffened, as he lunged at nearby people, mouth agape.
The Secondary Demons had turned those they devoured into zombies!
Luckily, Holy Light had an attack bonus against Undead Race monsters.
The priests quickly organized to purify the zombies, preventing them from further exacerbating the already tense battlefield.
Apart from demons, black spiritual bodies erged from various locations throughout the city, joining the battle stealthily.
Those black spiritual bodies sotis launched surprise attacks, sotis grabbing onto the adventurers' legs, disrupting with all their might.
The personnel engaged in [Corpse Collection Coffin] sought to annihilate these ghosts swiftly, but when faced with danger, the ghosts imdiately sought shelter behind the Secondary Demons.
Dealing with the black spiritual bodies necessitated handling the Secondary Demons first, which was quite troubleso.
Scanning the surroundings, Yang Yu had yet to spot any disciples from the Curse Sect on the battlefield.
They might be participating in a demon summoning ritual or planning to act once the expeditionary team was exhausted.
Looking skyward, Yang Yu saw that Bai Jin's Magician unit wasn't faring any better.
Plenty of flying Secondary Demons perford vile and rapid attacks ti and again.
The Mage unit was overwheld and couldn't spare the effort to support Yang Yu's team.
Sotis, even when aware that the enemy was stalling for ti, there was nothing they could do about it.
Imdiately deciding, Yang Yu ordered the troops to stop advancing toward the cathedral and concentrate on the enemies at hand.
Unless the Secondary Demons were dealt with, they would be unable to advance even an inch.
The troops quickly responded to Yang Yu, bursting forth with great montum, engaging in a deadly struggle with the Secondary Demons.
As ti continued, Yang Yu fully activated the effects of [Blazing Blood] and [Fierce Battle Spirit]. Under the enhancent of the passive [Magic Resonance], Yang Yu's current strength rivaled that of a few hidden masters.
The skills and regular attacks were executed seamlessly; navigating through every danger zone, Yang Yu used his [Dark Breaking Blade] to clear all enemies before him with all his might.
After the priests' defenses collapsed, Lingshan from [Island Drifting] quickly summoned a massive water column, joining Luo Luosi to protect countless people.
Lang Yi and Luo Hasta seized the opportunity to practice the skills they learned from skill scrolls.
Lang Yi summoned a water stream avatar, directing it to a Secondary Demon with his will, using a Water Blade to block a demon's claw.
Luo Hasta, like a squid, released an inky black smoke, temporarily blinding the opponent, reducing their defenses and speed.
Jiao Xi used Holy Light skills to attack that Secondary Demon, causing significant damage.
The coordination of [Island Drifting] was comndable; with teams like [Island Drifting] in place, Yang Yu's line of defense did not collapse.
Ti once again trickled by slowly, and Yang Yu observed the sudden decrease in supporting Secondary Demons.
These Secondary Demons were remarkably similar to the black creatures Yang Yu encountered in the Elf Forest, likely summoned by sacrificing believers as offerings.
The reduction in Secondary Demons' numbers ant the Curse Sect had fewer people to sacrifice.
Not everyone should be sacrificed, though...
So powerful individuals would only sacrifice themselves if they could not overco their enemy.
Which ans...
The true test might just be beginning.
As Yang Yu was thinking this, several humble bishops and archbishops of the Curse Sect surrounded Yang Yu's team.
