What made Ignis feel even stranger was that the structure of hell was complex, and under normal circumstances, it wasn't easy to find the passage to the lower levels.
Yet sohow, the vines seed to recognize the general route and rapidly approached the lower levels.
"Don't panic, don't panic..."
There was still the Fla Demon leader and hell fire creatures on the fortieth layer, so they should be able to hold their ground, right?
Ignis quietly comforted himself and quickly retreated into the fortieth layer.
The Fla Demon leader on the fortieth layer had already perceived the tremors from the upper layers. Awakening from the lava pool, he looked toward Ignis, who had just returned from outside the cavern, eyes filled with a questioning look.
"What's going on?"
"It's the ones occupying the thirtieth layer from above. Today, they seem to have gone mad, spreading rapidly downward. The hell mother has already been cleared out by them, and the following layers definitely won't be able to stop them either," Ignis said between breaths. "Respected leader, please prepare yourselves. They'll be here soon."
"Whoosh!!!"
The fire in the Fla Demon leader's eyes flared fiercely again, releasing a strong battle will.
The lava pool inside the grotto trembled slightly as one Fla Demon after another crawled out of the lava pool, entering battle readiness.
Ignis nodded and quickly led his clan to retreat to the rear.
"Boom!!!"
After more than ten minutes, several thick vines surged in both directions from the entrance of the thirty-ninth layer passage.
Almost instantly, vast numbers of fla demons lunged toward the vines.
The entire hell fortieth layer was filled with patches of lava pools.
Dense lava serpent heads erged from the lava pools, targeting Abe Akaya's vines with lava burst projectiles.
At the sa ti, the lava churned violently, and large groups of fla demons climbed out of the lava pools, continuously attacking Abe Akaya's vines.
The Fla Demon creatures' main bodies were composed of flas, and all their attacks carried terrifying high temperatures, theoretically giving them a strong advantage over plant types.
But Abe Akaya possessed dual attributes of hell and life, giving him extrely strong fire resistance.
When the hell serpent heads' fla attacks hit the vines, the vines imdiately beca coated in hellfire, which was difficult to extinguish and caused Abe Akaya to sustain additional damage.
The vines simply endured the damage, whipping through the air with a sonic boom, using high-speed movent to extinguish the flas on themselves while sweeping strikes at the fla demons.
"Bang!! Bang bang!!"
The vines instantly detonated the flas attached to the fla demons but were unable to wrap up and drag the fla demons into the ground to fully consu them as usual.
The dispersed flas quickly condensed and reford into the fla demons.
After a brief entanglent, a second wave of Lickers flooded into the battlefield through the cavern.
Ignis and his elite Mag clan squad watched from a distance, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.
Most hell creatures avoided fighting the fla demons, since the fla demons burned with hellfire all over their bodies and had no weaknesses except at their cores. They were also completely immune to physical and fire-based effects.
Yet, the Lickers, as lee combat units, charged directly at the fla demons.
Their claws pierced through the flas surrounding the fla demons again and again.
The Lickers couldn't damage the fla demons but instead beca coated with continuously burning hellfire, looking fierce and terrifying.
Ignis silently muttered behind them.
It looked like they were holding the line.
But no!
He suddenly realized the Lickers had not suffered any casualties.
Though the Lickers appeared badly burned, the hellfire did not seem to break through their outer defenses.
The lava serpent's concentrated fla cannons exploded on the frontline Lickers.
The damage dealt to the Lickers healed rapidly within a very short ti.
Such terrifying vitality!
The Fla Demon clan was considered a top-tier force in hell, yet now they seed to be struggling.
Huh?
Ignis suddenly sensed a powerful force approaching from the front and glanced back.
That person!
The demonic seed!
Ignis had heard rumors that the jealousy demonic seed had died at the hands of another demonic seed, and that the large tree on the thirtieth layer was controlled by that seed.
Was it him?
He saw a dark golden scepter appear in the person's hand, and a dark golden reversed magic array flashed in his right pupil.
A terrifying ripple of holy power emanated from Fang Heng's body.
Golden light shone ahead!
"D*mn!"
Ignis was shocked and cursed silently in his heart.
The information was wrong.
This wasn't so hell demonic seed at all—it was clearly soone from the Holy Church!
Fang Heng waved the holy scepter forward, instantly applying a passive group effect called Thunder of Judgnt to the Licker swarm in the thick battle ahead.
Thunder of Judgnt - when attacked, has a chance to release a holy lightning strike on the attacker.
The Lickers imdiately beca enveloped in a faint, flowing dark purple light.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"
The effect was remarkable!
The passive Thunder of Judgnt triggered imdiately, sending lightning strikes that directly blasted the attackers.
The lightning was an area attack, causing large numbers of fla demons to suffer holy damage. After enduring multiple lightning strikes, their fiery cores were annihilated into ashes.
Ignis observed the fla demons rapidly collapse, feeling uncertain. He led his subordinates further back to avoid the battle shockwaves.
What exactly was going on?
Were the strange plants occupying hell controlled by the Holy Church?
It didn't seem so... those plants clearly emitted a hellish aura.
"Roar!!!"
The Fla Demon leader erged from the erupting lava pool's center. Wielding a lava hamr, he swung it forward, sweeping through a visible ring of hellfire that surged ahead in a fiery shockwave.
The fire ring devoured everything in its path, roaring as it swept forward.
A group of Lickers in front was blasted backward by the fiery shockwave.
At the sa ti, lightning flickered on the Lickers' bodies as the passive Thunder of Judgnt skill activated repeatedly.
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!"
In an instant, thousands of lightning strikes continuously hamred the Fla Demon leader.
The Fla Demon leader, built from hell flas, shook violently, and his flas dimd sowhat.
Looking up again, the Lickers that had been blasted away suddenly made a warp in midair. Burning with hellfire, they charged once more toward the lava pool's center and the Fla Demon leader.
The Fla Demon leader stiffened under the continuous lightning strikes.
An incredulous expression appeared in Ignis's eyes.
No way? Couldn't he beat them?
The Fla Demon leader struck out once, but the enemies barely reacted; instead, he looked like he was stunned by the holy lightning.
