Chapter 184 Teamwork (Part 2)

The five of them, Rocks and his companions, looked at the demon king’s figure before them. The demon king also became cautious, finding it a disgrace that these humans could make him so disheveled. However, he needed to test them.

He then extended his arm, and as his palm opened, a terrifying vortex of air instantly gathered within it. A ball of light shot out with a loud bang. Before them, a wall of earth materialized at their feet, serving as a shield.

The ball of light struck the earthen shield with no effect whatsoever. The earth element was primarily for defense, possessing formidable resilience. Moreover, with the five of them acting as one, their power was significantly amplified.

Rocks’ gaze shifted, and countless golden light needles suddenly burst forth from Wang Chen’s feet on the left, hurtling towards the demon king.

The demon king was stunned by this, thinking, *These fellows truly have many tricks up their sleeves!*

He then spread his wings, enveloping himself. A black, luminous shell formed around him. The golden light needles struck it, only producing faint sounds. Rocks paid them no mind. Instead, from within the magic array, a fiery red beam shot towards the heavens, followed by a massive curtain of flames descending from the sky, engulfing the demon king.

The Fire Array, meant for incineration, possessed the power to burn everything. The terrifying heat swept across the entire sky. Instantly, a black blade of light emerged from the fiery curtain, slicing it in two. The demon king then appeared before them, unharmed.

Rocks’ brow furrowed. They had already employed some of their tactics, yet the opponent remained unscathed. It was incredible; this defense was truly heaven-defying!

Rocks and the other four exchanged nods, then looked at the demon king. Just as they were about to move, the demon king took a step forward, instantly appearing before Rocks. With a mocking tone, he said, "If my observations are correct, the weakness of this Five Elements Magic Array is you."

"The reason they can switch between offense and defense is due to your mental connection. If you are killed, this formation will collapse!"

With that, the demon king extended his black, furry claw directly towards Rocks. Rocks remained unfazed. Numerous vines emerged from beneath his feet, and a massive earthen wall materialized before him. Countless vines intertwined and spread across the wall. The vines burrowed into the earth, and the wall, seemingly solid, now appeared to have texture. The demon king’s claw strike hit the earthen wall with a cracking sound, only creating an indentation. The demon king was astonished. *How is this possible? I used half my strength, and according to my observations, their defense should not be able to withstand my power.*

Indeed, given the strength of the previous earthen wall, it would not have been able to withstand this punch. But one must not forget that this wall was now infused with vines. The wood element, associated with healing and endless vitality, imbued the earthen wall with self-repairing capabilities. As long as it wasn't instantly shattered, it could endure the attack.

Rocks then declared, "Attack!"

Immediately, countless fireballs and water balls shot forth from beneath their feet towards the sky, descending in tandem. Hundreds of fireballs and water balls directly targeted the demon king. The demon king, seeing this, was stunned. *Damn it, I've fallen into their trap!*

He then spread his wings and ascended into the sky towards the fireballs and water balls, roaring. Terrifying sonic waves rippled outwards, colliding with the projectiles, the sounds of explosions echoing throughout the sky. Rocks’ will flickered.

Instantly, golden radiance appeared within the magic array, soaring towards the heavens. This golden beam was formed by a dense convergence of countless golden light pillars, its target being the demon king.

The demon king, seeing the golden beam approaching from below, flapped his wings and spun his body. A massive wave of blade energy shot out, the wing blades directly confronting the golden light pillars. However, upon collision, countless indentations appeared, like cheese, pitted and uneven, before dissipating.

The gold element represented lethality, and during an offense, it could ignore defense and attack with a certain probability.

This was the characteristic of the Gold Array. The Five Elements Array could be considered their last trump card, usable only twice. After this use, only one chance remained. However, precisely because of its rarity, it was so powerful.

Previously, they had refrained from using it to withstand the Gluttonous One. Now that they had recovered, they would reclaim human cities with their own hands!

The demon king, watching the golden light needles and pillars approach, stood amidst them, his body gradually bearing indentations under the onslaught of the needles. Rocks’ mind flickered, and with a thought, he acted.

Instantly, a cage formed from water and earth elements appeared before the demon king, encasing him.

A resounding explosion echoed. The golden pillars, azure water balls, and yellow earth fragments exploded. A figure then appeared before them, much to their disbelief.

*To withstand this attack and still be unharmed! Just how terrifying is this fellow?*

The demon king spoke calmly, "You can be proud to have forced me to use my demonic spirit's origin."

Rocks looked at the demon king before him, whose aura had become even more potent. Rocks’ eyes flickered, and the other four understood his intention, moving in unison.

Furious torrents of water, dazzling light needles, crumbling earth, verdant vines, and blazing flames instantly erupted from beneath and behind the five of them. The raging waters then formed a colossal tsunami, surging towards the demon king.

Wave after wave, as if a river had breached its banks, the demon king impatiently swiped his claws, tearing through the water curtain. Simultaneously, dazzling light needles, hidden within the water flow, enveloped the demon king and shot towards him.

The demon king's entire body erupted in black radiance. This time, countless light needles struck his body, only producing sparks and sounds. His defense had significantly increased compared to before.

Meanwhile, crumbling earth chunks continuously converged, growing larger and larger in the sky, falling like meteorites towards the demon king.

Seeing this, the demon king instantly spread his wings, opened his mouth, and shot out a black beam. The meteorites exploded, but at the moment of their detonation, blazing flames, intertwined with vines, surged towards him, as if trying to ensnare him.

But the demon king would not fall prey to such tactics. Sharp spikes grew from his arms, and with a swift movement of his arms, a myriad of vines were severed with a swishing sound.

The demon king looked at the five of them with disdain, "Do you have any more tricks? If not, I won't play with you anymore. It's time to end this!"

Rocks retorted, "Yes, but I fear the remaining tricks are something you cannot withstand. Attack!"

With a shout, five different colored lights appeared on the bodies of the five individuals, and simultaneously, the magic array also radiated brilliance.
