I have an Apocalypse City-Chapter 785 - : Tusks
Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Tusks
Blood continuously spouted from the chest of the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist. The amount, already exceeding two to three times its volume, made the smooth skin of its body slowly wane in moisture and luster, matching the unparalleled age of its cheek’s skin. Even the spider body below its waist showed a color of grey decay.
However, the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist quickly pulled out its magic staff and from its waist pouch, took out a lump of black ointment and smeared it on its chest;
Song Jian knew that the creature was at its weakest, stirring a blistering urge in him. Yet, the surrounding hundreds of Wolf Spider Demons immediately cooled his enthusiasm.
Even if all of his twelve demon slaves were present, even if the Black Dragon and Stone Man Gulu both participated in the fight, he couldn’t possibly withstand the siege of hundreds of Wolf Spider Demon Bosses.
The Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist seemed very exhausted, but she still knelt down, with all of its eight spider legs curled up, its forehead pressed against the cold surface of the stone altar, and started praying in a low voice;
All of the Wolf Spider Demons also knelt down simultaneously, with their six spider legs curled, their heads resting on the ritualistic altar steps, murmuring prayers with the Ritualist in the Abyssal language;
After a long while, the black flames gradually shrank, as though they were being absorbed by the Demon Lord’s fang, which slowly faded like a phantom before disappearing into the void.
At this point, the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist finally heaved a sigh of relief, slowly getting up, assisted by two Wolf Spider Demons. She began to venture down the altar steps, leaving the impression that their blood sacrifice had been completed.
All of the surrounding Wolf Spider Demons respectfully lowered their heads, facing the Ritualist, and waited for her to descend the altar.
Half an hour later, the Wolf Spider Demons surrounding the altar had departed, leaving only a dozen or so Wolf Spider Demon guards patrolling around, watching over the towering altar.
Song Jian was aware that even with many fewer Wolf Spider Demon Bosses here, he still couldn’t fight without drawing the attention of other Wolf Spider Demons, perhaps even that of the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist.
Song Jian, now in stealth mode, carefully avoided the surrounding Wolf Spider Demon Bosses and slowly headed towards the altar. One of the Wolf Spider Demon Bosses bumped into him, seemed to sense something, emitted a low growl from its throat, and stopped in its tracks. It gazed around with a confused expression, but it was not capable of detecting Song Jian’s presence and after a while, this Wolf Spider Demon slowly drifted away.
Despite this, Song Jian was perspiring cold sweat. This must be the place of most concern for the Wolf Spider Demons, seemingly lightly defended, but once an enemy is spotted, by just guarding the entrance, the Wolf Spider Demons could render the enemy unable to escape even if they had wings;
Song Jian climbed onto the altar and stood before the altar’s bonfire, which had once again resumed burning with red flames. It was then that he discovered that the bonfire was not ordinary, burning not regular firewood but the bones of some enormous abyssal creature.
As Song Jian stood before the bonfire, he did not detect anything unusual. He couldn’t summon the black Abyssal Demon Flame either. Without the Abyssal Demon Flame, the Demon Lord’s fang would not appear.
Song Jian glanced at the dozen or so Wolf Spider Demons below the altar, his brows furrowing. He could sense that as he approached the massive bonfire, the Book of the Abyss in his body started to stir.
If he were to bring out the Book of the Abyss, it would surely draw forth the Abyssal Demon Flame here, but that might alarm the surrounding creatures.
With this thought, Song Jian suddenly had an idea. He still had twelve demon slaves waiting outside. If these were to attack, they would likely draw the attention of most of the Wolf Spider Demon Bosses. If it could distract the Wolf Spider Demon Ritualist as well, then the difficulty of this mission would be significantly reduced!
With this in mind, Song Jian ordered his twelve demon slaves who had been guarding outside to rush into the underground cave where the wolf spider demon altar was located.
Soon, Song Jian could feel his demon slaves’ vitality points were decreasing, and they had entered a combat state. Then, he heard an enraged roar from the distance.
“Subordinates of the Fifth Demon Lord, have you lost your minds? You dare to attack the Sixth Demon Lord’s resurrection altar!” The raspy voice of the wolf spider demon ritualist echoed with suppressed rage.

Song Jian could hear almost all the wolf spider demons roar with anger, and they followed the wolf spider demon ritualist, charging at the demon slaves who invaded their territory.
Among the demon slaves Song Jian had recruited were three fallen angels and the rest were great demons, which led the wolf spider demon ritualist to mistakenly think that it was they trying to hinder the resurrection of the Sixth Demon Lord. Therefore, he summoned all the wolf spider demons, unaware that the only invaders were the twelve abyssal demons before him.
The wolf spider demons guarding the underground altar also started to stir, and even five or six of them rushed out of the cave.
Even those who did not rush out moved toward the mouth of the cave, intending to take advantage of the terrain to guard the underground cave.
Seeing the wolf spider demons had left the altar, Song Jian immediately took out the Book of the Abyss.
Boom!
The surface of the Book of the Abyss suddenly erupted with black flames which served as a catalyst. The massive bonfire in front of Song Jian instantly turned from scarlet to black.
Streams of black flames seemed to surge towards the Book of the Abyss, and a fang over a foot long slowly emerged from the void.
Song Jian stepped forward and grabbed the protruding fang. A searing sound rang out and Song Jian felt a throbbing pain in his palm. A puff of white smoke rose from his palm, as if something had taken a bite out of it.
This unexpected event took Song Jian by surprise. An 800-plus damage value floated above his head, and his stealth status was immediately broken, gradually revealing his figure!
