Chapter 482: Battle of Giant Beasts, Flying Dragon and Flower Snake
On his way through the abandoned church toward the canyon, Nero stumbled upon a detail.

"Li You, look over there."

Li You looked in the direction he pointed, and saw an assault demon soldier parasitized by Chimera seeds lying quietly on the side of the road.

But unlike what he had seen before, although the parasitic assault demon soldier was lying there motionless, its appearance had been completely changed.

The body, which originally had the posture of a lizard, turned into a lifeless color like a tree, and the chimera seeds that were parasitic on its body grew particularly vigorously and had become a lush small tree.

Li You was also surprised: "This is..."

Nero was brave enough to go forward and touch it, and found that the skin of the lizard felt very similar to tree bark, and the chimera seeds on top were not much different from plants.

He thought thoughtfully: "It seems that these chimera seeds are more than just parasites!"

Nero broke off a piece of bark from a small tree transformed from a chimera seed, twisted it in his hand, and speculated: "I roughly know how those strange-looking trees are spread all over the forest. These chimera seeds parasitize on the demons, absorb nutrients, and eventually...will they turn the host into a tree?"

This is a plot content that Li You didn't know, but Nero's speculation was indeed reasonable.

Li You thought about it and added: "It may be because of them that the Mitis Forest has become what it is now. Maybe the host of the chimera seed is not limited to demons, but even includes animals and even plants that originally lived in the forest."

Nero thought of another question: "If they are seeds, then there must be a mother somewhere that spreads them. If we knock down that mother, will the forest return to its original state? Then we will have no obstacles!"

Nero's brain was indeed useful, and the key point was that he was more and more inclined to use his brain to think, and no longer just acted recklessly. Li You felt very relieved and naturally agreed with his opinion: "Well said!"

"Okay, what are we waiting for?" Nero immediately became alert. "Find the Matrix and get rid of it. I need to go back to the headquarters to find Jillie!"

It should be said that after unlocking the demon transformation, Nero seemed to have come to his senses. Apart from anything else, he had always been embarrassed to mention his importance to Ji Liye, but now he just stopped pretending.

But this is certainly a good thing.

As they were talking, the two had already passed through the cliff path in the forest and came to the entrance of a wide and deep canyon. This place was called the Despair Canyon, and there was only an iron bridge leading to the other end, and it was usually seldom visited.

There was a steep cliff in front of the two of them. Li You had just taken two steps when a voice sounded in his mind, explaining something to him.

After listening to this, Li You stopped and said to Nero with a smile: "Good news. You don't have to look for it anymore. Just look up."

"what?"

Nero was stunned, then subconsciously looked up.

Almost at the same time, a huge black shadow against the sunlight slowly projected down from the open valley ahead.

First, there was a shadow, then a spiked tail, a spiral snake-like body, and finally a ferocious head that looked like a giant python!

It turned out to be a giant black and green snake flying in the air!
Its skin also has the texture of tree bark. There is a circle of leaf-shaped fins under its head, and four slender spikes that curve forward. Several red eyes on top of its head are staring at Nero and Li You.

Nero also opened his mouth in surprise: "This is..."

But the giant plant snake had already opened its mouth and roared at the two of them!
“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

The flower snake swung its long tail and smashed down towards the two people!

"Boom——"

Gravel flew everywhere and smoke rose up, but Li You and Nero were naturally unharmed as they had both avoided it in advance.

Nero jumped to the side nimbly, lowered his body, grasped the ground with his right hand to steady his body, and held the Crimson Queen tightly with his left hand!
"You want to fight, right? Come on!"

The demon flower snake also hissed at him, full of killing intent. Nero was not afraid at all, and was about to draw his sword and rush forward, but he saw the big snake suddenly pause, then raised its huge head with great vigilance, and turned upwards again.

Li You appeared beside Nero at some point and grabbed him: "Wait a minute."

The next moment, a second huge black shadow was projected down from the sky!

Nero looked closely and saw that it was a black flying dragon with two legs and wings, more than ten meters long!

The flying dragon roared loudly, and a large flame spurted out of its mouth, covering the giant snake! The giant snake naturally swam in mid-air to avoid it, but the flying dragon immediately pounced down and grabbed the giant snake's head with its sharp claws!
The two giant beasts then wrestled with each other in mid-air!
“Gahh ...

"Roar--!!"

The roars of the two mixed together, shaking the rock fragments on the mountain walls around the entrance of the canyon to fall.

Nero was so surprised that he didn't know what to do. He could only ask Li You: "What should we do? Fight both of us together?"

Before Li You could answer, he saw the two giant creatures fighting in the air suddenly separate. The giant snake swung its body and swam quickly to the front of the canyon, while the flying dragon flapped its wings and immediately followed.

Seeing them disappear one after another at the other end of the canyon, Li You said, "Let's catch up!"

The two of them then ran quickly along the iron bridge in the canyon, chasing closely. They easily dispatched the several Mephisto demons they encountered along the way, and occasionally when they encountered a broken bridge, Li You would use the grappling hook to directly pull Nero over!

In the end, Li You's speed was getting faster and faster, and Nero had to use magic power to propel himself forward, just to barely keep up with him.

Finally, the two rushed out of the canyon, through the dense forest, and came to an open area behind the forest, where the third black stone tablet stood, and the demon world crack on the door emitted a dark green light.

In the sky above this open space, a giant snake and a flying dragon were fighting.

They tore each other's flesh and blood in the air, and large pieces of scales and skin fell from the sky, but the two seemed to be completely unaware and the fight only became more brutal!
Nero took a closer look at the battle situation, his expression slightly changed: "That dragon... Although I can't sense much magical energy from it, it may be more difficult to deal with than the previous snake! Li You, be careful!"

Li You looked at him and said, "Why do you think I brought you here?"

Nero: "Huh?"

Li You smiled and said, "Because I don't want you to miss this scene."

As soon as he finished speaking, two giant beasts in the sky suddenly fell down and hit Li You from behind with a bang!

"Boom——!"

For a moment, smoke and dust rose again, but Nero saw clearly that the black flying dragon stepped on the giant snake to the ground, raised its head, and let out a loud roar!

"Roar--!!!"

Nero was fascinated by this majestic posture, yet also very alert.

Li You turned his back to the two beasts without any concern, then raised his hands and smiled at Nero:

"Let me introduce you, this is my last companion, Yuzu."

In front, Yuzu in the flying dragon form turned around and let out another majestic roar!

"Roar--!"

Nero: “???”

"what??"

What did you just say?
However, he did not have much time to digest it, because the next moment, the giant snake that was stepped on by Yuzu began to struggle violently. Its snake-like body suddenly exploded and turned into thick vine tentacles. It turned out that its snake body was made up of those vines.

Vines extended from under the neck of the giant snake, and the original snake head suddenly split into four petals, opening like a blooming flower, revealing the true form of the demon.

It turned out to be the upper body of a human female. If you ignore the strangely colored skin and the two "braids" on her head that were formed by the giant snake's tongue, she could even be called beautiful.

At the same time, her strength was not weak either. This explosion released a large amount of magic power, pushing Li You, Nero, and even Yuzu in the form of a flying dragon away!

“Ahhhh——!! How dare you!!”

After revealing its true form, the demon's tentacles pierced into the ground, propped up its body, and then began to speak in human language.

She looked at Yuzu in the flying dragon form instead of Li You and Nero, and screamed angrily: "It's you, it's you!! You killed my children, so many of my children!! Ahhhh!! I want you to pay for their lives, I want to turn you into nutrients for the forest!!"

Yuzu ignored her and just growled and looked at Li You.

Li Youze smiled and said, "We are going to the headquarters of the cult soon. There is no need to hide it anymore."

"So... let's do it!"

Hearing this, Yuzu flapped her wings violently and let out a long howl of joy!

Yuzu rushed forward quickly and bit the giant snake's body! However, the other party just retracted its tentacles, regrouped into a snake body, and then flew up again, rising into the sky. But Yuzu did not relax and flapped his wings to chase after it!
Li You looked at Nero: "This demon is called Echidna, commonly known as the flower snake. She is the mother of the chimera seed and the mother you are looking for. After we get rid of her, we can go to the headquarters of the cult."

Nero opened his mouth: "Wait, before that..."

Li You didn't say much to him, but took out his sniper rifle Echo from the system backpack and handed it to Nero.

There was a faint arc of electricity flashing on the rifle. Li You said to Nero, "You know how to use a rifle, right? Remember, inject magic power into the bullet and shoot it towards the main body!"

"...Tsk!" Nero gritted his teeth, took the echo, briefly familiarized himself with the gun, and then pointed the gun at the sky.

"Once you've dealt with that guy, you have to explain it to me!"

"no problem."

With Li You's assurance, Nero was no longer distracted. He pointed Echo's gun at Echidna, injected magic power into it, and then pulled the trigger!
"boom--!!"

The roar of the gunshots spread throughout the Mitis Forest, even causing a long-lasting echo. In mid-air, the flower snake's body trembled violently, and it let out a scream, and even its flying movements became distorted.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Nero's marksmanship was much better than Li You expected. This shot, which was filled with magical power, accurately pierced through the base of Echidna's snake body's skull!

"Oh?" Li You looked at him in surprise, while Nero curled his lips: "Have you forgotten that I told you before that I studied a lot of firearms in order to study how to deal with demons?"

"That's true." Li You suddenly realized.

While they were talking, Echidna and Yuzu in the air were not idle. The injured Echidna wanted to keep some distance, but Yuzu took the opportunity to pounce on it, grabbed the giant snake's vital point with one claw, and then pressed it down with force, trying to drag it to the ground again!

However, Echidna was obviously unwilling to give up the air advantage. The flower snake's head cracked again to reveal its body, and its magic power burst out again! And this time, a circle of golden red magic light lit up around her body, and she had entered a violent state!
In this state, Echidna's strength will be greatly increased, but the consumption is also very high. She is already desperate. After the rage, Echidna swung her long tail and rushed towards Yuzu who was pushed away by the magic. When she was in front of her, she stopped and swung her tail, and the tail lashed down like a whip.

Yuzu raised her body slightly and used her claws to block Echidna's tail swing, but the magic power attached to her tail exploded immediately, blasting Yuzu's claws into a bloody mess!
Yuzu roared, and spurted out a high-temperature flame mixed with electric light from his mouth!
The breath mixed with thunder and fire was so powerful that Echidna didn't dare to take it head-on, so she dodged it nimbly, changed direction, and attacked Yuzu again!
After going berserk, her speed and agility also increased significantly.

Nero looked down below and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Li You, it doesn't look good! We have to find a way to pull her to the ground!"

Li You was about to speak, but he saw Echidna in the sky let out another sharp long howl, and spit out several spherical objects from her side, smashing towards the two of them!

In mid-air, the spherical objects suddenly exploded and turned into the Chimera seeds seen before, rushing towards Li You and Nero.

"Huh?" Nero was not panicked. He swung the Scarlet Queen in the air and cut off two of them. Li You raised his hand cannon and fired three shots in a row, shooting down the remaining ones.

But that's not all. Both of them have realized that these Chimera seeds are just a delaying tactic. Just now, after Echidna screamed, rustling sounds continued to be heard in the forest around the open space, and the breath of the devil lingered.

Immediately afterwards, demons infected by the chimera seeds walked out of the forest one after another.

Some of them are scarecrow parasites, some are assault demon soldier parasites, some are individual Chimera seeds, and there are even some Mephisto demons floating around.

As for the number, although it’s not overwhelming, a rough glance shows that there are at least hundreds!

If they are held back by them, not to mention how to deal with it, at least Li You and Nero will not be able to help Yuzu.

This should be what Echidna thought.

but……

Nero stood beside Li You vigilantly, looking at the large number of demons surrounding him, and said: "In this situation, I'm afraid I have to use that knife. Li You!"

But Li You just smiled and said: "It is indeed possible... but that would be a bit of an overkill. You'll see."

Nero: “……?”

Li You said nothing, just raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

At first, nothing happened, and the demons continued to gather towards the two. But after a while, strange noises were heard again in the forest, and the demons seemed to have noticed something and turned back to the forest.

The noise in the forest was getting closer and closer, and finally, accompanied by the sound of leaves trembling, humanoid creatures with gray skin and hideous faces jumped out of the forest!
They all opened their eyes emitting blue light, opened their jaws wide, and jumped and pounced flexibly, rushing towards the demon camp! The two sides immediately engaged in a melee!
"Gah——!!"

This sudden appearance of surprise troops caused a great shock to the demons. Although their individual combat power was much inferior to that of the parasitic demons, they had the advantage of being numerous. There were already more than 200 of them emerging so far, and more were expected to continue to emerge!
This difference in numbers allowed them to easily outwit two or even three on one. What's more, compared to the demons fighting on their own, they actually cooperated in an orderly manner.

As a result, the demons' already scattered lines were immediately broken apart, and they became a mess on the spot.

Seeing these creatures rushing out, Nero was also shocked: "What is that!?"

"That's Night Devil." Li You said calmly, "It's my warrior."

Nero: “!?”

The silver-haired young man felt that today's shock was a bit too much.

Li You did not explain much. In fact, not long after he came to this world, to be precise, almost after Nero's right hand mutated, he came to the Mitis Forest and placed the core of the Night Demon's Lair.

The reason why the Mitis Forest was chosen is because the resources here are rich enough. The lush vegetation, the resident animals, and... the active demons are all enough to become food for the night demons.

Considering that the core of the Night Demon's Lair cannot be moved after being placed, Li You simply left Yuzu here just in case. Edge was responsible for controlling the lair, and Yuzu was the guard.

At the same time, Li You also wanted Yuzu to hunt demons in the forest to see if he could awaken his magic power in this way.

When the attack on Jillie took place before, it was these night demons who came out to support her.

Although ordinary Night Demons cannot move during the day, these Night Demons have completed the second advancement and evolved into Sensing Night Demons, so they can move freely at this time. There are even some new mutant Night Demons among them, but that is another story.

In the sky, Echidna also noticed the large number of Night Demons rushing out of the forest below, and immediately roared, "Here they come again, as expected!! You bunch of beasts! Ahhhhh!!"

However, taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Yuzu immediately sprayed a stream of electric breath at her, burning one of her braids to a crisp!
“Gahh ...

Even the enraged Echidna was not good at defense and did not dare to take Yuzu's attack head-on, so she ignored the melee below and pounced on Yuzu again.

After Echidna's magic burst out, although Yuzu fell into a disadvantage, but at the critical moment, he also burst out with magic-like energy, instantly improving his own abilities, and then blocked Echidna's heavy blows!
As a result, the two sides were still unable to determine the winner, but the battle became even more brutal, with blood, flesh and scales flying everywhere.

"Nero, please lend me this knife."

Nero on the side was still in shock, and Li You had already spoken again. There was a flash of light in his hand, and the Yama Sword appeared.

"咻咻咻——!!"

Li You instantly drew his sword and slashed continuously!

The Yama Sword swung out an invisible air blade, which flew through the group of demons not far in front of the two of them, cutting large swathes of demons into pieces!
“——Huh?”

Li You put away his knife gracefully, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

He originally just wanted to try and see if he could mobilize the power of the Yama Sword, but he didn't expect that the sword would not be so repulsive to him.

Perhaps, although the Yama Blade itself is very spiritual, it is not to the point where it must recognize its master?
In short, even Li You could use this sword, but he knew that he certainly could not unleash the full power of the Yama Sword. To be serious, he could probably not even unleash half of it.

But that’s enough. Li You just wanted to satisfy his desire.

He raised his head and looked at Yuzu and Echidna who were still fighting in the sky. Then, under Nero's gaze, Li You once again grasped the hilt of the Yama Blade and began to infuse his own magic power into it.

The next moment, he drew his sword and it flashed in the air! An invisible sword energy flew out along the blade and went straight into the sky!

Wherever the air blade passed, it seemed that even the space itself cracked!

This is the power of the Yama Sword. It can separate humans and demons, and it is suspected to have spatial attributes. After stimulating magic power, the slashing blow can completely split the space!
In other words, Li You was unable to unleash the power of the Yama Sword, so he could not achieve this effect, but the power of the slash should not be underestimated.

In the sky, Yuzu was still fighting with Echidna, but at this moment, as if they had a telepathic connection, she instantly burst out with magic power and retreated, and the sword energy from the Yama Blade landed accurately on the giant snake!
With just a flash of the air blade, Echidna's snake tail was cut off cleanly!

“Ga ga ga——!!”

Suffering a sudden heavy blow, Echidna's cries turned into piercing screams, and the snake body made of vines and tentacles scattered. The huge body directly lost the ability to float in the air and fell weakly to the ground.

"Nero! Go ahead!" Li You shouted at this time and threw the Yama Sword directly over!

"--Leave it to me!" Nero responded loudly.

Over the past few days, the tacit understanding between Li You and Nero has become stronger and stronger, so there is no need to say more at this moment, Nero understood what Li You meant.

He raised his right hand, caught the Yama Sword in mid-air, then instantly activated his magic power and began to transform into a demon!
The half-body shadow of the demon appeared behind Nero, and the Yama Sword was in its hand without knowing when. However, Nero's eyes turned blood red again, and a violent impulse surged in his consciousness.

But then, Nero looked at the falling Echidna, roared, and jumped high!
The magic power condensed into a circular magic circle under his feet, pushing his body up a second time. Nero faced Echidna and swung out the devil's hand with all his might!

The demon shadow behind Nero did the same thing as him. The huge devil's hand grabbed half of Echidna's tail and even swung her body hard in the air!
Echidna was swung around so hard that she let out a distorted scream, but she was completely powerless to resist. She was swung around by the demon Nero for several circles, and then smashed down to the ground!
"Boom-!!"

A dull thud spread far away, and Echidna smashed a deep pit in the open space. The entire demon lay in the pit, motionless.

Nero then landed on the ground. The shadow of the demon behind him did not retract, but the scarlet in his eyes had disappeared.

He raised his hand, looked at the fallen Echidna in front of him, then looked at the shadow of the demon behind him, and muttered to himself: "I... did it? Controlled it?"

Li You had already come to his side, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Of course, congratulations."

Nero showed a bitter smile on his face: "In this case, I am not considered a human being, right? Is this worth congratulating?"

Li Youze smiled and said, "Whether he is a human or a demon, you can't judge by his appearance. Don't forget what I told you before, the stories about Sparta are all true. Can't his legend answer your questions?"

After hearing this, Nero perked up a little: "You're right! Even a demon can fight to protect others like Sparta! I won't hesitate!"

"Very good, that's what we want." Li You nodded with satisfaction.

He was about to say something, but suddenly a dark shadow flashed behind him, and Yuzu jumped down from the air and stepped on Echidna, who was not yet completely dead!

Yuzu kicked the still struggling Echidna back into the big pit on the ground, then lowered her head and bit off her body!

Echidna was too weak to even scream as she was swallowed by Yuzu.

Nero opened his mouth in surprise: "He is..."

Li Youze just said: "It's a long story."

Around the clearing, the demons that emerged from the forest had been almost cleared out by the Night Demons. When Li You was talking to Nero just now, Yuzu was also flying around to help, using her breath to burn a large number of parasitic demons into charcoal, and only came back to take her spoils when the battle was settled.

At this moment, after completing the mission, the group of night demons, which also suffered heavy losses, returned to the forest without stopping and disappeared. The only ones left on the open ground were Yuzu, who was still tearing the body of the flower snake, and Li You and Nero.

The world seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

But at the same time, Dante was sitting on the branch of an inconspicuous tree a little further away, watching the fun.

He had actually been here from the beginning, but both the demons and the night demons that came later seemed not to have noticed such a living person and passed by him without any reaction.

After watching Li You, Nero, and Yuzu defeat Echidna together, Dante stood up from the tree and applauded from a distance: "Well done! I saw a good show."

He had no intention of going forward to greet them. Instead, he clapped his hands on his own and then turned and left.

"Then I should go ahead, so as not to be caught up by them.

"...Wait, what time did Tracy say we were going to meet up?"

Dante was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to realize something and suddenly opened his mouth:

"--ah!!"
