Chapter 321 Chapter 321: Cryonex Vs. Wei Lin (part 3)

?The citizens below, though disheartened by the visible cracks in the array, found inspiration in Wei Lin's unwavering determination. Little did they know that this apparent struggle concealed Wei Lin's true intention—a strategic ploy to lull Cryonex into a false sense of security.

As the Frozen Eclipse continued to assault the array, Wei Lin patiently awaited the opportune moment to unleash the hidden formation.

The Frozen Eclipse, a malevolent surge of icy darkness and shadowy energy, collided with the harmonized array. The night sky trembled as Cryonex's 80% strength attack wreaked havoc, causing audible cracks to echo through the celestial expanse. The citizens, witnessing the assault, held their breaths as the once-resilient defense showed visible signs of fracturing.

Within the array, Wei Lin skillfully projected an illusion of struggle. His feigned desperation, hands trembling and brows furrowed, intensified the collective concern of the onlookers below. Cryonex, basking in the apparent success of his attack, taunted the array master.

"Human, this is the best you can do? Your precious array is breaking before my might. Accept your defeat!" Cryonex's voice resonated with mocking triumph.

Wei Lin, maintaining his act, responded with a semblance of desperation. "I underestimated your strength. But I won't let this city fall. I will fight until my last breath."

The citizens, though disheartened by the visible cracks in the array, found inspiration in Wei Lin's unwavering determination. Little did they know that this apparent struggle concealed Wei Lin's true intention—a strategic ploy to lull Cryonex into a false sense of security.

As the Frozen Eclipse continued its relentless assault on the array, Cryonex, convinced of his imminent victory, decided to close in on Wei Lin. With a smug face, the demonic commander flew closer, confident that the array was on the brink of collapse.

In that crucial moment, when Cryonex believed the array was defenseless, Wei Lin seized the opportunity. With a swift and precise motion, he activated the hidden formation acquired from the ancient texts in the hidden caves—an array specifically designed to counter demons.

The citizens, unaware of Wei Lin's concealed strategy, watched as the cracks in the array expanded, seemingly unable to withstand Cryonex's relentless assault. Yet, in a sudden turn of events, the harmonized forces, instead of dissipating, transformed into ethereal chains that ensnared Cryonex.

The hidden array, now unveiled, bore the name "Demonbane Chains." These luminous chains emitted a radiant glow, binding Cryonex in a celestial prison. The citizens, initially resigned to despair, erupted in astonished cheers as they witnessed the unexpected reversal.

The citizens, buoyed by the unexpected turn of events, watched in awe as the Demonbane Chains ensnared Cryonex, the once-overbearing demonic commander now writhing in pain. The night sky, a testament to the indomitable spirit of humanity, bore witness to the celestial struggle.

Unbeknownst to the citizens, the demonic duo, Xal'Thar and Vexoria, witnessing the unfamiliar array, felt an ominous presence that stirred fear within them. Locking eyes, the two demons exchanged a silent acknowledgment of the array's menacing aura. Without hesitation, they shot through the celestial expanse, streaking towards Cryonex with unmatched speed.

Cryonex, trapped within the luminous embrace of the Demonbane Chains, howled in agony. The ethereal shackles not only inflicted physical torment but also gnawed at his very soul. Pain, both physical and spiritual, coursed through Cryonex, leaving him in a state of unparalleled suffering.

As Cryonex teetered on the brink of demise, Xal'Thar and Vexoria, fueled by a mixture of concern and their own self-interest, descended upon the scene. With coordinated precision, the two demons launched a joint assault on the Demonbane Chains, their attacks resonating with the sinister energies of the demonic realm.

Xal'Thar, his shadowy figure blending with the darkness, spoke with a growl, "This array reeks of forbidden knowledge. We must destroy it before it devours Cryonex entirely."

Vexoria, the chaotic energy swirling around him, added, "I didn't expect a human to wield such power. We cannot let this human to live."

Together, Xal'Thar and Vexoria unleashed a torrent of demonic energy upon the luminous chains. The clash between the demonic forces and the celestial array sent shockwaves through the night sky. The citizens, initially elated by the Demonbane Chains, now watched in trepidation as the demonic duo sought to break the formidable array.

In the midst of the chaos, Wei Lin, the orchestrator of this array, felt a sudden backlash as the Demonbane Chains absorbed the shock of Xal'Thar and Vexoria's assault. The unexpected collaboration between demons against a common foe created a surge of energy that reverberated through the array.

Wei Lin, caught off guard, staggered within the remnants of the array. "This power... it's too much," he muttered, grappling with the unforeseen consequences of the chaotic clash in the heavens.

As the celestial tumult unfolded, the citizens below, their cheers silenced by the escalating chaos, watched with a mixture of awe and concern. The once radiant array, now shattered, left them in a state of uncertainty. The fate of their city hung in the balance as the demonic forces and celestial energies clashed in a tumultuous dance.

Wei Lin, now outside the safety of the array, struggled to regain his composure. The unexpected collaboration between Xal'Thar and Vexoria against the Demonbane Chains took him by surprise. Exhausted and battered, he watched as the demonic duo intensified their assault, the luminous chains quivering under the onslaught.

Cryonex, though still ensnared by the ethereal shackles, seized the opportunity. Despite the pain that coursed through his demonic form, a malicious grin formed on his lips. "You think these chains can bind me forever, human? You underestimate the resilience of a demon."

The Demonbane Chains, straining under the pressure of the demonic onslaught, emitted a faint glow that hinted at their impending limits. The citizens, their hopes momentarily rekindled by the array's success, now faced the harsh reality of its vulnerability.

As the demonic forces closed in on the weakened Demonbane Chains, Wei Lin, though battered and fatigued, mustered the strength to speak. "Even if you break the array, you demons won't escape the consequences of your actions."

"Human," Cryonex growled, his voice strained with the agony of his predicament. "I will make you suffer for this."

Yet, before Cryonex could carry out his threat, Xal'Thar intervened. The demonic figure, shadows clinging to his form like a second skin, approached Cryonex with an air of authority. "Human, where did you learn that array? I'm sure that array specifically targets our demon race."

Vexoria, his chaotic energy pulsating, echoed Xal'Thar's inquiry with a menacing tone. "You should answer us truthfully. I promise you a quick death. Because if Cryonex gets a hold of you..."

Xei Lin, though exhausted and coughing blood from the backlash, interrupted their threats with a defiant laugh. "Even if I tell you, you won't be able to get those books... Because those books already disappeared."

Cryonex, consumed by pain and anger, couldn't suppress the urge any longer. With a primal roar, he lunged towards Wei Lin, his claws poised to strike. The citizens, their hopes hanging by a thread, watched in dread as the demonic commander closed in on the battered array master.

"Since you don't want to tell us, then die!" Cryonex's voice reverberated with unbridled fury.

However, before Cryonex could reach Wei Lin, a resounding sword slash cleaved through the air, intercepting the demonic commander's path. The sword, emanating a radiant energy, stopped Cryonex in his tracks. The citizens, momentarily frozen with fear, now witnessed a mysterious figure stepping forward

—a figure clad in ethereal armor with a sword that seemed to defy the laws of reality.
