Fortress Array

"You can actually attack?"

Jiang Cheng's heart stirred, looking toward the surrounding flesh walls.

Incidentally, he used the Magical Weapon Descends skill.

【Hint: Using Magical Weapon Descends, weapon gains 30% attack power, 30% spell attack power successfully, randomly obtained enchantment effect: Rapid Rainfall.】

【Rapid Rainfall effect: weapon attack speed increased by 100%, when attacking, 10% chance to gain 1000% weapon attack speed boost, lasting 3 seconds.】

"A thousand percent?"

Seeing the Rapid Rainfall trait effect, Jiang Cheng was delighted.

Though it wasn't adding to his overall attribute panel's attack speed, with his current state fully activated, achieving five strikes per second, combined with the secondary weapon's Forced Blade Retraction technique, triggering the Nether Wings' Seven Slaughters effect and Divine Wind Hands' afterimage effect, with good luck, he could reach fifteen strikes per second.

If he had triggered Rapid Rainfall earlier, his attack speed per second should reach 0.12!

0.12 seconds per strike, just pure slashing alone, could achieve eight strikes per second.

Combined with Forced Blade Retraction, triggering all passives, Jiang Cheng didn't know what level his attack speed would reach.

Since he wasn't sure, Jiang Cheng decided to test it out.

Clang!

As the azure Nether Blade was unsheathed, a gust of wind carrying raindrops swept through the entire dark cave.

Jiang Cheng was already moving toward the flesh walls.

...

Inside the Mountain God's stone eyes, the Hell's Three-Pronged Demon was currently observing Huo Silou and the others' movements.

While Huo Silou and the others couldn't see anything, the Hell's Three-Pronged Demon could observe everything from within the Mountain God's eyes.

"My lord, we already have enough food this time. Why bother sucking that undead in too?"

The Hell's Three-Pronged Demon's subordinate, Two-Blade Demon, asked with some concern.

That Blue Skeleton, it always felt there was something off about it. Sucking it in might have been a mistake.

"What? Is my decision something you can criticize?"

The Hell's Three-Pronged Demon's ten pairs of black demon eyes narrowed slightly.

Two-Blade Demon immediately became terrified, quickly kneeling down. "This subordinate overstepped. It's just... my lord, this undead seems very unusual. Won't it disrupt our plans?"

"Unusual? How so? Hmph, inside the Mountain God's belly, no matter how special it is, its only fate is to become nourishment for enhancing our power."

The Three-Pronged Demon said with great disdain.

"But... since following my lord to the mortal realm, I've seen quite a few undead, but I've never seen this type. Not only does it have golden wings, its weapons also seem unusual..."

"Heh, Two-Blade, are you becoming more cowardly with age? A mere undead is worth such attention from you?"

The Three-Pronged Demon remained dismissive.

"When I brought you out, you were just a lowest-tier inferior being. Now you've become an eighth-tier lower rank, yet you're still this timid?"

"It's not that I'm timid, but... this undead dared to kill even Four-Winged Angels. Its identity might be unusual."

The Qiuming Mountain outpost hadn't received any information about Jiang Cheng, so they didn't know the Blue Skeleton they were discussing had just killed their Demon Lord's mount.

"That was just a Four-Winged Angel's clone, with only one percent of the true Four-Winged Angel's power. Killing it is nothing surprising. Besides, the stronger this undead is, the more death energy it can provide us. You know how long it's been since my power has increased?"

"This... subordinate just feels the risk is too great. The Demon Lord's mission was for us to stay hidden and avoid causing trouble that might expose our outpost..."

"Enough... no need to say more. You've followed me for quite a while, so you should know my personality. As they say, fortune favors the bold. To rapidly grow stronger, how can we not take some risks?"

The Three-Pronged Demon said earnestly, "Besides, inside the Mountain God's belly is the Fortress Array. It's not as simple as it appears on the surface."

"The defense effect of the Fortress Array, you should be aware. Either possess overwhelming power like the War God or Dharma God to directly break the array, or attack the array's core a hundred times in quick succession. Heh, do you think such a person exists in this world?"

"Hearing you put it that way, my lord, I feel much better. It's my fault for momentarily forgetting the Fortress Array's effect. Hehe."

Two-Blade Demon chuckled to cover his embarrassment.

The Mountain God wasn't as simple as it appeared. The Fortress Array was just one of many arrays within the Mountain God.

Inside the Mountain God's body were various arrays, but just the Fortress Array alone could resist many powerful figures.

They had previously captured some combat elves from the Elf Faction, and even sucked in a Principality Angel!

Principality Angels were the strongest among the lower three tiers of angels, but inside the Mountain God, facing the Fortress Array, they were completely helpless and could only be slowly tortured to death.

A mere undead, though capable of killing a Four-Winged Angel's clone, what could it do against the Fortress Array?

"Hmm, this undead seems to be approaching the array's core with a blade. How did it see through it?"

While Two-Blade Demon was thinking, the Three-Pronged Demon suddenly noticed Jiang Cheng's movements through the Mountain God's eyes, immediately puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, my lord. As you said, no one can break the Fortress Array. Even if it has some skill to see through the array's core, what use is it? Can it possibly strike a hundred times instantly?"
