Lord of the Sky City-Chapter 742 - 705: Blast a Way Out!

Chapter 742: Chapter 705: Blast a Way Out!

With tentacles blocking the front and the Mother Worm chasing from behind, Rocky chose to risk it all and suddenly increased the speed of his armor’s flight.

Seeing him accelerate, Liliya and Dusa each took one side and grabbed He Nan. Before He Nan could understand what was happening, they also sped up, catching up with Rocky.

Not until this moment did He Nan realize that Rocky and the others had not been flying at top speed before; now they were.

Indeed, that was true. Before this, Rocky, Liliya, and Dusa had merely maintained high speed, but they had not pushed their armor to its limits. This wasn’t due to overconfidence but rather consideration for He Nan, as his Fourth-Generation Armor was no match for the Rune Armor in terms of speed.

But now that was no longer possible. Now, Rocky and the others couldn’t just slowly progress; trapped between attacks from both front and back, they needed to leave at their highest speed. Without Liliya and Dusa’s help, He Nan would have nearly instantly fallen behind as soon as the trio reached their peak speed.

As Liliya and Dusa rapidly propelled He Nan forward, Rocky led the way and cleared all obstacles, severing the tentacles stretching out of the cliffs with his scythe. Since their speed was so fast, there wasn’t enough time for new tentacles to emerge from the cliffs before they flew past.

This way, the tentacles were no longer a barrier, and the high pace finally allowed them to shake off the Mother Worm, appearing as though the four had escaped the danger.

But that clearly wasn’t enough. Rocky had suddenly increased the speed because he had already thought of a way to eradicate the threat permanently, a method that would not only allow them to escape but would also bury all the demons here—including the Mother Worm, the myriad cocoons, and even the countless beetles!

Afterward, Rocky engaged the full power of his White Demon Armor, his speed increasing even more. He not only shook off the Mother Worm chasing behind but also created a gap between himself, Liliya, and Dusa. Of course, this was expected since, although Liliya and Dusa’s armor was the same one-rank as the White Demon Armor, it was still somewhat inferior, especially since they were also carrying He Nan.

Under these circumstances, Rocky quickly saw the exit of the deep pit, meaning they were about to return to the Dissolving Cave above.

But this was not something to be relieved about yet because the upper Dissolving Cave was filled with countless beetles and Mantis Demons, a danger not inferior in any way to the Mother Worm below. However, Rocky had already figured out a solution.

As he began destroying all the obstructive tentacles at top speed and approached the pit’s exit, he adjusted his position and opened his chest plate, revealing the massive cannon mounted inside!

Demon Annihilation Cannon!

As Rocky unveiled the Demon Annihilation Cannon, even though Liliya and Dusa didn’t previously know what he intended to do, they now understood: he clearly wasn’t planning on returning the same way they came, as the route was now blocked by beetles. Rocky was planning to blast a new path with the Demon Annihilation Cannon!

Yes, that was exactly what he was thinking!

As previously mentioned, the path the four had taken was now swarming with Beetles and Mantis Demons, making it impossible to leave through the same route under the relentless attack of countless Beetles and Mantis Demons. Therefore, Rocky thought of this plan: he would use the Demon Annihilation Cannon to blast a way out.

The current location was several hundred meters underground. If it were merely beneath the ground, Rocky’s plan would have been completely unviable, because even the Demon Annihilation Cannon couldn’t possibly blow a path through hundreds of meters to the surface, which was impossible, but don’t forget the existence of Red Water Lake.

Indeed, Rocky and his group were hundreds of meters underground; however, it wasn’t solid rock that was above them, but Red Water Lake.

Remember when they had just reached the upper Dissolving Cave, He Nan noticed water dripping from above the cave and then deduced their position right beneath Red Water Lake, which also proved another thing: the layer of rock between the Dissolving Cave and Red Water Lake was not very thick. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for lake water to seep through the rock layer into the Dissolving Cave. This provided Rocky with an opportunity. The Demon Annihilation Cannon might not be able to blow through hundreds of meters of rock, but blasting a hole in the Dissolving Cave to let the water from Red Water Lake pour in was still feasible.

As long as this was achieved, it would be equivalent to blasting an exit within the Dissolving Cave itself, and Rocky and his team could use this exit to escape the cave. Although this was still quite risky, since all four were equipped with Void Magic Armor, and besides He Nan, they wore the most advanced Rune Armor of today, overcoming this difficulty was not too hard.

Furthermore, once the lake water flooded the Dissolving Cave, whether it be the countless Beetles inside, the tens of thousands of cocoons, or the terrifying three Mother Worms, all would be drowned by the lake water!

This was the solution Rocky came up with, fraught with danger, but if successful, it would resolve the issue once and for all, utterly destroying the place!

So, once he activated the Demon Annihilation Cannon, Rocky immediately put the White Demon Armor into full-state mode. The runes drawn on the armor were all activated at this moment, greatly enhancing the armor’s mana, and all these mana were channeled exclusively into the Demon Annihilation Cannon, significantly increasing its power and greatly reducing the charging time of the cannon.

While flying at high speed and activating the Demon Annihilation Cannon, it was almost at the same moment they approached the pit’s exit that the Demon Annihilation Cannon finally charged completely. By then, not only did Rocky see the exit, but he also saw countless Beetles tumbling out from the exit, obviously too impatient to wait.

However, no matter whether it was these Beetles, the Mantis Demons, or the relentlessly pursuing Mother Worms behind them, they stood no chance at all once the Demon Annihilation Cannon was fully charged. Because, just as Rocky approached the pit’s exit, a bright light burst forth from his chest, followed by an immensely thick beam of light that shot out!

In full-state mode, the power of the Demon Annihilation Cannon was significantly greater, and the light produced by the mana was dazzling. Thus, when the beam of light shot out of the pit, it instantly lit up the upper Dissolving Cave, and the intense light caused countless Beetles and Mantis Demons to emit screams, clearly because these demons, having lived underground all their lives, were afraid of light.

But at this point, what they feared was irrelevant, because, in the blink of an eye, the Demon Annihilation Cannon fiercely hit the top of the Dissolving Cave, followed by a loud explosion!
