Chapter 1852. Oriental Guardian Beasts
The four martial artists fought near the crumbled wall. Some native soldiers and players were nearby, but not too many. This was the reason Domon defended this part. It was severely lacking in defenders.
A large demon covered in spiky metal plates came to them. It carried with it a huge spiked club. It was swinging this club to smash the four out of his way. Domon came forward and used Tiger Ki Strike. His glaive and the spiked club collided. Despite the demon's huge frame, the demon was the one hurling back from the clash.
But due to Domon coming forward, the other demons saw it as a chance to gang up on him. They jumped at him from different directions. Domon activated his Tiger War God armor. At the same time, he used Weapon Festival. The multiple melee weapons materialized around him, striking the demons that came near.
Domon didn't exert control of his weapon festival. Using mana manipulation on the skill and consciously controlling the skill were two different things. He was good at the former but lacking at the latter. The floating melee weapons were empowered by mana manipulation and thus dealt more damage, but they attacked in automated mode.
Performing Soul Pursuit Hurricane, Domon's glaive expertly slid between his floating melee weapons. Despite the weapon festival's chaotic movements due to auto mode, Domon's control of the glaive in his hand was perfect. His glaive never touched the floating weapons. Yet, it struck the demons missed by his weapon festival.

Wong rushed out in an attempt to aid Domon. A wall of fire suddenly came up before him, blocking his path. Before he could react, a torrent of fire washed over him. He had to activate Steel Body to mitigate the damage.
His mana sense directed him to the one casting the spell. A high demon floating in the air not far away. It was a level 60 eternal. The high demon was in the process of casting another spell.
Before Wong could decide how to deal with the situation, a monstrosity appeared before him. It was the abomination composed of multiple demons, but this one had several disgusting tentacles that slapped around randomly. This abomination was a level 88 mythical grade.
The tentacles came whacking. Wong backflipped to evade them. The ground had visible gashes after the tentacles hit.
While Wong was doing his best to dodge, the eternal-grade demon completed its casting. It was as if a firecracker exploded nearby. This firecracker produced uncountable fiery darts that homed in at Wong and the other nearby defenders.
Wong's hands turned into a blur as he used Hundred Lightning Hands. Every fiery dart coming his way was slapped to embers without hitting him. However, performing this martial art caused him to be unable to move. The abomination with tentacles came again and was about to smack him with its tentacles.
A flame pillar suddenly struck the abomination before it swung its tentacles. The flame pillar was powerful enough to push the abomination and force it to stop its attack on Wong. Not long after, something fast came slamming the abomination from above.
It was a humanoid dragon.
"You?!" Muirong called after seeing this humanoid dragon. She had seen this being before. She and the others had fought it more than a month ago.
"Long!" Wong exclaimed. The humanoid dragon was Long in his enhanced dragon form.
Long executed Infinite Comet Fists, beating back the demons who were about to swarm him and Wong.
"Thank you for coming! We need all the help we can get!" Domon exclaimed while fighting the other demons.
Long harrumphed. "Hmph! Don't get me wrong. I'm not helping you, people. I'm just seeing this as a good opportunity to practice."
"Hehe," Wong chuckled. "Let's fight together then."
He rushed past Long and used Fist Cannon at the abomination. It was the only one resisting Long's infinite comet fist and stood its ground. Wong's fist cannon sent it reeling back.
The eternal-grade demon cast another spell again. The spell summoned several large fiery blades that cut through the ground and headed toward them. It was the Blade of Doom.
The flaming blades traveled in straight lines. Although it dealt high damage, it was useless against expert martial artists. Wong and Long easily stepped out of harm's way. Long even rushed forward. Using two skills at the same time to boost his speed. Speed Run and Beastly Speed. His target was the eternal-grade demon.
The eternal-grade demon was taken by surprise. It tried to fly further up while casting a spell that caused a burst of fire around it.
Long ignored the fire burst. He just charged through it. He lost some HP. Flames erupted on his body, but that was not the burn effect from the demon's fire burst. It was his Nine Yang Restoration. His lost HP was quickly refilled. He arrived next to the eternal-grade demon.
The demon was taken aback by Long's lightning speed. Before it could react, a fist landed on his face. Its legs were then hit by Long's leg sweep. It spun around uncontrollably in the air. Despite being an eternal grade, it was only level 60. So, it was powerless against Long, especially once it was dragged into a melee exchange.
Long grabbed the demon's body and threw it in Wong's direction.
Wong jumped and received the demon by performing an axe kick. The demon was sent slamming into the ground where Muirong came and used her Fifty Shades of Death to keep it pinned to the ground. The constant hits from Murong's martial arts rendered the demon unable to cast spells.
The other demons came rushing at Long who had advanced too far from the group to catch the eternal-grade demon. Long didn't panic. He even stared at these incoming demons with a sneer.
When the mass of demons arrived. He used Beastly Rage. The shockwave from the skill stopped the demons' advance. It also boosted his next attack which he executed immediately after.
He punched his fist into the sky. A massive image of a golden fist punched out of the ground below. All the demons in Long's vicinity were swept upward helplessly. This giant fist then exploded in a brilliant display of light. This was the World Conquering Fist. With the power boost from Beast Rage, all the nearby demons received massive damage.

"This is taking longer than it should," A high demon with the name of Maliarki said.
"Lord Satan will not be pleased," A female high demon by the side said. She went by the name Ririth. Her voice sounded anxious.
"Aren't the upperworld denizen weaklings?" Another high demon said. His name was Xarod. "Weren't they almost decimated when our six lords attacked them?"
"They had time to prepare," Maliarki said. "Their effort is simply delaying the inevitable. The problem is we will suffer Lord Satan's wrath if they are not defeated by the time he arrives. How far away is Lord Satan's force?"
"Lord Satan should probably arrive in three or four hours," Xarod answered.
The battle had been going on for more than half a day. The defenders were still fiercely defending the walls despite being outnumbered. This upset the commanders of the demon army. These three high demons were the main commanders of this vanguard force. The three were all eternal grades. Maliarki was level 80. Ririth was level 78, while Xarod was level 75.
"In that case, we can't stand idle," Maliarki said. "Let's go! Send everyone out!"
The reserve demon army, still hanging at the back, rushed forward once they received the command. The pressure suffered by the defenders intensified. Their line of defense was again pushed.
The three commanders caused the situation to become even more difficult for the defenders. All three were potent spellcasters. Their spells hit hard and covered a large area. In a short time, the defenders suffered many casualties. Even with the help from the rune tree's recovery effect, it was still difficult to cope.
"Tip! It's time to use that," Linda shouted.
"I know!" Tip replied. He accessed the guild army platform and activated the active effect of a guild enchantment.
The enchantment was the secret guild enchantment Chris said to appear once they tamed the Lord Stormbird. This guild enchantment was called the Oriental Guardian Beasts. It was triggered when a guild possessed four guild guardians of specific monster types. The required types were a draconic monster with traits close to a dragon, an aquatic monster with traits close to a turtle, a beast monster with traits close to a tiger, and an avian monster with traits close to a bird.
This enchantment had a passive effect and an active effect. The passive effect improved the level growth rate of all guild pets. Unfortunately, Ladohn had just recently joined the guild, so the passive effect was not evident yet. As for the active effect, it was similar to Jack's Elevate Beast skill. It elevated the guild guardians by one grade.
Once Tip activated the enchantment, Penny, Gumeru, Czar, and Ladohn were enveloped by white lights. All four were mythical grades. After the activation, they became eternal grades.
Tip didn't activate the enchantment from the get-go because the active effect had a duration. It lasted three hours. Hence, he only used it when powerful opponents like the three demon commanders showed up. Once he did, he set those three demon commanders as the target for the guild guardians.
