Mist surrounded him.

Leonard Churchill jumped into the bottomless Wailing Abyss.

The relentless pursuing demons behind him could not stop their momentum in time and like a cascade, rushed and fell into the surprisingly deep gorge.

As Churchill fell in mid-air, he glanced at the Cerberus that unfortunately did not fall down, and took a silent pity.

He dove down quickly, suddenly raising one hand, causing the steel cable on his mechanical armguard to shoot out sharply.

The steel spike was embedded into the rock wall.

Just like swinging on a swing, he gracefully swung back to the rock wall.

Churchill ignored the demons falling like rain from above. With the emergence of his wolf claws, he once again began to sprint along the vertical cliff.

As he ran, he occasionally left small pieces of his scented clothing wrapped around a small piece of the Secret Cause Spirit Medium on the sheer cliffside.

He knew quite well that the Hellhounds above had remarkably sensitive noses and a little misdirection could relieve some pressure.

Even as Churchill ran on the rock wall, he heard the group of demons following him from above.

Thankfully, Hellhounds were not good at rock climbing and could not follow him downwards.

The Spider Demons that could move freely on the rock wall were not as fast as him.

However, if this continued, Churchill knew that he would have difficulty getting away.

The Wailing Abyss seemed endless. Originally, he planned to continue descending and he might have had a chance to escape.

But this is an Alternate Dimension, and he had to return to the Thunderbolt Fortress to get out.

Besides, the endless abyss always gave people the feeling that there were great horrors deep beyond reach.

Churchill didn’t want to try.

Most importantly, previously, most of the demon forces were attacking the fortress, but now that they discovered the teleportation channel was destroyed, their first target was sure to be to reclaim the Holy Item, the Power Gem Golden Sphere.

When hundreds of thousands of monsters accumulate on the crevice, who knows what climbing creatures will descend, and Churchill’s escape route would be completely blocked.

So, the abyss could only temporarily save his life.

If he wanted to escape eventually, he still had to go up.

Both the Power Gem Golden Sphere and the Secret Cause Spirit Medium could not be collected. As long as he was unwilling to abandon these two items, the pursuers could not be shaken off.

Abandon them?

The treasures obtained with his life at stake could not be discarded.”

The gold sphere did not emit light or heat, and he didn’t know if the demons had a way to locate it.

As for the spirit medium, it could be absorbed with just a little time.

But, the pursuers above would not give him peaceful absorption time.

A thought suddenly came to Churchill and a trace of mischief appeared in his eyes, “Now the only one who can resist the Demon Corps is the Fierce Beast Legion…”

The activated A-level plot “Sacred Relic Snatching” was the Legion War Mode. Tens of thousands of Demon Legions could not be resisted by a single person.

Diverting the trouble to others was a plan that Churchill had considered before.

From the very start when he thought about stirring things up, he knew that he could only rely on the monsters to deal with the noble legions.

Now it seems, could those people also help him a little?

After all, fighting with the monsters, it would be even better if the Fierce Beast Legion could help him delay a little time.

He didn’t need to hold on for too long, just until he had finished digesting the spirit medium.

By that time, with his attribute skyrocketing, even a Second Tier demon might not be able to catch up.

With these thoughts, Churchill decided to proceed this way.

But now the problem was, Churchill himself was not faster than the Second Tier “Mixed-blood Hellhound-Dangal” above.

“If I want the plan to succeed, I must find a way to deal with that Cerberus…”

Churchill’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately found a solution.

He left his scent all along the abyss, and demons kept coming down to inspect it.

Watching as the pursuers got distracted, Churchill suddenly seized the opportunity to sprint upwards.

The moment his head appeared, the Cerberus was already waiting on the edge of the cliff.

A stream of black Hellfire spouted towards him.

Churchill quickly dodged.

The only ones who could keep up now were the Second-Tier Cerberus and a few First Tier Two-headed Hounds.

As soon as Churchill came up, he sprinted along the cliff-edge again.

Realizing that the Hellhounds behind him were getting closer and closer, and that the Hellfire was already hot on his back.

While running, Churchill suddenly took out a white armor card, injecting it with Curse Power.

The frost flashed, and Frost Knight Heavy Armor draped over Churchill.

Choosing to put on armor meant having no intention to escape.

The few Hellhounds saw him stop and pounced on him.

However, Churchill noticed from the corner of his eye that the Cerberus stopped very cautiously.

It only watched and hovered on the side without rushing up.

It seemed to have smelled the threat of a scheme.

“Won’t be fooled, huh…”

Churchill grumbled inwardly.

The possibility of killing this Second Tier Catastrophe was not high, and time did not permit.

He initially planned to rely on his heavy armor and fight in close quarters. If he could manage to break the Hellhound’s leg bones in the process, then it would be a job well done.

But the Cerberus didn’t fall for it.

It seemed to know that if it kept this human pinned here, the army in the back would naturally take care of him.

Even among demons, Hellhounds are known for chasing prey.

But they do not necessarily kill the prey.

As Churchill saw the monster not advancing as expected, he made the decision in that moment to go with the backup plan.

He suddenly took out a gray sphere from his hand, then tossed it towards the cliff not far from him.

No dog could resist this kind of “throwing” motion.

Not to mention what was thrown was the Holy Item of the Demon Clan, the Power Gem Golden Sphere!

The eyes of the Cerberus were instantly attracted, as if thinking that if the sphere fell into the abyss, it would be lost forever..
