Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xu Yuan could sense the statue’s excitement at devouring new energy. As it devoured the power of decay, he also sensed something within the tree. It was loneliness.
All that the tree had ever known in its lifetime was death, decay, and loneliness.
Xu Yuan’s spirits were high. He had never expected to be able to gain control over such terrifying power.
A mournful roar rang out from afar, and Xu Yuan instinctively turned to look.
In the center of the collapsed ruins, the sky was covered by countless demons. These demons could fly!
The demons had sharp bone spikes that were half a meter long. They looked like hedgehogs. They gripped their tridents and flapped their wings.
The Spiked Demons flew toward the tree at great speed.
There were a hundred of them. Maybe more were approaching…
Su Wan knew that this was the most critical moment, and Xu Yuan shouldn’t be disturbed. She commanded the Night Devil Bees to guard the front.
Scarlen charged forward with his sword.
The troops charged as one toward the Spiked Demons.
In the dark sky, both troops clashed. The Night Devil Bees let loose their venomous needles. The needles whooshed through the sky like a whisper of death.
The Spiked Demons sensed the danger and let out a sharp cry. They dodged the needles easily.
Most of their attacks missed their mark.
The needles that had missed shattered like glass and formed a metal vortex. The storm of needles then rushed toward the demons once again, causing great damage.
The broken poison needles had a 30% instant death ability and could cause massive fire damage. If the demons weren’t hit in the vital organs, the instant death ability would be triggered. If not, the fire would burn them.
Flames rose in the air. The Spiked Demons were caught by surprise.
The upgraded Night Devil Bees had powerful abilities. One such ability made them immune to any kind of magical attack. So, the Night Devil Bees rushed forward and engaged in close combat with the demons.
The Spiked Demons seethed in rage. When they sat the Night Devil Bees rushing toward them, they vowed to crush the insects! The tridents in their hands tore through the air and stabbed with fury.
However, their anger didn’t find any mark. The Night Devil Bees used their stingers to stab the demons while dodging any kind of attack from the enemy.
By the time the Night Devil Bees were done, only fifty Spiked Demons remained.
The Lords watched in awe. They had thought that it was all over for Su Wan when the Spiked Demons had arrived. However, the demons had been slaughtered mercilessly.
The Lords exchanged shocked glances. They felt envious and scared. They couldn’t even compare to Su Wan in any aspect.
“How powerful is that Lord? The Spiked Demons were slaughtered like livestock!”
“How did I never hear of a Lord this powerful?”
The Lords couldn’t understand how a Lord could reach that level of strength.
Su Wan looked at the Spiked Demons being hunted and killed. She felt proud of the Night Devil Bees. She had raised them well.
Only she knew how much she had spent on the Night Devil Bees. Half her savings had been gone just to train them. In the end, it was worth it!
Su Wan turned her focus to Xu Yuan. The range of decay had lessened to a diameter of 50 meters. The surrounding mist was fainter than before.
The statue’s aura and power grew. The aura was so great that it even made the sealed soul of the God of Light stir warily.
Xu Yuan’s gaze burned with passion. He was about to own this terrifying power!
The hunt had reached the most crucial moment.
Just then, a pained and angry roar filled the air. The roar was from an entity that had been trapped in the abyss for a million years.
Xu Yuan’s mind was filled with horrifying images. He was suddenly in a dark and decaying world. A bolt of red lightning tore through the sky.
A figure rose from the chaos. He looked like a corpse that had been soaked in water for days on end. All pale and bloated, he sat on a throne of rotten corpses. He was covered in a black shroud.
The entity looked straight at Xu Yuan with pale eyes. He was none other than the ruler of the Bottomless Abyss. He was the King of Decay, Heimrigg.
His gaze pinned Xu Yuan on the spot. The oppressive aura was like a slithering snake slowly coiling around his neck. It was difficult to even breathe.
The pale figure in a black shroud squirmed on the rotten throne..
