Swoosh!
After the captain, Miller, got over his shock, he responded quickly and shot an arrow at the highest speed possible. He warned the army and called for reinforcements. Soon after, he ordered the soldiers to launch frantic attacks: “Kill! Kill them all, and don’t let anyone go.”
The soldiers were stunned by the power released instantly by the Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, but they depended upon their numerical advantage and didn’t cower. On the contrary, they attacked Yang Ling’s team ferociously to make a military contribution and get a generous reward. In addition, they also saw a large group of soldiers rushing swiftly toward them, and they became more confident and fearless.
“Lord, the other side has gotten more people; what do you think about that?” The Corpse Wizard King waved his hand and summoned several flying demons. He obstructed several soldiers that rushed at them and asked Yang Ling whether they should carry out a bloody battle or retreat swiftly.
“So many years have passed, and it’s time to upgrade our Beast Soul Altar. It just happens that we still lack so many Premium Black Crystals,” Yang Ling sneered coldly. He waved his hand to summon a group of Horned Dragons. At first, he didn’t want to have a conflict with the local hegemon, the Giant Dragon Domain, because he wanted to quickly find the Star Indicator, as well as a Star Indicator which would indicate the Death Dimension’s location. But those people sought death by themselves, and he didn’t mind giving them a fierce lesson.
If he started something, he should follow it through to the end. This was also why he would plunder the Black Crystals in the Crystal Mine.
“Hehe, good. The whole Crystal Mine is ours. Death Ripples!” The Corpse Wizard King was quick-witted. Upon seeing Yang Ling summon the fiercest group of God-Level Horned Dragons, he quickly understood Yang Ling’s intentions. He chuckled and released sharp Death Ripples with the Death Horn in his hand. He commanded the crowd and launched a ferocious counterattack.
Sizzle!
The sharp Death Ripples spread like a tide, giving rise to even more ripples. Every wave was higher than the last, and they swiftly entered the bodies of soldiers in their scarlet armor. Those soldiers suddenly got a splitting headache and screamed miserably. The tens of people who bore the brunt of the ripples were even more miserable. Their consciousness turned muddled, and some soldiers’ souls were even extinguished on the spot.
After the Corpse Wizard King used the Demon God Battle Formation to strengthen himself with the crowd’s power, the Death Ripples’ offensive power reached a formidable level. Those ripples couldn’t pose a threat to the Great Soul Wizard, Yang Ling, or the Wandering Divine Beast, the Golden Roc. But, they were still a nightmare to the soldiers in scarlet armor who had only a Low-Level Deity’s power.
Roar!
The Horned Dragon King let out a roar and took back its true form before it soared into the sky. It launched ferocious attacks with the numerous Horned Dragons. They used their high speed and their tough bodies to their advantage. They either rushed into the enemies’ lines and bashed everything in their way, or they brought the enemies into the air before tearing them in half.
“Giant Dragons–how is this possible? Who… Who are you?” After the team leader, Miller, narrowly dodged a Horned Dragon’s claw, he turned pale with fright and he looked in awe at Yang Ling’s team.
Giant Dragons were always the Giant Dragon Domain’s trump card, and they were a symbol of the Giant Dragon Lord’s outstanding power. He didn’t expect that Yang Ling’s team would have so many Giant Dragons. The number of Giant Dragons wasn’t high, but their power was very great, and they were extremely bloodthirsty and terrifying.
“Hehehe…you must bear in mind that we are the Magical Beast Divine Branch, the Magical Beast Divine Branch formed by the Magical Beasts’ King.” The Corpse Wizard King laughed and tore a dozen soldiers to shreds with the Corpse Explosion. Soon after, he cast Poison Explosions that infected dozens of soldiers who couldn’t retreat in time with terrible Corpse Poison. He was just about to kill the crafty team leader, but innumerable whips appeared suddenly in the air.
Swoosh!
A mass of vicious viper-like blood vines swiftly coiled around the team leader, Miller. They wrapped him completely and constricted him tightly. In an instant, Miller let out miserable screams. His eyes looked blank, his tongue was stretched out, and his face was as pale as paper, while blood oozed out of every pore in his body.
“Ah! Save me, save me!” The team leader Miller, who had been so arrogant a while ago, called for help at the top of his lungs. His limbs struggled strongly, but it was a pity that it was a futile effort. His struggles quickly turned weaker, and his cries’ sound grew softer. He was strangled in front of everybody!
The Thousand-handed Blood Vine Elizabeth, who held the large God Slaughtering Arrow, revealed once again the terror of her elusive blood vines.
Roar!
As silver light flickered, a group of ferocious Twin-legged Flying Dragons appeared suddenly in the air. This group was commanded by the Flying Dragon King Seylius, and they pounced at the soldiers. Soon after, silver light flashed again and a large group of Sea Dragons, along with some Dark Dragons, appeared. This was still not the end; the silver light appeared again, and a group of Mammoth Cavalry armed to the teeth appeared…
Many groups of ferocious Magical Beasts appeared in succession, and they delivered repeated grave blows to the soldiers’ nerves.
Upon getting the warning, the soldiers defending the Crystal Mine were ordered by Commander Brian to rush there swiftly. They had 10,000 troops and 1000 elites with God-Level Power among them. As for the rest, their power was, at a minimum, at the peak of the Sacred-Level. They were very powerful, and they were more than enough to guard a Crystal Mine. But it was a pity for them that they didn’t come across their old opponent, Black Wood Domain’s men, but the Magical Beast Domain’s Magical Beast Army.
The bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts instantly covered the land and the sky alike. They surrounded the Giant Dragon Domain’s soldiers, and they fought jointly under the command of the Magical Beast Army’s commander, the Corpse Wizard King. They launched ferocious attacks!
In the air, Horned Dragons, Dark Dragons, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, and other strong aircraft-like Magical Beasts hovered, and they tore the enemy’s leaders to shreds. As for the Vampire Bats, Horned Bee Beasts, and other Low-Level Magical Beasts, they seized this opportunity to swarm around the enemy. On the ground, the tank-like Mammoth Heavy Cavalry, clad in heavy armor, ran left and right. They cut a bloody path. As for the Burning Fire Elves, Evil Eyes, and other Magical Beasts, they fired attacks at the enemies ceaselessly.
The Magical Beast Army didn’t have many God-Level Magical Beasts, but it still had powerful elites, such as the Dark Dragon King, Horned Dragon King, Giant Ape King, and other strong Magical Beasts. Those were powerful generals that could take a hundred enemies alone. They launched powerful attacks upon their enemies, and the enemy army that had only forces with a Low-Level Deity’s power was no match for them.
The Corpse Wizard King’s Death Ripples, the Giant Ape King’s Army Extermination, and the Burning Fire Elf King’s Burning Fire showed the Giant Dragon Domain’s soldiers the terror of High-Level Deities. Each Magical Beast’s individual power was very strong, and upon casting the Demon God Battle Formation and fighting in coordination, their offensive power reached a terrifying level.
Even a Low-Level Divine Duty Expert would suffer upon facing the Corpse Wizard King, Ophelia, and their companions who cast the Demon God Battle Formation, let alone these soldiers with only Low-Level Deity Power. Those soldiers’ formation had already dissolved into chaos, and they were essentially fighting by themselves.
A group of wolves commanded by a sheep was usually weaker than a group of sheep commanded by a wolf. In addition, it was the Magical Beast Army, which always fought in cooperation with each other. The army was led by God-Level Magical Beasts, and even the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats, and other Low-Level Magical Beasts managed to release great power.
“Get into formation, hurry up! Get into formation!”
“Anyone who retreats will die; resist them!”
….
The Giant Dragon Domain’s commander issued orders repeatedly and tried to organize their forces to resist the Magical Beast Army’s fierce attacks. But it was a futile effort. They faced the Magical Beast Army’s vicious attack. Each time a team of soldiers assembled, the Horned Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, and other strong Magical Beasts would rush at them and force them to disperse, all before the captain could issue any orders.
The soldiers couldn’t seek the commander, and the commander couldn’t seek the soldiers. Every person was fighting by himself!
The army defending the Giant Dragon Domain’s Crystal Mine quickly succumbed to the Magical Beast Army’s sharp attacks, and their formation fell into a mess. This was a one-sided slaughter, and they couldn’t even fight back. Innumerable people were killed by the Corpse Wizard King, Giant Ape King, and others.
“Retreat, retreat quickly!”
Upon seeing the strong Magical Beasts covering both the land and skies, Brian understood that they’d lost any advantages they had, and he could only issue the retreat command helplessly. For the past few years, the army commanded by him had repeatedly blocked surprise attacks from the Black Wood Domain. He was the commander of this army, and he was quite well-off. In several months, he would even get a chance to get a big fiefdom. He didn’t expect that they would be defeated by an unknown enemy on this day.
He was the defensive army’s commander, and he couldn’t accept this disastrous defeat. But he still couldn’t do anything in the face of all the terrifying Magical Beasts.
“Sir, let’s go. If you don’t leave now, you won’t get to do so in time.” The defeated army was in total collapse, and upon seeing this, several personal guards stayed next to Brain and protected him firmly before they urged him to leave quickly. The Magical Beast Army’s circle tightened, and their attacks turned more ferocious. If they didn’t leave right away, they wouldn’t have enough time to do so.
In the Giant Dragon Mountain Range, wars were always very brutal. If one fell in the enemy’s hands, he would be quite lucky to retain an intact corpse. Upon seeing the bloodthirsty and berserk Magical Beasts, Brian’s personal guards turned pale. Even the bravest soldiers didn’t have the courage to stay here and fight to the death.
“If we don’t leave, we won’t have time to do so?” Brian looked bitterly at the Black Crystal Mine, which he’d guarded for so many years. He felt quite unwell, and he let out a sigh before he turned around decisively. He led his personal guards and left quickly. However, an ear-piercing sound could be heard behind him before he could get far away.
Swoosh!
A black light flashed through the air, and Brian, who had a High-Level Deity’s power, lowered his head and looked in disbelief at the arrow that had penetrated his chest. He opened his right hand and held the arrow tightly. Scarlet blood gushed out of the wound, and he felt an intense stab of pain, as well an itchy and numb feeling. His consciousness turned muddled, and he fell down. But, before he fell, he saw a flag with a five-pawed golden dragon depicted on it. This dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws!
The Shadow Wizard Winnink had set his eyes on the commander Brian long ago, and it was impossible to dodge the swift God-Slaughtering Arrow.
A single deadly arrow!
“Sir, Sir…”
“Sir…”
….
Brian’s personal guards turned pale with fright. They didn’t expect that Brian, with his High-Level Deity’s power, would be shot to death by a single arrow. After the guards got over their shock, they carried Brian’s corpse on their backs and tried to rush away. But after a sudden roar echoed out, they were instantly engulfed by a large group of bloodthirsty Magical Beasts.
