Chapter 452: Burn Chaos to Ashes!

【The loyal and brave Prince Kelin arrived at the port of Thunder City today. However, when he learned that Princess Ailin was fulfilling a sacred mission in the Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng, he would not stop for even a moment and immediately rushed to the front line outside Torrent Pass.

He said he could not leave the girl he loved alone in such a dangerous place, and he would find her at all costs!

Oh, Holy Saint Xisi above, let us pray for this sincere affection! May the Holy Light protect the two of them! Although he is a magician, he is a true knight!

It is worth mentioning that this time Prince Kelin did not return to this port that haunts his dreams alone; accompanying him was Ai Sa Ke Jifeng, an envoy from the Ancient Gustav United Kingdom.

Speaking of the name Gustav, that is a story from a long time ago.

A long, long time ago, in the distant First Epoch, before the Holy Light shone on this ignorant and barbaric land beneath our feet, the descendants of the Dragon God were once our allies.

Of course, I am talking about the true descendants of the Dragon God, not the group of ugly stink bugs crawling in the southwestern swamps...

——《Thunder City Daily》】

The arrival of Ai Sa Ke Jifeng ignited the enthusiasm of the citizens of Thunder City, especially when they learned that he was also a Prince.

For the sake of gold, that Lizard face seemed quite cute too. Especially when they learned that in the distant Gana Continent, the Lizardmen of the Wind-Roar State could even use gold to make floor tiles...

Regardless of whether Ai Sa Ke could successfully keep his Lizard skin and complete the task Lord Demon King gave him, Blanshia, who was lying in ambush on the southern border of the Quemubao territory, finally waited for her prey after several days of waiting...

In the boundless forest, an army of about 100,000 people was marching with high morale, heading toward the direction of Quemubao.

In the military formation, a burly man was sitting astride the back of a grey giant bear about three meters high.

He wore heavy leather armor on his chest and held a coiled long whip in his hand; his face was as fierce as a ghost beast, and although he was missing an eye, it did not affect his awe-inspiring murderous aura in the slightest.

His name was Slone, nicknamed "Black Beast."

In the Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng of the Kingdom of Lei En, that was a name that made countless Kingdom officers and knights tremble with fear, just because he had once driven tens of thousands of beasts to bite everyone in an entire castle to death.

And that was even when the other side had already surrendered.

Although there was likely an exaggerated component to the number of beasts, the event was undoubtedly true; otherwise, he would not have become a Platinum-tier powerhouse because of the favor of Chaos.

Some say he was previously an animal trainer who decided to revolt because a knight's squire shot his beloved dog to death; others say he was a clown raised in a castle by some lord, and was thrown into the arena to feed the lions because he had an affair with the lord's wife.

But regardless of what kind of past he had, at this moment he had clearly drawn a line with the weak self of the past, becoming an existence that made everyone talk about him with fear.

Now it was his turn to throw people he didn't like into the beast cage.

It was just that for some reason, he, who should have looked down on everything and looked down on all sides, was feeling uneasy at this moment, always feeling that a pair of eyes in the dark was watching him.

Is it Chaos?

The great true god Urgos finally truly noticed his sacrifice and cast his love and praise toward him.

Or...

Is it Saint Xisi who has targeted him? His cruelty finally brought the wrath and hostility of the gods.

Thinking of this, Slone not only had no fear on his face, but instead, a cruel smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

If that was the case, that would be truly great.

He had walked all the way to today, wasn't it just for this?

Perhaps his boss Kailan had thought about establishing a more equal kingdom, or something else, but he had never thought about it.

His wish had been only one from beginning to end—

That was to take revenge on Saint Xisi!

Regardless of whether the Saintess of the Quemubao territory was the real thing or a fake, he swore he would use the most cruel way to smash that guy who was playing god to ashes, let her watch with her own eyes the light she believed in disappear in front of her, and also let Saint Xisi regret sending his servant to this land!

He couldn't wait!

Looking at the dense forest ahead, Slone, riding on the bear's back, narrowed his single eye and called out to his subordinates marching on the side.

"How much further do we have?"

Hearing the boss's voice, the captain of the personal guards didn't dare to be negligent and hurriedly reported.

"Report to the leader, we can reach Creek Village in the south of Quemubao territory by nightfall at the latest."

Slone raised his hand, impatiently interrupting his words.

"I didn't ask you how far it is to that village; I'm asking you how much further it is to Quemubao!"

The captain of the personal guards broke out in cold sweat and said tremblingly.

"This... it's estimated to be another three days' journey."

Three days?

Slone made a "tsk" sound in his mouth.

What a mood killer.

"Too slow!"

Just as his voice fell, a light laugh suddenly came from not far away.

"Is that so—"

"Then let's end it quickly."

Before he could recover from what that sound was, and where that sound came from, the sound of insects like locusts crossing the border suddenly rang out in the air!

In just an instant—

A sudden change occurred!

"Chi chi chi—!"

Accompanied by the overwhelming buzzing, dense arrows suddenly descended from the sky, like a sudden rainstorm!

Each arrow was tied with a bell, like the sickle of the god of death, harvesting the lives of thousands of soldiers in an instant!

The vanguard troops following Slone were caught off guard, falling into chaos amidst screams, suffering heavy casualties!

Slone was shocked, his legs clamped tightly, and he stood up from the broad back of the bear, waving his long whip to split the arrow rain that was pouring down!

However, the whip in his hand was only four or five meters long; blocking the arrows shot at him was a piece of cake, but wanting to cover the entire vanguard was still a bit of wishful thinking.

The arrow rain did not stop at all.

Wave after wave fell from the sky, continuously harvesting the soldiers of his Green Forest Army, and at the same time bringing down fear with that deathly scream.

Watching the brothers who were shot into hedgehogs one after another and fell to the ground, Slone's eyes were about to split, his teeth clenched, making a creaking sound.

This group of rats who only dared to sneak attack!

He raised his right arm high, his long whip shook in the air, making a thunderous explosion, and at the same time roared at his subordinates who had fallen into chaos.

"Steady! Don't lose your formation! A group of rats also wants to ambush us? Follow me forward and crush that witch's ambush!"

Slone did have Platinum-tier strength; this roar like a beating drum really saved a bit of the morale of the vanguard that was on the verge of collapse.

Two cavalry units emerged from the flanks of the vanguard, and under the leadership of two centurions, killed their way toward the direction where the arrow rain came from.

However, something unexpected happened to them.

Just as they were rushing halfway, milky white silk threads suddenly pulled up in the forest, just colliding with the galloping horse hooves!

"Whoa—!"

Panicked neighing rose and fell in the forest; one warhorse after another had its legs tripped, and man and horse flew forward together.

Before the two cavalry units could figure out the situation, half-human-high spiders suddenly appeared under the shadows of the forest...

A Green Forest Army officer's pupils shrank, and he screamed in shock.

"It's Cave Spiders!!!"

Cave Spiders?!

The group of green-turbaned men all stood on the spot in astonishment, including Slone, who was riding on the bear's back, who stared wide-eyed and was stunned for two seconds.

How could Cave Spiders appear here?!

They didn't know that in the neighboring Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng, Cave Spiders were not only common magical beasts in the Wan Ren Mountains, but also the mount of the Flame King.

Since there were even "Holy Spirits" under the Saintess, Cave Spiders were naturally not surprising.

"Awoooo! Brothers! They took the bait!"

"Mine! It's all my experience!"

"It's dining time, ga ga ga!"

A group of spiders rushed up excitedly, among which were mixed a few "Spider Cavalry" riding Cave Spiders to charge.

Riding on the back of 【National Server's First Pig】, 【Long Xing Wan Li】 waved the harpoon in his hand, shouting excitedly "Kill kill kill!", as mighty as a god of war in the world!

Because the relationship between the Great Graveyard and the surface humans was too harmonious, and the internal strife had long been settled, he hadn't had such a hearty battle for a long time!

Now was the time for him to show the bravery of the Longxing Tianxia Guild!

Seeing that his cavalry unit and vanguard were all nailed to the position by the ambush, Slone finally couldn't sit still, cursed loudly, waved his long whip, and led his personal guards to charge over himself.

The charging giant bear was like a carriage crashing in the forest; the pine trees blocking in front of it were broken one after another, to the point that they flew up by the roots.

Looking at the BOSS charging over, Long Xing Wan Li's eyes lit up, he shouted "Well come!", and then carried his harpoon and killed his way up!

One man and one lizard fought together!

That sharp harpoon hadn't poked the bear skin of the grey bear when it was slapped away, spider and lizard together, by a palm as big as a door panel.

Long Xing Wan Li hadn't reacted to what happened when he saw himself cut into two halves, cursing "Not satisfying at all!"

Seeing his boss "cut under the horse," 【Longxing · Super Fierce Warrior】 following closely behind hurriedly raised his magic wand and roared loudly.

"Resurrect, my old iron!"

A ghostly green light drilled into Long Xing Wan Li's broken body, pulling him, who was almost offline, back online, rising again in the posture of an undead Lizardman!

"Well done—"

Wanli shouted loudly, grabbed the harpoon and was about to fight for another three hundred rounds, but another fierce gale attacked, slapping him and that "well done" he didn't have time to say into meat paste.

"Roar—!" The grey giant bear roared, pressed its front paws on the ground and ground them twice, confirming that the fly had been completely stepped into meat paste.

Slone disgustedly clicked his tongue, waved his right hand's long whip, smashed the skeleton mage trying to cast a spell, and then reached out with his left hand, pinched the arrow shot at his temple and threw it back.

Only hearing a "whoosh" of breaking air, 【Longxing Baili】, who was drawing his bow and arrow, hadn't seen the BOSS's move clearly when he was nailed to the big tree behind him.

【Failed Eel】, who was carrying him, was startled and turned to run, but hadn't even scurried out two meters when he was whipped into spider mud.

Failed Eel: "I'll be damned! This BOSS is too heaven-defying, right!?"

【Longxing Qianli】, holding a sword and shield, looked shocked, but seeing Wanli and Baili already offline, finally gritted his teeth, raised his shield and rushed up.

"Ooooo!"

No surprise—

She went down too.

Even though the Silver-tier skeleton soldiers were already able to beat a crowd of blind adventurers, they were undoubtedly still scum in front of a true high-level transcendent.

【Ye Zhiqiu】 was very sensible and didn't go up, but wandered on the edge of the battlefield, picking those easy-to-deal-with miscellaneous soldiers to handle with 【Hu Wan】.

But such old silver coins were rare after all.

The vast majority of players of course still aimed at the World BOSS with higher rewards; after all, it didn't cost money to die, and if they won, they would make a fortune!

Looking at the miscellaneous fish continuously rushing toward him, Slone's face was full of disgust.

Although their attacks didn't cause him substantial damage, there were too many of them, and wave after wave, there was simply no end in sight.

Many ants can also bite an elephant to death.

Although they were still far from it, Slone didn't intend to continue entangling with them; the boisterous arrow rain was still continuously sprinkling on his position.

These miscellaneous soldiers could be left to the brothers behind him; the urgent matter now was to solve the enemy's archer position!

Just as he roared and urged the giant bear under his crotch to charge forward again, a dangerous omen suddenly approached his brow.

Slone's heart tightened, and relying on the instinct honed by fighting on the battlefield, he flipped and jumped down from the bear's back!

And almost at the same time, a black lightning bolt struck the top of his mount's head, so fast he almost didn't see it clearly!

"Boom—!"

The three-meter-high giant bear collapsed, the bloodthirsty bear head was completely gone, leaving only a ground of pitch-black charred remains and bloodstains.

Slone's eyes widened, too late to mourn for his mount, staring fixedly at the direction the lightning came from, not daring to move his eyes for a moment.

What was that?

Magic?

But it didn't look like it...

Just as his thoughts were turning and analyzing, a pitch-black evening dress appeared silently in the shadows under the pine tree ahead.

It was a woman with pale skin; a lazy smile hung on her face, as if she was out of place with the bloody atmosphere around her. However, those purple pupils emitted an aura like a demon, making people not dare to take her laziness lightly.

"Damn! It's Blanshia!"

"MMP! I knew it was a plot kill again!"

"No!!! My experience!"

Howling and crying voices rose and fell.

Seeing the "Thorn Demon General" Blanshia suddenly appear on the battlefield, the players who were besieging the BOSS immediately made cursing sounds.

Only the truly smart little leeks didn't complain, but took advantage of the fact that neither of the two big shots noticed them, and hunted those remnants they could deal with on the battlefield.

Having long been accustomed to the strange servants of Lord Demon King, Blanshia's face showed no surprise, just yawning at the Green Forest Army leader who was facing a formidable enemy.

"A group of noisy guys... just relying on this level of ants, you dare to challenge my respected Majesty?"

"Hehe, truly overestimating your own capabilities."

Majesty?

Is it the King of the Lei En Kingdom?

Slone stared fixedly at this woman of unknown origin, a ferocious look gradually rising on his face, and transcendent power condensed on the long whip in his hand.

"Another running dog of Saint Xisi... then let me see what skills you have to dare to speak such wild words in front of me!"

"Hmm... Saint Xisi?"

Blanshia looked at her fingernails listlessly, looking through the gaps in her fingers at that gradually twisting face and the aura condensed in that hand, a playful smile suddenly curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"Poor guy, it seems you don't even know who your opponent is—"

Slone didn't wait for her to finish speaking, having already taken the lead, a long whip as swift as lightning, straight toward Blanshia's face!

"Pa—!"

The pine tree that two people could embrace was like being hit by a cannonball, blown into fragments with roots and soil, blowing backward with the boisterous wind!

Looking at the deep trench left on the ground, Slone had no luck of a successful sneak attack, but instead, his heart sank to the bottom.

Such fast speed!

He didn't even see clearly how that woman dodged, let alone where she dodged to!

Just when he was astonished in his heart, a shallow laugh suddenly came from directly behind him, and then a short scream rang out.

Slone turned his head abruptly to look, only to see his personal guard captain's eyes wide open, as if grabbed by an invisible hand by the throat, unable to make a sound.

Immediately the next second, scarlet branches drilled out of his mouth and nose, and then two eyeballs also fell to the ground with a "pa da" sound.

Scarlet flower stamens broke through his chest and grew at an incredible speed, devouring all the flesh and blood of his whole body, leaving only a skeleton standing on the spot like a vine rack, and not long after, even the skeleton was swallowed into the wildly growing stamens and thorns.

The woman who had disappeared reappeared.

And she was standing in the middle of the blooming blood-colored flowers; the diffusing blood didn't dirty the pitch-black evening dress long skirt in the slightest.

Behind that lazy smile, dozens of Green Forest Army personal guards were like ants caught by man-eating vines, all following in the footsteps of the captain of the personal guards, having all their blood and vitality drained by the scarlet tender buds!

Being watched by those creepy eyes, Slone only felt the hair all over his body stand up, and his joints trembled uncontrollably.

Such terrifying strength!

It wasn't that he hadn't encountered powerful opponents, but it was the first time he had encountered such insidious and ruthless moves, to the point that a terrible thought couldn't help but arise in his heart—

"Are you... a demon from hell?!"

But how could a demon be with a Saintess?!

And—

Logically speaking, a demon of the same level couldn't beat a knight of the same level, and his strength was even above a knight of the same level, even leading by a level, he could fight it out!

Could this guy be at the peak of Diamond-tier?!

Or even Purple Crystal-tier?!

"Smart."

Looking at the Green Forest Army leader in shock in front of her, Blanshia's face showed an appreciative smile, but her voice was as cold as ever.

"As a reward for the bug, I will make a special exception and allow your flesh and blood to become fertilizer for the thorns under my feet."

"Dream on!!!"

Slone roared, slapped his hands on his chest, and ghostly blue curse marks suddenly surged between his palms, turning into chains flying in all directions, pulling hundreds of ghostly blue beasts to crowd in front of him!

One magical beast after another gnashed their teeth and sucked blood, staring at Blanshia standing on the bloody thorns, making low hisses, rubbing their front paws.

Among them were Nether Wolves, Hell Hounds, and some strange guys whose names he couldn't call out... even the giant bear that died earlier was among them!

They were all the souls of dead magical beasts!

A hint of surprise rose on Blanshia's face, but it was only surprise, not putting those strange-looking magical beasts in her eyes at all.

"Oh? Still have a backup plan?"

"Go to hell!"

Slone laughed wildly, gripped his right fist hard, and the restless Chaos power instantly shattered the chains that had formed in his palms!

Ten thousand beasts galloping—

"Roar—!"

Hundreds of fierce beasts were like wild horses that had broken their reins, rushing toward the demon standing in the pool of blood and thorns, trying to tear her apart!

However, just at this moment, a sudden change occurred again.

Seeing the galloping beast herd, Blanshia looked on with a smile that wasn't a smile, not even making any move, and the sound of breaking air "whoosh whoosh whoosh" descended from the sky, drowning the galloping beast herd in the boisterous arrow rain!

The ghostly blue souls were crushed to pieces by the demon-breaking arrows!

Slone's eyes widened, obviously not expecting it could be like this, and cursed loudly.

"Despicable trick!"

He roared, shook his wrist, and the long whip in his hand actually fell off section by section; the whip tip was like an arrow leaving the string, shooting toward Blanshia in the air with a harsh sound of breaking air.

However, seeing that this unexpected blow was about to hit the target, it was lightly slapped away by a thorn long whip that suddenly protruded from under Blanshia.

Just like slapping away a fly.

"Is that all the skill you have?"

Blanshia smiled contemptuously, looking at the astonished Slone; the blood-colored thorns under her suddenly erupted, spreading out behind her like a peacock opening its screen!

Seeing those scarlet thorns instantly turn into hundreds of twisting poisonous snakes, biting toward Slone from all directions!

Slone resisted with all his might, but in front of that airtight "whip shadow," all his movements seemed so slow and futile.

"It's over."

As Blanshia pointed her index finger forward, hundreds of thorns instantly tightened, binding him firmly and dragging him into the air alive.

Sharp spikes pierced into his flesh and blood, a scalding power tore at his nerves and began to devour his vitality.

"Ah ah ah!"

Slone's eyes were blood-red, and a trace of fear finally appeared on his ferocious face.

No—

His revenge had just begun, how could he fall here!

And he died at the hands of a demon!

At the moment of death, hallucinations appeared before his eyes, as if he saw the father and son and mother and daughter he had once thrown into a cage to fight with wild beasts waving at him...

After completing the grand sacrifice, he finally fell into a cage woven by another god before the new round of sacrifice began.

"Have a good dream."

Blanshia smiled and licked her lips, watching the skeleton that had been sucked dry disappear little by little into the twisting scarlet.

After digesting Slone's flesh and blood, she officially broke through the bottleneck of Diamond-tier, becoming the first Diamond-tier Demon General of the Great Graveyard!

And Slone, the "Black Beast" who made people in the entire Twilight Saint Saint Xingsheng tremble with fear, just turned into fertilizer, swallowed in the blooming thorn bush.

The battle in the distance was still continuing; the arrow rain of the Black Dragon Crossbowmen fell wave after wave, shooting the Green Forest Army's central army into a rout.

The skeleton army lurking under the hills began to advance, and the suddenly awakened steel torrent caught the Green Forest Army trying to rush up off guard.

The bandit leader was dead.

Facing the continuous casualties, even with an army of 100,000, collapse was only a matter of time!

Without looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, Blanshia turned to face the tree shadows stretched by the sunset, her slender fingernails lifting her skirt to bow slightly.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my performance?"

She knew that Lord was watching.

The butterfly resting on the treetop gently flapped its wings, seemingly leaving the evaluation "not bad," and then flew into the depths of the forest.

At the same time, in the distant south of Griffin Cliff territory, on the corrupt plain completely swallowed by the Chaos plague, the whistling of blades finally subsided, leaving only the unwilling hisses of Chaos beasts before death, echoing in the thin air.

Hiding in the shadows of the hills, "Alchemist" Jean admired the figure fleeing in defeat through a telescope, a triumphant smile appearing on his twisted face.

So what if it's a demigod?

In front of the Chaos Legion he personally created, even the Rock Sword Saint is just a slightly stubborn stone.

Sure enough—

His strength is still above a demigod!

However, this pride did not last long.

In his telescope, a strange team soon appeared.

It was a group of burly dwarves, who were working together to push more than ten ferocious metal creations shaped like pipe organs, stepping heavily onto the edge of the battlefield.

The hair on the top of their heads was suspiciously lush, especially the "hair" of a few guys among them that was almost blown away.

However, this ridiculous scene still could not cover up the murderous aura on them, and even less could it make Jean take what they were doing lightly.

Seeing them carefully loading "firework crackers" thicker than thighs into thick, long iron pipes.

"What the hell?"

Jean muttered in a low voice, his hand holding the telescope moving closer, his heart becoming more and more confused.

Just at this moment, he suddenly saw one of the dwarves wave the short sword in his hand and roar "Fire!".

Before the voice fell, all the dwarves were like startled rabbits, scurrying away, hiding in the cover not far behind in a swarm.

The fuse burned to the end.

The next moment, on that silent position in the distance, a roar that seemed to come from the depths of hell suddenly rang out!

"Woo—!"

That was not one sound, but the simultaneous ringing of dozens!

Dazzling tail flames pushed dozens of rockets to pierce the sky, and bloomed with deathly roars and fireworks in the air! The scorching torrent was like a pouring rain, sprinkling toward the area where the Chaos beasts were most dense by the riverbank, and burning one after another!

Jean's eyes widened.

On the cold mirror of the monocular telescope, the sea of fire that burned everything was reflected, as well as his panicked and astonished expression.

That day, a doomsday-like fire rain descended on the south of Griffin Cliff.

Thinking about it, even the forbidden spell of the Great Sage would be nothing more than this... ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
