Chapter 185 185: Destiny Devourer
The Generals outside were informed that the city was under attack. They were already about to leave when a guard came running, conveying the Queen's words about how they were going to be killed if they didn't successfully deal with this matter fast.
Hearing those words, the Guards started sweating. They rushed towards the barrier that had cracked beyond limit.
They witnessed the chaotic scene outside. Unfortunately, as they reached the place, the barrier broke right before their eyes, shattering entirely.
The chaos escalated as the barrier shattered, and the Demons flooded into the core City.
The Generals felt a headache coming. They didn't know how they were going to explain this. They couldn't even protect the barrier on time, letting the Demons enter the Core Region.
Even though they were late, they weren't incompetent. All of them reacted fast. Even though the Number of Demons was higher than their numbers, but most of them decided to face multiple demons.
They fought fiercely, overwhelming the Demons by their sheer power. Albeit the healing of the Demons made it harder. Buildings were destroyed, and the streets were stained with blood as the battle raged on, with many in the core area dying as a collateral damage of the battle.
Amidst the chaos, Xu Shan observed the unfolding mayhem with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He had achieved his goal - to create a diversion and breach the core City's barrier.
"It's a pity that I can't use the pass of the General. But then again, there are more places I can use it on." He played with the pass he had taken from General Xue, before keeping it in his pocket.
Now, he had no further interest in the Demons nor the City. He calmly turned away from the scene, his footsteps taking him towards the core of the City.
As Xu Shan made his way towards the core of the City, he noticed the Clans' outer members joining the battle to show support, while the higher-ranking beings of the clans remained indifferent.
A sense of disdain flickered across his face as he passed them by. He knew that these outer members were just pawns, and their display of support was merely a show of face for their respective clans.
On the other hand, the important beings of the Clan didn't step out, as if this was beneath them. Another reason they didn't come out was because they believed the Generals were going to handle it themselves.
It was nothing more than a waste of time if they were to leave, only for the battle to end by the time they got there. They didn't take the enemies seriously.
As he ventured deeper into the City, his eyes remained on the Palace in the distance. At the moment, this was the perfect opportunity to sneak inside, especially since most of the Royal Guards were busy outside, no time to keep an eye on people entering or leaving the core City.
Meanwhile, back at the broken barrier, the Generals continued to fight valiantly against the relentless Demon horde. Though outnumbered, their experience and battle-hardened skills gave them an edge.
They didn't know that the Queen was looking at them. The Queen, standing on the balcony, observed the battle from the castle.
"To think that they would struggle against these weak things," she muttered. "Such wastes."
The Generals were slowly defeating the Demons, but not in an effective manner. The damage to the City was too much.
Seeing that damage, the Queen also couldn't stay idle, since her formation was spread throughout the core region of the City. Any damage could spoil the entire thing, forcing her to start from scratch.
She had thought that the Generals would at least be competent enough to know that they had to bring the Demons outside the core region, but she understood she overestimated them.
She rose in the air, flying towards the border of the core City and Outer Zone.
In a blink of an eye, she appeared high in the sky. Feeling her presence, the Generals looked up. They could feel that she was angry.
Not just them, but the Demons also looked up. Even though they were turned into artificial demons, at their core, they still had the instincts of a human. They felt threatened.
Before anyone could react, close to hundred Heavenly Swords appeared high in the sky. Every single Sword was over five meters long, made from the Celestial Energy.
Xu Shan stopped in his tracks, looking at the woman in the sky. The Woman held a black book in her hand. Just a single glance at her, and Xu Shan knew who that woman was.
The sky trembled as the hundred Heavenly Swords descended upon the chaotic battlefield, their blades glimmering with an eerie black aura.
The Demons and Generals below were paralyzed by the overwhelming pressure emanating from the Queen's powerful attack.
The Queen's eyes gleamed with fury as she shouted, her voice echoing across the City, "You incompetent fools! I entrusted the protection of this City to you, and yet you let it be overrun by these abominations!"
The Generals knew they had angered the Queen. They could only keep their heads down in regret. Fortunately, the Woman had no intention of attacking them.
Demons were not so fortunate. Many of them were caught in the onslaught and were obliterated on the spot.
Xu Shan, witnessing the carnage from afar. This was the strength of the Divine Queen, the woman who stood at the peak of the Divine World.
He tried observing the Divine Queen with the Book of Truth, but because the woman had a book as well, it didn't work. The interference was just too much.
All he could see was the basic information.
