Chapter 440: War!
Stormhoof sneered when he saw Ren Shuang taking Cornelia away. He then glanced at Balmond and then to Yue Bo who stood beside him. A contemptuous smile flashed on his face before he spat a mouthful of spit. "Balmond, you"ve sullied the reputation of the Demon Race by mingling with these humans! Have you forgotten the war fifty thousand years ago?! Many of our ancestors and friends died at the hands of those humans! You disgust me!"
Balmond was unaffected by his words.
"You"ve been a fool your entire life, Stormhoof! Even until now you still are! You just haven"t seen what true power is yet! I"ve seen it myself and it made me realize how weak I am! But it"s still not too late for you. I"ll give you guys one last chance... Stop this farce all at once and I"ll let this matter go!" Balmond muttered as he looked at Herald and Stormhoof.
He didn"t want to fight against the two families. After all, their Bloodfallen Family was once close to the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family. The three families created the Great Demon Empire together and he didn"t want to fight against them. Once their three families start to fight for the throne, the overall strength of the Great Demon Empire would be severely impacted. It wouldn"t be good if that happens since there are a lot of representatives from many major powers spectating in secret.
Hearing this, Stormhoof"s face turned cold. "You think your Bloodfallen Family is still as strong as it was before?! Naive! Balmond, I advise you to surrender. I promise that I will give you a quick death!" Stormhoof took out a giant hammer from his s.p.a.ce ring and pointed it towards Balmond.
Balmond sighed and shook his head as he replied. "Since it has come to this, let"s fight!"
He then blasted a huge hole from the ceiling and flew above the clouds.
Seeing this, Stormhoof and Herald immediately followed him. Yue Bo also took out his weapon as he joined them.
If you"re asking why Balmond suddenly decided to go into the sky. Simple. He didn"t want to destroy the whole city! A huge part of the Great Demon Empire would be damaged if they fought on land. Stormhoof, Herald, and Yue Bo also knew this point, so they unhesitatingly followed him above the clouds.
As Void G.o.d Realm experts, their battle was so devastating that just the shockwaves of their battle alone could already shatter mountains!
Stormhoof and Herald might be staging a rebellion, but they didn"t want to win a broken empire...
Soon, the four Void G.o.d Realm experts released their powers and began fighting!
Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
Ear-splitting sounds of explosions reverberated within the skies and even the people below could feel the terrifying shockwaves coming from above!
Meanwhile, the army of the Bloodfallen Family began battling the soldiers of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family!
War cries and bugle horns echoed throughout the city, signaling the start of the war!
Artaurus Bloodfallen had now recovered his strength. Although he didn"t manage to break through, he became more proficient in using his spiritual force!
With a skull wand in his hand, Artaurus created huge fireb.a.l.l.s and threw them towards the opposing army.
"s.h.i.+elders, raise your s.h.i.+elds!" Artaurus shouted towards the soldiers. His spells were quite strong and it would be disastrous if an ally would die under his attack.
The huge and muscular demons in the frontlines immediately lifted their s.h.i.+elds in a circular formation while protecting their comrades.
Hundreds of blazing fire b.a.l.l.s descended to the ground and burned the soldiers of the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family.
Ahhh!
Sharp cries rang out as more than several dozen unlucky soldiers were burned!
However, the fall of their comrades only fueled their ire. They soon gathered into a protective formation and pounced towards the army of the Bloodfallen Family!
Despite the difference in firepower, the two armies soon entered a stalemate due to the numerical advantage of the Lycan Family and Torgrim Family.
Suddenly, several hundred figures dressed in black robes came and threw gla.s.s bottles filled with hideous-looking purple liquid towards the army of the Bloodfallen Family.
Seeing this, Bylor who was among the soldiers of the Torgrim Family revealed a dark smile. "Let"s see how you guys will react with the poison of the Poison Valley. Hahaha!"
These black-robed figures were poison experts from the Poison Valley and the gla.s.s bottles they threw were filled with powerful poisons that they personally concocted! Even Bylor could not help but s.h.i.+ver when he recalled the effects of the poison. Luckily, they had already consumed the antidote beforehand.
However, Bylor"s expression turned unsightly when he saw that the soldiers of the Bloodfallen Family were unaffected by the poison. "What"s happening?! How come they are not affected?! F*ck!"
Bylor cursed the Poison Valley in his heart.
"Hahaha! Your poisons are useless to us, idiots!" Artaurus laughed in disdain when he saw the ugly expression of Bylor. They had already consumed an antidote created by the alchemists of the Heavenly Sword Tower"s Pill Division! He couldn"t help but feel amazed with those alchemists. After all, the poisons made by the Poison Valley were notorious for being destructive and corrosive!
When Bylor heard the mocking laughter, his face turned darker. "Elders! Summon the undead army and flatten these pieces of sh*t from the Bloodfallen Family!"
Following his furious voice, a huge army of undead suddenly joined the fray!
More than twenty thousand undead soldiers pounced towards them without fear!
The Valley Master of the Poison Valley also came and joined the battle! With his strength as a Void G.o.d Realm expert, hundreds of soldiers from the Bloodfallen Family immediately died under his poison arts!
But then, three figures soon appeared before him.
Seeing these three individuals, Artaurus heaved a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, they"re here.." He muttered while looking at the figures of Long Meili, Ice, and Aren.
