Triste’s collection world.
The ice layer.
There was silence in the ghost army’s camp.
They were all quietly reorganizing themselves.
They were soldiers created by [Order], tools.
Because of that,[Order]’s upgrading wasn’t necessarily going to bring them any benefit.
——-at most, the only benefit they would get was that to exist a bit longer.
For now, the ghosts and revenants were silently waiting for the [Order] to wake up.
At that time, they would keep on following the [Order]’s directives like they always had.
But about a kilometer away from the ghost army’s camp, resounding cheers and celebration could be heard.
That was the demonized’s camp.
2 million demonized had set up camps all over the frozen wastelands.
They gathered to party and celebrate this campaign’s total victory while they waited for [Origin] to finish evolving.
A few hours ago, [Origin] had entered a dormant state.
And it was currently undergoing a final evolution.
The [Demon King Order] had gotten what it wanted, and the war was over.
When [Origin] becomes [Revolution], every demonized would obtain greatly increased strength.
There will be more supportive functions, better equipment, better skills and abilities, and naturally, better Quests with more substantial rewards.
This was what they were looking forward to.
The demonized were fully satisfied.
They all immersed themselves in the frenzied celebration.
However, as excellent Combatants, they still hadn’t completely lowered their guards.
A few unlucky b.a.s.t.a.r.ds who happened to be weaker were selected to be on guard at the perimeters of the camp.
Being on guard was a tiring and meaningless necessary job.
These guards stood still in the snowstorm, bored and annoyed out of their minds, carefully watching for any movements.
—-as if there would be any f.u.c.king movements!
The entire ice layer is barren, what kind of movement would there be!?
Even though they were all upset, they still couldn’t help but obey their orders to stand guard around the camp.
All of a sudden, the ice layer shook.
After a brief moment of being stunned, they all became cautious.
Boom!
The layer of ice suddenly broke apart, forming a hole about several meters wide.
A ferocious face appeared from under the ice, followed by its huge body.
A revenant.
A huge revenant had just appeared in front of the demonized’s camp.
Two demonized people came to face it.
“Stop! This is our turf”
“What are you doing here?”
They spoke up at the same time.
The giant revenant didn’t bother to answer and simply roared angrily to the sky.
This roar caught the attention of more demonized.
A leader-looking demonized came out.
“What happened?” he asked.
“Don’t know, it didn’t bother to tell us” one of the guards reported.
The leader-looking demonized smirked and spoke: “Then I’ll do it myself”
“Revenant, what are you doing coming to our place?”
The giant revenant loudly roared: 「 You bunch of slaves, too noisy, affecting our rest 」
Hearing that, the leader-looking demonized person’s smile slowly faded.
Slave?
This was the most sensitive word to the demonized as a whole.
“Revenant, what do you want?” the leader’s face became stiff as he asked.
The giant revenant breathed heavily and shouted: 「 Now, you slaves, must shut up and give peace and quiet!!! 」
——-and you’re demanding us to stay quiet as well?
Never mind whether or not we can actually affect you all the way over there, you f.u.c.ker dared to speak this way to me?
The leader became angry and coldly smirked: “How unfortunate, there’s so many of us, we’re like this. If you don’t like it then you can scram”
More and more demonized understood the situation as they got closer, shouted and cursed at the revenant as well.
“You’re nothing but the [Order]’s tool and you dare to show us up?”
“They can’t exchange for anything, have no Soul Points and can only follow orders”
“Who are you kidding? They’re the real slaves here”
“Scram, get the f.u.c.k away from us as far as you can!”
The giant revenant looked around, then spoke: 「 We’ll leave, but if anything happens, don’t even think to ask us to protect you! 」
Hearing that, all the demonized laughed.
“You mindless ghosts, there’s 2 million of us here!”
“Who needs your protection!”
“Scram!”
The giant revenant paid no more attention to them and turned to go back towards the ghost army’s camp.
While the giant revenant and the demonized were talking.
At the back of the ghost army’s camp.
An ancient looking sword silently appeared below the ice.
It pierced the ice, lightly moved around, swinging and cutting.
With the power of 86,370,000 tons of weight and the layer of sword phantom, the ice was no different from paper to it.
The sword moved quickly, going in the direction opposite of the demonized’s camp as it kept breaking the ice.
Behind it, the cut blocks of ice dropped into the ocean, creating a sea of ice bergs.
Naturally, such a huge commotion wouldn’t escape the ghost’s attention.
But before they could do anything, the situation had changed——-
Below the camp, the vast ocean lightly lifted everything upwards.
Being lifted by the water, the entire camp wasn’t tilting at all, it simply rested squarely above the layer of ice.
Below that, the seawater was constantly swirling and churning to form a tsunami completely made of ice and water.
The ghost army’s camp was swept away by the tsunami, carried away by the waves!
Naturally, the demonized saw this magnificent sight.
But seeing what was happening 1 kilometers away, they only stood laughing and raining jeers at the camp without showing any intention to chase after it.
They simply watched as the water picked itself up, formed a tsunami and carried the whole ghost army’s camp of 100,000 away from them!
The ghosts didn’t understand what was happening at all.
A few particularly smart ghosts quickly checked the tide below, noticed the laughing and jeering demonized far away and quickly realized what was happening.
——so this was a prank by the demonized.
What a bunch of s.h.i.+tty beings.
On another side.
At the bottom of the ocean.
Time slowly pa.s.sed.
One breath,
Two breaths,
Five breaths,
Ten breaths.
This was the limit.
Even with the ancient armor’s protection, being surrounded by lightning on all sides without any gaps, Gu Qing Shan still suffered a few minor wounds.
There was now too much Tribulation Lightning for him to keep on dodging.
This is as perfect as it’s going to get!
Gu Qing Shan leapt upwards, leaving the bottom of the ocean as he headed up towards the ghost army’s camp.
A few moments later, he caught up with them.
At this point, the Earth sword was still continuing to break the ice of the army’s camp.
The Chao Yin sword was constantly using [Even a sea of suffering shall pa.s.s] to carry the ghost army forward.
Only the Six Paths Great Mountain sword returned to him.
“How is it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“I turned into a ghost and temporarily managed to fool their leader, but once the Tribulation Lightning appears, these demonized might notice right away
Shannu’s worried voice came from the sword.
“What are you afraid of?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Gongzi, there are 2 million of them”
Gu Qing Shan laughed and told her: “It doesn’t matter, we bought enough time already. Now that they’ve been separated this much, with the current speed of the tsunami, even if the demonized noticed the truth, they wouldn’t be able to catch up”
He held the sword tight.
Just a bit below him, an endless sea of lightning was about to catch up.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword to break the layer of ice above and took to the sky.
Followed by countless...o...b.. of lightning.
Gu Qing Shan quickly selected his target and activated [Ground Shrink]
He disappeared from the air and appeared in the middle of the ghost army’s camp.
「 Human—— but not a demonized! 」
The ghosts shouted.
They immediately prepared to attack and rip this human to shreds.
Gu Qing Shan smiled apologetically.
“I’m sorry, but you have more important things to worry about than killing me”
He pointed all around.
The ghosts wouldn’t bother to listen to his nonsense.
——-but they indeed didn’t attack.
Because a presence that brought absolute terror to them had appeared.
It was their natural born fear, an insurmountable force, a great power of heaven and earth that perfectly countered their existence.
The ghosts and revenants looked around.
Elemental Lightning?
No! This is a type of lightning even more ferocious than that!
Countless bolts and orbs of blue, white and crimson lightning came out from the frozen ocean.
This lightning appeared all over the perimeter of the camp and quickly filled their visions
Besides the orbs and bolts, there were also several hundred arms made completely from lightning that held crimson whips of lightning in their hands.
——–as time pa.s.sed, more and more Manifestation Lightning was created inside the Tribulation clouds.
The entire camp was now surrounded by Tribulation Lightning.
A second later.
With the center of the ghost army’s camp as the target, all of the lightning struck down!
