Outside the Moonlight Palace, a Rescue Army soldier said nervously.
The usually brave man couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear.
After all,
compared to the terrifying calamity beasts, the barbarians of the Blazefrost Nation, who had been snarling at them earlier, now seemed almost gentle.
“Relax, that roar just now was quite far off. It’s not our fight. We just need to follow Lady Helibea’s orders and guard this area.”
An older soldier comforted him.
“True.”
The young man waved his hand, putting on an air of indifference.
However,
just as the soldier relaxed, a strange tremor came from beneath the earth.
The sudden shaking and some bizarre screeches immediately made the young soldier and the surrounding Rescue Army troops look uneasy and alert.
“What’s that sound?”
The next moment,
a spine-chilling coldness came from behind, causing everyone to quickly draw their weapons and glare warily behind them.
As their eyes swept toward the high walls of the Moonlight Palace, a sight that made their souls tremble came into view.
?!?
“Wha—what the hell?!”
Right then,
under the stunned and terrified gazes of the Rescue Army soldiers,
a huge, dark, terrifying claw slowly emerged from behind the wall,
followed by the phantom image of a pitch-black monster gradually taking shape before them.
Of course,
this was just the beginning.
Soon,
one,
two,
three,
ten,
a thousand,
…
Wreathed in eerie black mist, countless calamity beasts seemed to crawl out from the depths of hell, climbing over or passing through the outer walls of the Moonlight Palace, bringing endless terror and murderous intent as they roared and charged at them.
These calamity beasts had different visages, but all exuded a terrifying bloodlust.
Their eyes gleamed with crimson light, their roars shook the heavens and earth, as if they wanted to devour the entire world.
Before the Rescue Army soldiers could even form a defensive formation, the calamity beasts crashed into them like a black tsunami. The soldiers didn’t even have time to cry for help or scream before they were torn to pieces by the beasts’ claws, blood splattering everywhere. The screams echoed in the air, sending chills down everyone’s spine.
“Roooooar!!”
Amid the howling and the ravaging of the Abyssal force,
within moments, the Rescue Army soldiers stationed near the Moonlight Palace were completely devoured by these terrifying calamity beasts. The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was littered with torn bodies and limbs. The roars of the calamity beasts continued to reverberate, as if proclaiming their delight.
Although recently, the high-quality liquid Youka had obtained from Xiamiya had alleviated the calamity beasts’ hunger,
calamity beasts were still monsters driven by destruction and slaughter.
Lurking long-term in the Holy Domain or Moonlight Palace had undoubtedly caused them to accumulate a great deal of resentment.
They yearned for battle and carnage.
Therefore,
to prevent these calamity beasts from causing trouble out of sheer frustration, Youka took this opportunity to let them vent.
Now,
the sealed Holy Royal Palace was an excellent all-you-can-eat buffet for the calamity beasts~
And so,
amid the piercing alarms, one fierce battle after another erupted within the Holy Royal Palace.
Although the Rescue Army was an elite force guarding the border, they had little experience fighting calamity beasts.
Under the assault of the calamity beasts, they soon faced defeat.
The entire Holy Royal Palace was instantly filled with smoke, roars, cries, and pleas for help.
The once peaceful Holy Royal Palace had now turned into a living hell.
Meanwhile,
at the West Gate Square where Xiamiya was,
under Xiamiya’s cold gaze, the calamity beast, now emanating a violent crimson aura, charged into the enemy ranks and began a massacre.
After being infected by Xiamiya’s blood, Geyou not only turned into a bloodthirsty monster but also gained a boost in combat power.
The monster had greatly improved within half a day.
It had stepped halfway into the Saint Domain.
Combined with the calamity beast’s naturally superior physique compared to ordinary humans, the soldiers of the Xi family had no power to resist.
Soon, they were cut down like vegetables and their souls devoured by the demonized Geyou.
Though her heart ached, Xiamiya eventually hardened her resolve.
That was how Xiamiya was—sometimes hesitant, but once she made a decision, she saw it through completely.
No mercy needed. Youka was right; these were rebels who wanted to harm her father. Showing them mercy would be a contempt for the law. Moreover, keeping these people alive would be a threat to the stability of the Holy Kingdom.
Besides, had Youka started her move?
Looking around at the rising smoke, Xiamiya murmured with mixed feelings.
But just as Xiamiya diverted her attention to her surroundings, the crimson demon rampaging in front of her suddenly let out a wail.
With the wail, the demon, with a huge hole blasted in its chest, collapsed heavily.
“Huh?!”
Xiamiya quickly turned back and stared at the fallen demon, her eyes narrowing sharply.
“What?”
The astonished evil goddess soon focused her attention ahead, where a man in a white robe stood still, holding a giant knight’s spear.
Thick, foul black blood dripped from the platinum spear.
Clearly, this white-robed man had killed the demon.
And Xiamiya remembered this man well.
He was the bastard who had previously tampered with her father, forcing him into unconsciousness.
Therefore, the evil goddess immediately clenched her fists, a chill seeping from her rainbow-colored eyes.
“Who are you?!”
“Pardon my rudeness.”
Facing Xiamiya’s question, the man under the white robe answered gracefully.
Then, under Xiamiya’s intense gaze, the man took off his robe, revealing his muscular body wrapped in a black bodysuit, and his fierce face covered with scars and unknown runes.
Seeing the runes on the man’s face, Xiamiya guessed his identity.
“You’re from the Abyss Sin Tower?”
“Exactly.”
The white-haired, red-eyed man didn’t plan to hide it and directly admitted his identity.
“Princess Xiamiya, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Delin, a ‘Reaper’ under the Great Sin Apostle, Lord Zholu.”
“Reaper?”
Muttering the title, the chill in Xiamiya’s eyes deepened.
After all,
the Reapers of the Abyss Sin Tower, who had roamed the Blue Shining Star for years, reaping souls without restraint, were already notorious.
The holy maiden, who always harbored justice in her heart, naturally couldn’t tolerate them.
More importantly,
a subordinate of Zholu?
The Great Sin Apostle who killed Sister Diana?!
“What are you doing here? Trying to help the Leipzig family and Sister Helibea kill me?”
“That was the original plan.”
“Was?”
“Yes, I’ve changed my mind now.”
Delin said with a smile.
As he spoke, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Xiamiya gradually overflowed with indescribable excitement and thrill.
“Now, I want to invite you to the Abyss Sin Tower.”
“What?”
Xiamiya frowned, her rainbow-colored eyes full of shock and confusion.
“Are you kidding…”
“No, I’m not kidding, Princess Xiamiya.”
Delin immediately shook his head and denied.
“We always thought you were a descendant of the infected, which is why we agreed to cooperate with Helibea to eliminate you. After all, souls infected with the Abyssal force are very important to us. But now… I’ve discovered that you are not a descendant of the infected at all!”
With fanaticism flashing in his eyes, Delin looked around excitedly, sensing the aura of calamity beasts transmitted from all directions.
“Such terrifying vitality, dense Abyssal force, horrifying infection ability, and the talent to control calamity beasts! Even those who inherited the Sin Lord’s legacy are inferior to you! Therefore, you are definitely not a descendant of the infected! Not even a lousy Holy King’s daughter… If I’m not mistaken…”
As he spoke,
Delin’s gaze at Xiamiya became extremely fanatical, his body even trembling with excitement.
“You, you are the child left behind after the Sin Lord’s death, the one we’ve been searching for for years…”
“Huh???”
