"The Demon tide this month is indeed much fiercer than usual."
"Lu Cang, you can handle this, right?"
Lu Cang nodded. "Mm, I’ll take care of it."
Lu Cang raised his Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear, and rifts began to tear open across the sky!
Five hundred winged Angels were summoned from the rifts!
Next came twenty enormous Void Creatures!
BOOM!
The moment these Void Creatures set foot on the ground, the slaughter began.
Lu Cang raised his hand again.
The sky, shrouded in layers of black and red clouds, split open, and scorching pillars of light blasted down toward the earth!
Light Magic: Punishment of All Evils (Tier Four) (Level 301)—Summons more pillars of light. Burns a path where it passes, its karmic fire searing the soul. Its Power increases with burn duration. An extremely hard-to-extinguish fire. Moves at extreme speed. Bane of Evil, Bane of Undead, Bane of Darkness. Purifies Demons.
The pillars of light plowed through the earth!
Thirty-six pillars of light, each with a radius of nearly five hundred meters, swept across the land!
As they swept over mountain ranges, they left incandescent crimson trails in their wake, the very rock bubbling into lava. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Any Demons caught in the light were instantly vaporized, not even leaving ash behind.
Lu Cang no longer had any interest in the corpses of Low Tier Demons.
It wasn’t like he was short on money anymore.
As for leaving them for the people of this town...
’Hah. Their lives were on the line, and they’re supposed to be thinking about killing Demons for money?’
The strongest person in this town was a Tier Four Reincarnator, and there was only one of them.
How could they possibly stand against a Tier Five Demon tide?
If he hadn’t arrived, Lu Cang estimated, it wouldn’t have been long before this town was completely destroyed...
That really was the truth of it.
To most ordinary people, rampaging Demons were nothing short of a cataclysm.
The pillars of light swept through, and hordes of Demons died.
Since the Demon tide was so dense here, Lu Cang activated his Thousand Army Ant Mountain, letting it use this opportunity to produce more Black Ants.
’Might as well earn some more souls.’
Under the Thousand Army Ant Mountain’s frenzied efforts, the Demon tide rapidly thinned...
About half an hour later.
The Demon tide here had receded to its lowest point; the area was practically clear.
"It’s over."
’If only the Thousand Army Ant Mountain could be a little more efficient.’
Lu Cang recalled discussing Demonology with Yuna. Theoretically, Demons could advance from a Low Tier to a High Tier.
Besides, the soul of that one Demon had also mentioned something about evolution.
This was clear proof that Demons could evolve on their own.
’Perhaps I should think about how to make the Thousand Army Ant Mountain a bit more efficient.’
Save a town, receive their gratitude.
Lu Cang was starting to understand this kind of journey.
After that, they resumed their flight, though at a slower pace this time.
Among the mountains and great rivers, Lu Cang could see the fleeting shapes of countless decimated ruins passing below.
Civilizations had once thrived in those places; people had lived there.
He could even see Demons roaming through some of the villages.
Whenever they encountered these towns, Iz would land, casually cast some Magic, and slaughter all the nearby Demons.
And afterward, Kumironi would always shake his head and say to Iz, "There’s no one left alive."
...
"How cruel."
Iz’s tone was placid. "In this world, things like this happen everywhere."
"We can’t save everyone in the world. We can only do what’s within our power."
Lu Cang said, "So that’s why you dislike getting involved in wars, Master Iz? It’s already cruel enough that Demons kill people; it’s worse when people kill other people."
Iz: "Mm... I suppose that’s part of the reason."
They had saved roughly two towns on their journey.
But the ruins they had seen—of shattered villages, towns, and even city-states—numbered in the hundreds.
There was no telling if they had been destroyed recently or had lain in ruin for a long time.
They also came across a few towns and villages where Demons still lingered, but by the time they arrived, there were no survivors left.
By noon, the three of them landed. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Before them was a hidden stronghold, concealed within a mountain cave. The Death Church, naturally, wouldn’t be so brazen as to build a grand palace.
This had to be the headquarters of the Death Church.
Lu Cang sensed a powerful Restriction here. It seemed something had been left behind inside the headquarters.
Kumironi spoke up. "Let’s go. For the rest of the day, no one from the Church will be coming around here."
"But we still need to be as careful as possible. We can’t let anyone from the Church discover us..."
’Kumironi, you’re pretty paranoid, too, huh.’
