Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 925: Chapter 470: War with the Demon King Army! (Part 2)

"The powers of Jianqi, Nurgle, and Khorne have also increased..."

Louis remained silent for a long time, and finally said:

"Doesn’t that mean..."

"Yes, it’s very likely just as you think. Those long-eared ancestors probably didn’t even have time to leave the Underground City before they were already being watched by the four Abyssal Gods.

In such a civilization-annihilating manner that sends their whole race and even the Elf Race directly to the heavens, it’s likely to further enhance Khorne’s power.

Incubating a race enveloped in depravity is almost equivalent to leading two races to simultaneous extinction, elevating the force of lust.

And behind it all, Jianqi has executed a far-reaching conspiracy..."

"But what about Nurgle? Why has Nurgle also gained power?"

Louis frowned.

None of the situations Olivia mentioned matched with Nurgle’s operations.

Then, Olivia proposed an idea that made his scalp tingle.

"I suspect the means that led to the Golden Land’s chaos likely originated from Nurgle."

Louis pondered slightly.

If all of this involves the four Abyssal Gods, then Nurgle cannot escape.

But indeed, he hasn’t seen any trace of Nurgle’s activity.

The most likely problem is... Nurgle’s creation, right in the Golden Land.

This, truly, is problematic.

The situation within the Golden Land seems not as easy as he imagined.

With this in mind, he cursed those wretched elves loudly again.

He turned to Olivia and said:

"If you’re going there to supervise, that’s okay.

But you must remember, don’t casually step into the Golden Land, just stall outside."

Olivia nodded and said:

"Alright."

Even Louis felt the existence was troublesome, so she certainly couldn’t rush in directly.

She wasn’t that reckless.

Meanwhile, Louis was pondering a question.

The capabilities of these Paradox Devices seem a bit too overpowered.

To put it bluntly, each of these Paradox Devices is akin to a conceptual-level ability.

This is something only achievable with skill from the Divine Realm.

Even River of Time Cronus finds it tricky; using it is exhilarating.

But why is such a powerful thing in the hands of the madman Helmer?

He thought for a moment and said:

"No time for hesitation, I’ll go drive back Helmer’s soldiers first."

Monsters were already dangerous, not to mention those cultivated by the Demon King Army.

Vast numbers of monsters incapacitated the entire Am Empire within an instant.

The city’s defense magic array could temporarily hold off the Demon King Army, but not the ensuing panic.

Countless people tried to flee the Imperial Capital of Am Empire immediately.

But under current circumstances, attempting to leave is akin to a death sentence, and even if they were allowed to go, it’d leave opportunities for the monsters.

Simply put, the residents of the Imperial Capital of Am Empire were on the brink of madness.

At that moment, they heard a tight series of footsteps on the streets.

Many frightened people hid inside houses, sealing the doors and windows tightly, not daring even to take a glance, fearing that the Demon King Army had broken through the city’s defenses, ready to murder.

But soon, someone noticed something amiss.

Someone fearless had been observing the state of the Imperial Capital’s magic array.

With eyes wide open, they witnessed a legion ablaze with purple-black flames emerging from the shadowy corners.

They towered over the ordinary populace in height and physique.

Even the smallest legion soldier appeared impressively solid and powerful.

Especially with armor like city walls, their footsteps resounded clearly on the ground.

Someone finally recalled who they were?

"It’s the Curse Binding Legion! It’s the Curse Binding Legion! Reinforcements have arrived! Brothers, we still have hope."

Under Louis’s orders, the Curse Binding Legion began taking up arms, moving toward various blockades.

The heavy footsteps they heard were the sound of armor against the cobblestone paths.

Realizing rescue was indeed possible, citizens gradually began peeking from behind glass windows.

They witnessed an awe-inspiring army with fearless expressions marching into the distance.

Heading straight toward the battlefield created by the Helmer Demon King Army.

This was the first direct confrontation between the main forces of the Demon King Army and the Curse Binding Legion.

The thundering battle cries awakened the silent city; more and more people peeked out to see what was happening, and thus, they had the fortunate sight of a god battle unraveled like in myths and legends.

This was a brutal clash between monsters, beyond mortal reach.

Undying soldiers crashed into the Demon King Army like a charioteer.

Where they passed, bloodstains covered the ground.

Those were Demon King Army members crushed by the Curse Binding Legion.

With little hesitation, they crushed the corpses underfoot into bloody paste.

Advance!

Advance!

Advance!

Amid roaring cries, masters of the Demon King Army began to take action, trying to stop this terrifying legion.

However, fear of death was the last thing that bothered the Curse Binding Legion.

For they had already ceased breathing.

What stood there were their shadows.

Many among them were true heroes who sacrificed themselves to prevent the Seven Disasters.

Storming the battlefield to annihilate mortal enemies and end the Seven Sins in this era, this was their reason to stand again.

Death?

That was the least of their concerns.

For they were corpses, to begin with.

...

Location: Am Empire · Outer Seas · A corner of the Sword Coast

A figure stood before Helmer, reporting:

"Master Helmer, the city’s defensive magic array is tougher than we anticipated; even with insiders, breaking in remains too arduous."

Helmer sighed and said:

"If I’d known, I wouldn’t have embarked on this path."

The Curse Binding Legion was harder to deal with than he imagined.

The average level of those monsters was so high that even the Demon King Army, which had been gathering power in the Underground City for ages, paled on first encounter.

Facts revealed that, while the abyss remains the abyss and chaos remains chaos, Helmer and countless monsters under him, having been purged by the four Abyssal Gods for long, were still not unafraid of death.

The Curse Binding Legion was expanding its visual advantage.

Even as Demon King Army elites targeted the Curse Binding Legion, attempting to induce panic by killing squad captains or higher authorities.

But who knows how many monsters saw Curse Binding Legion members rise again the next instant...

They finally felt panic deep within.

These were ones who truly disregarded death in madness.

Ultimately, several concealed Legendary Strongmen of the Demon King Army stepped forth.

They intended to carve a bloody path for the monsters later, as the defensive barriers of Am Empire widened.

But the next moment.

A Demigod stood in their way.

The Troll Demigod’s massive hand slammed down forcefully.

"Sorry, passage is forbidden here."

The terrifying wind from the punch morphed into shockwaves sweeping the surroundings.

Among the Legendaries, one had to nervously open a demi-plane, trying to block the Demigod momentarily through the cost of a collapsing demi-plane, giving comrades a chance.

But the next moment, another Legendary appeared before him.

A sharp long blade enveloped in unmatched blood energy instantly tore apart several Legendary bodies.

Another Demigod of the Curse Binding Legion joined the fray.

The battle continued for a long time.

Attempts to penetrate the core of the Demon King Army fell like blades of grass, batch after batch.

The squads suffered severe setbacks.

Though the Curse Binding Legion’s numbers were far less than the monsters,

due to only a few channels of the defense magic array being open, the majority of Curse Binding Legion soldiers merely had to guard the spatial channels.

The scene turned into a flesh-grinding mill, one mighty person after another reduced to mush.

At the most exaggerated point, one end of the alley held Curse Binding Legion, the other end, the Demon King Army.

In the rooms lining the alley, inside lay the Curse Binding Legion, outside, the Demon King Army.

Both monsters and Curse Binding Legion members averaged lifespans of less than half an hour.
