Free Web NovelChapter 237: Chapter237-A Member of the Demon King Council
Alan stood at the very front of the battle line, a massive shield in hand. His sharp gaze swept across the surroundings as he constantly monitored the state of the battlefield.
He had thought this conquest would end smoothly.
But at that moment, the atmosphere between heaven and earth suddenly became suffocatingly oppressive.
A terrifying aura, far colder and more domineering than Azmodan’s, and even stronger than the projection of the Demon Progenitor, swept forth from the abyssal passage at the edge of the sky.
Black clouds churned. The world lost its color. freewebnovel.cσ๓
Violent winds howled, rolling broken stones across the ground. Every player locked in battle unconsciously froze in place, their hearts wrapped in a fear that seemed to come from the depths of their souls.
"What terrifying pressure!"
Alan’s expression hardened. Every muscle in his body tensed as his pupils locked firmly onto the abyssal passage.
The surrounding Zone 5 players also entered a state of full alert. Shield soldiers raised their shields in unison, while mages and archers quickly turned around, aiming all their firepower toward the source of that aura.
Within the abyssal passage, black fog surged like a tide.
Along with thunderous footsteps, a colossal figure that seemed to support the sky and press down upon the earth slowly descended.
It was an enormous demon race giant, towering over a hundred meters tall. His body was covered in thick, dark cyan scales. Each scale flashed with a cold metallic luster, while pitch-black demonic sludge flowed through the gaps between them.
He had three hideous heads.
The main head in the center had blood-red eyes and outward-curving fangs. The two secondary heads on either side constantly let out low, guttural roars.
His thick limbs were packed with knotted muscles. In each of his arms, he gripped a gigantic battle axe covered in blood-red runes. Behind him, twelve pairs of skeletal membrane wings spread fully open, blotting out half the sky.
Black demonic mist coiled around him. Within the fog, countless phantom souls could vaguely be seen, their shrill wails echoing across the battlefield.
With every step he took, the earth trembled violently.
Dense cracks spread across the ground, and thick abyssal demonic power continued to diffuse in all directions, suppressing the strength of every living being on the battlefield.
[Galos — Blood War Commander of the Demon King Council]
[HP]: 2 trillion
[Attack]: 98 billion
[Defense]: 910 billion
[Skills]: Blood Axe Worldbreaker, Myriad Souls Devouring Body, Triple Demonic Wrath, Demon King’s Pressure, Abyssal Slaughter
[Description]: One of the core commanders of the supreme demon race organization, the Demon King Council. He has waged war across countless planes, staining both hands with the blood of powerful beings from many races. Under the orders of the Demon King Council, he has come to intercept and kill the human powerhouses invading demon race territory.
Galos turned all three heads at once.
His blood-red gaze swept across the battlefield below before finally locking onto Alan and the Zone 5 battle regiments.
The central head opened its huge mouth and unleashed a roar like rolling thunder. His voice was filled with violence and disdain.
"Insignificant humans dare set foot in demon race territory? Today, every last one of you shall be buried here!"
His twelve pairs of bone wings suddenly flapped.
A violent gale stirred the black fog and swept across the battlefield.
The two gigantic battle axes were raised high into the air. The blood-red runes upon them blazed brilliantly as a world-destroying power began to gather.
In an instant, the sky above Zone 1’s main city was completely shrouded beneath the shadow of death.
Alan tightened his grip on the massive shield in his hand. Cold sweat seeped from his forehead.
"Damn it. Where did this monster come from?"
Galos swung both axes.
Blood-red axe light tore through the sky, and a berserk power swept across the battlefield.
The shields and armor of the Zone 5 players were like thin paper beneath such an attack. There was no way for them to withstand it.
Every time the giant axes fell, they stirred up surging waves of demonic energy. Dozens of players were instantly swallowed by the demonic power, their bodies turning into streaks of white light as they were forcibly sent back to Zone 5’s resurrection point.
Screams and cries of shock rang out one after another.
The battle line continued to collapse backward.
Seeing this, Alan’s face turned ashen. Gritting his teeth, he shouted his command.
"All troops, gather! Form battle arrays and surround him!"
More than two thousand Order Warriors immediately converged.
Layers of shield walls rose like fortresses, their weapons pointing forward in unison as they joined forces to release a team defensive barrier. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
But Galos merely let out an enraged roar and activated Demon King’s Pressure.
An invisible force descended, crushing the bodies of the players until they bent beneath the weight.
Immediately after, he unleashed Blood Axe Worldbreaker.
A deafening explosion erupted.
The defensive barrier shattered inch by inch.
The shield formation was directly blown apart.
Large numbers of warriors were wounded and thrown to the ground. Casualties rose at an alarming speed. More than half of the Order Warrior Regiment was killed or injured, and the entire force was forced into a completely passive position.
The Zone 1 demon race players hiding inside the main city immediately burst into arrogant laughter at the sight.
"Hahaha! So this is all Zone 5’s so-called powerhouses amount to!"
"Weren’t you acting so arrogant earlier? Why are you retreating now?"
"This is the difference in strength after joining the Demon King Council! What are you going to use to fight us?"
"John still hasn’t shown up. Looks like he can’t even take care of himself!"
"Just obediently accept your deaths! Not a single one of you will escape today!"
Just as Alan and the other players began to sink into despair, preparing to fight to the death, a platinum-white figure suddenly dived down from the sky.
With one hand, he steadily blocked Galos’s full-power strike.
The violent demonic energy collapsed before him, unable to shake him in the slightest.
Alan’s pupils contracted sharply, and he cried out in shock.
"Guild leader! Why are you here?"
The newcomer was none other than John.
His gaze was cold as he examined Galos. He could clearly sense an energy fluctuation from the other party that was completely different from this universe.
He was certain this demon race creature was not a being from this universe.
Galos’s three heads widened their eyes at the same time. Flames of boundless rage burned within his crimson pupils as he roared sharply.
"It’s you! You’re the one who killed Zar!"
John remained silent.
The space beneath his feet flashed, and in the next instant, he closed in on Galos.
Before Galos could even raise his arms to defend himself, John threw a punch.
Bang!
A heavy, muffled impact rang across heaven and earth.
Galos’s colossal body staggered several steps backward. His scales cracked, and pitch-black demon blood continuously dripped from his wounds. His ferocious aura plummeted in an instant.
He stared fixedly at John, who was slowly approaching him. The battle axes in his hands trembled uncontrollably.
His voice was filled with extreme terror and disbelief.
"Impossible... How could a human as powerful as you exist in this plane?"
Before Galos could continue shouting, John’s figure flashed.
A sharp strike swept out.
Along with a piercing sound of tearing flesh, all three of Galos’s heads rolled to the ground at the same time.
His enormous body crashed heavily onto the earth.
The entire battlefield fell deathly silent.
The Zone 1 demon race players who had been cheering and mocking just moments ago turned deathly pale. All of their arrogance was completely replaced by terror.
[You have killed Lv.400 Galos, Blood War Commander of the Demon King Council. Divine Class Points +80,000, EXP +40 billion, Fame +8 billion!]
[Plundered SSS-grade equipment: Blood Prison Battle Axe, SSS-grade skill: Blood Axe Worldbreaker, SSS-grade talent: Myriad Souls Devouring Body!]
[Obtained special item: Demon King Council Token!]
John turned his palm over, and a pitch-black token appeared in his hand.
[Demon King Council Token]
[Quality]: Special Divine Item
[Effect]: The holder of this token may freely enter and leave the Demon King’s Domain.
John held the ancient token and examined it carefully, a trace of interest flashing through his eyes.
He thought to himself that this so-called Demon King’s Domain might be similar to the Holy Grail space he possessed — a special realm independent from the major planes.
With that thought, the idea of going there to investigate had already taken root in his mind.
