This Giant Dragon is So Powerful!

Chapter 382: Chapter 94: The Eternal Night of Winter

The border city ’Kase City’ of one of the most marginal Human Duchies.

A squad of soldiers guarding the city walls were somewhat bored, staring off into the distant sky absentmindedly, occasionally taking gulps of liquor, their eyes slightly unfocused.

"When will this day end... standing guard at this lousy city gate every day, with this place so close to the Poisonous Miasma Ancient Forest, there’s hardly any life here. How could there be any enemies... it’s just a waste of life, eating and waiting for death!" Guard Armor muttered drunkenly.

Upon hearing this, some of the other guards agreed, while others rolled their eyes and mocked, "You should be grateful, many people don’t even have the chance to just eat and wait for death... Besides, if you really don’t want to just eat and wait for death, you can go be a guard at the border city of the neighboring country, where wars happen every now and then. Being a guard there is way more thrilling, constantly changing personnel every few days..."

Guard Armor, being mocked, was about to retort with a few words when his eyes suddenly froze, looking towards the distant sky, raising his arm, pointing, and mumbling,

"Hey, look at those dense black things flying over there...?"

"What things, you’re trying to change the topic again, coward..." Guard B was used to mocking, planning to continue when the person next to him suddenly pulled him, making him instinctively look at the distant sky, and upon seeing it, his eyes went blank,

"This... this... a Demon invasion?"

Demon invasion!

Although they didn’t know how a group of densely packed flying Demons emerged from the Poisonous Miasma Ancient Forest, the faces of this squad of guards turned pale with fear, their mouths trembling, and their legs were weak.

Some of the braver and more quick-thinking guards had already started to run, while another with a bit of conscience, in this life-and-death moment, picked up the Magic Staff and struck the War Drum that hadn’t sounded in decades.

The War Drum boomed throughout the city, yet nothing had happened in this city for decades. It had always been peaceful and serene, so with the sudden sound of the War Drum, most people were stunned at first, not even sure what had happened.

Some experienced people reacted quickly, rushing home to reunite with their families and hide.

However, whether experienced or inexperienced, smart or foolish, what awaited them was only despair and death—

Dozens of Great Demon tier Ice Demons, Winged Demons, and Frost Monster Birds arrived above the city first. The Humans below, seeing these grotesque creatures flying over the city, screamed in terror.

"Scream, scream loudly, souls that have experienced despair and pain are the most delicious!"

The Great Demons let out evil laughter, then cast Frost magic-like skills downward, destroying huge swathes of streets and houses. Every moment, numerous Humans turned into ice sculptures and died.

The Great Demons opened their grotesque mouths, swooping down to devour the souls invisible to ordinary creatures, looking satisfied.

In just a brief moment, this city of fifty to sixty thousand became a ruin, everywhere were the remnants of Frost Power, countless soulless ice sculpture corpses silent and still.

And at this moment, the Demon Army arrived.

The batch of Great Demons who arrived first stopped their rampage in the city, flew high into the sky, and headed towards other cities in this Duchy.

Those Humans who originally thought they had survived when they saw the Great Demons fly away had their hope rise in their hearts, only for their eyes to quickly turn gray.

The city, just as the Great Demons left, without even a few seconds’ delay, was descended upon by the oppressive Demon Army.

This Demon Army, upon seeing these surviving Humans, charged forward like locusts at surviving crops.

When Kase City suffered the demonic calamity, the other Duchies fared no better. Large numbers of Demons spread in teams everywhere, be it cities, towns, villages, or even the wilds, were inundated with countless Demons descending.

The Demon Army’s passage resulted in annihilation of all life, the remnants of Frost and Power of the Abyss leaving the land scarred.

The Demons from the Eternal Night Cold Abyss Plane were somewhat different from those of the Lava Wasteland.

Most Demon species from the Lava Wasteland were of the Fire Element, and Magma Element, whereas from Eternal Night Winter, there were mostly Cold Element Demons.

Each Abyss Plane had different attributes.

This mainly depended on the attribute inclination of the Abyss Lord of that layer.

If the lord of that Abyss layer was a Balrog Flame Demon, then that Abyss would surely be a Plane dominated by fire and magma, not water, frost, or lightning.

The news of vast Demon invasions reaching several eastern border Duchies quickly reached the ears of high-ranking members of all major races, causing their expressions to darken.

Not good.

Quite not good.

If Mother of Deep Red repelled the Dark Frost Giant Lord, how did this Abyss Lord dare to invade?

Now with the Demon invasion, there are only two possibilities.

One is that Mother of Deep Red was defeated, the other is that the Dark Frost Giant Lord couldn’t handle Mother of Deep Red, thus intending to start a Plane War... This targeted their Plane and their souls.

"Take advantage of the Demon Army invasion having just begun, and concentrate the continent’s Power as much as possible." a Legendary Powerhouse suggested.
