Free Web NovelChapter 388: Chapter 95: At This Moment, Breaking Free from the Framework_3
Compared to the indigestible souls of their own kind, the souls of creatures from the Material Plane are delicious and easy to digest, favored by almost all demons.
It can be understood this way: demons devouring other demons’ souls can also enhance their own strength, but it’s like eating a breadstick as hard as a stone; it can be eaten, but it’s unpleasant and hard to digest.
However, consuming souls of humans or dwarves is like eating vegetarian dishes with added meat; relatively tasty and nutritious.
Eating the souls of elves, fairies, or giant dragons is even more incredible, akin to eating premium meat dishes, with the stronger the soul, the more nutritious it is.
Goblins, giant demons, and jackal wolfmen’s souls, relatively speaking, are somewhat inferior, but are generally tastier than demon souls, at least soft-bread level.
But now, they find that since the war started, they haven’t tasted even a ’soft bread’, yet their own death count is surging, which makes these great demons and master-level dark creatures a bit embarrassed.
"How could this happen..." The Vampire Duke frowned slightly, feeling puzzled.
"I suspect there might be a soul-attracting altar or array here, or... these monsters all worship a divine spirit, and the souls are guided away by the divine spirit upon death." The dark winged person pondered aloud.
These words made the faces of the abyssal powerhouses present slightly heavy and displeased.
"So, even if we kill all these monsters, we can’t obtain any soul?" The Frost Ice Demon asked with an unpleasant expression.
"So it seems for now." The dark winged person nodded.
"Damn it."
The faces of the demons and dark creatures became extremely unpleasant.
"Winged Demon, where are you going?"
Suddenly, the Frost Ice Demon noticed a Winged Demon flapping its leathery wings, flying southwards, and immediately asked with a frown.
"Of course, I’m going to another place that can harvest souls; stay here if you want." From afar, the Winged Demon’s voice came.
At this point, other demons and dark creature powerhouses began to stir uneasily, transforming into streaks of light and leaving one after another.
"I’ll be leaving too." The Vampire Duke watched this scene, sighed, knowing the momentum was gone, and flapped his bat wings, closely following the departing demons.
As more demons and dark creature powerhouses left, the remaining powerhouses no longer lingered here.
Originally, this Monster City was already quite troublesome, attacking it recklessly posed life-threatening risks, and now seeing no gains at all, the highly pragmatic demons and dark creatures naturally couldn’t stay.
The Frost Demon, seeing this, snorted coldly, let out a high-pitched screech, and issued the order to retreat.
Other demons could leave freely, but the Frost Demon, being directly under the command of the Frost Lord’s Dark Frost Giant, needed to care somewhat about the cannon fodder and could not just abandon them.
With the Frost Demon’s retreat order, the demon army below turned chaotic like a surging tide, with many demons and dark creatures starting to flee.
But some, being rather clueless, still charged forward, blocking the escape route for those retreating.
"Die!" A mid-level Ice Demon directly tore the fellow in front of him in half, absorbed the other’s soul with some distaste for its unpleasant taste, and turned to flee quickly from the place.
The sudden chaos and collapse of the demon army caught Shiji, overseeing the war progress on the city walls, off guard.
However, regardless, such a good opportunity could not be missed, not taking advantage of it would be a pity.
These are all food!
"Full attack!" Shiji did not hesitate and directly gave the order.
It wasn’t afraid that this was a trap from the other side; first, the Black Wing Nest also had some powerhouses hidden, always watching out for any powerhouses that might emerge among the demons. Secondly, the master had not issued any warnings.
Upon Shiji’s order, three out of the five core legions of the Black Wing Nest that hadn’t been deployed — the Red Demon Eagle Air Cavalry Corps (Dragon-blooded Humans), the Bloody Legion (formed by Harpies), and the Silver Legion (comprised of Black Wing Warriors from various clans wearing Silver Base Armor)
The three legions were not numerous, totaling less than ten thousand, but all members were of advanced level strength at minimum. Among them, the most terrifying in strength and fewer in number, only a thousand strong, the Silver Legion was even more remarkable. With each flash of silver silhouette, large numbers of demons and dark creatures were sliced in two, their viscera flowing everywhere.
The Silver Base Armor is unlike ordinary armor; in the process of donning it, it envelops the entire body of the Black Wing Warrior as if it were mercury, seamless, with not even the slightest gap.
Additionally, the armor comes with a massive silver-white slash blade, and metallic wings can unfold from the back.
A powerful advanced Black Wing Follower wearing this armor has strength comparable to an ordinary Level 15 Master-level powerhouse.
And when such powerhouses number a thousand, the slaughter they wreak is truly terrifying.
The late-departing Level 19 Frost Demon, upon seeing this scene, had its pupils slightly contract.
"The individual quality of this legion is so strong."
However, the Frost Demon was only mildly surprised, not extremely shocked.
Because in Frost City, there are several legions even stronger and more numerous than the Silver Legion, those core legions personally established by the Frost Lord, accompanying it in abyssal blood wars and plane wars.
"The intelligence here needs to be promptly reported to the master." The Frost Demon thought silently, its wings formed from power of frost flapping, preparing to accelerate its departure from here.
