Chapter 530: Demons killing spree...
Under the disastrous assault of the Titanic Worm, the 40 fourth phase seekers who were just about to launch their collective attack towards Osiris were forced to pause.
Darkness flowed from the mouth of the profane creature, its shrill scream rattling the minds of the human army, made up of thousands of third-phase seekers.
The fourth phase seekers, with no other choice, had to attack the towering black worm. But to their horror, they found that their attacks did not leave too great a damage upon its body.
One of them screamed in rage, "Damn it, how did we not know that such a thing was sleeping beneath the battlefield?"
Another fourth phase powerhouse replied with a grave tone, "Does it matter now? Hurry up and use your strongest attacks. We have to kill this thing as fast as possible. When the worm opens its mouth, we have to attack inside; this thing’s outer shell is too strong."
With a grunt of displeasure, all the 40 powerhouses started to work together, putting aside their differences, and when such a high number of powerful seekers started to work together, even the gargantuan worm as strong as this one had to tread carefully.
When forced into a passive position, the 4th-phase seekers launched many deadly attacks that gradually injured the Worm. With a roar of anger, more of the creature’s body slowly slithered out of the deep crater formed in the middle of the battlefield.
The Worm, with its entire tail now out of the hole, was more than three kilometers long; it sent waves of fear through the hearts of 4th-phase seekers.
With one swing of that tail onto the grounds of the battlefield. The entire warzone trembled. It was as if the earth was about to split in two.
But the 4th-phase seekers had little to no choice in the matter. They had to keep the worm at bay, no matter the cost, so that all 3rd-phase seekers could escape safely.
The forces of humanity had already suffered too much in the first two clashes; too many 1st- and 2nd-phase seekers of the great kingdoms have died needlessly in this war.
But third-phase existences would not be allowed to die so easily, they are too important a strategic resource.
In fact, until the appearance of the vicious pureblooded Demon, not too many on their side had perished. But the moment this evil being appeared on the battlefield, more than 50 of the third-phase seekers had died, under the first few assaults of the titanic black worm.
Even a 4th-phase seeker had perished in just a few minutes from the attacks of the worm.
While they were too busy dealing with the worm, the 4th-phase seekers made a severe mistake, and the price for that mistake was paid in fresh blood, for they had not put any countermeasures to keep Osiris at bay.
The Skull Masked Demon, in a blink, appeared amid the third-phase seekers who were running away. He brought out a pitch-black sword, but it did not have a single rune shining on it. It was slick and almost old-looking, but the sheer negative, deathly power coming from it was dreadful, to say the least.
The pitch-black sword was no artifact; it was a relic that he obtained from the strategist Zoromir Gorthak by making a request. A sword that could perfectly handle demonic energy.
The moment Osiris poured his despair-attributed demonic energy onto the sword, the weapon began vibrating so fast with excitement that the air itself sizzled with a buzzing hum.
Osiris had not yet unleashed his demonic energy; he contained it with precise control. Thus, the third-phase soldiers of the Unified Army who were fleeing did not feel his presence; they were too concerned with getting out of the battle zone and the Giant Worm as fast as possible.
With a smile underneath the skull mask, the sword in his hand lit up with a small flicker of gray flame, encasing the whole black relic sword. The demon’s red eyes locked onto every single human wearing the golden insignia of the Suncrest kingdom in their attire and...
Slash!!!
Whosh!!!
With one single swing of his arms, a massive arc of gray flames shot out... but then they separated into tiny singular fragments, almost like flaming missiles. Just as Osiris intended, most of the gray flaming projectiles hit the Seekers of the Suncrest Great Kingdom.
The moment anyone got hit by those Gray flames, it burned their very Soul Sanctum, which was the foundation of every Seeker.
The pain they experienced was unimaginable; terror befell them all. As many mighty warriors howled in maddening pain, writhing on the ground like beasts, losing their minds, chaos unfolded like a demonic flower.
With the growing despair in the hearts of so many powerful seekers. Osiris felt his power become frighteningly domineering with every breath.
The Demon of Despair began to slaughter the forces of Suncrest like Dogs left and right, while he continued to laugh in his demonic voice.
Of course, he did not make it obvious that he was deliberately targeting those from Suncrest, given the chaotic situation in which no chain of organized command remained; it was quite easy to do, actually.
Third-phase seekers who were each supposed to be the lords of a territory now died like Moths caught in demonic flames.
These mighty figures were reduced to a state of running away mindlessly like street dogs, as they had come face to face with a Pureblood Demon.
The enraged screams of the fourth-phase existences reverberated through the skies; their anger knew no bounds when it came to Osiris, but they remained helpless, struggling to contain the Gargantuan Worm. Yet, Osiris did not stop; he continued to kill again and again and again.
Just in the span of a few minutes, Osiris alone had swiftly killed more than a few hundred of the fleeing third-phase existences, and a dozen of them were in the late or peak 3rd phase, even.
And 90% of all those he killed were from Suncrest.
It was a disturbing sight to see the method in which they were killed. Gray demonic flames continued to burn on the dead bodies; no injuries were shown on the bodies of those who died, but the Despair-Attributed Fire had consumed their soul sanctums.
Reducing that eternal symbol of their power as a Seeker, now turned to nothing but cinders.
