Chapter 305 (2/2)

The streets in the city were ablaze with flames and the city, which had been operating for thousands of years was quickly being destroyed. Although the unusual creatures were all formidable monsters to mankind, many of them were actually just regular people. They were not good in fighting at all. Even though they were more powerful than humans, they were never opponents of the demon hunters. The demon hunters in their long, black windbreakers were like the Grim Reaper, sweeping across the whole city. Every time their silhouettes flickered, a creature’s life would be taken. The more powerful demon hunters had forcibly established their position near the rift. They were the ones directing more powerful and destructive spells.

The city’s sky began to shake and crumble as the shadow of chaos fell from every crack in the sky. In these shadows, they could vaguely see the form of the real Athens—the demon hunters were casting spells to destroy the shadow structure of the city. If the real world came into contact with this dimension, the whole city might vanish.

However, the elders had begun to act. They closed their guarded passages and returned from the real world as well as the Shadowy Divide. They came to the city to deal with the leaders of the demon hunters, who were keeping the rifts open. These powerful elders managed to slightly relief the situation; the demon hunters’ magic, which was capable of destroying the city was interrupted again and again. Due to the intense energy, the dome of the city creaked as if it was about to collapse, but in the end, it did not…

Well, not yet.

The flames from explosions and the burning fires in the city rose from all directions, but there was not one demon hunter near the shadelings’ castle. That area seemed to have been deliberately overlooked. Only the shadelings and vampires from Hessiana’s family were fighting here.

“The demon hunters deliberately bypassed this area,” Hessiana said as she gritted her teeth and rubbed off the blood on her face. They had just beaten back another attack from the shadelings. The Dark Castle was already in sight and they could even see the ragged heraldry still fluttering above the city gate. “They’re trying to throw the whole city into the real world… What kind of agreement did they have with that bastard, Bethanos?”

“It’s incredible, the fact that the demon hunters colluded with unusual creatures,” Vivian said, looking back at the city with concern. “Can we hold on? It seems like the demon hunters have gained the upper hand.”

“We must,” Hessiana clenched her teeth and said. “The shadelings are trying to break out of their castle; they are undoubtedly trying to rush to the city to support the demon hunters. We must be here to destroy the castle otherwise, the defenders in the city will be attacked from all sides!”

Then, she looked back at the city and said, “I want to help them fight against the demon hunters too, but right now… it’s better that we believe in the power of the defenders. That crafty scoundrel, Bethanos is a greater threat now.”

Just as Hao Ren was about to say something, he suddenly saw a golden glow appear out of nowhere in the air. He immediately prepared to fight, but then he noticed Hesperides walking out from the glow.

This elder, who went by “Goddess of Twilight”, looked like she had just gone through a tough battle. Her clothes were stained with blood and the shimmering bloodstains had apparently come from the demon hunters. Along with all that, the weapon in her hand left them all dumbfounded.

It was a mace, which was almost as tall as her. It was fabricated from high-quality steel, covered in hundreds of nails and was an essential treasure for killing as well as robbing.

Hesperides was glaring at them with red eyes. She waved the mace in her hand and asked in a shrill voice, “Where is he? Where is he? Where’s that one-eyed man?!”

Vivian covered her eyes and said, “Here comes her secondary personality.”
