Volume 3 Chapter 137.2 - The Burning Ancient Ruins of the Romanov Empire Part 2 (1/2)

“Elder sister Bella, I just find that the aura from that dragon really annoying!”

“Bella, aren’t you a Demon King? I was waiting for you to give the final blow; that’s why I loosened my puppet strings.”

“It’s okay. Bella, it doesn’t matter if you did it or not. The tips of my arrows are covered in poison anyway.”

Bella wiped beads of cold sweat off her brow as she stared at her dorm mates, their faces filled with excitement. She seemed to be hallucinating. Those standing around her were all Demon Kings, and none of them were warriors. This world was truly a fake one.

On the battlefield, the dryads were rapidly retreating back towards the ancient city with the demon army hot on their heels. The defeated and crestfallen dyads thought they had reached the safety of the city gates, only to find that it had been attacked by white departed spirits and black Death Gods. The mechanisms on the gates had been damaged beyond repair, preventing the gates from being shut.

An ominous sound of hooves could be heard behind the dryads as a group of heavily armored Black Hell Knights sped over on their Hell Horses. The fire from the horses’ hooves ignited everything in its way, leaving their vicinity burning up in flames.

Following the Hell Knights was an even larger group of demon guards wielding their black demonic spears and charging toward the dryads. These demon guards did not need any shields as it had been ingrained into their subconscious that having a defense mechanism or tool was something to be ashamed of. Their only option in battle was to attack.

In the distance, the demon guards were followed by dozens of Hell Mammoths. Their curved tusks had various metal objects attached to them. These Hell Mammoths were specially assigned to break down walls and anything that came in their way.

Right at the back of the demon army was a Cloud Ascending Ladder Chariot. The chariot was six meters tall and was an expedited product made by the puppets. At the Puppet Master’s instruction, these puppets collected as many materials as they could get their hands on before creating this monstrous chariot. Now, they were the driving force behind it.

The Demonic Dragon Army, clad in heavy armor, stood atop the Cloud Ascending Ladder. The Demonic Dragons were the newest unit to join the battle. Their armor was covered in dragon patterns and their helmets had dragon horns on them.

The skies above the demon army were filled with hordes of congregating white departed spirits and black Death Gods. In addition, there was a group of Hell Blademasters. These blademasters were wielding a variety of precious swords and weapons. They were clad in black light-armor and carried the demon’s flag.

Each Hell Blademaster had a different sword in their hand. All of these swords were the real deal, and some of them were even divine or demonic artifacts. Unless the precious sword in their hands were destroyed, these blademasters were practically immortal. Hell Blademasters were demonized Blade Spirits and were held in high regard within a Demon Army.

The strength of the Demon Army had rapidly risen to more than ten thousand. Waiting behind them was an open demonic beast transportation array suspended in the air with countless demonic beasts waiting on the other end to provide support for the army. If not for the fact that there were no dragon bones around, this Demon Army would probably even be able to summon a group of Bone Dragon Knights.

Bella looked upon the battlefield with conflicting feelings. This Demon Army had brought back images of the invasion of the Twelve Demon Kings. Back then, it had all been summoned by warriors. The current Demon Army had been called up by Bella’s dorm mates, and the magnitude of the army was already equivalent to an allied army of five Demon Kings.

Demon Kings would often summon the demonic beasts that were under their control. However, there was something that Bella could not figure out: Lisha and the others were not Demon Kings, but they had the ability to summon the demonic beasts under their command.

“I’m going into the city to look for the Sea Dragon God. The rest of you will follow later.”

“Bella, do you want me to send someone with you?”

“Bella, among my Blade Spirits, some of those Hell Blademasters have brought Dragon-slaying Swords with them. Do you want me to…”
