Chapter 1046 Slaughter (1/2)

After he massacred a dozen guards, thousands of low-level fiends began to appear behind the terrifying first fiend ancestor.

Although they were of low-level status, the fiends were far from weak. Every individual fiend was more powerful than any of the guards.

”Slaughter,” ordered the first fiend ancestor menacingly.

The low-level fiends pounced at the given order. They rushed into battle, bloodlust smeared on their faces.

”Ancestor, shall we collect souls as well?” asked a low-level fiend in a unique language.

The first fiend ancestor glared coldly in reply. The low-level fiend who dared speak twisted from extreme pain and let out an anguished cry before turning into a puddle.

There was no patience for stupid questions for the first fiend ancestor. The other low-level fiends who witnessed this trembled with fear and immediately understood what to do. Human souls were naturally very useful to their ancestor so it was obvious that they needed to be collected.

They simultaneously flew into the air, causing a wave of darkness as they blotted out the sky and the sun. Several panicked screams and cries burst from the city as they were engulfed in the darkness.

”I come with a report!”

A guard burst through the doors of a great hall, staggering to the ground as he trembled from what he needed to inform them about.

”Terrible news! The Deer City has been overrun with fiends. Hundreds of thousands of casualties have been reported.”

”What?”

gasped the four greatest holy warriors. The shock in their voices gave away a sense of panic.

Just moments before, they had gone to patrol the city in the east. It was out of their calculations for the Deer City down south to be attacked.

That was hundreds of thousands of civilians, most of which were some of the greatest minds and warriors of the human race!

Gulping down their mourning, the four greatest holy warriors summoned seventeen Governors and hurried to the Deer City. There was no time for remorse. They had to face the fiends quickly to protect the other cities.

Their arrival was met with desecration. The Deer City was in chaos. The buildings had collapsed, and the air was putrid from rot and blood. The smell of death was all over.

The streets were painted with blood as severed arms and legs were strewn around the city. It was a bloodbath.

The Governor of the Deer City fell to his knees as he cried in anguish.

His wife and children were all residing in the city.

”I'll kill them! I'll kill them all!” he cried.

His eyes were scarlet with pain and rage as he started throwing random attacks into the air.

”Where are the fiends?” asked Francis with a downcast look.
