728 Antos’ fury Part 2 (2/2)
That sole grade-4 mage's face was pale as a sheet, he did not have the intention to escape at all. He looked at the monster and his heart filled with dread.
”This is…”
That monster turned around, crushing a war chariot with its feet before leaping towards this grand mage. When it waved its gigantic palm, the mage subconsciously released the Ice Plate Armor, but this spell was simply broken by this monster. As the gray-robed mage was tossed into the monster's mouth, he finally yelled something before dying; ”This is the Dark Sky Devil…!”
The formation of the Qin soldiers was in utter chaos, not many people heard the mage's words. Even if they did, normal people would not know what the Dark Sky Devil was.
This god created by the black magicians possessed endless life. As long as one person still believed in black magic, the Dark Sky Devil would never disappear. Even ten camps would not be able to exterminate this monster. All the best equipment and mages would have to be used to even chase this monster away.
Even if the Dark Sky Devil was smashed into smithereens by many grade-9 sorcerers, the Dark Sky Devil could still be resurrected atop the altar of black magicians. Unless all the believers of black magic were killed at the same time and the soul of the Dark Sky Devil was refined into the elements he could not be killed. Be that as it may, if someone in the future who harbored evil thoughts thought of the Dark Sky Devil and made a wish, the Dark Sky Devil would develop in this person's heart before eventually devouring them.
The horror of black magic laid in the fact that no one would remain kind forever. Even the Lord of Glory would not be able to extirpate the darkness in people's hearts.
The third head of the Dark Sky Devil grew increasingly larger. Each time he devoured one person his injury would recover a little. Clearly, a presence with unparalleled power had wounded the Dark Sky Devil, it was impossible for this army to fully heal his wound.
The third emblem group was the only composition of light cavalrymen which remained complete. The moment they heard the orders from the interim camp commander, these light cavalrymen took the remaining white-robed mages and escaped northeast.
The Dark Sky Devil picked up rocks on the ground and created hundreds of shards and then tossed them. These hundreds of rock shards struck the soldiers from behind.
The speed of the Dark Sky Devil continues to increase. He charged towards the fleeing cavalrymen and initiated a crazed onslaught at the rear.
After being severely injured he had been hiding underground not daring to expose himself. He only emerged when these soldiers went past, he was going to use the flesh of the Qin soldiers to recover his third head.
Cavalry lances, heavy swords, javelins, heavy crossbows…all these weapons assaulted the scales on the body of the Dark Sky Devil, but they all bounced off. The Dark Sky Devil was previously severely injured, otherwise, he could have killed these soldiers without even lifting a finger when these weapons bounced off.
Devouring thousands of soldiers, the Dark Sky Devil's third head was finally as big as the other two heads. Waving an enormous palm, the heads of soldiers who he could not swallow in time rolled aside, then these bodies rose to their feet.
The speed at which the Dark Sky Devil could create headless riders was thousands of times faster than the black magicians.
The souls of these soldiers were sealed in their heads. While moaning in excruciation, their bodies grabbed onto their heads. They then made their way to the warhorses nearest to them. The orbitals of the warhorses were already pitch black, there were no other colors present.
Massacring all the soldiers, there were now two-thousand headless riders standing beside the Dark Sky Devil. The three heads swung about swiftly, scanning the surroundings meticulously. After ensuring that the scents of the two people had not appeared within a range of one-hundred miles, he ordered the two-thousand headless riders to advance south, while he himself dashed in the northwestern direction.
”The scents of two-thousand headless riders should be able to attract the attention of those two humans.”
The Dark Sky Devil quickly disappeared into the forest and the two-thousand headless riders advanced south mindlessly. In the south there was an anonymous town which they had left previously at border of Lex's county.
Five days later, in Felage City, which was situated in central Loulan, Marquis Antos learned that his entire army had been exterminated.
In his temporary marquis' residence, Antos was raging and smashing whatever item he could grab hold of.
”Lex! You really are ruthless! I am going to kill you!”
Beside Antos stood a dwarf clad in brown clothes. Looking at Marquis Antos through his purple pupils, he said, ”Sir, that town only has five-hundred elites, they wouldn't be able to kill everyone from the eighty-sixth camp.”
”This was a trap!” Antos bellowed, then told this dwarf, ”According to the images transmitted back by the mages, there was a two-hundred man team which came from Metatrin City and there was a death sorcerer amongst them. At the foot of the city the death sorcerer killed Angee and the five grand mages. They must have set up an ambush along the eighty-sixth camp's route of retreat and they proceeded to kill the remaining people.”
”Sir, the people from Metatrin can't possibly deploy so many soldiers there right?”
”Lex must have stationed some people there beforehand and used those two-hundred people as bait!” Antos was on the brink of going berserk, he had to work hard to recruit a sorcerer and that sorcerer was killed in battle while accompanying his ten-thousand man army.
”So, Sir, who do you want dead? Lex, or that death sorcerer?” The dwarf shut his eyes, posing a strange question. It was as though the dwarf could help Antos kill any target of his wish.
