Chapter 766: Havoc in Hushveil City (1/2)
GDK 766: Havoc in Hushveil City
Han Shuo and Rose were heavily surrounded and under siege. If they do not do something radical and escape from the encirclement soon, their situation will become even direr when other divine guards and their Chiefs reach them. Therefore, Han Shuo knew he had no choice but to use all the aces up his sleeves.
Ever since he arrived on Elysium, Han Shuo had been constantly filling the Cauldron of Myriad Demons with divine souls. After several decades, he had accumulated around six hundred souls in the Cauldron. In the usual day, Han Shuo would only utilize a very small fraction of the demon generals he had to probe for information. Never before had he released all the demon generals in the Cauldron to attack.
Cauldron Spirit and Han Shuo had connected minds and it also knew how critical the situation was. The instant that Han Shuo gave it the command, it started releasing the demon generals. Rose who was fighting beside Han Shuo suddenly sensed that countless lifeforms were gushing out from Han Shuo’s body. The divine guards who were launching ranged attacks at the two, however, could not detect the demon generals as they were in immaterial form.
In a split second, hundreds and hundreds of near-invisible immaterial lifeforms spread in every direction and placed themselves among the divine guards attacking Han Shuo and Rose. Then, when they are in position, Cauldron Spirit commanded the demon generals to attack. Grayish shadows appeared in an instant and pounced on the divine guards without warning.
Some of the demon generals that were used for scouting also transformed into material state and joined the attack. Hundreds of malevolent and terrifying shapes violently charged at them. They hissed and wailed as they tore and scratched at the divine guards.
The more than two hundred divine guards that surrounded Han Shuo and Rose were all loudly shrieking in fear. Many had their bodies intruded by the demon generals and their divine energy was being rapidly drained. Their divine souls were being corroded away and their awareness was being erased bit by bit.
Demon generals in material form could cause tremendous damage to divine bodies and divine souls. The divine guards could not free themselves from the attacks of the demon generals and their power was slowly dwindling. Once their divine energy and life force were vacuumed away from the demon generals, their divine souls would lose self-awareness, becoming an excellent material for nourishing the Cauldron of Myriad Demon and for making new demon generals.
Grayish shadows whizzed and streaked all around. Many of the divine guards screamed in misery as their life forces were being rapidly drained away. Many were lying still on the ground with their eyes rolled back even though there wasn’t a sign of injury on their bodies. But when their comrades went closer to examine them, they would discover that these divine guards had lost their lives.
The scene was chaotic. Around six hundred demon generals were charging in every direction and attacking everything with a soul. There were more demon generals than there were divine guards present. The demon generals would fly in groups of tens and wildly assault a divine guard as a group. After entering a person’s body, the demon generals could nibble away the person’s life force within a short time.
“What is this! What in the world are these?! Ah! Locke is dead!”
“What the fuck are these cursed things? How can they be invulnerable to attacks from divine weapons? Ah! Ahh! They are inside me!”
“It doesn’t die, it can’t be killed!”
“Is the City being invaded? We should retreat… “
“Shit, I’m, I’m dying… “
These divine guards of Hushveil City were losing their heads. They had never seen a lifeform as strange as the demon general. Normal physical attacks could pose no threat to demon generals. Before they find the right method of attacking the demon generals, the divine guards could not make any counterattacks and were hence vulnerable. In just a few moments, several dozen divine guards had lost their lives to the demon generals.
The Cauldron Spirit gently hovered around in its immaterial form, collecting the divine souls of the deceased while commanding the demon generals to attack the weakest divine guards in swarms.
The Chief of Second Corps was loudly shouting all these while, asking his divine guards to form effective defenses. However, as everyone was in a panic and the demon generals were making loud, goosebump-inducing whistles, not many could hear him.
Cauldron Spirit knew that the Chief of Second Corps had excellent strength and therefore commanded the demon generals to avoid him and focus on attacking the weaker divine guards instead. The demon generals refined from highgod souls were especially deadly, and even deadlier in a swarm. These demon generals of the highest grade could consume the vitality of an average divine guard in just a split second.
With each passing moment, a few of the divine guards would perish. Under such circumstances, no one would have the energy to deal with Han Shuo and Rose. Han Shuo and Rose did not let go of the opportunity to strike them while they were weakened. The seventeen flying swords whistled across a dense crowd of divine guards and dismembered them. Their heads and limbs were sent flying while blood splattered everywhere.
While calmly maneuvering his seventeen flying swords to commit a massacre, Han Shuo did not forget to station a few of his demon generals far in the perimeter to look out for any approaching enemy. He killed as many divine guards as he can with Rose so that Cauldron Spirit would have more demon generals to play with in its Cauldron.
Rose mercilessly butchering the divine guards behind Han Shuo seemed excited for some reason. Perhaps the sudden emergence of a chance of survival when she thought all hope was lost had lifted her spirit to fight.
Within a short few minutes, Han Shuo and Rose managed to kill more than a hundred divine guards that previously surrounded the two. The shouts of the Chief of Second Corps were completely ineffective. He watched helplessly as more and more of his divine guards lose their lives.
The divine guards were shouting in fear and they were panicking. The more flustered they were, the more vulnerable they will be. The wails of their dying comrades and the sight of their dead teammates only made matters worse.
The Chief of Second Corps that had been shouting in vain suddenly discovered that Han Shuo and Rose were charging towards him murderously.
With the seventeen flying swords paving the way, all the divine guards between them were shredded. Han Shuo moved with several dozens of demon generals as though a dark, menacing cloud in his wake. It greatly intimidated the Chief of Second Corps.
Rose’s silver hair were dancing wildly. Filled with darkness divine energy, her long hair was as cold and incisive as needles. Her long hair would pierce through the bodies of the divine guards around her, killing them in an instant.
The Chief of Second Corps wore a dark face as he watched Han Shuo and Rose approaching him. He racked his brain for a solution. About ten seconds later, he gave up on the idea of fighting against the duo by himself and retreated.
