Chapter 881: Slaughterhouse (2/2)
“Hehe, although it’s gratifying to watch them die, it’s even more so to kill them with my own hands!” said Sanguis with a malevolent grin before he suddenly leaped into one of the demonic formations and butchered the visitors with his broadsword glowing with blood-red radiance.
After Sanguis, Bolland flew into the demonic formation without saying a word. Killing intent erupted from his body. A long, slender flying sword flashed and sliced one of the hallucinating divine guards into two.
Stratholme, Ayermike, and the others were excited and they too wanted to join Sanguis and Bollands. But thankfully, Gilbert stopped them in time, “Don’t go in there! The demonic formations can’t tell friend from foe. It could kill you!”
“Huh? Then why is it that Sanguis and Bollands are doing just fine there?” asked Phoebe with a brow raised.
“Before Master left, he taught the three of us how to traverse the demonic formations without being affected. It’s very complicated and one must not take a single wrong step. The two of them had memorized everything by heart. That’s why they could walk around the formations without being affected.” Then, Gilbert put on an embarrassed smile and said, “As for me, well, I couldn’t remember all those steps and directions. That’s why I’m not going down there. And neither should you all.”
Stratholme, Emily, and the others stared blankly for a moment. After hearing the explanation, they looked at each other and gave up on entering the demonic formations.
They had seen the horrifying conditions of their attackers. Even Larikson and Hofs were unable to escape from the demonic formations’ effects. They realized that they should not take unnecessary risks.
“Bryan is truly amazing. Hundreds have died in the demonic formations. I guess we have nothing to worry about!” remarked Phoebe smilingly. She finally seemed somewhat at ease.
The party nodded and smiled after hearing her words as though the formidable threat had already been neutralized.
“Do not lower your guard! The demonic formations are supported by Yuan Energies and the demon general energy that Master placed before he left. Master had said that the demonic formations can't run indefinitely. After Sanguis and Bollands have enough fun, before the formations run out of energy, we will still have to evacuate!” warned Gilbert.
The party that was momentarily relaxed immediately returned to the tense mood. They understood the dire situation they were in.
“Gilbert, how long can the formation last?” asked Stratholme with his brows bunched.
“That’s hard to say. It depends on how rapidly the Yuan Energy is being consumed. But anyway, the demonic formation has a limited amount of energy and will stop running once it’s exhausted. We need to leave before it runs out of juice, while Hofs and Larikson are still trapped. The sooner we leave the better.”
Gilbert suddenly sighed and mumbled, “Hell, how I wish Master was here. Then all of those motherfuckers would be fucking dead! Sigh…”
“Then we have no time to waste. Gilbert, inform Sanguis and Bollands that once we have gathered everyone, we will immediately activate the airship and leave Fort Lasberg,” commanded Emily gravely.
“Don’t worry, Sanguis and Bollands know that we need to leave,” said Gilbert as he nodded.
Emily, Phobe, Stratholme, and the others then hastily issued commands, gathering everyone at a secret underground chamber beneath the building.
Multiple shadows shot around the building and entered every room, assembling every divine guard of the House of Han at the secret chamber which was connected to an evacuation tunnel.
Meanwhile, Sanguis and Bollands traversed across various regions of the demonic formation. They avoided Larikson, Hofs, and the other highgods and slaughtered those attackers who possessed merely midgod strengths.
Sanguis and Bollands looked ferocious as they were drenched in their enemies’ blood. They were enjoying the killing spree.
When the two were about to lose themselves, Gilbert shouted at them from the building, “Sanguis, old guy, it’s time to leave!” The two soon regained their rationality and flew back into the building. They then went to the underground tunnel with Gilbert.
