NOVPUBChapter 303: Chapter 280: Fight to the Death Against the Abyss Demon!_3
Duke Ward could only disperse his soldiers and level the surrounding houses as much as possible to hold back the demons near the space rift.
In addition, he sent a small contingent of troops toward two other smaller Demon’s Gates.
At that moment, even if there were civilians who had not yet fled, they were beyond his consideration. Anyone daring to stand in the middle of the battlefield could instantly be reduced to a bloody mire.
Lis knew very well that although the situation seemed balanced for now, as more and more demons emerged from the space rift, it would be impossible to hold them back.
This…
How come it didn’t seem so exaggerated in my previous life?
...
While Lis was puzzled, he suddenly felt the ground shake, and far away, two holy white beams of light solemnly burst into the sky. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
That was… the location of the other two Demon’s Gates!
That holy strength,
it was the Ice and Snow Goddess Church taking action!
No wonder he hadn’t sensed much commotion from there; the two smaller space rifts must have been controlled by the strong ones from the Ice and Snow Goddess Church.
That force must be the outer manifestation of borrowing divine power through the Church’s holy artifact!
Lis felt a chill in his heart. The main force of the Ice and Snow Goddess Church was still in Ice Peak City, which meant that unlike in his previous life, the Church and Northern Fury had not left Ice Peak City to head to the western part of the Kingdom.
So…
Where was Northern Fury?
Lis frowned. If Northern Fury sensed the appearance of the Demon’s Gate, they would have intervened immediately. That was a consensus among all the strong ones in Gaia World.
Although the Demon’s Gate was dangerous, it was merely a nuisance to a Legendary Strongman.
After all, they represented the pinnacle of human strength.
Why was there no movement at all?
The unease in Lis’s heart intensified. After pondering for a moment, he produced a dreamy key that glowed with a phantom light from his hand.
That was the catalyst that Lis had prepared for “Dream Refraction” a few days ago. With this key, he could invoke the power of the Dream World, shattering the interval between worlds and drawing upon that terrifying dream strength.
Holding the key, Lis felt somewhat relieved.
At that time, Lis noticed an army rapidly approaching from the direction of the Ice Castle Royal Palace.
Was that… the Royal Court Guard Army?
At this moment, Anna, clad in a majestic silver armor, was leading the Royal Tributor Strong People and the Royal Court Guard Army, rushing over to join the battle.
This was his decision, and it was also approved by the other ministers.
Anna and the blood-soaked Duke Ward exchanged a distant glance; without any verbal communication, Duke Ward waved his subordinates to clear a path and let Anna’s troops fill in.
The addition of this fresh force broke the balance of the battlefield.
Especially the entry of those dozens of Gold Level tributor strong ones, who spread out and slaughtered the gold demons, tipping the scales toward the human side.
More and more Abyss Demons fell beneath the edge of the human soldiers’ blades, and their madness was of no avail.
Under Lis’s watchful eye, everything seemed to be moving toward a better outcome.
In the battlefield, the human army’s front line was persistently advancing towards the space rift, tearing apart all Abyss Demons that stood in their way, and it seemed that they would soon destroy that grim scar of the world.
BOOM!!!
Just then, a tremendous thunderous sound resounded through the sky, a noise that seemed to reach deep into the soul.
A huge meteor, emanating a white glow, appeared in the distant sky, streaking across the sky of Ice Peak City. Not even the clouds could stop that dazzling light!
But as the resplendent light fell, it gradually dissipated and ultimately came to nothing above the high skies of Ice Peak City.
A light rain began to fall, shrouding the entirety of Ice Peak City in a palpable sadness.
Rain?
Wiping the rain off his face, everyone on the battlefield was somewhat surprised. What was going on? This was Ice Peak City in winter!
Only Lis’s eyes widened in disbelief as he murmured,
“How is this possible?”
“Is this… ‘The Sorrow of the World’?”
