Revenge
"Boom!"
Another deafening roar.
Under the commander's orders, more than a dozen Steam Tank opened fire simultaneously, bombarding a single point with their main cannons, instantly wiping out thousands of demons from the earth.
A huge gap suddenly appeared in the middle of the demon horde.
The steel behemoth, carrying billowing steam, charged straight in, smashing countless demons away with its massive steel ram, and then crushing them with unstoppable force.
"Charge!"
"Counterattack the Abyss!"
Accompanied by the resounding bugle call, the Empire concentrated seven divisions to launch a surprise attack from the center. Hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers, led by Steam Tank, broke into the enemy lines, forming a cone-shaped offensive.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Amidst the roar of artillery fire, artillery units behind provided cover fire for the advance and deployment of infantry and Steam Tank.
The Steam Tank charged into the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, using their powerful magic Steam Cannon to eliminate the most powerful Gorebull Devil and Demon Hunter Spider.
The infantry followed behind the Steam Tank to provide support, blocking attacks from the sky and flanks and clearing obstacles in their path. They fired powerful fire at the Abyss Dragon Beast and floating monsters that descended from the sky.
The Embers of the Burned Empire's coordinated infantry, tanks, and artillery attacks have begun to show results, and with the addition of numerous extraordinary powers, the empire's offensive has become even more ferocious.
The mage continuously unleashed spells from the rear, with various flames, lightning, and radiance clashing across the battlefield, easily annihilating the demons.
After initially gaining air superiority, the Embers of the Burned Dragon Legion repeatedly swept over the demon horde, dropping terrifying White Phosphorus Bomb that caused massive explosions.
Then the Dragonkin Paladin Order advanced steadily, like a mobile fortress, clearing away the most powerful monsters blocking the Empire's offensive.
In an instant, under the empire's fierce counterattack, these demons actually began to collapse, and the Abyss Legion's lines were ruthlessly broken and torn apart.
"Aww—"
A massive Slaughter Devil blocked the Steam Tank's path, its mantis-like limbs tearing through the armor plating.
However, not far away, Imperial soldiers kept firing at it, a hail of bullets raining down on the Slaughter Devil's exoskeleton armor, making clanging sounds.
Then, arrows with armor-piercing and Purification effects shot out from the distant group of players, piercing straight into the body of the Slaughter Devil.
Fireballs, lightning, and acid rained down on the Slaughter Devil, the various types of magical energy practically giving the enormous demon a bath.
"Where's the caster? Keep up the DPS! Cover the tank!"
"Prepare to die, you big worm!"
"For the Empire!"
"Aww!"
The Slaughter Devil roared to the sky, destroying the tank even more frantically, trying to vent its bloodlust.
Just then, a loud dragon roar came from the sky.
"Roar--"
Even the Slaughter Devil was terrified by the dragon's might, standing frozen in place, its body trembling slightly.
A dozen or so Red Scale Conqueror swooped down with unstoppable momentum.
With the powerful kinetic energy of its descent from high above, the lances pierced through the carapace of the Slaughter Devil, penetrating its torso and Limbs.
Meanwhile, Alger, the leader of the Red Scale Conqueror, swung his Eternally Burning Greatsword through the air, and with the sound of flesh and bone being torn apart, he cleanly and decisively severed the head of the Slaughter Devil.
"For the Empire!"
The Wyvern circled in the sky, letting out loud roars once more; at this moment, they almost dominated the sky.
Those deformed, floating monsters were no longer able to hunt Wyvern —because dozens of real dragons were constantly hunting them down.
"Aww—"
With a roar, the more than twenty-meter-long White Dragon pounced on a monster from the Abyss.
She first used her sharp claws to cut open the huge body that was soaked in mucus, and then spat out extremely cold frost.
With a low, mournful wail, half of the monster's body was frozen solid. It fell from the sky and crashed to the ground, turning into a pile of frozen flesh fragments.
"Moo—"
The Gorebull Devil took heavy steps, picked up a boulder from the ground, and hurled it, crushing many imperial soldiers.
"Careful!"
"Get a flesh-based injury! Quickly!"
Faced with the swarming army of Starfallers, the Gorebull Devil's eyes turned bloodshot, and foul-smelling hot air spewed from its nostrils.
It first raised its hoof, then stomped down hard, pressing its terrifying weight onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The earth cracked and the ground trembled as dozens of players were trampled to death on the spot by the crazed Gorebull Devil.
The Gorebull Devil charged forward on all Limbs, rubbing its hooves together, like a massive bull, attempting to crush everything in its path.
However, what stood before it was not the fragile mortals one might imagine, but rather a group of Dragonkin Paladin, wielding massive shields and clad in heavy armor, arranged in a tight formation! "Boom!"
The Gorebull Devil crashed into the formation, but it failed to shatter a single giant shield, shake their tight formation, or even elicit a single cry of alarm from the Dragonkin Paladin.
The blazing chains of fire bound them together, sharing all the impacts they were receiving. The power of the dragon flames scorched the Gorebull Devil's body, leaving scorch marks on its fur.
The Gorebull Devil glared angrily at these overconfident "little guys" in front of him, feeling extremely puzzled.
Based on the limited experience it possessed in its walnut-sized brain, these seemingly human creatures should have been easily crushed and forced to flee.
Why didn't its power crush these insignificant mortals? Why were they so fearless? At this moment, however, the Dragonkin Paladin looked up at the Gorebull Devil, their golden eyes blazing with fire, revealing a hint of excitement.
"Kill!"
Anthony raised his massive shield, his eyes cold as he commanded, "Slay this demon! Place its head on the altar as a blood sacrifice to the Dragon Lord!"
"Blood sacrifice to the Dragon Lord!"
"Kill it!"
The Dragonkin Paladin roared in unison, raising their spears and greatswords.
The offensive was immediately reversed.
The Dragonkin Paladin formed a tight formation and surrounded the Gorebull Devil, thrusting out spears from different directions. The sharp, flaming spearheads pierced the Gorebull Devil's hide, leaving it covered in wounds.
Then, Paladin in the back row raised their longswords, and streams of flame descended from the sky, landing on the Gorebull Devil's head, entangling and burning it.
"Aww—"
In just a moment, the Gorebull Devil let out a painful wail, struggled frantically, and blood gushed from all over its body.
"Becoming a sacrifice to the Dragon Lord will be the last honor of your life!"
However, Anthony suddenly leaped up and hurled his spear through the air, piercing directly through the Gorebull Devil's chest and piercing its constantly beating heart, which surged with Abyss power.
"Boom!"
The Gorebull Devil, which was over ten meters tall, crashed down, causing the earth to crack and kicking up clouds of dust.
It should be noted that Gorebull Devil of this size are extremely rare even in the Abyss. They are regarded as valuable siege weapons by the Abyss Lord and are the darlings of the battlefield.
But now, this Gorebull Devil has died in the chaos of the battlefield, succumbing to the siege of the Dragonkin Paladin.
"Well done, gentlemen."
"The Dragon Lord's eyes observe everything in the world, and at this moment, He is watching your courageous and fearless performance."
Surrounded by the Paladin, Anthony stepped forward, drew his longsword, and swiftly severed the massive bull's head.
The Dragonkin Paladin present all reached out towards the head, and instantly, wild flames engulfed and incinerated it.
In the end, the Gorebull Devil's head completely disappeared, leaving not even ashes, while the flames on the ground burned even brighter, with a dragon-shaped phantom roaring within them.
—Clearly, it has already been sacrificed to His Majesty by the Dragonkin Paladin.
At this moment, surrounded by numerous high-ranking demons, on the back of that massive, hill-like Abyss Giant Monster.
Leo, or rather the Demon Commander, stared intently at the approaching Imperial army in the distance, watching their overwhelming and fierce offensive.
He was about to grind his teeth to dust, and an uncontrollable hatred surged in his murky eyes.
"It's happening again."
"It's happening again! These damned scumbags can't even destroy a bunch of lowly mortals!"
The scene before him reminded Leo of the unforgettable war ten years ago that had destroyed everything he had.
His troops were also an army that believed they would never be defeated, while the empire was launching a fierce barrage of artillery fire and an overwhelming offensive.
This time, however, both our side and the empire have become much stronger.
"Damn it. Damn it!"
"This time I possess the power of the Great Abyss, how could I possibly lose to a bunch of mortals!"
Flames roared from Leo's eyes, and a powerful pressure spread out, while the chaotic power of the Abyss danced wildly in mid-air.
Red and black flames spewed from the ground, instantly burning many unfortunate demons to a crisp, causing all the surrounding demons to tremble with fear.
"Lord Leo is angry."
"Hahaha, they're going to pay the price!"
"These foolish mortals, how dare they provoke such a demon!"
Whispers arose from the demon horde.
Leo Bosk, the agent of Jierlazarax, is known as the "Vengeance Soul".
In the years since he was transformed into a demon, he has represented the will of Jierlazarax, devouring millions of vile and filthy souls in the Abyss, accumulating immense Abyss power.
His strength has reached an unprecedented level. It is said that with the help of the Revenge Devil, he can rival some Abyss Lord.
"Boom!"
Leo Bosk suddenly leaped off the back of the Abyss Giant Monster, kicking up clouds of dust on the ground.
"Keosius— "
He raised his head and roared at the sky with all his might.
A fiery flame of vengeance shot from the demon's eyes, his purplish-black veins bulged, and raging flames burned on his body, swirling around him with acrid sulfurous smoke.
The ferocious and powerful figure grew larger and larger, and the wings on its back became wider and wider.
"I know you're watching all of this! You should feel both fear and honor at my arrival."
"Because—I will tear your army apart, destroy your empire, and annihilate everything you have! Just like you did to me!"
The powerful roar echoed across the battlefield, even drowning out the sound of artillery fire, leaving everyone on the battlefield feeling deafened.
"Who's speaking!"
"This is an unforgivable blasphemy!"
Anthony roared furiously, and the Dragonkin Paladin were also enraged, as if their faith had been trampled upon.
"Holy crap? Such a huge formation, could it be the final boss?"
"Wait a minute, something's not right with his lines! Thinking back to the previous plot, could this thing be the same Prison Lion from the last version?"
The players discussed it with some curiosity, and some even guessed the origin of the demon commander.
"He's about to make his move!"
"These mortals have no chance against an enraged commander!"
The demons, on the other hand, let out hoarse, maniacal laughter, eagerly anticipating what was to come.
Demons, humans, Tiefling, Hobgoblin, Blue Dragon, and Ogre all focused their attention on the source of the sound.
A nearly twenty-meter-tall demon, forged from fire and flesh, burst through the billowing smoke and appeared high in the sky, its hideous and terrifying appearance like a nightmare in everyone's heart.
He had long, jet-black horns on his head, and his skin was a scarlet red, like the exposed flesh and blood of Bokai's skin.
"Boom--"
The demon stretched out its powerful arms, wielding Flame Whip in its right hand and drawing a crackling Storm Greatsword from the chaos in its left.
His broad bat wings flapped slowly, stirring up a scorching wind, and his eyes spewed out intense, blinding flames, making him seem like the incarnation of a god of destruction.
This is Balor, an existence standing at the top of the Abyss, the embodiment of the Abyss's will to destroy and kill.
"Revenge--"
"Destroy--"
Balor roared again, then flapped its broad wings, swept across the land, and arrived at the front line where the battle was most intense.
"Get out of the way!"
"He's coming!"
Seeing the fierce and unstoppable fire demon approaching, the imperial officer hurriedly gave a warning.
However, it was too late.
Balor wielded his Storm Greatsword, its massive blade crackling with lightning. The sword's sharpness was concealed in the blinding flashes of electricity as he slashed directly at the Empire's army.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
A torrent of lightning swept across the land, crisscrossing among those fragile bodies, instantly engulfing hundreds of people.
The terrifying storm of blades cleaved a Steam Tank in two, causing it to explode and killing dozens of soldiers nearby.
"Fear--"
The Balor opened its massive, blood-red maw and roared once more.
He swung the Flame Whip in mid-air, then lashed it at the Empire's dragon beast legion.
"Smack!"
A giant whip, tens of meters long, came flying through the air, as if tearing a hideous crimson rift in space.
"Aww—"
With the mournful cry of the giant beast, more than a dozen Terrestrial Dragon Beast were lashed by the long whip and fell to the ground with a thud.
Huge wounds appeared on their torsos, their massive bodies almost split in two, and the Chaos Fire of the Abyss still burned at the wounds.
Thunder and flames raged across the battlefield, cracks stretched across the earth, and scorching fire surged from the gaps in the ground.
"Did you see that?"
"This is the insignificance of mortals! This is the power of the Abyss!"
Meanwhile, the Balor roared madly in the sky, reaping lives with the ruthlessness of death.
