Lord Bethus, the Fear Lord, roared to the sky.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, four translucent wings, as thin as cicada wings, unfurled from its back.
With its four wings flapping rapidly, Bethus took off instantly, soaring into the sky at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
'boom!'
"Crackling!"
A large amount of silver lightning struck its body instantly.
But Bethus's newly grown Black Glazed Carapace armor was exceptionally strong.
The lightning struck it, and it slid directly to the ground...
However, this caused trouble for the Dread Fear Legion within the War Fortress.
Dense lightning covered most of the War Fortress, and the majority of the Dread Fear Legion's minions were wiped out in an instant.
But the final factor that would decide the outcome of the entire battle rested on the shoulders of Kaecilius and the Fear Lord Bethus...
Bethus flapped his wings and flew swiftly, arriving in front of the Giant Amplification Formation in the blink of an eye.
It grinned maliciously and shouted, "A mere magic array dares to try and stop the Fear Lord's advance..."
Bethus unleashed its terrifying claws, striking out in a cross shape...
'Tear~'
One by one, the Secret Rune of the Giant Amplification Formation broke.
The entire magic circle instantly became flickering...
Bethus passed through the amplification array and continued charging towards Kaecilius.
"Little bug, prepare to die!"
It raised its right claw and thrust it straight at Kaecilius.
'Sizzle!'
Kaecilius was too weak to dodge; Bethus's five claws pierced through his chest in an instant.
"Hehehehe~ You're really pathetic how weak you are~"
"Don't worry, little bug!"
"Once I kill you, I'll spread fear throughout the entire earth!"
Kaecilius coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face deathly pale, but his eyes were unusually bright!
" Fear Lord Bethus, I'll remember your name..."
Bethus stared at Kaecilius in astonishment.
"You...?!"
He couldn't glean even a trace of fear from Kaecilius.
"You feel absolutely no fear in the face of death?!"
Bethus couldn't see that Kaecilius's last bit of Health Bar was slowly burning up.
As Kaecilius felt death approaching, he was momentarily overcome with a sense of nostalgia.
"As you said, the taste of death... is indeed... alluring..."
His voice abruptly stopped.
The hand that was gripping Bethus's forearm dropped instantly.
Bethus:...
Although the enemy was dead, he felt no joy whatsoever.
The next second, with Kaecilius ' death, his body seemed to transform into a coordinate.
Countless Thunder ceased their impact on the ground and instead converged madly on Kaecilius's corpse.
Bethus's eyes widened instantly upon noticing.
"Asshole!!!"
It swung its arm, trying to send Kaecilius's corpse flying.
But Kaecilius's body seemed glued to its arm; no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't get rid of the corpse.
"Ah!!!"
Bethus flapped its wings frantically, transforming into a streak of Black Lightning and flying out of the War Fortress.
However, by then it was too late.
Thousands upon thousands of silver Thunder shot after Kaecilius's corpse.
In an instant, Bethus was enveloped by tens of thousands of silver lightning bolts.
'Crackling! Boom!!!'
The Black Glazed Carapace on the Fear Lord was instantly cracked by the lightning.
'Click!'
The black shell shattered into pieces, instantly exposing Bethus's body to the Thunder.
"No!!!"
Bathed in Thunder, the Fear Lord let out a terrifying scream.
A moment later, the Dark Clouds dispersed and the lightning disappeared.
After being ravaged by Thunder, the entire War Fortress was almost reduced to ruins.
The once countless minions of the Fear Legion, swarming like locusts, are now reduced to a few thousand remnants in the fortress square.
The surviving legionary minions scrambled restlessly around a massive 'corpse' emitting black smoke.
'boom!'
A deep tunnel suddenly opened up in front of the main hall of the War Fortress.
An army strode out of the tunnel.
It was none other than the Arbiter Detachment, who had perished alongside the minions of the Fear Legion of Dread, led by none other than Inquisitor Figo Muller, who had been torn apart by the Fear Lord's sneak attack.
Behind the Arbiter, another familiar figure emerged.
Archmage Kaecilius had a ruddy complexion and a calm expression.
As soon as the Arbiter emerged, they rushed to Fortress Square.
Inquisitor Figo conjured a Western Two-Handed Greatsword, pointed it at the remaining thousands of the Fear Legion minions, and commanded directly, " Arbiter, kill them all!"
The Arbiter responded with a resounding "Yes!" and, in groups of three, relentlessly slaughtered the Calamity Dimension Invader.
Soon, thousands of the Fear Legion were all killed.
The Arbiter were excitedly surrounding the 'corpse' of the Fear Lord, Bethus.
"Sir! May I take a piece of this giant insect's carapace as a trophy?"
"Sir! I want one too!"
"And me..."
"Me too..."
Kaecilius and Figo exchanged a glance.
Figo couldn't help but rub his forehead.
"I said..." he said weakly, "Is there any possibility that this guy isn't quite dead yet?"
"It's not dead yet?!?" Harris, the first one to be cut in half by the Fear Lord, exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated.
Figo pointed to the Health Bar and level 68 above the Fear Lord's head and said, "Look closely at his Health Bar, there's still a sliver of health left..."
"Also, look at its grade color, it's still red, OK?!"
"After it truly dies, its level will turn gray!"
" Crimson Chains of Destiny!" Kaecilius said calmly, raising his hand to shoot a Crimson Mana towards the heavily injured and unconscious Fear Lord.
A scarlet chain swiftly bound Bethus into a giant dumpling.
"Transfer it to Kamar-Taj!"
"We have extensive experience in dealing with these dimensional intruders."
Figo bowed respectfully to Kaecilius, placing his hand on his chest. "Then I entrust this to you, Master Kaecilius."
Kaecilius waved his hand. "No need for formalities, we both serve His Majesty the Lord of Crimson."
Then, he raised his hand and placed it on the Bethus card 'zongzi', focused his mind on connecting to the Ley Line Node of Kamar-Taj, and directly opened the door to send it there.
The battle in White Mist Sector 1 has temporarily come to an end.
However, the battles in the other White Fog zones were raging fiercely.
In the White Mist Sector 23, Thor the God of Thunder, wielding Mjolnir, soared into the sky, charging towards a massive Bone Dragon amidst golden Thunder.
But the next second, a giant hand suddenly descended from the sky, swatting him into the ground as if swatting a fly.
