The Demon God and the Angels

A ray of favor from the world fell upon this serf boy, transforming his originally humble and hunched figure into one that was upright and extraordinary.

His fate changed at that moment, just like his heart, which held infinite possibilities.

For the first time, he looked up at the sky and gazed at the stars in the heavens.

"I cannot rely on the king, nor can I depend on the gods; I can only rely on myself."

"I must live on, and live better than anyone else."

At this moment, although he was just a mortal, he was no longer ordinary.

At least, being among these refugees, he wouldn't die easily; he would survive.

When Youlun led the Kingdom's Knight army into the city of Hast Fortress.

A high-ranking nobleman from the Hast Duchy came to greet them.

This is a young nobleman, and the younger brother of the current Hasite Duke Hast.

Upon first meeting Youlun, he placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head to express his respect.

"Your Highness Youlun, my name is Lain. I am sorry, your parents died in battle against the Abyss."

"The King and nobles of all nations are deeply saddened, for they are symbols of nobility. We believe that their souls will surely ascend to the Divine Kingdom of the Lord of Order and Justice."

"Besides."

"The Duchy is deeply grateful for your courage in leading your troops to Hast Fortress to provide reinforcements at this critical time."

Upon seeing this, Youlun quickly dismounted.

"Your Excellency, you are too kind."

"This isn't just politeness; it's our sincere sentiment."

The Marquis shook his head and spoke.

"The Gate of Anno, after the continental coalition suffered a crushing defeat."

"Many countries in the continental coalition were so frightened by the incarnation of the Abyss Demon God that they fled and never returned."

"These people are utterly unworthy of the name of nobility!"

Hast Fortress, a believer in the God of Order and Justice, naturally scorned these cowards.

But he did not name those countries, which was an unspoken rule among the nobility.

"It is truly gratifying that you dared to personally lead a large army to provide support at this critical time."

They were quite impressed.

"The world speaks of your reputation as a playboy, but in my opinion, that reputation is utterly meaningless today."

He sighed.

"Back then, I had heard of your reputation, but now I understand that rumors should not be believed. Only what you actually see is the truth. I am ashamed."

Youlun blushed upon hearing this.

The rumors are actually true, but his actions have created a very strong illusion.

He changed the subject.

"Lord Lain, where have the Abyss Demon progressed to?"

"The western part of the duchy has now completely fallen."

A hint of hatred flashed across Marquis Lain's face.

His fiefdom might be located in the western region!

"Now, the Duchy's Dragon Knight returned this morning to report that the Demon army has arrived at the Silver Flower River and is only one day away from Hast Fortress."

"So fast!"

Youlun was horrified.

"Demon possess Demon God incarnations; under their forced control, they naturally move swiftly."

"Let's go, Youlun Highness, I will take you to the council chamber, where the commanders of the allied forces are all located."

Thank you.

Youlun nodded, summoned a few nobles to follow him, and then sent the other Knight to the garrison that Marquis Lain had designated for them.

Upon arriving at the council hall of the duchy, Youlun met with many commanders of the continental coalition.

Seated in the main seat was, naturally, the Emperor of the Fetrola Magic Empire and the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, Sero.

Below him were representatives of the Greater God churches of the gods, King or Legendary from various countries who had come to support them, and several Legendary powerhouses who looked like Elf but possessed extraordinary aura.

Youlun knew that these were all legendary Legendary had been transformed into Dragon, most likely Gold Dragon or Silver Dragon. They were righteous and renowned benevolent dragons in the Void.

Upon his arrival.

Emperor Sero remained calm, but nodded in praise.

"I am very pleased that you have gathered the elite forces of the Kingdom of Randy and brought them here, Youlun Highness Yulen."

"Your Majesty, my parents died at the hands of Demon, and as their son, I will avenge them."

Youlun bowed and began to speak.

My condolences.

The emperor spoke, and the leaders of the various countries and churches present also spoke up.

"Since you're here, you can sit down."

The emperor pointed to a spot to the side, which was located in the middle of the leaders of the various states; it seemed to be a temporary addition.

Youlun nodded and went to sit down.

The emperor, meanwhile, continued explaining his plans to a huge sand table.

"Gentlemen, the Demon army will be at our gates in a day. This battle is unavoidable..."

As the emperor spoke, the crowd occasionally offered their opinions.

Beside Youlun, a blond Elf Legendary patted him on the shoulder and whispered.

"I'm so sorry, child, I couldn't save your parents. They actually died at the hands of the incarnation of the Demon God of Slaughter, Kailunse."

Youlun turned around, looked at the golden-haired Elf, and exclaimed in surprise.

"You are... Princess Aurika?"

"It's me."

Gold Dragon Aurika looked grief-stricken.

"The power of the Demon God god's avatar is too great. Although it is limited by the Prime Material World, it surpasses that of ordinary Legendary and Demigod. We cannot stop it."

Youlun raised a question.

"If that's the case, why are the nations and the church still here to stop the Demon army?"

This time is different.

Gold Dragon Aurika spoke softly.

"Rest assured this time, the Church of Wisdom and Heritage has established contact with the Heaven Archon Angel. Tomorrow, an Angel Battle Group will descend to earth to help us."

"Angel?!"

Youlun was surprised.

"It seems that this time, we will be able to defeat this Demon God incarnation."

"Hopefully so. The power of Angel is not necessarily stronger than that of Demon God incarnate."

Aurika didn't seem to have much faith in the Angel Battle Group that was about to come to their aid.

Aurika seemed to sense his confusion and explained.

"It's the Archon Angel who have come, not the White Sky Angel. The Archon Angel are much weaker than the White Sky Angel Archon Angel, and their King of Angel doesn't like the six major churches on the continent. So, the Void Angels who have come this time are probably not very powerful."

"So, you'll fight me tomorrow. This time, I won't let my friend's only son die before my eyes."

Aurika added her instructions.

"Uh... okay."

Seeing the solemn expression on Gold Dragon Legendary's face, Youlun accepted his kindness.

The next day.

Youlun followed the others to the top of the tall walls of Hast Fortress, where countless Knight and Warrior already stood, creating a solemn and imposing atmosphere.

He looked down at the city's surroundings. Most of the refugees who had fled from the west had already continued their escape eastward, while only a small number of those who were too exhausted to walk remained outside the city walls to await their deaths.

A hint of reluctance flashed across his face, but he still did nothing.

If Hast Fortress cannot withstand the Demon army, his Kingdom of Randy will suffer the same fate.

He gazed westward into the distance.

The sundial's shadow was just shrunk to its shortest length, and the midday sun hung overhead, illuminating the world in a ghastly white light.

At this very moment.

Suddenly, countless black dots appeared on the western horizon. At first, they were just fine dust particles, but in an instant, they surged in like a tidal wave.

The sounds of hooves, neighing, and flapping of bone wings rolled in with the wind, making the bricks and stones of the city wall tremble slightly.

That was the Demon army that had invaded the Abyss this time.

The vanguard formed a burning ocean, with countless Flame Demon charging forward with burning bone blades, their bodies enveloped in churning crimson flames. Wherever they passed, the grass withered instantly, and the soil was scorched into dark red clay.

Behind the Flame Demon were the hunched, bluish-gray Rotplague Demon. They dragged their festering, pus-filled limbs, leaving a pungent stench and staining the ground with a dark purple corpse-like plague.

Further on were the massive, mountain-like Bulwark Demon. Each step they took caused the earth to tremble violently; their broad bodies were like moving fortresses, and they wielded giant hammers forged from Abyss rock, capable of easily smashing through city walls.

Countless Soul-Devouring Flying Demon with bat wings, sharp teeth, and claws hovered in the air. Their eyes glowed with eerie green flames, and their shrieks were deafening. They fed exclusively on the souls of living beings.

Deeper into the shadows, the slender, jet-black Shadow Assassin Demon could be vaguely seen. They were adept at concealing themselves within the black mist, their figures elusive, each wielding a slender bone spike coated with Abyss poison.

There are also Acid Demon, covered in hard scales and spewing strong acid venom, Nightmare Demon, with twisted bodies and constantly emitting mental interference, and numerous but short Lemure, and so on.

However, the Succubus that Youlun had been hoping for did not appear.

The entire western land has been completely engulfed by this Demon legion, a mixture of fire, plague, shadow, and brute force. Roaring and wielding all sorts of deadly weapons, they are like a world-ending tidal wave spreading from Hell, pressing towards Hast Fortress.

The soldiers guarding the city wall had already gripped their weapons tightly, the clanging of their armor plates creating a continuous sound.

And in their final moments.

It was a colossal black shadow that blotted out the sky. Its aura was vast and its majesty unfathomable. Its pair of enormous scarlet eyes were like two Sun, looking down upon the continental coalition forces.

It was as if a god had descended to earth, and an aura of evil and chaos filled the heavens and earth, turning day into darkness.

Youlun stared intently at him.

"Kailunse, the incarnation of the Demon of Slaughter!"

Just as the Demon God descended, and the army trembled in fear.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky.

The next second.

Endless radiance pierced the dark sky, bringing the Radiance of hope.

Not long after.

A legion of Angel Battle Group clad in golden armor descended from the sky, led by a stunningly beautiful Angel wielding a golden spear.

She shouted.

"I am Aoweiliya, Commander of the Archon Angel, here to punish you, Demon!"
