Chapter 490, Section 489: The Calamity of Wrath

With a series of deafening, bell-like sounds, the defensive magic barrier inscribed on the walls of Three Mountains City shattered one after another, and the rate of destruction accelerated.

When the final barrier shattered like glass, the entire mountain city began to tremble violently. The city walls built against the mountain broke in the middle, and half of the mountain collapsed amidst a deafening roar.

The boulders carrying the tower rolled down, crushing the buildings along the way into ruins.

A pure, holy light suddenly pierced through the smoke and dust, enveloping the entire mountaintop. But this radiance lasted only a few breaths before disappearing with another muffled thud.

In the distance, Xenophon, who had just defeated Alama's reinforcements, and another vampire duke reined in their mounts.

The Pigman Duke squinted and looked towards the direction of Three Mountain City: "Is that a backup plan that Lord Vesalius prepared?"

“No,” the vampire duke recalled the blood-red curtain that had appeared in the sky not long ago, “it must have been something His Majesty brought.”

Just then, the dust rising from the direction of Sanshan City suddenly began to roll towards their location.

Xenophon sniffed twice and gripped the blood-stained battle axe on his back: "I have a bad feeling."

"They're here!"

A twisted figure sped towards them at a speed beyond visual perception.

At the critical moment, the vampire duke raised his arms, and the surging blood instantly condensed into a huge dark red blood shield in front of the army.

boom--!

The blood shield couldn't even hold for a moment. The figure smashed through the blood shield, and the flying blood crystals shot backward like bullets, killing swarms of demon soldiers.

The figure passed through the blood shield and crashed directly into the vampire duke. He didn't even have time to show a look of astonishment before he was like a water bag being hit by a battering ram, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

The figure crashed heavily to the ground.

The earth trembled violently as if struck by a meteorite, and a ring-shaped shockwave carrying debris radiated outwards. Demon soldiers within a radius of tens of meters were torn to pieces by this massive shockwave.

Xenophon was thrown away by the shockwave, and the pigman's thick skin was torn open with countless gashes by the shockwave.

He scrambled to his feet, unable to believe his eyes: "What was that?!"

The figure slowly rose from the crater.

The original human outline had long since disappeared. The shattered body was supported by the surging blue flames within it, expanding to a height of more than two meters. The head was replaced by the gushing energy, making the facial features completely unrecognizable.

In Xenophon's eyes, the creature before him did not resemble a human, but rather some kind of deadly elemental being.

"roar--!"

The inhuman roar shook the air, causing layers of air to surge forth.

Xenophon activated all his trump cards without hesitation. War Fury made his muscles swell, Bloodlust turned his eyes blood red, and Ancestral Totem condensed into six blood-red halos behind him.

He gripped his old partner, "The Slaughterer," with both hands, the axe blade turning crimson as it vibrated.

Then his world came to a standstill.

The dark blue figure had appeared face-to-face with someone unnoticed.

Xenophon didn't even see the movement clearly; he only felt a chill in his chest.

He looked down and saw that there was only a huge empty hole in the center of his obese body.

The battle axe was still held high in the air, and the light of all the burst skills dimmed one by one.

"impossible……"

The instantaneous deaths of the two commanders directly shattered the morale of the demon army.

The soldiers scattered and fled like a frightened herd of beasts. But the burning figure did not stop, and began to slaughter them.

In reality, the demon soldiers were not without hope of escape.

The rage, lacking any reconnaissance skills, relies entirely on raw visual tracking, leaving the fugitive with a glimmer of hope.

The mage who cast the invisibility spell successfully blended into the air, and the scouts draped in camouflage nets clung to the rock walls, even burrowing into piles of corpses, all of which could easily deceive her.

Of course, these methods of evasion are full of risks, and it is quite normal to be killed by a large-scale damage wave while trying to hide.

Moreover, as long as they break away from the main force and escape far enough, they can survive by chance. In order to kill as many lives as possible, their furious attacks are always directed at the areas where the demons gather.

When the entire demon army was completely scattered and turned into scattered small groups of fleeing soldiers, the figure finally turned around and rushed towards the last target—the retreating remnants of the Alama army.

...

Lin Jun felt that the stone tablet she had sunk to the bottom of the lake might finally come in handy.

I'll give it to Pink Puji; his dad will be able to use it soon.

Lin Jun had roughly figured out the situation of this guy's rage; his soul was burning.

From humans to demons, from lowly commoners to powerful figures like sword saints, Lin Jun has tasted countless souls and witnessed countless deaths.

Whether one is killed by swords, eaten by monsters, burned, drowned, or corroded, no matter how gruesome the death, it seems to have no effect on the soul.

When an intelligent being dies, its soul breaks free from its constraints and merges into the world as the body disappears.

The destruction of a soul... this was truly the first time Lin Jun had ever witnessed it.

Even so, the power unleashed by the rage was still too outrageous, akin to a soul core fission.

The current Rage, judging from its stats alone, has already surpassed the Emperor's, and is still increasing at an ever-growing rate.

Of course, from the perspective of "inspiration," she also doesn't have much "fuel" left.

But that should be enough to deal with Alama.

After taking a look, Lin Jun saw that the pink pupae were still trapped in the net and tried to make a move.

[Family Creator]

A magical vortex suddenly appeared on the battlefield where the attack was being held, and countless corpses of the fallen and the mycelium on the ground were swept into it.

At the same time, Number Four, who was complaining that Pinky's legs were not flexible and that it was too slow to move in the net and had to keep pushing itself, suddenly kicked its legs and stopped moving.

Lin Jun extracted its soul and stuffed it into the giant beast Puji that was being generated.

As the magical vortex dissipated, the enormous plop crashed to the ground.

Pfft—Chirp—

Number Four, who had suddenly changed into a mushroom body, looked around blankly and found that everything had become extremely small.

"Stop spacing out, stop her!" The image of her enraged, high-speed movement was directly transmitted into Number Four's consciousness.

"This power...this size! No problem, Master!"

Puji didn't seem to be among the targets of the enraged attack; even though the giant Puji was so conspicuous, she still intended to walk straight past its feet.

The speed of her rage was astonishing; Number Four had to continuously use her detection skill just to barely track her movements.

Although it can't keep up in speed, number four has an absolute size advantage!

Four mycelial tentacles spread out side by side, like a giant wall sweeping towards the raging fury.

"Fly away, hahaha!"

The naive Number Four was unaware of the kind of being he was facing.

The moment that tiny figure collided with the four giant tentacles, a muffled thud was heard, and the tentacles exploded.

Enraged, she finally turned her attention to the giant beast, Puji, that was attacking her.

Number Four stared blankly at its severed tentacles, momentarily wondering if they were made of paper.

Lin Jun: The plan is in place.
