77: First conquest

The Demon's ultimate move successfully blocked the charge of the knight order, and countless knights wailed in agony amidst the nether flames.

The monsters naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, unleashing a barrage of skills.

Soon, the low-level knights and knight attendants suffered heavy casualties, with more than half the army lost.

The remaining knights weren't having an easy time either; without the charge bonus, they found themselves struggling against the monsters.

Many knights discarded their cumbersome lances and drew the longswords hanging on their warhorses, slashing at the Demons.

The Demons weren't afraid of melee combat, especially against these knights with weak attacks.

Their Doom Siphon skill could continuously drain opponents to replenish themselves, making them more energetic the longer they fought.

At this moment, the Snake-people also closed in; they were all masters of close combat.

Longswords were rapidly wielded in their hands, cutting wildly like meat grinders.

The knights had never seen such a sight and were caught off guard by countless sword shadows.

The Worm Army underground also seized the opportunity, popping up to harvest heads.

Many knights who fell off their warhorses were entangled by countless Worms before they could even get up.

Even Beelzebub came to join the fun; once his sky-obscuring fly swarm army appeared, it was a disaster.

Under the combined encirclement of the Abyss Army, the knight order was quickly annihilated, and even the Earth Knight didn't survive.

Only the Sky Knight Gavin, relying on his powerful strength, broke out from the monsters, constantly shifting in the air and killing monsters one by one.

Cain watched the mighty Gavin, exchanged a glance with Apollo, and charged forward together.

The Desert Dragon beneath his feet also charged out with Cain.

Now that the Demon Dragon Lord was late, as one of the few experts in the Abyss Army, it was natural for them to restrain the enemy experts.

As for Beelzebub, forget it; its abilities were now entirely focused on its summoned creatures.

Seeing the two surround him, Gavin cleared the surrounding monsters with a single sword strike and flashed forward to meet them.

The Desert Dragon panted as it ran closer, but could only look up at the figures of the few people constantly flickering in the air.

Facing the powerful Gavin, Cain and Apollo dared not let him get close and could only continuously wear down his strength from a distance.

Cain controlled the distance between himself and Gavin, with Blood Tide Siphon constantly draining his life.

Once he pulled away, he would shoot out bloody orbs from his hand; if Gavin got close, he would use Blood Shadow Strike to escape.

Apollo mainly used Fear Tentacles to restrain his opponent, occasionally shooting dark magic spears to harass him.

If Gavin got close, he would unleash Wailing Fear to control his movements; sometimes Cain would also use Sonic Shock to supplement the control.

Gavin naturally wouldn't let them toy with him, rapidly swinging his longsword to block each attack.

Taking advantage of the moment Apollo was gathering magic spears, Gavin merged his entire being with the longsword in his hand, transforming into a giant sword that slashed towards Apollo.

Apollo was caught off guard and swept by the giant sword; the sword light almost cut him in half, and the immense impact sent him crashing down from high altitude.

Gavin naturally wouldn't miss such a good opportunity; as long as he could kill one, the other would be easy to deal with.

He charged with his longsword towards the spot where Apollo had fallen.

However, Apollo had long since vanished; nothing was found at the spot except a large pit.

Countless meters underground, Apollo was lurking like a dead dog.

Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten his signature skill from before his Evolution, or he would have been finished today.

Under the super strong regeneration ability of Flesh Regeneration, his injuries were recovering at a visible speed.

Once his injuries were healed, Apollo burst out of the ground again and resumed the entanglement.

In just this short time, Cain had already been chased and slashed several times by Gavin; if he couldn't transform into a swarm of bats to reduce damage, he would have returned to the Abyss long ago.

Seeing Apollo appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What surprised him even more was a massive figure rapidly rushing towards them in the distance – it was the Demon Dragon!

It turned out that the slain Demon had reported the appearance of a fifth-order expert to the Abyss, and Ye Chen immediately sent a Little Devil to teleport to Kain City to wake up the Demon Dragon.

Learning it was Ye Chen's command, the Demon Dragon finally charged over, full of morning grumpiness.

As the surrounding air gradually heated up, the monsters nearby were suddenly invigorated.

They naturally knew what this meant.

The keen Gavin also sensed the change in the surrounding environment; the air around him began to distort, and heatwaves rolled like something substantial.

Looking at Cain and Apollo again, both had expressions of anticipation, which made his heart sink sharply.

To be able to change the weather, what level of expert was this?

Before he could figure it out, a massive figure appeared in his field of vision.

Before Gavin could react, he was firmly grasped by the Demon Dragon's massive claws; intense pain instantly swept through his entire body.

Looking up, a pair of burning vertical pupils were glaring fiercely at him, the contained rage seemingly wanting to ignite him.

Before he could say anything, the Demon Dragon swallowed him whole.

In the end, all three Sky Knights met their demise in the mouth of the Demon Dragon, turning into piles of excrement.

After eliminating the last resistance, the remaining matters were easy to handle.

Under the elusive attacks of the Abyss Army, Triumphal City was quickly annihilated.

The Roman Emperor was even turned into Blood Clan by the wickedly amused Cain, becoming the Emperor's master for a while.

Cain held a grand sacrifice ceremony outside Triumphal City, sacrificing the entire Ailan plane to the Abyss.

In an instant, the sky of the entire Ailan World changed.

The sun was eroded by darkness, and the entire world plunged into boundless darkness.

Fierce winds howled, carrying the whispers of the Abyss.

The surviving people watched the monumental changes in the world with terror; the world-ending disaster slowly unfolded before their eyes, and they could only quietly await their demise.

Endless fear completely engulfed them.

Apollo, who sank into the Abyss along with the Ailan World, felt exhilarated; massive amounts of fear aura permeated the entire world.

All creatures erupted with their most primal fear in this world-ending crisis.

And for Apollo, this was no less than the top-tier tonic.

Countless fear auras surged towards Apollo, almost bursting him.

Nourished by fear, Apollo's level rapidly increased...

Soon, he reached the critical point of the third order and broke through with irresistible force.

Finally, his level settled at Epic Tier 4 Six Stars, successfully advancing to “Fear Demon General”!

Meanwhile, Ye Chen in the Abyss saw a massive world slowly squeezing into the Abyss.

No... this is too big, the Abyss will break!

However, the Abyss didn't break because of this; instead, it became even stronger.

This was an entire world; it couldn't be compared to a God Domain of a thousand or eight hundred square kilometers.

For the Abyss, this was a proper meal; the previous skirmishes weren't even considered snacks.

As the Ailan World slowly fell into the Abyss, the aura of the Abyss rapidly permeated the world.

In just an instant, it killed ninety percent of the creatures in the Ailan World.

Most ordinary people rapidly perished the moment they were corroded by the Abyss.

Only professionals could hold on for a bit longer.

Those low-level professionals barely resisted the Abyss's corrosion with Qi, but they didn't notice their bodies changing little by little.

Soon, these first and second-order professionals were completely corroded by the Abyss.

Their bodies began to twist and deform, growing horns, claws, or various strange tissues, eventually turning into “Demons” of various forms.

Imp, Quasit, Scythe Demon, Dretch, Abyssal Cultist, Manes...

Ye Chen stared dumbfounded at the Demon Army before him, never expecting his dream to be realized in this way.

With just this, millions of “Demons” were added to the Abyss.

But what are these things? Each one is a twisted mess; why does it feel like the combat power of these “Demons” is far worse than that of Little Devils...
