72: Monsters I've never seen before
“But I’ll do my best!” Clarissa nodded. This was not only for the future, but also for source points. If she could, Clarissa wished she could go and kill all those demons right now!
“Alright, seeing you all doing so well now, I’m relieved. Just continue steadily! Contact me if anything happens! The communication stone is with the Gewo King! I just came back to check. Next, I plan to delve deep into the Demon King Army’s territory.” Clarissa said to everyone.
“Savior Apostle! Let’s be more cautious! You… aren’t you being too reckless? Even if your power is incredibly strong…” The Gewo King and the others heard Clarissa wanted to leave and go deep into the Demon King Army’s territory, and immediately panicked.
Clarissa could be said to be their current soul and backbone.
Now that this backbone was going to the Demon King Army’s territory, such a risky endeavor, if anything were to happen, their so-called “Salvation Alliance” would immediately fall apart.
“Don’t worry! My strength is beyond your imagination. Alright! You all develop well!” Clarissa waved her hand and said, the “Salvation Alliance” was just one of her pawns.
And it was conceived based on her previous “strength.”
Things were different now. Clarissa hadn’t expected her strength to surge to such an extent.
It was beyond her own imagination.
Seeing that they couldn’t persuade her, the Gewo King and the others could only watch helplessly as Clarissa disappeared into the horizon.
Clarissa’s decision to go to the Demon King Army’s territory was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
Although she didn’t know why the Ancient Demon God hadn’t appeared yet.
Then, she might as well take the initiative and stir up trouble within the Demon King Army.
It would be best if she could attract the Demon King and kill as many as possible.
Let’s see if that Ancient Demon God can still sit still!
Hopefully, the Ancient Demon God will appear then. Clarissa still wanted to clash with him. With so many trump cards, even if she couldn’t defeat him, he definitely wouldn’t be able to keep her!
Besides, Clarissa hadn’t used her full power yet. She also wanted to have a hearty battle.
Otherwise, her abilities would just sit there in the panel, unused, which would be too wasteful! That wouldn't do!
The only one she could use them against should be that Ancient Demon God! Clarissa thought, hoping he wouldn't disappoint her!
Whoosh!
Clarissa flew straight towards the Demon King Army’s territory.
“Hmm?!” Clarissa saw rolling smoke and dust of war rising in the distance.
What happened over there? Clarissa took out a map and glanced at it. Judging by the direction… that seemed to be the Lila Empire, right?
Clarissa frowned, subtly adjusted her flight path, and flew towards the Lila Empire.
As she flew a little closer, Clarissa’s astonishing eyesight clearly saw the current situation of the Lila Empire…
The scarred land, the cities already reduced to ruins and rubble, the piles of corpses and seas of blood, broken weapons, and shattered armor.
All of it spoke of the tragic intensity of the battle here.
“This… was it conquered?!” Clarissa frowned, not expecting the situation here to be so severe!
Without a sound, an empire was annihilated just like that.
Looking at the countless corpses, the ferocity of this war was imaginable.
There were no fewer than twenty Demon King Species corpses alone.
Clarissa scanned her surroundings.
She didn't find any survivors, nor did she find any trace of the Demon King Army after they conquered the Lila Empire.
“They conquered the Lila Empire, which means they’ve opened a breach, but why isn’t there any Demon King Army occupying this place? Are they simply here for slaughter?” Clarissa frowned. She couldn't analyze the situation here.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
The Demon God’s goal was nothing but to destroy the world! To completely exterminate humanity! A world only for demons!
“Wait…” Clarissa’s brow furrowed instantly, and she flew down towards the battlefield.
Landing on the ground, she clearly saw the corpses of these demons on the ground.
“Why are these demons completely different from the demons that attacked the Hossman Empire?” Clarissa flipped over a few demon corpses.
These demons were more humanoid than those in the Hossman Empire, and it wasn’t just one or two, but almost all of them.
Moreover, these demons gave her a different feeling than those other demons.
First, the smell; these demons were full of the scent of sulfur.
Secondly, these demons were predominantly dark red, and although humanoid, they always possessed various parts of other animals.
Such as ram horns, scythe hands, scorpion tails, ox horns, and bat wings.
“What kind of monsters are these?” Clarissa looked at these strange demons, thought for a moment, and directly took out a magic communication stone to contact the Gewo King.
“Savior Apostle! What are your orders?” The Gewo King quickly connected. Through “holographic” projection, Clarissa could see that the Gewo King was in a conference room, with other kings seated around him.
Clearly, they were discussing something.
“I apologize for disturbing you! But I have bad news for you… the Lila Empire has fallen!” Clarissa delivered news that instantly changed the Gewo King’s and the others’ expressions.
“Wh-What?!” The Gewo King and the others couldn’t help but be shocked.
They had just learned about the strength of the Hossman Empire, and the strength of the two empires of equal renown certainly wouldn't be far off.
Yet, in a blink of an eye, good heavens! The Lila Empire had fallen!
Through the “holographic” projection, the Gewo King and the others also saw the tragic scene on Clarissa’s side.
“I’m not just here to tell you this news. Come, look at these demons! Have you ever seen them?” Clarissa said to the Gewo King.
“Let’s see…” The kings all leaned closer and examined them carefully.
Clarissa paused the “camera” on each of these demons for a moment.
“Never seen them!” The kings carefully identified them, thought for a moment, and all shook their heads.
“Although we are kings, our knowledge may not be as extensive as adventurers. I’ll invite some well-traveled adventurers over! Let them take a look!” The Gewo King thought for a moment and said.
“Alright! As soon as possible!” Clarissa nodded.
Soon, a dozen well-known adventurers were brought in.
They had traveled all over the continent, adventuring for decades, and had visited various dangerous places.
They could be considered legendary adventurers.
As soon as they entered, they greeted Clarissa and then meticulously identified the demon corpses.
They had already been informed of the specific situation before entering.
After a moment, these adventurers all shook their heads: “We’ve never seen such demons!”
Clarissa heard these adventurers one by one say they had never seen these demons, that no one had ever seen them.
Then… where did such a vast group of demons come from?
They couldn’t have just appeared out of thin air… Wait… out of thin air… Clarissa suddenly thought of something: “I understand this matter! Thank you for your trouble!”
With that, Clarissa closed the communication.
