135: The final battle begins, the horrific hell! (2)

Hiss!!

Shadow Moon Yao took a deep breath, barely daring to believe everything before her eyes.

“The Seven-Stringed Sword Saint was ambushed by the enemy from the start, severely wounded by Hell Black Flame, and lost his combat ability.”

“And we exhausted all our efforts, preparing such thorough defensive fortifications, but now… now we haven’t even lasted a minute…”

Her confidence instantly collapsed.

Before the war, Shadow Moon Yao even thought that even without awakening, she could still contend with the Hell Army.

But now.

She finally realized how naive she had been.

The terrifying strength of Hell had never been fully revealed to the world.

Just an endless army, plus a few demon kings, had already effortlessly swept through more than half of the kingdom.

One must know.

This war, which affected the entire eternal, meant the Hell Army was not facing just one Moon Shadow Kingdom, but the West Continent, all countries, and all races!

Now.

To capture the capital Hermes, Hell began to rapidly mobilize its forces, showing a truly serious intent.

They, however, did not take it seriously, only thinking that the offensive would merely be more intense.

Too naive!

This was the root of their failure.

The Seven-Stringed Sword Saint had always charged through the demon army, never having been injured, only retreating when faced with an endless horde of demons.

So he thought this time would be the same; even if a new demon appeared, he would charge forward alone to slay it.

But the result.

Naturally, he almost lost his life and completely lost his combat ability.

This time.

The Hell Army was probably serious, or perhaps only slightly serious.

But on the kingdom’s side.

They had already completely lost their way to resist.

It was true that a Saint-rank could change a war.

But there was a prerequisite.

That was, if the other side had no Saint-rank.

Now.

It was unknown how many Saint-rank Great Demon Kings were hidden within the Hell Army.

How could they fight?

How could they defend?

What to do!

All of Shadow Moon Yao’s hope now probably rested on her awakening.

“As long as I can successfully awaken, I will be able to exert Saint-rank combat power, and the strongest Saint-rank at that, then with the Star Moon Formation, I will definitely be able to hold on… I definitely can!!!”

Seeing this, Lin Ye pulled the queen into his arms, lightly chuckling as he pinched her high nose bridge.

“Last time you even boasted to me, saying you’d be invincible once you awakened and sweep through the Hell Army, so why are you panicking now?”

Thump!

Shadow Moon Yao’s delicate body trembled, and an incredulous look appeared in her phoenix eyes.

“Last time, when did this King…”

Speaking of which.

Shadow Moon Yao had a myriad of questions she wanted to ask about the weapon she personally enchanted, and just as she was about to speak, her lips were directly sealed by Lin Ye.

After a long while.

Lin Ye finally let her go.

“Don’t ask too much, just leave everything to me.”

Mm…

Shadow Moon Yao’s eyes softened, and for some reason, she actually nodded in agreement.

A strange sense of security.

It gradually calmed her flustered heart.

The man before her.

He was truly detestable, truly made her grit her teeth in hatred, but he was also truly the only existence that could make her feel at ease.

Powerful!

So powerful that she was powerless to resist.

At this moment.

Before the crisis of life and death.

Love or hate.

Regardless of liking or disliking, it didn’t matter.

What mattered was whether you had the strength, whether you could solve all of this.

Lin Ye also needed to buy time, after hesitating for a moment.

He instantly spent three hundred thousand time-space crystal, and the time-space core was upgraded again.

“Over…”

Lin Ye had already used Overload twice in a row, but this time… he held back.

The next stage.

The three million upgrade cost was simply unaffordable.

War was imminent.

Lin Ye had to keep some trump cards.

“The quest objective is to save the queen, most likely lasting until the end of the war, right?”

Lin Ye wasn’t worried about the passage of time outside, after all, this place existed outside of time, so no matter how long he stayed, returning would probably take less than a second, right?

The real problem was.

If the war continued, then… his mythical equipment couldn’t be repaired, and his combat power would gradually decrease instead of increasing.

“Must end this quickly!”

Lin Ye only had this one strategy: he must quickly repel the Hell Army…

Or perhaps.

Find a way to repel the Hell Army.

He opened his panel.

Under the infusion of awakened Moon Shadow, his skill proficiency soared rapidly.

An hour passed.

24!

Two hours passed.

27!

Three hours passed.

29!

The moon ascended to the sky, half the night gone.

“All maxed!”

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

Full status!

Full version combat power!

Now, under the skill level bonus of the Star Destroyer Bow, everything was maxed out!

Of course.

Not counting the reduction from Time-Space Curse.

At the same time.

The queen also fully awakened successfully, becoming a perfect Moon Shadow Goddess, radiating the most beautiful light, thanks to the accumulation of a night’s time.

It was just that.

Her eyes, at this moment, were filled with sorrow.

“A night’s time…”

“All forward defense lines of the capital have been broken, and the siege on the city walls lasted all night.”

“Soul-less Sword Saint… fallen!”

“Seven-Stringed Sword Saint… fallen!”

“Law Sage of Fiery Rebirth… perished in a mutual destruction with a Great Demon King’s self-detonation!”

“Law Sage of Frost perished from magic exhaustion after casting forbidden spells multiple times!”

“Blue Moon Legion Commander Taron, alone, held off the Hell Army for a full six hours, until he was burned alive by Hell Black Flame, his body and shield still standing…”

“Too many people… died for me…”

“And I couldn’t help them, not at all…”

Brilliant, crystal-clear azure pearls fell from Shadow Moon Yao’s beautiful eyes, one by one, forming a line, like the most beautiful necklace in the world.

Such was war.

If a Saint wanted to flee, they could certainly flee.

But when they chose not to, they would slowly be ground down by the endless Hell Army.

However.

This time, the queen was indeed qualified, doing very well, with everyone united.

But the crisis she faced was indeed beyond her ability to resolve.

Lin Ye lowered his head, picking up the fallen pearls one by one.

“War is like this; as long as you don’t die, everyone still has hope, including me!”

Shadow Moon Yao was slightly stunned, completely not expecting him to say such words: “You…”

Shhh!

Lin Ye summoned the Star Destroyer Bow with one hand, a confident smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“This time, let me show you your man’s true strength!”
