Chapter 650: Spider Demon King

Chapter 650: Chapter 650: Spider Demon King

Atiyaga’s brow furrowed slightly as he warned, "Queen Hilea, once we open the city gates, those Demons might charge into the Imperial City along with them. It will threaten your safety!"

Inside Holy Eagle City, countless people had been corrupted by the Void Demonic Qi and turned into Demons. Only the Imperial Palace was spared, thanks to the powerful Magic Defense Barrier it had raised.

There were only ten thousand Imperial Guard Warriors within the Imperial Palace, while there were over hundreds of thousands of Demons in Holy Eagle City. Moreover, the combat power of the Demons corrupted by the Void Demonic Qi had increased exponentially. Once they lost the protection of the city walls, the Imperial City would be completely unable to withstand the locust-like swarm of Demons.

Hilea said softly, "I am the Queen of the Wind Kingdom! I have a duty to protect my subjects! As long as I have the ability to protect them, I will never give up! Atiyaga, carry out the order. That is my command!"

"Yes, Queen Hilea!"

A look of admiration flashed in Atiyaga’s eyes.

Most of the nobles in the Wind Kingdom were a selfish lot. Nobles like Hilea, who truly cared for her people and possessed such a noble character, were few and far between.

Atiyaga commanded, "Open the gates!"

The gates of the Imperial Palace opened at once, and the several hundred Tier Three and above Adventurers quickly flooded inside.

Hidden among the horde of Demons was a five-meter-tall creature. Its upper body was composed of seven human torsos, while its lower body was like that of a wild beast, and it emanated the terrifying aura of the Legendary Level. A vicious light flashed in the Demon’s eyes as it let out a piercing shriek.

At the sound of that shriek, countless Demons charged toward the Imperial Palace like a tidal wave.

The head of a nearby six-armed humanoid Demon suddenly throbbed with pain. Its eyes immediately turned crimson, and it joined the other Demons in their mad charge toward the Imperial City.

"Fiery Flame Divine Sword Technique!"

A cold glint flashed in Hilea’s beautiful eyes. She leaped from the top of the city wall, achieving Unity of Man and Sword as she charged toward the seven-bodied Legendary Demon.

A terrifying Flame Sword Aura materialized, wreathed in fire. Wherever it passed, horrifying Demons were sliced in two, their wounds emitting a foul, burning stench.

The six-armed humanoid Demon was caught in the Flame Sword Aura. Its head was instantly sent flying, and its headless corpse fell to the ground.

In the span of a dozen breaths, Hilea appeared before the seven-bodied Legendary Demon.

A vicious glint flashed in the Legendary Demon’s eyes, and it swiped its claw ferociously at Hilea.

Using an enigmatic Step Technique, Hilea swayed slightly to the side, effortlessly dodging the Legendary Demon’s attack. The greatsword in her hand blazed with terrifying flames as she unleashed dozens of frenzied slashes at the creature.

The Legendary Demon was instantly torn to shreds, its body scattering across the ground in countless pieces. This particular Legendary Demon was a horrifying existence formed from dozens of Demons devouring one another. It had only just been born and had no idea how to fight; even a squad of Tier Five Professional Skill Users could have dealt with it.

’So strong! When did Queen Hilea become a Legendary Professional Skill User?’

A look of shock flashed through Atiyaga’s eyes. He knew Hilea’s Talent was outstanding, but becoming a Legendary Professional Skill User was by no means a simple matter.

After Hilea slew the Legendary Demon, the surrounding Demons fell into chaos.

Lured by the scent of humans, many Demons charged toward the Imperial Palace, while others showed hesitation.

If ordinary people underwent Demonization, they became Demons. It was possible, however, for them to regain their sanity and memories, turning into a more sentient kind of Demon. From that point on, though, their personalities would become more irritable and short-tempered.

Of course, the vast majority of Demons only devoured humans, or even killed and consumed each other, undergoing all sorts of bizarre evolutions.

If not dealt with in time, these bizarre Demons could continuously devour and merge with each other, potentially giving rise to strange new Demons at the level of a Void Demon Duke or even a Demon King.

Many of the great dangers in the wilds of the Void Demon Realm were composed of these bizarre, mutually devouring Demons. Of course, even if these bizarre Demons evolved into powerhouses at the Void Demon King Level, they were still just mindless, bizarre monsters that only knew how to devour and feed, making them easy to eliminate with targeted strategies.

Within the territories of those Void Demon Kings, there were also specialized inspectors patrolling their domains. The moment a powerful Demon appeared, someone would move to annihilate it, preventing those bizarre, uncontrollable Demons from evolving to the Void Demon King Level.

Hilea leaped, flying to the entrance of the Imperial City’s gate. She swung her greatsword, unleashing streams of Flame Sword Aura that continuously hacked the charging Demons to pieces. Not a single Demon could break through her defensive line.

"I’ll help you!"

William also leaped, soaring down from the city wall to land beside Hilea, and began slaying the Demons.

From atop the city walls, countless Arrows, Crossbow Arrows, catapult stones, and Magic spells rained down densely upon the Demons below, finishing them off one by one.

GRIND! GRIND! GRIND!

The great gates of the Imperial City slowly ground shut.

Hilea leaped once more, landing atop the Imperial City’s wall. She looked majestic and awe-inspiring, like a Valkyrie.

Holding her greatsword, Hilea let out a sharp cry, "Victory!"

"Victory!"

"Victory!"

"..."

The morale of the Imperial Guard Warriors on the city wall soared, and they roared out the chant.

"Not bad! I didn’t expect to find another beauty as outstanding as the Elf Queen in this world. It seems my haul this time will be quite good!"

In the void, a black Demon Cloud churned. The Spider Demon King emerged from within it, looking down on everything below. His gaze fell upon Hilea, and a savage smile spread across his face.

A terrifying Demonic Might emanated from the Spider Demon King, spreading out over the city wall.

Under the crushing weight of that terrifying Demonic Might, the Imperial Guard Warriors involuntarily fell to their knees, their eyes filled with Fear.

"A Demon King!!"

"That’s a Demon King!!"

"A Void Demon King!! That’s a Void Demon King!!"

"..."

The morale of the Imperial Guard Warriors, which had just soared because of Hilea’s performance, instantly collapsed. Their eyes filled with Despair.

’A Demon King! So this is a Void Demon King from the myths and legends, a being that can destroy worlds. It’s truly terrifying.’

Atiyaga looked up at the Spider Demon King, his body trembling and his eyes filled with Fear. He had to use almost all of his Magic Power just to remain standing. As for attacking the Spider Demon King, he couldn’t even fathom it.

Atiyaga was a Tier Five Professional Skill User, only one step away from becoming a Legendary Professional Skill User. If even he was in such a pathetic state, one could only imagine how the ordinary Warriors were faring.
