“We're almost there! A little more, brothers!” The general suddenly said as he realized that his men were about to give up. They had fought relentlessly before to save the young master of the Rebel Army who consumed too much of their true essence. Some of them even had serious injuries, making their escape slower.
“General, don't worry about us. We'll buy time for your escape.” One of his men stopped his steps. His words made some others stop.
Seeing them, the general was touched but he was also angry. He pointed his remaining arm at the man and shouted. “I don't want to see more of you die in front of me, but if we have to die, then we have to die together! Do you think I'm afraid of dying, asshole?!”
“J-General ..”
“Quite bullshit. They are here!” The general's eyes turned grim as he muttered those words. His subordinates followed his line of sight and saw dozens of demons staring at them with threatening gazes.
“What a touching sight! You humans are really a bunch of weirdos. Hahaha!” The ox demon that led the demon soldiers laughed crazily as he glanced at the pitiful humans with disdain. The other demons laughed along with their leader as they stared at the general and his men mockingly.
The mocking laughter of the demons made the weak humans tremble in fear. Even the fearless general felt that there was no more hope for them.
The general gritted his teeth and drew his sword using his remaining hand as he shouted in a hoarse voice. “My brother, I hope we will meet again in the next life!”
The general raised his sword and pointed it towards the demon ox. “Mati!”
With a quick leap, the general pounced towards the ox demon and swung his sword with all his might. A large amount of true essence enveloped his sword. Even a Saint rank 9 stage pinnacle would receive a fatal wound if directly exposed to this.
The ox demon's eyes narrowed into a crack and he immediately raised his axe to defend against the swift slash.
Clangs!
‘Dirt! He blocked! This guy is bad news!’ The general withdrew after his failed attack.
The bull demon looked at his axe and saw the small nicks in which the general's sword hit him. He then glared at the general and ordered his men. “Kill them all!”
“Kill!”
“Death, human!”
“My brother, gather behind me!” The general ordered with a grim look.
“Ya sir!” His subordinate immediately stood behind him. With their current condition, all they could do was to passively defend. Not to mention they are outnumbered.
scream!
Everyone looked up and saw the huge Purple-Hairy Fire Eagle. A man with purple hair was seen standing on top of the eagle. His eyes were sharp as swords unsheathed as he stared at them.
“Newborn God Realm Experts?! Newborn God Realm Man?!” The ox demon shouted in shock as he sensed the other party's strength. He felt that things might not go according to his plan when he saw this person.
The demons and humans were shocked when they heard the ox demon's words.
“We survived! Someone came to help us!” The general's subordinate was emotional. Some of them even shed tears.
The general furrowed his brows as he stared at the person. This was not the man he had seen that day, so who was he? And what was his intention to disrupt their battle? The general was confused but he still felt grateful to this man for his arrival saving him and his men.
“Who are you, Sir! Identify yourself! This place is under the jurisdiction of Demon Lord Burlock! We are the subordinates of Demon Lord Zorzoch who are tasked with capturing these criminals! Stay away from this!” The bull demon called two Demon Kings to test the man.
“Oh, you mean Burlock? I just met him a while ago. As for this Zorzoch guy you mentioned, who is he?” Aren ordered the Purple Hairy Fire Eagle to come down while glancing at the ox demon with a disdainful look. Did he really think that a mere Demon King would scare him now that he had ascended to the Nascent God Realm? Moreover, his master was even able to subdue a Demon King like Burlock, so what was there to fear?
Hearing Aren's mocking tone as he mentioned their leader, the ox demon felt his anger rising. “The Demon King Zorzoch is one of the five Demon Kings of Morlon City. He was under the command of Demon Ancestor Jun. Are you sure you want to fight us?!”
“Devil Ancestor Jun? Ahaha! He can't even do anything to my master. Listen carefully, demon. Get me out of my sight! These people are under my protection!” Aren jumped down from the Purple-Hairy Fire Eagle in a confident manner. He ignored the demon who was looking at him threateningly and turned his gaze to the general and his men.
“Do not worry. Someone told me to protect you. With me here, no one can hurt you.” His reassuring words made them breathe a sigh of relief.
“Thank you Sir.” The general said thankfully as he looked at Aren.
“You don't have to thank me. I just followed his orders.” Aren replied indifferently.
“Governance?” The general mind of a person and he feels that it may be him. To think that the person he met at that time could actually order a Nascent Divine Realm expert to save them! Who her?
“Save the chat later. Let me take care of these people first.” Aren smiled coldly while glancing at the demon. This is his first mission. He wanted to finish it perfectly!
The general nodded his head and told his men to retreat.. They would only detain this person if they stayed, so he could only order them to leave.
