Forced to Sell Myself to the Female Lead After Killing the Male Lead Chapter 48 - 48

Chapter 48:

"Quickly, fire them! Don't hold back! We absolutely can't let those Abyssal demons get close! Blast them away!!"

Atop the walls of Galros Fortress,

Facing the encroaching pressure of death, Krid had beco sowhat hysterical, continuously roaring.

Hearing his words, the conflicted mages exchanged glances but eventually chose to obey the command.

They increased their output of military magic, and a continuous barrage of fireballs rained down on the black ocean like monsters under the fortress!

Witnessing this scene,

The vice leader felt extrely uneasy.

Gritting her teeth, she couldn't help but run to Krid's side.

"Lord Krid! Shouldn't we cover for the asumos knights and get them into the city first?! No matter what, they have signed a temporary treaty with our Snowy Night Empire! Isn't it completely inappropriate to fire our allies like this? This will likely lead to diplomatic repercussions in the future..."

"Who cares if it's appropriate?!"

Hearing the vice leader 's words, Krid frowned, grabbed her by the collar, and pulled her in front of him.

"The Abyssal demons are already attacking! Finding a way to stop them is our top priority! As for those church knights, who cares what happens to them? They're just a bunch of swindlers who use the Goddess's na to deceive and exploit others! Let them die! It doesn't matter if they were killed by our mans We'll just say they were killed by the Abyssal demons later! No one will bla us!"

"But, but..."

"But what?! Just follow my orders! Besides, with so many Abyssal demons chasing them, who knows if those people haven't been infected? Maybe they're already infected and beyond saving! Just treat them like Abyssal demons! So, stop your endless chattering! If you keep talking, I'll throw you down to feed the Abyssal demons!"

Krid's eyes were already filled with terrifying murderous intent,

Frightening the vice leader into silence.

Seeing the vice leader with nothing to say, Krid once again focused his attention on the mage troops standing on the platform nearby and tirelessly urged,

"Hurry up! You useless lot! Increase your power!! We absolutely cannot... Huh?!!"

However,

Before Krid could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly narrowed as a black beam of light abruptly entered his line of sight!

?!

Huh?!

What is that?!

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by a deafening explosion, a cloud of dust, and the rapid spread and eruption of black Shadow power! The entire platform, including the eight Magi standing above, was instantly enveloped in black energy!

Under the horrified gazes of Krid and the soldiers, the enormous red magic circle and the entire platform suddenly collapsed! The eight powerful mages were instantly engulfed by the black energy, and amidst the sounds of unbearable agony, they were corroded into puddles of blood!

The shockwave from the explosion rapidly spread, instantly shattering several nearby soldiers into pieces.

Although Krid raised his hand in defense just in ti, he was still sent flying dozens of ters by the terrifying force!

"What... what on earth is going on??"

As Krid got up and looked towards the platform, it was already a hellish scene of black, viscous, corrosive liquid eating away at everything. A soldier, whose body had been half-corroded and whose lower half had turned into chilling white bones, was hysterically crawling towards Krid.

His mouth was filled with indistinct and miserable wails.

Witnessing this scene, Krid's spine chilled, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

However,

When he looked around, the fortress commander's eyes suddenly contracted, and his entire face twisted in horror and absurdity.

Not only the platform in front of him,

All six platforms that were casting military magic had been struck by black beams! They were uniformly corroded to nothing, along with half of their high-ranking mages in Galros Fortress...

"How... how... how could this happen??"

In an instant, Krid was at a complete loss, standing there dumbfounded, his brain almost crashing as he stared at the surrounding devastation.

"Those... those Abyssal demons... they actually... actually attacked my mage troops??"

Aren't Abyssal demons supposed to be mindless creatures?

Why would they... why would they focus their attacks on the mages?

Krid was utterly baffled at this mont, and while the commander stood there dumbstruck,

Not far away,

A silver silhouette suddenly entered Krid's field of vision!

Seeing the silver-haired girl who had jumped onto the city walls from outside the fortress, and the several asumos Order knights behind her, Krid's face imdiately changed, and he shakily pointed his finger at them.

"You... you!! How could you??"

Krid despised the asumos knight,

He really did! That's why he had ordered the bombardnt.

But he was also well aware of the terror of the Asumos church.

If these people survived and reported his actions today back to the church, his future would undoubtedly be ruined!

'Damn it,'

'How did these people... not die?!'

'No, this won't do, they can't be allowed into the fortress like this!'

Having beco sowhat hysterical and even losing his rationality due to the shock, Krid stared fiercely and suspiciously at the mbers of the Asumos church knights.

"No! You can't co in!! You must have been infected by the Abyssal demons! If you co in, you'll kill us all!!"

Upon hearing Krid's words that seed to be bordering on insanity,

ng Xi's light purple eyes narrowed slightly, her icy gaze sweeping over this clown who had torn up their agreent.

Although she really wanted to cut down this foolish man who had nearly caused her death, considering that they were still in Galros Fortress and on Krid's territory, ng Xi forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

Trying her best to speak in a calm and peaceful tone, she said:

"Mr. Krid, please rest assured, we have not been infected. Our vital energy..."

However,

Before ng Xi could finish, Krid rudely interrupted her words.

"Who knows if you're lying or not! If you're truly not infected and not hurt by the Abyssal demons, then strip off your clothes and armor to prove it! If you can't prove it, then get the hell out of here!"

I refuse to believe that after being chased by the Abyssal demons for so long, you don't have a single injury!

Even if it's a wound from a fireball explosion! As long as there's a wound! I'll insist that it was the work of the Abyssal demons! Then I can 'rightfully' throw you all out! It would be easy for to silence my soldiers! As long as you're dead, no one will know about this!

With these thoughts, Krid couldn't help but reveal a creepy smile.

Seeing this smile, ng Xi bit her lip.

At this mont, she had already guessed Krid's intentions.

"Krid, you... "

On the other hand,

After hearing Krid's words and guessing his intentions, not only ng Xi but also the pink-haired girl in her arms shared the sa thoughts. An extrely dissatisfied emotion erged in the girl's mind.

'It seed,'

'They had been at ease for far too long,'

'To think that soone like this could beco a fortress commander...'

As Krid continued to say words that were nothing but oppressive, an undetectable crimson light shone in the beautiful blue eyes of the pink-haired girl. Far away, a little eight-eyed creature in the Abyssal demon horde suddenly lifted its head...

Of course,

Krid would never notice these details. At this mont, he had already drawn the sword at his waist, preparing to forcefully drive ng Xi and the others out of the fortress.

"Sorry everyone, since you can't prove your innocence, then I can only... huh???"

However,

Before Krid could finish his words,

A surge of black light suddenly erupted in the distant Abyssal demon horde!

An ice-cold, murderous black beam whistled towards them from afar! Caught off guard, it accurately hit Krid's head without any deviation!

"Huh???"

After a brief exclamation,

Under the panic-stricken gazes of the Galros Fortress soldiers, Krid's words ca to an abrupt halt.

His head and upper body were instantly engulfed by the black energy, turning into a nauseating viscous black liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Yumo: Hmph~~
