In Vurdulic City where Heserdolf stayed, he seed to be waiting for sothing as he looked at the sky, and his gaze appeared confused.
’Why are they not reporting at this mont? Isn’t it supposed to be the ti they arrived?’ he thought.
The thing he was waiting for was the reinforcents from the other worlds. He needed them to strengthen the defence and also to strike back at the enemy alliance force.
Today was the day they were supposed to arrive, but even now there was no sign or report saying they were already near.
BOOM!
Suddenly, an explosion erupted in the city, and its shockwave spread across a large part of it, damaging many buildings. Heserdolf did not waste ti as his body appeared outside, and he saw what had happened.
A strike from a beam cannon that ca from space had hit the city, destroying part of it and killing many devils. His senses picked up sothing descending from the sky quickly before he finally saw an interstellar vessel erging from the clouds.
"Raise the barrier!" Heserdolf shouted his order as sweat dropped from his forehead. He did not expect that the cultivators from the central star cluster would invade this place directly from space. He did not know why they attacked this place so suddenly, so it was good to assu that they were here because they knew his location.
’How did they find this quickly?’ he thought in frustration. ’To think that they would just barge in here. Do they think they do not need to pay attention to the other troops from the nearby cities and strongholds and simply let themselves be besieged?’
The vessel floated below the clouds as it quickly disembarked many troops, and all of them flew directly toward the city. At the forefront, the Phoenix Queen was the fastest, followed by her troops, while the Dragon King and his forces ca behind.
Most of these beasts had already transford into their beast forms, and their number in the tens of thousands made the devils below feel chills.
The thousands of giant bodies coming in their direction were terrifying. Moreover, most of them were dragons and phoenixes. They were powerful beings already known across the continent, and with thousands of them gathered here, this would be an extrely tough battle.
The barrier was still in the process of closing, and from its speed it would finish only after so of the beasts entered the city. Heserdolf, who was watching it, felt nervous and restless, and there was no mont like this when he wanted the barrier to close instantly.
He saw the Dragon King and the Phoenix Queen among the attackers, and his chest turned cold. He could only think about escaping again.
However, he had already run out of escape talismans, and the only thing he could use was the warp gate in the city. The problem was that the warp gate was near the blast from earlier. He did not know whether it was still intact or not, and if it was destroyed, then he would have no ans of escape.
He would have to fight his way out of here in the worst case.
He kept watching the invasion force and kept hoping for the barrier to close faster. However, while the barrier was still in the middle of closing, it suddenly stopped. It was as if sothing was blocking the process, as if they were trying to push it but could not.
This shocked Heserdolf, and he looked toward the direction where he sensed the disturbance. He saw the Dragon King stretch out his hand, and he finally understood the cause.
’He is blocking the barrier’s completion using space laws.’
The space beca harder, almost as if it had turned solid. Heserdolf was shocked that the Dragon King could control such a wide area of space with that level of precision. He gritted his teeth.
’As expected of one of the strongest beings under the heaven.’ He knew that the battle was imminent at this point, and this battle would decide his life or death.
The barrier created a large gap at the top of the do, and the beasts rushed toward it before finally entering.
"Hahahaha, attack, attack! Don’t let any of those bastards live!" one of the dragons shouted in excitent.
The other beasts also quickly entered the city, and without hesitation they used their respective attack techniques. The dragons in their dragon forms unleashed their dragon breath that could even burn the space itself. The phoenixes were the sa, and with their fiery bodies, anything in their path burned to a crisp.
The city instantly fell into chaos in many areas as the devils tried to resist. They attacked the beasts with their elental techniques, but the beasts were far stronger than them and did not even bother to evade, continuing their assault without pause.
The city was quickly engulfed in flas, and above the burning city, the Phoenix Queen in her human form was almost reaching the mansion where Heserdolf stayed. Heserdolf had already hidden in the underground shelter the mont he saw the beasts pouring into the city, and the Phoenix Queen seed to be flying towards his direction as if searching for soone or sothing.
He assud she was looking for him, which made him decide to hide in the underground shelter near the mansion so she would not detect him. He knew he was done for if she ever found him.
As the Phoenix Queen approached the mansion, she saw a peak pseudo-immortal devil flying toward her and attacking with a sword slash. The slash cut through space and even created a rift in its path, moving at a speed that even pseudo-immortals would struggle to follow.
However, the Phoenix Queen evaded the attack with ease as she shifted to the side and continued forward. The one attacking her was Argus, and at this mont his face looked solemn. He could not underestimate the Phoenix Queen, as she was a well-known figure and one of the most powerful beings under the heaven.
Her fla had enough heat to burn space itself and even ignite the heaven and earth energy in nature. In her phoenix form, she would be immune to all elental attacks unless her enemy could overwhelm her fla.
Argus then swung his sword, which was a middle divine-grade artifact, repeatedly toward the Phoenix Queen. However, with her speed and agility, she could easily evade every strike. He tried to keep his distance while continuously attacking, but she moved so swiftly it was as if she could see the future.
He attempted to use illusion laws on her to distract her, but his illusion was instantly destroyed by her fla, and the backlash hit him. He felt pain in his mind as his illusion was burned away. Even so, he continued his attacks.
She evaded all of them until she finally appeared right in front of Argus, her speed far surpassing his. He then saw the Phoenix Queen stretch her hand toward him as if she intended to choke him. He narrowly dodged, but her body suddenly exploded with flas that spread outward.
Argus, still close to her, instantly raised his barrier technique, but it shattered the mont the flas touched it. He raised both arms to shield himself from the fire, but the mont the flas brushed his hands and body, he felt his flesh burn. He also felt as if his lungs were lting, his heart was about to burst, and even his soul was heating up.
"Agh!" he shouted in pain as the flas left severe burns on any part of him they touched, and even his flesh began to cook.
Argus gritted his teeth as he withstood the pain in his hands and body. He finally decided to use his devil form. Even after transforming, he still felt the burning pain, but he ignored it and took the initiative to counterattack.
The Phoenix Queen, who saw him use his devil form, did not change her expression. Instead, she used another technique. She stretched her hands to both sides, flas appeared in her palms, and then the flas burst and shaped themselves into two whips.
The heat forced Argus to slow his advance, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. The Phoenix Queen, with a whip in each hand, attacked him. The movent of the whips was so fast that the space trembled, and the heat alone made Argus feel chills. He tried to evade the attacks, but the movent of the whips was unpredictable.
He blocked the whips with his sword repeatedly, and he noticed burn marks slowly appearing on the blade, which shocked him.
The whip could damage a divine-grade artifact!
He gritted his teeth as he flew at high speed, constantly evading and blocking the whips. He did not even have the smallest chance to counterattack.
As he was looking for a way to attack the Phoenix Queen, he suddenly heard the loud rumbling sound of a beam cannon attack. He glanced toward the source of the sound and couldn’t help but feel a slight joy, because the beam cannon ca from the interstellar vessel that had arrived from the nearby stronghold.
From four directions, many cruisers and two interstellar vessels appeared from the distance.
The beam cannon hit the alliance troops’ vessel—or so he thought—until he finally saw that the Dragon King was actually blocking the beam cannon with his spatial manipulation.
Another beam cannon attack ca from another vessel and shot directly toward the Dragon King, but he blocked it again using his spatial barrier. The space trembled heavily, and it looked as though it would almost tear open into a spatial rift.
But the barrier still held until the beam cannon finished its attack.
The Dragon King smiled as he looked at the many enemies approaching from all four directions. There were also two peak pseudo-immortal stage devils among them.
"It’s my turn," he said before his body slowly began transforming.
