Debris swirled through the air. Bloody beams of light pierced the sky. Residual explosions continued without end. In an instant, the stone forest had been transformed into a completely different place.
Tens of thousands of abyssal creatures, at practically the same moment the magical matrix was activated, were stopped in their tracks. Under the protection of the canopy of necromancy, those bloody rays remained as violent and berserk as before. As they shattered bodies, they also reduced the bones of their victims to shrapnel, piercing anyone in their path.
It was hell on earth, with corpses and skeletal remains piling up in the stone forest. The smell of blood reeked. Resilient souls, filled with irreconcilable hatred, did not dissipate, but lingered within the stone forest. A strange transformation was happening to these souls...
The souls of the dead under the effects of the formation did not immediately disperse between heaven and earth after losing their vitality. Instead, they turned into bloody-red shadows that drifted about. Filled with boundless resentment, they would rip those who had not yet died to shreds, making the already terrifying scene even more horrifying...
In a short time, the originally static and inert stone forest was transformed into a machine of massacre, a perfect trifecta of demonic arts, necromancy, and edict of destruction. They all turned into bloody-red shadows that screamed as they roamed the stone forest, ready to reap the lives of those who entered it.
The originally noisy crowd around Han Shuo fell silent for a moment, lips sealed. The crowd atop the wide walls of the War Demon Valley grew unusually quiet as the war raged on!
Crosius, Brakyah, Brayshaw, the six Rakshas, five visiting advisors, Jasper and everyone else wore stunned expressions as they gazed foolishly at the hellhole before them. They watched as tens of thousands of living beings were destroyed in those few moments. Fear, shock and disbelief sent shivers down their spines... unusual for such people.
"Damn it... I didn't expect it to be so powerful. Hehehe, you can't say that I wasted any of these materials, can you?" Han Shuo's jaw also dropped as he was slightly shocked by the terrifying scene caused by the matrix he had designed. The terrifying devastation caused by the combination of Necromancy Magic, Edicts of Destruction, and Demonic Art Formations - three martial arts that were not all from the same universe, but were just as vicious and cruel. Han Shuo could barely breathe for a moment.
Tens of thousands of those so-called elite experts from Venomfang Castle had been consumed by Han Shuo's stone forest in an instant, with not a single survivor! Such a formidable force was simply terrifying!
"Mis... Mister Han Shuo, this, this is the ruin caused by the magical matrix?" Crosius choked in his speech. His deep eyes were empty and at a loss, seemingly still unable to process the scene before him.
"Um, it should be. So, Lord Crosius, are the results to your satisfaction?" Han Shuo asked calmly before curving his lips into a teasing smile and a wink.
Crosius was speechless.
"You have earned my respect," Brayshaw stared at Han Shuo with glowing, sparkling eyes, sending more shivers down Han Shuo's spine. Meanwhile, Brakyah body, which had been as flexible as a snake, became as stiff as a corpse that had been embalmed for a thousand years. His body was stuck in a bizarre posture of advancing towards the battlefield. He wore a terrified expression of disbelief as he stared blankly at those wildly dancing bloody shadows in the stone forest.
After a long time, Brakyah revealed an ugly smile and murmured to himself, "It seems that I will indeed be calling him Daddy. This man, is he even mortal?"
The entire War Demon Valley suddenly fell silent. Every single one of them had a stunned expression on their faces. Their gazes at Han Shuo were filled with awe and respect. A character who could destroy tens of thousands of lives in a moment was much, much more terrifying compared to those devilish shadow warriors!
"Retreat, retreat! Damn it, don't enter the stone forest! What the hell is going on?" said Yeki as he flew over on a warhawk. At that moment, his stubborn heart became heavy as if it had been filled with lead. It was obvious from his trembling voice of fear and helplessness that he felt an uncontrollable fear. There even seemed to be a hint of sobbing in it.
"Yeki, what is going on? Didn't you tell me that War Demon Valley only had that tiny bit of power? And that we could easily defeat it?" As the leader of the Shadow Warriors, he had seen and experienced all kinds of situations in his career for so many years. The scene where tens of thousands of experts were massacred in a single moment was the first time he had seen something like that - he too lost his head!
Even for this bloody-Soaked butcher who treated life with insignificance, when he saw the horrific scene of devastation below him, he felt a scalp-numbing, nervous sensation.
A human silhouette rose into the sky. The body was badly mutilated. Large chunks of flesh hung loosely from the skeleton, as if ready to fall off at any moment...
Squinting to get a better look at the person who had suddenly rushed out of the stone forest, those inhuman slabs of flesh, that nightmarish, blood-soaked body, Zajya was horrified. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Ironstone, is that you?"
"Lord General, yes... it's me... What a terrible attack! All dead... all of them! Only I managed to escape. My God, what happened back there?! Yeki, you cursed fellow, who in the world have you pissed off?" The Ironstone Warrior, whose appearance wasn't visible, said incoherently as he shook.
"Who have you offended?" The Scarlet fiend Warrior was so enraged that her charming body trembled, and with it, her towering breasts, inspiring wild and fanciful thoughts in any onlooker...
"I... I have no idea myself. What shall we do? What should we do now?" After being questioned by the three Shadow Warriors, the Master of Venomfang Castle was at his wit's end. The scene below was simply too terrifying and brutal. Yeki was horrified by the bloody turn of events.
"There is nothing we can do about the past. No one will ever enter the Stone Forest again. Fortunately, nothing happened to the few of us. This time, the hatred must be avenged in blood. Otherwise, we Shadow Warriors will have failed our king," Zajya shouted coldly like a madman. Then he turned to the thousands of Yeki's trump card warriors mounted on flying creatures and said in a murderous voice, "We will take down War Demon Valley, or we will all die in the valley. You should all be aware of the king's methods. There is no third option!"
Everyone in Venomfang Castle felt their hair stand on end when Zajya mentioned the Great Demon King Golander. Their gazes suddenly turned resolute and steady, determined not to provoke Golander's wrath, even if it meant fighting to their gruesome deaths right here and now.
"Well then, let's do some killing. Either all those men in War Demon Valley die, or we do!" Yeki licked the corners of his lips, revealing a merciless and malevolent expression. Before Zajya could say another word, he waved his hand and shouted, "For the brothers we have lost, today we will kill every living soul in War Demon Valley! Attack!"
At his command, the thousands of remaining elites of Venomfang Castle stopped looking at the bloody scene of the stone forest below and charged forward into War Demon Valley in defiance of death.
"Everyone be careful. Those who remain are the most powerful experts of Venomfang Castle, including three demons. Do not let them enter the valley. We must resist!" After being shocked and awed by Han Shuo, Crosius began to gain some optimism. As he saw Venomfang Castle launch the final wave of attack, he hastily shouted.
"Mister Han Shuo, please do us one more favour by stopping one of the demons!" Crosius lowered his voice for Han Shuo in an unprecedented show of respect. The tone of his speech was one of awe.
In an instant, all the eyes of the experts in the War Demon Valley fell on Han Shuo. At that moment, Han Shuo seemed to have replaced Crosius' position and become the new spiritual leader of War Demon Valley!
How could they act otherwise? After all, the feat that Han Shuo had just performed was simply too overwhelming and terrifying. A being capable of killing tens of thousands of enemies in an instant? Even Crosius, the Valley Master, paled in comparison!
"Han Shuo, you, you are truly unimaginably great!" Jasper jumped for joy. It was only now that she came to her senses from the shock Han Shuo had given her. Her adorable face was radiating a bizarre glow that would make a man's heart race. She made no attempt to hide her feelings for Han Shuo, which were so clear in her precious eyes.
Unlike the astonished expressions on everyone else's faces, Han Shuo's still held that punchy expression. In response to the humble Crosius, Han Shuo mischievously said, "Since I'm being paid, it's my duty to lend a hand. Don't worry, I know what to do."
"Thank you, Mister Han Shuo. As long as War Demon Valley can escape the disaster today, you may take whatever you wish from the valley." Crosius turned his excited eyes to Jasper and continued, "Even the most precious thing to me, I'm willing to let Mister Han Shuo take it away!"
Han Shuo couldn't help but laugh. He thought to himself that the Abyss Realm was indeed very much to his liking. He had only shown an ounce of his strength, and Crosius was beginning to fawn over him, no matter the cost. He was certainly a character worth keeping around!
"You just need to concentrate on killing Yeki. I will help you deal with the three Shadow Warriors. Just make sure that you keep your promise," Han Shuo said with a slight chuckle after casting a glance at the blushing Jasper.
"Three... Three Shadow Warriors? Han, Mister Han Shuo, you will handle three Shadow Warriors on your own?" Crosius couldn't contain himself and cried out in alarm.
Han Shuo nodded and replied with the utmost confidence, "That's right, I'll take them all!"
