The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 224 The Kingdom of Orcus
Elian watched as the wolf-serpent demon rapidly disintegrated and shattered before him, knowing that the essence of this abyss demon had returned to the 113th layer of the abyss at the moment of its death, and would reshape its form there.

Demons that die in the material plane usually do not leave behind a corpse, but disappear in various different ways.

Moreover, the way a demon's body disappears can vary with each death. Sometimes it turns to ashes, and sometimes it falls into the invisible void.

These bizarre ways in which bodies disappear after death, in a sense, are also a manifestation of the chaotic nature of the bottomless abyss.

For example, right now, the wolf-serpent demon's corpse rapidly decomposed and shattered into dozens of miniature wolf-serpent demons. These miniature demons fought each other, and each demon that was killed instantly disappeared. Until only one miniature wolf-serpent demon remained, it vanished in a puff of black smoke with a bang.

The giant axe with a ruby ​​inlaid at the bottom, an abyssal weapon that extended the existence of the wolf-serpent demon, turned into pus and disappeared with the death of its master.

In the battle just now, Elion deliberately delayed, waiting for more powerful demons and undead to come and provide support.

Then, use the [Sacred Blazing Sun] skill once a day from the [Sun Armor] to sweep across the entire area and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Then, they turned back and delivered the final blow to the wolf-serpent demon, ensuring that the commander of this demon army must die!

Tapping.

Plop, plop.

The sounds of the demon army galloping and flapping its wings came from all directions.

The nearby demons, including powerful demons from other demon legions, noticed the massive explosion and were rushing to the scene.

At least a dozen legendary demons are attacking from different directions. Among them are also great demons of medium legend.

Without the slightest hesitation, Elion whispered a spell and teleported away in a flash of light.

……

That night, Okus's Abyss Legion lost half of its high-ranking combat force and its commander.

As inherently chaotic beings, an army without a leader is naturally incapable of unity. The remaining powerful demons immediately began vying for command, resulting in wave after wave of infighting.

Meanwhile, the other demon legions near Silvermoon City also noticed the weakness and disarray of this strongest legion...

These demon legions absorbed a large number of low- and mid-level demons who fled the Orcus Legion in order to expand their own armies. During this process, there were many battles and clashes between them.

As a result, the pressure on Silvermoon City, which was originally besieged by multiple demon legions, was greatly reduced.

"Great! Great! Our capital is saved!"

On the city wall, the elf Doron, who was repairing the Great Lock of Silvermoon City, looked at the demons fighting and clashing in the distant wilderness and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He also vaguely heard that it was Elion, the monarch of the Eastern human kingdom of Eldoron, who came to provide support and severely damaged Okus's Abyss Legion, thus turning the tide of the battle.

As the sun slowly rose above the horizon once more, and dawn dispelled the darkness, Doron, who felt relaxed for the first time in months, suddenly felt a jolt of electricity run through his spine in a fleeting moment, realizing a crucial truth:
In the far east, a small country with a population less than one-tenth that of the elven kingdom, once again changed his life.

……

Bottomless Abyss, 113th floor.

This level is known as the "Land of Death," the "Stomach of Death," or Sanatos.

Grayish-white clouds filled the sky, the cold, dark firmament devoid of sunlight, and tens of thousands of ghouls wandered across the pale frozen earth. A negative energy, eroding life, permeated the air.

The undead king, with a large belly, a goat's head, numerous festering sores, and a stench of death, sat enthroned on a skeletal throne.

— [The Immortal Lord], Orcus.

Even the weakest evil gods in the bottomless abyss are quite wary of his existence.

Although many demons believe that Demogorgon, the Demon Prince, is the most powerful among the three Abyss Lords, according to many truly wise demon legends, Okus is the most terrifying of all demon lords. His true potential and hidden power surpass even that of the brainless two-headed baboon, Demogorgon.

"Great Undead King, I have been attacked in the Material Plane. The attacker is..."

The "Sleepless One," who had just been reborn in the abyss and looked much weaker, was about to report his experiences to his lord when Okus waved his hand:

"No need to say anything more."

"I have already seen it with your eyes."

The wolf-snake demon exclaimed in delight:

"Great Undead King, were you watching the whole thing?"

Few people know that the Wolf-Serpent Demon, as an extension of the Demon Lord's will, has a special connection with the Demon Lord. If the Demon Lord wishes, he can use the Wolf-Serpent Demon's snake head to speak and see.

This means that Orcus himself witnessed Balor Ratul's offense against him and remembered the lesser lord's foolishness!
The wolf-serpent demon "Sleepless" then frowned and asked in confusion:

"That Balor Ratu is clearly just a minor lord on the first level of the Abyss, controlling a small and insignificant piece of land. I wonder what strange opportunity he has obtained to acquire some powerful helpers."

Beside the Sleepless One, another wolf-serpent demon, who looked exactly like him—another wolf-serpent demon sharing the title "Sleepless One"—also spoke:

"A mere Balrog dares to attack your legion, the Undead King? How audacious!"

"Should we send a legion to crush Latour's territory in the first layer of the abyss, the [Abyss Plains]?"

The legion that was defeated in the material plane this time was just one of many terrifying abyssal legions of Okus.

The demon lord Okus, with a goat's head, a bloated body, and a foul stench, waved his hand:
"Can consider it."

"However, let's put this matter aside for now."

“You have a more important task at hand right now.”

"Not long ago, the Goddess of Eyes, 'The Great Mistress,' who resides in the 6th layer of the Bottomless Abyss, the 'Kingdom of Ten Thousand Eyes,' suddenly made a move..."

"This being, perhaps the most powerful being in the Abyss, has, for some unknown reason, also begun to take action..."

The High Priestess is not a demon lord, but an evil god whose kingdom was built in the abyss.

A powerful evil god!
The Abyss God is a level above the Demon Lord!
After assigning some tasks and watching the two wolf-serpent demons depart, Okus rose from the Bone Throne.

He turned his head and looked at the thousands upon thousands of undead creatures slowly marching across the pale frozen ground.

The King of the Undead recalled the scene he had just witnessed through the "snake head" of the wolf-serpent demon, and remembered the Balor fire demon surrounded by flames, and murmured to himself:

"The Flame Demon Lord Ratu?"

"I'll remember this name."

……

The Elven Kingdom, Silvermoon City.

"Now, Silvermoon City is facing much less pressure. At least for the next few months, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Because of my night raid, the demon army is on guard. It's not advisable to launch another sneak attack anytime soon."

Elion stood on the city wall, looking at the demon army, whose oppressive aura was much less than before, and said to the queen beside him.
