Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

A beam of black and red light streaked across the sky and crashed heavily to the base of the palace tower.

That was the surging demonic energy of the Dragon Spear Calamity; the Saint's violent power directly pierced through the foundation of the Sanctuary!

"Huh?"

Vivian's pupils contracted slightly. The direction she and the priests had come from, the Star Sanctuary that stood like a white spear in the center of the Milky Way, began to tilt slightly and slowly collapsed in the stunned gaze of the legion soldiers and the entire city's inhabitants.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted a second time, crashing down to the east.

The Holy Land of the Federation, which had stood for a thousand years, the Star Sanctuary in the main city collapsed in a crash!

If nothing unexpected happens, the unfortunate victims were likely the ancient castle belonging to the Star Realm Consortium.

Invincible seemed to have also discerned the origin of the strange runes outlined by the great formation and made the same judgment.

The Black Lich made no attempt to hide its weaknesses; it was clear that it wanted Wings of Liberty to cripple itself.

"He...he..."

Vivian covered her mouth and gasped, then let out a strange laugh.

They're perfectly in sync, decisive to an outrageous degree; they really are a perfect match...

Not only was the headmaster frightened, but Zenora, Janna, and the others were also shocked by the Chaos Knight's atrocities. The man didn't even hesitate for a moment.

The good-natured Black Iron Guardian scratched the back of his head, utterly impressed. "My God, how dare that kid! Isn't he afraid the Temple Warriors and the Holy War Maiden will come after him?"

The battle to breach the city had reached its climax. At this point, no one from any of the holy lands would remain. Vivian floated in the air, looking at the dark passages on the distant city walls, and shouted, "Go for it! Star-Blessed Federation!"

There's no time for questioning. Now that someone has stepped forward, there's no turning back. We'll deal with everything after we win this war!

All other obstacles were handed over to the Saint of the End. The Soul Warriors and Mystics outside the Governor's Mansion were invigorated and no longer felt any pressure.

Countless halos of light and flame erupted from the swamp, and secret techniques and martial arts bombarded the mud, clearing the way and storming into the governor's mansion!

At the mansion directly below the grand formation, Pei Lun was sitting on the steps, a hint of surprise appearing on his once spirited but now aged face.

"Oh my, they've actually made up their minds. Which brave warrior is willing to bear eternal infamy to save the Free Federation? It's truly admirable. Even if this city is saved, no one will be grateful to him."

Gratitude was never something the beautiful goddess king desired; all she wanted now was certain lives.

All the scum who stand in the way of the Chaos Witch's debut and her widespread fame across all planes must die!

Without exception!

137. High-Ranking Demon

"The free people are stronger than you think!"

A weak, delicate voice called out from the courtyard.

"Huh? You're still alive!"

Pei Lun chuckled, looking at the three people inside the sunflower wreath.

It must be said that the former commander-in-chief of the Unicorn Knights was very tenacious, managing to hold out for a whole day and night inside the Black Lich Lord's Heart-Eating Array.

Skadi's face was deathly pale, as if all the blood had been drained from her, but even so, she did not give up hope when she realized that a major upheaval had occurred in the city.

The flare wreath had been compressed into a small ball of light by the black water, with mud seeping into it from time to time, leaving corrosive marks on the angel loli's fair skin.

Messiah and Meru lay listlessly on the ground, unaware of the bad news that the outer city had already fallen.

"You may die... but none of us will die!"

"I just don't know whether your will or your body will break down first."

Pei Lun pricked up his ears and smiled slightly. "Listen, another wormhole has been breached. Do you know how much we paid to break through the spatial barrier of the prime plane? You wouldn't understand even if I told you! The Demon King's great conquest has only just begun. The million-strong army of the Abyss will soon flatten this place. At that time, even if the Heart-Eating Array is gone, it won't matter. The Milky Way will be ours!"

Skuld panicked and spat, "Stop exaggerating! You're dead when the headmaster gets here!"

"Ah, Saint Magus Vivian, she is indeed the strongest woman I have ever seen, the best among all living beings on earth."

Pei Lun straightened his dress and slowly walked down into the garden. "But a woman is still a woman. Lord Sion will deal with her personally. In fact, the Holy Archmage should be too busy to handle this now. No matter how strong one person is, they can't defeat an army of evil demons. I'm curious to see which wormhole she will fall from the ashes."

"What did you say? The Evil Slaughter Army has already entered the city!?"

Messiah propped himself up, his mouth dry and his body weak, unable to sing a single syllable.

The great formation prevented anyone in the city from drawing souls from the air to recover their health.

"impossible!"

Skadi gritted her teeth, her small hand clutching a white-incandescent rune, waiting for the moment when Pei Lun would lower his guard and approach.

"Don't believe me? Someone will be coming in to die soon. You can ask them all before they die, and die knowing why."

Pei Lun stared intently at the door.

boom!

The next second, a giant meteor hammer burst through the door, and a spiraling shockwave reached the face of the Galactic Governor.

Pei Lun smiled, pinched the steel ball with one hand, and easily neutralized the powerful earth spirit attached to it, his body remaining completely still.

The first to rush in was a burly giant. His massive body, over four meters tall, smashed open the entire door with terrifying strength. Yet, even so, he couldn't budge the giant needle-like ball at the end of the meteor hammer.

"Seismic wave!"

The giant roared and stomped on the earth, unleashing several shockwaves that struck the known traitor, Pei Lun.

This is a common high-level martial skill on the battlefield. It can be mastered by an eighth-level Earth Soul Spirit and is quite practical. When it is performed by a fifteenth-level adult giant, it is even more terrifying, causing the governor's mansion to shake violently.

"Unbelievable!"

Pei Lun grinned coldly, revealing a row of sharp fangs, his eyes flashing with a yellow light, and he also stomped his foot heavily on the ground.

Although it was a substitute, this demon still possessed the strength of a Saint-level being, and ordinary high-level martial artists were no match for it.

"Seismic wave!"

The shockwaves, twice as powerful, shattered the earth, splitting rocks and instantly shattering the attack, which then rebounded onto the giant!

boom!

The big guy was knocked to the ground, fell heavily, and slumped against the wall, dizzy and disoriented.

His own martial arts skills were perfectly imitated and returned with an even more superior saintly soul.

The many powerful figures following behind were astonished when they saw this scene.

As we all know, Pei Lun, the "Hundred Battles" warrior, is a Holy Light Warrior with a single soul color and is only good at using light martial arts. How could he have revealed the earth spirit?

A fighter from Denton Academy caught a glimpse of the sunflower wreath behind Pei Lun and instantly recognized the winged loli struggling against the darkness.

"It's Principal Skadi! Are you alright?"

Seeing that Messiah and the other two were safe and sound, Gana and Zenora, who were behind the crowd, were slightly relieved. However, the governor's mansion in front of them was like a den of filth, filled with a foul stench and corrosive power, and black cement slurry everywhere, which made them feel uneasy.

Messiah and Mero finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but pray to heaven for help, as they had finally been rescued.

Now it was Skuld's turn to stare smugly at Pei Lun, as if to say that his death was imminent.

How did you find this place?

Gana's expression was solemn. She shook her head softly and, along with the other teachers, remained vigilant towards the governor, who had once been the most reliable person in the world.

"The coronation ceremony consumed a large number of magic crystal towers, and the defensive barrier has not yet recovered. Pei Lun summoned an evil magic circle to drain the life force of the people in the city, and in collusion with the abyss demons, opened several spatial wormholes. The outer city has already been overrun by the demon army..."

The disaster did indeed happen just as Pei Lun had planned!

Skuld's heart skipped a beat. Had they been trapped here for so long?

"I already told you."

Pei Lun grinned maliciously as he crushed the meteor hammer, his gaze sweeping over each of the dead men's faces as if selecting suitable bodies from among them to keep as spoils of war.

beep!

Professor Mona tapped his staff, and countless black magic orbs gathered from all directions, aimed at the traitor.

"Pei Lun, why don't you surrender now!"

"He is not Pei Lun. The real governor has died in the abyss. What has returned is a demon in Pei Lun's skin!"

Shocked and breathless, Skuld warned anxiously, "Many powerful demons are still lurking here, everyone be careful!"

"What!?"

Everyone was astonished. What kind of evil magic was this? They couldn't distinguish between humans and demons at all.

"You've got it all wrong. You're the ones who should give up. This is my territory, and you're nothing but rats that have stumbled into a trap! No one will be able to break through the Mercury Array before Lord Sion breaches it!"

Pei Lun's body twitched for a moment, then he raised his arm and waved it. Instantly, dozens of powerful demons appeared inside and outside the garden, surrounding everyone.

Numerous black, sludge-like creatures emerged from the rotten mud, and the dark blood lurking in the abyss coalesced into form, their bloodshot eyes greedily staring at every fleshy body.

A dozen or so night demons, which had been hovering in the sky, slowly descended onto the walls and rooftops, their mouths agape, drooling with anticipation.

With a series of crisp sounds coming from the surroundings, it seemed as if something had been released from the cage. Twelve giant hellhounds, grinding their teeth, slowly walked out of the room and stood behind Pei Lun.

"Hooray! So many demons!"

Mengmeng clenched her fists and stood back to back with Baihe.

The mentors and the spontaneously formed group of adventurers felt a chill run down their spines; their numbers and strength had instantly put them at a disadvantage.

138. Garonna the Oathbreaker

Each of the demons before them possessed a powerful soul of at least the fourteenth rank, comparable to a small army.

The evil forces grew stronger under the nourishment of the black rain and silt, while the warriors bathed in the black rain had to divert their power to the hellish erosion, constantly weakening them.

Although everyone knew that the Governor's Mansion would not be so easily taken back, the level of danger still exceeded their expectations.

That insidious and vicious guy has been plotting this day ever since he replaced Pei Lun!

"Gentlemen, I am honored to be able to fight alongside you again in my lifetime!"
