Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

Mona sighed deeply, raised his staff high, and was resigned to his fate.

The old professor's calm yet determined words ignited everyone's fighting spirit, and the initial fear and reluctance to fight vanished instantly.

There's no escaping now, and begging for mercy from the demon is pointless. Since we're going to become monster excrement anyway, we might as well bravely make the other side pay a terrible price.

If so many great demons are allowed to escape, the inner city defenses that the Third Central District has just established will be destroyed, and their families and children will all die!

Everyone gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes filled with indignation.

This battle can only be won!

"Star Protection Federation!"

A knight shouted loudly, afraid of spurring his restless warhorse. His whole body was enveloped in red flames. Knowing that he was not strong enough, he still charged ahead of one of the three-headed hellhounds.

How can we talk about freedom if we can't even defend the main city?

"Star Protection Federation!"

The others also shouted and charged into the horde of demons, while flames and secret techniques danced in the quagmire of the governor's mansion.

"Children, dinner is ready!"

Pei Lun burst into laughter.

The hellhounds roared and surrounded a dwarf sorcerer, instantly devouring him into pieces.

Blood stained the muddy swamp, and screams of agony echoed throughout.

Some fell into pools of blood and sank into the swamp, but many more were warriors as fearless as demons, fighting desperately to get close to Pei Lun and destroy the great formation.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Pei Lun revealed a cruel smile. Nothing could make him happier than watching these useless people struggle in their death throes.

Janna and Chinora hid in the shadows, never showing themselves, simply because they didn't want their awkward identities to arouse suspicion and doubt among their companions.

The governor's mansion was more treacherous than expected. Pei Lun had completely set up a trap and was just waiting for them to come and die. The situation was really not good.

The powerful members of the Star Alliance School and the experts from the Sanctuary all followed Lady Vivian to close the outer wormhole, leaving the inner city's cleanup team stretched thin, with only a few elderly saints struggling to keep up.

In the sky, there was a tall, dark-skinned demon that was very troublesome. The demon of the Holy Land wielded a double-edged axe, stirring up a dark whirlwind. If you were not careful and got caught in it, you would be turned into a blood-soaked skeleton.

It was locked in combat with the sweating Professor Mona, and the dark magic was barely scratching the thick-skinned demon, which was extremely resistant.

The Grand Master of the Ceylon Academy was a near-saint warrior. The heroic horn of the Temple of War granted him strength and physical abilities, but stripped him of his intelligence.

The war god's followers jumped into the mud like madmen, punching and pounding the black-blooded lurkers with their powerful blows, making the mud monsters difficult to shape. However, they could not completely destroy them, and before they knew it, their hands and feet were soaked and entangled in mud.

The most terrifying was the leader of the Red Cerberus, a three-headed demonic hound that charged back and forth through the crowd with astonishing destructive power, and no one could stop it.

The three-headed giant dog was only slightly shorter than the giant, and it spewed frost, fire, and lightning from its mouth at the same time. Its spirit surged, and magic poured out as if it were free, dividing the battlefield.

Saint-level magical beasts are far more terrifying than humans and demons.

The young, impetuous knight brandished his sword in a provocation and was nearly swallowed by the frost. Had the giant not grabbed the knight by the neck in time, he would have met the same fate as his headless warhorse.

The fighting was fierce inside and outside the garden, with deafening explosions and collisions, and people were injured every second.

Whenever someone falls, all the demons rush forward to tear the corpse apart and devour their flesh, even their own kind.

Everyone had heard of this chilling fighting style, but witnessing it in person was a completely different and terrifying experience, which made them even more afraid of death and the image of becoming food for demons.

The little princess could hardly bear to look, but her limited abilities prevented her from helping at all. What worried her even more were Messiah and Meru in the dim wreath.

"roar-------!"

Suddenly, a dragon's roar echoed in the darkness, and a beautiful silver dragon soared down, its graceful form and shimmering scales.

The overwhelming aura of the gem dragon immediately sluggish the hellhound, causing it to twitch uneasily.

Zinora's eyes lit up, "Senior is here!"

Catherine was still wounded, and it seemed she had just come from the front lines of the resistance in the Third Central District to join the battle.

She squinted, fixed her gaze on the sacred demon hound, her entire body crystallized and solidified as she swooped down, biting down hard on one of the three-headed hound's necks, and then flapped her wings and took to the air.

"Awoooooo!"

The demon hound spewed flames and ice haphazardly, its claws tearing and biting. Finally, as it was lifted off the ground, it became aware of a trace of fear, leaving many wounds on the dragon's body.

Catherine did nothing but keep biting the demonic hound, climbing higher and higher until she was thousands of feet in the sky, and then suddenly let go of it amidst the heavy clouds and purple moon.

Then the demonic hound howled and fell heavily, its body slamming into the mud after a long time, causing a tremendous commotion.

The head that was spewing lightning was smashed into a bloody pulp, gushing black blood and convulsing uncontrollably.

The demon dog had lost both legs, yet it still managed to get up with great difficulty, its vitality was terrifyingly tenacious.

Catherine gave it no chance to catch its breath, perched atop the wall and unleashing a torrent of crystal flame dragon breath that swept across the battlefield, taking away many wounded demons.

Since returning from Paradise Island, Princess Longji's strength seems to have become increasingly terrifying, and she is about to enter the sixteenth-level Quasi-Saint realm.

Pei Lun frowned slightly, his right hand forming a black sword as he looked at the crystal dragon's head with disgust.

At that moment, Janna made her move, waiting for the Demon Governor to be distracted.

The Dark Soul Warrior moved with lightning speed, leaving a black line in the air as he attacked Pei Lun's back, attempting a fatal blow!

"Um!?"

Pei Lun raised an eyebrow, turned around in astonishment, and narrowly avoided a knife to the neck. That familiar aura was actually from his own clan?

Gana didn't pursue further, retreating to the side of the sunflower wreath and cutting open the mud tentacles; her purpose was to release Skadi.

The secretary-general nodded to the little angel principal, then leaped high after rescuing the two students, returning to the wall to lead them away from danger.

Succubus?

"Wow, this is such a wonderful surprise!"

Pei Lun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I remember you, Oathbreaker Garoona. So you've been hiding in the Star Alliance School all these years. We've been searching for you for so long. Lord Sion will be very happy to see his adjutant!"

139. Chaos Descends

Sorry, but "Pei Lun" is not a traitor to the Free Federation; he is a complete and utter demon.

To the Abyss, the shameful attempts of people like Meru and Janna to integrate into humanity are the most unforgivable traitors!

Upon discovering Gana's presence, Pei Lun immediately abandoned Ekaterina, and with his hands he conjured two icy gusts of wind, intending to catch up with the arrogant traitor. However, a scorching shock suddenly erupted from his side.

"Where are you looking, you little brat!"

A familiar, youthful voice snapped, angrily unleashing her trump card, the very origin of her name: "Solar Flare!"

She actually still retains so many souls!?

Before Pei Lun could dodge, a swirling vortex of intense heat from Skuld's small palm pressed against his chest, and the element of light that demons feared most was poured into his body!

Although the solar flare vortex was small and exquisite, it contained a rapidly spinning Sanctuary rune, imbued with the full power of the saint.

"Ahhhh!"

The mark of the God of Light instantly melted Pei Lun's flesh and blood, leaving a bloody, mangled hole in his chest.

The abyss demon's face contorted in terror as it retreated, writhing in agony in the dark swamp. The black rain and mud could not quell the flare; instead, the fire in its chest intensified!

Pei Lun was enveloped in thick smoke and collapsed in the mud.

"It worked!?"

The surviving conquerors were in high spirits, cheering for the counterattack of the [Flare] Saint.

Janna shook her head, cut off a demon's wing, and her palms, holding the cleaver, were covered in sweat.

Everyone looked up. The evil magic array that was raining black rain down from the sky had not been broken or weakened. Could it be because the holy land had not completely collapsed?

Scripps collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, but her expression remained tense.

Chi!

Suddenly, a tentacle covered in barbs and sharp teeth emerged from the thick smoke and tightly bound the little angel.

Shikoti's pupils contracted slightly as she was lifted into the air. Having exhausted all her strength, she had no power to resist. Her delicate body was torn apart and embedded in her skin by tentacles, and she let out a painful scream.

"This, this is..."

A grotesque monster emerged from the thick smoke. Its appearance was that of a bloody, mangled humanoid, with its skin and hair burned off and its features twisted and distorted like mud on its face. Countless black tentacles emerged from its gaping abdominal cavity.

Pei Lun's outward appearance has been destroyed, revealing the demon hidden within!

"Shape-Changing Demon!"

Professor Mona's lips trembled slightly. They should have realized it sooner; no wonder they had managed to deceive everyone with their mannerisms and speech.

Shapeshifters are extremely rare in the Abyss, and even rarer in the Holy Land. They possess the ability to mimic the voice, appearance, and even the fluctuations of a person's soul!

"How dare you damage my 'Pei Lun'! Do you know how precious the body of a saint is?!"

Pei Lun's twisted upper body fell behind him, and strange sounds came from a cluster of tentacles inside his stomach. He seemed extremely angry, and the tentacles tightly tore at Shi Koti's petite body, silencing her whimpering mouth.

Boom!

Another loud noise came from the east of the city, making this the fourth signal.

Invincible finally destroyed the beacon of the fourth Heart-Eating Array. That direction... was the Mercury Array where the Council of Freedom was located?

Such speed! The man didn't hesitate at all.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The shapeshifting demon extended two tentacles and clapped its hands gently.

"Heh, you've got some quick moves. The Cathedral of the Holy Light, the White Emperor's Star Sanctuary, and the Milky Way Ark of the Seven Luminaries Temple—none of these could stop you. But I didn't expect you to get the council's approval so quickly. You even destroyed the Mercury Array. You've got some skills."

In fact, without obtaining the consent of the parliament, someone simply threw all the officials and members of parliament out and smashed the entire Star Tower with a single punch.

"I'm very sorry, it was my carelessness that led to us playing for so long. I wanted to keep you happy for a while longer, but there's nothing I can do now. You guys are just too annoying. Lord Sion wouldn't want to see this."

The Shapeshifter sighed, and more Blackblood Lurkers emerged from the mud. Demons lurking in the mansion swarmed in, and there were even two more Saint-rank Cerberus!

The crowd's expressions changed drastically, their despair palpable. "Pei Lun" had indeed been toying with them!

All the souls of everyone were exhausted, but less than half of the demons were eliminated. The Heart-Eating Array was still not broken, which disappointed Invincible and Vivian.
