Necromancer, but pre-collapse civilization

　It was precisely because of this execution capability, along with the attribute enhancement from the necromancer, that the undead legion was able to firmly withstand the frenzied onslaught of the demon army, even in the absence of sufficient high-end combat power.

　However, any of the demon overseers could see that this situation was only temporary.

　When the undead forces suffer losses exceeding a certain limit, no matter how fearless they are, they will be unable to continue to stop the advance of the demon army.

　The sheer scale of the invasion of the territory of Soul-Binding Demon Lord Isidore by the necromancer Morros, leading his undead army, shook the entire 406th layer of the Abyss.

　Faced with this situation, the other four lesser demon lords, including the succubus lord Naslin, naturally would not simply remain bystanders.

　Especially Naslin, who knew exactly what the necromancer's purpose was in launching this war.

　Therefore, while the undead army besieged Isidore's capital, the succubus lord quietly launched her operation.

　She cleverly used the war, which had drawn most of the attention of the other three lesser demon lords, as cover to successfully complete the covert assembly of her elite demon legion.

　Subsequently, this ambitious demigod succubus, who aspired to become the demon lord of the 406th layer of the abyss, did not hesitate to fix her sharp gaze on a relatively weak and somewhat lax less guarded lesser demon lord.

　She launched a sudden attack, swiftly and decisively ending the life of this lesser demon lord with her irresistible, deadly charm, cunning schemes, and strength that is formidable even among demigods.

　However, even though Naslin's actions were so secretive and swift, the other two lesser demon lords still keenly sensed the fall of that lesser demon lord.

　At this point, Naslin's meticulously planned scheme had been completely exposed to them.

　Unfortunately, by the time they realized the succubus lord's plan, it was too late.

　At this moment, in the entire 406th layer of the abyss, there are only 5 lesser demon lords of the demigod rank remaining.

　Among them, the necromancer is engaged in a fierce battle with the Soul-Binding Demon Lord, and both sides seem to be determined to fight to the death.

　Naslin had just annihilated a lesser demon lord.

　In other words, only the two of them remain as the lesser demon lords capable of participating in the siege of Naslin.

　This power imbalance was clearly insufficient to pose a fatal threat to Naslin.

Chapter 628 The Fall of the Soul-Binding Demon Lord

　If we calculate solely based on combat strength in direct battle, then the succubus lord Naslin certainly couldn't possibly be a match for two lesser demon lords who had truly reached the demigod level.

　But the art of war is far more than just direct confrontation.

　Under the cover of the demon legion, even two genuine demigod-level lesser demon lords could not completely stop the succubus lord who was determined to escape.

　If Naslin herself cannot be kept on the battlefield, then the victory of the battle loses its original substantial meaning.

　After all, once Naslin withdraws the demon city she hastily built in the 406th layer of the abyss territory, she can prolong the war indefinitely with the protection of the city's defensive magic system.

　However, simply watching and doing nothing was not something those two lesser demon lords could accept.

　This stems not only from the demons' instinctive urge to fight and kill, but more importantly, from their urgent need to break the current unfavorable situation.

　Although they always verbally dismissed necromancers and succubus lords as weaklings who needed to join forces to start a war, in reality, these two lesser demon lords harbored deep fear of the alliance between Moros and Naslin.

　Admittedly, neither necromancers nor succubi lords are considered powerful if judged solely on a racial level.

　However, racial strength is one thing, but when it comes to a specific strong individual, it's a different story.

　Moros has single-handedly caused the fall of several lesser demon lords, including the Six-Armed Serpent Lord, the Temptress Lord, and the Soul Judge Lord, proving his power to the entire Abyss.

　As for Naslin, as a descendant of the succubus queen Mechanshute, her strength is beyond doubt.

　These two powerful figures not only possessed exceptional strength, but they had also established a certain level of trust in each other, giving them a clear advantage over the two lesser demon lords who joined forces.

　If they cannot break this stalemate while the necromancers are still locked in fierce battle with the Soulbinder Lord, then once Moros defeats Isidore, they will be even less able to withstand the alliance between the necromancers and the succubus lord.

　At that time, their dream of becoming the demon lords of the 406th layer of the abyss will undoubtedly be shattered.

　Faced with such a dire situation, the two lesser demon lords knew that time was of the essence and they had to take action as soon as possible.

　Adhering to the Tanari demons' fine tradition of acting rashly when in doubt, the two lesser demon lords quickly reached a consensus after some discussion—

　One of the lesser demon lords was tasked with restraining Naslin, while the other...

　The lesser demon lords rushed to the Soulbinder Lord's capital city to join forces with Isidore to fight against the necromancer Moros, aiming to eliminate him in one fell swoop.

　To say that such a plan is completely unfeasible would be a rash judgment.

　Unfortunately, due to a lack of trust between the two lesser demon lords, neither was willing to hand over their demon legions to the other for safekeeping.

　Therefore, the lesser demon lord who decided to go to the main city of the Soul-Binding Demon Lord had no choice but to bring his demon army with him.

　It is obvious that this is a heavy burden.

　Bringing the entire demon army means that it will be difficult to pursue speed and agility in action.

　In this critical moment where every second counts, such restrictions could be fatal.

　Although they were fully aware of this, the two lesser demon lords were unwilling to make the slightest concession on this issue for their own benefit.

　As long-time rivals who have fought for many years in the 406th layer of the abyss, they know each other inside and out.

　They were all certain that if they handed over their demon legions to the other side, what awaited them would be a devastating return, with the legions severely weakened and unable to fight.

　Even if we defeat the combined forces of the necromancer and the succubus lord by then, what then?

　The victory will still be snatched away by another lesser demon lord.

　If they didn't harbor the ambition to become the demon lords of the 406th layer of the abyss, why would they go to such lengths to fight bloody battles against troublesome beings like necromancers and succubus lords?

　In the Tanari demon's value system, if they are not the only ones to win, they would rather both sides lose than see someone else enjoy victory alone.

　Given this, it is reasonable and not surprising that the lesser demon lord who chose to support the Soulbound Demon Lord would make such a decision.

　Naslin was certainly not unaware of the movements of the two lesser demon lords and their demon legions.

　However, she was not worried about this at all; on the contrary, she held a subtle welcoming attitude.

　On the one hand, the actions of these two lesser demon lords effectively relieved the pressure Naslin was currently facing, allowing her to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.

　On the other hand, deep down, she secretly longed for the necromancer's demise.

　Because once the necromancer falls, the heavy reward she promised will no longer need to be paid.

　Even for a descendant of the succubus queen, it would be no easy task to produce the staggering reward stipulated in the devil's contract all at once, which would inevitably cause great damage to her power.

　If this huge expense can be cleverly avoided, it will undoubtedly be an extremely worthwhile deal for Naslin.

　Therefore, even though she noticed the movements of the two lesser demon lords, the succubus lord had no intention of informing the necromancer.

　The focus shifts back to the battlefield between the necromancer Morros and the Soulbinder Lord Isidore.

　With a deafening roar, the surging torrent of dark souls, like a raging giant wave, completely engulfed the Soul-Binding Demon Lord, who was tightly entangled by the embodiment of death.

　As the surging torrent of souls gradually subsided, Isidore's lifeless and dilapidated body plummeted toward the ground under the pull of gravity.

　He casually cast a spell, taking Isidore's corpse into his possession.

　Then, Moros cast another spell, skillfully sealing the soul of the lesser demon lord into a precious magic crystal he had prepared beforehand.

　Only then did the necromancer finally have time to turn his gaze to the fiercely contested battlefield below.

　As he expected, the undead legion, lacking high-end combat power, was thoroughly thrashed by a demon legion led by a demon overseer.

　The necromancer was not surprised at all.

　Among the thirty million undead army he brought to this battlefield, the strongest fighting force was nothing more than a one-time legendary undead created in haste.

　Facing a dozen or so high-level legendary demon overseers, such a performance is normal and nothing to be surprised about.

　However, what comforted him somewhat was that even at this point, the number of undead troops still exceeded five million.

　Furthermore, this undead force is quite elite.

　This is also normal.

　Low-level undead are too fragile to survive in battles of this scale.

Chapter 629 The Shadow Demon Lord's Decision

　After briefly assessing the battlefield situation and confirming that the undead legion he had brought to this battlefield was still worth saving, Moros began casting spells to annihilate the demon overseers who were unaware of the impending doom.

　在一

　Under the spell cast by a demigod-level necromancer, a demon overseer who was immersed in a killing frenzy was annihilated without even having time to let out a scream.

　The fall of this demonic overseer was not without significance.

　His death served as a wake-up call, instantly making the other demon overseers realize that the outcome of the battle in the high-altitude battlefield was already decided.

　Then, without the slightest hesitation, they immediately fled in different directions.

　The wisdom of these demon overseers who have reached the high-level legendary rank is beyond doubt.

　They knew very well that resistance was pointless against a necromancer who had defeated the Soulbinder Lord Isidore.

　To save their precarious lives, their only option was to race against their former comrades.

　It's like a group of people encountering a tiger. You don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than most people.

　In the hearts of these demon overseers, as long as they can surpass their colleagues—the other demon overseers—they will have a chance to escape from the clutches of the necromancer.

　Unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be easily bridged by mere cleverness.

　Faced with the relentless pursuit of a demigod-level necromancer, these demon overseers ultimately could not escape the fate of total annihilation.

　Their only achievement was that they bought those legendary-level great demons a chance to escape.

　In order to completely annihilate those high-ranking legendary demon overseers, Moros had to reluctantly abandon the idea of ​​wiping out all the great demons on the battlefield.

　Unfortunately, compared to high-level legendary demon overseers, those legendary-level great demons are indeed less valuable.

　Even so, the number of legendary great demons who successfully broke through the spatial sealing spells and escaped the sealed battlefield has been reduced to half of what it was before the war began.

　With the loss of the Demon Overlord and the Great Demons, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

　Without the support of these powerful demons, the undead army gradually gained an advantage over the demon army.

　Even though the undead legion suffered heavy losses in the previous battles, the remaining undead forces are still enough to pose a deadly threat to the demon legion that has lost its leadership.

　After all, with the escape of the Demon Overlord and the Great Demon, those demons who were still able to maintain their rationality and were not completely consumed by their bloodlust also began to flee.

　As is well known, once such a large-scale rout occurs, it is as unstoppable as a dam bursting.

　Standing atop the head of the hastily summoned ghost dragon, Moros coldly surveyed the battlefield below, his face devoid of any pity.

　He simply followed the established procedure, casting new spells to completely eradicate more demons from the world.

　Just like the actions taken by the succubus lord Naslin in the face of the latest actions of the two lesser demon lords.

　The necromancer also harbored his own plans.

　He did not want Naslin to take advantage of this battle to gather too many remnants of the demon army.

　Otherwise, the time he could stay in the 406th layer of the abyss would be greatly reduced.

　As a spellcaster renowned for his wisdom, Moros would never place his hopes on a devil's contract.

　He knew that any contract could be broken if the other party was willing to pay a sufficient price.

　The reason why both parties are able to maintain a delicate balance and abide by every clause of the contract is that they are currently able to do so.

　Besides the inherent binding force of the devil's contract, it is also because the benefits gained from breaking the contract do not outweigh the benefits of maintaining it.

　However, Moros knew very well that once the benefits were tempting enough, he had no belief that Naslin would remain unmoved and would break the devil's contract that had been agreed upon by both parties.

　Never try to test human nature, because human nature cannot withstand the test.

　This principle is an irrefutable truth in most parts of the world.

　Therefore, in order to ensure that his own interests are not harmed, Moros must minimize the benefits that the succubus lord Naslin may gain from this battle.

　three days later.

　Just as the undead soldiers, under Moros's will, had completely cleared the battlefield and were meticulously searching every treasure within the demon city of Soulbinder Lord Isidore, the demon legions under the Shadow Demon Lord's command also came into view of the vigilant forces he had deployed in the outer area of ​​the demon city.

　Although the wraiths who were the first to sense the approach of the Shadow Fiend Lord and his demonic legion only had a fleeting moment of light before being swiftly annihilated, this did not prevent Moros from obtaining this crucial intelligence in time.

　For Moros, the necromancer who had a spiritual link with his undead troops, the fact that his guard force of nearly 1,500 wraiths was wiped out in just a few breaths clearly indicated that they had encountered an insurmountable and powerful enemy.

　With the profound wisdom gained from four leaps in life level, Moros quickly made a judgment—

　Looking at the entire 406th

　In the deepest abyss, the only beings capable of arriving at this point in time are the two lesser demon lords who confronted him and Naslin, and their demon legions. Only they possess such astonishing power.

　Sensing a new threat had entered the fray, Moros decisively halted his raid on the demon city of Isidore.

　At his command, the undead forces scattered throughout the ruins of the city immediately began to assemble.
