The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Several meteors, resembling flames, streaked across the night sky, growing larger and larger.

Has a new round of siege warfare begun at Hanya Pass?

Ye Xiao was taken aback at first, and then suddenly realized—

No! Those meteors are heading this way!!!

"Enemy attack! Everyone be careful!!!"

He immediately turned around and shouted towards the camp. Those fiery meteors that streaked across the night sky, which seemed far away just a second ago, were now descending from the sky with the aura of death, instantly bombarding the camp and the mountain wall.

"boom"

Dazzling flames exploded one after another, causing the earth to shake violently, and the shattered rocks turned into countless fire raindrops.

A piercing scream echoed throughout the camp, and panicked knights rushed into the camp from the woods to the west, bringing the terrible news.

"Enemy!!! Enemy spotted in the woods to the west..."

"call out"

A tiny, jet-black shadow emerged from the forest and struck the knight precisely in the back of the head, drawing a spray of blood.

Chapter Seventy-Two: The Headshot Mage

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny black shadows swarmed through the woods, buzzing.

Ye Xiao hurriedly stuck his staff into the ground and cast a spell to summon a thick stone wall, but was surprised to see those tiny shadows draw arcs around the stone wall and swarm onto several camp soldiers behind it.

He immediately swung the end of his staff, spewing a burst of flames onto the dark figures, only then realizing that these things, moving at the speed of flying arrows, were actually tiny insects.

"Demons!!! Demons are attacking!!!"

Screams erupted from within the camp as a buzzing swarm of insects transformed into a death storm, instantly devouring the lives of the outer soldiers before coalescing into several black tornadoes that hurtled into the camp.

However, these insects, which were rampaging around, seemed to be deliberately avoiding Ye Xiao. But he couldn't pay attention to that right now, because he heard another series of hurried footsteps coming from the forest.

Immediately afterwards, a demon knight with deep red skin, riding a wolf-shaped magical beast, suddenly rushed out of the forest.

Meanwhile, in the camp, the mages of Laxion summoned a large swath of flames to dispel the shadowy insect swarms, while the guard knights who had survived the first wave of attacks picked up their weapons and met the charging horned wolf knights.

In an instant, the forest on the cliff edge transformed into a chaotic battlefield, with fiery meteors falling like raindrops and the sounds of fierce fighting echoing everywhere.

Ye Xiao glanced at the surrounding situation, his sharp eyes piercing through the countless horned wolf knights rushing across the battlefield, and quickly locked onto a demon of particularly large size.

The giant wolf beneath the opponent's mount was much more robust than the other horned wolves, and unlike the other horned wolves' deep black color like volcanic rock, this giant wolf's body was covered with strange, blood-red patterns.

The demon, with two horns on its head, was wielding a large axe as it charged through the defensive line. With a single, overwhelming blow, it cleaved several guards' knights riding black panthers in two at the waist, horse and rider.

In a large-scale war, there is always a limit to what an individual can achieve. Therefore, for a highly skilled individual like Ye Xiao, the best way to maximize his effectiveness is to directly identify and kill the enemy's commander.

"Professor Brandon, where are you going!?"

Seeing Ye Xiao about to leave with his staff in hand, Vandrian, seemingly worried, quickly grabbed his arm. "The knights of the Laxion family will cover us. The most important thing now is to protect the remaining students and evacuate as soon as possible!"

"You go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."

However, Ye Xiao shook off Van Derrian's hand without saying a word.

He had no time for fussing with men; taking care of the wolf cavalry captain would undoubtedly reduce the pressure on the camp's defenses.

If Ella's divine magic is not exposed for large-scale attacks, then killing generals is the most efficient way for him to assist.

"Tch, you idiot!"

When Van Delian saw Ye Xiao leave without saying a word, he stomped his foot in anger.

Then, as if realizing that his tone and actions were not appropriate for his status, he quickly adjusted himself and turned to run into the camp.

On the battlefield.

The great demon riding a blood-striped horned wolf cleaved the black panther knight in two with a single axe stroke. Then, with his left hand outstretched, he shot out thin, blood-red threads from his fingertips, instantly binding the other knight and pulling him into his palm from a distance.

Several knights around him swung their blades, striking the demon's skin, but it was as if they had struck a steel plate, producing only a few sparks.

The guard knight, who was already considered tall among humans, had his head held in the great demon's hand like a fragile egg; with a gentle squeeze, it cracked open with a "crack."

The headless body drifted like a fallen leaf. The demon raised his fist to his mouth, clenched it tightly, and let the blood mixed with red and yellow flow from between his fingers into his mouth, letting out a cruel laugh.

The bloody and horrifying scene caused several knights around to involuntarily take a half step back, and the jungle leopards beneath them let out terrified "woof woof" cries.

Impervious to blades and spears, and protected by magic damage reduction, the group of guard knights were almost driven to despair.

They had seen powerful enemies before, but they had never seen an opponent as purely evil and cruel as this one, who only saw them as food.

Demons feed on humans and are inherently tyrannical—a narrative written in ancient mythology. It wasn't until the knights faced this reality that they finally understood the sheer terror contained in those few simple words.

"Give me more, you delicious human!"

The great demon shouted in demonic language, and seeing the knights around him retreating in fear, he became even more excited, brandishing his great axe and about to charge into the crowd.

But the next moment, a fireball suddenly shot out from the side.

The fireball wasn't particularly large, but it was incredibly fast. The great demon caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, gave a disdainful smile, and swung his axe to cleave it in two.

Trying to fight demons with fire? How foolish!

Unexpectedly, the two halves of the fireball that were split open suddenly transformed into two rock spikes, which pierced his left eyeball with a "whoosh".

"what!!!"

The demon, its eyeball pierced, roared in fury, gushing molten blood from its eye socket. Its remaining right eye darted around and immediately locked onto a tall, thin, black-clad mage in the crowd behind it.

"You're asking for it! You ant!!!"

He roared and kicked his mount, the Blood-Striped Horned Wolf's terrifying leaping power propelling him into the air.

In an instant, the great demon soared over the heads of the rows of knights in front of it, like a meteor falling from the sky, streaking across the air towards Ye Xiao's location.

But Ye Xiao simply knelt on the spot, holding the staff in his hands as if he were holding a long-barreled musket.

He was initially a little worried about whether he could hit the target in the chaos of battle.

But if this guy offers himself up, then you can't blame him.

As the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a sense of elegance gathered at the tip of his staff, resting behind a small but sharp earth elemental artifact that gleamed with a metallic sheen.

"boom"

With a loud bang, flames burst from the tail of the sharp rock cone, which unleashed a powerful thrust under the pressure of the spiraling airflow.

The rock cone tore through the night sky, transforming into a straight line that instantly struck the head of the great demon in mid-air.

The powerful penetrating force easily pierced the tough skull, and the demon stared in astonishment.

In all his long years, he had never seen magic launched so fast that his head was already bursting open the moment he caught a glimpse of the flame.

Lava Sniper, a powerful piercing spell created by player mages in the previous life, was designed to deal with tough targets like demons.

The demon's special skin, which is supposed to suppress the effects of magic, is quite powerless against this kind of spell that converts magic into kinetic energy.

Back then, let alone such a great demon, even the heads of the Hydra were pierced by several highly skilled mage players using this heaven-defying spell.

Ye Xiao is now using this magic to deal with this guy, which is exactly what he's good at.

Its enormous body fell from the sky, but it was no longer arrogant as before. It crashed to the ground with a loud thud, raising a cloud of dust.

The blood-striped horned wolf was still roaring as it tried to avenge its master, but Ye Xiao, expressionless, shoved the staff into its mouth and casually blasted its head off.

Chapter Seventy-Three: The Blood Prince

The sudden death of the horned wolf knight commander instantly boosted the morale of the guard knights who had been filled with fear.

These seemingly unstoppable demons are not entirely invincible; at least, some of them have the ability to deal with these guys.

Ye Xiao moved through the rear of the battlefield, carrying his staff and specifically targeting the demon leaders, assassinating them as if Death himself were calling on them. He killed them one by one with a single spell, managing to stabilize the collapsing defensive line.

But that's all they can do. Right now, it's probably just a scout unit attacking. Behind these demons is an entire legion, and their reinforcements will only get stronger. The defense line will be breached sooner or later.

Therefore, the knights at the rear of the camp intensified their efforts to assist in the ascent, as they would no longer need to fight these demons if they could complete the evacuation.

However, with fireballs still bombarding the mountain, the students below could only wait until the guard mages on the mountaintop set up a defensive barrier and repaired the Green Vine Wall. It was impossible for them to climb the mountain while enduring the bombardment.

Meanwhile, on the eastern side of the camp, more and more guard knights were surrounding Ye Xiao.

As time went on, everyone seemed to have figured out how to fight this battle. They took the lead in shielding Ye Xiao from the onslaught and harassment of the ordinary horned wolf knights and the black insect swarm, while Ye Xiao picked off the high-combat-power individuals from the rear.

Some of the most arrogant demons have already fallen, and the remaining ones want to catch the despicable humans who only know how to hide in the back, but they cannot break through the obstacles for the time being.

But then, from the hills behind this demon army, a knight with a cold and arrogant expression slowly emerged, leading a skeletal warhorse clad in heavy black armor.

He wore a silver crown and a blood-red suit of armor; his face was handsome and human-like, yet unusually pale.

He glanced at the situation on the field, his brows furrowing slightly. "How come we haven't taken down a mere human camp after half an hour?"

"Lord Assar,"

A succubus with two horns under her command nervously clasped her hands together and said, "These humans are cunning; they used strange methods to kill several knight commanders!"

"Tsk, a bunch of useless trash."

Asar said coldly, his icy gaze locking onto Ye Xiao, who was behind a group of human knights. He then flicked the reins of his skeletal horse and charged onto the battlefield like an arrow.

"Despicable ants!!!"

His voice was like a cold winter wind, sweeping across the battlefield in an instant.

"Lord Assar! Lord Assar is here!!! Charge, minions!!!"

When the demons saw their leader appear, they charged even more fiercely, afraid that their bravery would go unnoticed.

That's... the Demon Lord!?

The human knights were terrified at the mere sight of the enemy's imposing presence.

"My lord! My lord!..."

Beside the horse's hooves, a ram-headed demon, half-crouching, saw Asar riding proudly on his horse and excitedly shouted.

"Humph."

Assar ignored his men's exclamations, mounted on his horse, and watched the demons surge forward like a raging tide, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He casually drew the sword from his waist and pointed its cold light directly at the bewildered black-clad mage in the distance.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, and the engraved inscriptions shimmered with a powerful magical glow.

This is a knight's sword forged from hellfire iron, and personally enchanted by the oldest legendary glyph of the Blood Demon race.

"My lord! My lord!!!..."

"I am Asar, the Blood Prince, son of the noble Cain, the Duke of Hell! Cowardly humans, state your names, and I will cut off your heads to drink with..."

"boom"

With a loud bang, the chilling declaration came to an abrupt end.

Blood blossomed in mid-air, and the proud Blood Prince Asar tumbled off his horse with a thud.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and even the demons, who had just become excited, were taken aback.

"...Where did these fries come from?"

Ye Xiao's lips twitched as he put down the staff, its tip emitting wisps of blue smoke.

After he killed a few of them, the great demons on the field became smarter and stopped attacking, hiding in the demon horde and not showing themselves, so he couldn't find a good target for a while.

To everyone's surprise, a cocky-looking idiot suddenly appeared out of nowhere, riding on such a tall horse, standing still while giving a speech and striking various poses, as if he was afraid Ye Xiao would miss his shot.

"Damn... ants!!!"

Just as Ye Xiao thought that the guy was dead, a roar suddenly came from the front of the battlefield.

But then Asar’s headless body rose slowly and eerily from the ground and floated in mid-air.

The crimson magic circle enveloped him like a blood-red sun, and the blood gushing from his neck gradually congealed, transforming back into his handsome, pale face.

His piercing eyes were fixed on Ye Xiao in the distance, and a voice filled with the aura of death emanated from his mouth.

"Human!!! By the blood prince's command, I swear to tear you to pieces..."

"boom"
