Behind them, the members of the [Demon Slayer] team watched the demons that had landed on the shore, already poised and ready to fight.
Amu looked solemnly at Luo Xiu, who stood like a war god on the edge of the black reef, and sighed softly:
"I didn't expect that Kanriel would send two fifth-tier beings this time, and one of them is so strong."
"Judging from his current performance, this guy would rank among the top in our entire Knights Order, but it's a pity..."
"It's wishful thinking for two fifth-tier warriors to hold such a strong battle line."
He turned to look at the crowd behind him and hissed:
"All troops, listen to my command!!! Disperse the battle lines, concentrate forces at both ends, and de-emphasize forces in the center."
This was a decision completely opposite to usual. In previous battles, the strongest forces of the monsters were usually concentrated in the center. But today, this was changed because of Luo Xiu. The lower-level monsters were all fleeing frantically to the sides.
But after he gave the order, he was surprised to find that the people in front of him did not move, but looked behind him in shock.
He turned his head, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw a scene he would never forget.
The girl with animal ears had vanished, replaced by a colossal beast with snow-white fur. It stood there, blocking out the starlight, its massive form soaring into the sky, its top invisible to the eye.
What kind of monster is this? !
Even a veteran like Amu, who had experienced years of monster battles, felt a surge of fear the moment he saw Leila.
Because Leila's size was simply too enormous, even exceeding the tallest building in the entire Kingdom of Dorant, and beyond his comprehension.
Above the clouds, Leila's eyes shone with a golden light, looking like two full moons, as if three moons appeared in the sky at the same time.
Facing the battle line stretching for thousands of meters, Leila roared, and a fierce wind swept through the air. The wind gradually increased and spread, until the entire sea became turbulent and the waves surged, as if the weather had changed.
The low-level demons were unable to control their bodies under the onslaught of the fierce winds. They were swept into the air and, under the destructive force of the storm, their bodies cracked open with bloody gashes and eventually broke into several pieces.
Immediately afterwards, a huge crescent-shaped mark lit up behind Leila.
Sea fog suddenly rose.
White, hazy moonlight flowed from the huge crescent moon behind her, and one after another, shimmering white magic arrays unfolded in front of the battle line. Immense magical power surged, and countless thick rainbow beams burst forth, shooting towards the sea ahead.
Amidst screams, those low-level demons were utterly powerless to fight back, and all turned to ashes and vanished.
This is Leila's current fighting power at night.
After repeated enhancements to her bloodline, it had long since transcended the boundaries of this divinely forsaken land, reaching an undetectable level. Moreover, with the blessing of the moonlight, both her strength and magic power had reached their peak.
As Luo Xiu's main consort, she, like Luo Xiu, is well-rounded.
After repeated accumulation and skill enhancements, it has finally erupted in full force, displaying an overwhelming and devastating power.
Thousands of meters behind.
Novamp saw that everyone around him was stunned by Leila's appearance, turned his head to look at them, and then shook his head helplessly:
"I already told you, what are you worried about?"
Beside her, Lip, holding binoculars, was completely stunned. She finally understood why Novamp had been so certain the front line wouldn't be breached—Kanriel had sent two monsters!
However, before the shock in her heart could subside, an astonishing scene unfolded once again.
Basil stepped forward, a giant hammer appearing in his hand. As magic surged, it grew larger and larger until it became a colossal hammer that reached the heavens. With each strike, a massive shadow fell, crushing a large area to death.
There are too many monsters to kill them all right now, so there's no point in leaving Leila a corpse.
Her eyes were gently closed, and her entire forehead was glowing.
After Luo Xiu enhanced her bloodline, she was now able to use a trace of her bloodline power even without strong emotions.
And this slight change is the qualitative leap.
The power within her body surged and increased continuously, making the enormous hammer, whose weight was unknown, as light as a feather in her hands, and it swung around with great force.
Each hammer blow could kill a large number of low-level monsters.
This scene left everyone behind them speechless.
Amu's expression was not good either.
While holding the line was what he hoped for, it also meant that the fourth front was no longer needed; the three of them, including Basil, were sufficient.
What do we do now? Are we really going to be kicked out of the Knights?
How can such a large group of brothers, who have worked so hard for so many years, now be forced to become homeless?
He couldn't accept it; if that really happened, he wouldn't be able to face the deceased Selena.
The people standing nearby were also silent, the atmosphere somber, all thinking about the outcome.
In the dead silence, someone weakly spoke:
"How about...we give in to them...we apologize..."
His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
The burly man next to Amu stepped forward and angrily grabbed the speaker by the collar:
"You brat, you're already thinking of betraying us? Have you forgotten all the hard work and sacrifices Lady Selena made back then?"
He reached out his hand, seemingly about to lose his temper and strike, but was ultimately stopped by Amu:
"Babelp".
Seeing Amu's downcast gaze, the burly man stopped, but was still somewhat resentful.
"Sir, since they don't want us, let's leave—"
"Babelp!"
Amu spoke again, his tone more forceful.
The burly man shut up; clearly, during Selena's absence, Amu's performance had convinced everyone.
The room fell silent again. After a few seconds, accompanied by a deep sigh, Amu slowly spoke:
"There is one last push, and if they can hold on... I will apologize to them on behalf of everyone and ask for their forgiveness."
Seeing that someone was about to speak up to persuade them, Amu directly shut them down:
"Stop talking. If anyone can't accept it, they can leave if they want, but I will stay and defend the front line. This was Lady Selena's vision back then, and even if the general is replaced, my ultimate wish will not change."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. It was clear that Amu had struck a chord with them. In the end, they could only turn their attention to the battlefield by the Black Reef and wait for the final outcome.
Black Reef.
Luo Xiu kept throwing punches, which turned into wind and then into heat waves as he swung them at high speed. The punches crashed against the water curtain and eventually turned into wisps of steam, as if turning the sea into a misty marshland.
Currently, not a single fifth-tier monster has appeared. They overestimated the intensity of this ordinary demonic tide. There are hardly any high-tier monsters to be seen, and the low-tier monsters that have appeared are basically just being crushed.
Even fourth-tier monsters, Luo Xiu could kill them with a single punch.
Suddenly, Luo Xiu smiled slightly:
"finally reached."
He forcibly stopped his punch, which was about to fly into the air, and reversed the direction of his fist, smashing it fiercely towards the sea at his feet.
Just moments before, the sea had been relatively calm, but now a massive, dark figure rapidly approached, leaping out of the water and colliding head-on with Luo Xiu's fist.
"Tear!!!"
The fifth-tier water lizard, as large as a small mountain, howled and was blasted back into the water by Luo Xiu's punch.
Grayish-green blood gushed out like a pillar. Luo Xiu used the upgraded Weakness Technique, combined with his fully upgraded Strength, and smashed a huge crater into the Water Lizard's head with a single punch.
Then Luo Xiu moved swiftly, appearing directly in front of the mermaid behind the lizard before she fell into the water, and extended his right hand toward the mermaid's neck.
The mermaid immediately unleashed her skill, but was weakened by the spell, and Luo Xiu's speed was simply too fast.
With almost no resistance, the mermaid's fragile neck snapped with a "crack".
Chapter 233 Impressed
Spike! !
This scene shocked everyone behind them.
A fifth-tier mermaid was killed so easily by Luo Xiu; the visual impact was simply too strong.
Amu's originally solemn expression turned into a blank stare, and the expressions of the [Demon Slayer] members around him were no different.
A beautiful figure simultaneously appeared in their minds. She had also faced the demonic tide alone, and although she hadn't done it as easily as Luo Xiu, she had still crushed it, even turning the tide of battle when it seemed like defeat was imminent.
For a moment, everyone was completely silent.
A kilometer away, Lip's hand holding the binoculars trembled slightly:
"Is he... is he really a fifth-tier cultivator?"
Novamp, who looked like he already knew, threw away the peach pit in his hand, stood up, and clapped his hands:
"Make the arrangements: have the cleaning team set aside a squad to help our soon-to-be new commander clean up the battlefield, organize the spoils, and then deliver them to him."
……
Luo Xiu released the mermaid, who was already beyond dead, and flashed to the front of the swamp lizard that was sinking rapidly into the water. He reached out and grabbed the sharp spikes on the front of its huge head, and exerted force with both hands.
"Tear--"
A tremendous roar resounded through the sky. To everyone's horror, a giant beast the size of a small mountain was forcibly pulled from the sea by Luo Xiu. It leaped into the air like a sea dragon, but before it could take flight, Luo Xiu grabbed it with one hand and slammed it heavily onto the sea.
A deafening roar erupted, and the seawater seemed to transform into solid ground as the water lizard's entire body burst open, releasing plumes of gray-green blood mist.
Without any pause, Luo Xiu delivered a flying knee strike, and the massive body of the Water Lizard twisted like a lump of flesh, flying into the air.
The lizard struggled and roared, trying to stop Luo Xiu's next move, but after being weakened by the spell, its movements were too slow. Luo Xiu appeared above it like a phantom, and then stomped down with a high kick!
The lizard's body was trampled into a deep, bloody crater, and it plummeted to the ground. Then, to its horrified gaze, Luo Xiu reappeared before it...
……
……
This is a massacre.
Luo Xiu's move not only shocked the members of [Demon Slayer] and the Seventh Division, but also drew people from other divisions who rushed over upon hearing the news, only to be caught up in the same shocking frenzy.
Messages about this astonishing battle were sent out and quickly reached the hands of the various division commanders.
