Chapter 57: The First Gleam of Sharpness, Darkness Stirs Restlessly!

"An... Angel! And a four-winged angel!"

The Panda Patriarch's eyes flashed with utter astonishment as he pointed at the angel in the sky, stammering, "How could an angel descend upon our territory? Has the God of Light manifested?"

"The God of Light knows nothing of our existence; this is merely the result of our own self-reliance."

Looking at the angel in the sky, a trace of pride flashed in Su Mu's eyes, and he said calmly, "Keep watching, there are even greater surprises to come."

He knew that Li Mei's Reincarnation Pool had finally finished upgrading. At this moment, all the Class 3 humans were queuing up to enter the Reincarnation Pool to evolve and upgrade.

Just as Su Mu's voice fell.

With a loud boom, a demon warrior soared into the sky.

Its form was tall and twisted, its entire body wrapped in a layer of dark Qi as thick as ink. Its nose was flat and wide, resembling two black holes constantly spewing black smoke. Its limbs were thick and powerful, and its hands and feet grew sharp claws like five curved sickles, flashing with a cold light.

A pair of blood-red eyes glowed fiercely like burning karmic fire, revealing extreme cruelty and madness.

Covered in scales and armor, it bore huge and terrifying bone wings on its back, exhibiting an eerie black metallic luster and emanating a faint, evil radiance.

An evil aura hit them right in the face!

"A demon!"

The astonishment in the Panda Patriarch's eyes was ten thousand times more intense than before. His body was shrouded in a red glow as he directly burst forth with Panda Battle Aura, having already prepared for battle.

"Such a powerful aura, though it probably isn't a pure-blood demon, yet I feel it is even more terrifying than a pure-blood one." Looking at the demon in the sky, Moses wore a solemn expression as he gave his evaluation.

"The angel just now wasn't of pure angelic bloodline either, but it seems even more formidable than a true angel."

The Flame Fiend also wore a solemn face, slowly drawing his side sword, ready to charge into the sky and wipe out these two intruders.

"Calm yourselves!" Compared to the shock of his subordinates, Su Mu appeared much calmer, smiling as he explained, "They are our own people, created by some super powerful entity to guard our territory for us."

Hiss!

The Panda Patriarch and the two demon knights simultaneously gasped sharply.

A terrifying entity capable of creating both angels and demons—wasn't that even more powerful than a Great Demon King?

No wonder the Lord could remain so composed and chat merrily in the face of powerful dark creatures; the Lord's foundation was truly unimaginably strong.

"Ourski," the Panda Patriarch used a word of the Dark Tongue to express his amazement.

"Ourski," the two demon knights exclaimed together as well.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Angels and demons that had completed their purification continuously soared into the sky.

1, 2, 3...

In the end, a full ten thousand angels and demons flew out from the Reincarnation Pool.

They stood densely packed across the entire sky, their wings outspread, blotting out the sun, their powerful aura shrouding the earth.

All living creatures within the territory trembled under this aura, feeling as though those terrifying warriors in the sky could reduce them to powder with a casual strike.

Sacred light and black flames intertwined with one another, painting the sky into a magnificent scene, as if the end of the world were about to arrive the very next second.

"How terrifying! This tiny human lord actually possesses such terrifying combat units."

"No, this matter must be reported immediately to Queen Bloody Mary."

Two little vampires responsible for monitoring the territory witnessed this scene and were so shocked they nearly fell straight out of the sky.

It was hard to imagine that a human lord who had arrived here for less than ten days actually commanded such a terrifying army.

Could this person be the biological son of the humans' thirteenth-tier God King?

The two little vampires frantically flapped their wings and hurried away toward Bloody Mary's castle, soon vanishing into the pitch-darkness.

Boom, boom, boom!

As these angels and demons flew up into the sky together, all the dark creatures simultaneously looked up.

Hiss, hiss, hiss! The dark lizards incessantly flicked their fiery long tongues, hissing towards the sky in provocation.

This was the world of dark creatures; how could a human be allowed to act so audaciously?

Furthermore, the Dark Tide was approaching, and humanity was on the verge of extinction. Who gave this human the audacity to commit such a disrespectful act?

A hundred-meter-tall Treant also abruptly opened its eyes, emitting a rumbling roar from its mouth. Its pronunciation was indistinct, but listening closely, one could still tell it was speaking the human language.

Just two simple words: "Let's battle!"

Dark Elf Mage: "Hmph, weak humans do not know what power is, thinking that possessing a rabble army allows them to contend with the dark world. Courting death."

More dark warriors heavily struck their breastplates; they thirsted for blood and slaughter, itching to rush forward right now and tear that courting-death human to pieces, burning his territory to scorched earth along with him.

Sky-high killing intent permeated the darkness, and Su Mu's territory was tightly enveloped by this boundless murderous aura.

...

Vampire Castle.

Queen Bloody Mary was still seated in the luxuriously ornate hall, leisurely savoring fine wine brewed from the blood of powerful human warriors while listening to reports from her subordinates.

Upon hearing that the brat named Su Mu had actually assembled a mixed squad of angels and demons, Bloody Mary revealed a look of interest.

"Sion, open the crystal ball and let me see the situation over there," Bloody Mary said to her guard, Sion.

Sion nodded, took out a crystal ball from a mysterious box, and chanted a few incantations.

The crystal ball bloomed with light, and an image appeared before Bloody Mary, displaying precisely the scene inside Su Mu's territory.

Countless angels and demons soared into the sky, presenting a scene of jubilation within Su Mu's territory.

When she saw those angels and demons, a look of joyful surprise—like spotting prey—flashed in Bloody Mary's eyes. She stuck out her tongue to lick her red lips and murmured, "What a powerful bloodline, what beautiful blood! A top-tier Bloody Mary cocktail is beckoning to me."

Bloody Mary closed her eyes and took a deep breath, as if she could already smell the mellow fragrance of the fine wine.

"Sion, mobilize the army and set out. I must arrive at the scene as soon as possible; I can't wait to hunt these lovely creatures to brew wine for myself."

After a moment, Bloody Mary abruptly opened her eyes and coldly issued a command.

"Understood, Your Majesty. I shall order the troops to set out right away."

Sion was about to leave when he was called back by Bloody Mary, who instructed: "Go give word to Zhan Ge and tell his forces to reach that place as quickly as possible. In this war, his troops will take the vanguard."

"If he has any objections, tell him I will drain him dry of blood and brew him into a glass of red wine."

"Go."

"Poor Gordon," Sion mourned for Gordon for a few seconds before carrying out Bloody Mary's orders.

luego, Bloody Mary rose, transforming into a dark whirlwind as she charged directly toward Su Mu's territory. She simply could not wait to go hunting.

As for her army, Sion was in charge of dispatching them; what could possibly go wrong?

...

Dark Church, the intense and emotional piano music inside the church also came to an abrupt halt.

Saint Hero had likewise learned from a dark priest about the events that had transpired in Su Mu's territory.

There wasn't much expression on Saint Hero's face either; he merely muttered a sentence: "Foolish human, daring to bare his fangs at Queen Catherine—he is merely accelerating his own death."

"Prepare the troops. We set out in twenty minutes."

Having issued the command, Saint Hero sat back down by the piano and began to play once more, though this time the piece was gentle and warm, revealing a hint of hope.

A trace of a smile appeared on Saint Hero's face as well. He thought to himself that once this war ended, he would be transferred back to the Queen's side to serve as a guard, which would fulfill his long-held wish.

As for the human lord named Su Mu and his ragtag legion, Saint Hero hadn't taken them to heart at all. An ant might struggle, but it could never alter its own destiny!

Bang!

Saint Hero's finger struck fiercely against a black piano key.

Twenty minutes later, countless dark knights, dark clerics, and dark nuns, led by Saint Hero, marched majestically toward Su Mu's territory.

Saint Hero's eyes bloomed with a terrifying red glow. The heart for slaughter had awakened, and the entire dark world would once again hear the name of Saint Hero.

With the blood of humans, bloom the glory of the Empress!
