"Wha-what’s going on here?!?"

As he watched his own right hand undergo a terrifying transformation, the young officer suddenly let out a crazed shout.

Unfortunately, he had no time to consider this question. The change in his right hand was just the beginning. As the Shadow force corroded him more and more, the young officer’s entire body underwent a drastic transformation, losing all semblance of his human form and becoming a monstrous creature that made one’s sane value plummet. His entire body was covered in black scales, sharp fangs and claws tore through his armor, and a huge mouth grew from his stomach...

In that moment, the young officer, who had been handsome and dashing just moments ago, became a terrifying monster.

As he looked at his monstrous form with the remaining light in his eyes, the young officer’s heart sank.

"Why...why is this happening me...?"

Feeling extremely unwilling and afraid, the young officer’s consciousness was quickly consumed by the invading Shadow force, and he fell into an endless black abyss.

The respected young officer was no more, replaced instead by a terrifying demon.

Towards the crowd not far away, the demon suddenly let out a bloodthirsty roar.

"Roarrrrrr!!!"

"Hah?"

Everyone was stunned as they watched their commander transform into a hideous abyssal demon right before their eyes. The cheers and laughter of the nearby soldiers suddenly ceased, and everyone looked at the black demon in disbelief.

"Abyssal demon?! What’s going on with the captain?!"

However, these soldiers soon discovered to their horror that they had no chance to figure out what was happening.

Because, with the spraying of saliva and blood, the scarlet shadow force spread like a virus at an unimaginable speed across the surface of Anvika City. The young officer was just the beginning, and these shocked soldiers were also enveloped by this Shadow force. The same transformation occurred suddenly on their bodies.

"What’s going on?! Why is my body...?!"

"No, I don’t want to turn into a demon!!!"

"Help! Ancestor, save us!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!! My hand!!!..."

For a while, screams and cries echoed among the crowd.

Accompanied by these ghostly wails, one by one, the human soldiers collapsed in despair, and the brutal Abyssal demons stood up from the ground one after another. Soon, the cheers in Anvika City were replaced by cries of terror and despair. The soldiers, although they had been equipped with items to prevent infection by the Shadow force, were utterly defenseless against this corrosion of saliva.

These soldiers could only watch helplessly as they felt themselves turning into demons and waved their cruel claws and fangs at their former comrades.

The soldiers who had been infected and turned into Abyssal demons followed their instincts and began to rampage in the city! Those who were fortunate enough not to be infected had to face an even more desperate problem...that is, how to deal with the surrounding Abyssal demons?

Humans and Abyssal demons were already vastly different in terms of physical strength, and when the number of Abyssal demons exceeded that of humans, the fate that awaited the human soldiers was unspeakably tragic.

In just an instant, everything in Anvika City was turned upside down, and the entire imperial capital was swallowed by a black and red flood without hesitation, becoming a human hell. The stench of gunpowder filled the air, and blood dyed the earth red. Brains and internal organs could be seen everywhere. The vast majority of soldiers had become Abyssal demons, they hated most under the infection of the scarlet power, and were berserk with bloodlust.

Those who were fortunate enough not to be infected were soon torn to pieces by their former comrades and became a feast for these newly born Abyssal demons.

The entire inner city had become a paradise for Abyssal demons.

The powerful warriors of the allied forces, although not directly infected, had to face the siege of the Abyssal demons and were trapped in a bitter battle. Some high-ranking warriors at the sixth level, or even at the peak of level 6, also fell under the siege of the Abyssal demons, exhausted and ultimately unable to escape the fate of being torn to pieces.

Only those warriors at the seventh and eighth level were still barely holding on.

These survivors of the allied forces could never have imagined that just a minute ago, they had an absolute advantage in numbers, but a minute later, they were in such a passive position.

Everything happened too fast, like a dream...

Staring fixedly at the human hell below, Emperor Enzo’s heart was bleeding. Not to mention the people of the other factions, even those soldiers of the Red Leaf, were people he had sworn to protect. Watching his people being infected and slaughtered by the Abyssal demons, Enzo unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails even embedding themselves in his flesh.

At this moment, he regretted it. He regretted listening to the allies suggestion to fight outside Sky Prison. The Demon Temple, this demoness, could not be defeated by numerical superiority. Moreover...numerical superiority? Facing a demon that could turn their soldiers into Abyssal demons at any time, what use was numerical superiority?

But more than regret, what filled the heart of this millennial guardian was an emotion called ’anger’.

"YOU DAMN DEMON!!!!"

Staring at the black-haired girl with a wicked smile on her face, Enzo let out a furious roar.

At the same time, the giant Divine Barrir artifact that had turned into a sword was pulled out from Yumo’s chest by Enzo, and once again he imbued it with his vast energy. His aura rose steadily, and the angry Emperor Enzo slashed at Yumo’s neck with all his might! Under the enhancement of his emotional state, this strike exploded with an extremely terrifying energy!

Even the space around it trembled.

Due to the restraint of the Heavenly Chain by the four Holy Envoys, Yumo was still unable to move her limbs. Facing Enzo’s majestic attack, Yumo seemed to have no choice but to face it head-on. However, the girl still maintained her calm and slightly joking expression.

Then, Yumo smiled faintly and earnestly corrected, "I’m not some devil, oh. I’m just a harmless temple~"

As she spoke, several black Shadow Annihilation beams suddenly fired from the sky, attacking Enzo!

"Huh?!

Noticing the attack coming, Enzo swiftly swung his sword and cut the crimson beams into energy particles with a single slash. But just as Enzo broke through the attack, a monster with a white bone shell and flapping wings swooped down under Yumo’s command, crashing into Enzo with great force.

This millennial guardian would not let it go, of course.

And just as he was about to slay this seventh level Abyssal demon and launch another attack on Yumo, Enzo’s eyes suddenly narrowed. For he discovered...this demon that pounced on him actually emitted a familiar aura?! Not only that, but this three-headed demon, each of its heads had a face he was familiar with?!

"Anrobu?! Andoni?! Anmoer?!!"

That’s right, the three heads of this monster belonged to the three captains of the Royal Griffin Knights. And these three captains were all members of the Red Leaf Empire’s royal family...they were also Emperor Enzo’s descendants...and were children he had taught in the Dragon Palace long ago.

Seeing his descendants infected by the Shadow force and turning into such monstrous creatures, Enzo could no longer control his emotions and roared hysterically at Yumo, "Bloody Butterfly!!! I won’t let you get away with this!!!!"

Just as Enzo roared, the three heads of the white bone Abyssal demon opened their mouths and fired three Annihilation beams at Emperor Enzo at zero distance.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the sky above was filled with a deep white fire tomb, mercilessly swallowing Emperor Enzo within it.

Seeing this, Yumo added with great pleasure, "Hehe~, of course, I don’t plan on letting you go~"

As she spoke, thousands of heads of Abyssal demons that had been transformed from the original members of the Griffin Knights suddenly opened their fierce blood basin mouths in the sky above!!! Countless Shadow Annihilation beams roared towards the position where Emperor Enzo was, with a majestic momentum...
