Chapter 311: Lycan God Will

Given the current situation, the empire held no advantage. The imperial forces included Emperor Frelio XVI, ten top fighters, and the emperor's personal guards. The Demon King's forces consisted of the Demon King himself, Han Kexin and her demonic army from Gloom City, and the dragon and ent legions.

In terms of numbers, the imperial forces had a slight edge. However, when comparing the quality of the troops, the two sides were not even in the same league. Emperor Frelio XVI had planned to launch a surprise attack on the magitek fortress, aiming to destroy it and either kill or severely injure the Demon King. Achieving either of these objectives would have given the empire a decisive victory in this battle.

However, from what could be seen, it was almost impossible for the empire to win. Emperor Frelio XVI had underestimated the Demon King's formidable power, but he could not comprehend why the future obtained by Prophet Primo using time magic had such a significant discrepancy. For a moment, the emperor considered several possibilities: Was there an error in the prophet's predictions, or had the prophet tampered with something, or was there some other unknown variable at play?Finnd new chapters on nove/lbin(.)com

"This is impossible!" Hero Will exclaimed in disbelief. "Primo's predictions are never wrong. Where did you all come from?"

Zhang Nu remained silent, yet a burgeoning power surged from his body like raging waves and storm winds, sweeping across all directions and enveloping everyone present.

Will felt the immense strength of this force, which simultaneously fused formidable elements of time and space. The field was still dominated by Emperor Frelio's Sanctum of Valor Spirits, and the emperor had certainly locked down all categories of magical laws. Logically, magic should not have been possible in such an environment. The fact that Zhang Nu could use spells and unleash such powerful forces suggested only one possibility: he did not rely on external laws; he had mastered the principles of the power of law himself.

Such formidable temporal and spatial powers! This seemed to clarify matters. Prophet Primo possessed powerful temporal abilities, and so did the Demon King, whose powers of time were even stronger than Primo's.

If so, just as Primo could use time magic to foresee the future, why couldn't the Demon King use time magic to disrupt it? From the beginning, the Demon King might have been aware of Prophet Primo's troublesome abilities, thus he secretly assembled and hid such a formidable force, then used special means to erase any trace of their appearance. This explained why Primo could not foresee these changes. If Primo had a fuller understanding of the Demon King's strength, perhaps he would have been more cautious and careful.

However, the Demon King had always been shrouded in mystery. No one knew the extent of the Demon King's power, nor how many abilities he possessed. Under such circumstances, nasty surprises were unpreventable, which was why they found themselves in this predicament now.

"Retreat!" Emperor Frelio XVI decisively chose to withdraw.

He knew that his side's chances of winning were not great if the fight continued, but if they could retreat back to the imperial capital, relying on the geographical advantage and various preparations made earlier, they could at least ensure a mutually destructive outcome.

"You've already come all this way. Let's not leave just yet!" Han Kexin spoke up. She unleashed her domain power, and at the same time, Grootroot and the demon monarchs from Gloom City also activated their domains.

Among these demon monarchs, Han Qiuyue and Han Dongxue, were both Level 6 monarchs. The powerful domain forces from both sides clashed, ultimately causing the entire space to become chaotic. Frelio's domain quickly shrank, compressed to less than a hundred meters.

"Your Majesty, we can't retreat! We have no choice but to fight to the death!" Will remained quite composed. He said to Emperor Frelio, "The biggest threat among these folks is the Demon King. With Your Majesty's current strength and the power of the valor spirits, there is still a chance to win!"

The golden fire phoenix then returned to Han Kexin, who merged with her pet beast. The succubus wings transformed into a pair of larger and more splendid phoenix wings, while her body was covered with armor made of phoenix divine fire.

It should be noted that the Succubus Queen already possessed the strength of a Level 6 mythic. Now, merged with the power of the phoenix, not only did she gain tremendous self-healing and regenerative abilities, but her strength was also significantly enhanced, making her even stronger than usual.

The next second, Han Kexin instantly teleported in front of Will. With a flap of her wings, countless flames, like lasers, scattered across the sky, attacking the numerous mirages that quickly congregated back into one place. Roaring, Will burst out with a roar and lunged at Han Kexin, who was mid-air. Han Kexin countered with a giant claw condensed from phoenix divine fire. The two exchanged blows back and forth, each holding their own, making it hard to determine the superior fighter.

At this time, the Demon King's forces were also clashing with the imperial troops, and the emperor himself faced off directly against the Demon King, creating a tumultuous disturbance that prevented other units, regardless of their allegiance, from getting close.

After several exchanges with Han Kexin, Will, who excelled in close combat, gained a slight advantage, inflicting considerable damage on Han Kexin. However, having merged with the undying phoenix, her wounds instantly healed.

"You are not just any ordinary ranked Demon Kings!" Will said gravely. "If I'm not mistaken, this Darkness City Demon King... is Zhang Nu, the number one on the Demon King leaderboard!"

"It seems you do have some insight," Han Kexin, flapping her huge phoenix wings, responded. "Now that you know his identity, surely you don't think that an emperor, who relies on external powers, can defeat our faction's top Demon King!"

Hearing this, Will's expression turned grim. How could the number one of the Demon King's faction be easy to handle? Although Emperor Frelio was strong, it was still debatable whether he could win.

"It seems I must quickly deal with this woman and then assist the emperor in killing the Demon King or stall for time until Primo joins the battle."

Han Kexin sensed the murderous intent rising in Will. She laughed, "I might not be as strong as him, but I'm certainly not no fodder, and more than enough to deal with you."

"Know your place!" Will, convinced of his superior strength from their brief encounter, was about to unleash his full power to take down Han Kexin. However, at that moment, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

What's going on? Will then noticed that numerous fine threads, which connected to his spirit and soul, had immobilized him.

"I've never been one for head-on battles," Han Kexin said coldly. "While you were distracted just now, I had already set up and prepared. It's too late for you now, you no longer stand a chance!"
