Chapter 347 The Initial Appearance of the demon god
Seraphina was also greatly frustrated. She had tried her best to avoid Evelyn and others, but her luck was just terrible. Just as she had finally found the Eternal Vine and was carefully handling its roots, intending to extract it, Evelyn and her group arrived. Seraphina thought of escaping, but how could she possibly get away?
Just as she bitterly smiled, preparing to fight to the death, William and his group arrived.
Evelyn's gaze lingered on William for a moment before she slowly looked away.
"Let's go!" Evelyn decisively said.
She knew very well that she was no match for William; otherwise, she would have killed him long ago.
"Leader! That Eternal Vine..." one of the Underworld Warriors expressed reluctance, hinting that Evelyn could contest them for it.
In their view, although Steven's swordsmanship is terrifying, they are also exceptionally strong. With so many elite Underworld Warriorsswarming together, what is there to worry about, what is there to fear?
"Retreat!" Evelyn turned around resolutely, without any discussion with her subordinates.
If it's just Steven, even if his swordsmanship is excellent, Evelyn and the others can still fight against him.
But the one Evelyn truly feared was only William!
During William's last visit to her office, just the slight aura he emitted made her feel unfathomable depths.
Even now, with her drastically increased strength, just thinking of the terrifying aura William had released instinctively made her fearful.
And William also said he was Arthur, not just some reincarnation, which was even more thought-provoking.
Evelyn, with the wisdom of two lives, wouldn't confront William directly without being absolutely sure of defeating him.
"Leader, if you're unwilling to fight for the Eternal Vine for us, then we'll fight for it ourselves!"
A young-looking Underworld Warrior signaled to others, deciding to disobey Evelyn's command.
Evelyn is not an Underworld Warrior who possesses ordinary humans through soul attachment,of course, she does not need the Eternal Vine.
Last time, backing down from "Steven" and not avenging the fallen comrades already caused dissatisfaction among some Underworld Warriors.
Now, concerning their own interests, the Underworld Warriors naturally wouldn't obey Evelyn's orders anymore.
"Yes! We control our own destiny! Leader, if you are scared, we won't blame you!" Another underworld warrior also spoke up loudly, saying, "We will first snatch back the Eternal Vine, then we will apologize to you later!"
Disobeying orders?!
They were only following Evelyn because she was a direct disciple of Hades.
Faced with such an opportunity, how could they simply give it up just because Evelyn said to leave?
There were thirty-six Underworld Warriors present, all with strength above that of an advanced Soulmancer. If they employed their secret techniques, what would being an advanced Soulmancer level matter?
Evelyn paused in her steps, squinting at the Underworld Warriors present. She simply said, "Those willing to follow me, come along! I won't bother with those who don't."
The Underworld Warriors looked at each other, and in the end, only six remained, along with a group of solitary Soulmancers subdued along the way, following Evelyn.
That left thirty Underworld Warriors.
Today, they intended not only to seize the Eternal Vine but also to avenge the two comrades who had died yesterday.
"Fat man! Come on! Let's see your knife skills again!" The first Underworld Warrior to speak waved his hand, and a curved knife appeared, its blade surrounded by swirling black mist, menacingly pointed at Steven.
Steven was momentarily stunned.
What was going on?
Why was he being targeted suddenly?
It seemed he hadn't said anything!
Most importantly, he hadn't expressed any desire for the Eternal Vine!
"Isn't there some misunderstanding here?" Steven said with a smile, "If you want the Eternal Vine, just take it. There's no need to resolve this with violence."
"Cut the crap!" The young warrior felt Steven was just putting on an act.
Last night, Steven had killed two of their comrades to protect Seraphina, and now he was playing a role again.
After the young warrior finished speaking, the Underworld Warriors behind him collectively deployed a secret technique, causing the surrounding energy to surge wildly.
In just a moment, a gigantic phantom of a demon god appeared behind the thirty Underworld Warriors.
The phantom of the demon god towered a hundred meters high, holding a dark, sinister curved knife, exuding a terrifying aura.
Evelyn hadn't gone far when she couldn't help but look back.
These Underworld Warriors were hopelessly foolish.
Creating such a terrifying phantom of a demon god, wouldn't that provoke a siege from the entire Soulmancer community?
It was highly possible that there were Demi-God level powerhouses in this area.
This was why she had refrained from letting the Underworld Warriors act yesterday.
Preserving strength and waiting for the right opportunity was the most prudent strategy.
The strength of these Underworld Warriors?has not fully recovered yet. Acting so high-profile could very likely bring about a catastrophic disaster.
It was just the Eternal Vine. If it was here, couldn't it be found elsewhere?
Why insist on a deadly confrontation here?
From a distance, Evelyn's heart raced as she watched William.
Thirty half-gods summoning a demon god through a secret technique.
With the demon god's help, they should be able to fight a Demi-God level powerhouse.
She wondered if William could handle it.
Her feelings were complex at that moment.
If William were to die under this phantom of the demon god, would it mean she had truly cut off her emotions?
Yet deep down...
She didn't want him to die!
But if even such a powerful phantom of the demon god couldn't kill William, then how powerful must William be?
Evelyn's eyes showed her conflicting emotions. At that moment, she didn't even know what she was hoping for.
Was she expecting William to turn the tables and defeat them?
Or for William to die here...
She didn't know.
Her mind was in turmoil!
The thirty Underworld Warriors summoned a demon god that roared furiously, causing a tumultuous upheaval in the air for twenty miles around. Countless giant trees collapsed thunderously as the demon god's black giant blade came crashing down.
The light in the sky twisted and distorted, as if the blade had the might to sever everything in the world.
Evelyn's heart raced to her throat, realizing she couldn't maintain her calm.
Even if William died, she might still be unable to forget her feelings for him.
The people of the 13th Bureau, faced with the demon god's blade, were petrified with fear.
Even Zoey, who could at most ensure her own escape, didn't flee foolishly. Instead, she used a move called Cosmic Palm and struck forward.
Alice also drew her sword.
William stood behind her, and even Alice didn't notice William flicking the hilt of the Sword of Soulbreaker with his finger.
A gigantic black palm print and an arcane pulse simultaneously confronted the demon god summoned by the Underworld Warriors.
The next moment, the giant blade of the demon god didn't manage to fall.
A gentle breeze blew, and the huge phantom of the demon god dissipated like grains of sand.
All the Underworld Warriors still stood in their places, but every one of them was already dead, breathless.
William seemed as if he had done nothing, looking expressionlessly ahead.
The people of the 13th Bureau hadn't yet recovered from their fear; they didn't even know how the battle had ended. n..O--V.-e.)l-/b.)1/-n
But clearly, they had won.
Evelyn gave William a deep look, turned her head, and said to those beside her, "Let's go."
