Book 12: Chapter 101

"Moist Water! Darkheart!" Outside, Firesect and the others kept attacking the huge black energy shield in front of them. Valarie, Bellina, and Lin Xiang also came to help. However, no matter how they attacked, the energy shield showed no crinkles.

"No need to waste energy. With your, no, with our current abilities, breaking through this energy shield is completely impossible. It requires light to break it. Augustine is Beelzebub's subordinate, specializing in ‘Devouring’."

"Beelzebub? Devouring?" The spirit elders and Lin Xiang wore confused expressions regarding those abilities.

"The King of Gluttony, Beelzebub, one of the seven demon kings. There's nothing it can't devour, from living beings to non-living things, from magic to light, everything."

"Devour light!?" Lin Xiang could not believe it. Weren't the demon clan supposed to be afraid of light?

"Yes, it can devour light. The only downside is that after devouring it, it'll have a stomach ache. Since Augustine is Beelzebub's subordinate, ‘Devouring’ is his specialty. He can also devour light, but only weaker light. Your current magic attacks will be absorbed by him without a doubt."

"This is impossible! Who are you, and how do you know so much?" Illusion looked at Yalide warily. Yalide neither emitted the aura of spirits, nor did she seem human.

“Deli Temple, Deli Temple, do you all know why it got its name?” The edge of Yalide’s lips were curved upwards.

“Of course, it's in honor of our great Dragon God, Yalide. That's the name given by the Great Spirit Elder. Where did you hear about it?"

"Don't worry about where I heard it. Let me tell you my name. I am... Get away!" Yalide suddenly grabbed Lin Xiang, Valarie, and Bellina and retreated to a safe distance.

The spirit elders also reacted swiftly and followed suit.

The energy shield swiftly expanded, burst open with a whoosh, and filled the air with purple poison gas.

Augustine stood within the poison gas, and not far from him, Moist Water knelt on the ground, and Darkheart was nowhere to be found.

"Hurry... everyone, run quickly! I'll buy you time." Moist Water shouted towards the direction of Firesect's group, her voice weak and feeble. Then, with trembling hands pressing against her knees as she stood up, she looked at Augustine. "The ancient demon of the clan... incredible. But, like Darkheart, I will not become your energy." As she spoke, a burst of blue light emanated from Moist Water's body.

"No! Senior Moist Water!" The eyes of Firesect and the others widened as they watched in shock.

Thus, Alvin drew his weapon and headed towards Spirit King.

Of course, the royal guards would not allow him to succeed. They fiercely killed the demon soldiers and stood in front of the Spirit King, forming a formation to stop him. Although Alvin was demonized, he could not fight so many royal guards. He took out a box, grabbed a pill, and swallowed it.

His eyes burst with red light. Like a wild beast out of control, he charged towards the troop of royal guards. The royal guards attacked his body, yet they were all ineffective.

"This is it! This is it! The energy inside me is constantly surging." Alvin killed or wounded all the guards blocking his path and rushed towards the Spirit King.

However, after walking a certain distance, Alvin suddenly stopped.

His body began to swell.

"No, no, this can't be happening! I am the city lord, my body can handle this!" He began to show expressions of pain as he screamed loudly. Then, with a bang, he exploded, leaving behind a faint mist of black blood in the air.

On the ground lay a box.

At that moment, Augustine floated over. Indiscriminate between friend and foe, as long as it was a living being, he extended his tentacles to absorb them. The first to be absorbed were the demonized spirits.

"Monster! Monster!" The soldiers in the front row were terrified when they saw that and wanted to retreat, but they could not escape from Augustine's grasp, so they were all absorbed.

Fear enveloped them! Seeing their comrades turned into corpses, and their energy sucked dry, including the royal guards, they were all terrified.

"Retreat, everyone." The Spirit King immediately ordered, and the soldiers stopped fighting, throwing off their armor and running in the opposite direction.

They could die on the battlefield, but no one could accept that kind of death.

The Spirit King remained in place, not leaving. He then picked up a spear...
