Chapter 593 An attack in the night

Imperial Palace, Leon Empire;

At around 2 in the morning, when every official is in deep sleep while the patrolling of soldiers in the palace is as strong as ever, a figure shrouded in darkness appears in the sky without being detected by anyone.

He then raised his hand, stretching it forward and conjuring a seal, "Arise my soldiers."

A giant portal glowing in scarlet appeared in the middle of the palace grounds, alerting every soldier around.

As the nearby ones rushed toward the portal, hundreds of demons flew out of the portal, spreading in all directions.

"An attack," "Quickly inform the Commander," "Kaaa..."

Screams of agony followed the scene; the demons just attacked whatever appeared in their sight and killed whoever they laid their eyes on, causing mayhem everywhere inside the palace.

However, their operation was strictly focused on the premises of the imperial palace. The demons didn't chase after anyone who left the palace gates.

A few generals and even the Grand Marshal, who were currently in the palace, were forced to exit the residence. At the same time, the princes and the Emperor were kept protected in different underground bunkers linked to various secret tunnels.

Emperor Shi was isolated from the princes and the rest of the members of the imperial family and had a general and trusted guard to protect him. Originally, this shouldn't have been done so swiftly, but as the Grand Marshal sensed the presence of several Supreme Being demons, he took control of the palace and made the arrangements.

The Grand Marshal, Shi Zhouyang, unleashed the sword of Ifrit and swung it down. Streaks of flames traveled in different directions, killing all the demon soldiers in its path. The humans in the way weren't harmed in the least.

"Grand Marshal is here." "Everyone, fight." "Kill these bas*ards"

A new enthusiasm brought in the soldiers. The ones initially running away stopped and turned around to face the demonic creatures.

The flames around the Grand Marshal's sword became more intense. He raised the sword, stretching above his head, "Die."

He was about to swing it down, but the blade didn't come down. Mephisto was seen teleporting to right above the Grand Marshal and grabbing the blade of the sword with his bare hand. The flames died out with Mephisto's demonic energy soon after.

The nearest General attempted to attack Mephisto, but the latter gave a kick to his face without even taking a look at him.

The General's face exploded, and blood splattered on the faces of nearby generals as well as the Grand Marshal.

Grabbing the blade, Mephisto flew up. The Grand Marshal didn't lose the grip on the sword and flew along, distancing himself from his subordinates and leaving them an opportunity to deal with the demons.

The Grand Marshal poured more of his ether energy into the sword, but the flames of ifrit didn't light up on the blade as it was overwhelmed by demonic energy.

He let go of one of his hands on the hilt and attacked Mephisto in the abdomen, unleashing a torrent of flames through his palm.

Mephisto's body was struck head-on at a very close range, but the demon simply tilted his head to look straight into the eyes of the old man, "Unfortunately, your power isn't enough, human. Anyway, now it is my turn." He raised his free right arm and stretched forward.

The Grand Marshal's facial expression changed.

Some of the Generals were also about to charge forward at the incoming demon captains, but then a groan escaped from the old man, forcefully grabbing their attention.

When they raised their heads, they saw their Grand Marsha's heart was taken out by Mephisto. With a heart in his right hand and the sword in his left, Mephisto looked down at the falling body of the enemy.

"Grand Marshal Shi..." "Grand Marshal is dead," "We are doomed." "Bless me, Oh Goddess Xihe" "Run away"

At once, hundreds of soldiers left their posts and started running away in fear.
