Shen Yin Wang Zuo
chapter-510

The necklaces of spiritual protection produced bizarre waves, deflecting any psychic and mental probing, and working against abilities of this kind.

Relying on it, knights could conceal their presence very efficiently. With their quite high spiritual energy, even a demon god would surely need to concentrate their mental force in their direction to possibly detect them.

In a flip of his right hand, He Jun rapidly recovered the four Demonic Bears’ corpses in his storage device. As long as it is possible, they would do their best to deprive demons from food sources.

Looking once again at the sky, He Jun lifted up his hand, making a few gestures. The knights following him immediately showed some reaction, and noiselessly dispersed to all directions. Under the concealment of the calm night, the cold winds seemed to not affect them in the slightest.

A faint chilliness flashed through He Jun’s eyes. In a flip of his hand, a fist sized dark golden metallic ball appeared in his hands. Looking at it, his expression seemed to have become close to feverish. Lifting his head another time, he looked at the direction of the eight immense demon god pillars in the midst of the enemy camp, before hiding in the darkness.

In a tent among the demon armies.

Currently, the Demon God of Death Saminaga was still awake, and gathered with the other demon gods.

Among the eight of them came seven. Only the Berserk Demon God Ah’nan was absent. Actually, Ah’nan had vanished at the beginning of the Holy War. Only his demon god pillar was left here, by order of the Demon God Emperor.

Against this Ah’Nan, even the status of the Demon God of Death Saminaga was useless. His individual strength was enough to compete with the top five demon gods, and was at least not below Saminaga and Marbas. But he didn’t have his own clan, and only single-mindedly seeked after strength. Who would try to catch such a solitary demon god? The only things he may listen to are the orders of the Demon God Emperor, but the other demons are at most practicing targets in his eyes.

And the reason why this Ah’Nan is called Berserk demon god is actually simple. In times of battle, no matter whether his opponent is a demon or a human, he would every time fight until death, continuing until a victor comes out. Therefore, despite being a demon god as well, Saminaga was unwilling to compare notes with him. Even demon gods were thinking of Ah’Nan to be a madman, and that it was actually better when he is absent. Using Ah’Nan’s own words, his target “isn’t in the Dragon Resisting Mountain”.

Saminaga sat on the seat of commander, nearby the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor. The other five were quite below them in ranking, and naturally had to sit in lower seats, watching Saminaga attentively.

The Demon God of Death was in a quite bad mood. A grey aura was faintly visible on his body, and his eyes were narrowed, as if pondering over something. He had been remaining silent for quite a long time already.

“Fourth brother. Let’s attack tomorrow. If we don’t, the brothers under my command are going to cause trouble. They have been in shortage of food for a few days already. It won’t do if things keep going this way.”

The one speaking was Valefor. Under his command were the Demonic Bears, ranked among the top of the demons in terms of strength. Visibly, he was speaking to Saminaga as equal.

Saminaga nodded, “I didn’t expect such an accident to happen today. The humans’ morale rose to its peak, hence to keep fighting would be unfavorable to us. So we could only withdraw, but these humans are really despicable. They actually snatched our kins’ corpses. We cannot avoid a battle tomorrow. Time has come to teach them a good lesson. ”

Valefor gave out a snort, “I really don’t understand why His Highness wants us to make it a prolonged war. If the three Demon Emperor Legions were dispatched, maybe we would have broken through their ranks a long time ago. Would there then even be a need for us to be in such a deficiency of food? Humans surely have a large amount of food in storage.”

Saminaga had a strict look on his face, coldly glancing at Valefor, “If you are so confident, go tell these words to His Highness.”

Valefor became immediately speechless, shooting a fierce gaze on the five demon gods below, “Take it that I haven’t said anything just now, understood?”

What would these five dare say? Immediately nodding, they expressed their agreement.

Saminaga continued seriously, “Enough. We have to discuss tomorrow’s operation now.”

As battles are going on, we are suffering more and more damage. At this rate, there will come a day that we will be the final loser. His Highness’ order was for us to keep using up the humans’ strength. For this purpose, we must show them our overwhelming superiority tomorrow. Time has come to improve the food menu for our army. It won’t do to keep making them eat their own kins. This time, we must destroy the Knight Temple, or at least make them pay a very big price.

Valefor became exalted, “Fourth Brother, are you saying that we should mobilize the Demon Emperor Legions?”

Saminaga nodded, “Just transfer two Demon Emperor Legions. We cannot mobilize all of them. Last time, when the second Demon Emperor Legion suffered mysteriously some great damage, His Highness was furious and even punished us. The Demon Emperor Legions are our foundation. We have to do our best to prevent them from sustaining damage.”

The Demonic Bear Valefor responded, “I will be coming as well tomorrow. I really want to face off that Long Tianying. Let’s see if his Divine Throne of Order and Law can match my power. I will be leaving the other Divine Knight to you.”

Saminaga shook his head, “No, we cannot intervene. In case we participate in the battle, the area will surely turn into an irreversible state. This will develop into our final victory, which His Highness forbid us. Furthermore, don’t forget that almost the entirety of our forces are gathered here. Can you afford such a loss?”

Valefor wrinkled his brows, “In any case I’ll just listen to your arrangements. Let’s do it accordingly to your plans.”

Saminaga shot him a glance, a cold smile appearing on his face, Valefor, do you think I don’t know you? You make yourself sound just rude and impetuous, but deep inside, no one is more crafty and sinister than you?

The Demonic Bear Demon God was ranked sixth, just one step away from the five great pillars. How could he not be eager for achievements? He’s not someone who pursues only strength such as Ah’Nan.

Among these five great demon pillars, the Demon God Emperor’s position was unshakable, and he understood very clearly the terrifying power of the Moon Demon God Agares. As for the Star Demon God, there was even less need to mention it. As the demon prophet, that’s the most important aide of the Demon God Emperor. Whoever would dare to act against him would undoubtedly cause the fury of the Demon God Emperor and Moon Demon God Agares. Moreover, the strength of the Star Demon God is extremely terrifying: no one would dare say he could bear that Great Prophecy Technique. Among demons, there had been a legend long ago, saying that the Star Demon God is the only one that could threaten the existence of the Demon God Emperor.

Outside of these three unshakable ones, the Demonic Bear Demon God Valefor had only two possible targets to go up in rank. These two were either the Demon God of Death Saminaga or the Hell Demon God Marbas.

Don’t be fooled by the scene of Valefor complying to Saminaga’s words. In fact Saminaga understood very clearly that this guy could at any time become a twin-edged blade aiming at his back. The fact he didn’t appear in the battlefield was also related to the pressure coming from the Demonic Bear, who was waiting for Saminaga to make a mistake.

Therefore, Saminaga was on high guard when dealing with Valefor. The rankings of the seventy-two demon gods isn’t unmovable: as long as one’s strength suffices, a challenge can be issued at anytime. But of course, these challenges won’t use the demon god pillars.

The highest a demon god’s ranking is, the more stable will be his position, and the lower will be the odds for him to be challenged. At least the top ten demon gods have been the same for already hundreds years.

As Saminaga was looking at Vassago, secretly cursing at him, the seven demon gods felt a perturbation and all their eyes gathered in the same direction.

“Surprise attack?” Vassago had a shocked look. That’s because on the previous instant, he had clearly perceived a massive and intense burst of light element from the side of the demon camp.

The seven demon gods rushed out from the commander tent, and looked at the direction where light element could be sensed. With just a look, dozens glow of light were seen rising to the sky, glistening in the midst of the night sky. Immediately, massive balls of light fell in the midst of the demon camp.

Each of these balls of light reached one meter in diameter, and were heading down toward the same direction. After these dozens balls of light flew out, several dozens golden figures soared up, shooting back to the direction of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

“No good!” Saminaga shouted loudly, dashing madly. Given his tyrannical cultivation, a mere instant sufficed for him to cover the whole camp. But when they came out, those balls of light were already descending. Even if Saminaga was even faster to react, he had to go through the process of detection, coming out, and making a decision. And this short time was enough for the knights to ambush this demon camp.

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang…

A series of terrible sounds of explosion was followed by the violent surge of golden flames. Because those balls of light were falling down towards the same direction, they all exploded almost instantly.

Terrifying golden radiances instantly spread to the several dozens surrounding tens. Not only that, but one could clearly see that a series of golden radiance were actually rapidly overlaying, causing amplified explosion at each time. Their bright light didn’t expand further, but as the sound became louder, the golden color of the light started to change.

From its original brilliant golden, it gradually turned into an incandescent golden color, then into a scarlet golden. And finally it became a dark golden color.

In the process of this golden light’s transformation, Saminaga already reached the nucleus of the explosion. But at this time, there was nothing he could do. Or more precisely, he didn’t dare try.
