Chapter 236: Chapter236-Marching to War
Zone 5, Overlord’s main city.
The massive Kingdom War passage shimmered with a blue glow.
A vast army of players stood in formation, their armor gleaming coldly beneath the sky.
John stood at the very front of the ranks, his figure tall and steady.
"Trample two zones in one march. We move with the tide."
His brief declaration fell.
In the next instant, a thunderous roar erupted across the battlefield.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The surging battle cries shook the clouds above.
When the chanting finally ceased, the various battle regiments and commanders advanced according to the routes assigned beforehand.
One after another, they stepped into the passage, splitting their forces toward the two great battlefields of Zone 1 and Zone 2.
...
Zone 2, Death Guild’s main city.
The entire main city had long since been swallowed by a thick black fog.
The human architecture of the past was now covered in dark purple demonic runes, and the air was filled with the pungent stench of sulfur.
At the center of the square, a gigantic blood-red magic array rotated endlessly, radiating an ominous glow.
Several demon race warlocks in black robes stood around it, their faces hidden beneath their hoods as they chanted obscure incantations in low voices.
The human players who originally belonged to Zone 2 stepped into the magic array one after another.
Streams of black light coiled around their bodies, surging through their flesh, blood, and physique.
Under the baptism of demonic power, their forms began to undergo a drastic transformation.
When the glow of the magic array finally faded, all of them had completed the conversion.
They had completely fallen and become demon race players.
The crowd could not wait to open their character panels.
When they saw their Attack, Defense, and HP multiply several times over, their faces filled with wild delight.
The tiny trace of guilt they had felt from betraying the human race vanished like foam in an instant.
Before the temptation of absolute power, so-called racial loyalty had long since been thrown beyond the clouds.
At the front of the crowd, the transformation of Zone 2’s guild leader, Anya, was the most eye-catching.
She had fully transformed into a high-ranking succubus.
Her slender and graceful figure was captivating, with exquisite curves outlined beneath a thin black veil woven with demonic patterns.
A pair of translucent bat-like wings gently flapped behind her. Her crimson eyes were soul-stirring, and wisps of Demonic Aura lingered around her long, elegant fingertips.
[Anya — Succubus Form]
[HP]: 120 billion
[Attack]: 31 million
[Defense]: 22 million
[Skills]: Charming Whisper, Hellfire Impact, Shadow Doppelganger
Feeling the immense power surging through her body, Anya raised the corners of her lips in an arrogant smile.
She looked down at the countless demon race players below, then glanced at the endless abyssal demon tide gathering outside the city. Confidence filled her heart.
Joining the demon race had been the most correct decision she had ever made.
With the demon race bloodline and this vast demonic army, even the powerful Zone 5 would not be able to gain the slightest advantage in Zone 2.
"John? Today, I’ll make sure you never leave this place alive."
Anya muttered coldly. The Demonic Aura around her grew even more violent.
But at that very moment, the entire world trembled violently.
Several enormous spatial rifts tore open in midair.
The Kingdom War passages connecting the two zones were fully formed.
Golden light and the gleam of armor intertwined as John descended with Zone 5’s main battle regiments.
Dense waves of players poured out like a tide, instantly occupying half of the sky above the main city.
Anya’s pupils contracted.
Then she immediately shouted in a sharp voice, "All troops, attack! Wipe out every last invader!"
The moment the command was given, the demon tide outside the city and the demon race players within the city roared at the same time.
Like a mountain flood and a raging tsunami, they charged toward Zone 5’s forces.
Hellfire, shadow arrows, and corrosive venom blanketed the sky. Countless demon race skills interwove into a deadly net.
In Anya’s eyes, such a formation was enough to crush any enemy who dared invade.
Yet in the very next second, the situation was completely overturned.
The Forbidden Mage Regiment led by Evelyn struck first.
Countless ice spears and bolts of thunder crashed down from the heavens.
Boros’s Void Archer Corps unleashed a volley of arrows, every single shaft wrapped in demon-breaking power.
With just one exchange, the ferocious demon tide seemed to slam into an unbreakable wall.
The demon race soldiers in the front rows turned into black smoke in massive numbers, and their charging formation collapsed in an instant.
Tens of thousands of demons were routed in the blink of an eye.
The smug expression on Anya’s face froze.
In its place was disbelief and shock.
She never would have imagined that the army she relied on so heavily would fail to withstand even a single round of the enemy’s assault.
Rage and humiliation surged through her at once.
With a sharp cry, her body transformed into a seductive blur.
The demonic wings behind her beat rapidly, and thick Hellfire wrapped around her as she charged straight toward the Zone 5 player formation.
"You mere juniors from Zone 5 dare act so arrogantly in my Zone 2?"
At her fingertips, an extremely scorching mass of Hellfire condensed and blasted fiercely toward the crowd.
But just as the Hellfire was about to strike the front-line players, a figure suddenly appeared before it.
John stood there with his hands behind his back, his robe fluttering lightly in the wind.
He did not even raise his hand.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the Hellfire smashed into the invisible barrier surrounding him.
Ripples spread outward, but the attack failed to shake him in the slightest.
Anya’s full-power strike had been completely blocked.
Her heart trembled violently.
She immediately activated her demonic power again, unleashing several killing moves in succession.
Charm, doppelgangers, and Hellfire descended one after another.
Yet every single attack that landed on John sank like a stone into the sea.
They could not even break through his defense.
"How is this possible?"
Anya cried out in horror, fear filling her eyes.
The gap between them was so vast that it drove her into despair.
"Noisy."
John calmly spat out a single word and casually waved his hand.
An invisible force tore through the air and struck Anya with perfect precision.
Pfft—
Before Anya could even scream, her body suddenly disintegrated, turning into a dazzling beam of white light before vanishing completely.
"What a bunch of worthless rabble. Did you really think joining the demon race would make you invincible?"
John’s cold voice echoed over the entire main city.
Before his words had fully faded, his figure flickered. Like a ghost, he plunged into the remaining demon tide below.
Death Dragon Flame burst from his eyes, and golden fire swept in every direction.
He moved through the demon race army like a reaper.
With every raised hand and every step forward, massive numbers of demons were reduced to ash.
Dense kill notifications rang out without end. Demonic Aura and black smoke continued to rise into the sky.
The once arrogant and domineering demon race players of Zone 2 were now nothing more than lambs waiting to be slaughtered, utterly incapable of resisting.
The entire main city of Death Guild had become John’s hunting ground.
The scene shifted once more.
Far away, the battlefield in Zone 1 was also engulfed in flames of war.
Alan led the Order Warrior Regiment at the vanguard.
Thousands of heavily armored warriors formed an unshakable shield wall, advancing forward step by step.
The players of Zone 1 who had defected to the demon race fought desperately alongside the demon tide pouring out of the abyss.
However, the highest-level demon race players among them were only around Level 200.
Even with the demon race bloodline enhancing their attributes, they were still no match for Zone 5’s battle regiments, whose members were all above Level 250, well-equipped, and perfectly coordinated.
The crisp clash of steel, the roaring explosions of magic, and the screams of the demon race intertwined across the battlefield.
Zone 5’s army advanced with unstoppable momentum, crushing everything in its path.
Zone 1’s defensive lines collapsed one after another. In just a short time, most of the demon tide outside the city had been slaughtered.
The remaining demon race players retreated into the main city, trembling in fear.
They never could have imagined that even after reincarnating as demon race players, they would still be beaten like dogs by the players of Zone 5.
