Chapter 268: Chapter 176: You’re Not Good Enough, Human! The Pope is Amazing

"Holy Light Punishment o>_<o!"

Delorri muttered softly and quickly shook her head. ’I don’t want to be punished by the Holy Light!’

’Wait... what is Holy Light Punishment? Is it that Divine Radiance the Bright Church Court uses to punish Evil Demons?’

’That kind of Power is used against Demons. It shouldn’t have any effect on the Clergy, right? Or maybe...’

Just as Delorri was lost in thought, a deafening boom echoed throughout the Demon Cave.

On the battlefield where they stood, tens of thousands of members of the Demon Race had emerged from the iceberg and formed neat ranks, glaring menacingly at the few hundred Adventurers several thousand meters away.

These members of the Demon Race came in all shapes and sizes, composed mainly of Undead and Demons. But without exception, a strange, dark-red light glinted in all their eyes.

"ROAR!"

As one of the demons let out an earth-shattering cry, the rest responded in kind with deafening roars. Baring their savage faces and brandishing sharp claws, they launched a ferocious charge toward the Adventurers’ defensive line.

’Something’s not quite right...’

Rosaline took a step forward, a sharp glint in her eyes. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

But before she could pinpoint what it was, the surrounding Adventurers were already itching for a fight, desperate to plunge into battle.

"It’s finally starting!"

"I can’t wait to fight!"

"All those demons waiting for us to slaughter! My fighting spirit is fired up!"

"Enough talk! Let’s get this started!"

"If you’re all going to hesitate, I’ll go first!"

"Let’s show these demons what we’re made of!"

"Let’s do this!"

"..."

After the clamor, a group of Adventurers stepped forward, weapons in hand, ready to face the approaching demon legion.

These Adventurers were generally high-Level, with most being above Level 40. There were even over twenty high-Level Adventurers who had reached Level 50 or more. Thus, they were completely unafraid, even when facing an army of ten thousand demons.

"Kill!"

With that command, the Adventurers charged as well!

Soon, the two forces clashed like a raging flood, and the sounds of fierce battle erupted in every direction.

"Let’s get started, too!" Xu Feiyan commanded her group. "Everyone, stick to the plan. Try to spread out the battlefield and use wide-area Magic Attacks to mow down these demons."

"Understood!" they all replied in unison, immediately plunging into the intense battle.

Su Xuan immediately said to Lucia and the others, "Everyone, stick to the plan. Be careful."

"Mm!"

Lucia gave a slight nod, then said softly to Su Xuan, "You don’t need to worry while I’m here. Just focus on taking care of yourself."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine," Su Xuan replied calmly. But despite the composure in his voice, his mind was anything but peaceful.

Deep within his mind, a voice was still echoing:

’You’ll be fine? No, you won’t! Human, you are far too weak!’

’Your blood is nowhere near enough to satisfy my thirst. You must become stronger, do you understand? Only the blood of the powerful allows me to taste true delicacy, like the blood of the Mother of Demons. The blood of Gods always intoxicates me. And She... She is an unparalleled treasure. A single drop of Her blood was enough to plunge me into endless ecstasy.’

’As for you, brat, you’re still a long way off! What’s more, you’re a male, and you stink. If not for the trace of Her aura in your blood, I wouldn’t give you a second glance. But since you share Her origin, you are mine. Do you understand, brat?’

The True Vampire Ancestor’s voice echoed in Su Xuan’s mind. Her eerie laughter made him tremble uncontrollably, as if he were standing in a biting cold wind.

"..."

Su Xuan was lost in thought, stunned by the implications of the True Vampire Ancestor’s words.

’First, the Mother of Demons’ Power clearly surpasses that of a Demigod; she might even be on the same level as the Gods.’

’Second, the True Vampire Ancestor challenged the Mother of Demons, succeeded in wounding her, and tasted a drop of her blood.’

’Finally, and what confused me the most, my blood somehow carries an aura from the same origin as the Mother of Demons.’

’What on earth is going on?’

A doubt arose in his mind. ’Could it be because of the Filthy Sexual Desire Magic Power that Edith gave me? If so, doesn’t that mean there’s some connection between Edith and the Mother of Demons?’

While Su Xuan was lost in thought, the war inside the Demon Cave had erupted in full. A legion of tens of thousands of demons descended upon the Adventurers like a dark storm cloud, the thundering of hooves and savage roars weaving together into a soul-shaking cacophony.

Faced with the demons’ ferocious assault, the Adventurers did not retreat. Instead, their fighting spirit surged, their morale soaring!

"Charge! Crush them!" Under the Players’ command, several bold Adventurer Guilds surged forward, becoming the vanguard. They formed a solid triangular phalanx and charged into the demon legion with the force of a thunderbolt.

Simultaneously, another group of Adventurers launched a fierce charge from a different direction, engaging the Demon Race in a life-or-death struggle.

The battlefield became a whirlwind of flashing blades, and the din of slaughter shook the heavens as both sides descended into a chaotic melee.

Among the Adventurers, a five-to-six-meter-tall Beastman Race Warrior was particularly eye-catching. His massive frame was like an immovable mountain on the battlefield. The Giant Axe in his hands glinted coldly, and every swing carried the force of a thunderbolt, inspiring awe and fear.

And this Beastman Warrior was none other than the member of the B-Level Guild whom Shen Siqi had previously mentioned to Xu Feiyan!

"Kill!"

"Drive these demons out!"

"..."

The roars were deafening. The curtain had been raised on the battle.

In mere moments, dozens of demons had fallen to the Adventurers’ blades.

Xu Feiyan gave the order to the members of the Immortal Consort Guild. "Our turn!"

"Understood!"

Hong Lian nodded, a thirst for battle glinting in her eyes. She turned to look at Delorri and saw that she was already prepared.

Delorri stood on the battlefield, her hands pressed together, and began to softly chant a Magic Spell.

In an instant, a ring of Golden light radiated from her, tightly enveloping her entire body.

Then, a vast, Golden Magic Array appeared in the sky. It rotated slowly, emitting a brilliant light. Intricate lines wove together to form a mysterious and magnificent pattern, instantly capturing everyone’s attention.

"What is that?"

"A Magic Array from the Bright Church Court! And it’s Supreme Tier Level! There’s actually Clergy from the Bright Church Court here?"

"The Power of this Magic is immense! Everyone, get out of the Magic Array’s range, quick!"

"Damn it! How is there such a powerful Mage here?! I was hoping to rake in a ton of contribution points on this high-risk Demon Cave run!"

"Looks like an Adventurer from the Immortal Consort Guild. Only that woman’s Guild would have a Light Magic Mage of this caliber!"

Expressions of shock appeared on everyone’s faces, a mixture of awe and terror at the Divine Magic Delorri was casting.

However, before their shock could even subside, another one struck!

Another Magic Array, even larger than Delorri’s Light Magic Array, suddenly materialized in a different part of the sky. The aura of Light it emitted was several times more potent than Delorri’s!
