Episode 14 – The Devil Chapter 20 – Cannon Fodder

A pink mist filled the air above Moon Lake.

In the midst of this thick mist, Linley’s group of them unanimously released their God’s Domain, discarding all the pink mist around them. The range of a God-level powerhouse’s God’s Domain wasn’t that large, but thousands of powerhouses cast it at the same time.

Instantly, not a single trace of mist existed in the large area above the castle.

“People are dying without even entering the castle.”

Linley said in the bottom of his heart, just now, that pink mist had emanated, and there were quite a few people whose mental energy had been tainted by this poisonous mist, especially those who already had an extremely strong desire to kill, but they had instantly gone berserk.

In this twinkling of an eye, there were nearly ten dead Mediate Gods.

“This mist is really powerful.”

Bebe sighed in admiration, “Luckily, I didn’t release my divine sense just now.”

Delia, however, said, “I heard the sounds of killing just now, so my divine sense was released, wanting to see what was going on, but of course, when I heard that reminder, I instantly retracted it again.”

Linley couldn’t help but turn his head towards Delia, “Delia, are you alright?”

Linley had a moment of hindsight.

“Do you see me wanting to be okay?”

Delia laughed.

“I just felt a hint of annoyance and slightly murderous intent just now. It’s still within control.”

Delia explained.

Linley suddenly frowned and turned his head towards the side, where two Mediate Gods were talking. “Aksu, we’re in trouble this time. An upper divine master who cultivates the Rule of Death refines a poisonous mist. That is very expensive. This Moon Lake Castle master, he even used it so casually. There’s also that magic array …… from before that shows at least one thing, this castle owner is very rich.”

“Right. This poisonous mist that induces the killing heart isn’t powerful yet. I once saw someone selling a kind of it in the Black Sand Castle in Emperor Wing City, as long as the spirit power is stained. It could even lead to the spontaneous combustion and collapse of the soul, but that price was also sky-high.”

The nearly one thousand Mediate Gods who had participated in the examination were talking, and they were all suspended in mid-air, waiting for those twenty or so demons to make a decision.

Without the demons to deal with the castle master and the black-clothed guards, they wouldn’t dare rush in.

Everyone, including Linley, understood. The master of this Moon Lake Castle, I’m afraid that what he’s shown so far is only a tiny bit of his methods. The real masterstroke hadn’t even come out yet. How could Linley and the rest of these Medium Gods dare to go in and send themselves to their deaths? How could they dare to go in and send themselves to their deaths?

The bottom floor of Moon Lake Castle. Inside that wide hall.

The butler in purple garb stood to the side, while a black-haired old man with eyebrows lowered to his chest was sipping a fine wine as he blandly said, “Bellom, has the situation outside been scoped out clearly?”

“My lord, the ones at the head outside are a group of demons.”

That purple-clothed butler frowned, “My lord, the situation seems to be a bit bad, I’m afraid that there are some people. Deliberately issued a mission to attack us at the Demon Castle.”

Anyone would feel trouble when a demon made an appearance.

This castle master was no different.

“Eh?”

The black-haired old man’s eyebrows twisted up as he pondered for a moment.

“No matter what else, anyone who enters the interior of the castle, kill them all!”

The black-haired old man said in a low voice, “All the golden-clothed guards, uniformly, you go and make arrangements, as well as distributing all the God Slaying Vectors and so on. Surprisingly, someone is deliberately dealing with me? When this is over, be sure to investigate.”

“Yes, my lord!”

The purple-clothed butler bowed.

In the sky above the Moon Castle, a group of people hovering on the ground, led by Loisius and the others were also troubled.

Loisius was very clear. If one had enough money and power, one could definitely purchase many forbidden items in the Black Sand Castle, and could completely set up a castle as a place of death, and even he would not dare to trespass.

“There’s no other way.”

Loisius sank his face. Looking at the surrounding demons.

A group of demons looked at each other.

It wasn’t like they hadn’t faced this kind of situation before. They all knew what to do at this moment —- to let those who participated in the Demon Examination. Be the cannon fodder! Let them break into the castle in front!

“Brush!”

“Brush!” ……

More than twenty demons soared above Linley’s large group of them in almost simultaneous figures, while a voice rang out, “At this moment, this poisonous fog is pervasive, and this castle is impenetrable, so we can only enter the interior of the castle! Now, you nearly 1,000 people will be divided into ten teams, and in turn, you will enter the interior of the castle through the various windows and passages. We demons will split into ten squads and follow you. You guys will take care of the ordinary gold-clothed guards, and if you encounter black-clothed guards, we demons will take action ourselves!”

As soon as this voice came out, the faces of the nearly a thousand Mediate Gods who wanted to participate in the examination changed.

“Bastard, making us cannon fodder!”

Linley cursed in his heart.

Everyone instantly understood. But Linley and the others didn’t dare to resist …… because they all knew how amazing the strength of a powerful Superior God could be.

Perhaps, if a Refined Godhead Earth God like Crompton were to refine the Godhead, a group of Mediate Gods might join forces to hang them.

However, a five-star demon such as Loisius was different.

Being able to become a five-star demon meant that he must have fused the Law Arcana. It wouldn’t be difficult for a five-star demon to slaughter a thousand of them. Not to mention, there were three five-star demons! There were also a bunch of four-star demons! They were simply unable to resist.

“You people are a pair.”

Immediately, some demons started assigning them.

However, the Mediate Gods were unresponsive.

“Hurry up, could it be, do you guys want to die now?”

A cold voice rang out, and in the end, the Mediate Gods looked at each other and could only agree.

There was no choice!

“It’s simply impossible for the Mediate Gods to join forces and hang themselves.”

Linley glanced at Moon Lake Castle, “None of the corridors within the castle are too wide, at most two or three people running parallel. Hundreds of people going in would simply be unable to attack the upper level gods behind them at the same time.”

With no hope of resistance, all the Mediate Gods could only choose to obey.

After all, the demons weren’t trying to kill them, they were just letting them go in first. There was still hope for them to live.

“Hey, we’re in charge of this group.”

That Crompton even shouted.

Usually two demons or three demons. Responsible for following behind a group of a hundred.

“Haha, Crompton you guy.”

Instantly, someone laughed, they all knew that Crompton had chosen to be in charge of supervising this team because of Linley’s trio. Linley and the three of them were in this team.

The castle gates were closed, and could not be opened with force.

The ten hundred-man team could only enter through one of the windows above, and Linley and the three of them were mixed in with the team, scurrying through the windows and into the rooms. And then began to carefully search for the enemy along the corridor.

“This pink mist fills the entire castle, it’s impossible to see what’s in front of us. If you’re not careful, you might get hit.”

Linley carefully held Delia’s hand. Together with Bebe, they walked at the front of the group.

Linley didn’t dare to lean back. Behind him was Crompton and a few others.

There was no mist in front of Linley, because all the Earth Medium Gods had cast on their God’s Domain, which was enough to keep the pink mist from surrounding their bodies. However,…… in front of the group, which was outside the range of the Domain of God, was endless pink mist.

Everyone was careful and slowly advanced.

“Boss, how do you think those poisonous fog things got out?”

Bei Bei and Linley’s divine senses transmitted their voices, there was no poisonous fog around their bodies naturally they could transmit their voices with their divine senses. “Surprisingly, it has a direct effect on the soul, just now I heard someone else say that there are even more terrifying poisonous fogs that can cause the soul to spontaneously combust and collapse.”

“Who knows? But in the Yulan Continent, I fell for that great sorcerer’s ground trick. By the way, you didn’t see that kind of God Slaughtering Vector in the Purple Bauhinia Castle. The God Slaughtering Vector is what’s so powerful when it’s tainted with venom.”

Linley’s divine sense transmitted his voice. “And I’ve heard that many even more terrifying ones are only sold in the Black Sand Castle.”

Bebe bristled, “I don’t know what else is in this castle.”

“Linley. I always have a bad feeling.”

Delia’s divine sense transmitted, “Be careful, don’t try to be brave. In this hell. Many attacks we’ve never seen before. Have you ever seen a poisonous mist like the one that can trigger the killing intent of the soul? Be careful.”

Looking at Delia’s concerned eyes, Linley couldn’t help but feel a warm current well up in his heart.

“Hurry up in front, you’re going too slow!”

Crompton’s bellowing voice rang out from behind.

Linley’s group of Mediate Gods were all a little dissatisfied in their hearts, but they all didn’t dare to say anything. The castle had several floors, and Linley didn’t find a single person even after they searched the corridors on the topmost first floor. Then they followed the stairs to the second level below. The scope of this second floor was obviously much larger than the first, and the layout was also much more complicated.

“How bizarre!”

All the Mediate Gods felt oppressed.

No matter where they walked. In front of them would be a large amount of pink smoke filling the area. This made Linley and the others feel that the front was always unknown. It was also exhausting to be mentally tense at all times.

“Phew—-” a steep wind-scraping sound rang out.

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

“Puff!” ……

Linley hadn’t reacted yet, but an arrow had instantly shot in front of him from the gap between the people in front of him, and the speed was just too fast for Linley to dodge.

“Poof!”

The arrow shot onto Linley’s earth-colored robe.

This robe, however, was a pulsating armor formed by combining two great arcane mysteries, and the arrow hardy didn’t penetrate Linley’s earth-colored robe.

However, in front of Linley, more than twenty people had fallen to the ground, their bodies similarly penetrated by arrows, they no longer had any breath, and because of their deaths, a large amount of pink mist immediately filled the distance.

“All dead?”

Linley was stunned for a moment.

There had originally been over thirty people in front of Linley, and surprisingly, most of them were dead.

The arrows were actually very dense, and they had suddenly shot over from the end of the corridor. Any Mediate Deity that had been shot at had almost all died, with only two not dying. One was Linley, and there was another one who had been shot in the body, but still resisted. Clearly the soul defense was good.

“Whew!”

Many of the surviving Mediate Gods in front of Linley unexpectedly all immediately used their spatial rings and collected all the corpses. One had to know that there could be a godhood and a spatial ring on that corpse. There was a large amount of wealth within that spatial ring.

“Boss, you’re reacting too slowly.”

Linley was momentarily stunned before all the corpses were collected, and Bebe reacted quickly to collect two corpses.

“Linley, are you alright.”

Delia even looked towards Linley.

“Boss what could he be doing?”

Bebe playfully laughed, “Boss’s soul defense, as well as his body surface defense are all very strong.”

Actually, Bebe was worried about Linley as well, it was just that he was connected to Linley’s soul, so Bebe would naturally know if Linley had problems.

“Retreat, retreat!”

A Mediate God in front immediately shouted.

Crompton in the back roared, “Keep going, what are you afraid of, keep going!”

The Mediate Gods in the front couldn’t help but feel annoyed, cursing in their hearts, “The place of death isn’t you, of course you’re not afraid?”

However, those who dared to come to the Demon Examination ground naturally had the guts and wouldn’t back down just because of that, only that one by one they became more cautious.

“Delia, you’re behind me.”

Linley said, after the sudden saving of arrows just now, Linley had already sort of reached the front of the group. There were only a few people left in front of him as well. Especially since these people had all gone through the danger just now, they naturally advanced more slowly.

Crompton, however, was walking easily behind him, coldly grunting in his heart, ”I didn’t expect that this time, you didn’t die. But it will be your turn next time.”

Crompton was looking forward to watching Linley die. Onward.”

Ten warriors in golden robes quietly walked through the dark passages within the castle, all of them with moon shaped spatial rings in their fingers.

“Hmph, a batch of people died and still continue to advance, what a bold one, wait until the next pass, we’ll give him another go and get dozens of them dead before we say anything.”

“It’s pretty easy to kill people like this.”

“Normally, can we use the God Slaughtering Vector this recklessly, this thing, it’s expensive.”

These gold-clad guards quickly arrived at the next pass.

Linley and his group, on the other hand, cautiously continued on their way, but were blissfully unaware that immediately, another group of them were going to lose their lives.
