"What does this Demon Manual state?" Han asked, curious.

"When a Ghost Appeaser is possessed by a Nightmare, they're called a Demon, right?" she asked, watching him nod. 

"But in actuality, even when possessed, the Nightmare isn't unable to exert power. Because the will of the respective Ghost Appeaser is fighting against the Nightmare's. And that gives enough time for the Imperial Meister to kill the Ghost Appeaser, destroying the Nightmare along with him," Su Daiyu said. "But, if the Nightmare manages to take control fully, it'll be called a Demon."

"This manual talks about the means to complete this possession while defeating the Nightmare." She smiled, gazing at Han, causing him to shudder as she handed it over to him. "Treat this with care and memorize all the contents first. After that, return it to me."

"I'll do that." Han sighed. "I feel bad for doing this."

"No, you're doing it for me," Su Daiyu replied. "Unless you wish for me to live as a widow for the rest of my life after your death."

"Fine, I'll do it." 



"Su Daiyu, you're lost in thought again." The Demon that created Demon City spoke. 

"Han…" Su Daiyu smiled, gazing at the Demon City from her vantage point, seeing the Yin Beasts, Nightmares, and Demons marching out. "The first of its kind, the Demon City. To think it's established in the exact place of the previous initial Daxia Empire's ruins, the hope for the survival of humanity back then. The irony of it makes me laugh."



Sirens blazed while horses neighed. Soldiers streamed through the streets of every single town and city, armors sparkly, weapons gleaming with a deathly sheen. 

The common populace that looked at the scene was full of worry. It was because they weren't fighting against other humans. This was a war for survival, against Demons. 

Hence, their victory and loss would determine the Empire's fate. 

Prices shot up while those wealthy began to stockpile resources. There was a state of unrest everywhere. And this indeed caused negative emotions to continue to increase. 

However, whenever a Nightmare Appeared, a group of people rushed towards the place, swiftly dealing with it first through their County Arms. Whether it was a Nightmare, Yin Beast, thugs, bandits, etc. 

No matter the trouble, this group rushed to solve everything, gradually calming the minds of the populace, assuring them that as long as they were there, the respective city or town would be fine. 

Police Officers!

That was their official designation. But in reality, the populace addressed them with another name: Imperial Peacekeepers.

Not only were they stronger than the regular human, but they were also faster, able to jump high and perform a variety of activities while jumping. It was all thanks to their Cloud Whale, its air currents giving them greater control over their bodies. 

Moreover, as the Cloud Whale continued to grow in size, their abilities improved. Even though it would take them at least a decade before they reached the required level to take flight, it still made them faster than everyone else.

The Air Needles of the Cloud Whale were also effective against Yin Beasts. For Nightmares, they had their County Arms to rely upon. And no matter what, the Police Officers were only stationed within the cities and towns and never drafted for war. 

So, thanks to their presence, the security of every region returned to normalcy as people returned to their usual lives, feeling safe under the protection of the Police Officers. 

Thanks to them, the internal chaos of the Empire quickly stabilized. 

As for Krune, he took charge as the commander of the Imperial Forces, leading the troops full of County Arms users. There were other commanders that led the general army, not to mention the commanders leading specialized units like the Invincible Golden Battalion, Recovery Battalion, Mobility Battalion, etc. 

The Recovery Battalion consisted of County Arms users whose abilities allowed them to treat the injured. Though they didn't have any means to regenerate lost limbs, they were still able to treat most injuries at a faster pace. 

As for the Mobility Battalion, it was a trump card that Krune boasted upon. 

Smiling, Krune gazed upwards, noticing four ships flying in the sky, with each carrying two hundred soldiers, equipped with ballista and other hard-hitting projectile weapons. The four ships slowly moved through the air, hovering thanks to the gravity inbuilt into them. 

After all, each ship was created jointly by twenty County Arms users that unleashed and maintained their respective County Arms. The only trait of their County Arms was the gravity Krune had built into them. 

That was how they hovered in the air, allowing for travel. If not a ship, they were also capable of making individual boats that were capable of carrying at least four people. 

Krune looked around, gazing at the face of nervousness of the soldiers, the anxiety prevalent in their expressions, the fear they were emitting, etc. Some were brave, some shivered, some ignored everything and dreamed of their potential valor, etc. 

Soaking up with the terrifying atmosphere, Krune sighed, muttering, "So, this is war."

It wasn't something he could experience as a cultivator, not when they had countless abilities to mask out things. 

Here, the blood, gore, the screams of dying soldiers, the stench of war, and so on would slam into one's senses. Even though the war had yet to begin, this sensation already began to pervade the battlefield. 

Currently, they had gathered at the north of the Empire's territory, along the shallow banks of the Praire River. This river formed the northern boundary of the Daxia River. Its shore spanned tens of kilometers in length, forming the largest shore in their empire and beyond. 

As for the river's depth, it was just shallow waters, only reaching the height of their knee. In its deepest parts, it reached their neck in height. As a river with shallow waters and weak currents, also forming the Empire's borders, it naturally became the battlefield. 

After all, to its north was a forest, and thirty kilometers into the forest was Demon City. So, this naturally became the battlefield. 

Standing on the southern side of the Praire River shore were the humans, nervousness amidst them. On the other hand, situated on the northern side, with their figures hulking over the human side, were the Demon army, consisting of massive creatures. 

As the representative of the side of humans, Krune took off into the air, hovering a hundred meters from the ground as he stopped atop the river's center. 

As the representative of the Demon Army, Han, the Demon that created Demon City, flapped his wings and arrived before Krune. 

The two glared at each other as the place was slowly dyed with killing intent.
