Chapter 455: Might of the Magical Beasts

The battle between the Giant Apes and the Death God Puppets was extremely brutal, shaking even the earth!

The Giant Apes had the advantage when it came to brute strength, usually able to create multiple cracks on the bodies of the Death God Puppets with a single strike. The Death God Puppets were stronger in terms of resilience. As a metal creature, they could still display overwhelming battle abilities even if they had a gaping hole in their chests inflicted by the huge clubs of the Giant Apes, as long as the crystal ore in their heads were not destroyed! The Giant Apes had thick hides and were much more resilient than the average high-level Magical Beasts. However, they were still much weaker in that area compared to these metal monsters made entirely out of steel.

“Hmph, eight times the gravity!”

Witnessing the stubborn vitality of the Death God Puppets, Yang Ling let out a cold grunt, instantly casting the Energy Realm before decisively charging forward, fiercely sending a Death God Puppet flying with a punch. Within the radius of the domain, all of the Death God Puppets trembled, their bodies becoming heavy. It was hard for them to move as if they had just dropped into a swamp, allowing the Giant Apes to unleash a beating onto them. They smashed down with the five-thousand-pound obsidian club time after time, each time fiercer than the last, splitting open the heads of the Death God Puppets and crushing the crystal ores within.

The crystal ores were the source of energy for the Death God Puppets. Without the crystal ores, the puppets immediately stopped moving like a stone statue.

Roar…

With Yang Ling’s command, the Dark Dragon King and Flying Dragon King joined the fray, using their massive numbers to surround the Death God Puppets before pummeling them in unison. The Purple Rat Little Ice roamed around the area with its excellent speed, shooting out breaths of freezing chilly air, turning the Death God Puppets into ice sculptures. The Scorpion King Ymort was even more sinister, commanding his tiny scorpions to dig into the Death God Puppets through the cracks on their body before destroying the Magical Spell Formations within their bodies, severing their connection to their energy source…

The combined battle prowess of the Magical Beast Army from the land and air was extremely alarming. They drowned the several hundred Death God Puppets with their precise attacks and massive numbers!

Originally, seeing the startling battle capabilities of the Death God Puppets, Elder Brent, who had joined them on their journey, had been prepared to take action. Seeing the Death God Puppets fall one after the other under the Restrictions of Yang Ling’s Energy Realm and the Magical Beast Army’s fierce attacks, he decided instead to stand by the side and observe the situation. The recovery of his Divine Power was extremely slow. In order to deal with the true experts within the Iron Edge Castle, it was important that he conserved his energy.

“The divinity of Fabris is powerful, indeed. It looks like it won’t be too long before Yang Ling is able to advance to become a Divine-level Expert!” Seeing the alarming power of the Energy Realm fifty steps around Yang Ling, Elder Brent nodded his head with satisfaction.

Through his powerful Divine Knowledge, he could sense that even though Yang Ling had consumed Fabris’s divinity, he had only absorbed only one percent of the divinity to this day. However, that was enough! The most important thing when it comes to robbing someone of their divinity was to use their memories to understand a law, therefore avoiding any unnecessary mistakes quickly. How much of the energy he could absorb was not as important. In this regard, Yang Ling had accomplished this exceptionally well, immediately cultivating the Energy Realm and deepening his understanding of the law of power. His abilities might reach an unimaginable stage after he completely assimilates Fabris’s divinity!

“Put in more strength, bash them to death!”

“Kill them, charge!”

…

Witnessing the might of the Magical Beast Army as they rapidly got rid of the nearly ten-meter-tall Death God Puppets, each Magical Beast stronger than the last, the soldiers of the Dark Association cheered loudly, receiving a great boost in morale. They charged toward the guards of the castle under Elder Klive’s command. Within their ranks, Ashnamov led three thousand armored soldiers and charged to the very front, continuously shooting with the Pear Blossom Crossbows in their hands, launching sharp arrows coated with a lethal poison. None of the Church’s knights or Spellcasters could escape death after being shot by the arrows.

The poisons the Poison Wizard Alice was creating were getting stronger and stronger, often guaranteeing a certain death if one were to come into contact with just a little of the poison. Without the unique antidote created within the Magical Beast Territory, even a Domain Expert would not be able to dispel the poison.

“Cardinal, what do we do, what do we do?” Seeing that even the Death God Puppets were not a match for the enemy forces, seeing the alliance of the Dark Association and the Magical Beast Territory swarming over like the tide, occupying area after area, the commander of the guards was at a loss of what to do.

If the Church had not mobilized away seventy thousand of their elites, he would have had the confidence of fending off the enemy with their army of a hundred and twenty thousand strong, even if their Magical Towers and city gates were destroyed by the Magic Crystal Cannons of the enemy forces. However, at the present moment, facing off against the army of the Dark Association totaling seventy to eighty thousand men, the blanketing amount of Magical Beasts, and the heavily-armored soldiers of the Magical Beast Territory wielding crossbows, how is he going to fight them off, how could he save his soldiers who have lost their will to fight?

What do I do?

Seeing the black-haired Yang Ling pressing a Death God Puppet onto the ground and turning it into scrap metal with his bare fists, Cardinal Daniel was as shocked as he was furious, nearly vomiting blood in his depression. He did not expect the Dark Association to have gotten the leader of the Magical Beast Territory Yang Ling to help them this time around. He also did not expect that the Magical Beast Territory would not only bring along a hundred Magic Crystal Cannons but also have a Magical Beast Army that was powerful to such an extent!

Three hundred Death God Puppets was enough to topple a large empire, much less defend a castle! To think that the Death God Puppets would fall one after the other under the pummeling of Yang Ling’s Magical Beast Army!

Ancient Siva Apes wielding giant metal clubs that could level a mountain with a kick, Massive Dark Dragons that grabbed the Death God Puppets into the air like a toy before tossing them onto the ground, the speedy Purple Rat that was adept in Ice Element spells, as well as that legendary Thousand-faced Mink that is said to have cultivated the Group Illusory Magic…

To an average Summoner, owning any one of these creatures would already make them extremely powerful, to think that Yang Ling owned a large group of them! It was no wonder that he was called the leader of the Magical Beast Territory. It was no wonder that even a hundred Golden Giant Dragons were unable to act as they wished within his territory!

Daniel clenched his teeth in fury, so depressed that he almost vomited blood. If he could, he wanted desperately to charge up to the insolent Yang Ling and tear him to pieces. However, his rational side told him that that was impractical. If Yang Ling could even press the Death God Puppets into the ground and turn it into scrap metal with his bare hands, him charging forward would undoubtedly just be asking for his own death.

The castle gates have been blasted open, the Magical Towers destroyed, the soldiers running away in a fluster… It was clear that the so-called sturdiest Iron Edge Castle has fallen. It was over for them!

“Quick, head to the underground jail, quick!” After a moment’s deliberation, Daniel turned to leave, running straight for the underground jail, protected by a team of guards.

Now that the castle has fallen under siege, if there was still a safe space, it would definitely be the underground jail. There, there was the last force stationed within the castle, the Angel Army. Even though the Divine-level Church Templars had been mobilized urgently from the castle to the Stormy Seas, the battle capabilities of the Great Eight-winged Angels should last them through several hours. The crisis would naturally be resolved once the reinforcements of the Holy City arrived!

“Hehe, it’s not so easy for you to leave!” After kicking away the head of a Death God Puppet, Yang Ling raised his head and looked around, unintentionally noticing Cardinal Daniel, who was wearing a fiery red long robe and attempting to retreat under the protection of a large group of guards. He led the Dark Dragon King, Corpse Wizard King, and the rest of the group in charging over after letting out a cold smile, as fast as lightning.

Daniel was dressed fully in red. The long robe representing his status as a Red-robed Cardinal was just too eye-catching. Yang Ling knew that he would be able to find where the three head honchos of the Dark Association were as long as he captured and obtained the memories of the Red-robed Cardinal. Even though the Iron-Edge Castle was some distance away from the Holy City, it was still technically within the territory of the Church, and the reinforcements of the Church could arrive at any time. He had to end this battle and leave this place as soon as possible!

“Cardinal, you’re running away this quickly, remember to watch your step!” After teleporting to the front of Daniel and his group to block his way, Yang Ling let out a cold laugh. Under his command, the Magical Beast Army quickly surrounded them. The Magical Beasts bared their fangs, causing Daniel’s scalp to turn numb.

“Your Lordship, killing a Red-robed Cardinal and destroying the Iron Edge Castle, this will sow the seeds of hatred between your territory and the Church!” After recovering from his shock, Daniel forcefully collected himself, saying fiercely, “Are you not afraid of the merciless retaliation of the Church, not afraid of the gloried knights of the Church bathing the Magical Beast Territory in blood?”

“I’m afraid, of course, I’m afraid! However, even if I did not do this, do you think that the Church would not take action on the Magical Beast Territory?” Yang Ling took out his sharp Blood Elf Dagger and said in an icy tone, “Don’t blame me for chasing you to the ends of the world. If you have to blame something, blame how overbearing the Church is. Remember, if there is a next life, don’t become a charlatan of the Church anymore!”

After casting the Ice-sealing Domain and layering it with the Energy Realm, Yang Ling spoke as he instructed the group to begin attacking. The Dark Dragon King unleashed his Dragon Realm, diving down from the sky. He then grabbed the strongest warrior on Daniel’s side into the air and forcefully tore him in half. The Corpse Wizard King let out a loud cackle and cast the Mind Magic Field, then layered on the Corpse Poison Domain as fast as he could. The knights of the Church that were caught off guard got inflicted with the terrifying Corpse Poison, their flesh rotting rapidly, turning into mindless skeletons in the blink of an eye…

“Hmph, you’ll regret this, await the furious judgment of the Church!”

Seeing that the situation was off, Daniel quickly cast the Holy Barrier on himself, then extended his hand and took out a Teleportation Scroll from within his Space Ring. However, just as he was about to step into the Teleportation Portal and was prepared to leave quickly, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air. A sharp dagger fiercely crumbled his Holy Barrier, accurately piercing into his delicate heart.

Using his Earth Evasion Technique, Yang Ling had instantly appeared by Daniel’s side and struck his heart. After letting out a cold grunt, Yang Ling pulled back the dagger and sliced open Daniel’s throat. He pressed his hand onto Daniel’s head before he fell and silently muttered the Wizard Mantra, casting the high-level Soul Tampering Technique to tamper with his soul and obtain his memories. Soon after, he found out where the three head honchos of the Dark Association were held captive.
