Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 177: Idol

There were eight Berserk Wolf Knights.

These Saber Demons were the elites of the tribe. Even without the Horned Wolves, they were still powerful warriors. Seeing Allen's group of four pouncing forward instead of retreating, the bone saber monsters between their arms popped out and called out to greet them.

Lucy suddenly fell behind a little, and a faint golden light of origin power rose up, forming a cross in the middle of her forehead, with wings stretched out on both sides. When the inscription appeared, Lucy suddenly stopped and raised her gun. The golden rose was activated by Origin Energy, and rose patterns appeared on the spear. When the markings pointed at the muzzle of the gun, flames flickered and a bullet was unloaded. With two entangled faint golden origin energies, it flew towards one of the Wolf Cavalry like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, the bullet entered from between his forehead and eyebrows and exited from the back of his head. He then rushed straight to the other Wolf Cavalry behind him and similarly rushed into the space between his eyebrows, but no longer broke his head. The two Wolf Cavalry members were shot dead at the same time. The fierce light in their eyes dissipated, and they still had expressions of disbelief on their faces, but both of them fell to the ground softly.

Penetrating, one of the abilities of instant killing a hunter. Increases the firing kinetic energy of a bullet, allowing it to kill multiple targets on the trajectory. With this ability, Lucy took the lead and killed two people with one shot!

Wilick and Brooey split up left and right.

The conductive lines on the Inferno Gloves lit up one by one, and William's hands trembled as he wrapped around a blue flame. The origin energy within his body circulated, and the imprint of the steel fist appeared. Immediately, a heavy artillery fist smashed towards him. After using the Inferno Gloves, the heavy artillery fist changed. The tip of the fist pulled the surrounding air, forming a high-density ball of air.

The core of the air mass was leaping with flames. The Inferno Gloves converted the origin energy into endless flames that flowed into the air mass at the tip of the fist, forming a fire core. When Wilick's heavy artillery punch landed on the previous Wolf Cavalry, the Saber Demon Knight had already raised his arm to block it. The shockwave from the explosion of the air ball shook his hands to the left and right. Then, the fire core exploded again and sprayed out the previously compressed flames from the core, sweeping towards the Saber Demon and burning him into a ball of fire.

William's fist was filled with joy, and he swung his fist at the other knights.

On the other side, Broy appeared to be much more straightforward. Holding the axe in his hands, Bloy also displayed his fanatical warrior and activated his ability to massacre. When the heavy axe lines lit up, the power of the bear was activated. Broy let out an extremely gloomy roar. The muscles in his hands tightened like steel cables, and a tremendous force erupted.

The savage massacre rose and slashed down, bringing with it a blush that resembled a multicolored light into the body of a wolf rider. The Saber Demon Knight didn't even harrumph when his entire body exploded. Blood splattered all over the ground. Broy didn't even look. He gasped for breath and his eyes were red. Like a legendary Berserker, he raised his axe and charged towards another Saber Demon.

With the magical energy weapons, Wilick and Bloy's lethality had greatly increased.

Alan pounced on a Saber Demon in the middle.

The Saber Demon's arms flicked out bone blades, spinning strangely as he sliced towards him like a saber wheel. Alan stretched out his hand and pulled out the hilt of his fangs. The fangs were like a revived beast, and the tip of the blade sliced through the air and let out a series of howls. Without stopping, he swung out a grey crescent moon and slashed into the blade wheel, causing a series of explosive cries to resound.

Sparks shot out in all directions, and the saber wheel could no longer turn. The Saber Demon was swayed by Alan's saber strike. He wanted to retreat and let his companions behind him fill in the gaps. Unexpectedly, Alan suddenly let out a long howl and closed his saber.

Origin Energy whistled, and the imprint of the prairie blade appeared on his forehead. The sharp fangs were immediately wrapped in high-temperature flames. Alan's wrist shook, and thousands of sparks immediately exploded in his arms, reflecting every corner of the Saber Demon's line of sight. The Saber Demon's eyes were filled with sparks, but how could he see Alan's figure? In the drifting sparks, where was Alan? When he was still searching for traces of the enemy, his throat suddenly turned cold. Then, something gushed out of his body.

The Saber Demon opened his eyes wide and powerlessly knelt down. A blood fountain sprayed out from his throat, but it was pierced by Fangs.

Allen dragged his saber, and thousands of sparks gathered together, turning into an orange flame that crossed space. The blade drew and slashed towards another enemy at the back.

The Saber Demon shouted out loudly as he turned around and slanted the bone blade in his right hand towards Allen's waist.

His fangs accelerated as he slashed down on his opponent's blade with the orange flame.

The Saber Demon's entire body trembled violently, and the bone blade shattered inch by inch Skyfire was stimulated by the saber Qi, like a snake wrapped around it, wrapping around the Saber Demon and roasting him into charcoal at a thousand degrees. Alan was also shaken back a few steps by Saber Demon's saber strike, and his chest felt a little stuffy. After circulating his Origin Energy a few times, he recovered. Looking at the surroundings, the other Wolf Cavalry had been ambushed by Wilick and Bloy.

Looking at the village of the tribe, all four of them were on fire. The saber witches had already been shot to death, and their corpses were lying on the ground. More than a dozen Blade Demons fled from behind, but they were stopped by Mo De's men. There was naturally a fierce battle, but it was only a matter of time before they were killed.

At this point in the battle, there was no suspense between victory and defeat. Kejess set up the team properly. Each team had a clear goal and simultaneously moved, instantly paralyzing most of the Saber Demon's counter-attack power. Kejess fought against the Saber Demon Chieftain himself, and the major finally used his ability as a housekeeper. What surprised Alan was that Coggess was actually using a knife in his left hand, and his right hand was a mechanical prosthesis that could defend against attacks by itself. With his defense, the Saber Demon Chieftain's bone blade was unable to cut through Kejess's robotic arm between three or two slashes. When attacking, he spat out a pocket-sized machine gun from his palm, firing at close range was enough to force the chief into a mess.

But the biggest threat was Coggess's left-handed saber. The lengthened Iron Eagle Blade landed in Coggess's hand. The blade light was endless, and its momentum was occasionally ferocious, sometimes exquisite, and sometimes changeable, making it hard to defend against. Coupled with the fact that Coggess had activated a certain type of lightning-attributed engraving ability, the saber shadows were filled with lightning, and the power of the saber shadows was even jumped by several levels in a row.

After fighting for a while, Coggess used his right arm to harass him, seizing an opportunity. The saber power in his left hand rose explosively, turning into a bolt of lightning that flew past the sheikh's body. The chief cried out and threw it away. Lightning shrouded his entire body. When he fell to the ground, waves of green smoke rose up. However, he was already killed by the knife. A mist of blood burst out from Kejess's shoulder, and he was injured by the Chieftain's dying counterattack.

At this point, the battle ended. This small Saber Demon Tribe had a total of 198 people killed.

It was night, and another bonfire lit up in Saber Demon's village. Curtis sat by the fire and used his knife to provoke the dead wood to make the fire brighter. The wound on his shoulder had been disinfected and bandaged, so it was basically fine. Due to Kejess' proper planning, the battle ended very quickly. Only two human soldiers died, the rest were lightly wounded, and none were seriously injured.

At this moment, the soldiers were discharging the corpses of the Saber Demons. Then, before their blood had dried up, they used sharp weapons to cut through the arteries and filled the vessels with demonic blood. Blade Demons' blood was known as bio-oil. They were the important fuel that Colonel Berry had mentioned before, and were also the main energy used by the Federation Army. Kejess' mission this time included not only removing the Saber Demon Tribe, but also bringing back the Saber Demon blood that could be extracted and refined for fuel.

After bleeding, the Saber Demon's corpses would be piled up and eventually cremated on the spot. Fighting against the Blade Demon wasn't a year and a half ago, and the Federation had already formed a rigorous procedure in this regard.

"Major, how are your injuries?"

Alan walked over to the fire and sat down.

Coggess stretched his shoulders and shook his head. "It's fine. I've been through more serious injuries than this. It's nothing."

Allen's gaze fell on his mechanical prosthesis, and Cogsroe felt it. His five mechanical fingers contracted and he said, "It was cut off by one of the generals from the Ten Tribes two years ago when they attacked the center of the blazing earth." At that time, it was a pity that we were only a little short of being able to take down the center of the blazing earth. "Oh, that's a checkpoint leading to the Saber Demon King and the Ten Tribes' Smelt Abyss."

"It's a pity that the reinforcements of the Saber Demon Tribe arrived at the battlefield first at the last moment of the battle and pulled us out of that battlefield alive. In that battle, we lost 20,000 lives!" At this point, Keoghes clenched his mechanical iron fist and made a shallow pit on the ground. "It was also in that battle that only twenty odd people survived in the end."

Coggess's expression changed a little more than usual. Alan could tell from his eyes that it was hatred that went deep into his bones.

In war, especially on battlefields like the Yordon Domain, where there was no compromise, hatred would not subside. Only when one side ran out of blood would it be possible to bury this resentment.

As for right and wrong, it was completely meaningless here.

On this battlefield, there was only the victor and the loser, only the living and the undead.

Keoghes raised his head and smiled stiffly, "Isn't this very different from how you were in Babylon?"

Alan looked at the bonfire. In the flames, it was as if he could see those familiar faces. "It's different, but Babylon is also a battlefield," he nodded. "If I had to choose between two battlefields, I would have liked it better."

"Oh, why?" Coggess looked at him in surprise.

"Because this battlefield is purer," he whispered.

Alan shrugged and said, "But I have family and friends in Babylon, so in the end, I have to go back."

Kejess smiled, "Remember to say hello to Patriarch Horn for me. Although he doesn't know me, I chose to serve on Nether Domain because of him."

Ellen looked at him in surprise. Coggess spread out his hands and said, "What, can't Patriarch Horn be my idol? I also want to cut off the head of a Saber Demon General as a merit and decoration, just like he did."

At the end of his words, a flash of fire suddenly flashed on the wasteland in front of the village, followed by an explosion from afar. A fireball could be clearly seen under the dark night, causing Alan and Coggess to be stunned.

What happened?
