Chapter 143 – Reinforcements, A Direct Confrontation!

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"What a boring joke!"

Standing at the rear, Aloth shook his head as he looked at the bomb traps set by the humans.

"If this is all they're capable of, this world won't last ten sunrises against my Demon Realm Army!"

"Heh."

Hearing Aloth's words, the Black Robe standing beside him let out a cold laugh and pointed toward the nearby Exchange Pillar.

"Do you see that thing? Ten sunrises? With that thing around, you'd better prepare for a long-term war."

Aloth looked at the Exchange Pillar with a sullen expression, then turned to look at the Black Robe, his lips twitching involuntarily.

The Ancient Demon had naturally seen the Exchange Pillar long ago. His words just now were merely an attempt to act tough, but who would have thought he'd be ruthlessly exposed by the Black Robe beside him!

"It's that damn Ruler again! Truly an old rival!"

"Isn't it? They've struggled for so long. Wouldn't it be better if they just died quietly?"

When the two Demonic Creatures spoke of the Ruler, they both shared a deep-seated annoyance and hatred.

Throughout their long confrontation, these Demonic Creatures had come to understand the Ruler well. And very few beings feel fear toward something they understand completely!

…

When the bombs detonated, a mental ripple from One-Eye reached Wen Yu's mind.

"Boss, I'm back."

Though a bit slow, it wasn't too late!

At least, not too late for Wen Yu!

A commotion first erupted in the distant mountain forest, followed by wave after wave of roars echoing from afar!

It not only shocked the humans within the Stronghold but also slightly intimidated the Demonic Creatures still charging forward in the distance!

"Halt!"

As Aloth barked out a command in the Demon Realm Language, the chaotic, restless Black-skinned Demonic Creatures came to a messy stop!

At that moment, Wen Yu led a group of Class Holders to the entrance of the Stronghold.

Looking at the various types of the Demon Race before him, Wen Yu sighed inwardly!

In his past life, he had barely survived in front of these Demonic Creatures, living in constant fear of them.

But now, he was leading all the creatures within the Barrier's range to face these guys head-on!

And I will break you all, kill every single one of you!

Wen Yu thought to himself. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the different forms of the Demon Race before him!

Behind him, a massive dark gray figure dashed to Wen Yu's side at extreme speed!

One-Eye was back!

Accompanying One-Eye's arrival were all the Mutant Creatures from the mountains!

Like an earthquake, Mutant Creatures of all sizes charged out from the mountains directly toward the Stronghold, slowly coming to a halt!

"Wuuu wuuu…"

A faint whimpering sound came from One-Eye's back. Wen Yu looked up to see the mini-form of the Little Dragon standing on One-Eye's back, greeting him.

"All… of them."

The childish voice transmitted into Wen Yu's mind. Seeing the Little Dragon's arrogant posture, Wen Yu almost rolled his eyes!

"You're late. By, uh, several dozen minutes."

"Several dozen… how many is that?"

"Phew!"

Wen Yu shook his head with a bitter smile, then changed his tone.

"You've arrived just in time!"

"See, I told you… I would… do what I promised!"

Wen Yu gave the Little Dragon a thumbs-up but said nothing more.

However, seeing Wen Yu again clearly made the Little Dragon quite happy.

"Are these… the food… you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Wen Yu nodded.

"What do you think? They look delicious, don't they?"

"Mhm!"

The Little Dragon nodded vigorously.

"And… they… smell like… Eagle."

"Smell like Eagle?"

Wen Yu repeated the thought to himself, frowning slightly before pushing the question to the back of his mind!

Wen Yu wasn't particularly sensitive to things like scents and auras, so he naturally couldn't distinguish the details Little Dragon was talking about.

Besides, the priority right now wasn't exploring the unknown, but rather…

Greed's Touch rapidly lengthened in his hand while Wen Yu's eyes grew increasingly calm.

It was always calm before the storm!

…

A commotion broke out within the swarm of Demonic Creatures a hundred meters ahead.

The three Blue Giant Trolls standing at the very front slowly moved aside, revealing two Demonic Creatures behind them.

One was an Ancient Demon, and the other was a Black-robed Demonic Creature.

The Ancient Demon quietly sized up Wen Yu, who stood at the forefront of his own group. After a long moment, a raspy voice slowly drifted across the field.

"So, you are the Human Race?"

He spoke in Mandarin.

It seemed these members of the Demon Race had already thoroughly investigated Earth's background.

Wen Yu nodded.

"Then, what are those things behind you?"

Wen Yu looked back at the overwhelming tide of Mutant Beasts behind him, then turned back and said seriously, "Those behind me are my comrades-in-arms. You can call us Earth Creatures."

The Ancient Demon nodded. "Earth Creatures. A good name. Our scouts said that you humans are the Rulers of this planet and that your heads are filled with arrogant thoughts. I didn't expect to see such an interesting human in this minor mission."

"'Earth Creatures,' you say? This makes things much more interesting!"

"Kill! Them! All!"

Accompanied by Ancient Demon Aloth's violent roar, the army of the Demon Race moved!

"Roar!"

Seeing the Demonic Creatures approaching with Swiftness, Little Dragon, perched on One-Eye's back, let out a roar completely disproportionate to its body size.

Following the King's roar, the Mutant Creatures behind them swiftly surged past Wen Yu, launching a Charge toward the Demonic Creatures!

Like two massive tidal waves, the two sides slammed into each other on this relatively small battlefield.

In an instant, blood of various colors splattered everywhere, and roars filled the entirety of Chaihe Town.

…

The Class Holders behind Wen Yu looked at one another, staying in place, unsure of what they could do.

Judging by the current scale and state of the battle, these insignificant Class Holders were truly "useless."

"Go! The Mutant Beasts won't attack you!"

As soon as Wen Yu finished speaking, Sun Ruixing was the first to rush out. Swinging his shield, he directly crushed the head of a Black-skinned Demonic Creature.

Only then did the other Class Holders react, hesitantly making their way toward the battlefield.

It was only now, seeing the war between the Mutant Beast swarm and the Demonic Creature horde, that these Class Holders realized how laughable the strength they were so proud of truly was.

At the back of the crowd, Li Shanlin grabbed Zhang Lifei's sleeve and gave it a hard tug.

The two exchanged a glance and quietly fled toward the depths of the mountains.

Their actions were an act of desertion, but at a time like this, no one would bother with such trivial matters.

Few people noticed their small movements.

Well, except for Sun Aotian.

When Sun Aotian saw Zhang Lifei and the other man leave the battlefield, his mind raced, and he began to quietly edge toward the outskirts of the battle.

Wen Yu would not forgive such behavior, but if Wen Yu didn't see it, that was a different story.

"Besides, it's still up in the air whether you'll even survive!"

Looking at the overwhelming number of Demonic Creatures ahead, Sun Aotian felt a sense of trepidation.

"If you want to throw your lives away, I'm not staying to join you. Besides, in a fight like this, whether I'm here or not won't make much of a difference."

The complexity of human nature is something no one can truly fathom.

Even knowing that only one side-the Demonic Creatures or the Earth Creatures-could survive, there were still those who took it for granted that their own strength wouldn't help the situation, thinking that if the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up.

Few people thought further: when all the tall ones are dead, who will be the next tall one?
