Chapter 310: The Emperor's Folly



The Sky Shrouding Orb, a top-tier epic-grade item of the dark element, possessed no offensive capabilities but could release a mist that shielded all forms of perception and scanning. Such epic-grade equipment was plentiful in the arsenal of the Thunder Empire. While the Sky Shrouding Orb itself did not have direct combat effects, its ability to broadly block perception and visibility could also affect their own troops.

The primary reason the Thunder Empire deployed this item on the battlefield was to counter the Demon King’s magitek fortress. The weaponry of the magic fortress, including the tens of thousands of troops housed within, could only perform optimally when targets were accurately acquired. If the scanning and locking capabilities of the magic fortress could be blocked, then the fortress would quickly lose most of its threat. This would provide the empire’s elites with the opportunity and time needed to sabotage the fortress.

This tactic, having been validated through the prophet\'s predictions for its feasibility, was now unfolding as a vast expanse of obscuring magic mist rapidly enveloped the battlefield. In a matter of moments, the magitek fortress was swallowed by the thick mist. Everyone found themselves trapped within the dense mist, with visibility reduced to less than half a meter, and all sensory-type magic absorbed by the fog, plunging them into a situation akin to blindness.

Primo said, "This mist will last at most ten minutes before they find a way to disperse it. Whether we can destroy the fortress will be determined in this single effort."

"It\'s of no concern!" Emperor Frelio XVI, radiating light from his body, spoke in a deep voice, "Join me, lend me your strength to destroy the fortress and kill the Demon King!"

As he spoke, Emperor Frelio XVI emitted a golden glow. He shone like a small sun, instantly diving into the thick black fog before him, accompanied by a whole unit of the empire’s royal guard. This bodyguard unit was not large, totaling only about ten thousand men. However, they were second only to the Guardian Knights in terms of combat power within the Thunder Empire.

Prophet Primo added, "Will, you go help as well, try to capture the Demon King directly for us."

The Hero, Will, did not hesitate, "On it!"

According to Primo\'s estimation, destroying the fortress would not be difficult. However, killing the Demon King would not be an easy task, but this group of super-powerful allies was sure to deplete the Demon King\'s combat resources, allowing Primo to potentially take advantage of the situation.

It was not just the Hero Will, Marquis Gabrulain and four other Level 6 monarch-class top imperial fighters, along with the five sword saints from the Thunder Empire, all followed Emperor Frelio XVI under the cover of the fog, directly charging into the midst of the Demon King\'s army.

"Out of my way!" roared Emperor Frelio XVI, enveloped in a powerful aura, as he swung his crystalline greatsword fiercely at the guards of the Chaos Federation near the fortress.

At this moment, the Emperor himself possessed the strength of a Level 6 legendary. His power was comparable to any emperor at the zenith of the empire\'s history, and the weapon in his hand was of the highest epic tier, capable of unimaginable force.

With a sweep of golden light, hundreds of high-ranking units from Darkness City were instantly reduced to ashes. Although the firepower of the magitek fortress was ferocious, a concentrated attack would normally prevent someone as powerful as Emperor Frelio at this moment from easily getting close. But now, unable to lock onto targets and relying only on random attacks, they posed no threat to Emperor Frelio XVI.

"Break!" Emperor Frelio XVI raised his sword, unleashing a tsunami-like surge of sword Qi that swept away hundreds, perhaps thousands of units before blasting towards the fortress behind them. This strike, a full-force blow from a Level 6 legendary unit, could inflict significant damage on the Citadel of Eternity, potentially crippling part of its functionality if it hit.

However, just then, a figure emerged from the void. Without any visible movement, the golden tsunami-like sword Qi was all drawn into the twisted space around him, ultimately being absorbed into his body.

The Demon King raised his hand. The sword energy he had just absorbed was released from his palm, now infused with the tremendously powerful dragon thunder flame.

Boom!

Emperor Frelio managed to block the strike. However, the Emperor was forced to retreat several hundred meters. His expression changed dramatically; although he had long known the Demon King\'s strength was unfathomable, he hadn\'t expected it to be to such an extent. His full-force strike had been absorbed and compressed by the opponent, then enhanced and sent right back at him. The emperor was able to withstand it only because of his weapon, armor, various accessories, and several pieces of epic-grade equipment he wore, yet he still found himself at a disadvantage.

"You\'ve finally shown yourself!" Emperor Frelio XVI was not worried. Everything was going according to plan; he had anticipated that the Demon King would appear to block this strike for the fortress. As long as he could force him out early, it would serve his purpose.

At this moment, the other powerhouses of Darkness City, such as Long Yi, Zhang San, Li Si among the ten Dragon Kings, as well as Nancilia, Marilyn, and other forest kings like Jin Kui, were overwhelmed by the empire and its allies, including Prophet Primo. They were completely tied down and unable to come to the Demon King\'s aid.

Under such circumstances, even if the Demon King\'s strength was formidable, could he withstand the emperor, along with ten supreme warriors? It was impossible! All they needed to do was act swiftly. Before the fog dispersed, if they could eliminate the Demon King and destroy the fortress, then the outcome of the battle would be unequivocally decided.

"Sanctum of Valor Spirits!"

Emperor Frelio XVI activated his special domain, evolved after being enhanced by the spirit of the nation, instantly enveloping the Demon King within it. At the same time, Hero Will, Marquis Gabrulain, and others also unleashed their own domain powers to strengthen Emperor Frelio XVI\'s sanctum

In such a situation, even if the Demon King was stronger, he could not mount a counterattack. He was inevitably completely suppressed. Zhang Nu truly felt for the first time that someone could overpower him in terms of domain, in which his own was ineffective under the current conditions.

"Interesting!"

After being drawn into the domain, Zhang Nu saw clearly the eleven individuals before him. Emperor Frelio XVI was in the lead, with the ten other warriors being the weakest at level 6 monarch, and the strongest being a level 6 epic unit. Such a lineup was indeed formidable enough to contend with him.

Zhang Nu smiled calmly, "It seems you really came prepared!"

For the first time, Emperor Frelio XVI clearly saw the true face of the Demon King, the great menace of the Chaos Forest that had inflicted significant losses and disgrace upon the empire.

"We\'ve made thorough preparations to counter you and your forces, who will find themselves without any recourse here," said the Emperor coldly. "You are now isolated, without any chance to turn the tide. You’re at the end of your path."

Zhang Nu replied, "In my view, such grand claims shouldn\'t be made too early. They tend to backfire easily."

The Emperor burst into laughter: "It appears you know nothing of my power, nor of the strength of the empire."

"Today, you shall witness it firsthand! A power that can only be used once in centuries, not something you see every day!"

"Valor ancestors of the past!" he called out. "Heed my summons and lend me your strength!"

As Emperor Frelio\'s words fell, powerful presences began to coalesce within the special domain, eventually forming at least fifteen spirits. These were vague in form but mighty in presence, each a manifestation of an emperor\'s will and soul, each exuding an aura close to that of a level 6 monarch. This represented a terrifying force: fifteen spectral entities with the might of nearly level 6 monarchs.

Although the Demon King\'s direct combat ability was stronger than the Emperor\'s, the Emperor could still summon these ancestral spirits to assist him in battle by invoking the power of the empire’s spirit. Even without these ten elite warriors at his side, he was confident he would not lose to the Demon King. He knew that while his power was temporary, it was nearly limitless until the ancestral spirits dissipated, and he was virtually unkillable during this time.

How could the Demon King possibly win under these conditions? Moreover, with the support of supreme Hero Will and the top-tier warriors including the Five Sword Saints, they held a crushing advantage over the Demon King.

"How about now?" Emperor Frelio sneered. "Do you see the difference between us? If you kneel and surrender now, I might consider giving you a swift end."

Zhang Nu shook his head, "Just numerical superiority, nothing more. Isn\'t it just about getting help? Don\'t you think I can do the same?"

As he spoke, a spatial portal appeared behind him.

Emperor Frelio XVI\'s expression changed dramatically: "How is this possible? In my domain, how can you still summon such power!"

The power Zhang Nu displayed was similar to a domain technique, but it was actually quite different; it was a divine realm. Compared to a regular domain, a divine realm isn\'t just a simple area of effect, it\'s an independent space. Zhang Nu also had direct dominion over the laws of time and space, so no one could prevent him from opening a portal to his divine realm. If he wished to escape, it would be impossible for anyone to stop him. However, Zhang Nu didn’t open the divine realm to flee. After the Abyssal Divine Realm opened, several figures emerged from it, led by a tall female demon, radiating deadly allure. It was none other than the succubus queen, Han Kexin!

Just as Han Kexin stepped out, she commented, "Oh, such formidable domain power, seems like our enemy this time isn\'t easy to handle." She seemed unfazed by the situation.

Following her, six Gloom City demon monarchs and countless abyssal dragons who transformed into draconian forms appeared rapidly, their numbers increasing from a few to hundreds, eventually over a thousand. Additionally, numerous ent joined them, including the ent king, Grootroot. In no time, Zhang Nu\'s side was packed, though not as numerous as the emperor’s personal guards, their presence was incomparably stronger.

"What\'s going on!" Emperor Frelio XVI was stunned!

Will the Hero and Marquis Gabrulain were equally shocked. When did the Demon King have such a force? Why hadn’t this army appeared in the prophet’s projections?

Impossible! A thousand draconians, all abyssal dragons? How could there be so many abyssal dragons in the world? Moreover, there were thousands of ents, supposed to be extinct, and a dense mass of high-level demons, from demon monarchs to soldiers, each with formidable power.

Zhang Nu smiled and said, "It seems, who the victor will be is still uncertain."

The imperial side was thrown into disarray. No one expected the Demon King to have such a terrifying force hidden. This army appeared out of nowhere, never featured in the prophet’s forecasts, and the empire had made no preparations against them.

Now, the emperor, deep behind enemy lines, found his clever plan turning into a dangerous folly."
