Lord of the Magical Beasts

“Hahaha, great, it’s great that you came!” Looking at Raymond and his group, then looking at the Guardian Army in the Victory Plaza and the Great Twelve-winged Angels behind him, the Pope erupted in laughter, “Originally, I had wanted to chop off your heads one by one. To think that you would invite yourselves to your deaths. Hahaha, you are all asking for death! Even without the Great Twelve-winged Angels, just the Guardian Amry in the plaza is enough to turn all of you into mincemeat!”

The fearless Pope was extremely excited. He had been extremely depressed when he had to hand over territories like the Gold Coast. However, faced with the powerful abilities of the God of Fire Raymond, he had no choice but to force himself to tolerate it. Every dog has its day. It was finally the time to show off his might. He was completely oblivious to Raymond’s expression gradually turning ice-cold, nor did he sense the obscure ripples of energy in the air. The energy was faint, nearly undetectable. Even the twelve-winged Angel Leader did not sense anything out of the ordinary.

“Pope, are you trying to say that victory belongs to the party with the most men?” Looking at the insane Pope, Yang Ling let out a calm smile.

For this mission, major factions such as the Dark Association and the Bellimore family have mobilized all of their men, gathering an elite force of over three hundred thousand men. They could teleport over at any time through the Teleportation Formation. Amongst the men were a substantial number of elites at the sage level or above. Coupled with his own Magical Beast Army, there would not be a problem uprooting the Church, much less defeat the Church’s Guardian Army in the Victory Plaza.

As long as Raymond could defeat or keep the twelve Great Twelve-winged Angels busy, the Church will definitely not be able to avert this crisis!

Laughably, the ignorant Pope was still acting with such arrogance, foolishly thinking that he had the numbers advantage!

“Hmph, we’ll have no problems bathing your Magical Beast Territory in blood with just these troops!” Looking at the smiling Yang Ling, the Pope clenched his teeth furiously.

Without Yang Ling’s assistance, there was no way that the Dark Association could have saved the sealed three head honchos of the Dark Association; Without his help, there was no way that the Dark Association could have launched such a fierce retaliation in such a short amount of time, and the Church would not have lost their territories at the southern regions. The Pope wanted to immediately lead an army to attack the Magical Beast Territory whenever he thought about Saint Peter Castle that was destroyed by Yang Ling; The Pope would become even more furious when he thought about the Gold Coast that he was forced to hand over.

“Bathe the Magical Beast Territory in blood?” Raymond let out a cold grunt and said calmly, “Originally, I had intended to give the Church a chance. Since you guys are not going to cherish the opportunity, then forget it!”

Raymond spoke as he waved his hand forcefully. The God of Swords behind him, who was dressed in a white, flowy robe, understood his intentions and whipped out his sharp longsword. In that instant, a deafening roar came from outside the Holy City, countless soldiers swarming out of the Teleportation Formation.

There were knights donning heavy golden armor and riding on muscular horses. There were gold-cloaked warriors wearing straw hats and wielding Galaxy Swords. There were elven Spellcasters who were holding magical staffs, imbuing the soldiers with blessings and acceleration spells. There were Dark Knights wearing heavy black armor, bridled with bloodlust…

The elites from the various major factions have arrived through the Teleportation Formation, heavily surrounding the majestic Holy City. Under the command of their respective leaders, they quickly launched a fierce attack.

“Enemy attack, quick, get up the city walls quickly!”

“Archers, shoot. Quick, shoot!”

…

The soldiers on the city walls shouted frantically, no one expecting the various major factions to have long finished their preparations to attack the city. No one expected that the major factions would join forces to attack the city! Caught off guard, the soldiers guarding the city could not react in time and suffered heavy casualties in the blink of an eye. The city gates looked about to fall.

“Bastard, you… you bunch of despicable people!” Looking at the fierce enemy attack, the Pope was both alarmed and furious. He ordered all of the soldiers gathered at the plaza to hurry and reinforce the city guards that had already suffered from heavy casualties. He had just been spirited a moment before. He did not expect the situation to take a downturn in the blink of an eye.

“Hehe, all of you stay, don’t try to run!”

Yang Ling waved his hand and summoned his Magical Beast Army, instructing them to surround Victory Plaza heavily and manically attack the soldiers of the Church. According to the plan they had decided on, the various major factions would be responsible for heavily surrounding the Holy City and charging in as fast as possible after destroying the city gates. The Magical Beast Army was responsible for keeping the Church’s Guardian Army who had gathered in Victory Plaza busy, as well as to receive the army of the various major factions who were attacking the city, creating a pincer attack.

“Hehehe, Death Ripple, go and die, go and die all of you!” The Corpse Wizard King cackled loudly, forcefully blowing into the Death Horn he was holding.

In that instant, a ring of Death Ripple spread outward. Wherever it passed, all of the soldiers and devotees with abilities lower than sage level trembled, seemingly sustaining a heavy attack. It felt as though their heads had been bashed in by a club, their consciousness turning hazy in an instant. The Magical Beast Army took advantage of that and tore them all into shreds.

With the improvement to his Magical Energy and Soul Energy, the Corpse Wizard King was getting more and more powerful and was now gradually able to unleash the power of the legendary Core Divine Weapon, the Death Horn! The devastation he could create in a large-scale battle was alarming. Coupled with his Corpse Explosion and Poison Explosion, along with the assistance of the Magical Beast Territory, he killed enemies one batch at a time!

“Ah, a giant python over two thousand meters long, my God, save me!”

“Magical Beasts, there are Magical Beasts everywhere. Pope, save me!”

…

Faced with powerful Magical Beasts such as the Nine-headed Snake King Hydra and Giant Ape King, faced with a swarm of low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beast and Groundhogs, all of the Church’s soldiers in the plaza who had been caught off guard suffered greatly. Not only were they unable to charge out to reinforce the city guards who had suffered heavy casualties, but they also might not even be able to protect themselves. The knights and Spellcasters were not able to fend off the torrential assault of the Magical Beasts, no matter how powerful they were! Sometimes, they only realized that they had been battling an illusion conjured by the Thousand-faced Mink after spending much effort in killing a Magical Beast!

“Pope, the city gate is about to fall, what do we do?” Seeing that the situation was dire, Wilbur, who was dressed in a black robe, turned pale. Despite his continuous prayers, the thing that he worried most had happened. In fact, the situation was even worse than he had expected!

“Hmph, what are you getting flustered for. With Sir Boykins around, the enemies are just asking for death if they charged in!” The Pope shot a vengeful look at Yang Ling, pinning his hope on the Great Twelve-winged Angels.

Even though the various major factions had launched a strong offensive, but undoubtedly, the true battle has not even begun. The battle between the Divine-level Experts will determine who would remain laughing at the end! As long as the Angel Battle Squad could kill Raymond and his group, the various major factions will become fangless tigers!

“Angel Battle Formation, go!”

The twelve-winged Angel Leader Boykins let out a violent shout, leading the team of angels into the air, quickly casting the Angel Battle Formation as they surrounded Raymond and his group. He said coldly, “Originally, our mission this time around is just to control the tunnel leading toward the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. We did not come here to judge the cultists in this dimension. However, since you are asking for death, then I shall grant you your wish!”

Whoosh…

The twelve Great Twelve-winged Angels acted in unison, casting the Angel Battle Formation as one. In that instant, a ring of blinding Holy Light enveloped Raymond, Yang Ling, and the rest of the group. It released waves of pulsing Magical Energy, each wave stronger than the last.

They had difficulty breathing. It was as if all of the air in the surroundings had been sucked dry. Their souls shook as they received waves of invisible attacks! Compared to the Angel Battle Formation used by the six-winged Angel Leader Ophilia and the rest of the Blood Angels, the power of this formation was several times stronger. Yang Ling and the rest felt an immense pressure even though the twelve-winged angels had not attacked yet!

“This is the true power of the Angel Battle Formation?”

Yang Lng took out the Battle Soul Blade decisively, activating the Soul Crystal in his brain to the full extent. He let out a ring of Crystal Mist, forming a unique armor around his body as he tried to defend against the unseen pressure of the Angel Battle Formation. At the same time, the three head honchos of the Dark Association, the God of Swords, and the rest of the group quickly huddled together, joining forces to cast a magical battier.

“Hehe, Angel Battle Formation! To think that I can witness the Angel Battle Formation of twelve-winged angels once again, so many years later!” The God of Swords, Chief Elven Priest, and the rest of the group had a grave expression, while Raymond’s expression did not change. He looked a little forlorn as if he had remembered something that happened in the past.

“There have been many people who have seen the Angel Battle Formation of twelve-winged angels, but there have been nearly none who managed to resist it!” The twelve-winged Angel Leader Boykins let out a cold laugh, full of confidence in his abilities. He believed that the other party would not be able to charge out after being trapped in the Angel Battle Formation, no matter how powerful they were.

“The Angel Battle Formation is not indestructible! Yang Ling, look closely!” Raymond let out a violent cry, his entire body turning into a ball of fire as he charged outward.

“Hmph, you’re asking for death!”

Raymond was extremely fast, but the twelve-winged Angel Leader Boykins was not slow either, rapidly lifting his heavy, sharp golden sword. However, just as he was about to layer on the strength of the rest of the Great Angels and cleave down on Raymond, an accident happened!

Raymond suddenly took out a fully-red sharp sword and hummed gently. It was not loud, but it instantly pierced into the brain of every angel like a lethal sword, bringing along a violent, destructive aura. In that instant, the twelve Great Angels were rendered unable to move as if they had been hit by a petrifying spell!

Whoosh…

A red light flashed past, and the twelve Great Angels seemed to have been hit at the same time, their foreheads being pierced through by Raymond’s lethal sword. In that instant, they felt as though a burning soldering iron had been thrust into their brain. Even their brain matter evaporated rapidly, much less their blood. Their hair, beard, eyebrows, and clothes were turned to ash, and their skin charred as cracks appeared, their bodies withering rapidly… This situation was as if someone had pinned them on a roasting rack and cooked them. It was much more terrifying than if they had been hit by a cannon!

The unparalleled Angel Battle Formation instantly scattered without even a chance to display its might!

“Ah… Fire Emblem Sword! You… You are…” The twelve-winged Angel Leader Boykins let out a loud, pitiful cry, falling from the air and rolled around on the ground as he hugged his head.

Even though he had been unable to move when he was hit by the sword, he did clearly see the blood-red emblem on the handle of Raymond’s sword, instantly recalling a terrifying legend. He had quickly guessed Raymond’s true identity. However, it was too late. His life force was depleting rapidly, his consciousness getting hazier and hazier!
