Chapter 576: Chapter 348: The Impossible Possibility_3

After a moment, the ghostly shadow vanished.

The dark figure revealed a cold smile, "Ha, fled to Storm Castle, have you? But your fate of death cannot be escaped, for I have grasped your weakness."

By the throne, a newly appointed Doomsday bishop curiously asked, "Great Sect Leader, what is its weakness?"

The other Doomsday bishops were sweating nervously, but perhaps because the Great Sect Leader was in a good mood, he did not blame him, and instead smiled faintly.

"Think about its name."

"Name? Devour... Big Horror Demon King?"

"Correct," said the dark figure with a faint smile. "The Devour Big Horror Demon King surely loves to devour excrement. I just need to present a piece of poisonous excrement, and as he continuously devours it, he will inevitably be poisoned to death."

The Doomsday bishop imagined the scene and shuddered, "Great Sect Leader, wouldn’t his detoxification abilities be very strong?"

The dark figure smiled faintly.

"I had anticipated this possibility, so I prepared a special gift for him. There are too many powers one can utilize in the Black Forest. After being poisoned, continuing to engage in intense battle will undoubtedly result in death for anyone."

"He is doomed! The collapse of humanity will start with his death and the fall of Storm Castle!"

"We are destined to win, hahaha!"

——

——

While Rod was deep in thought, the scene he suddenly saw almost made him vomit.

A servant approached him with crockery, lifted the silver lid, and to his horror, it contained an indescribable object.

The taste of delicacies in Rod’s mouth instantly became hard to swallow. He leaped back, shouting, "What are you doing?"

The servant exclaimed, "This is a fine delicacy prepared for your consumption..."

As he spoke, he even pushed the plate towards Rod’s face.

Rod kicked fiercely, overturning the plate, and yelled angrily, "Are you a Doomsday believer? So fond of eating shit?"

The commotion instantly attracted the attention of the entire hall, and the servant stepped back two steps, sneering, "It turns out it’s you, having seen through my scheme."

"What?" Rod was startled, "Are you really a Doomsday believer?"

The servant sneered, "What’s the use of pretending at this point? Indeed, we didn’t expect your perception to be so acute, noticing our attempt to poison your food, but no matter, your nature determines your actions. You will die, all of you will die!"

Iron Beard sensed something and shouted, "Don’t let him commit suicide!"

But the servant moved swiftly, drawing a knife to his throat.

Just when it seemed too late, his movements suddenly stopped. His hand froze mid-air, the dagger twisting and deforming into a twisted mess.

The First Elder Amendo slowly descended from the sky, "Who allowed you to die?"

The servant’s forehead bulged with veins, but he could no longer move a finger.

But the next moment, he revealed a cold smile, his body quickly beginning to rot, black necrotic patches spreading across his body in seconds, his flesh deteriorating and skin breaking apart.

Within a few seconds, he collapsed into a foul-smelling pile of highly decayed matter.

"Allen!" a female logistic personnel cried frantically as she lunged forward but was immediately grabbed by an accompanying guard.

Iron Beard commanded, "Knock her out, start the sealing process immediately!"

"No!"

Rod spoke up to stop him.

"There’s no need, she’s just an ordinary person."

"Ordinary person?" Iron Beard exclaimed. "How could an ordinary person be involved with a Doomsday believer?"

"No, Allen wasn’t a Doomsday believer!" the female logistic personnel cried inconsolably, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Iron Beard was about to speak, but the First Elder stopped him.

Amendo, disregarding the stench, came close to inspect the decayed matter, searching through it for a moment before speaking.

"He wasn’t a Doomsday believer, just a poor wretch who was targeted."

Amendo stood up, his aged face showing neither joy nor sorrow.

"Release her, treat this logistic personnel as combat fatality."

Iron Beard bowed, "Yes, First Elder, sir."

But just as they had finished cleaning up the mess, a deep long horn sounded once again throughout Storm Castle.

Everyone’s expression turned ashen.

"Enemy attack?"

Iron Beard, incredulous, said, "But the scouts reported that there would be no battles for several days!"

Amendo said indifferently, "Issue the order, enter First Level combat readiness immediately, all non-combatants must evacuate immediately!"

Storm Castle was at the outermost layer of the defense line, and a battle could break out at any time, so the castle did not descend into much chaos and soon entered a state of combat readiness.

When Amendo and Iron Beard and others arrived at the wall, their expressions grew even grimmer.

Outside the massive high wall were countless, even larger Horror Demons than before; they were as big as a mountain, their massive bodies like large clumps of black mud. Their slender, limb-like claws could no longer support the weight of their bodies, forcing them to drag themselves slowly across the ground.

"Damn it, they are Big Horror Demons!"

"How can there be so many?"

"Aren’t they supposed to be deep in the Black Forest? Why have they suddenly appeared here?"

"Was it caused by Tai Luo and his actions?"

Rod pondered. Great Sword Tai Luo had arrived at Storm Castle before him, but Rod had not seen him during the battle.

It turned out he was on a secret mission.

As he was thinking, there came a loud noise beside him, and a Spiritual Energy cannon shot hit a Big Horror Demon squarely.

Boom!

Accompanied by a huge explosion, countless black materials scattered across the sky.

A large hole was blown into the Big Horror Demon, but it did not fall down and continued to move slowly towards Storm Castle, the hole in its body gradually healing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Spiritual Energy cannons kept firing, but they had little effect on the Big Horror Demons.

Rod quickly realized that although they seemed very slow, that was only relative to their massive bodies; in reality, they were moving very fast.

In just a moment, the first Big Horror Demon had already stepped into the range of the castle’s fires.

In that instant, Rod felt the entire light flicker as countless fires ignited on the Big Horror Demon’s body, only to extinguish immediately.

The light of the Guardian Fire noticeably dimmed a bit.

Then, one after another, the Horror Demons invaded the range of the fires.

Thirty Spiritual Energy cannons fired wildly, but they could not stop their advance.

Iron Beard’s face turned pale, and he said with a trembling voice, "First Elder, please summon back Lord Tai Luo! We can’t hold on any longer. There are more Big Horror Demons than the first time, and back then, our main cannon was still operational."

"No!"

Amendo denied his idea.

"Tai Luo’s mission is our hope. Otherwise, Storm Fortress won’t hold, and the Black Forest will devour us."

"But, but..."

"Enough."

Amendo lightly leapt onto the wall, spread his hands, and the air began to twist.

"When they enter my range, I’ll open fire."

Rod hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Your Excellency, may I go out and fight?"

Amendo’s cloudy eyes turned towards him, "What would you do out there?"

Rod replied, "I have discovered weaknesses and flaws on the Big Horror Demon."

"Flaws?"

In an instant, everyone turned their heads.

Commander Iron Beard’s eyes nearly burst into flames.

"Where are the flaws? How come I didn’t know there were flaws on the Big Horror Demons?"

Rod hesitated for a moment, then answered, "Only I can see them, roughly only I can utilize them, I need to get close..."

Amendo said coldly, "No, the pollution around the Big Horror Demon is astonishing, you will be severely corroded. I have said before, the only way to deal with Big Horror Demons is to strike from a distance. Your flaw attack might not be effective here; don’t rely on your past successes. That is inertia, a narrow mindset. You were successful in the past, but it might not work now, because... what are you doing?"

In the midst of his shouting, Rod leaped up, charging towards the nearest Big Horror Demon like lightning, skillfully dodging numerous claw strikes, raising his right hand, a crescent scythe flashing by.

Thud.

As if coming from the Void, an odd sound followed, Rod tightened his right hand and yanked fiercely.

The mountainous Big Horror Demon collapsed like a deflated balloon, its black viscous material evaporating into countless black dust.

[The Soul of the Big Horror Demon]

Amendo’s entire face bloomed open like a chrysanthemum.

Meanwhile, Iron Beard stood with his mouth wide open, as if he had lost his jawbone.

"How is this possible?"
