Chapter 296 Casualties

“It’s very difficult to kill a fifth Firmament demon monarch,” said Meng Chuan .

Marquis West Sea nodded . “That’s right . After reaching the fifth Firmament, these demon monarchs have extremely strong vitality . ”

“I’ve already captured it alive . After the battle, I’ll hand it over to Archean Mountain,” said Meng Chuan .

“Captured alive?” Marquis West Sea was alarmed . According to his knowledge, even if a fifth Firmament demon monarch’s body was diced up, they could still counterattack at any moment . He only dared to come forward when the fifth Firmament demon monarch’s demonic power had completely disappeared . He was afraid of being a burden on Meng Chuan if he was ambushed .

“Oh, right . This is Senior Brother Yu’s corpse . ” Meng Chuan waved his hand, and Marquis Purple Rain’s corpse appeared on the ground beside him . The white-haired Marquis Purple Rain had a bloody hole in his chest; his heart had been torn out .

“Senior Brother Yu . ” Marquis West Sea looked at the corpse with grief .

“Marquis West Sea, I’ll leave the matters here to you . I still need to take a look at other areas . ” Meng Chuan looked at Marquis Purple Rain’s corpse and felt somewhat sad . However, he had seen too many deaths over the years .

“Alright . ” Marquis West Sea nodded . He knew that Meng Chuan was in charge of providing reinforcements in this region .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from the city .

Although the other cities and medium-sized World Entrances he was in charge of had retracted their requests for help, Meng Chuan still wanted to check on them .

Swoosh .

Supremacy Qin Wu streaked across the sky like a sword . When he arrived outside a large city, he was about 50 kilometers away from the battle between Godfiends and demon monarchs .

Swish! Swish! Swish!

On the battlefield, about 50 kilometers away, sword beams naturally condensed in the void and killed six fourth Firmament demon monarchs swiftly .

Supremacy Qin Wu cultivated the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body . At his realm, everything within 50 kilometers of him was his territory . He could condense sword beams and kill enemies with a thought . To him, a fourth Firmament demon monarch… was very weak . He did not need to release his Swordbanes .

Although killing demon monarchs is easy, it takes time to travel to the various locations . Qin Wu stood in midair as he looked at the token in his hand . All cities within 1,000 kilometers have canceled their requests for help . The battle should be over . Our human race suffered heavy losses in this battle . However, I wonder how heavy the losses are for the demons .

He flew to a large mountain more than 50 kilometers away and sat cross-legged on the mountain peak . Qin Wu had to stay prepared to help any area at a moment’s notice . After all, the war had yet to end, and the demons might attack again . Time passed .

As night fell, the world began to calm down .

The next day, at the break of dawn .

Whoosh . An illusory man appeared beside Qin Wu .

“Master . ” The illusory man respectfully said, “I’ve returned to Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s pocket grotto-heaven . Almost all demon monarch teams have returned . ”

“They have all returned to the grotto-heaven?” Qin Wu frowned slightly . “From the looks of it, they have temporarily stopped attacking? How are the losses on the demons’ side?”

The illusory man sighed in amazement . “Terrible . I heard from many demon monarchs that Regis Godfiends ambushed them when they attacked the cities! They said our humans’ Regis Godfiends are very sinister . They used their Seamless domains to approach them and attack them suddenly once they were close enough . The demon monarch teams suffered quite tragically . It’s considered pretty good if two or three demon monarchs in a team escaped . There are even a few teams that failed to return at all . ”

“Okay . ” Supremacy Qin Wu nodded slightly . “Do you understand the general losses of the demons?”

“I’m not sure . ” The illusory man hesitated and said, “I estimate that the demons have lost about 50% of their forces in the human world . It’s just my guess . ”

“Alright, continue keeping tabs . Inform me if anything develops,” instructed Qin Wu .

“I think the demons have lost their morale . I don’t think there will be a second wave of attacks for a while,” said the illusory man .

Qin Wu smiled . “I hope so!”

Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s grotto-heaven .

Many fourth Firmament demon monarchs gathered together . They drank, ate, and chatted .

“We tried to kill the human Godfiends, but King True Martial suddenly appeared!” A white-browed wolf demon monarch couldn’t help but feel afraid as he held a cup of alcohol .

“King True Martial… He’s one of the most powerful human Regis Godfiends . It’s said that he can even fight a demon sage . The six of us were scared silly, and immediately scattered . We burrowed into the ground and fled . It’s only because my Essence Soul had reached the third level that I remained lucid . This allowed me to barely escape and survive,” said a red fox demon monarch .

“It’s not bad for two of you to survive after meeting King True Martial,” said a demon monarch .

The red fox demon monarch said, “That King True Martial was eager to save Godfiends . If he had restrained his aura and carefully approached us, we would’ve had more time . We could’ve killed Marquis Azure Wood . Instead, he showed himself from afar to scare us . We immediately fled, and that allowed Marquis Azure Wood to live . ”

“We were in quite a sorry state as well . We encountered a strange peacock beast while attacking a city . When the peacock beast spread its tail, golden beams of light shot out . They were Regis Godfiend-level attacks . We were nearly scared silly by the barrage of hundreds of golden beams . Two of us managed to escape thanks to our powerful bodies,” said a pig demon while chewing on meat .

“A peacock beast? What peacock beast?”

“Could it be a demon?” The other demon monarchs were puzzled .

“No . ” The pig demon shook his head . “It’s not a demon, not a human . It felt more like a special weapon that isn’t alive . ”

“Our team also encountered a strange beast . That strange beast was definitely comparable to a peak fifth Firmament demon monarch . When it opened its mouths, everything turned pitch-black . There was no light at all . We fled underground in fear, and only I survived . ”

The demon monarchs shared their experiences . They still felt lingering fear when they thought back on their experiences .

“Nine Abyss . ” In the main hall, a black-robed figure flipped through a dossier and said, “From the intelligence provided by the demon monarchs that have returned, most of the human cities are guarded by Regis Godfiend-level forces…”

Demon Sage Nine Abyss listened silently .

“Only a very small number of places were guarded by Marquis Godfiends . They chose extremely powerful Marquis Godfiends to work together and guard these areas . When two such Marquis Godfiends joined forces, they were able to fend off our six-man demon monarch teams . The black-robed figure continued, “Also, other experts reinforced them when they arrived . We can currently confirm that Archean Mountain’s rescue team consists of Supremacy Qin Wu, Supremacy Li Guan, King True Martial, King Clear Jade, and Marquis Eastcalm . The ones responsible for reinforcing Black Sand Dynasty are Supremacy Bai Yaoyue, Supremacy Meng Tiange, King Transcendence, and King Molten . ”

“King Clear Jade? King Molten?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss said, “Both of them are Regis Godfiends from 500 to 600 years ago . They should be nearly 1,000 years old if they’re still alive to this day . ”

“Yes . ” The black-robed figure said, “Most of the humans’ Regis Godfiend-level combat forces were those from hundreds of years ago . There are also some rare treasures and weapons protecting various places . We’ve suffered heavy losses across the entire world . ”

“I know,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss, “I can sense how tragic our losses are through the token . What we need to know now is how bad the humans’ losses are? If the humans’ losses are just as tragic, our losses will be worth it . ”
