From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Boom!

A thunderous roar came from the north of Kolos City as the Moon Mantle River burst its banks, and the surging water rushed toward Kolos City.

On the banks of the Moon Mantle River, hundreds of Wizards were casting spells, conjuring up Water Dragons to strike at Kolos City.

The Magic Barrier of Kolos City crumbled under the assault of the Water Dragons, layer by layer.

In an instant, Kolos City faced a grave crisis.

Even if the city's walls did not break, it would still be inundated by the Moon Mantle River, leading to heavy losses for the Elf Clan.

The Elf Clan responded quickly, organizing Arcane Masters to take to the walls and cast spells to prop up barriers against the impact of the Water Dragons.

However, the river water from the Moon Mantle River kept coming without cease, forming Water Dragons that violently impacted the city, and the Elf Clan's magic energy alone couldn't hold out for long.

Just when the Magic Barrier of Kolos City was about to give way, Terres leaped atop the northern city gate, facing the oncoming dozens of Water Dragons and unleashed his ultimate technique, Wind Dragon Breathless Slash.

A sword arose, and with a whoosh of the wind, Wind Dragons converged, confronting the waters released by the burst banks of the Moon Mantle River.

The Wind Dragons shattered the Water Dragons, sweeping the surging water up into the sky, temporarily resolving the crisis in Kolos City.

The Elf Clan had a chance to catch their breath, and inside, the Elf Guard quickly adjusted and went about defensive preparations.

...

Atop the city walls.

Lu Heng, accompanied by Chen Zihang, Rong Xincheng, and others, ascended to the ramparts to block the siege by the Bloodline Demons.

Lin Zeyu's advantage was fully displayed during the city's defense.

Within his line of sight, not a single Bloodline Demon could withstand a gunshot.

He picked off the leaders among the Bloodline Demons for assassination; every time he pulled the trigger, he took a Bloodline Demon's life.

Just as Lu Heng was getting ready to withdraw and gather energy to level up,

a ripple of the void appeared before him. Lu Heng instantly became alert and swiftly reached out to grab a Demon Spirit that was emerging from the void—the very same Void Soul Stealing creature he had encountered before.

This particular Abyss Demon Spirit had very low combat power and posed little threat to Superpower Users.

Its sudden appearance here struck Lu Heng as strange.

The Elf Guard atop the city walls noticed the void fluctuations and gathered around to investigate.

Lu Heng, holding the Void Soul Stealing creature in his hand, said, "I've got it under control; no need to worry."

The Elf Guards, seeing that it was merely a small and non-threatening Demon Spirit, paid it no more mind and turned away to defend other positions.

Lu Heng, holding the Void Soul Stealing creature, warned, "I've let you go once, but if you keep lurking around me, I can't guarantee I'll spare you every time."

"Chirp chirp..."

The Void Soul Stealing creature made a series of faint chirping noises, scratching symbols in mid-air with its claws.

Lu Heng carefully watched the symbols it drew and quickly recognized that it was writing words. Astonishingly, it wrote the words "Traitor."

Traitor!

Who could it be?

Considering the abrupt appearance of the Void Soul Stealing and the information it provided, it was unlikely to be a ruse.

There's no benefit for the Bloodline Demons to use it to send such false messages.

If the information wasn't false, it meant there was indeed a Traitor.

Could it be Augustus they were referring to?

That was improbable.

With Augustus's formidable strength, for a Low Rank Abyss Demon Spirit like the Void Soul Stealing to approach him was pure suicide.

Therefore, the "Traitor" it referred to must be Human.

A Traitor among Humans?

It was possible.

But who was the Traitor?

Considering the information collated before, the number summoned this time exceeded 50.

That wasn't a small number, and the likelihood of one or two Traitors among them was high.

However, identifying the Traitor from so many individuals was not going to be easy.

"Who is the Traitor? Lead the way," Lu Heng prompted the Void Soul Stealing to show him.

The Void Soul Stealing extended its foreclaw in the direction of the western city gate and then burrowed back into the void.

Lu Heng was about to check the situation at the west gate but had only taken a couple of steps when suddenly a loud boom erupted from the west.

Boom!

The blast was ferocious; despite the distance, Lu Heng felt the ground shake violently beneath his feet.

Immediately afterward,

shouts came from the Elves in the west, calling for reinforcements from the Elf Guard within the city.

Su Muyu reacted quickly; the Chongming Bird had spotted the source of the noise and reported hastily, "A section of the wall in the west has been blown up, the Bloodline Demons have broken in."

"How big is the breach?" Lu Heng asked urgently.

"About twenty meters," Su Muyu revealed a startling figure.

If the gap was only a few meters, it could be quickly blocked with stones, but a twenty-meter breach was much more problematic.

Lu Heng thought quickly and decided, "First use Solar Wind to hold back the Bloodline Demons outside the city."

"Alright."

Su Muyu answered, guiding the Chongming Bird in a dive, stirring up a gust of Solar Wind outside the breach in the city wall.

The blistering Solar Wind howled outside the city walls, burning the Bloodline Demons that sought to penetrate the gap into a frenzied retreat.

The slower Bloodline Demons perished, turned to ash by the flames.

Due to the breach in the western wall, the city's Elf Guard started to converge in the west, blocking the incoming Bloodline Demons.

Besides the Bloodline Demons flooding through the gap, there were also groups of High Rank Bloodline Demons, flapping their crimson wings, launching attacks from the air.

Kolos City's defense array had been activated, and the previous Water Dragons borne of the Moon Mantle River bursting its banks had broken through over a dozen layers of the city's Magic Barriers.

Thanks to Terres's intervention preventing the onslaught of the Moon Mantle River's Water Dragons, parts of the city's Magic Barriers were preserved.

As a result, the High Rank Bloodline Demons attacking from the air had not yet breached the city, but the situation was extremely dire.
