Chapter 1492: The Death God Shiryu Who Devours Demons!
[Boom!]
[Boom!!]
At the edge of the desert within Wind Province.
Continuous explosion roars rose and fell.
Balls of soaring firelight continuously rose within the demon army.
The Third Infantry Division of the Star Realm Sixth Army Group under Vice Admiral Frangel.
With the support of rocket clusters in the rear and the bomber squadron in the air, they were struggling to resist the advance of the countless demons spreading over.
G3 automatic rifles, MG3 general purpose machine guns, mixed with AT-4 rocket launchers, together constructed a dense network of crossfire.
Completely covering the one-kilometer range in front of the position, barely blocking the demons' advance.
It was just that Vice Admiral Frangel truly didn't expect that Admiral Green Bull would directly teleport the Fourth Main Battle Legion to the 'Demon Country Battlefield' using the Flying Thunder God Array.
This left them before Lieutenant General Vladimir Vazov's Fourth Army Group arrived.
They could only rely on themselves to resist the demons' offensive, which was truly immense pressure.
However, the demons of the Netherworld Government were not just lower rank and middle rank.
Each layer also had twenty-two upper demons!
Although not all upper demons were willing to participate in the battle.
After all, there would always be some demons who didn't want to come out for various reasons.
But even just one upper demon was not something the Star Realm Army's troops could resist.
Not to mention that a total of ten appeared in various places on the battlefield!
These upper demons, each with their own characteristics, either in human form or as monsters, broke into the Third Infantry Division's position in their own ways, casting terrifying magic to wantonly slaughter the surrounding soldiers.
The machine gun bullet strafe from the soldiers when they resisted had no effect on them whatsoever.
Even though these bullets were all attached with faint holy magic power.
Either they were quickly dodged, or blocked by magic, and even if they hit, it was difficult to cause damage.
"Shadow Demon Magic. Shadow's Backstab!"
One of the upper demons stood amidst the hail of bullets, spread its arms emitting dense black qi and shouted loudly, its face full of a playful and cruel smile.
The next moment.
As a ring of black qi rapidly spread.
All Star Realm soldiers within a radius of nearly three hundred meters died from sharp blade backstabs transformed from their own shadows.
"Ugh!"
"What?!"
"This... this is my..."
Soldiers who were hit let out screams one after another, their faces full of disbelieving terror.
The strangeness and terror of this scene were simply challenges to people's psychological endurance.
Who could have imagined that the murderer would actually be their own shadow?
The key was that it was unavoidable!
"Shadow Demon Magic. Shadow Spirit Revival!"
This upper demon cast magic again, as its low sound rang out.
One after another black shadow extended from under the corpses of the soldiers who had fallen in the pool of blood.
And stood up from the ground, raised the pitch-black firearms in their hands, and pulled the trigger to shoot at the comrades-in-arms still alive in the distance.
[Dadadadada!]
Instantly, black bullets streaked through the air, killing dozens of Star Realm soldiers on the spot.
Such a terrifying scene made the nearby soldiers who were still alive tremble with fear.
Some even began to stagger backward, but the strict military law made them hesitate.
After all, being a deserter would result in being shot!
"Damn it, where are our experts?" a soldier gritted his teeth and cursed angrily.
As soon as the words fell.
Everyone present suddenly felt a streak of scarlet light appear within their line of sight, passing through those shadow soldiers one by one.
In the blink of an eye, all the shadow soldiers shattered almost simultaneously!
Before they could react.
A red line as fast as lightning struck towards the Shadow Demon.
The latter's expression changed drastically, revealing a shocked look, and it hurriedly flashed backward, while simultaneously grabbing forward fiercely with its right hand.
[Clang!]
Suddenly, a piercing metal collision sound rang out in the area, forming spreading sound wave ripples in the air.
Looking again, the red line had stopped, revealing a black-bladed long saber flashing with a scarlet luster.
And its master, who held it, had a burly physique, a height of nearly three and a half meters, an unusually wide and long chin, and an unsettling evil smile on his face.
But the black coat draped over his shoulder, and the word 'Justice' on his back, made all the Star Realm soldiers feel incredibly reassured and their spirits were greatly boosted.
The experts of the Main Battle Legion have arrived!
Yes.
It was none other than Admiral Akainu's adjutant, Shiryu, with the military rank of vice admiral.
And that blade, stained with blood and glowing with blood light, was Raiu!
"Have you finally appeared, human hero?"
The Shadow Demon glanced at the bloody wound on its right palm, looked at Shiryu, and sneered, "To be able to injure me, it seems you also possess some kind of 'Underworld' strength. Are you interested in talking about it?"
"Heh—, you're already dead. What's the use of knowing so much?"
Shiryu, with a cigar in his mouth, exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled evilly.
"Dead?"
The Shadow Demon's expression was ferocious: "You don't think you've won just because you injured me once, do you?"
"Once is enough."
Shiryu finished smoking his cigar, spat it onto the ground casually, and at the same time raised 'Raiu' in his hand, extended his tongue and licked the blood off the blade.
"What?"
The Shadow Demon couldn't understand his meaning.
But immediately, its line of sight was attracted by Shiryu's rapidly blackening skin and the white markings that appeared on it.
"I said, once is enough to pierce your heart. You are already dead."
While maintaining his evil smile, Shiryu turned the blade upside down and aimed it at his own chest.
"Huh?"
"What kind of joke is this? The heart is indeed our demon's weakness!"
"But we are different from you humans. We can control the position of our heart at will. It's not that easy for you to pierce it!"
The Shadow Demon grinned playfully, spread its arms, and was about to cast its magic again.
To let this boastful human know who was truly dead!
"Shadow Demon Magic. Shadow... Ugh..."
But before it could finish speaking, Shiryu opposite him had already stabbed the blade into his chest, piercing his heart, and the sound of flesh and blood shattering rang out.
At the same time.
The Shadow Demon suddenly felt severe pain coming from below its right abdomen.
That was exactly the position of its heart!
"How is this possible..."
The Shadow Demon's terrified eyes widened as if they were splitting open.
"If my heart is pierced, then your heart will naturally also be pierced. This has nothing to do with its location~"
Shiryu maintained the posture of the blade piercing his chest, revealing an evil smile that even demons found terrifying.
At the same time, behind him, a terrifying phantom image also appeared, wearing a white robe, with disheveled hair, double horns on its head, and a short sword clenched in its mouth.
"That... what is that! Undead?"
The Shadow Demon covered its severely painful right abdomen, trembling all over its body.
It could feel its strength rapidly fading...
"No, it's the Death God!"
"Shiryu, grab its body, let me taste the demon's soul!"
"No problem~"
The next second, Shiryu instantly appeared in front of the Shadow Demon.
The dying Shadow Demon attempted to resist.
But in its weak state, it was difficult to resist the right hand enhanced with Armament Haki. Under everyone's gaze, it was firmly grabbed by the neck by Shiryu and lifted up.
The Death God behind him immediately used its ability, taking advantage of the demon not being completely dead, forcibly pulled its soul from inside the body, and sucked it into the mouth biting the blade little by little.
"No! No! No!!!"
The Shadow Demon could no longer suppress its fear and let out a mournful scream.
Because this wasn't sealing, this was devouring...
The next second.
The demon's body turned to ash and vanished in front of Shiryu.
[Whoosh----]
Instantly, the Star Realm soldiers who witnessed all of this cheered and were overjoyed.
Shiryu was completely unconcerned by this, and asked the Death God with a smile, "How does it taste?"
"A bit spicy," the Death God replied, savoring the taste.
"It's fine, there are nine more. Let's see if their tastes are any different~"
Shiryu's playful gaze looked towards the upper demons rampaging in several other battlefields.
"It's just a pity that with our means, it's a little difficult to preserve the heart..."
