Piercing Arrows, Destruction Arrows, Extreme Cold Rapid Fire, Divine Hunt…

The night sky was completely enveloped by the sharp, unmatched killing intent of the arrows.

Tusen's heart raced as he quickly activated a Mithril Guardian Rune to defend himself.

Boom!

The Destruction Arrow struck the rune, causing the entire sky to explode.

Tusen's body shook violently, and the rune was thrown off course.

Just then, an Extreme Cold Arrow struck again.

The world froze, and even the chaotic energy seemed to be locked in ice, reducing the effectiveness of the Mithril Guardian Rune's defense.

As Tusen struggled to break free from the restraints, a Piercing Arrow appeared out of nowhere in front of him!

He quickly poured all his near-True God power into the Doomspear, shattering the law chains that bound him.

He barely managed to block the Piercing Arrow, but another arrow, carrying god-slaying power, tore through the void.

In the desperate look in his eyes, the arrow ruthlessly pierced his skull!

The Divine Hunt shattered his soul core completely.

Carrying infinite arrow intent, the divine power crashed into Tusen's divine essence, bringing about his final destruction.

The Doomspear, now uncontrollable, fell from the night sky, crashing to the ground and creating web-like cracks.

Cyriel flew over and collected the Doomspear.

The True God-level deity watching from the sidelines paused for a moment but said nothing.

She understood that Cyriel and Natasha were still wary of them, possibly out of caution.

The Eborwen family's guardian had already been slain.

Seeing the tide turn, Killian attempted to flee but was intercepted and killed by the True God-level deity.

The battle gradually settled.

"Let me go! Do you know who I am?!"

Julian, who had been suppressed, felt the cold pressure and was filled with terror.

He had been through many similar crises, but his family always managed to save him at the critical moment.

But this time, he felt a completely different fate awaiting him!

These people had killed Elder Killian without hesitation; clearly, they had no fear of House Silverlight and would not care about him either!

The outcome of this battle was already sealed.

An Elemental Assassin approached Julian, grabbed his tooth with bare hands, and snapped it off!

Ah—!

Julian let out a shrill scream, the pain overwhelming his mind, and he instinctively howled.

"I am the son of the head of House Silverlight! How dare you do this to me?!"

"Execute him," the Elemental Assassin coldly ordered, tossing away the tooth.

The imperial authority of Crossbridge Empire would not be violated!

Offenders must face the ultimate punishment!

Court of Darkness

Cyriel and the four contract deities returned.

Natasha lazily reclined on a long bench.

Cyriel handed the Doomspear to Natasha.

All the spoils of the battle had to be decided by her.

"This weapon will remain in Twilight City for now," Natasha said, her gaze sweeping over the four deities, who were Elizabeth's people.

Although Elizabeth was now the empress, Natasha still kept her guard up.

However, she did need their power for the moment.

"You will take over Twilight City from here."

"The Court of Darkness must maintain an independent image," Natasha directed.

If the Court of Darkness wanted to go further, it needed to be separated from the Twilight City regime.

No matter what outsiders speculated, only by keeping an unpredictable image could the Court of Darkness expand its reach into the Abyss Demon Realm.

The four deities understood.

Natasha planned to reveal only a 200,000-strong High God army to the public.

Although the Abyss Demon Realm was an upper-level plane, the simplicity of its people was evident everywhere.

A 200,000-strong army, all at High God rank, would cause an uproar and shock when revealed.

It would certainly attract the attention and investigation of countless factions, and be seen as a major threat!

If the full 1.5 million army were revealed… the scene would be unimaginable.

Not to mention that their emperor might send millions of troops in the future.

For a moment, Natasha felt a bit disoriented.

Was Crossbridge Empire the upper realm, or was this place the true upper realm?

Moreover, the Court of Darkness's core task was intelligence gathering and resource acquisition.

Being too flashy would make them targets for the two great empires, resulting in relentless attacks and hindering long-term development.

Let Aurek handle the war-related matters himself.

The Next Day

As the night faded, the sky above the lord's mansion appeared shattered. The world's self-repairing speed couldn't keep up with the damage, leaving it in an unusually dim state.

The citizens cautiously emerged from their homes.

What greeted their eyes were the corpses of 700,000 Twilight Legion soldiers, scattered across the streets and walls.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Though they had vaguely sensed something monumental happening in the city the previous night, seeing the blood-soaked aftermath in front of them still made their hearts tremble.

The Twilight Legion's reputation had spread across the city and even two great empires.

Famous for their battle against the Demonwing Empire, they had never been defeated in numerous battles, making them a well-known and undefeated army far superior to regular imperial legions!

In recent years, the lord had spared no expense in equipping them, and their combat power had nearly rivaled the core imperial legions.

Now, in a single night, 700,000 of them had been wiped out?!

How terrifying was the force that could erase such a formidable army in such a short time?

This reminded them of the night the Blood Magic Society was destroyed.

Just as silent, just as blood-soaked!

"Citizens, breaking news… Lord Tusen is dead!"

"Three city defense demon generals have fallen."

"Elder Killian from House Silverlight has been killed!"

"The entire Eborwen family has been wiped out, and their God General-level guardian has been slain."

A messenger ran into the streets, spreading the news.

"What is this madness?!"

A chorus of shocked exclamations filled the streets.

"My God! Twilight City has changed hands overnight?!"

"Wasn't the Chaotic Artifact guarding the city? How could this happen?!"

Everyone stood frozen in disbelief.

Lord Tusen, who had once wielded the Doomspear and fought off the Demonwing Empire's offensive, was a formidable figure!

And now, even the Eborwen family had been wiped out.

In a single night, the entire power structure of the region had been rewritten. How terrifying was the force behind this?

Could it really have been the Court of Darkness?

Many rushed toward the ruins of the Eborwen family and the lord's mansion.

However, what moved the entire city's residents was the sudden appearance of a mysterious 200,000-strong High God army that took control of Twilight City.

All of them were at High God rank, without exception!

Deer of Dawn Inn

Several young men's hands trembled unconsciously.

Hearing one shocking piece of news after another, they silently thanked their mentor for holding them back last night.

Otherwise, they might already be corpses.

The 700,000 Twilight Legion had been mysteriously wiped out, and any of the 200,000 High God legionnaires could likely fight them on equal terms!

"What exactly is the Court of Darkness?"

Jack, the blonde, gasped.

Everyone fell into silence.

Mentor Shakin was equally moved.

Though the Demonwing Empire also had High God legions, such a terrifying force appearing abruptly in Twilight City had caught even him by surprise!

What shocked him most was that while Dark Wing, Dark Keep, and Iron Spine, the three demon general God Generals, guarded the city gates, they hadn't noticed the slaughter of the 700,000 Twilight Legion, nor had they been able to organize any counterattack.

"Is this the Court of Darkness?"

Shakin's mood grew incredibly heavy.

If this were the case, Ironblood Academy would likely find it incredibly difficult to retrieve Dragon Orchid and Blood Lotus!
