In a valley amid some lofty mountains, a team of nearly 5,000 people frantically fought a group of Demons. The battlefield was crazed and spectacular and looked just like a battlefield in ancient times.
Both sides suffered severe casualties, their blood staining the valley red. The smell of blood carried for tens of thousands of yards; even those inured to battle would find this situation uncomfortable and unbearable.
However, neither side showed any intention of stopping, both prepared to fight to the bitter end.
Of the two armies battering each other, the Demon army was led by a Level 135, Tier 4 Great Demon, while a woman led the human army.
The woman in question possessed golden hair and crimson eyes. She wielded a silver sacred sword and was clad in a knightâs blue sacred armor. As the woman contended against several dozen Level 130-plus, Tier 3 Demons, her HP continuously decreased. However, despite being at a complete disadvantage, the more she fought, the brighter the glow her sacred sword radiated. The power she exhibited also kept increasing.
âDammit! Youâre actually using the Aria of Holy Blood?! Donât even think I will let you finish it!â The Tier 4 Great Demonâs expression turned solemn when he saw the glowing sacred sword. Immediately, he spread out his four wings and flew toward the crimson-eyed woman.
âEveryone, protect the Commander! Do not let that Great Demon approach the Commander!â a tall man shouted before rushing at the Great Demon with his golden shield raised.
Subsequently, several dozen other melee classes nearby also charged at the Great Demon, all of them ignoring the fact that they were merely at Tier 2.
âScram!â
Seeing the crowd charging at him, the Demon Commander pulled out his crimson greatsword and slashed the space in front.
Over a hundred crimson beams shot forth, tearing apart space as they advanced. The power they carried simply wasnât something even Tier 3 existences could dream of withstanding.
Boom!
The next moment, the several dozen Tier 2 melee classes were instantly vaporized, while the shield-bearing man was sent smashing into the mountain.
âDammit! Iâll kill you!â
When a man standing nearby saw this scene, his eyes turned bloodshot, and he promptly charged at the Great Demon with his sword raised.
However, before this man could even get near the Great Demon, the long-range Spells of several Tier 3 Demons had already killed him.
In the meantime, blood had already dyed the body of the crimson-eyed woman fighting several dozen Tier 3 Demons. Her complexion was also deathly pale. However, despite the state of her body, her gaze remained indescribably firm.
âBe punished, Demons!â the crimson-eyed female knight bellowed as she raised her sacred sword.
The sacred sword released a beam of light that shot to the skies. Countless streaks of light then rained down on the valley like shooting stars, and the Demons struck by these shooting stars immediately fell into a heavily injured state. The situation on the battlefield reversed in the blink of an eye. âKill! We cannot let these Demons take even a step into human territory!â the crimson-eyed knight shouted, her pale complexion showing no signs of fatigue. She then raised her sacred sword and charged at the Demons who were still fighting
The female knightâs words stimulated the surviving humans. They began madly fighting against the Demons.
However, after a few exchanges, the humans present were dumbfounded, staring at a distant pile of Demon corpses in disbelief.
The next moment, the Great Demon Commander, who was over a dozen meters tall, emerged from this pile of corpses, a hint of mockery and contempt on his face. âThe Aria of Holy Blood is indeed powerful. And for you to still be alive after using this desperate move, your mental willpower is truly astonishing. Iâm certain you can rank among the top Tier 4 powerhouses,â the Great Demon said as he looked at the crimson-eyed knight. He then asked mockingly, âBut can you use it a second time?â
At this Great Demonâs words, the complexions of the surviving humans instantly turned ashen.
This was the Aria of Holy Blood they were talking about!
This was the Sacred Sword Blood Moonâs Unique Spell. Most people would be able to use it only once before departing for the netherworld. This was because the consequent pain of the body and mind was not something ordinary people could bear. However, in return for the steep price, once the Aria of Holy Blood was cast, it exerted astonishing power. Even a Great Demon would sustain heavy injuries and lose half of their HP after getting struck by this move. Moreover, without restoration items such as the Water of Life, it would be impossible to recover from the attack.
Yet, nowâŠ
Needless to say, it would be impossible for the female knight to use Aria of the Holy Blood again. However, with the humansâ current combat power, they were no match for the Great Demon.
After all, the Great Demon before them was a bona fide Demon Marquis. The purity of his Bloodline was far superior to that of ordinary Great Demons.
âSince you no longer have any other moves to make, itâs my turn now.â When the Great Demon saw the silent humans before him, an indescribably excited and joyful expression appeared on his face.
âDonât even think about it!â
The female knight suddenly appeared above the Great Demonâs head and brandished her sacred sword.
Three phantom swords appeared in the sky, the sight stunning everyone present.
âThis isâŠthe Sword Saint Lord Lockesâs personal technique, Sky Cleaver!â
âThe Commander actually mastered it?â
When the surviving humans saw the three phantom swords in the sky, a look of awe and admiration appeared on their faces.
âYouâre already on your last breath, yet youâre still putting up such boring resistance?â When the Great Demon saw the three phantom swords, he did not reveal any awe or fear whatsoever. On the contrary, he nonchalantly brandished his greatsword.
Boom!
The greatsword and three phantom swords collided, the resulting shockwave sent both humans and Demons stumbling backward.
Large cracks formed on the ground the Great Demon stood on, and the greatsword the Great Demon wielded let out a low hum. The Great Demonâs arms were also trembling.
Upon seeing this scene, the humans felt both encouraged and excited.
Sure enough, a Sword Saintâs personal technique was truly extraordinary!
However, a moment later, everyoneâs joy turned into despair because the crimson-eyed knight hadnât fared too well, either. Not only was her complexion paler, but even her pupils had begun to fade. It was evident that she was on her last breath; she could no longer fight.
âHahaha! Amazing! Amazing! This is the first time I, Nemen Carlo, have seen a powerful Tier 4 human like you!â The Great Demon burst out laughing as he looked at the female knight. âHowever, it all ends here. Before you die, I will drag you all down to hell first!â

After saying so, Nemen Carlo began chanting the incantation for the Tier 4 Spell Hellâs Gate.
Suddenly, the sky darkened. A huge door decorated with skulls appeared, the blood-red glow from the skullsâ eye sockets and the agonizing screams coming from the door seemingly telling everyone that their destiny was about to end.
Even if the humans present wished to interrupt Nemen Carloâs Spell, they couldnât do so, as the surviving Demons were doing their best to stop them.
However, just as the formation of the Hellâs Gate was about to culminate, a spatial tear over a thousand yards long suddenly split the sky. The resulting spatial storm not only disrupted the Mana in the sky but even shattered the magic array summoning the Hellâs Gate. Afterward, several figures fell out of the spatial tear and crashed onto the battlefield in the valley, their landing sending clouds of dust into the air.
âSo, this is the ancient era?â The man standing in the lead of the group muttered in amazement as he glanced at the world around him.
