Chapter 433: Massacre

Chapter 433: Massacre

As they saw the gruesome scene, a strange chill went up to everyone's spines!

Duke Michael's face also turned green as he saw such a magic spell. He hurriedly flapped his bat wings, flew towards the castle wall, and landed on the top of one of the eight castle towers.

Then, he raised his hand and spoke in a deep voice.

"Get ready to attack!" This time, he learned his lesson and decided to use his army.

In the meantime, all the elite knights who stood on the castle wall and the garden suddenly took out the bows and metallic arrows, placed the arrows on the bowstrings, and aimed at Charles.

"Infuse!" Duke's voice thundered in the gloomy night, causing the sky to send out flashes of lightning.

On the other hand, all the knights controlled their elemental energy, sent them towards their hand, and soon infused their arrows with it. Some arrows glowed in red light; some glowed in blue, some in green, etc.

Knights used more than ten different elemental-infused arrows and aimed at Charles from all directions.

At that moment, Duke Michael also stared at him coldly from the top of the castle tower and added.

"Pull."

A moment later, everyone pulled the bowstrings in unison and locked their aim at Charles.

Upon seeing this, he frowned deeply and waved his hand.

Although he wasn't sure of the destructive power behind each of those arrows, he felt threatened inside.

A moment later, sunshine energy came out of his body and soon formed into a forcefield-like structure.

It was Rank-4 [Sun's Guard] spell!

Just as the sunshine layer covered his body, Duke sized his up and down, snorted coldly, and roared.

"Release!"

A second later, more than thousands of arrows flew up towards the sky like firecrackers and soon fell towards the garden's center.

It was such a beautiful scene!

Well, not for Charles, though.

Soon, all those arrows descended towards the garden and landed on the [Sun's Guard] spell one by one!

Explosions echoed continuously as those elemental arrows crashed on the sunshine layer. Moreover, the thousands of arrows managed to create cracks everywhere.

At that moment, Charles knew that this Rank-4 spell wouldn't be enough to stop the upcoming arrows and decided to act.

Indeed, the knights had already loaded another round of arrows and started infusing them with their elemental power!

Although the [Sun's Guard] spell could restore on its own, it needed a massive amount of fire-elemental energy. Unfortunately, [Sun's Guard] spell model hadn't much elemental energy stored inside.

'I can only use this spell once.' He stared at another round of arrows flying from all directions and sighed deeply.

'Tsk, I thought of playing a good character, but it seems it won't work that way.'

A second later, he conjured a ball of rebirth flame and enveloped his body in it.

At that moment, his skin color also changed and was soon replaced with an appearance of a Red Human!

Then, his whole body started to melt in reddish lava, and he looked more like a humanoid form of lava.

His body also started to enlarge in a second, and his height reached two and a half meters tall!

Not only that, but two reddish horns, a long reddish-black tail, and two creepy white eyes appeared in the eye sockets!

Moreover, his Fallen Angel's Wings also remained on his back and gave an ominous feeling to everyone.

To the thousands of humans' eyes, he looked more like a demon from the Abyss itself!

Gasps and shouts echoed from all over the castle as they saw his demonic form. Even the secretly plotting Demonic Sorcerers and Duke Michael got stunned for a moment.

It was just a start, though.

Charles opened his mouth and laughed as those elemental arrows descended from the sky.

"Kekekekeke!"

Because of him in the elemental form, his laugh appeared eerier and reverberated everywhere like a demon's laughter.

For a moment, a strange silence appeared in the center of the garden.

At that moment, every human in the castle was deeply terrified by such a creature's appearance.

A second later, Duke Michael managed to wake up from the shock and roared.

"Stop dazing around, morons! Fire your arrows!"

He knew that everyone was entirely intimidated by this Demon Sorcerer and woke them up.

'No! This thing is not even a Demon Sorcerer! Like that anonymous person mentioned in the letter, this being is a real Flame Demon!' Fear appeared in his heart.

On the other hand, Charles released his wisdom power to its fullest and then raised his hand.

A moment later, all those flying arrows suddenly slowed down and soon suspended in mid-air!

Like a demonic god, Charles rose in the sky without even flapping his Fallen Angel's Wings, raised both of his hands, crossed his fingers, and turned all those arrows in the opposite directions.

At that moment, the eerie reddish-black wings suddenly spread outwards and flapped all of a sudden.

The next instant, countless reddish-black feathers came out of the wings, moved towards those metallic arrows, and soon enveloped those arrows in black flames.

Within two seconds, the whole sky was filled with reddish-black arrows!

"You want to kill me?" A raucous voice came out of Charles's mouth as he snapped his finger and let out another wicked laughter.

A moment later, all those arrows made whooshing noises and moved in all directions!

Before long, those arrows arrived in front of those thousands of Elite Knights and landed on their bodies.

But unlike before, all those arrows exploded upon reaching the target and enveloped the target in eerie black flame!

In seconds, the castle walls were burning in black flames.

Cries and shouts of the soldiers continued to echo in all parts of the castle.

Soon, the flame affected soldiers burned to crisps, fell from the walls one by one, and died on the spot.

In the meantime, Duke Michael watched his elite soldiers massacred by the flame demon and felt pain in his heart. He had been nurturing them for years for his grand plan, but everything went to dust in mere seconds!

'That anonymous guy knew nothing about this Demon's true strength! This Demon's strength is a whole new level. Damn it!' He cursed at the informer and soon shifted his attention towards the garden.

At that moment, Charles was walking towards the three Demon Sorcerers with a cold look on his face.

As for the other Saint Knight, Duke Michael couldn't even see any sign of his presence.

'Where did Carlos go? Wait! Did he run away?!' Rage appeared in his eyes. He was well aware of Carlos's cowardly nature and felt deep anger towards him.

'Should I call Melody now?' He thought for a second but soon dismissed that idea.

From his perspective, Melody was the strongest person in this whole castle. But involving herself in this battle would expose a lot of her secrets, and it might attract the Light Church's attention.

He didn't want to undergo any investigation!

On the other hand, Charles locked his gaze on the young man named Miles and cast [Burning Thoughts] on him.

A moment later, he disappeared from there and reappeared behind him. But instead of killing him on the spot, he suddenly turned his gaze towards the other two middle-aged Demon Sorcerers and squinted his eyes.

At that moment, he received a forewarning and learned that one of these two demon sorcerers had attacked him in that vision.

'Wait… No, something is off about that right side sorcerer.' Because of the black hood, Charles couldn't see his face clearly and showed a confused look.

He then raised his hand, pointed his finger at him, and cast [Finger of Destruction] spell.

At the same time, he raised his other hand, grabbed Miles's head, and crushed it without any hesitation.

In the meantime, a dense, chaotic ray came out of his other hand and moved towards the right-side Demon Sorcerer at a fast speed.

Before he could even understand the situation, the ray entered his head and exploded.

But to his shock, the one that exploded wasn't the right side Sorcerer's head but the other person's head!

'What happened?!' Charles saw his spell enter the hooded Sorcerer's head but couldn't understand how he transferred that attack to the nearby person!
