"Bang!"
The Horned Demon Captain was hit by a stray arrow, stumbling backward a few steps.
Yet instead of becoming angry, a look of delight flashed in its inhuman pupils!
Though it didn’t know why these humans suddenly charged out, this was a perfect opportunity to break through the stronghold!
The surrounding Horned Demons howled, charging from all directions. Each clash in the General Tier battle unleashed massive energy waves, and a tempest rose skyward. The entire street was affected by the battle’s aftermath, the ground fracturing into pieces!
Although the Human Race soldiers were all elite, the sheer number of Horned Demons, trained relentlessly by Outer Realm Demons in brutal combat, left them with rich battle experience. Soon, the charging squad was surrounded and overwhelmed!
Behind them, to prevent the stronghold from being infiltrated, the mall’s shield had immediately been reactivated.
But the soldiers who charged out did not retreat; instead, their eyes burned even redder as they fought fiercely against the Horned Demons!
Although most Awakened are carefully self-interested, some have faith, and some take on the duty of protecting civilians. They’re not afraid to die, but they cannot bear to see their fellow humans slaughtered before their eyes!
The crowd roared with a determination to die without regret, slashing through the Horned Demon horde.
Unfortunately, the world is material; no amount of willpower can heal worsening wounds or replenish depleted energy.
But just as they were prepared to trade their lives to take down a few more Horned Demons, suddenly, a gigantic shadow enveloped the entire street.
The battling soldiers and Horned Demons were momentarily stunned. In such a ghostly place, nothing was surprising, yet they all stopped because they sensed a terrifying aura above them, one that sent chills down their spines!
Involuntarily, soldiers and Horned Demons raised their heads, and in the next moment, their faces were struck with horror!
It was apparent that the sky, already shrouded by Black Death Prison with only faint sunlight peeking through, was now completely covered by a mass of dark clouds, which were filled with countless wailing souls!
These souls crowded together in an incredible number, forming a massive black cloud! Just watching from afar was enough to make one’s scalp tingle!
"This is..."
But before anyone could react, the black cloud rolled in the sky, plummeting downward like collapsed quicksand!
"Boom!"
A black waterfall crashing from the heavens struck the ground, and countless ghostly entities screamed fiercely as they charged out in all directions, swallowing everyone on the battlefield in the blink of an eye!
The soldiers were shocked, but soon realized these ghostly entities had no intention of harming them; rather, they rushed straight towards the Horned Demons, savagely tearing into their bodies!
"Roar!"
A Horned Demon let out a furious roar, gathering all its energy into its head horns, and suddenly spewed a massive Fire Dragon with thousands of degrees of heat, trying to clear away these bothersome ghostly entities before it.
But in the next instant, its eyes widened in terror!
A giant hand extended from the black mist, surrounded by dense ghostly aura, and pinched the Fire Dragon out!
"Puff!"
The flame exploded, burning away the ghostly aura around it, revealing a towering figure six meters tall, clad in heavy armor and wielding a warhammer.
The Horned Demon then realized that these seemingly chaotic ghostly entities actually formed intricate Battle Arrays, allowing them to share power synergistically. At the center of each array stood a ghostly entity as powerful as a Stabilizing Needle!
No, these ghostly entities even had their own equipment, and that equipment was clearly not of mortal quality! It had followed the Outer Realm Demons into battles across more than a dozen worlds and had never seen such ghostly entities. Rather than calling them ghostly entities, it should be...
For some unknown reason, two words inexplicably flashed through its mind.
Ghost General!
Thinking of this name instinctively sent a chill through it.
However, as the Outer Realm Demons’ most loyal warrior, it would charge forward without hesitation, even against a God! The Horned Demon roared furiously, clashing heavily with the Ghost General, who also let out earth-shaking roars!
Yet in the next moment, it was struck by an irresistible force, vomiting blood as it was hurled backward!
Though only a General Tier, the Ghost General could unleash undeniable King Tier power with the Fierce Ghost Battle Array’s support!
At that moment, beams of golden light descended from the sky, coupled with the cold voice of a man:
"[Command: Charge]! [Command: Hold Firm]!"
As the words fell, the ghostly entities, already holding the upper hand, went into an intense frenzy. One Ghost General swung a massive warhammer, crushing the chest of a Horned Demon before it. Instantly, the chest caved in as if it was a kite with a broken string, flying backward!
Two Horned Demons attacked from the side with weapons; the Ghost General fended off one spear yet was unscathed by the knife of the other, its armor unpierced, and retaliated, smashing the assailant’s head with a backhand swing!
Ordinary Horned Demons couldn’t withstand even a single exchange with the Ghost General!
The terrifying part was that nearly a hundred of such powerful beings existed! Among them were even more formidable High-tier Ghost Generals!
Before them, even the war chariots of the Horned Demons would be effortlessly destroyed!
In less than three breaths, half of the street’s Horned Demons perished, forcing them to blow the retreat horn, fleeing in panic after leaving numerous bodies behind.
The soldiers stood gaping at the scene before them. Originally, they had steeled themselves for a valiant death, but the battle shifted too swiftly. Before they could even react, the Horned Demon army had been routed, fleeing in disarray, armor abandoned.
