Chapter 542: The Sea Demon King’s Return

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Bang!

After the Thorns Magical Formation Spell suffered another wave of the Allied Armies’ fierce attacks, it finally collapsed, and the dim scarlet halo disappeared. The number of cracks on the ground rose drastically, and they became bigger, while the whole Demon Island started sinking quickly.

Gurgle!

More seawater came out of the cracks, and a large expanse of land collapsed. As for the Sea Demons, they were encircled heavily and had no room for escape. This was why they descended into greater despair.

“Charge! Charge inside!”

“His lordship has passed down an order. So, don’t let off even a single one. Charge!”

…

Even though the island’s state turned more precarious, there weren’t any Sea Tribe’s warriors that cowered, and they all followed the Magical Beast Army into the Demon Castle. They tore the Sea Demons that fought back intensely into shreds, and if a single strike wasn’t enough to vent their resentment, they would give them two or three other hacks. There weren’t any Sea Demons that bore the attacks’ brunt that had an intact corpse, and the crowd was so crazy that even the bloodthirsty and brutal Giant Ape King found himself inferior to them.

Hatred and resentment accumulated for several thousand years finally erupted out!

The land collapsed, and Magical Beasts roared. The Sea Demons observed the Magical Beasts that filled the land and the sky, as well as the Sea Tribe’s warriors with bloodshot eyes that gnashed their teeth. The Sea Demons’ bodies shivered with fear, and they all understood that they had lost. The miracle they awaited expectantly didn’t occur!

“Old madam, let’s go. Let’s go quickly. I will carry you on my back.”

“Old madam, let’s hurry up and go.”

…

The eyes of the dozen and more personal guards became tearful, and they prostrated in front of the old witch that was determined to die with the Demon Island. They were entreating her to leave quickly. For the past years, the Sea Demon King was imprisoned in the gloomy Stormy Sea, and the old witch was the tribe’s pillar. It was her that led the clan’s men and helped them survive tenaciously.

Even if the Demon Island sank, they could still look for another island, but once the pillar, the old witch, died, the tribe would lose all hopes.

“Leaving? Hahaha, where can I go?” The old witch looked with tears streaming across her face at the falling clansmen and at the land that sank quickly.

She was facing an enemy army’s siege, many terrifying Magical Beasts, as well as the Great Demon Yang Ling. Even if she was at her peak state, she still might not succeed in escaping. As for now, she was barely alive, while the old monsters and Sea Dragons with her were either killed or heavily injured.

In addition, Demon Island was quite special. It could be easily guarded, and it was difficult to attack it. If she didn’t have the powerful Thorns Magical Formation Spell, even if she managed to escape by luck, she wouldn’t have any means to deal with the Sea Tribe’s army that would hunt her down, and she also wouldn’t have any means to save her weak clansmen.

“Old madam, surrender. If you still don’t surrender, our Sea Demon Tribe may be exterminated.”

“Old madam…”

…

After several old and gray-haired Sea Demons realized that they had already lost, they knelt in front of the old witch and asked her to order the clansmen to surrender.

The blood-soaked Sea Demon Warriors at the front were fighting bravely, while Spellcasters were using layer upon layer of Water Screens to obstruct the advance of the Allied Armies. But, they were facing the fierce attacks of the Magical Beast Army, as well as the Sea Tribe’s warriors, and they surely wouldn’t manage to persist for long. As matters stood, surrender was their only choice, and if they didn’t do so, none would manage to survive this disaster and evade it.

“Surrender! Hahaha, surrender,” the old witch muttered with her tears falling like rain.

Not so long ago, the Sea Demon Tribe that wandered everywhere finally managed to settle on the Demon Island and showed disdain for all four seas. Wherever their armies passed by, everyone would shiver in awe of the Demon Island’s great army no matter if it was a Tiger Shark Warrior with great fighting prowess or the haughty Mermaid Imperial Family.

Not so long ago, the Sea Demons used the Sea Tribes and pirates affiliated to them to rule a boundless sea area, and they just aspired to establish a great empire of Sea Demons. They aspired to become the second Imperial Family to unify the four seas after the Mermaids.

They didn’t expect that all their dreams would burst like a bubble in several days, and they lost everything they had. The whole race was on the brink of extinction!

“Surrender? Could we still surrender?” As the old witch observed the bloodthirsty Magical Beasts and the crazy Sea Tribe’s warriors, her face turned deathly pale.

All Sea Tribes had an ingrained enmity with the Sea Demon Tribe, and they didn’t dare to fight back against them in the past due to the Demon Island’s great power. At that time, they didn’t dare even dare to speak loudly with Sea Demons, but now, their eyes had turned bloodshot, and they were crazier than the bloodthirsty Magical Beasts.

Common people’s anger would give rise to a massacre!

Once a person that was usually well-behaved and cowardly erupted out, he would be crazier than bloody slaughters, and the old witch couldn’t think of anyone able to make the crazy Sea Tribe’s warriors and Magical Beasts stop in their tracks other than the Great Demon King Yang Ling.

Now, it was already too late for surrender!

BANG!

The Demon Island’s collapse speed rose again, and most of its land had already sunk into the sea. Giant cracks could be seen everywhere, and they turned bigger along with the passing of time. They would frequently devour Sea Tribe’s members that couldn’t dodge in time.

The Sea Tribe’s warriors had great enmity with the Sea Demon and were crazy, but they were still forced to retreat due to death’s threat, and only a few people at the front continued slaughtering the Sea Demons that didn’t have any desire to fight.

“Your lordship, the whole Demon Island will shortly sink. What should we do?” The Corpse Wizard King that held the Death Horn rushed over with a grave expression plastered on his face.

The cracks on the ground turned bigger, and a large expanse of land collapsed. The situation was still manageable for flying Magical Beasts, but many Evil Eyes, spiders, and other ground Magical Beasts, as well as some Sea Tribe’s warriors, fell down by mistake. They were drawn into the seabed before they were buried by a large amount of soil. Even if they were good at swimming, they wouldn’t manage to survive.

“All ground Magical Beasts should retreat promptly, and all Sea Tribe’s warriors should also retreat. Command the flying Magical Beasts to speed up their attacks and exterminate the Sea Demon Tribe quickly. Hurry up!” Yang Ling passed down instructions and walked quickly. He collected the ground Magical Beasts into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension.

BANG!

As a loud rumbling sound echoed out, the whole Demon Island shook and started tilting toward the left side. The firm Demon Castle atop the mountain was split in half, and it started collapsing quickly. Some Sea Demons that weren’t killed by the Allied Armies ended up crushed to death by large boulders because they couldn’t get out of the way in time and even the old witch encircled by the crowd was almost crushed by the house’s large roof.

“The lord has passed down an order. Retreat promptly, hurry up!”

“Save me, save me.”

…

The Sea Tribe’s warriors commanded by the Corpse Wizard King retreated probably, and they planned to leave the Demon Island that would shortly sink. But, the ground was shaking intensely, and a large expanse of the stable ground might collapse at any moment, while great crevices would appear on it. People would fall down into the crevices by mistake, and even if they had quick reaction speed, they still wouldn’t manage to evade them in time.

Swoosh!

Yang Ling flew through the air and weaved hand signs with his hand quickly. At this crucial juncture, he saved the Sea Tribe’s warriors that fell into crevices, and he also moved all Sea Tribe’s warriors and ground Magical Beasts that couldn’t retreat in time into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. The Sea Demon Tribe wasn’t any longer able to fight back, and the Flying Magical Beast Corps was enough to dispose of them.

Swoosh!

The Nine-Headed Python King Hydra dived down fast from a high-altitude. It used its colossal body and great brute power to destroy the collapsing Demon Castle, and it was followed closely by the Dark Dragon King, Flying Dragon King, as well as the Horned Bee Beasts, Vampire Bats and other flying Magical Beasts that filled the sky. They all swarmed into the enemy and quickly got rid of the Sea Demons that fought back tenaciously before they surrounded the old witch.

“Lord, I’m willing to surrender, and I will persuade my clansmen to make them surrender. Lord, please let off my clansmen.” When the Sea Demon Eliza witnessed her clan’s disastrous casualties and discerned that they had no room for escape, tears streaked across her face.

“I have given you a good opportunity, but it’s a pity that you didn’t treasure it.” Yang Ling observed the few hundred shivering Sea Demons, as well as the desperate old witch before he spoke calmly. “You will often get just a single opportunity, and once you miss it, you won’t get one again. It’s now too late for surrender.”

Was it too late?

Eliza’s heart shivered, and she instantly got a dizzy spell. All captives imprisoned in the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension would be fed a strong poison made by Alice that would deprive them of their power. At this moment, it was difficult for Eliza even to walk, and she didn’t know what she could use to save her clansmen.

“Don’t spare anyone! Attack!” When the Corpse Wizard King saw Yang Ling’s ice-cold expression, he waved his hand and ordered the crowd to attack. In an instant, the Nine-Headed Python Hydra hovering at a low-altitude took the lead and pounced at the Sea Demons that were encircled by the crowd.

“We will surrender! Lord, we will surrender!”

“Your lordship, please spare me! Your lordship!”

“Mommy! Mommy!”

…

When the Sea Demons that had no room for escape saw the murderous and threatening Magical Beasts rushing at them, they descended into chaos. Some people knelt on the ground to ask for forgiveness, some were terror-stricken and couldn’t move any longer, some hugged each other in fright, and there were even several tearful little Sea Demons that wept as they looked for their mothers that disappeared.

When the lofty Sea Demons that ran amok usually faced an imminent great calamity, they weren’t any different than common people.

“Kill them! Kill all of them!”

“Kill them! Kill them!”

…

The Sea Demons were frightened, while the Sea Tribes that retreated were shouting excitedly. They really wished to pounce at the Sea Demons again and kill them with their own hands.

“Stop! You should all stop!” At this crucial juncture, the old witch consumed the last wisp of Divine Power in her body to release the Spatial Fetters and the Gravity Domain reluctantly. She managed to obstruct the Magical Beast Army’s attack.

The old witch gritted her teeth and took from her spatial ring a stele, as well as a translucent crystal ball. “Mr. Yang Ling, please let off my clansmen. If you do so, I will hand over those two treasures to you, and if you don’t do so, I will crush them even if I have to die, and none will get them.”

The old witch that faced a matter related to her tribe’s survival was forced to surrender, and she was also forced to take out the most precious treasures she had. No matter if it was the Wizard Spell recorded on the stele or the Thorns Magical Formation Spell’s crystal ball, they were both priceless treasures she got by risking her life, and the Demon Island had depended upon them for several thousand years.

Usually, the old witch wouldn’t even let other people take a glance at them, but now, she didn’t have any choice because this matter was related to her tribe’s survival.

“Children are innocent, and even ordinary elderly, as well as women, could be spared. But…” Yang Ling swept the few remaining Sea Tribe’s warriors with his gaze before he said, “Any warriors that slaughtered common people should be punished severely, and they should be even executed.”

The stele recording an Ancient Wizard Spell shouldn’t be lost, and it also shouldn’t be damaged. As for the crystal ball that recorded the Thorns Magical Formation Spell, he also mustn’t miss it. As long as he moved those Sea Demons into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, the Demon Island would be destroyed thoroughly, and he would have achieved his operation’s strategic objective. However, even though their lives could be spared, they must still be punished, and some Sea Demons with heinous crimes should be executed to extinguish the anger of the Sea Tribe’s warriors.

Howl!

The Sea Demons eyed by the numerous Magical Beasts didn’t dare to fight back, and they all assembled together under the Corpse Wizard King’s command. However, when Yang Ling was about to move those Sea Demons into the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, a deafening yell suddenly transmitted from the horizon, and hereafter, a dazzling scarlet beam streaked in the air like a lightning bolt, and it gave rise to giant waves.
