Chapter 370: The Battle Beneath the Surface
Slash!Clang!
"Arghhh!"
"Hold them back! Don’t let them—Uargh!"
Screams of horror and panic echoed through the underground base of the devils as Aldrian and the Paladin knights launched their assault. The knights led the charge, cutting down their foes in a ruthless slaughter, while Aldrian at the rear.
Upon entering the hideout, they were immediately met by many devils that caught off guard by the sudden invasion. Many fell before they could even react. The presence of three King-stage cultivators was too much for the small fry devils, whose leaders resided in the deeper sections of the hideout.
There was little suspense as the Paladins began their slaughter. The strongest enemy they had encountered so far was only at the Duke stage—far from a real threat. While the Paladins cut down the devils before them with their holy swords, Aldrian remained behind, observing their battle and clearing any trap formations along the way.
The underground base was vast, with wide passageways that allowed the knights to fight freely without fear of striking their own friends. The sheer size of the space worked in their favor, enabling them to unleash their techniques without restraint.
Aldrian was impressed by the display of power before him. Though their enemies were far weaker, the Paladins fought with lethal efficiency, cutting down their foes with practiced precision. Slashes and thrusts of their holy swords raged through the underground base, and in mere moments, hundreds of devils had already fallen.
They pressed forward until they finally sensed a few powerful auras rapidly approaching from ahead. Moments later, five King-stage devils stood before them—three at the middle King stage and two at the high King stage, blocking their path.
"Capture at least one of them. We need to find out how they discovered this place," one of the high King-stage devils commanded before the others launched their attack.
Arthur, however, merely cast a glance at the incoming enemies before striking. With a single swing of his Heaven’s Judgment Sword, he unleashed a devastating attack.
