Chapter 521 - 260: Vast Battlefield_1
In the wraith legion’s direction, the grey fog obscured their exact classifications, unlike the neat and uniform formation of the Temple Federation’s side, the wraith legion’s troops of various species were mixed together, spreading out like a deadly plague. As it advanced, an overwhelming sense of oppression accompanied its presence.
The Federation Legion stood firm, resembling an unyielding fortress. The wraith legion, however, seemed to be pressing forward as if without any command or coordination, the distance between the two factions rapidly decreasing.
As the distance lessened, the demon hunters stationed at the watchtower became visibly tense. They were proficient in their respective professions, which made them eligible to be demon hunters. However, the feeling of insignificance washed over them as they stepped onto the battlefield — a term which adequately captured their utter helplessness when compared to the prodigious armies. Their individual powers felt like mere specks in the vast ocean.
It was then that the demon hunters fully realised why the headquarters had sent them to observe. If they hadn’t personally experienced such a war, they would undoubtedly be trembling under the weight of the oppressive feeling caused by the vast number of ghouls on the battlefield.
This was a real battlefield, vastly different from any simulated scenarios they had faced in the past. Against such a backdrop, the life of an individual appeared incredibly insignificant.
"Hummm——" Suddenly, a humming sound that seemed to resonate between heaven and earth resounded throughout the battlefield, clearly audible to everyone present.
The sound induced a sense of dizziness, causing a sudden tightness in everyone’s chest.
A golden halo spread out from Ling Menglu, enveloping her comrades. Affected by the divine aura, their disquieted minds gradually stabilized. However, at this point, the wraith legion had undergone a noticeable change.
Within the vast wraith legion, all entities stopped simultaneously and raised their heads towards the sky, as if observing something. From the back of the wraith legion, a mass of dense gray-black smoke suddenly billowed upwards, causing shock to anyone viewing it from a distance. The gray-black smoke, at first, resembled a fog, but quickly solidified into a gigantic gray-black skull that towered hundreds of meters tall in mid-air. The view was terrifying. In the next moment, different colored glows sprung up in the dim eye sockets of all the grounded wraith entities, which seemed like the flames of their souls.
"Roar——" The giant grey-black skull suddenly opened its mouth, emitting a deep roar. A more potent sense of vertigo instantly spread across the human army. Two balls of dark red flame pulsed in the skull’s enormous eye sockets, bringing an unparalleled terrifying aura that seemed to blanket the entire battlefield.
