Chapter 3834 The Terrifying Dark Demon
Cheriette was on edge after hearing all those rumors about the demon eating up entire sects, so she freaked out the moment she heard that.
“Wait here while I go see what’s going on. Don’t go anywhere,” Levi ordered solemnly and disappeared before she could even respond.
Cheriette had wanted to follow Levi, as she only felt safe with him around.
However, Levi was going so fast that Cheriette couldn’t keep up with him at all.
Eventually, she had no choice but to give up and hide somewhere secluded instead.
It wasn’t long before Levi arrived at the city gates of Yannopolis, where the demon was said to be sighted.
Of course, Levi was only there to satisfy his curiosity about the demon. He wouldn’t get himself involved unless it would benefit him in some way.
After all, the deaths of the people of Kenfort had nothing to do with him whatsoever.
Hundreds of the city defense army soldiers were attacking a monster that they had surrounded.
The so-called monster was clad in black armor from head to toe and had long, black hair that covered his face.
Because he had gone on a killing spree, he had so much blood all over him that no one could recognize him.
“Argh!”
The sounds of soldiers screaming came from the city gate. Despite having the monster greatly outnumbered, they were unable to cause him any harm.
The Dark Demon stirred up powerful whirlwinds as he charged around like a rabid beast, either injuring or killing the soldiers who were sent flying.
With a roar, the Dark Demon grabbed two soldiers with one hand and held them up in the air. The two soldiers immediately felt their power rapidly draining from their bodies.
In just a matter of seconds, they were completely drained of their power and blood essence. All that was left of them were two sets of skeletons.
“This monster doesn’t eat people! He absorbs their power and blood essence!”
That was when the city defense army finally understood the rumors about the monster eating people.
“Get in formation! We have to kill this monster today, or—” The soldier was halfway through his sentence when the Dark Demon grabbed him with both arms.
His eyes were filled with fear as the monster sucked his power and blood essence from him.
A few seconds later, he was reduced to a pile of bones as well.
The Dark Demon kept growing stronger after devouring a few soldiers with high cultivation levels, so the other soldiers had no means of stopping him at all.
The city defense army had fought in countless battles in the past, but they had never encountered an enemy this powerful.
“Bad news! The protective formation has been broken through! The ballistae aren’t doing any damage to him either! We can’t hold the line any longer! Retreat!”
Having completely lost the will to fight, the city defense army immediately retreated and scattered.
To the Dark Demon, this was a perfect opportunity to attack, as he would encounter no resistance.
With movements as quick as lightning, he pounced on the soldiers with decent cultivation levels and absorbed their power as well as blood essence.
In less than half an hour, he had broken through the castle gate of Yannopolis.
Their defensive formation was down, their heavy artillery units were destroyed, and the city defense army suffered heavy casualties.
Those grabbed by the Dark Demon had all been reduced to piles of bones.
As this was the first time the city defense army had experienced such a terrifying situation, morale was at an all-time low.
Naturally, the civilians and sect members panicked when they saw that and began fleeing the area.
Levi returned to the inn after observing the situation for a while. As he still needed Cheriette to take him to Void Sect, he had to ensure her safety.
What the heck is this demon? I’ve never seen such barbaric power! Those soldiers from the city defense army were pretty powerful fighters, and yet, they were all forced to retreat in fear!
Levi grew increasingly curious about the Dark Demon’s background.
