Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 212: Break Into A Stronghold

The blank space that appeared in an instant shook Alan's heart. It was only at the level of a major general, and Catherine definitely hadn't attacked with all her might. With this, what kind of scene would an expert of Windsor Belo's level be like when he struck with all his might?

At this moment, Alan felt that his imagination was too poor to imagine.

A majestic pressure suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and the aura that made everything bleak pressed down on Allen's will like a mountain. After a second or two of blank space, Alan finally saw it.

Mothership! A thousand-meter-long Saber Demon Mothership was slowly descending from the sky. It looked like a living creature, and its hull was in the shape of a knot. A row of crystals flickered above them. As the mothership moved, its hull rose and fell, and its wings flapped like waves, flying towards the sky above Shadow Stronghold like a strange fish in the sea. It didn't seem to be fast, but in fact, it was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was constantly expanding above Allen and the others' heads.

A huge shadow shrouded the fortress.

At this time, sparks flickered on both sides of the Saber Demon Mothership, and light, single-handed flying ships ejected from both sides. When the tail engine started, it dispersed and attacked the stronghold together with the Lizarddragons. Beams of energy descended from the sky, hitting the shield of the stronghold, causing fireballs to explode. The hull of the mothership also stretched out many weapons platforms. All of the weapons lit up at the same time. Instantly, the sky was like a meteor shower. Hundreds of beams of light intertwined with each other, splitting into mistakes, and finally landed on the fortress shield.

The shield flickered, and the energy field resisted the enemy's attack with all its might, but its level was constantly decreasing. At this time, the Saber Demon Mothership poked out the main cannon of the warship from the front. The thick black cannon was wrapped in scarlet lines. Dot after dot of fluorescent light was gathering. Just a slight sense of the energy aura gathered at the muzzle was enough to drive people crazy.

"Moving an airship off the planet to the battlefield, you guys are really desperate." Catherine whispered, her lips parted and she gently inhaled. The Snake and Scorpion Empress above her head suddenly shrank, but she did not disappear. Her ten-meter-tall body shrank to Catherine's height, covering her like an illusion, like an illusion armor.

If Catherine broke through the bottleneck and advanced to Dominant, then the Projection of the Ancestor would truly appear as a Seal Armament. Unfortunately, she was still some distance away from that realm. Even so, being able to shrink the projection of the ancestor and overlap with herself was already quite impressive. At this time, the power of the ancestor truly rumbled through her veins, playing a violent music with her own Origin Energy.

Catherine stabbed the snake scythe into the ground and spun the scorpion spear with both hands. The rising Origin Energy was pulled together by an invisible force and poured into the scorpion spear. The lines on the scorpion spear lit up one by one, and the spear suddenly stopped spinning. Catherine held her spear in one hand and aimed it at the Saber Demon Mothership. Just as he made this move, the scorpion spear disappeared from his hand, appearing a hundred meters away in an instant, breaking through the air!

At first, it was only a faint black line, and in an instant, it turned into a streak of black lightning. A moment later, it had grown like the raging waves of the Nether River. In the end, it was as if a pitch black dragon had appeared in midair, dancing with its claws and teeth. It heavily collided with the main cannon of the Saber Demon Mothership, and before it could accumulate enough energy, the main cannon was smashed into pieces. The front of the mothership was pushed down and the stern climbed up. As a result, the black dragon slanted past more than half of the ship's hull, piercing through the middle of the ship's hull.

Catherine picked up the snake sickle, squatted down, and propped herself up again. The rooftop of the command tower collapsed, and the young girl shot like a cannonball towards the falling mothership that was groaning in midair.

Alan and the others were dumbfounded.

The huge wind pressure caused Catherine's black and white ponytail to almost stick behind her head. The mothership was constantly expanding in her eyes. She could even see the figure of the Saber Demon in the mothership running in shock under the armor pierced by the scorpion spear.

The serpent sickle spun out, and according to Catherine's senses, the blade hooked the scorpion spear that had fallen down with all its strength in midair. Under the influence of the beam of light, the sickle hooked the scorpion spear back into Catherine's hand. The young girl's left sickle and right spear stamped on the void with her feet in mid-air. The progenitor phantom around her suddenly lit up. Catherine carried the phantom and changed directions in mid-air, turning into the Saber Demon Mothership that had its outer armor pierced through.

Moments later, patches of black light that resembled clouds continuously flashed out from all parts of the hull, and pillars of light that resembled the assault of the Nether River broke through the hull. Under Catherine's sabotage, the ship began to disintegrate, and the separated hull exploded one by one. Inside the exploding fireball, countless blazing fragments carried flames as they descended towards the stronghold, causing the stronghold's shield to ripple with energy.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the engine at the stern of the mothership exploded heaven-shaking and earth-shattering. Even though they were isolated by an energy shield, Allen and the others in the stronghold could still feel a shocking impact from the air. The invisible force fields almost caused them to fall to the ground.

After the explosion, pieces of the mother ship's wreckage fell to the ground. Most of the wreckage landed on the wasteland outside the fortress. The impact of the wreckage caused the ground to continuously explode with mud and sand. Alan raised his head and saw several pieces of the ship's wreckage falling in their direction, dragging the flames along. The cannonfire from the stronghold swept over the wreckage, blasting them into the air. However, two exceptionally large pieces of metal wreckage still landed on the stronghold.

They collided with the stronghold shield first, and the intense collision caused the wreckage to disintegrate further. One could see that there was actually a Saber Demon falling out. This collision caused the shield of the stronghold to finally be torn apart. As a result, the Saber Demon and the wreckage of the ship fell down together. Alan's expression changed and he shouted, "Run!"

They spread their legs and ran in the direction of the stronghold playground. The wind behind them was loud, and pieces of debris crashed into the dormitory area. Several buildings were knocked down by the collision, and a violent shock wave came from behind, causing Allen and the others to pounce forward and fall heavily to the ground. Before they could get up, tons of dust howled and dispersed, pressing them against the ground for a moment before they could get up.

When the impact behind him subsided, Alan raised his head. He was already buried in a shallow sand dune. Looking back, a few rows of buildings were knocked down, leaving only one or two floors of the building. Fragments of the ship's hull were scattered nearby, and the flames were still burning around the fragments, causing sporadic explosions.

'"Damn it" William also got up from the ground, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of mud and sand, his tongue sticking out with a depressed expression.

Lucy and Brooey emerged from the sand one after another, both with gray heads and grey faces, looking miserable.

Footsteps rang out from the playground, and the soldiers of the Federation were running in their direction. Alan patted his body and pulled Lucy to her feet. The girl looked at Alan and smiled. Suddenly, her smile froze and she shouted, "There's a Saber Demon!"

Everyone looked back. Sure enough, many Blade Demon Cultivators jumped out of the scattered wreckage of the ship. These Demon Cultivators' lives were actually so tenacious. After they jumped to the ground, they quickly discovered Allen and the others and ran over with strange cries. At this moment, a warped armor suddenly exploded, and an exceptionally tall Devil Cultivator jumped out from within. He stood upright with his right hand in a rough metal armor. He stepped on the ground and immediately let out a roar. The Origin Energy rose and began to faintly form the projection of the ancestor in mid-air.

It was actually a Saber Demon General!

"Prepare to fight!" Alan took out his fangs and lowered his center of gravity. He looked at the hundreds of Demon Cultivators and Saber Demon Generals who had jumped out of the wreckage one after another.

The reinforcements behind him had arrived, and the soldiers who had spread the word of death began to fire at the Saber Demon. At the same time, a majestic aura swept past the crowd. Someone carried the projection of the ancestor and headed straight for the enemy general. Alan looked over and saw that it was Major Luda.

With Lu Da greeting the other party's general, it was naturally none of Alan's business. Under Alan's instructions, the few of them still focused their attention on the hundred-odd demons. Amongst the Saber Demons, there were also a few centurions. They were Alan's targets.

When the battle began, Lucy took the lead. Golden Rose raised her spear and fired repeatedly. She used a batch of fire bullets that she had rushed to make earlier. When the bullet hit the target, it would cause an explosion. The impact and flames would knock down the Saber Demon that had pounced on it one by one. Bloy's forehead was engraved with carvings, and all the joints on his body were cracking loudly. The burly man raised his heavy axe and slashed it into the Saber Demon, causing the Saber Demon people to turn their horses upside down.

Two Saber Demons with Beast Head Demon Spear snatched them out of the enemy formation and raised their spears to attack Bloy with just two beams of energy. Wilick let out a muffled roar, bent forward, and blocked Broy's path with his fists flying together. At the same time, he used two heavy artillery fists to hit the energy beam, blasting them in mid-air. Wilick blocked the door with both hands and charged into the flames of the explosion before pouncing out in the blink of an eye. He leapt up high and followed a parabola towards the two Saber Devils.

His fist continued to boom, and his heavy punch caused the Saber Demon to spit out blood and throw it down, so there was no time to raise his spear and shoot.

On the other side, Alan stopped the two centurions alone. Although the energy conduction patterns of the fangs hadn't been repaired, their materials were far superior to those of ordinary weapons. An engraving of the prairie blade appeared between Allen's eyebrows. His sharp teeth were wrapped in orange flames, and hundreds of sparks flew out to cover the two centurions. Sparks shot out, the saber Qi was cold, killing the two centurions only had the ability to defend themselves, not the ability to retaliate.

They had a slight advantage on their side, but the situation on Luda's side was terrible. Lu Da was only a Level 20 Awakened, while the Saber Demon General was Level 23. Although he had suffered some injuries from falling from the sky, the Saber Demon's nature was ruthless, completely ignoring Lu Da's killing move. Most of the time, he would fight for his injuries and punch Lu Da. The Saber Demon General's iron fist was heavy and heavy. After Lu Da punched a few times, he no longer dared to be greedy and take the lead. Instead, he started to defend cautiously.

Unexpectedly, this was even more disadvantageous to him. Originally, his Origin Energy was three levels lower than the enemy, plus the fierce nature of the Saber Demon. Lu Da was timid, his fighting spirit plummeted, and even his defense was full of mistakes. He had found several flaws for the Saber Demon General, and his heavy punches had caused him to vomit blood repeatedly.

In the duel, Lu Da once again broke through the defenses of the Saber Demon General. Seeing his opponent punch towards his heart, Lu Da saw that he couldn't dodge and immediately felt ruthless in his heart. Instead of retreating, he charged forward with Origin Energy. A violent collision erupted between the two sides, and Lu Da flew into the air like a puppet, throwing it down again. The Saber Demon General let out a miserable scream. His chest was torn open by Lu Da, and blood flowed endlessly. He could even vaguely see the beating heart inside.

Both sides declared serious injuries at the same time.
