I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 257, 257.2 vs 5000, what the heck?

Climb up the city wall.

The tattered banners, bearing the imperial emblem stained with blood and fire, fluttered wildly in the gray, misty wind.

In the somber atmosphere, everyone gazed into the distance and could vaguely see countless red dots rushing toward them at an extremely fast speed through the sea of ​​fog, causing the island forest to tremble.

The images displayed by the sentinel's artifact showed that the Nightmare Clan seemed to be responding to some kind of call, pouring out from all parts of the forest and gathering towards White Emperor City. In succession, there were more than 5,000 of them!

However, Xia Feng keenly sensed that these Nightmare Race members were not Nightmare Beasts, but rather more like half-Nightmare beings formed after the human race underwent a transformation into a Nightmare—

Because the transformation failed and the individual did not become a rational and stable being, nor did they die suddenly, they eventually turned into a beast that was neither human nor demonic.

But subconsciously, they want to turn back into humans and regain their sanity. So, driven by their subconscious, they will keep killing and devouring humans—they can regain their sanity by devouring humans who still have their sanity.

However, for a half-evil to regain its sanity through this method, it needs to devour tens of thousands of humans, and very few half-evils can succeed.

Seeing so many half-evils gathering, the veterans on the city wall could easily understand that they should have died long ago, but the enemy didn't want them to die, so they hadn't launched a major attack, but instead sent out hundreds of half-evils to harass them from time to time.

However, a few hundred half-elf would be enough to keep them fighting for a long time.

Two thousand half-evils could easily wipe them out, but now five thousand have arrived.

Xia Feng was somewhat disappointed that there were no half-dragons. This rendered his Dragon God True Name useless, as he had originally wanted to test the effects of the True Name on half-dragons.

"Fine," Xia Feng glanced back at the white-haired veterans with swords at their sides, then looked at Lee Jae-seok and asked in confusion, "Are you the only fifth-level sergeant here?"

"Most of the senior generals died more than 20 years ago, and the city lord, Lord Wei Zhong, a Venerable Realm expert, also perished with the enemy in the city defense battle 20 years ago, his soul scattered. It was from that time that the number of casualties in the 100,000-strong army increased year by year."

Lee Jae-seok sighed, "All the level 5 soldiers of the True Fifth Realm have died in battle, and in the end, only I, a mere ordinary level 5 soldier, am left barely surviving."

Xia Feng knew that Wei Zhong was very famous outside the empire, having become the number one traitor in the modern history of the empire, and was infamous.

"Rumble--"

The half-Evil army in the mist drew a little closer.

However, what the crowd did not see was that not far above the army, an invisible giant blue whale was moving its fins and following the army forward.

On the back of the blue whale, seventeen figures were vaguely visible.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong clearly saw the location of these people through the Eye of Deconstruction.

To Xia Feng's astonishment, Teacher Fu was also on the whale's back, but she was now imprisoned in a red-glowing cage. Half of her cold and beautiful face had turned into dragon scales, and her whole body exuded a terrifying aura as she violently smashed the cage's array.

The formation cracked rapidly and was about to break.

"Roar—" Countless ferocious beasts, accompanied by gray mist, besieged the city, their roars filling the heavens and earth.

"Gentlemen, good wine goes well with swords."

Banners fluttered in the sky. Lee Jae-seok stood atop the city wall, took a swig from his wine flask, brandished his sword, and roared, "Follow me! Charge!!"

The veterans grinned, took a swig of wine, drew their swords, and charged out of Gaocheng!
They knew this day would come; it was the final battle, a battle they were certain to fight to the death.

But as long as blood is still flowing and the swords are not broken, they can continue to fight.

This moment is not for any grand national cause, but simply so that the women, children, and remaining soldiers in the city may still have a glimmer of hope for survival.

Whizzing--

At that moment, two figures in black robes swept across the sky at an even faster speed, rushing ahead of them. They were none other than the two strange guys wearing K and Q masks.

"What are you doing!" An old soldier's expression changed slightly. "Come back quickly!" Even when fighting the enemy, there is a need for strategy and formation. Although there are many monsters, as long as we look after each other's backs and prevent being ambushed, we can naturally hold out for longer.

For these two to recklessly charge into the horde of monsters is tantamount to walking into a trap.

Lee Jae-seok was also startled and quickly sent a telepathic message, "You guys are going back—eh?"

His words abruptly stopped, for the two men in black robes moved with unparalleled ease, like two black blades slicing watermelons on the battlefield—swish, swish, swish—each slice bursting into bright red, their heads exploding in mid-air with a series of cracking sounds.

Lee Jae-seok keenly noticed that wherever the two men in black robes passed, the movements of the surrounding monsters noticeably slowed down.

Moreover, both of their knives were extraordinary, capable of easily slicing open the heads of three-eyed or even four-eyed monsters, completely disregarding the opponent's physical strength.

Killing a Two-Eyed Half-Eagle inflicts 1T of Pain and grants a 0.1 Strength boost.

[Strength +0.1 +0.1]

[Continuously killed 501 one-and-a-half-eyed monsters, 161 two-and-a-half-eyed monsters, and 8 three-and-a-half-eyed monsters, accumulating 900T of Pain and gaining a 90-point Strength boost]

Current Strength: 1199

[Cast a trapping formation, unleash fingertip lightning and concentric thunder, inflicting 1500T of pain on the target, and you gain a 150-point strength boost.]

Current Strength: 1349

One thousand to two thousand is the fourth-level standard, and two thousand to five thousand is the fifth-level standard.

Xia Feng felt the steadily rising power within his body, which invigorated him, and he swung his sword with even greater force.

These irrational half-Evil beings have extremely low mental strength. Even if their physical strength is as high as level three or even level four, their lack of mental strength is an extreme weakness for Mu Qingtong.

With a single control move, hundreds of half-evils around would be subdued, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

Some of the half-evils had become smarter, or perhaps they had felt fear and started to run away. But when they saw Xia Feng, who smelled delicious and seemed to be saying "Come and bite me!", they swarmed back and continued to be harvested by Mu Qingtong. Their power surged wildly and skyrocketed.

The group of veterans who had just rushed down from the city wall stared blankly at this scene, somewhat dumbfounded.

No, what happened to the promised life-or-death battle?

We were all prepared for a fight to the death, and you ended up fighting two against five thousand?
"Lord Li, who exactly are they?" The group of veterans looked at Li Zaishi.

Lee Jae-seok remained silent and looked at Lin Musen.

"Don't look at me, they rescued me too." Lin Musen waved his hand.

Lee Jae-seok knew that these two taciturn and mysterious people were quite capable, but he didn't expect them to be this capable.
His spiritual pressure is only at level three, but it looks like he's only at level three.

Standing on the blue whale, Ye Libei frowned as he saw the Half-Evil army scattering and fleeing in the distance.

"Outsiders?" He didn't expect two mysterious people to appear at this time. Could they be from the investigation team?

However, if the investigation team is also there, then let them perish along with this city! He turned around and looked behind him, smiling gently, "Sister-in-law, your brother respects you very much, but now I need your help."

He waved his hand, and instantly, the cage that had trapped Freya vanished in a flash.

"Help me kill these lowly people!"

As the soft voice faded, the cage suddenly appeared above the battlefield and then burst apart with a bang.

Freya's eerie eyes were outlined with dragon scales, and her eye sockets were mostly filled with blood red. She turned her head indifferently, and her gaze met Xia Feng's.

"Roar—" She grinned and charged straight at Xia Feng!
