Throne of Seals: Underworld Priest, Demon Nightmare

Chapter 27 Demon Commander? Decapitation Operation!

The 1st Infantry Battalion was quickly disbanded under Zhang Hairong's orders, and Chu Zichen and his six companions were also preparing to leave.

"All members of the First-Class Demon Hunter Squad, listen up! The Military Commander of the Exorcist Pass orders you to immediately report to the front-line command post!"

Just then, a soldier in full chainmail rushed over and stopped them.

Military Chief of Exorcism Pass?

Isn't that Cai'er's father, Holy Spirit Heart?

Chu Zichen looked surprised, wondering what the Holy Spirit Heart wanted them to do at the front-line command post.

However, military orders are absolute and he could not disobey them, so he immediately led everyone to follow the soldier to the front-line command post.

Upon arriving at the scene, Chu Zichen immediately spotted Holy Spirit Heart standing in the very center, issuing a series of commands. His expression was solemn, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he exuded an overwhelming killing intent.

Beside him stood Lan Yanyu, dressed in a light blue magic robe.

In addition, Chu Zichen also discovered that not only their demon-hunting team had arrived, but also the entire demon-hunting team of Long Haochen and Yang Wenzhao.

They had clearly just gone through a fierce battle, their bodies covered in blood and gore.

"Report! The first, second, and third rank demon hunter teams have all arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Holy Spirit Heart turned around and looked at Chu Zichen, Long Haochen, and Yang Wenzhao, especially lingering on Chu Zichen and Cai'er behind him for a few seconds.

"We have an urgent mission for you, called Operation Decapitation."

After a moment of contemplation, the Holy Spirit spoke:
"As you should also know, every demon army has a commander. Demon commanders do not have combat abilities, but they can use special sound waves to control lower-level demons, making them fight to the death."

"Once the demon commander is eliminated, these low-level demons become a disorganized mess and are no longer a threat."

"We have already located the demon commander in charge of this demon army using Eagle Eye. So your decapitation operation is simple: infiltrate the demon army, get close to the demon commander, and kill him!"

Deepen your forces into the demon army and behead the demon commander!

Upon hearing the urgent task issued by the Holy Spirit, everyone present was shocked.

This task is quite difficult and dangerous!
Although the demon commander himself has little combat power, he often hides behind the demon army and is surrounded by many demon guards, making it extremely difficult to approach and kill him.
Moreover, if the decapitation operation fails, they will be trapped in the demon army, and then they will have no chance of escaping!

"The entire Exorcism Pass will cooperate fully with you to help you clear most of the obstacles and get you out of the city as quickly as possible."

"Furthermore, to ensure your safety, the Exorcist Mage Legion will set up a spatial teleportation array for you and will use Eagle Eye to monitor your movements in real time."

“If any of you encounter danger, you will be immediately teleported back to the Exorcism Gate.”

"Finally, if anyone is able to complete the decapitation operation and successfully kill the demon commander, each member of the demon hunter team will receive 500 merit points."

The Holy Spirit Heart added last.

500 merit points for each person!
The six of them together have a total of 3000 merit points!
Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but cheer up, as this was an extremely generous reward of merit points!

You should know that they killed so many demons on the city wall tonight, and all of them combined only earned 100 or even less than 100 merit points.

3000 merit points are enough to match their monthly earnings!

"I'm giving you only one minute. In one minute, tell me if you have the guts to take on this mission!"

The Holy Spirit spoke with an unquestionable tone.

Chu Zichen immediately turned to look at Cai'er, Li Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and the other women, discussing with them whether or not to accept the mission. "Team leader, it's up to you. We'll all listen to you!" Li Xin said earnestly.

Wang Yuanyuan, Li Xuefei, Chen Ying'er, and Cai'er all nodded, focusing their gazes on Chu Zichen.

"Alright, let's accept this mission then!" Chu Zichen made the final decision.

Anyway, there's a spatial teleportation array, so even if the mission fails, we'll be immediately teleported back to Exorcism Pass, at least we won't be in any danger.

One minute later, Chu Zichen was the first to vote:
"Commander, our Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Squadron One is willing to accept the mission and will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Holy Spirit nodded slightly, and his gaze toward Chu Zichen held a hint of approval.

"Our second-class demon hunter squad is the same!" Long Haochen said after discussing with his teammates.

"Our Sergeant-level Demon Hunter Team No. 3 will certainly not lag behind!" Yang Wenzhao was equally unwilling to fall behind.

"Alright, let's not delay, everyone get ready to leave immediately."

With a wave of his hand, the Holy Spirit issued the final command:
"Remember, this is a surprise blitzkrieg. You only have three minutes. In three minutes, I want to see the head of the demon commander hanging on the city wall of Exorcism Pass."

……

Before long, all members of the three demon-hunting teams arrived once again atop the city wall of Exorcism Pass, ready to go.

A thick, chilling atmosphere, mixed with the stench of blood, filled the air, clearly indicating that the battle at Exorcism Pass had intensified during this period.

Before they officially began their decapitation strike, the Exorcist Mage Legion also launched a full-scale magical bombardment.

Thousands of mages were divided into ten groups, one after another releasing spells of different attributes. The ten groups of mages kept repeating the cycle, blasting huge gaps in the demon army outside the Exorcism Pass.

Hundreds of magical cannons roared simultaneously, unleashing their full firepower.

Under such a fierce offensive, the demon army, which surged in like a tidal wave, suffered heavy losses, and the ground was littered with countless corpses and pieces of flesh.

"Azure Wave Technique: Myriad Streams Impact!"

Immediately afterwards, Lan Yanyu, a seventh-order archmage, unleashed a seventh-order water-based spell.

One after another, blue orbs of light landed on Chu Zichen and the others, adding special jets of water behind them to accelerate their flight.

However, the Azure Wave Technique only lasts for 30 seconds, which can only send them a short distance away from the Exorcism Pass. From there, they will have to rely on their own abilities to get closer to the Demon Commander.

"Now, jump!"

Chu Zichen, Long Haochen, and Yang Wenzhao issued the order almost in unison.

The next second, everyone on the city wall leaped into the air, using the Canglan Technique to accelerate their flight, transforming into streaks of light and charging straight towards the demon army.

"Commander Chu, this is a rare opportunity. Let's have another match. This time, I won't lose to you again!"

Long Haochen transformed into a dual-sword punishing knight and spoke loudly to Chu Zichen.

“No problem, but in the end, the head of that demon commander belongs to me.”

Chu Zichen smiled calmly and accepted Long Haochen's challenge without hesitation.
