The two looked over with icy gazes and simultaneously stood at the elevator entrance.
Herzog staggered backward, trying to escape to the other side, when he felt a cold aura surge from his side. It turned out that Erii had completely dealt with those Death Servants and was now looking over with equally cold eyes.
The girl's long red hair fluttered in the wind and rain, making her appear extremely dangerous.
On the other side, Lin Ye was stationed.
The four men surrounded Herzog in almost every possible escape route, and at that moment, Herzog knew he had nowhere to run.
unless……
He looked out at the glass walkway of the Skyview Corridor, at a cliff-like height above the ground.
Chapter 115 is out! [Please subscribe!]
"Ahhh!"
A agonizing and piercing scream echoed through the dark world, its explosive force completely drowning out the thunder and howling wind and rain.
To the ear, it sounds like the judgment of a most wicked demon in the deepest depths of hell. It is an eternal torment and suffering from which even the most terrible demon cannot escape, and this judgment will continue for eternity without ceasing.
Beneath the Sky Tree, the members of the Demon Clan and the Snake Clan couldn't help but feel terrified.
Even though they were hundreds of meters underground, they could hear the sound clearly. The agonizing screams were absolutely devastating, as if they were experiencing the most terrible pain in the world, or as if they were trapped in the most terrifying nightmare. This nightmare would never end and would only grow stronger. Even just hearing the screams would give an ordinary person nightmares at night.
The members raised their binoculars and looked at the scene on the Sky Tree and Sky Corridor. Their legs trembled violently, as if they were having some kind of epilepsy. Some members with slightly weaker willpower even collapsed into the puddles beneath them, as if they were experiencing the most terrifying nightmare of their lives.
Although the members present were all strong individuals who had experienced countless dangerous battles throughout their lives and had even teetered on the brink of death many times, their strength and mentality were unmatched by ordinary hybrids. They were all A-rank, top-tier A-rank, and those who were dispatched here were the best among hybrids. However, when faced with the scene on the Skyward Corridor, even the bravest person could not help but tremble.
Putting themselves in their shoes, if they were actually standing on the Skyward Corridor, they probably wouldn't even be able to stand, let alone fight.
At that moment, through their telescopes, on the Skyward Corridor, stood Herzog, being tried. His Ulaanbaatar uniform was tattered and torn, and his body was covered in blood and gore.
Under the relentless attacks of Lin Yeyuan, Yuan Zhisheng, Yuan Zhinv, and even Erii, Herzog, who had already been brutally mutilated, suffered another round of torment. His flesh and blood shattered in the wind and rain, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
One can't help but be amazed by the monster's physique. What is it made of? How could it burst out with so much flesh and blood? And what happened next was even more terrifying.
Just as Herzog's body was being tortured to the extreme, as if some kind of seal had been broken, tentacle-like things suddenly spewed out from his limbs and all over his body. These substances were iron-black and at first glance looked like iron-black venomous snakes. Moreover, they could pierce directly out of his body and shoot towards the others present with a whooshing sound. These tentacles were densely packed and looked like frantically wriggling fleshy buds.
This was the scene that sent chills down the spines of all the elites present. The shrill and painful howl came from Herzog's mouth, and even inside his mouth were countless long, narrow tentacles that looked like fleshy buds, a sight that was truly horrifying.
"My God, what kind of monster is that?!"
"No, that's no longer a monster, that's a demon, an extremely evil demon that crawled out of hell. Hell was no longer able to judge it, so it let this demon escape from hell!"
The members cried out in fear.
At this moment, the entire Sky Tree had been completely extinguished, with only the blazing white lightning illuminating the stormy night. Under this flickering light, Herzog's entire body was writhing with fleshy buds, and even his face was covered with countless fleshy buds, making him look extremely horrifying. In pain, he twisted his hideous and grotesque demonic body wildly.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Many of the elites under the Sky Tree subconsciously let out this terrified cry, because they simply couldn't bear it. Their mouths were dry, and at this moment they felt their scalps tingling and their whole bodies covered in goosebumps.
It's absolutely terrifying; even the most abstract and greatest artists in the world might not be able to create a painting like this.
Despite their extraordinary understanding, they knew that this world was not dominated by humans, but by dragons. This world contained hybrids and powerful dragons, so they knew from the beginning that it was destined to be an extraordinary world.
However, it is precisely under this kind of understanding that they are even more terrified of Herzog, this twisted monster. This is because whether it is a hybrid or a dragon, these things are things that appear in data or even textbooks for them. They are things that they already know. Even when facing the powerful pure-blooded dragons, they may only feel their majesty and feel that they are as insignificant as ants.
However, when faced with such a twisted monster as Herzog, they only felt a chill run down their spines and a disgusting fear—a fear of the unknown. They really didn't know what kind of monster Herzog was, or how such a monster could possibly be born when the dragon worldview was already so vast.
This is a joke played on the world, and also a joke played on the dragon race!
Even Genjiro was shaken.
Lin Ye had previously told him that whether it was Tachibana Masamune of the Snake Clan or the leader of the Demon Clan, they were actually Herzog's shadow warriors, controlled by Herzog. But now, facing something like Herzog, this monster covered in tentacles had completely transcended the concept of a dragon.
At first, Genji was deeply moved, after all, not just anyone would dare to plot against God's legacy. But now, after seeing Herzog's so-called true form, he suddenly understood.
The other party was such a disgusting and terrifying thing, it was simply a ghoul. No wonder it dared to eat even the corpse of a god. Genji was also extremely solemn, because a demon as evil as Herzog was too terrifying. It was unimaginable what kind of terrible disaster it would bring to the world if it obtained that great power and truly ruled the world.
Can we really expect something like this to build a greater world? Absolutely not. Herzog will drag the entire world into the deepest abyss of hell, leaving everyone trapped in endless suffering and despair. There will be no more light in this world.
Gradually, the solemnity on Yuan Zhisheng's face turned into seriousness, and finally into solemnity. His marble-carved face became as sharp as a sword. The man was like a warrior stepping onto a battlefield of life and death. His heart was full of determination. His trench coat was fluttering in the wind and rain behind him.
It was as if a battle flag had been raised. No matter what, Genji would fight to the death against such a thing. This was a war, and it had to be a war that humanity had to win. Otherwise, if humanity lost, the whole world would be plunged into the most terrible hell.
In stark contrast to Genjiro's inner thoughts is Genjiro's daughter.
Upon seeing Herzog in his true form, the other party's eyes revealed immense excitement, as if he had spotted a very novel prey.
In truth, Genji's perception was distorted and chaotic. He used to find the King terrifying because he couldn't see through him, but now he had completely seen the King's true form. He wasn't afraid of the unknown; he was only afraid of not seeing clearly or not understanding. But now, the King, Herzog, was perfectly presented before him. Although his true form was ugly and disgusting, he had indeed figured out what kind of thing it was. Therefore, Genji no longer felt fear; all he felt was a strong sense of curiosity. He wondered if it would be very exciting to actually fight something like the King.
As for Erii, no matter what Herzog becomes, it doesn't really affect her much. She simply sees him as a target to kill. Because Herzog can use the black rod to control her bloodline, in Erii's mind, Herzog has already been sentenced to death. No matter what he is, whether disgusting or terrifying, Erii feels nothing. She just wants him to die, and that's enough.
So when Herzog revealed his hideous corpse, Erii's will to judge became even stronger. After this brief adjustment, her power of words was once again mobilized, and the resulting tidal wave of swords was even more ferocious than before.
Similarly, although Lin Ye was an ordinary person who transmigrated, after several fusions with character cards, Lin Ye's mind had become very strong. The mental training he had undergone was like traversing thousands of mountains and rivers and slaying countless evil spirits. Therefore, when facing Helberg, he was able to maintain a relaxed and playful attitude.
Don't be fooled by Lin Ye's relaxed demeanor. If an ordinary person were to face Herzog, they might have been bewitched by the demon's few words and Herzog might already be crawling on the ground, devouring the demon's face. However, Lin Ye has completely outmaneuvered the demon. It is precisely because of his exceptionally strong mindset that Lin Ye has been able to strategize and achieve this level of control.
Facing Herzog's body, Lin Ye continuously activated the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash, accompanied by the will of Thunder Breathing. It could be said that under the four's fierce attack, even the re-evolved Herzog was completely powerless to resist. However, although it was powerless to resist, its resistance had increased significantly. This was exactly what Lin Ye wanted to see, because only with increased resistance could they truly enjoy the beating.
For example, Herzog's iron-gray tentacles contain a very powerful self-healing ability. Often, after being severed by a single strike, new tentacles will quickly grow back, seemingly endlessly. It is precisely because of this endlessness that the scene was filled with a bloody storm, as if a rain of blood was falling across the entire world.
Herzog's incredible resilience is what caused this situation. It's easy to imagine that in a game, being able to land every hit on a monster, with critical strikes and blood splattering everywhere, is incredibly addictive. But once a game character becomes truly powerful, those so-called bosses can be taken down with a single strike, and the real thrill isn't heightened; the excitement of landing critical hits with every strike is lost.
Especially the four people present, each of them harbored hatred and murderous intent towards Herzog, and they all wanted to ensure that he could not die even while enduring extremely terrible pain, because only if he could not die could they continue to torture him. So under the four people's brutal attacks, Herzog's body was almost never put down in mid-air in the Skyward Corridor. His body kept exploding, and various kinds of flesh and blood kept bursting open. Various screams continued to erupt until the end, when Herzog's shouts became extremely hoarse.
The elites below the Sky Tree watched with trepidation, yet were also extremely relieved.
They were trembling with fear because they felt the horror of Herzog, this evil spirit. Even after being tortured like this, he could still scream so excitedly until he could barely hold on for a long time. They were extremely grateful because they felt that the four ruthless people in the Skyward Corridor were on their side.
After all, even a demon like Herzog could be tortured so miserably, so it's conceivable that these four are even more terrifying than demons. Therefore, they couldn't help but feel fortunate that their leader and boss were such brave people.
Under the fierce attack of the four, Herzog was becoming increasingly unable to withstand it. Although his eyes were bright, they were extremely broken. He wished he could die right now, but how could these four possibly let him succeed?
Perhaps the boy named Lin Ye will take out some medicine to treat him in a while. After he recovers, he will be subjected to another round of intense torture. Herzog can't take it anymore. He has to save himself. Although he is currently more than 600 meters in the air, he is not without a way out.
He still has a chance; there is only one way out for him!
With this thought in mind, Herzog unleashed the last bit of strength in his body, the strength he had been accumulating, the opportunity he had been waiting for.
His flesh and blood exploded in large areas, making it look like he was about to be completely destroyed by the four of them. Lin Ye and the others subconsciously held back, afraid of completely killing Herzog. But in that moment of pause, Herzog suddenly burst out, his body shooting out like a cannonball, leaping out of the corridor and plummeting downwards.
Not long after, a loud, muffled thud was heard.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
They never expected Herzog to be so fierce. In order to escape, he jumped from a height of more than 600 meters and then let himself be smashed into a pile of flesh.
With a loud thud, Herzog looked extremely gruesome, like a pile of shit suddenly exploding on the ground.

Later, Herzog's screams became increasingly shrill, and his voice fluctuated wildly, going from high-pitched to hoarse, then back to high-pitched, and then back to hoarse again, repeating this cycle over and over.
Why did this happen?
That's because initially, Herzog naturally retained some strength when facing Lin Ye's slashing attacks, so his cries of pain were extremely excited. Then, after being tortured for a long time, his voice became hoarse. As for why he became excited again, it was because Lin Ye increased the intensity, which also stimulated Herzog's potential. In addition, Genjiro, Genjiro, and Erii also joined in, which doubled the pain, squeezing out more potential from Herzog's bones. From the rapidly increasing decibels, one could feel the pain Herzog was enduring—an unparalleled collapse, breaking down again and again.
Of course, this kind of sound is a complete enjoyment for Genjiro and Genjiro.
For the people below the Sky Tree, however, there was a chilling and unsettling feeling. A demon had been tortured to such an extent, and what terrified them even more was that even after being tortured like this, the demon could still scream in agony, demonstrating its incredibly tenacious and abnormal vitality.
Even the most powerful demon was exhausted under such torment, and its final judgment awaited it. All the elites below the Sky Tree were waiting for this moment. They knew that Herzog's voice was completely hoarse, which meant that its power was almost exhausted and there was no longer any resistance. They believed that the judgment on the demon would soon come to an end.
Until an extremely high-pitched scream rang out.
It was as if the intense pain they had just endured had reached its peak at this moment, a final burst of energy before death, until the screams abruptly stopped. Everyone looked up and felt a sudden relaxation in their minds, as if they had been freed from an extremely oppressive environment. They all thought Herzog was completely dead.
However, just as all the elites were anticipating this moment, an exceptionally sharp whistling sound burst forth from above.
A figure was seen falling from the Sky Tree's Sky Corridor. No, to be precise, the figure jumped down and plummeted at high speed in the wind and rain, looking like a cannonball fired in anger.
It eventually crashed into the ground in free fall, creating a large crater in the thick, tough concrete.
"Good heavens, this is... this person jumped off a building!!"
The elites present couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. They never expected Herzog to be so ruthless as to dare to jump from a height of hundreds of meters.
Of course, this also shows that the other person has been tormented to the point of collapse, and would rather die than endure such intense pain.
As for Herzog, who landed...
He felt like he had escaped, but it also felt like he hadn't completely escaped.
Because he had only escaped the torture inflicted by Lin Ye and the others, falling from a height of several hundred meters without being killed instantly, he didn't know whether to feel lucky or devastated.
I was lucky that I didn't die on the spot; at least I'm still alive.
Herzog's physical condition was very poor, and he had no strength left to escape. Jumping from the sky was the best he could do. Even without the fall, he didn't have any extra strength, let alone the heavy impact of the crash.
Herzog's toes twitched slightly; subconsciously, he still wanted to escape.
But of course, it was all in vain; he couldn't escape, so all he could do was wiggle his toes.
However, he was not completely desperate, because he could still speak in a hoarse voice.
He looked at the members of the Fierce Ghosts not far away.
"Children, do not be afraid, I am your king. I have been ambushed, and the Dragon King of the Fierce Demons has betrayed us. He has betrayed our family, and I am now severely wounded. I desperately need your strength, children! Give me your strength!!!"
Herzog struggled to lift his head and look at the fully armed members not far away. His voice was hoarse, but extremely sincere.
Faced with Herzog's sincere appeal, the members of the Ghosts present exchanged bewildered glances, many with extremely complex feelings.
In fact, from the very beginning, based on Herzog's words, actions and demeanor, many members of the Ghost Clan did vaguely recognize that the so-called Herzog should be their King, their leader of the Ghost Clan, and the patriarch of this family.
Especially when Genjiro erupted, they could vaguely guess some things. There had been rumors that their Dragon King and their leader, the King General, had a bad relationship. The Dragon King had even tried to assassinate the King General several times, but the King General had always let the Dragon King go. Although they didn't know the outcome, they at least knew that the two were not on good terms.
So when Genji attacked Herzog, many members of the Oni Clan had some reservations, and some even planned to step in to save Herzog. However, they couldn't get there in time because the Sky Tree elevators had stopped operating at that time. At a height of over 600 meters, they were powerless and could only wait below. However, during this waiting process, they gradually noticed that something was wrong.
Especially when Herzog revealed his true form, those terrifying and ferocious tentacles, that evil true form—was that really their leader? Was that really their so-called patriarch? No, that was simply a demon! A monstrous demon crawled out of hell.
Even those who had previously supported Herzog underwent a dramatic change in their mindset. They suddenly realized what a wise decision it was for the Dragon King to kill the King General. If such a terrifying creature as Herzog were to lead the demons, they would all eventually become food for this evil spirit. It must be that their Dragon King was perceptive and powerful, and thus discovered this early on. That's why he had repeatedly killed the King Generals in the past, all to avoid being devoured by this evil spirit.
Moreover, no matter what the Dragon King does, he would never harm the entire family of the Fierce Ghosts.
Their mindset changed completely in an instant, from initial support to fear, and now to antagonism.
Yes, they had all completely sided with Herzog, or rather, the King. Now, seeing him reach out and sincerely call to them, their hearts were filled with complex emotions, but not one of them stepped forward to support him. The reason why the members felt so conflicted was that for so many years, they had been longing in the Ghost Clan to have the King lead them to reclaim the territory of the Snake Clan, to make them the masters of this country, and to let them know that the so-called loss of control was a huge joke.
They had been waiting for this opportunity, only to discover in the end that their so-called leader was actually the real evil demon.
