The Villain Saint is my secondary account

Another loud bang, and a sharp rock spike ripped through the night sky, blasting Asar's head and the magic circle behind him apart.

Assal, who was floating in mid-air, fell down again with a "whoosh" like a kite with a broken string.

In the distance, Ye Xiao lowered his staff once more.

He tried to hold back his laughter, but couldn't help but burst into a smile.

Wait, what is this guy doing?

Not only did it not die, but it also slowly floated up like a balloon and got hit by another shot.

Are you that greedy?

"Ugh—Aaaaaaah!!!!!"

Seconds later, an angry roar suddenly echoed through the mountains and forests.

The volume of his raging anger even drowned out the deafening roar of the fireballs blasting against the mountainside.

Having restored his head once more with blood magic, Asar leaped to his feet with a ferocious expression, the deep red magic power instantly gathering around the longsword in his hand.

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

"boom"

His response was a merciless rock spike that sent his leaping body tumbling through the air and crashing back down.

This guy never learns his lesson.

Ye Xiao was speechless.

Although it seems impossible to kill him in one shot, as the commander, doesn't he feel ashamed to be used as a target in front of so many of his men time and time again...?

"You ant! You deserve to die!!!"

After recovering, Assal, his face contorted with rage, got up from the ground again, but this time, the ram-headed demon beside him managed to grab him.

"My lord! Don't show your face anymore! His spell is too powerful!"

"..."

Assar's ashen face froze for a moment, then he seemed to finally realize something, took a deep breath, turned to look at the goat-headed demon, his eyes wide as saucers.

"...You piece of trash, why didn't you say so sooner?!"

"My lord, I actually..."

"Go to hell!"

Assar slapped the goat-headed demon's head until it exploded.

"Do you enjoy watching my head get blown up? Why don't you experience it for yourself?!"

The unrestrained roars crossed the battlefield and even reached Ye Xiao.

He heard a familiar voice and was somewhat surprised that the demon had survived being blown apart three times.

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Traitor

This time, however, the other side finally learned its lesson and, like the other great demons, shrank back.

Disappointed at losing his target, Ye Xiao pouted.

Meanwhile, Asar, whose battlefield was on the other side, was huddled in a pit, looking as inelegantly as if he were squatting, watching the endless stream of lower-level demons charging and dying, feeling both angry and helpless.

This was actually his first time participating in a war against humanity. He was a demon leader from the second wave of demons who came out of hell, but he was too slow to qualify for inclusion in the front-line legions.

So he finally managed to get a mission from the demon god to attack a small camp, which can be considered as raising the banner of the Blood Prince's conquest of the real world in the hell legion.

I originally thought that this tiny camp would be easy to take down with a few demons, but I never expected to encounter such a disgusting human mage.

The ram-headed demon was now trembling and lying on the side, its head, which had just been smashed, somehow growing back.

However, it was clear that he wasn't as careless as Assal; this time, his tone was even more cautious as he spoke, "M-Master..."

"What is it now!?"

Assar glared angrily at the goat-headed demon.

The goat-headed demon trembled at the fierce glare, but still mustered his courage to speak, "My lord, that...that human's magic is too cunning. Perhaps we can try to seal his magic with some means."

"Sealing magic power...?"

Assar raised his eyebrows, pondered for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

"Heh, it seems that you, this sheep-headed, sheep-brained good-for-nothing, are not entirely useless after all."

"Yes, their camp cannot be moved. As long as we use some magic-sealing stones to set up a barrier, those cunning humans will be unable to use magic. With your wisdom and martial prowess, killing them will be a piece of cake!"

"If you know that, why aren't you getting going!"

Asar roared, "Get out of here and find Commander Malik! Tell him to bring the Demon-Sealing Stone over here!"

"As ordered!"

The ram-headed demon transformed into a wisp of black smoke and shot away with a "whoosh".

Although it might seem wasteful for a mere human mage to use such a precious resource as the Demon-Sealing Stone, it concerns the honor of Prince Asar.

Even if he eventually captures the camp but doesn't manage to kill that damned human with his own hands, how will he quell his resentment, and how will his men view him?

Only by turning that guy's skull into a wine cup can Lord Assar's anger be appeased.

……

Time passed second by second. Thanks to Ye Xiao and the knights and professors who stopped the demon's attack, the Green Vine Wall was finally covered by a barrier built by the mountain mages and repaired.

Princess Serendra and Fimishil wanted to stay and assist in commanding the defense, but Professor Talion and Van Derrian approached at that moment.

"Your Highnesses, please hurry up and climb. The guards have a limited supply of magic crystals. Once the Green Vine Wall is damaged again, there will be no chance to reach the top of the mountain."

"Let the other trainees go up first, I can still..."

"Serendra replied."

"Your Highness."

Unexpectedly, Taleon interrupted Selindra directly.

"Excuse my rudeness, Your Highness, but whether you acknowledge it or not, you are the First Princess, the jewel of the empire... The Duchess and the Second Princess have already gone up, and your and the Third Princess's status is far more noble than anyone else present down the mountain. We cannot allow you to continue taking risks!"

"You and Prince Femishier must go up, for our sake and for the sake of the Empire!"

The woodland was engulfed in flames, the flickering firelight reflecting on Celinedra's complex expression.

"Your Highness!"

"Talion said again in a deep voice."

"Okay, I understand..."

Celinedra and her sister Fimishil exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly.

She wasn't a willful person; she just felt really bad that her subordinates were still fighting on the outskirts and there were so many young trainees in the camp who needed rescue, yet she had to escape first.

But as Professor Talion said, she is not only a real knight of the Sky Knights, but also a princess of the Empire.

Her identity dictates that if she insists on putting herself in danger, she will only bring harm to everyone.

It's a miracle that the camp has lasted this long, but how long this miracle can last is unknown.

“Let’s go, Femishire.”

Celinedra patted Fimishier on the shoulder.

"But Professor Ke..."

Femishiel glanced westward and said, still somewhat uneasy.

"Hmm... I have no choice but to trust them..."

Serendra herself didn't really believe what she said.

There are probably forty or fifty students left at the foot of the mountain. Even though the climbing formation on the mountain is already operating at full capacity, it will still take at least half an hour to remove them all.

During this period, once the defensive barrier outside the mountain wall is blasted open by the constantly thrown fireballs, the guard mages will not have enough magic power to rebuild the Green Vine Wall a second time.

After all, this is a giant defensive barrier that extends from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain. The amount of magic power consumed by the mountain's guard of mages to achieve this is unimaginable.

This would mean that the people at the foot of the mountain would be completely surrounded and killed by demons.

Therefore, she could only pray to the Earth Goddess that the barrier could hold until the knights and professors on the outer perimeter returned.

As they pondered, Serendra and Fimishir were already entwined around the newly sprouted vines, moving with them as if they were slowly ascending in a green river that stretched vertically to the sky.

"Take care, Your Highnesses."

Van Derrian waved to the two princesses as they gradually ascended the steps.

Celinedra waved as well. Her vision rose higher and higher, and she saw the fireball explode on the emerald green barrier a few meters in front of her, bursting into a dazzling firework.

She saw the chaotic scene of people fighting demons in a bloody battle on the outskirts of the camp below—but she didn't know why only to the west was a group of great demons hiding in the back, confronting a group of knights huddled in a tortoise-shell formation across the distance.

Then her gaze went beyond the towering coniferous forest and she saw the people in the camp become tiny dots, the dark and boundless night sky unfold, and in the distance, Raven Pass, which was also being bombarded by countless spells and was flickering with firelight.

Then she took in the entire war-torn southeastern coast, the slowly shifting volcano on the border, and the turbulent currents of the sea on the horizon...

The terrifying height is dizzying; even ordinary birds would have difficulty flying up there, and the streaks of fireballs become distant scenery below.

Steep and towering, this is precisely why the Hengyuan Mountains are considered a natural barrier.

Once we reach this position, we should be mostly safe.

Just as she was about to reach the summit, Serendra breathed a sigh of relief. But suddenly, a loud bang rang out, the mountain trembled, and the vines wrapped around her body began to shake violently.

"how……"

Femisil and several other students who were climbing alongside her exclaimed in surprise, staring in astonishment as the emerald green barrier protecting them gradually crumbled after a few ripples flashed across it.

Without any barrier to intercept it, the fire meteor struck the green vine wall directly, instantly destroying the newly grown vines and the rocky outcrops above them.

The rocks below collapsed, and the mountain above also showed signs of disintegration.

Some of the vines even lost their vitality and fell off the mountainside along with the loose rocks.

"what!!!"

Serendra watched helplessly as the students and several withered vines in the distance fell to the ground, her face turning deathly pale.

How could the barrier that was just set up have disappeared?!

"Sister!! Watch out!!!"

But now is not the time to worry about others, as Femishiel's shout reached Serendra's ears.

Celinedra suddenly realized that the vines wrapped around her were also losing their vitality and gradually withering.

She quickly reached out and grabbed the rocky cliff next to her.

With a "crack," the vines on her body withered and broke in the next moment. A mountain wind blew by, almost sweeping her frail body into the bottomless abyss.

Fortunately, she still had the physical strength of a knight. Her seemingly slender fingers gripped the rock, and she managed to keep her balance.

Femishire reacted quickly, grabbing another protruding rock. However, the next second, as the fireballs below bombarded the mountain, the mountain trembled, and the rock suddenly shattered.

Femishire looked stunned as her body plummeted downwards.

At the critical moment, Serendra grabbed Fimishir's arm, stopping her fall.

Rocks continued to fall, raining down like drops of water, and the two men swayed in the wind.

Fortunately, they were not far from the mountaintop. As Aslans, although they were swordsmen, they did not neglect their magical training.

Therefore, there was no subtle scene like "Let me go." Serendra immediately uttered a spell, summoning wind elements to envelop the two of them and send them soaring into the sky.

With the help of the wind, they successfully climbed the last twenty-odd meters.

Celinedra held onto Fimishier, and the two sisters lay panting heavily on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain. It took them a long time to recover from the terrifying scene they had just witnessed.

"elder sister!"

A familiar voice approached, and Serendra looked up to see the Second Princess Silvana and several priests dressed in the robes of the Earth Sanctuary jogging over. She breathed a sigh of relief.

“Silvana…”

She smiled, supported herself on the ground to stand up, and greeted the other person.
