CHAPTER 966: CHAPTER 555: EXTERMINATION MODE ACTIVATED (PART 2)

The best way is to force the "thing" in the Winged Demon Ancestral Court to come out.

However, the Sword Holder Alliance Army slaughtered the Winged Demons on the periphery for three whole days, yet the "thing" in the Winged Demon Ancestral Court refused to come out.

On the morning of the fifth day,

the dim morning light barely illuminated the earth.

A hundred kilometers south of the Winged Demon Ancestral Court, downstream of the Abyss River, there was a Shadow Lake, and mist began to spread from the lake.

The mist spread at an extremely fast pace, covering hundreds of kilometers on the ground and continually advancing into the sky.

For caution’s sake, Azik had to raise the height of the Star Realm Battleship to avoid the mist.

The Druids of the Elf Clan conducted tests on the mist and discovered some rather bad information.

"This is toxic mist, highly poisonous, inhaling it causes body paralysis, and continued inhalation can lead to death."

However, the Demon Clan could move within the toxic mist.

The Winged Demons, sheltered by the toxic mist, began to launch a counterattack against the Sword Holder troops.

In this situation, recklessly entering the mist to fight is not a good choice.

This caused the Elf Clan’s Night Blade Leopard Corps to have to retreat to avoid being enveloped by the mist.

Even if our overall strength is superior, there would still be increased casualties within the mist.

The mist continued to spread, and mist diffusion points began appearing one after another.

If this continues, the mist will cover the entire Winged Demon territory.

"We must investigate the cause of the mist and destroy its core." Lu Heng made a decision and turned to look at the Sea Demon Clan’s High Priestess Sona.

Since the mist spread from Shadow Lake, it meant finding the mist core meant entering the Shadow Lake.

This task was most suitable for the Sea Demon Clan to handle.

"I will lead my clansmen down to have a look." Sona did not refuse the arrangement and agreed.

That afternoon, the Sea Demon Clan entered Shadow Lake to search for the mist core.

...

On the eighth day,

The warriors of the Sea Demon Clan led by Sona found the energy node at the bottom of Shadow Lake, a whole altar-like energy node composed of writhing dark red flesh pillars, with a strange organ connected at the top, exuding a divine aura.

Sona realized immediately that the divine aura of this organ was of the same origin as Salion.

This meant that this organ was left by Salion in their old lair as a trump card to protect the Winged Demon territory.

Sona investigated the cause of the mist but did not act on her own and instead relayed the information back to the Star Realm Battleship.

Upon receiving the news, Lu Heng led a team into Shadow Lake to join the Sea Demon Clan and together they destroyed the demon divine organ left by Salion.

After the demonic organ exploded, it spewed out violent poisonous liquid, which Lu Heng and Sona jointly blocked by opening a rift and spreading a water curtain.

...

After destroying the toxic organ of the demon god, the toxic mist began to gradually dissipate.

However, the dissipation of the mist was extremely slow.

If left to dissipate on its own, it would take at least half a month to clear completely.

Orelana led the Arcane Masters of the Elf Clan, used magic to change the weather, and conjured strong winds to blow the mist away.

Even so, it still took three days for the mist to completely dissipate.

On the twelfth day of the campaign,

after the mist dissipated, the Sword Holder Alliance Army continued to clear surface demons.

Whether they were Winged Demons, earthworms, or other types of demons, all were executed.

Many Winged Demon tribes began to scatter and flee.

The nanomechanical missile stations spread across the continent continuously fired missiles, locking onto any type of demon for precision strikes.

In the following half month, this campaign turned into a one-sided slaughter.

The participating Sword Holder teams reaped bountifully, gaining immense energy, and their levels steadily rose.

The average level of the participating teams had reached level 60, with many reaching level 70 warriors.

This time, the warriors of the Bansel Clan were the most numerous in participation.

After previous actions, Mia had already discovered that fighting alongside the Sword Holders was the shortcut for the Bansel Clan warriors to enhance their combat power.

Moreover, due to the Bansel Clan’s innate affinity, they were tended to by the Elf Clan, Black Iron Dwarves, and even the Sea Demon Clan.

The Bansel Clan warriors simply needed to follow behind these powerful clans, engage in auxiliary combat, and they could gain rich rewards.

...

On the thirtieth day,

The surface demons of the Winged Demon World had been killed until not a single blade of grass remained; those still alive either hid underground, in Abyss lakes, or concealed themselves within the Winged Demon Ancestral Court.

The deployment of nanomechanical missile sites by the Xavier Matrix continued to increase.

These nanomechanical factories only needed to consume computational power to expand infinitely; as long as the world’s minerals and resources were not exhausted, the number of nanorobots would exponentially grow.

After clearing the surface demons, nanorobots began assembling underground explosive robots.

One by one, miniature underground explosive robots drilled into the cavernous networks below. As soon as they found demons, they would self-destruct, taking the demons along.

...

On the thirty-fifth day,

The battle continued, but as the number of surface demons declined, the intensity of the fighting began to decrease.

There was still no move from the Winged Demon Ancestral Court; the Winged Demons hiding inside didn’t dare come out, because they would be immediately killed upon appearing.

For the most part, Lu Heng stayed on the Star Realm Battleship during the battle.

Because Azik remained an uncertain factor.

That afternoon,

Azik suddenly exhibited unusual behavior, redirecting the Star Realm Pulse Cannon’s muzzle to aim at the Elf Clan’s Night Blade Leopard Corps below.

In accordance with Lu Heng’s request, the Xavier Matrix always reserved a portion of computing power to monitor the actions of the Star Realm Battleship and Azik.
