Chapter 980: First Death Over Sunpeak City


    ?


    Inside the floating castle above digold City, Kemun couldn''t stop shaking with fear. Although he could recognize his Lord''s appearance, there was something very off with his


    aura.


    It was almost like his Lord had be apletely different person.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    However, during their interactions, there were also times when he felt like his Lord had returned to his original self. The change between the two auras confused him.


    "You did welling here to inform me, Kemun. You can return now," Valefor coolly stated.


    With a casual swipe of his hand, the Asura Law split open a spatial rift to Pangea, allowing Kemun to return in the shortest time.


    "Then, I will head off first, my Lord," Kemun obediently took his leave.


    Although Valefor didn''t say what he nned to do with the news of the Celestial Kingdom''s impending attack, Kemun trusted he would do something about it. In fact, he could only trust that was the case.


    Valefor''s terrifying aurapelled him to avoid asking useless questions and wasting his time.


    After Kemun left through the spatial rift, Valefor''s eyes beamed with interest.


    "The Celestial Kingdom, huh? To think that such a strong, hidden civilization would decide to attack thend in this timeline..." Valefor muttered thoughtfully before snickering with amusement.


    "This foolish civilization should have just continued hiding in its turtle shell. But since it has decided toe out and throw a fit, it''ll make a nice warmup for my war on Nightmare." "This life sure is interesting," Valefor smiled coldly.


    In his eyes, the Celestial Kingdom was already a dead civilization, and its people were free ughter energy for his Asura Law. Since they were his free ughter energy, he was also not interested in sharing it with others.


    However, he also understood that he would be med if he failed to defend the UN from the Celestial Kingdom''s assault.


    As such, Valefor immediately summoned three Vampire Lords to his floating castle and instructed them to gather troops without any specifications. He didn''t care who they chose to enlist in the army and also promised they would have blood to drink.


    They were only there to make up the numbers and be meat shields. Their role was to defend, not to attack.


    The killing was his to enjoy.


    Nevertheless, given such short notice, there were only so many troops the three Vampire Lords could round up in a short time. As such, Valefor deployed them to Pangea ahead of time after they passed the enlistment task to their subordinates.


    "Your enemy is the Celestial Kingdom. Don''t mistake the blue-skinned humans for any other humans. If I catch wind of a single UN human getting blood-sucked, I will look for you."


    "U-Understood, Heavenly Devil."


    The three Vampire Lords all trembled with fear after hearing Valefor''s reminder.


    Valefor only said he would look for him, but it was scarier than saying he would kill them because it left them room for imagination.

    After Kemun returned to Sunpeak City, he was immediately bombarded with questions. Everyone hoped that he had brought them good news.


    "How was your trip to the Evernight Territory, Lord Kemun? Did the vampires agree to send reinforcements?"


    "I didn''t meet the Vampire Lords, but I found Lord Vaan, which is even better. It''s just that..." "Just what...?"


    "Forget it. You''ll understand once you see the Lord."


    Kemun decided not to exin what he felt from meeting Valefor. It wouldn''t be good for him if he were mistaken for talking bad about his Lord.


    Sometimeter, the scheduled three hours were up, and the time of the Celestial Kingdom''s nned attack arrived.


    However, not even the shadows of Vaan or vampiric reinforcements were spotted. Even so, no one in Sunpeak City felt abandoned or despaired. They could only do their best to defend the Heavenreacher whilst clinging to their faith.


    ...


    Meanwhile, the Cloud Fortress Leader gathered his subordinates to the edge of the Cloud Fortress, preparing to set off.


    "The time hase, everyone," the Cloud Fortress Leader announced before stating with anticipation, "Today, these primitivend-dwellers will learn to fear us! We will make history and send them back to the stone age! For the glory of the Celestial—"


    "Wait, Lord Dhayu! Thend-dwellers appear to be aware of our n! Their city is on high alert! Take a look at their security!" a blue-skinned Celestial quickly pointed out. "Hm?" Lord Dhayu scrutinized the situation on the surface with a frown before he dismissed it, "It matters not. These triflingnd-dwellers are too weak to withstand our might." "However, since they are aware of us, we will change our ns slightly," Lord Dhayu thought.


    Originally, they were supposed to invade the Heavenreacher and seize control of it with lightning-fast methods before attracting all of the enemy''s attention. Since the enemy already knew about their operation, they only needed to switch it up a bit.


    "Someone needs to attack the city and cause widespread destruction. Any volunteers?"


    "Me! I will do it, Lord Dhayu!"


    Everyone instantly volunteered, full of energy and eagerness, the moment the Cloud Fortress Leader raised the question.


    In their hearts, flexing their power on the weak city was much more fun than seizing the Heavenreacher.


    "Good!" the Cloud Fortress Leader called Lord Dhayu eximed.


    Shortly after picking out half of his elite group, he immediately ordered them to attack


    Sunpeak City.


    "Go!"


    Swish!


    Two dozen excited blue-skinned Celestials in the Divine Origin Realm immediately leaped off the edge of the Cloud Fortress, nose-diving toward the human city. They raced each other to


    reach Sunpeak City.


    Naturally, the Ninth-stage Divine Origin Realm Celestial was the fastest in the group. He took


    the lead by a huge margin.


    "Hehe, see you guys there-"


    St!


    Everything took an abrupt change when the Ninth-stage Divine Origin Realm Celestial


    instantly killed himself by bashing his head into a Divine Lord-level barrier-that only


    revealed itself upon contact.


    The strong impact sent ripples of green light across the invisible dome that covered Sunpeak


    City.


    "Stop-!!!"


    One of the Celestials in the rear cried in horror while halting his high-speed flight, risking self-inflicted injuries in the process.


    The scene of the Ninth-stage Divine Origin Realm Celestial sttering into a meat paste against the powerful barrier was just too horrifying. It was like a moth striking the windscreen


    of a speeding supercar.


    The Ninth-stage Divine Origin Realm Celestial did not even know how he died. Thest thing that went through his head was his ass.
