Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start? - Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter143-Feast of Blood
But how could this be possible?

The Fallen Angel race has always been reclusive and extremely arrogant, unlikely to accept anyone else’s orders or commands.

How could they appear here?

And judging by its demeanor toward Owen, it seemed to be quite fearful of him!

Just as Grace’s mind was swirling with shock and confusion, terrified messages suddenly came from various parts of the army.

“General, a Fallen Angel with unknown intentions has been spotted at the rear. Its aura is locked onto us. Requesting instructions!”

“General, the left flank has spotted a Fallen Angel with unknown intentions. Requesting instructions!”

“General…”

Various fearful voices emanated from the formation, clearly reaching Grace’s ears.

Grace quickly looked around the army and saw that the previously empty sky was suddenly filled with many Fallen Angels, faintly encircling the 200,000 troops.

Immediately, Grace’s heart sank.

If the sudden appearance of one Fallen Angel was just a coincidence, then the presence of so many Fallen Angels here clearly couldn’t be explained as an accident!

Instead, it meant that the Fallen Angels were truly following Owen’s orders and were planning to attack their Kyrik army.

Grace had a clear understanding of the power of the Fallen Angels; each one was a diamond-tier powerhouse.

They were incredibly resilient, with terrifying combat capabilities, and could even coordinate with one another to unleash power far beyond their level!

In the past, whenever Fallen Angels appeared, they would stay far away, fearing to offend this formidable race.

But now, at a glance, there were nine Fallen Angels surrounding the army.

If they fought to the death, they might hold out for a while with the help of the battle formation and Crimson Dragons.

However, once the formation weakened, they wouldn’t stand a chance against so many Fallen Angels!

At this moment, besides Grace, who was utterly shocked, the four deputy generals and the elite Kyrik soldiers forming the battle formation were all filled with horror and fear.

If it were just one or two Fallen Angels, they would have had the confidence to contend with and possibly even kill them, given the power of their battle formation.

But nine Fallen Angels, combined with Owen and Seraphina, brought a sense of despair to all of them!

Such a number of Fallen Angels far exceeded their imagination!

Wasn’t the Fallen Angel race supposed to be rare?

How could there suddenly be nine of them, all seemingly at diamond-tier strength?

In contrast to Kyrik’s despair, Stanley and the other soldiers were filled with immense joy.

The arrival of Owen and Seraphina had already given them some confidence, as Owen was listed separately by Academy City and was Leslie’s fiancé.

But they never expected Owen to actually bring reinforcements—nine powerful Fallen Angels!

At that moment, the entire army erupted with excitement!

Now, Owen looked at the Fallen Angels surrounding the Kyrik army and nodded with satisfaction.

After communicating with Oya, he hurried to the battlefield, and shortly after his arrival, the Fallen Angels appeared, surrounding the Kyrik army, clearly wasting no time on their way.

“You all did very well today. This is not just for me but also for yourselves. Once Seraphina devours these Crimson Dragons, her strength and bloodline will advance more rapidly,” Owen said with a slight smile to the Fallen Angel beside him.

The Fallen Angel, hearing this, showed little expression, focusing intently on Seraphina.

Seeing that after devouring a Crimson Dragon, Seraphina’s aura and bloodline had indeed become significantly stronger, the Fallen Angel’s expression improved somewhat.

After all, being a Fallen Angel and having to follow the orders of a human was a great humiliation for them.

However, thinking about how Seraphina’s accelerated bloodline growth could more quickly aid the Holy Tree, the feelings of resentment and dislike gradually dissipated.

Then, as if in silent agreement, the nine Fallen Angels launched an assault on the battle formation arranged by Grace from all directions!

They were knowledgeable and understood that the strength of the sixteen Crimson Dragons stemmed from the battle formation, which was Kyrik’s greatest reliance.

Once the formation was breached, the Kyrik army would be thrown into chaos.

As the nine Fallen Angels decisively attacked the battle formation, streams of thick black light burst from their wings, transforming into black streaks that struck the white pillar of light.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each time a black streak hit, it was like a meteor crashing into the earth, producing a deafening explosion.

The white pillar of light shook violently, its surface splattering like liquid, while the lingering black streaks on it corroded the pillar like acid, emitting a piercing “sizzling” sound.

The towering pillar of light, formed by 200,000 elite soldiers over several miles, was instantly covered with black cracks, appearing on the verge of collapse.

The numerous Kyrik soldiers within the pillar were significantly affected, their bodies feeling as if struck by heavy blows, limbs numb, and mana within them trembling.

Even the force of 200,000 elite soldiers could barely withstand the simultaneous attack of the nine Fallen Angels.

Grace and the four deputy generals’ expressions turned extremely grim. They hadn’t expected the Fallen Angels to be so ruthless and overbearing, attacking them immediately upon appearing!

With just one full-force strike, the battle formation was already showing signs of breaking. If this continued, they and their 200,000 troops would be left here forever.

“We can’t let this continue. Split the formation in two, with part of the army holding off the nine Fallen Angels while the rest attack Owen and that snakefolk with all their might!” Grace ordered coldly, quickly issuing commands.

They had no grudges against the Fallen Angels. If they could eliminate Owen and Seraphina, the Fallen Angels might stop attacking the army.

This was the best solution she could think of to break the situation.

Even if the Fallen Angels continued to attack after Owen and Seraphina were killed, at least they would have eliminated these two threats.

The four deputy generals understood Grace’s intention immediately and began relaying the orders through the formation.

Soon, the battle formation, originally like a white full moon, transformed into a black-gold circle, distorting the space around Owen and the nine Fallen Angels, isolating them.

Roar!

After successfully changing the formation, the sixteen Crimson Dragons roared and charged at Owen and Seraphina.

Their tier advancement had significantly boosted their intelligence and bloodline. They knew that if they couldn’t quickly eliminate Owen and Seraphina, they would not stand a chance against so many Fallen Angels.

In desperation, they became even more ferocious, trying to employ a brutal strategy of trading injury for injury to quickly wear down Owen and Seraphina.

However, Owen had already seen through their plan when they started altering the formation. He gently patted Seraphina and imbued her with the Order of Fire.

Seraphina’s fire element was already dominant, but with the enhancement of the Order of Fire, she seemed like a living fire deity.

Her massive body was engulfed in a sea of flames, and the intense heat distorted the surrounding space.

The magical attacks launched by the Crimson Dragons seemed to evaporate and warp as they neared Seraphina, their power greatly diminished by the heat waves.

When they finally struck her resilient fiery scales, they produced only dull thuds before dissipating into mana and vanishing.

Having easily blocked the Crimson Dragons’ attacks, Seraphina began to unleash her own power.

Her enormous tail swept across like a volcanic mountain range, carrying scalding magma, and struck the Crimson Dragons with tremendous force.

Bang!

Some of the Crimson Dragons, unable to dodge in time, bore the brunt of the terrifying impact.

Their bones seemed to shatter instantly, blood gushing from their orifices, leaving them numb, aching, and unable to move.

Seraphina then opened her mouth wide and inhaled like a black hole, drawing the severely injured bodies of the Crimson Dragons into her maw, where she began to chew with a crunching sound.

With Owen’s support, Seraphina cut down and devoured the mana cores of the Crimson Dragons enhanced by the battle formation as if they were mere fruits, further increasing her strength and becoming more formidable in battle.

After several hundred breaths, only six of the original sixteen Crimson Dragons, which had floated around Seraphina and Owen like fiery red stars, remained!

They were covered in wounds, trembling, and had completely lost their previous fighting spirit!
