Necromancer Of The Shadows - Chapter 973

Chapter 973: Hellgate Fortress
Hellgate Fortress is located on the northern borders of the Gehenna Empire. This fortress was specifically created to defend the empire against attacks from the monsters of the Boundless Ocean.

The number of marine monsters that live in the Boundless Ocean is astonishing, so it was crucial to create this fortress in case the monsters from the Boundless Ocean suddenly launched an attack.

At this moment, in one of the rooms of the Hellgate Fortress, a black-skinned demon was sleeping cosily on a fluffy bed.

The name of the black-skinned demon was Ipos, and he was the commander of the Hellgate Fortress.

“Hehehe…” In his sleep, Ipos was laughing like an idiot as if he was having a good dream.

*Ring *Ring – – – – –

Suddenly, loud sirens started to ring out throughout the Hellgate Fortress, startling Ipos, who immediately woke up from his deep sleep.

“Fu*k, that succubus was about to take me to the pinnacle of life, but these sirens…” Ipos cursed with a venomous look on his face and quickly stood up from the bed.

He put on his clothes and immediately left the room, knowing that something must have happened; otherwise, the person in charge wouldn’t have rung the siren.

Soon, Ipos arrived in the command centre of the Hellgate Fortress and saw that everyone present was panicking, and the entire command room was in a state of chaos.

“Silence!” Ipos was enraged when he saw this and roared while releasing his aura of a peak Rank Four core evolver.

Feeling Ipos’s frightening aura, everyone in the room immediately stopped and looked at him.

Ipos walked into the room with a cold look on his face and asked one of the demons, “What’s going on? Who rang the alarm and why are you all panicking?”

“Commander, something terrifying is coming towards us at rapid speed,” The demon Ipos was looking at answered in a nervous voice.

On the large screen inside the room, a golden beam was shown moving towards them.

Ipos narrowed his eyes when he saw the golden beam and asked in a serious voice, “What is its energy level?”

Hearing Ipos’s question, all the demons in the room turned silent. When he didn’t receive an answer, Ipos looked back at the demon and his eyes flashed with killing intent.

“Didn’t you hear? I asked you a question?” Feeling Ipos’s killing intent, the demon’s body trembled, and he replied in a trembling voice,

“Si-sir, it’s Rank Six… The energy level of this thing is mid-level Rank Six.”

Ipos’s eyes widened in disbelief when he heard the demon and he almost dropped to the ground from the shock.

Mid-level Rank Six!

‘Are you kidding me…’ Ipos cursed inwardly and checked the power level of the golden beam himself.

Upon seeing that the demon was telling the truth, his face turned deathly pale, and he bellowed at the demons present in the room.

“What the hell are all of you motherf*ckers doing? Quickly activate the defence formation if you don’t want to meet your ancestors.”

Hearing Ipos, all the demons came back to their senses and quickly took their positions. Soon, a giant formation lit up underground and the entire Hellgate Fortress was covered in a blue-coloured barrier.

Ipos and several higher-level demons moved swiftly to the northern front of the fortress and waited for the arrival of the golden beam.

“Commander, I don’t think we need to worry too much,” A shrewd-looking demon with narrowed eyes spoke in a low voice as they waited.

Hearing the demon, Ipos looked at him and asked in a serious voice.

“What do you mean?”

The shrewd-looking demon gazed into the distance and replied in a deep voice.

“Hellgate Fortress is part of the Gehenna Empire. Attacking the fortress means declaring war against the empire. Do you think anyone would dare wage war against us?”

Hearing the shrewd demon, Ipos’s eyes flashed, and his heart calmed down a little.

‘Indeed, with the current prestige of His Majesty, only a fool would dare to attack us,’ Ipos thought and sighed in relief.

Although Ipos calmed down after hearing the shrewd-looking demon, he did not deactivate the defence formation.

About five minutes later, the demons saw the golden beam of light slice through the air and stop just above the Hellgate Fortress.

ROAR!

A majestic dragon’s roar resounded over thousands of kilometers and a world-crushing pressure descended upon the Hellgate Fortress.

Rumble!

The entire fortress shook under the pressure released by the mid-level Rank Six light dragon, causing the weaker demons to faint on the spot.

If not for the protection of the defence formation, the entire fortress would have already been destroyed by the dragon’s aura.

The faces of Ipos and the other demons standing at the front of the Hellgate Fortress turned pale white and all of them were shaking in fear.

Just by feeling the hostile aura of the dragon, all of them could tell that it did not come for a peaceful conversation.

Seeing the blue-coloured barrier covering the entire Hellgate Fortress, a look of disdain flashed in the dragon’s golden eyes as it opened its mouth.

The moment Dragon opened its mouth, a sense of doom engulfed every single demon inside the Hellgate Fortress.

“Fu*k, why the hell is this dragon attacking us?” Ipos roared with an agitated look on his face and turned to flee deeper into the Hellgate Fortress.

As Ipos turned to flee, someone suddenly struck his right leg, causing him to stagger and drop to the ground.

Ipos looked up to see the shrewd-looking demon running at rapid speed as his voice echoed in his ears.

“Commander, stop its attack for a moment so I can escape.”

“You…” Hearing the demon, Ipos was so angry that his black skin turned red with rage.

He tried to stand up and escape, but the moment he stood up…

ROAR!

A thunderous dragon roar resounded within thousands of kilometres, and the mid-level Rank Six Light Dragon shot its Light Dragon’s Breath toward the fortress.

The entire fortress was lit up with golden light as the dragon’s breath, carrying immense power collided against the barrier.

The moment the dragon’s breath collided with the barrier, the barrier melted like ice and the dragon’s breath engulfed the entire fortress, wiping out every single demon within it.

After destroying the fortress, the Light Dragon once again roared and finally entered the borders of the Gehenna Empire, heading straight towards the capital city where Baphomet’s castle was located.
