Malevolent – Chapter 47 – Vassal of Sky, Myriadface Specter Avian

In this operation to search for the Divine-Graced Maiden,

What Xestila feared most was the intervention of high-level corrupted beasts.

It should be known that the Covenant’s three most powerful Celestial Augur Knights were tied up on the northern battlefield due to their fight with the Vassal of Sky lineage.

Although the troops led by Xestila possessed terrifying firepower, without the Celestial Augur Knights participating in battle, once they encountered a Vassal Tier corrupted beast, the consequences would be disastrous.

For this reason, the search operation commanded by Xestila had always been cautious, deeply afraid of stimulating the monsters in the Veiled Domain.

Indeed,

They hadn’t stimulated the monsters in the Veiled Domain.

But those who had their eyes on the Divine-Graced Maiden weren’t just the Terrabond Lineage of Earth…

…

—

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh~”

Fierce winds howled,

With the spread of a spine-chilling curse power, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and the surrounding atmosphere became oppressive and heavy.

Sensing the terrifying energy fluctuations, Xestila’s face immediately changed drastically, and she, along with the soldiers, abruptly looked up.

Only to see an eerie air current spiraling upward, dark shadows rapidly gathering in the sky, as if the entire sky had been torn apart. Then, a huge figure suddenly descended from the sky, like a demon descending from mythology, bringing an indescribable sense of oppression.

“Damn it…”

Staring at the figure in the sky, Xestila bitterly clenched her fists.

At this moment,

Reαd on KаtReαԁіոɡСаfе

What entered Xestila’s eyes was a massive bird-shaped corrupted beast.

Its body was pale white, its skin withered like dead ash, emanating a decaying aura, like an evil spirit crawling out from the depths of hell.

Its two pairs of wings were enormous, blocking the entire sky when spread out, its dark shadow almost enveloping all living beings around. However, rather than calling them wings, they were more like countless rotting, ferocious human faces joined together. The faces were twisted, their mouths slightly open, as if wailing in pain. The eyes of those human faces were filled with fear and agony, wrinkles and blood intertwined, emitting a distorted image that was unbearable to look at directly.

The bird head of the corrupted beast was even more spine-chilling, its huge beak emanating coldness, as sharp as a blade. On top of its head, countless tentacles squirmed, each tentacle’s end connected to a distorted human head. The eyes of those heads were extremely hollow, as if they had lost all signs of life, yet they were full of malice like the eyes of the dead. Their mouths were open, emitting a silent cry, seemingly calling for help, but more like a curse.

When this terrifying corrupted beast descended,

It brought not only a suffocating curse power pressure but also endless horror. The surrounding air seemed to tremble because of its existence, and the battle-hardened soldiers nearby couldn’t help but have their heartbeats rapidly accelerate, their faces turning pale, even breathing becoming difficult.

Not just these soldiers,

Even Marshal Xestila, instinctively trembled all over.

Hein-Anloxi!!

You bastard!!

You deliberately used the Valkyrie Battalion to lure this monster over?!

All at once, a strong atmosphere of unease began to spread rapidly through the army like a virus.

……..

Staring at the bird monster that had suddenly descended, Ailiya instinctively took a step back, the unease in her cherry-colored eyes continuously growing. Not to mention Miya and Weiya, who, after feeling this terrifying killing intent, had tears welling up in their eyes.

Noticing her sisters’ emotional changes, Ailiya gripped her two sisters’ small hands tightly.

“It’s okay, big sister is here…”

After this reassurance, Ailiya tremblingly looked forward.

“What exactly is this thing?”

“Myriadface Specter Avian.”

Hein said calmly.

Compared to the shocked and frightened people around, Hein seemed much calmer. Not only that, but his smile became increasingly ferocious and terrifying, making even Ailiya feel a sense of unfamiliarity and unease.

“My-Myriadface Specter Avian?”

“Yes, or you can call it Myriadface Avian… the Guardian Beast of Celestial Blight Ulutiel, a Vassal Tier corrupted beast.”

“Celestial Blight? Vassal Tier?”

Silently repeating the terms Hein had just mentioned, Ailiya asked in confusion:

“Why, why would the Celestial Blight’s vassal appear here?”

However,

With Ailiya’s voice, before Hein could answer, Ailiya was first met with the gaze of the Myriadface Avian.

It was an incredibly cold and chilling gaze, as if it penetrated the air, directly locking onto Ailiya and the twins.

Those dark-colored eyes contained not a trace of human warmth, only bottomless darkness. Every inch of the gaze seemed to tear at her soul, carrying a strong sense of oppression and irresistible malice.

!!

The moment she was locked onto by that gaze, Ailiya only felt a chill racing from her spine to her limbs, her body involuntarily beginning to tremble. That fear was like a cold wind in the darkness, silently permeating every inch of her skin, eroding her rationality and courage. Her heart was racing uncontrollably, as if it might be crushed by this pressure at any moment, the feeling of being unable to breathe almost suffocating her.

Although the curse power pressure released by the Myriadface Avian was far less than Gaia Lobir’s, that malice and evil from the depths of the soul was even more intense than Gaia Lobir’s.

And just as Ailiya was feeling terrified,

The Myriadface Avian slightly narrowed its eyes,

In those eerie dark-colored eyes, a hint of excitement actually seeped out.

The next moment,

Under the tense gaze of countless people, one of the human heads connected to the bird’s head quietly opened its mouth:

——”Raoraorao~ Found you~”——

This monster?!

It’s coming for us!!

Hearing this, the fear in Ailiya’s heart escalated further, to the extent that the girl’s body became unable to move.

And at this moment,

Hein, after a sinister smile, directly took advantage of everyone’s attention being focused on the Myriadface Avian, immediately released all the spiritual energy in his body, and used it to envelop himself and Ailiya and her sisters.

Then,

Hein, carrying Ailiya and the twins, suddenly transformed into a blue meteor and rushed toward the distance.

“Uncle Hein?!!”

“Don’t ask too much, my dear Ailiya, the most important thing now is to leave here.”

“This…”

…

On the other side,

Seeing Hein escaping with his target, one of the human heads of the Myriadface Avian slowly split open its mouth, revealing a spine-chilling smile.

“Raorao? Trying to escape?”

A human from the Divine Martial Realm,

Wants to escape with his target?

How presumptuous…

After disdainfully narrowing its eyes, the Myriadface Avian suddenly spread its wings.

The huge wings shook in the air, the previously drooping wings rapidly unfolding.

With a tremendous screech, the Myriadface Avian suddenly pounced into the air, its massive bird head looking down, its wings wielded like blades, bringing fierce winds, sweeping through everything. Its target was locked onto Hein and the Ailiya sisters, the aura of death rapidly approaching like thunder.

However,

Just as the Myriadface Avian was about to start its pursuit, powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted around it.

“Hmm?”

Then, the surrounding sky was suddenly broken by a deafening roar.

The army, which had momentarily fallen into a daze due to the descent of the Myriadface Avian, finally launched a counterattack. Dense artillery from the ground suddenly opened fire, heavy shells with air-splitting power slammed into the Myriadface Avian head-on. The explosion of the shells was deafening, the intense light and fire intertwining, like a terrifying hellish storm.

“Release all firepower!! Hold back this monster for me!!”

Sword pointing at the Myriadface Avian,

Seemingly having made some kind of determination, Marshal Xestila issued the attack order in a hoarse voice at this moment.
