Volume 8, Chapter 20 – Outbreak

Chaos, desire, slaughter, hatred, violence.

Demons are exactly such a group of existences that are both complex and singular.

They are complex because of the variability of their thoughts. They are singular because of their pure and unadulterated evil nature.

『So, it finally began?』

Three days had already passed.

Now, under Tianyin’s series of pushes and provocations, a tremendous upheaval finally erupted within the demon camp. As a series of Demon Lords met unnatural deaths, the murderous desire in the hearts of some irritable Demon Lords could no longer be suppressed.

Indeed, the deaths of those later Demon Lords were not directly caused by Tianyin. But one way or another, Tianyin had still intervened. Not only that, the Demon Lords who stirred up the riot were in fact also secretly lured by Tianyin.

Although the power of Lust could not control emotions other than those directed at herself, Tianyin was able to use the power of Lust to perceive the true thoughts within the hearts of those Demon Lords.

Because of this, to a certain extent, Demon Lords laid bare all of their secrets in front of Tianyin without any reservation. Tianyin only needed to act upon these secrets to completely ignite the contradictions within the camp.

As for what kind of secrets could enrage demons, they were actually very simple.

Some Demon Lords were relatively greedy and would carry large amounts of wealth on their person. What Tianyin did was simply to “secretly” take those valuables away.

Not only that, there were also some Demon Lords with extremely violent temperaments, the type that would fight others to the death over the slightest disagreement.

Such Demon Lords were generally ones no demon dared to provoke. And Tianyin, as the hidden instigator, just happened to leave the aura of those violent Demon Lords at the scene while stealing the valuables.

Simply put, what Tianyin did was frame others.

Although such schemes were not exactly presentable, for Demon Lords who already distrusted each other deeply and lacked any real trust, this was a fatal blow.

Without a doubt, Tianyin’s simple act of framing succeeded.

A true conflict erupted among the Demon Lords. And conflicts between legendary-tier existences would naturally not be limited to verbal sparring.

Thus, at the very moment the conflict broke out, the Demon Lords directly began fighting within the camp.

And precisely because Legendary-tier beings fought within the camp, large numbers of ordinary demons were swept up in the battles between legends. For a time, those demon troops closer to the “battlefield” suffered devastating losses.

Yet the deaths of vast numbers of demon soldiers could not stop this riot that had already begun. On the contrary, as massive casualties mounted, demon troops that had not yet been affected also descended into chaotic and bloody infighting.

Yes, infighting.

More accurately, the massive deaths of demon soldiers directly stimulated the chaotic “personalities” hidden deep within the demons’ bloodlines.

Death released their instincts that had previously been suppressed by the Abyssal Lord. And demons whose instincts were unleashed completely disregarded the fact that they were still facing the massive army of the Northern Fortress.

『Hah… these past few days of effort weren’t wasted after all. The army of Inferno has finally fallen into internal strife~』

Standing high in the sky and looking down at the demon camp that had already sunk into endless flames, Tianyin’s heart was instead chillingly calm.

『The demons of Inferno deserve no pity. And right now, this can be said to be our best opportunity, Samael.』

As she spoke, Tianyin shifted her gaze toward the direction of the Northern Fortress.

Over there, a cavalry force clad in exquisite armor and riding steeds likewise covered in war gear was charging this way.

And at this moment, if Tianyin were to sense carefully, she would discover that the one leading this cavalry was the Knight Princess with dazzling golden long hair—Fisiel.

『It seems Fisiel has also noticed what’s happening here. Immediately leading the cavalry to deal with these demon forces shows remarkable awareness.』

Tianyin truly had not anticipated what would happen after the abnormal change erupted in the camp.

However, after the chaos began, Fisiel immediately led her forces to launch an attack. This was something Tianyin found very satisfying.

This way, the demon army would suffer heavy casualties in this battle. Not only that, it could also greatly raise the morale of their own forces.

There were many benefits to defeating the demon army. And if this battle truly ended in victory, then the enemies Dawn would have to face afterward would be far fewer.

Of course, that being said, in reality, the number of Inferno’s demon army was far greater than Tianyin had imagined.

The difficulty Tianyin needed to face was not a conventional one. In Inferno, the number of demons was practically endless.

And here, even though they had fallen into chaos earlier, as the riot gradually subsided, the heavily wounded demon forces began to regain their senses.

Demons were not stupid.

On the contrary, when their own interests were at stake, those Demon Lords who had stubbornly held onto certain positions astonishingly abandoned their previous stances.

Although the reasons behind this were well worth pondering, Tianyin had no interest in investigating them at the moment.

Of course, those were matters for later. Right now, outside the Northern Fortress, the demon camp had already fallen into a sea of flames. And beyond the flames, the knight army led by Fisiel had arrived at the outskirts.

“The army of Inferno does not know what caused it to become so chaotic. But for us, this is a foolproof opportunity. This time, we must go all out and completely crush the demon army before us!”

Fisiel’s objective was extremely clear.

Just as she had said, to crush the army of Inferno.

Reαd oո KatRеаԁiոɡСαfе

The reason she said crush rather than kill or annihilate was because of Fisiel’s astonishing combat intuition.

Fisiel, who possessed intuition, could instinctively sense danger.

Not only great danger. Even when someone harbored malice toward her, Fisiel could detect it. Of course, this ability also had its limits. This ability was not limited to malicious intent alone. Even Tianyin’s overwhelming strength could be sensed by Fisiel.

However, Tianyin would not make a move against Fisiel. Within Fisiel’s perception, the existence that gave her the strongest sense of danger was Tianyin.

“Holy Light!”

“Punishing Strike!”

“Charge!”

As they drew closer and closer to the demon camp, Fisiel, leading the knight army, could no longer hold back and directly issued combat orders.

As a series of attack commands were given, the already chaotic demon camp descended into even greater disorder.
