Chapter 530: Chapter 524: Divine Protection Squad

As they approached Mapleborough Village, the smell of blood in the air became thicker, and Greenox’s face grew more serious.

“Be careful, my lord. It seems that a Bloody Beast has slaughtered the people in the village!”

“Bloody Beast?”

David Jones looked at the village not far away, where faint white smoke slowly rose.

Apparently, the village was under attack just as the villagers were preparing to cook.

As David came nearer, he saw that the fences around the village had been shattered, as if struck by a powerful beast, and large amounts of blood and shattered limbs still clung to the wooden fence.

At the center of the village, the head of the Dragon God Statue that guarded the villagers from disasters had vanished, and debris littered the ground.

Behind the statue, more than a hundred blood-drained, withered corpses lay piled together, forming a mountain of bodies, attracting swarms of flies in the air.

“They didn’t spare even the children?”

Seeing all the headless corpses, David’s face turned cold.

“It’s a Skull-Picking Bloody Beast! Only such a demonic, heartless creature would dare to destroy the statue of Dragon God and take away the heads of the dead!” Greenox exclaimed in astonishment.

The Skull-Picking Bloody Beast was a notoriously difficult Demonic Beast to kill—a disaster that only a group of Ghost King Elites could eradicate together. Even a major city like Silver-Abyssal City would be thrown into chaos if a Skull-Picking Bloody Beast appeared and would need to mobilize a large number of powerful experts for a crackdown. Mapleborough Village would not stand a chance.

“These Demonic Beasts are truly audacious to break the statue of the Guardian Dragon God,” David murmured.

“This Bloody Beast is seeking its death! The domain of Umbral is vast. Though the Dragon God has boundless power and its divine strength pervades the entire nation, the excessive distribution of its power would still decrease its strength,”

Greenox angrily said, “Mapleborough Village is too small, and the offering prayers are limited. If this happened in Silver-Abyssal City, the moment the Skull-Picking Bloody Beast touched the Dragon God Statue, it would be reduced to ashes, with no trace left!”

Upon hearing this, David felt a stir in his heart.

It seemed his conjecture was right—the Guardian Dragon God’s power was not endless; it required the prayers and offerings of the ghosts to display enough might.

“By defying and destroying the Dragon God’s statue, the Skull-Picking Bloody Beast is certain to die within three days under the siege of Team Kamui,” Greenox said indignantly.

Just then, a gust of wind came from the sky, and a roaring sound arrived from the distant mountains.

“There are powerful experts fighting nearby.” David and Greenox exchanged glances before rushing towards the source of the sound.

“Boom!”

About ten dark shadows blocked a blood-red figure, launching their attacks in turn, and buying time for the experts riding flying dragons.

Greenox looked at the commanding officer and revealed a trace of envy.

“As expected, Team Kamui has arrived!”

Team Kamui was a Dragon God guard team stationed in cities at the city level or above. Their primary duty was to defend the majesty of the God Spirit, referred to as Team Kamui.

Anyone who defaced a Dragon God statue would leave the mark of blasphemy on them, making them a target for the relentless pursuit of Team Kamui.

If Silver-Abyssal City’s Team Kamui could not eliminate the defier, then the great city would dispatch a stronger Team Kamui to execute the target.

As a result, even the rebels that appeared on the edges of Umbral dared not touch the Dragon God Statues, instead questioning the legitimacy of the Umbral Empress in areas unrelated to the God Spirit.

“What a magnificent flying dragon!”

David paid no attention to the ghost experts on the flying dragons, focusing entirely on the five-meter-tall Crimson Wyvern with its body covered in hard dragon scales, a dragon’s mouth flickering with fierce flames while it ruthlessly bit the Skull-Picking Bloody Beast.

“Pet Name”: Crimson Wyvern

“Pet Type”: Fire

“Species Level”: King

“Grade”: Sixth Stage Middle Rank

“Species Skill”: Dragon Flame, Burning Explosion, Dragon Strike, Flame Burst

“Pet Profile”: The head of Crimson Wyvern has heatwave characteristics, which can burst into intense high temperatures and is a stronger weapon than dragon claws.

“As a half-dragon, the Crimson Wyvern’s strength is not only stronger than the Blackwater Dragon, it’s no wonder it can suppress the Crimson Mysterious Beast!” thought David Jones to himself.

Yes, that’s right. The Skull Beast mentioned by Greenox is actually the Crimson Mysterious Beast.

At this moment, the leading general glances at David Jones’s direction, and the speed of his long spear increases dramatically, instantly piercing the Skull Beast’s chest with lightning and flint speed.

“Boom!”

A deafening explosion sounds, and a large hole appears in the once fierce Skull Beast’s chest.

“Zi Zi!”

According to reason, because of the undying nature of the Crimson Mysterious Beast, the flesh and blood of Skull Beast’s chest should heal quickly. However, the handgun of Team Kamui’s leader seems to conceal a force that restrains the Mysterious Beast.

Skull Beast’s healing speed is far slower than the damage caused by the enemy. Thus, after dozens of rounds, its massive body is covered with dozens of flaming wounds.

Next second, the general turns around, the flames on Skull Beast’s body explode all at once, and the terrifying high temperature burns it to ashes.

“Interesting! According to Audrey, only trainers using Origin Star Fire can completely kill Mysterious Beasts and cause them to lose their immortality. It seems now, however, that there is also a specific way to deal with Mysterious Beasts in Silver-Abyssal City!” David Jones strokes his chin.

“General Brown is invincible!”

Seeing the general completely kill the blasphemer, the Team Kamui soldiers assisting him suddenly shouted proudly.

No wonder he is a rare genius in Silver-Abyssal City. Even the formidable Skull Beast, requiring several Ghost King Level Experts to subdue, was easily killed by General Brown.

As the soldiers celebrate, General Brown picks up his long spear, and the Crimson Wyvern underneath him spits out scorching flames which cling to the spear to increase its power. Then, he throws the spear heavily in the direction where David Jones is hiding.

“Team Kamui is handling the case here, which bold peeper dares to spy!”

A simple sentence from General Brown fills the air around him with the tangible murderous intent, and the surging murderous intent floods towards David Jones overwhelmingly.

“Sir, be careful.” Greenox’s heart wildly pounds, and his body reflexively blocks in front of David Jones, raising his fist and tightening his muscles.

Although the Team Kamui leader in the distance is unbelievably strong and not an opponent, Healer Sir is his hope for repairing his hidden injuries and breaking through to the Ghost King level.

As a guard, he cannot just watch others attack his master!

“Step back!”

With just a casual slap, David Jones forces Greenox, who blocked in front of him, to fall behind.

Then, his right palm clenches into a fist, and the terrifying power of the Ghost Deity’s enhancement continuously surges from his body.

“Don’t do it!”

At David Jones’s command, Rainbow stops moving and can only watch her trainer show off.

“Yes, it’s this kind of power, the power to destroy a Sixth Order King!”

David Jones takes a step forward, appearing in front of the flaming spear as if by instant teleportation.

His huge fist meets the imposing spear under the cold gaze of General Brown, and knocks down the spear with a single punch.
