Duang, Xiaoi and Shu, what is happening? Are you telling me this is a castle? What's going on? How did I end up in the wrong place? Du Yang in disbelief turned back towards the portal behind him.

This is the city of the undead, Jack rasped.

Xiao Inshua suddenly recalled how Bayou had eagerly rushed to gather resources with all the royal level allies after they conquered each city.

This suggests a possibility.

Could it be that towns at maximum level are transformed into fortresses? Although Xiaoa was astonished, she quickly deduced the reason.

Reluctant Ble Duang Halt accepting this new reality.

Why was she with only an eighth level town able to develop so rapidly? We don't need to leave the city.

Our destination is the Emerald Hills.

And we must use the portal.

Xiao Yinshi called out to Du Yang, setting the portal's destination and gesturing invitingly.

Silently, Du Yang led the two demons into the portal with Xiao Yiani and Jack promptly following.

Meanwhile, in the Emerald Hills, the undead and orcs had already engaged in battle.

For Orc, royal level warriors had taken action.

Had they not encountered the undead for the first time, the two royal undead would have perished countless times already.

The Orc leader confidence transformed into confusion as he searched for the weaknesses of this undead horde.

Hapne State had no undead, and the orcs had never ventured beyond its borders, nor had they ever heard of such creatures.

emerging from the portal within the castle.

Duang had completely forgotten his earlier frustration and soared into the sky to observe the clash between the orcs and the undead.

Where the undead? Why are there so few of them? Where are the royal ones? Noticing only five royal level undead on the opposing side, Duang wondered why the undead needed him.

Was it truly because they were aware of his recent upgrade? Xiaoin expressed her ignorance regarding the whereabouts of those royal level beings.

And by you? Where has she gone? Duang breast said for I don't know.

Xiao Yinshi replied helplessly.

Aren't you her subordinate? How can you not know anything? Du Yang disregarded her and charged towards the enemy with his two demons.

Du Yong quickly spotted the royal orc hiding behind the others.

That must be their leader.

Without hesitation, he charged towards the orc leader.

Xiao Inshua positioned herself outside the castle to observe the rare spectacle of such a grand battle among royal level beings.

Du Yang transformed into a streak of black light, extending his arms in a claws, his fingers morphing into blackened skin with elongated nails.

He envisioned the scene of his strike piercing through the leader's chest.

The orc leader hefted a bone weapon onto his shoulder, his eyes glowing with green light.

Muscles bulging as he met Du Yang<unk>s attack head-on.

Bang! A shadow darted swiftly, and Du Yang was forcefully slammed to the ground.

The tremendous impact, creating a large crater upon his landing.

Stunned, Du Yang struggled to extract his limbs embedded in the earth.

His right arm hung limply, having been broken by the opposing force.

Du Yang rose to his feet, his face smeared with soot, and in that moment, his right hand healed.

He stretched his limbs, which felt as if they might fall apart.

"By you, I could truly believe your nonsensical words.

You call this a slight enhancement? Well, it suits me perfectly.

" Duyangs skin began to darken.

A pair of black wings and a tail sprouted from his back, and two black horns emerged from his head, while his original eyes transformed entirely into a blood red hue.

Drawing his weapon, Du Yang ascended slowly into the sky, gazing down at the distant orchieft.

In the next instant, he surged forward with the swiftness of lightning.

I have become the embodiment of true darkness.

Chapter 258.

Repelling the orcs, Duong transformed into his complete demonic form and charged once more at the orc chieftain with a resounding crash.

He was once again sent flying.

Yet this time, he was not as disheveled as before.

At the very least, he was not embedded in the earth.

In midair, Du Yang swiftly adjusted his posture and upon glancing back at the orc chieftain was taken aback.

Perhaps it is time to seek some assistance.

A soft voice from Xiao Leinshua, who was observing from a distance, broke the tension.

She bore no contempt for Du Yang.

Rather, she believed that the adversary was far too formidable, making victory seem elusive.

However, Du Yang held a different perspective.

Upon hearing her words, he shot her an irritated glance.

Silence.

Just watch.

I can handle this.

With that declaration, Du Yong surged forward once more.

This time, he refrained from reckless charges.

Recognizing he was no match in a straightforward confrontation, he resolved to utilize his abilities to wear down his opponent.

Although a less glamorous approach to victory, it was still a triumph.

Xiao Linuide, pondering why he was so obstinate.

While she could not discern the precise disparity in strength between Du Yong and the Orc chieftain, the fact that he had been repelled twice was a clear indication of the mismatch.

Du Yong unleashed his demonic domain, concentrating deathly power into his blade.

A massive black sword light cleaved towards the orc chieftain.

The chieftain appeared devoid of any extraordinary abilities.

No matter how Du Yang attacked, he exhibited no flamboyance.

Even when Du Yangs strike evoked a sense of unease, the chieftain met it with his weapon.

To Du Yangs astonishment, his dark blade could not penetrate the chieftain's seemingly ordinary bone weapon.

Regardless of Du Yang<unk>s aerial assault from various angles, the Orc chieftain remained steadfast, responding with calm composure.

This infuriated Du Yang, causing the crimson glow in his eyes to intensify.

He was able to summon the powers of his 12 demons.

And at this moment, that power was fueled by rage.

Under the influence of the demons, Du Yang<unk>s body was imbued with 12 distinct emotions in proportion, subtly affecting his character, though not overwhelmingly so.

For otherwise, a normal individual would have succumbed to madness long ago.

This marked his first time harnessing the strength of his underlings.

His form began to change, limbs becoming more robust while his tail and wings vanished and his skin transformed from black to deep crimson.

Duong descended from sky, delivering a powerful punch toward the orc chieftain, who raised his weapon in an attempt to block with a resounding thud to the chieftain surprise.

Duyang<unk>s strength had suddenly intensified, causing the orc to stagger back a step as the tremors reverberated through his hands.

The chieftain was momentarily perplexed.

While Du Yang<unk>s hands became bloodied, crimson droplets cascading downward.

Without pausing, Du Yang pressed forward with all his might.

This time, the two engaged in a fierce clash on the ground.

Although Du Yang remained at a disadvantage, his condition was marketkedly improved compared to when he was previously struck down by the Orc chieftain.

Undaunted by pain and disregarding his own injuries, he traded blows with the orc chieftain, soon inflicting some minor wounds upon the chieftain, which while not severe, left him in a state of disarray.

On the other side, the two demons brought by Du Yang adeptly alleviated the pressure exerted by the two undead, transforming a four-on- two scenario into an even four-on- four.

In a one-on-one confrontation, both the undead and demons held a distinct advantage.

The undead stationed here were not mere necromancers, but two formidable liches.

Xiao Yianua exhaled in relief.

As long as Du Yang could withstand the onslaught, they would be able to eliminate those orc warriors and subsequently besiege the opposing leader, which Xiao Yinua believed would significantly tilt the odds in their favor.

As for the battle between the undead and the orc horde, the orcs relied solely on brute strength.

While the undying nature of the undead rendered them impervious to defeat, despite their smaller numbers, they were far from being manageable by these orcs.

Retreat, the orc leader bellowed, immediately unleashing his domain.

In an instant, explosions erupted all around, forcing Du Yang to retreat.

The other four royal ranks seized the opportunity provided by their leader s cover to disengage from the fry and commence their withdrawal.

The orc leader was not foolish.

He realized that the enemy could not be vanquished and persisting would only incur further losses to his tribe.

With the tide of battle now uncertain, the Orc leader had lost his previous confidence.
