The warriors at the Northern Outpost felt their beliefs shatter into pieces. The barrier they had trusted so significantly had just broken.
The Golden Ape had just done what they thought was impossible.
Meanwhile, the Golden Ape lifted his fist and stared at it with a puzzled expression for some time.
However, soon, the Golden Ape lifted his head and stared at the humans ahead of him.
As he noticed the shock on their faces, a wide grin spread on his face.
To a human warrior's eyes, that grin was ferocious as a wild beast that threatened to tear him apart.
And immediately after showing off that grin full of excitement and ferociousness, the Golden Ape pounced at the human warriors ahead of him.
As the Golden Ape pounced on them, the human warriors finally regained control over their bodies and realized that they needed to fight or flee.
A few warriors used their attacks simultaneously as the wind bullets and the lightning bullets struck the Golden Ape's body.
However, these attacks didn't even make the Golden Ape's body budge a little. These attacks were absolutely useless in halting the Golden Ape's advance.
Finally, the Golden Ape reached their location and punched the first warrior who stood ahead of him.
The warrior raised his arm and made an X sign to block the Golden Ape's punch, but as soon as the punch landed, the man felt his arm bones shatter as the Golden Ape's punch went on and pierced his chest.
The other warriors were wide-eyed as they saw that occur. They were shocked because this man was a rather mighty 4-Star Warrior from Kloras Town. To think that he couldn't even block a single punch with both his arms…
However, two warriors attacked the Golden Ape at this moment. One wielded a sword, and the other wielded a spear.
"Assault Sword Stance: 33 Hit combo." The man wielding the sword whispered underneath his breath.
Meanwhile, the warrior wielding the spear remained quiet as he emotionlessly went on to strike the Golden Ape.
The Golden Ape looked at those two warriors while pushing away the corpse hanging over his right arm.
The spear warrior was closer as he immediately struck the Golden Ape's arm and pierced it with incredible ease.
The spear warrior had not attacked any random point of the Golden Ape's arm. He had pierced the part that prevented the Golden Ape from moving that arm.
And it was working wonderfully as the Golden Ape realized that he couldn't move his arm.
The other warrior using the sword technique immediately struck the Golden Ape's body with that 33 Hit combo sword stance.
The Golden Ape used his left arm to block a few of those sword slashes, but most of them were still hitting his body.
Suddenly, the Golden Ape's eyes flashed with a dangerous glint as he took a step forward and used his left hand to suddenly grab hold of the sword warrior.
The Golden Ape had just grabbed the sword warrior's head as the sword warrior had shown an opening while attacking him.
As the Golden Ape held that man's head, he slowly began to apply more of his strength in his left hand.
The Sword Warrior's skull began to give out crackling sounds as his face was deforming at a quick rate.
The emotionless look on the spear warrior immediately changed as he pulled his spear out of the Golden Ape's right hand. He threw out his attack at the Golden Ape's throat since this was the only way to save the sword warrior.
The Golden Ape suddenly moved his body and changed his body position so that the sword warrior's body blocked that attack from the spear warrior.
That quick movement from the Golden Ape was absolutely shocking that even the spear warrior needed a few seconds to understand what had happened.
The Golden Ape then applied more force in his left arm as he threw the sword warrior into the spear warrior.
They were skidding on the ground, leaving behind a bloody trail.
The Golden Ape changed his target as he stared at the other warriors.
The other warriors prepared for a fierce fight as they saw that Golden Ape looking at them. Many of them organized their attacks in case this beast attacked them suddenly.
However, what none of them expected was the loud howl of the Three-Eyed White Wolf.
The warriors were forced to turn their heads from the Golden Ape to the incoming Three-Eyed White Wolf and the beast army.
Around this time, the humans from the other outposts had nearly arrived at the northern outpost as well. They were shocked to see that the beasts had already broken past the barrier, and an entire army entered through the barrier.
Several warriors even began to think of an escape plan. They knew that they couldn't fight and win against this beast army with their current numbers.
Meanwhile, using the Echo Transmission Skill, the Northern Outpost's current status was sent to the encampment center.
The man who was sent the information using the Echo Transmission Skill was one of Sophie's guards.
He was absolutely shocked to hear that the beasts had broken past the barrier at the Northern outpost.
Moreover, they were now going to start attacking them all.
The man turned towards the room where Azaroth was seated. He wondered just what was happening… Why did he not activate the killing formation and kill them all?!
Why would he allow the beasts to get inside the barrier?!
Gritting his teeth in anger, the guard went forward to the central command room.
Azaroth raised his head slightly to see who it was that entered the room. As he saw who it was, he smirked slightly as if he knew what was going on and then lowered his head.
The guard clenched his fist in frustration and anger as he went forward, grabbing hold of Azaroth's collar, and questioned him, "Just what is so funny?!"
"Remove your hand or…," Azaroth spoke those words with an emotionless tone.
"Or what?!" The guard spoke as he used even more strength and show off his killing intent.
The guard shouted at Azaroth with great anger, "What are you doing?! How could you let the barrier break?! Why have you not yet activated the killing array?! Are you waiting for the beasts to kill all our allies, you bastard noble heir!"
"Your anger has clouded your mind. If not, you would have felt the consequences by now." Azaroth sighed out as he informed the guard.
"What are you talking about?" The guard asked with a puzzled expression.
"Lower your head and see for yourself." Azaroth casually shrugged.
As the guard looked down, he was shocked to see a hole in the left side of his chest.
He finally began to realize what Azaroth was talking about. And suddenly, he also heard a terrifying whisper, "You are already dead."
Before the guard even had the time to say anything back, the light in his eyes vanished, and his body fell on the floor.
Soon, the smell of blood spread throughout the entire building.
The other two guards who were near Azaroth's room immediately entered to see what had happened.
They were shocked to see Azaroth seated on his chair with that same casual look on his face while one of their friends was lying on the floor.
Moreover, as the guards observed closely, their friend had a hole in his chest, and it seemed as if his heart had been pierced.
They both asked at nearly the exact timing, "What happened here?!"
Azaroth glanced at them before sighing, "Looks like it's more blood on my hands."
"What?!" Once again, they both asked him at the same time.
"Phantom Step."
Azaroth disappeared from his location and was standing in the corridor. Meanwhile, the two guards who stood near the entrance of his room had been beheaded.
Azaroth looked at the sword in his hand now. It was quite a bit rusty and frail now.
"3 down, 3 to go," Azaroth whispered to himself as he went back to his room.
Those three corpses were destroyed using the Hell Flames.
Meanwhile, the scenery at the Northern Outpost wasn't all that pleasant.
Nearly all the warriors had turned into corpses by that massive beast army led by the Three-Eyed White Wolf.
Even Myles and his group had turned into corpses…
The ones who had survived were the Aiden's group. This was mainly because Aiden had already observed the situation from a distance and immediately led his disciples away from that battleground.
Azaroth did sense that they were going somewhere else he hadn't planned, but he didn't care. He put down the barrier around the encampment.
This didn't mean he was surrendering against the beast army.
The bluish-colored sphere had now turned into green color.
A thin green-colored gas was released in the entire encampment… It was undetectable even by the beasts with sharp senses such as the Three-Eyed White Wolf.
