Chapter 5424
The winged soul knelt before Soul Devourer, one knee striking stone. “Caiden Mcintyre reports,” it rasped, voice edged with vengeance. “The ancestors of your so-called kingdom once chained me within this abyss. That debt is blood-deep. Grant me leave, and I will see their nation burned to dust beside you.”
Surprise flickered across Soul Devourer’s hollow gaze, quickly replaced by feral glee. “Caiden! My fiercest general lives yet.” He spread both arms, cloak snapping in the wind. “With you at my side, I become a blade made sharper still.”
He spun, voice booming over the abyss like a war-horn. “All demonic souls-scatter through level six. Hunt down every survivor. Any who resist, kill without mercy. Any who submit may live, but they live as my slaves.”
“We obey!”
The answering cry-hundreds of thousands strong-shook the very clouds.
A moment later, the Demonic Soul Army surged outward like a black tide, overtopping the lip of the Netherworld Abyss and pouring toward the distant walls of Celestia City.
Wings beat toward the eastern mountains. Shadows spilled across the western plains. Dark specks peppered the southern seas. In the span of a breath, every corner of level six lay beneath a moving night.
