A dark red figure quickly darted through the New Hope Gathering Place, a gust of bloody wind sweeping past. Its massive form and wild speed created layers of sonic boom clouds, and the explosive currents reverberated everywhere, kicking up a storm of dust and sand.
As a divine beast species, even without being a limit breaker, the wilderness butcher's might is unimaginable for a normal level five lifeform. In fact, it was precisely because of these powerful divine beast species scattered throughout, that they were able to withstand the sporadic limit breaker level demonic creatures from the demonic clan and protect the current territory of Earth during the onset of the demonic tide.
The fierce wind tousled the giant wolf's dark red fur, rising in waves, resembling a majestic and imposing cloak.
The howling gales surrounded the wilderness butcher's body, and the familiar fluctuations of wind attribute energy danced like lively elves next to the wilderness butcher, providing the red giant wolf with unimaginable speed enhancement.
It wasn't until the wilderness butcher came to a halt that it noticed the ominous demonic energy ahead, where dark shadows loomed, and the faint sounds of roars and clashing further intensified the grim atmosphere of the battlefield ahead.
Fortunately, the roars and sounds of battle began to diminish...
The fight had ended swiftly with the demonic creatures achieving complete victory. The fresh scent of blood in the air informed the wolf that all warriors guarding the Barrier's edge, whether human or mutated beast, had perished.
Although the quality of the forces was comparable, the difference in numbers could not be compensated. The battle that had just occurred was merely a one-sided slaughter of dozens against one.
Until the ground beneath began to tremble...
Ahead, at a massive crack in the dark barrier, a towering figure nearly thirty meters high was struggling to push through. Its greenish-gray skin, standing upright with a solid bone armor covering its body, was wielding two massive weapons resembling the legs of ferocious beasts. Its robust frame exuded a formidable aura of blood, and the demonic energy coiling around it only added to the pressure of this humanoid demonic creature.
The bald, blue head slowly lifted, its smooth face devoid of features appearing somewhat eerie. Yet, even as a divine beast species, the wilderness butcher dared not underestimate this strange demonic creature.
Faceless giant beast...
Peak level five!
The armored tank of the demonic clan, truly the vanguard and firepower point of their regular army!
The massive faceless giant beast squeezed through the narrow gap of the dark barrier, its entrance a bit tight for its size but, fortunately, the dark barrier had long lost its energy source and was in ruins.
The collision of its steel-like body with the barrier's edge produced a deafening friction sound, yet in this brutal clash, the faceless giant beast ultimately had the upper hand.
The crack expanded further, and the fully entered faceless giant beast flexed its neck and stomped on the ground, creating a thunderous sound as it strode forward.
Ahead, the demonic creatures that had entered the New Hope Gathering Place before it were lined up neatly, holding the entrance, waiting for reinforcements from behind.
Behind it, another faceless giant beast easily crossed the dark barrier and moved swiftly to keep pace with its fellow creatures ahead! Then another...
In that moment, under the massive military force of the demonic clan, the lone divine beast species appeared so insignificant.
Fortunately, it was not alone; or rather, it had never been alone!
Behind it, clouds of dust swirled as an endless blood-red figure followed closely in the footsteps of the king, stopping right in front of the vanguard of the demonic clan. With both armies facing each other, even the air seemed to freeze.
Until the storm began to rise...
The fierce winds surged around the wilderness butcher, growing stronger until they coalesced into an eerie whirlpool about the height of a person, shimmering with black light inside.
