"The mist here is strange."
As the White Emperor Mask's owner, Yun Xi could control all mists in this world. Naturally, he sensed something unusual in the mist.
The mist not only contained the Water God's smell. There was something else inside it.
From the very first day Yun Xi came to this world, he could feel the Water God's love for this world.
There were sweet spring waters and delicious fruits all over this world. The land so was fertile, where anyone could feed the population ten times or more.
If there wasn't any Mist Tide in this world, the Water God's world could be more beautiful and peaceful.
"I have a bad feeling. Maybe we are still too slow." Yun Que's sharp eyes were looking at some strange creatures who were wandering around on the edge of the mist.
These creatures had green bodies. No, it wasn't the crystal green of the common slimes', but a much darker, mud like green. Apart from this, their bodies were also too huge that they couldn't hide in the mist.
"Are they giant slimes?" These strange green slimes were all as big as a small hill. The smallest giant slime was about ten metres tall, and the biggest giant slime was over thirty metres tall. The most important thing was: they were eating each other and becoming much bigger!
Yun Xi could imagine what would happen if they left the Island of Mist.
They were not as harmless as the common green slimes. Their huge bodies would become a big moving disaster to the people in this world.
"Let's fight." Yun Que drew her black long bow.
They had done everything they could do, and now, it was time to fight!
Only the victor could obtain the future.
This world didn't need two godlike beings!
Between the Water God and the Sky Sword, only one of them could become this world's master!
"Open the door. My brides, come to this world!" Yun Xi stretched out his hand and waved in the air.
A mist door appeared and opened behind him.
A well-organized Mist Soul Army walked out of the mist door behind Yun Xi. The Mist Souls floated in the air, above the limitless sea surface.
4/5 of them were humans and 1/5 of them were sea demons. They were all Yun Xi's brides.
The totally number of Yun Xi's Mist Soul Brides was 1,001,370. They were the last result of Yun Que's Expansion Plan of A Million Brides.
In the front of Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's Slime Army, only Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army had the possibility to defeat them all!
"Attack the enemies!" Yun Que took a glance at the Dark Elf in the center of the Mist Soul Army, then moved her eyes back and drew the longbow in her hand.
Countless Red Lotus Arrows shot to the giant slimes from Yun Que's longbow.
"..." The Dark Elf Mist Soul raised the black sword in her hand and commanded other Mist Souls in silence.
She didn't need to speak, because Mist Souls had a special mental bond amongst each other. This was a perfect army that all commanding officers had dreamed of.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" With earth shaking explosion, the Mist Soul Army pressed forward with indomitable will.
They wouldn't die and wouldn't feel afraid. Even if their partners' bodies had been torn into pieces in the explosion or were squashed by the giant slimes, their hearts wouldn't shake.
On the contrary, their attacks could actually hit on the giant slimes' bodies. Swords, arrows, magices and divine spells, they all caused true damage to these giant slimes.
After shooting an arrow, Yun Que had found that she didn't need to attack anymore, because the Mist Soul Army had overwhelmed the giant slimes.
They were faster than lightning and more nimble than the leaves in the wind. Yun Que couldn't describe how strong this army was, because even the Ten Leaves Alliance didn't have such a super army.
As the first line of defence of the Sky Sword's camp, the giant slimes couldn't even hold on fifteen minutes. Before that, they had all been slaughtered and only left a pile of green cores on the ground.
Under the Dark Elf's control, the Mist Soul Army exposed a terrifying force.
Their swords could cut open the sea and the sky.
Their spells could summon hails, lightning and storms.
The Mist Soul Army was formed by a million girls, which meant that the army could use almost all attacking methods these girls knew and their bloodline powers.
When these girls' powers were gathered together and controlled by a great commander, the Dark Elf, their actual power was even stronger than Yun Que had guessed!
"This battle is over." Yun Xi stepped on the island and picked up one green core after another from the ground.
The green bracelet on Yun Xi's arm looked very interested in the green cores. It immediately absorbed these green cores all.
"Your Mist Soul Army is really a horrible monster!", Yun Que said.
Although this army was created by herself, and her Mist Soul was even this army's commander, Yun Que still thought that its power was much too strong and that it shouldn't be able to appear in this world.
Chapter 248: The Third Phase
The giant slime flock, which could destroy a kingdom easily, was killed of by Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army within fifteen minutes.
Even if it was the Ten Leaves Alliance's elite army, without hero ranked warriors' assistance, they would need to pay a heavy price to defeat these tough enemies.
But now, the Mist Soul Army slaughtered these giant slimes like breaking a dead branch from a tree. Till now, Yun Xi had only put ten thousand Mist Souls into the battlefield, and most Mist Souls were still staying behind the mist door.
"It's so lucky that we are in the same camp." Yun Que sorted out her feelings.
Is my Mist Soul really the supreme commander of this strong army? It's like a dream!
"It's because we have an excellent commander. I'm not good at commanding the army and it was all the Dark Elf Mist Soul's credit. Thank you for your recommendation." Yun Xi looked at the Dark Elf Mist Soul with a sheepish look.
The Dark Elf was standing in the front row of all Mist Souls. Because she wouldn't die, she didn't need to be protected by the army. Instead, she led the charge as a vanguard.
Yun Xi could see that she was familiar with battle. Under her leadership, the Mist Soul Army was about two times stronger than when he commanded the army. Before she used her hero ranked ability, the Mist Soul Army had wiped out all the giant slimes quickly.
Yun Que's recommendation was remarkable. The Dark Elf named "Black Moon" was born to be a war leader!
However, when Yun Xi looked at the Dark Elf, he could feel her loneliness.
"Nothing praiseworthy, because great command capability can be learned through practice. There are many excellent commanders in the universe, however, your Mist Soul Army is unique." Looking at her own projection, the lonely Dark Elf in the Mist Soul Army, Yun Que smiled bitterly.
As an assassin, why did she have such a great command capability? The reason was cruel.
For her mission, for her justice, she had stepped onto countless battlefields and had stained her hands with blood a long time ago.
Her justice wasn't without a price. For victory, she had made cruel choices many times and had given up many people who believed in her.
Everything was for victory, because only the victor could obtain the future.
"Let's keep moving. I have a feeling that this battle will be very cruel." Before they stepped on the island, they had encountered so many giant slimes. This fact made Yun Que have a very bad feeling in her heart.
Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's erosion of this world was faster and deeper than her imagination.
The information she had collected in the Caelian City was probably just a small portion of the Sky Sword's actual power.
"I have the same feeling. Many smells in the mist don't belong to this world." Yun Xi sniffed, feeling a vague tingling sensation through his White Emperor Mask.
"Bang!"
r /> "Bang!"
"Bang!"
Quickly, their bad feelings came true. With a spate of explosive sounds, something happened.
One slime after another gushed out of the ground and the water, flocking to Yun Xi and Yun Que.
Poison Slime, Marsh Slime, Ice Slime, Metal Slime, Lava Slime, Rock Slime, Giant Slime, Silver Slime... Yun Que had mentioned that there would be all kinds of slimes appearing in the second phase of the Sky Sword's coming. Now, they all appeared and rushed to them from the mist.
There was a special network amongst all the slimes. When the giant slimes were killed off, the slimes in the mist immediately knew it and made their response.
"Let's continue our fight!" Yun Que drew her black longbow with blood mark in her eyes.
"Open up, the Door of Mist Souls!" Yun Xi summoned the mist door again. Instantly, one row of Mist Souls after another walked out of the door and onto the battlefield.
...
In the deepest side of the Island of Mist, the Dark Shadow Spider Queen was sitting on her Dark Shadow Throne. Her naked toes lightly touched the big net in front of her.
Most of the area on the island had been covered in this big net, becoming the Dark Shadow Spider Queen's territory.
This was the Queen's favorite tactic: capturing her prey in the net, then let them choke to death in despair!
"74%..." With the power from the Sky Sword, this net was a hundred times bigger than all the nets she could weave before.
"75%..." Countless slimes were invading into the largest forbidden area in this world, the Island of Mist. The progress meant that they had occupied 3/4 of the space on this island, which also stood for the progress of the Sky Sword's coming.
What Yun Xi and Yun Que had known was far away from the truth. Even before they entered the Caelian City, the first Golden Slime King had been born. Soon after, the second, the third... Every Golden Slime King was like a node. They built a coordinate system, guiding the Sky Sword's avatar the way to this world.
This world was covered with the Water God's power. As a Sky Sword, Shaya Longnis was one of the strongest beings in the Sky Sword God's Domain. Even so, it wasn't easy for her to descend into this world. She must be guided by suitable nodes and the coordinate system, so that she would be able to squeeze into this world through a sufficiently large spatial channel.
Now, Shaya Longnis', the Sky Sword's coming had started the countdown.
As a void creature, the Dark Shadow Spider Queen could naturally find the weakest spatial point of any world. The Island of Mist was the best landing place she chose for the Sky Sword.
Chapter 249: Hua Huo Arrives at the Battlefield!
This was the weakest spatial point in the Water God's world and was also the source of the Mist Tide that people feared.
The monsters from the Mist Tide were living on this island. They moved along the Mist Tide and hunted the creatures who were carelessly involved into the mist. When the Mist Tide faded away, they would return to the Island of Mist themselves.
The people in this world didn't understand the principle behind it, neither the Dark Shadow Spider Queen, but she didn't mind it.
She only took this place as the Sky Sword's landing place and the nest of her Phase Spiders.
After the first Golden Slime Queen was born, she ordered all special slimes to go to this island once they were born. As a result, slimes had almost occupied half of the space on the island.
The people who hadn't seen Shaya Longnis, the Sky Sword could never imagine how strong her true power was.
This world's moving disaster, the brutal monsters in the Mist Tide, had almost all been killed off by these slimes.
Those special monsters who had once driven the young boys up the wall had all become the slimes' food.
Apart from the central area, where the strongest bone dragon inhabited, the Island of Mist had become the base camp of the Sky Sword.
When Yun Xi and Yun Que went to this place, it was like two sheep went into a tiger's mouth.
...
In the wilds, on the Island of Mist, a cruel battle had entered its hottest stage.
"Boom! Boom!"
One Red Lotus Arrow after another exploded amongst the slimes, clearing a wide area in the range of dozens of metres. But soon, more and more slimes had gushed out from the mist and filled the vacancy again.
These slimes could be regarded as the Slime Army’s hero units. They were not harmless low-grade monsters anymore. Instead, they all had special abilities.
Poison Slime could spit venom.
Ice Slime was protected by a halo of ice.
Giant Slime bodies were already a heavy weapon.
Lava Slime body temperature was so high that it could even melt the ground, not to mention that they could detonate themselves!
If they weren't facing the Mist Soul Army, but any other army, these slimes would already have won this battle.
In a way, the Mist Soul Army was the only force in this world that could defeat the Slime Army.
No matter how many slimes they would face, these Mist Souls would strike back with no mercy. No flame, ice blast and explosion could do harm to them, so they could fight their way through the slime crowd easily.
The slimes all dropped cores on the ground after they were killed by the Mist Souls. Yun Xi controlled the mist to take the cores back and let the green slime bracelet on his arm absorb them.
This was already the third area of the Island of Mist.
On the first two areas, Yun Xi and Yun Que had killed over a hundred thousand slimes and cleared out dozens of slime nests. However, this was just the beginning.
As if they just opened a box that should never be opened, more and more slimes rushed to them from the mist with no signs of stopping.
If it wasn't Yun Xi's Mist Soul Army, but the three High Priestesses, they would have been overwhelmed by the endless slimes by now.
"I didn't expect that it'd be so tiring!" Yun Que breathing hard put down the bow and adjusted her breath. Her hands were limp and painful at this moment. She needed to take a rest.
How many slimes have Yun Hai and I killed?
Probably the number is already over half a million. If converted their weight to human's body weight, the number should be over a million!
However, even after killing so many slimes, there are still more and more slimes gushing out of the mist.
How many slimes are in the mist? How can it be possible? They shouldn't have obtained sufficient nutrients to proliferate!
"You don't need to push yourself." Compared to Yun Que, Yun Xi was more leisurely.
"No. Letting down of my guard will mean that I'm close to death." Yun Que shook her head. "We are on the battlefield. Anything is possible and can happen on the battlefield. Maybe a strong monster will come and reverse the war situation..." Before Yun Que finished her words, she suddenly noticed that Yun Xi's body shook, with an emotion called "fear" in his eyes.
"You… are right. She... is coming..." Yun Xi's voice sounded nervous. For the first time, he looked really worried in front of Yun Que.
"She? Who is she?" Yun Que's instinct was as strong as Yun Xi's. She hadn't noticed that the "monster" was approaching.
"I knew I would see her sooner or later, but... oh, as expected, she is in the Sky Sword's camp..." Yun Xi took a deep breath, gazing at the sky.
"It's her!" After a little while, Yun Que also noticed the small black point in the sky. Her pupils contracted.
She would never forget this figure. She was defeated by this girl's sword, so she had to experience that "nightmare" again.
Stepping on one translucent halo after another in the air, one of the strongest trump cards, Yun Xi's childhood sweetheart, was rushing to them from the sky.
A strand of hair was rotating on her head, as if it was a small detecting device that was being disturbed.
With a violent rage, Yun Xi's first love, Hua Huo, was rushing to them from the Sky Sword's camp!
/> Chapter 250: I Will Protect You
Yun Xi didn't know what his childhood sweetheart had encountered in this world, however, he knew that Hua Huo's fighting will was as bright and burning as the sun.
When Hua Huo killed the male fiery dragon and fought against the twin witches, her power had shocked Yun Xi.
