The witch thought I am a Demon God
Chapter 1040 - 531

Chapter 1040: 531

On the edge of the Lorin Duchy, the Emperor and the Frankish army stood opposed at the Blue Goose Castle within Lorin Duchy, with war threatening to break out at any moment.

Therefore, both sides were fully prepared for battle.

The dueling ground was not an intricately decorated beautiful structure but merely a small grove that had been hastily cleared, witnessed by six Sacred Wizards and Frank’s Archbishop Lance.

They would bear witness to the outcome of this duel.

Without any pleasantries, the two Emperors ordered their troops to clash, and the armies immediately engaged each other face to face. The Emperor’s force of a hundred soldiers all consisted of Law Knights, who formed a special battle array that supported each other, producing an effect that surpassed that of any Knight Regiment under a singular Law.

Louis XI promptly commanded his Witch Group to unleash a barrage of curse spells and magic that sapped the enemy’s strength. These spells clashed with the Law, creating fog around the battlefield and inexplicably dropping a layer of murky grey dust from the sky.

That was a byproduct of the annihilation between Law and Magic.

However, Louis XI’s Witch Group was soon broken by the charge of the knights, and the witches were forced to scatter, with some already beheaded by the Law Knights. Louis XI, with a darkened face, commanded, "Summon the Hellfire Legion!"

Following the enchantment of some hidden witches at the back, the sky above the grove suddenly darkened, with meteors wrapped in green flames plummeting down. Invincible Hellfire Stone Men rose from the craters and began to counterattack the Emperor’s knights.

Meanwhile, the regrouped Witch Group continued their summoning. First, the ground’s soil turned black, then Straw Men, each lacking a left hand and wielding scythes, crawled out from the black soil.

These were the peculiar Straw Man Guardians summoned from the Imperial City.

Not only that, a swarm of Camilla giant eagles, as large as hills, were summoned, along with all sorts of monsters by the Witch Group.

The levels of these summoned creatures were very high.

When they all appeared on the battlefield, it shockingly caused severe changes in the heavens. The sun underwent an eclipse, black springs spewed forth from the earth, plants and grasslands rapidly mutated, and powerful curse magic summoned a legion of monsters here, forever changing the landscape.

Louis XI was the core of this summoning spell.

At the same time, after initially slaughtering all around them, the Emperor’s army immediately found themselves surrounded and outnumbered by the mass of monsters.

Emperor Aoyue III had brought five Law Knight Regiments with him. The units acted in seamless concert with each other, constituting the Emperor’s most vital trump card.

Thus, despite being at a numerical disadvantage, Oyo III was not dismayed. Instead, he raised his lance and with one blow killed three Hellfires.

"Stick close to me, charge through, we must kill the King of the Franke people," Oyo III suddenly understood the key advantage. The witches from the Imperial City specialized in summoning various high-level monsters.

Louis XI had meanwhile opened a Dark Door connected to the eclipse behind him, continuously summoning new creatures from within.

The longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it was to Oyo III.

Therefore, Oyo III decided to concentrate all forces and charge toward Emperor Louis XI of the Frankish people.

Louis XI in the air, looking down at the bloody path the Emperor had carved on the ground, continuously spurred his summoned creatures with magic to intercept the Emperor.

But at the forefront, the Emperor with his sacred Universal Law teamed up with the Law of the hundred knights behind him, forming an invincible arrow that pierced through the battlefield.

A sweat broke on Louis XI’s forehead. ’Damn Universal Law, none in my Witch Group can withstand Universal Law. As soon as they get near, they’ll be suppressed. No magic can block Universal Law.’

’The summoned creatures I had pinned my hopes on couldn’t withstand the Emperor’s army either.’

Seeing Oyo III leading his troops almost to his front, Louis XI hastily commanded the Witch Leader beside him to take his place as the core of the summoning spell, standing before the gate of specters and demons.

The Witch Leader took over the duty of guardian with trembling hands, "Your Majesty..."

Louis XI quickly left the core of the summoning array, and not long after he departed, Oyo III had already arrived with his troops.

Emperor Oyo III pierced the Witch Leader’s chest with his lance, and the powers of the five great Laws as well as the Universal Law flowed through his lance into the witch’s chest.

The soldiers of the Holy Empire cheered.

The Witch Leader, a mere ordinary Witch Marquis, stood no chance against such powerful Laws piercing her heart. In an instant, her magic was suppressed, destroyed, and her life force rapidly stripped away.

Oyo III lifted the Witch Leader’s body, flung it into the air for all to see. "Louis XI, why do you flee!"

"Why let this poor witch die for you?"

"Come out and fight me fairly and squarely, instead of hiding like a little girl behind others, waiting for their protection."

"Anyone who stands in my way will die, such is your fate."

Oyo III turned and continued his hunt, the Universal Law granting him an overwhelming advantage, killing the witches in an instant with a combined might of Universal Law and the five great Laws.
